Nissan Rogue won't shift problems

Filed Oct 30, 2026 · Acceleration, Electrical · GA

I was driving on the highway when all of a sudden, the car started to vibrate roughly and make this loud grinding noise. Speed was instantly reduced down to 40 MPH. I heard a loud bell sound and then an error message appeared on the dashboard. It said, " ENGINE MALFUNCTION POWER REDUCED SERVICE NOW. The accelerator was un responsive. The car immediately went from 70MPH to "limp mode." VERY SCARY! I had to immediately pull over to the right before being rear ended by cars coming up behind me.

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.

2023 Nissan Rogue SV Midnight Edition, 1.5L 3-cylinder VC-Turbo. Bought Nissan Certified Pre-Owned 12/11/2024 at 6,843 miles. Recall 25V‑437 (engine bearings, Nissan R25D1) was open on my car and never done before the failure, even though I was at the dealer 1/6/2026 after the remedy came out. On 9/9/2025 at 19,759 miles I told the dealer the car burps, the RPMs drop and it loses power from a stop. They said it was operating as designed. On 7/9/2026 at 29,203 miles I was driving at normal street speed with my mother and my dog in the car. The RPMs surged and the engine ran rough with heavy vibration. I pulled into my parking spot, thick white smoke poured out of the exhaust and a burning wire smell came into the cabin. I got them out. It would not restart. No warning lights at any point. The dealer found coolant in the oil and coolant leaking between the head and block, and replaced the engine, turbo, catalytic converter and 2 sensors under the recall. The new engine kept having problems. 8/12 cylinder 3 misfire before I picked it up. 8/19 check engine light on the freeway. 8/21 limp mode on the street: Engine Malfunction, Power reduced, Service now, and a collision warning message. Code P0303, cylinder 3 injector replaced. Codes set again on the dealer's test drive in heavy traffic and the advisor had to pull over, so all injectors were recalibrated. At least 16 Nissan text alerts and 4 alert emails. 54 days out of service. After that I had a fuel smell in the cabin, loss of power on hills, then engine roughness and a burning rubber smell until I turned it in. Nissan bought it back under the California lemon law on 10/20/2026 at 30,995 miles. Nissan engineers inspected it at the dealer in August. The car now belongs to Nissan, and I do not know what happened to the original engine. Full timeline attached.

On October 3rd while driving at approximately 60 MPH in the middle lane of a high-speed highway, the vehicle suffered a sudden, catastrophic engine failure. Without warning, the vehicle dropped into severe "limp mode," completely losing power and ability to maintain highway speeds. This created an immediate, life-threatening safety hazard as I was trapped in a live middle lane of traffic with rapidly decelerating speed. I was forced to navigate across active lanes to reach a breakdown lane near a notoriously dangerous, short-merge entrance ramp exit 38 off of I95 to the Merritt Parkway connector in Connecticut. After shutting the vehicle off and attempting a restart, the vehicle remained severely degraded. To reach physical safety, I had to crawl the vehicle at a dangerous 10 MPH on the highway shoulder to the nearest exit 36 off off of I95 and eventually to the local Nissan dealership service department. The Check Engine Light illuminated during this crisis. After a diagnostic test the mechanic informed me that the engine reached 278 degrees and there was no coolant in the reservoir with no external leak and it smelled .

I purchased a 2023 Nissan Rogue on XXX, from Go Indy Autos in [XXX]. On XXX, while driving on the highway, the vehicle suddenly lost acceleration and warning/check-engine lights illuminated. Concerned for my safety, I had it towed to Metro Nissan on XXX. I was informed that three recalls were open, and recall-related repairs were performed. I picked up the vehicle on XXX On XXX, the same problem occurred again while driving on the highway. The vehicle lost acceleration and struggled to maintain speed, creating a dangerous situation in traffic. I managed to reach DeFouw Nissan in [XXX], but the service department was closed. The vehicle was subsequently inspected by DeFouw Nissan, where technicians reproduced the problem: the vehicle entered limp mode and would not accelerate properly. Diagnostic code P0196 (engine oil temperature sensor) was documented. DeFouw's findings were consistent with the issues previously addressed at Metro Nissan. Both Nissan dealerships inspected the vehicle, and the problem required additional diagnostic work and repairs authorized under Nissan's warranty. The vehicle remained out of service for approximately three weeks and was not returned to me until XXX. The sudden loss of acceleration at highway speeds placed my life and the safety of other motorists at risk by preventing me from maintaining speed and responding safely to traffic. This occurred twice within days, including once shortly after recall-related repairs, leaving me concerned that the vehicle could fail again while driving. The manufacturer, Nissan, was contacted through Consumer Affairs (Case #XXX). Nissan reviewed the situation but denied my buyback request. Although repairs were completed, the repeated failures and safety risks remain serious concerns. The vehicle and service records are available for inspection upon request.

While driving on a major public highway, the vehicle suffered a sudden, catastrophic loss of motive propulsion, dropping immediately into a dangerous transmission limp mode. The dashboard displayed a critical error message stating 'Service CVT Power Reduced' alongside a Check Engine Light. The vehicle became an immediate stationary traffic hazard in a live highway lane, completely unable to accelerate or move safely out of the way of oncoming high-speed traffic. The hazard was severe enough to require an emergency safety response from the Gwinnett County Police Department (Case #PD262540884) to secure the scene and protect the disabled vehicle until a flatbed tow truck could remove it. A subsequent diagnostic scan by a certified corporate dealer (Premier Nissan) confirmed complete internal transaxle failure, throwing diagnostic trouble codes P0741-00 (Torque Converter), P0746-00, and P187E-09.
