I have tried without success to have Nissan Consumer Affairs assist me with an ongoing issue with my vehicle that started in February of 2026. The check engine light coming on and sending various codes related to system too lean. It was repaired in March of 2026 only to come on again this past August of 2026. Dealership in Crystal Lake Illinois M'Lady claimed it was repaired only for the light to come on again. They still are not sure why it's happening. They've had master technician from Nissan come and still cannot resolve the issue. The case manager at Nissan consumer affairs is extremely rude and unhelpful. She refuses to help me get the outcome desired with this case. She hasn't even bothered to contact the dealer where my car is to inquire about the updates or services done to the car. I want an early termination of my lease so that I can get a vehicle that is in working condition. I'm paying almost $600 a month on a vehicle that isn't safe or functional. Please help me get this resolved as consumer affairs is unwilling to act with efficiency and professionalism. Thanks

It is XXX; but back in June time frame 2026 an engine recall was called for my 2024 Nissan Rouge. Dangerous to the point that car would shut down or burst into flame with not warnings WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD AND AT ALL SPEEDS - hgwy. Nissans consumer affairs division discussed this in chat rooms with owners of the year vehicles 2023 - 2025? effected that when the engine is replaced YOU MUST ADDRESS AND CHANGE OUT THE TRANSMISSION. The vehicle is built on VCT technology - variable compression technology??. The replacement engine is so robust and apparently stronger than OME - Original Manufacture Equipment that marrying it with the OME transmission in a short period of time the engine would destroy the trans. Today only a few short months later at 5 AM traveling on XXX at max speed the trans went into LIMP MODE. Limp mode is Nissan's reference terminology I took it to the dealership where I leased it - and changed out the engine and married the anticipated trans failure - it was only a matter of time - it FAILED, the vehicle lost power, steering failed the car from 71 mph quickly slowed would not go any further it dropped speed so fast it was almost hit from behind by a tractor trailer - Nissan's consumer affairs division full well knows of the combination repair issues and NOW the dealership I brought it to, scanned the truck confirmed my worst nightmare was true that after they replaced the engine on recall AND tried to tip-toe away from a trans replacement the engine destroyed the trans and my wife was in grave danger THEY EXPECT US TO PAY $ 2,200.00 TO REPLACE THE TRANS - THEY ARE REFUSING TO PAY FOR THE REPLACMENT CAUSED BY THEM IGNORING RESPONSIBILITY. WE WANT OUT OF THIS LEASE EXPUNGE THE LEASE AGREEMENT AND STEP BACK FROM DEMANDS OF EXCESSIVE $ FOR HIGH MILAGE TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK AND PUT US INTO A NEW VEHICLE - "LEMON LAW' RECALL NOT RECTIFIED AND LIVES ARE AT RISK - CONTACT ME PLEASE [XXX] ROB MONTY - URGENT!!

I was merging onto a highway ramp. All of the cabin lights in my car turned on, and a message popped up on my dashboard that said "Engine Stall. Please Stop Safely." I was in the worst part of the road imaginable for this to happen. I was able to get it back up and running for just enough time to make it to the main road, then depended on gravity to get to the safest spot on the side of the road that I could find (still was not safe by any means but the best place I could be for that situation). I called a towing company, Bang's Towing, and waited for quite a while, hoping and praying that no one would hit my car. I had to inconvenience someone else to come pick me up. While waiting for the tow and for my ride, I did some research to figure out how and why this could have happened. I found out that there had been a recall issued for my car for MONTHS, for this exact issue, and I was never notified about it in any capacity. I checked my mail, both of my email addresses, my call logs, and all turned up empty. I then brought it to a Nissan dealership and it has been sitting there since that day. My point in all of this is that I was never given any sort of notification about an issue for my car which could have ended in a lot WORSE of a situation. I paid $347.80 for my car to be towed. I will be pursuing further action with Nissan to rectify but still wanted to put this on record.
The Specific Defect: My vehicle has two active federal safety recalls: the federal safety agency Campaign 26V080 (internal engine bearing failure causing a severe knock) and the federal safety agency Campaign 26V081 (electronic throttle body malfunction). The Dealer Violations: Nissan McDonough officially diagnosed the engine as faulty but refused to execute the free engine replacement under the campaign. Nissan South Morrow attempted to charge me retail out-of-pocket prices for the recalled throttle body, they did not replace it, they only conducted the OMC (?) The service manager explicitly refused the recall by claiming a code for a "throttle valve door" is not covered under the throttle body assembly campaign. Federal law explicitly mandates that when an active safety recall is present, manufacturers and their franchise dealers must complete the repair without charge and frame. I used my Rouge for my courier services and I am contract by two companies Aerospace and Airspace and I am in danger of losing my contacts. I have lost 10 days of wages thus far. Can you please assist me.

We had bought this vehicle from the dealership in March 2026, it had seemed like they were trying to get rid of it. Within under a month of purchase, it flashed a malfunction error and broke down. Sent to dealership, they had fixed the relay. Problem has since worsened. Car runs extremely rough and I get two malfunction errors. During long periods of driving with extensive starting and stopping, I notice issues such as a delay when shifting from park to drive. Im currently studying Automotive Technology where I got to diagnose the car. It is showing 11 codes. [XXX], [XXX], [XXX], [XXX], [XXX], [XXX], [XXX].

Engine / Fuel/Smog/Emissions System (EGR Cooler) Description of the Safety Hazard - My 2024 Nissan Rogue experienced a sudden and catastrophic failure of the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) cooler assembly. The internal core of the EGR cooler cracked, causing engine coolant to leak and completely drain. This defect caused severe engine overheating, a sudden and dangerous loss of motive power while driving the vehicle went into limp mode, and experience engine stalling. The sudden loss of engine power/stalling on the highway created an immediate, high-risk collision hazard. Furthermore, coolant leaking into hot engine components presents a critical thermal/fire risk.The vehicle is currently grounded and entirely undrivable at an authorized Nissan dealership. The dealership confirmed that the vehicle cannot be safely operated. However, Nissan cannot provide a repair timeline because the replacement EGR cooler (OEM Part 14735-6RC0B) is on an indefinite national backorder due to widespread, systemic manufacturing defects across this engine line. Hundreds of other drivers are experiencing this exact same dangerous failure, and a formal safety recall is urgently needed before it causes a fatal accident.
The contact owns a 2024 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving at approximately 53 MPH, the vehicle intermittently stalled. The Messages "Engine Malfunction. Power Reduce. Service Now" and the "Start/Stop System Fault. Idle Stop System" were displayed on the instrument panel, and the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken back to the residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 59,267.
At approximately 30,000 miles on this Nissan Rogue 2024 the vehicle flashed a 'low power mode - engine malfunction' code. The vehicle was brought to the dealer and they were unable to reproduce or find the code in the vehicle on board computer's memory. The same happened 2 or 3 more time over the next few weeks. Each time the vehicle cleared the code after being turned off and back on a few hours later. Vehicle was brought into owner's personal body shop and after deep retrieval methods codes were still not found. Code reappeared again and vehicle was brought to Nissan Bayside dealer again on or about July 29. Dynamic road test was done and codes were reproduced and sheared metal from pistons were found in the oils and other areas of the vehicle. Vehicle had long block replaced and vehicle was retrieved by owner on 8/18. On 8/19, a few hours after receiving the vehicle the same warning low power - engine malfunction code appeared again. An image is attached here. Vehicle will be returning to official dealer today for a 3rd time. Apparently there are 2 major issues: major engine malfunction and degrading is occurring and second the on board computer is erasing and spoliating all evidence of these codes once the vehicle is shut down and started again.
The contact owns a 2024 Nissan Rogue. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 26V0801000 (Fuel System, Gasoline, Engine and Engine Cooling); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available, even though the notification stated that the parts were available. The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced several issues, including the loss of motive power and engine shut-off as stated in the recall notification. The local dealer was contacted and stated there was no such recall. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue but stated that the recall did not exist. The failure mileage was 95,000.
The contact owns a 2024 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 26V080000 (Engine and Engine Cooling); however, a failure occurred after the recall repair was performed. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle made an abnormal sound and lost drive power. No warning light was illuminated. The contact pushed the vehicle to the side of the road and waited 10-15 minutes to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 10,570.
I am reporting a serious safety incident involving my 2024 Nissan Rogue, which caught fire after a history of shuddering, hesitation, and problems during acceleration. Prior to the fire, I brought the vehicle to a Nissan dealership multiple times because it had a recall and was shuddering during acceleration and at times felt as though it might stall. During these visits, the dealership performed recall related work, diagnostic testing, and repairs involving engine-related components. The vehicle continued to experience similar symptoms after the initial repairs, so I returned to the dealership for further evaluation. Additional work was performed after an intermittent misfire was identified, including replacement of a fuel injector and spark plug and further testing of ignition-related components. Despite these repairs, the vehicle continued to have problems. Shortly afterward, while I was driving, the Rogue experienced a significant loss of acceleration and power and subsequently caught fire. The vehicle sustained extensive fire damage and was ultimately declared a total loss by my insurance company. I am submitting this complaint because the fire occurred after repeated documented symptoms involving shuddering, hesitation, loss of acceleration, and an intermittent misfire, as well as multiple attempts by the dealership to diagnose and repair the problem. I believe this sequence of events should be reviewed by the federal safety agency to determine whether the fire and preceding loss of power may be related to a safety defect affecting this vehicle or other Nissan Rogues. I have supporting repair records, photographs, insurance documentation, and other information available if requested.
I was driving on the highway to work. All of a sudden my car lost control and started spinning in circles. I attempted to steer and break but it would not stop. All the lights came on on the dash with an engine warning. I lost total control and slammed into a guardrail. I did call 911 because I was in part of the road facing the wrong direction. They sent the fire department. I was able to eventually restart the car and we safely drove it a couple miles down the road off the highway.
after 2 weeks of purchasing the vehicle, engine light came on and dealership said it was bad catalytic converter, a month later, they determined it was caused by coolant leaking into engine. so now I need a new engine and catalytic converter
The vehicle suddenly lost motive power due to an engine/throttle control failure consistent with defects described in the federal safety agency Campaigns 26V081 and R25A8/R25A9/R25B1. It entered limp mode and became unable to accelerate. The vehicle is available for inspection. This created a safety risk because the vehicle was stranded in extreme heat for several hours with no access to water or shelter. I became overheated and physically distressed while waiting for assistance. Nissan would not tow the vehicle, so it sat overnight at a warehouse before eventually being transported to a dealership. A dealer confirmed the vehicle entered limp mode but did not complete the recall repair. The vehicle has now been at the dealership for four days without inspection, and I was told it should not have been towed there, so they will not prioritize it. The manufacturer cannot see the open recall because the dealer incorrectly marked it completed. Because the vehicle could not be driven and the defect has not been repaired, I was unable to travel to work and was terminated as a result. Warning lamps and messages appeared immediately before the failure, including reduced engine power and driver assist system unavailable.
My 2024 Nissan Rogue 1.5L VC-Turbo FWD experienced a serious engine/powertrain failure while driving. The vehicle showed warning messages/lights, including an oil-related warning, began shaking badly, made a loud knocking noise, lost power, and shut off in the street. The vehicle is no longer safely drivable. A Nissan dealer inspected the vehicle and documented that the engine is “knocking internally” and recommended replacement of the engine assembly and turbo, with possible catalyst replacement. The dealer also recommended CVT valve body and O-ring replacement. The scan showed engine-related codes including P219A, P0506, P0303, and P0017, and transmission-related codes including P0746 and P187E. This failure put my safety and others at risk because the vehicle lost power/shut off while in the roadway and could not be safely driven. The vehicle/component is available for inspection upon request. I am concerned this may be related to the known Nissan Rogue 1.5L VC-Turbo engine failure/oil-temperature/bearing issue, but I was told my VIN is not currently included in the engine recall and that no oil-temperature recall code came up. I am filing this complaint because the vehicle had internal engine knock, loss of power, warning lights/messages, and dealer-confirmed engine failure similar to the condition described in the recall. I request the federal safety agency review whether vehicles outside the current recall VIN population may also be affected.
Engine failure due to leaking coolant. Leaked coolant into turbo and catalytic converter causing damage. Currently at Nissan of yuba city. Engine malfunction and check engine light came on after failure.
The contact owns a 2024 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle unexpectedly stalled and failed to accelerate. An “Engine Malfunction – Power Reduced Service Now” warning message was displayed. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. The failure recurred on multiple occasions. The vehicle was taken to multiple independent mechanics. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 6,400.
Went to turn car on engine made knocking sounds and lost power and sputtered out. Errors came on and said "warning loss of or reduced power to the engine" as well as something else I can't remember. Every warning light came on and stayed on. Car cannot be driven and is currently being towed to Nissan.
The vehicle became inoperable at high speeds on the interstate, I-65. My husband was able to safely merge to the right shoulder to avoid any crashes. The car made some loud clunking sounds before all power was lost. The car was then towed to the nearest Nissan dealership. It took 3 business days for the dealer to look at the car. The entire engine needed to be replaced. The dealership was able to replace the engine and complete quality assessment/drive and this was completed 4/16/2026. Because this was part of a trip interruption, the dealership is over 150 miles away from my home. I am still not reunited with my car. I have been without this vehicle for 25 days.
Subject: Formal Complaint and Denial of Recall Reimbursement – Nissan North America To Whom It May Concern, I am filing a formal complaint against Nissan North America for refusing to reimburse $6,703 in out-of-pocket expenses related to a failed VC-Turbo engine and a faulty electronic throttle body. These components failed on October 20, 2025, and are directly associated with active, ongoing safety recalls. Despite submitting a formal claim through Nissan Consumer Affairs and providing all necessary documentation, my request for reimbursement has been repeatedly denied. Nissan is failing to honor its regulatory obligation to cover costs for repairs involving known safety defects. I request that the federal safety agency investigate this refusal to reimburse legitimate recall-related expenses. Thank you for your time and assistance in this matter. Nissan is breaking Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act in this matter. As they are purposely denying reimbursement on safety recall out of pocket repairs done. As nissan at the time of engine failure back on October 2025 refused to honor the recall repair & forced the customer to pay out of pocket for a failed manufacturing defect on Nissan vc turbo engine & Failed Nissan electric throttle body. All recalled manufacturing defects caused by Nissan. Were on October 2025 the engine on my 2024 nissan rogue cut off while driving with my family., with no warning & almost got us into a car accident. The cause was due to failed bearings in the vc turbo engine that nissan refused to fix that caused the vc turbo engine to fail and electric throttle body. All are recalls and serious safety defects. Nissan has been refusing to fix since 2025 in my matter and still till this day in 2026. $5, 700 out of pocket for Nissan vc turbo & $1,003 out of pocket for Nissan Electric throttle body. All failed due to Nissan manufacturer Defect. Safety recalls Nissan usa / Nissan assistant & Nissan consumer affairs. Are all refusing reimbursement on recalls
The contact owns a 2024 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while her husband was driving approximately 70 MPH, the check engine warning light and several other unknown warnings were illuminated. The vehicle lost automotive power and stalled. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and it was determined that the engine block was cracked, and the engine needed to be replaced. The contact was aware of the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 26V080000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The dealer informed the contact that replacing the engine was not included in the recall repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000.
Incident Date: 04/05/2026 Vehicle Speed: 65–70 MPH Location: [XXX] Component: Engine / Power Train / Fuel System Summary of Safety Defect: While traveling at highway speeds (65–70 MPH) with four passengers (including two children), the vehicle suffered a sudden, catastrophic engine failure without any prior warning or symptomatic noise. The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) began flashing rapidly, immediately followed by a total loss of motive power. Despite throttle input, the vehicle failed to maintain speed or accelerate, creating an immediate hazard in high-speed traffic. Hazardous Conditions encountered: Upon the loss of power, I observed white smoke trailing from the exhaust and a strong burning odor entering the cabin from the engine compartment. To avoid a high-speed rear-end collision, I was forced to perform an emergency maneuver across active lanes of traffic to reach the shoulder. Due to the immediate fear of a vehicle fire (indicated by the smoke and burning smell), my family was forced to evacuate the vehicle and wait outside in a remote location for six hours. Correlation to Known Defects: This incident appears to be a direct manifestation of the defect described in Nissan Recall ID R25E3/R25E4 / the federal safety agency ID 26V0801 regarding Engine Main Bearing Seizure. The failure resulted in a complete loss of propulsion and a potential fire risk due to fluid ignition or a breached engine block. Post-Incident Status: The vehicle was towed to Nissan of Cumming and is currently awaiting a formal inspection for internal metal debris. The failure of this critical component under highway conditions posed a life-threatening risk to my family and other motorists.

Electronic throttle body failure. No power engine stopped while operating. Dealership replaced Electronic throttle body and tested electronic . Could have caused crash . Nissan declining recall reimbursement expense and tow . Have extended coverage still declined
I was driving my company car down the road, and without much warning, steam and smoke came out the tail pipe. Upon being diagnosed, it was determined that it had coolant on the Pistons. The vehicle has 68,000 miles just out of warranty. The cost of fix is 80% of the value of the vehicle.
The vehicle experiences a severe loss of power, placing it into a reduced-power or limp mode that prevents the vehicle from exceeding approximately 10 mph. The issue has occurred repeatedly despite multiple repair attempts. The battery was replaced initially, after which the vehicle broke down while still at the dealership. The service department removed the new battery & reinstalled the original battery, at which point the vehicle temporarily operated normally.On a subsequent visit for the same reduced-power condition, the dealership replaced the throttle body chamber and multiple gaskets. This repair resolved the issue only for a short period of time. During a third service visit, I paid approximately $3,000 for additional repairs; however, the same issue occurred again, & I was unable to safely leave the dealership parking lot. The vehicle is currently available for inspection, testing, & servicing upon request. All prior inspections & repair attempts are documented in dealership service records. My safety & the safety of others were placed at significant risk because the vehicle unexpectedly loses power while being driven. The vehicle abruptly slows & cannot exceed 10 mph. This occurred while driving on the highway during heavy 5:00 p.m. traffic, as well as during normal roadway driving. A sudden and severe reduction in speed in traffic creates a high risk of rear-end collisions or other serious accidents, particularly if surrounding drivers are unable to react in time. Yes. The dealership where the vehicle was purchased is the same dealership that has serviced the vehicle on all three occasions. Each time, the dealership has inspected the vehicle and represented that the issue was repaired. However, the problem continues to occur immediately after service, including instances where the vehicle could not be driven out of the dealership parking lot. Any qualified service center test-driving the vehicle would be able to observe & reproduce. Yes check engine light
