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)

What owners say
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The throttle body/throttle chamber system malfunctioned, causing the vehicle to stall and shut off when shifted into gear. The vehicle was diagnosed and repaired by Dick Smith Nissan in [XXX]. The defective component was replaced as part of the repair. I can provide service records and repair documentation upon request. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? My vehicle stalled unexpectedly while I was driving in traffic, creating a dangerous situation because there were vehicles both in front of and behind me. The sudden loss of power left me stranded in the roadway and at risk of being involved in a collision. Fortunately, bystanders helped push my vehicle out of traffic and into a nearby parking lot. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. Dick Smith Nissan in [XXX], inspected the vehicle and confirmed the issue. Diagnostic testing revealed throttle body fault codes stored in the system. The dealership replaced the throttle chamber, reprogrammed the ECM, and completed a drive cycle to correct the problem. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? The vehicle was inspected by Dick Smith Nissan, an authorized Nissan dealership. To my knowledge, the vehicle and component have not been inspected by the manufacturer, law enforcement, or insurance representatives. Were there any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No. There were no warning lamps, messages, drivability issues, or other symptoms before the vehicle stalled. After the vehicle stalled in traffic, all dashboard warning lights illuminated. The first indication of a problem occurred at the time of the failure on March 22, 2026. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
On a Friday heading to work, my 2024 Nissan Rogue experienced a sudden and violent stall while I was attempting to accelerate in traffic, creating an immediate safety hazard. The vehicle instantly entered a severe limp mode. The dashboard flashed an engine malfunction warning and blocked all acceleration inputs. The engine would turn on and idle, but the second I pressed the gas pedal the vehicle would shut off completely. I had a mobile mechanic come out to do a diagnostic scan after i had the car towed home. The diagnostic scan retrieved only electronic throttle control codes P2101 and P2119. There was absolutely no antifreeze or smoke coming out of the tailpipe at the time of the mechanical failure when my vehicle broke down. The vehicle became completely undrivable due to the electronic throttle body failing in motion, which matches open safety recall defects for this model year. Nissan Consumers Affairs is currently refusing to cover the repair under the factory recall safety campaigns.
I was driving when the engine stalled(the car jerked and then stopped) and the car came to a stop and automatically switched to park and then it turned off, after a few hours it started back up and the it was working ok until I got a message for Update fuel system and then qhen I was doing again it jerked
On October 7, 2026, while driving a 2023 Nissan Rogue equipped with a 1.5L 3-cylinder VC-Turbo engine, the vehicle suddenly began jerking and making loud mechanical knocking and rattling noises. Shortly afterward, the engine stalled, completely lost power, and became inoperable while the vehicle was in motion. The vehicle had to be towed to a Nissan dealership for inspection. The engine failure occurred suddenly and without sufficient warning, creating a serious safety concern and the potential for a collision. The symptoms appear consistent with reported premature engine bearing and internal component failures associated with Nissan's 1.5L VC-Turbo engines, which have been the subject of federal safety recalls and investigations. Despite the premature and catastrophic nature of the engine failure, Nissan denied the request for an engine replacement, leaving the vehicle inoperable. I am requesting that the federal safety agency investigate this incident to determine whether the engine failure is related to a known manufacturing defect and whether additional corrective action is necessary to protect other drivers from similar sudden engine failures.
On [XXX], my 2022 Nissan Rogue (1.5L VC-Turbo, about 66,000 miles) suddenly lost power while being driven near Lehighton, PA. The check engine light came on, the vehicle would not respond to the accelerator, the oil pressure warning came on, and the engine stalled. We had to get to the side of the road with no power, which put us and surrounding traffic at risk. The vehicle could not be driven and was towed 128 miles to a Nissan dealer. The Nissan dealer confirmed the failure. Their master technician found coolant getting past the valves into the engine cylinders. Nissan then stated that the EGR cooler failed, allowing coolant into the engine and causing it to overheat. The engine must be replaced. Nissan declined to cover the repair, stating the EGR cooler is not covered under its extended engine warranty. A third-party inspector for the vehicle’s service contract is expected to examine the vehicle. The dealer has been asked to retain the failed EGR cooler for inspection. This vehicle is included in recall 25V‑437 (engine bearings). The recall remedy (Nissan campaign R25D1: ECM reprogram and engine check) was completed by a Nissan dealer on [XXX], at about 56,500 miles, and the engine was reported in good condition. The engine failed about 9,500 miles later. Prior warnings: Sluggish throttle reponse about 30 miles before total failure. The engine oil level was full, and the oil had been changed shortly before the trip. Other owners have reported similar EGR cooler failures on 2022 Rogues leading to coolant intrusion, overheating, and engine failure. I believe the EGR cooler on the 1.5L VC-Turbo engine can fail internally and cause a sudden loss of motive power, and it should be investigated.

The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at 70 MPH, the vehicle unexpectedly stalled. An exhaust odor entered the cabin when the failure occurred. Upon restarting the vehicle, the electrical system powered on, but the engine failed to start. The contact associated the failure with the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 25V437000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with a failed head gasket requiring a complete engine replacement. The failure mileage was approximately 81,983.
The car has a egr cooler going out, it caused the coolant to completely drain and the car started to stall on the highway and jolt making it extremely unsafe to drive. It caused the vehicle to start to overheat and not be able to drive while we were driving on the highway, it could have caused a major accident. This is a known defect across 21 rogues but Nissan is reusing to help since it is not a recall. I contacted the dealership and Nissan consumer affairs.
The contact owns a 2024 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 - 40 MPH, the vehicle unexpectedly stalled, with the message "Engine Malfunction - Power Reduced" displayed. Due to the failure, the vehicle failed to accelerate as needed, and the vehicle was coasted and push into a parking lot. The vehicle was towed to a dealer, where it was diagnosed with throttle body failure. The contact was informed that the throttle body needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact believed that the failure was associated with a previous transmission failure and replacement and suggested to the dealer that the failure was associated with the throttle body. The dealer informed the contact that the throttle body had been replaced; however, no paperwork was provided to the contact about the repair. The failure mileage was 63,000.
In mid-XXX, my wife reported that all the warning lights (except CHECK ENGINE) lit up along with the warning sounds. The engine immediately started losing power. When car was pulled over, it sounded like a rough running engine and very little power. Since the first time, the issue has occurred a couple dozen of times. When the car is turned off for 30 seconds and turned back on, everything resets and there is no issue. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason for this occurring (happens in hot or cold temps, wet or dry conditions, all speeds, etc). Owner (me) put a FIXD device into the OBD2 port and it provided several error codes - not of which made much sense. I took screen shots of the codes and put [XXX] AI to work. Tried to troubleshoot myself but it got complicated very quickly. Took vehicle into Nissan dealership on XXX and explained that the codes came on intermittently and described the issue and engine power reduction. I paid for the engine scan ($200) and, as I thought, it came back reading NO CODES. I then provided to the service agent (Dave) an email with a video of the codes happening in real time along with the error codes provided by the FIXD device. The dealership was not able to pull any error codes nor were they able to duplicate the failures. After 1 week, I took the car back since we needed it. The safety issue is that the engine loses power and has stalled on occasion. The time my wife was driving 60 mph and engine lost power was scary and she had a friend in the car at the time. I have video clips of the errors while driving which will provide you additional information. However, I was not able to attach them below as .MP4 files are not allowed. Will provide on request.
