1. The internal combustion engine assembly failed. Specifically, the variable-compression 1.5L VC-Turbo engine suffered a severe mechanical breakdown in Cylinder #3, resulting in only 5 PSI of compression and a 75-80% air leak due to an intake valve failure. The authorized dealership confirmed that the engine oil is clean, the vehicle has been maintained, and the main bearings are functional (proving this is a premature structural material defect of the powertrain assembly, not owner neglect). Yes, the vehicle and the complete, unaltered engine assembly are fully intact and available for inspection upon request. Location - Authorized Deale 2. The engine failure caused an immediate and sudden loss of motive power while driving on a busy state route. The vehicle lost the ability to maintain speed or accelerate, requiring me to maneuver to the shoulder. A sudden, un-commanded loss of engine power created a risk of being rear-ended and created a safety hazard. 3. The failure has been formally diagnosed and confirmed by an authorized corporate dealership (Lithia Nissan, Clovis, CA). The service department ran advanced engine diagnostics, documenting the 5 PSI compression and 75-80% intake valve leak on Cylinder #3, and explicitly recommended a complete, full engine replacement. Email with notes attached below. 4. Yes. The vehicle and the defective engine components have been physically inspected by the manufactures authorized dealership. (The manufacturer is currently attempting to deny coverage under Recall 26V080 by claiming a single cylinder failed rather than the bearings.) 5. There were no mechanical symptoms, unusual noises, warning lamps, or dashboard messages prior to the incident. The vehicle was operating normally when the engine catastrophically failed. The Check Engine light illuminated simultaneously with the sudden loss of power. After managing to coast the vehicle to the shoulder of the road, Oil Pressure warning lamp came on as the engine stopped.

I am reporting recurring engine warnings on my 2023 Nissan Rogue. On November 2, 2026, an engine malfunction warning appeared, followed by the check-engine light. I also saw a reduced-power warning. On November 6, the engine warning returned when I first started the vehicle and cleared after restarting. The current odometer reading is 65,693 miles. Mike Rezi Nissan Atlanta inspected the vehicle and told me a turbocharger-related component needs replacement. The repair is still pending. I bought the vehicle on October 18, 2025, and was told at the time that the engine recall had already been addressed. I am concerned that the vehicle could lose power in traffic. I am asking the federal safety agency to review whether the recurring warnings and the dealer’s findings may be related to an existing engine recall or to similar safety complaints from other Rogue owners.

The problem started May 2026 when i was driving on interstate and suddenly my car started overheating out of no where. Made an appointment with nissan dealership. They couldnt find anything , filled it up to top with coolant and said it was nothing.. 2.5 weeks later same thing happend. Why would it be overheating when i just topped the coolant. Back to nissan i go. They said it was some part that needed replaced but might be somthing else ok fixed it, one 3.5 weeks later overheating out of no where again.. back to nissan for 3rd time July 2026 .. I was told it was coolant leaking into the engine cylinders..Suv was at nissan from july 2026 until Nov2026. I was told by nissan i now need a new motor/engine because of the EGR Valve. I was told by nissan they have been needing to fix this problem in MULTIPLE rogues. No engine light came on any of these situations which could of put me in an accident! On the third time this happend the car started driving weird. My ext warranty did not want to cover this and i do not have 8,000 to fix this.. Warranty company made nissan take the whole engine apart , once i said i cant afford to fix this they put the car back together and a lot of warning lights came on.

I am writing to formally complain about the ongoing mechanical problems with my 2023 Nissan Rogue following maintenance and an oil change performed at a Nissan To Nissan Customer Relations, The check engine light came on. I immediately returned the vehicle to Nissan for inspection. However, I was informed that the problem was not their responsibility. I communicated with the company so many times every time they took my car for days and nothing happened I recorded video an audio for me and my customer while that’s happened and honestly, I cannot drive my car anymore and the company will be responsible if any problem happen. Since then, I have continued experiencing serious problems with my vehicle. Most recently, the vehicle has repeatedly stalled while driving. On one night, it stopped twice while I had passengers in the car. The following day, it stopped twice again, with the most recent incident occurring just minutes before I reported it. These incidents have put my safety, my passengers' safety, and my livelihood at risk. I use this vehicle for my Uber business, and every time it stops working, I lose income and risk putting people's lives in danger. I purchased a Nissan vehicle expecting reliability and safety, not repeated mechanical failures following dealership service. I am requesting the following: 1. A full and independent investigation into the maintenance and repairs performed by Nissan. 2. A technical inspection to determine why the vehicle repeatedly shuts down while driving. 3. A written explanation of the cause of these failures. 4. Reimbursement for any expenses and financial losses resulting from this situation, where applicable. 5. A permanent solution to this problem, not another temporary repair. I have documentation and service records to support my complaint. Sincerely, [XXX] 2023 Nissan Rogue Midnight Edition INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

On October 28, 2026, at approximately 2:30 PM, I was driving my 2020 Nissan Rogue with approximately 122,213 miles when the vehicle suddenly began losing power while I was accelerating. At approximately the same time, a critical oil warning appeared on the dashboard instructing me to stop immediately, and the check engine light illuminated. Prior to this incident, I had received no oil-related warnings or other indications that the engine oil was dangerously low. I proceeded slowly to a nearby gas station, where I checked the engine oil dipstick. No oil registered on the dipstick. I added engine oil, after which the check engine light went off. Because the warning had cleared, I continued driving the vehicle on October 29 and October 30. On October 30, I brought the vehicle to an independent mechanic for a previously scheduled inspection. After moving the vehicle a short distance in the parking lot, the mechanic advised that the engine was severely damaged and instructed me to drive it home, park it, and not drive it again until I determined how to proceed. No comprehensive engine diagnostic examination was performed. I am concerned that the vehicle experienced a serious oil loss or lubrication failure without adequate advance warning, resulting in suspected severe engine damage. The sudden loss of power while accelerating created a potential safety hazard because the vehicle unexpectedly slowed while in traffic. The cause of the oil loss and the condition of the oil-pressure warning system have not yet been determined. The vehicle has not been inspected by Nissan or its representatives. The vehicle is currently parked and available for inspection upon request. I am requesting an investigation into the engine failure, possible excessive oil consumption, and the timing and operation of the oil-pressure warning system.

On September 27, 2026, at approximately 10:00 a.m., while driving on I-26, the check engine light illuminated and the vehicle rapidly lost power, creating a safety hazard in highway traffic. I was forced to pull onto the shoulder to avoid a potential crash and exit the interstate. The vehicle had approximately 75,929 miles at the time of failure. The vehicle was towed for diagnosis. Firestone Complete Auto Care diagnosed the issue on the same day but could not perform the necessary engine repairs. The vehicle was then towed to Whetzel's Automotive, where a failed engine was diagnosed. The repair required replacement with a remanufactured engine at a total cost exceeding $9,500, including diagnostics, engine purchase, and labor. I believe this sudden engine failure at relatively low mileage presents a significant safety concern.
