The contact owns a 2025 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, she noticed the engine light illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact also stated that the instrument panel displayed a warning indicating reduced engine power and that the vehicle was unsafe to drive. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with a seized turbo that required replacement; however, the vehicle was repaired without the contact's consent. The contact referenced the federal safety agency campaign number 26V080000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) as the cause of the failure, but the VIN was not included in the recall repair. The failure mileage was 95,000.

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.

After taking the Nissan Rogue to the dealer where I purchased the vehicle, the dealer was able to reproduce the reported issue of the vehicle not starting. After completing an inspection of the vehicle, it was determined that due to the EGR Cooler failing, coolant leaked and mixed with the engine oil that caused a catastrophic engine failure. There were no warning messages or symptoms prior to the engine failure.

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.

Vehicle Mileage: 82,775 Component Affected: Engine / Cooling System / Fuel/Emission System (EGR Cooler) My 2023 Nissan Rogue equipped with the 1.5L VC-Turbo engine suffered a catastrophic internal engine failure, leaving the vehicle completely inoperable and causing a dangerous situation due to severe engine overheating (Diagnostic Trouble Code P1217). A professional inspection and pressure test by a certified technician (Repair Order #38473) revealed that the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) cooler completely failed to hold pressure. As a direct result of this internal component failure, coolant drained entirely from the reservoir and rapidly flooded Cylinder 2. The coolant cross-contaminated the engine lubrication system, mixing water into the engine oil and permanently destroying the internal integrity of the long block engine assembly. The vehicle now requires a completely new long block engine, turbocharger, catalytic converter, and EGR cooler. Nissa is currently aware of widespread, premature catastrophic engine failures across this exact 2023 Rogue 1.5L VC-Turbo engine line, having issued a massive engine replacement recall and 10-year/120,000-mile warranty extension in March 2026 (the federal safety agency Campaign 26V080) for main crankshaft bearing failures. However, Nissan is currently exploiting a technical loophole to deny coverage for my vehicle. Because the root cause of my engine's destruction was an internal EGR cooler pressure failure rather than a crankshaft bearing failure, Nissan claims it is exempt from covering the repair despite the final mechanical damage, safety risk, and engine destruction being completely identical. Nissan should not be permitted to avoid liability for a known, systemic powertrain defect by restricting recall remedies to a singular root cause when adjacent components like the EGR cooler are causing identical, catastrophic engine failures well under their self-declared 120,000-mile engine lifespan. It is identical to what has been happening.

I am reporting repeated loss of engine power and subsequent engine failure involving my 2023 Nissan Rogue SV equipped with the 1.5L VC-Turbo engine. On February 3, 2026, at 151,975 miles, Nissan of Boerne performed recall R25D1 and campaign PA447. Following that service, the vehicle experienced repeated loss of power and limp-mode conditions, creating a safety concern while driving because the vehicle could not accelerate normally. In April 2026, World Car Nissan documented an engine malfunction complaint accompanied by forward and rear collision warning lights. In May–June 2026, at 163,589 miles, Nissan of Boerne confirmed trouble code P2564 and diagnosed a turbocharger wastegate stuck open. The dealership replaced the turbocharger assembly. In September 2026, at 172,431 miles, the vehicle again experienced a severe loss of acceleration. The engine RPM increased when pressing the accelerator, but the vehicle would not accelerate normally. The dealership documented the complaint as loss of power without warning lights and replaced the three-way catalytic converter. In October 2026, Nissan of Boerne diagnosed a blown head gasket, coolant leaking into cylinder 3, overheating, and trouble code P04FA (EGR over-temperature). The dealership recommended replacing the engine long block for $7,166.52. The vehicle is currently inoperable. These problems have been examined by authorized Nissan dealerships, and the service invoices document the diagnoses and repairs. The vehicle's current condition may be available for inspection through the dealership, subject to confirmation. I am concerned about the recurring loss of power, the potential danger of being unable to accelerate in traffic, and whether the vehicle was adequately inspected under applicable VC-Turbo engine safety recalls. Nissan Consumer Affairs advised that the recall had been completed and declined further assistance.
