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)

What owners say
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.

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.
Driving down the highway on a family road trip the car suddenly flashed all warning lights and goes in to limp mode. We’re on the highway surrounded by cars going 80+ and trying to get to the side. We’re reach an exit and limp to an autozone where they read a code about an EGR system. Car gets towed to the dealer and they’ve determined there is coolant in the oil and the engine needs replaced. There is a recall for engine failure but they say this isn’t related. They can’t say what caused the failure but assured me it wasn’t the engine bearing recall.
I woke about 6am this morning and when i looked outside i noticed my vehicle was turned on Independently and there were several warning lights and the gear shift was not lite up and the Stop/Start System was on as well as the warning malfunction see owners manual i turned the vehicle off turned it back on and cleaned the sensors still the same issue I called Geico this morning had the vehicle towed to the dealership and they informed that the brake switch it faulty and needed to be replaced the brake fluid needed to flushed and the rear brakes needed to be placed.
Multiple recalls issued, we were informed by Cochran Nissan there were “no fixes for the these recalls.” Yet this vehicle left us stranded along highways and busy roadways on numerous occasions. Leaving us in unsafe places while waiting for the vehicle to be towed. Each time multiple warning lights were illuminated and the car lost power. The final repair involved engine replacement and other extensive repairs. Only to have the engine leak oil less than a week after these extensive repairs. When the dealership could not fix the vehicle or determine the cause, h why blamed us and claimed the warranty was voided. Months of ongoing issues, repeated visits and incorrect diagnoses caused entirely by improper and inadequate repair attempts. Despite bringing the vehicle in multiple times, the repair issues were never properly resolved. Instead, the dealership repeatedly placed temporary fixes on the problem, each time making the situation worse. The technicians failed to identify or repair the root cause of the issues, resulting in additional damage and subsequent repairs that should have been covered under warranty. Instead of acknowledging these ongoing failures, the dealership blamed us for the damage and claimed that the warranty had been voided—an accusation that is both unacceptable and inaccurate given that the damage stemmed directly from their own missed diagnoses and improper repairs. Because of the dealership’s unprofessional conduct, lack of accountability, and sub-par workmanship, we ultimately no longer have the vehicle. This situation has caused significant stress, financial loss, and inconvenience to our family.
On two separate occasions, my 2023 Nissan Rogue has experienced major loss of power while driving 80 mph. The first time, all of the dash lights were blinking and there was an awful noise coming from the engine. I could not drive over 10 mph. The vehicle had to be towed 200 miles to the nearest Nissan dealer in Billings, MT. They cleared the codes, test drove it and said everything was fine. The second time my vehicle had to be towed. 115 miles from the nearest Nissan dealer. Same issues, except this time there were no dash lights. Prior to all of this happening, my car had an open recall for the 1.5L VC-Turbo engine that my car has. Since the first time this occurred and Nissan "fixed" the problem, there has been no open recall. With the second occurance, Nissan had to replace the Throttle Actuator and Gaskets according to the invoice. Luckily, I had purchased my own extended warranty and that warranty covered $1,104.20 of the $1,204.20 (I paid $100 co-pay). I was charged $715 for towing from Nissan Roadside Assistance. The invoice claims the Nissan found the following diagnostic results: DTC P0507-00 Wwhich is directly linked to a fractured internal gear in the Electric Throttle Control Actuator, the subject of the federal safety agency Recall 26V081 and DTC P0196 which is directly linked to engine oil temperature performance, the precursor to engine bearing seizures addressed in the federal safety agency Recall 26V080. Nissan is currently excluding many 2023 models from the "official" recall list. My car has 67,350 miles on it, but this failure should be covered by Nissan's 10-year/120,000-mile extended powertrain warranty. The parts replaced (throttle actuator and gaskets) and the diagnostic codes are identical to those in the 2026 expanded recall populations. Denying coverage based on an "open recall" statis is a violation of the spirit of the federal safety agency safety mandates for this engine. I am formally requesting/demanding reimbursment from Nissan North America for the $815 that I have been charged.
The car lost power when I got in the vehicle, I had to walk to my daughters school to pick her up. I waited for Geico to give me a jump start. When I received a jump start, the system came up malfunctioned, and could not be driven. When I asked Geico, if I should change the battery, he mentioned that the battery is not a problem. I turned off all the lights before parked the evening before. Picture is attached
While driving at 45 MPH with my wife in the front passenger seat, on a two lane road (one way each direction) in Wake Forest NC, no cars were in the front or rear of my vehicle , sunny clear weather, the following happened: Driving normally, then all of a sudden, the car proceeds to, what felt like emergency braking and then a split second, the dashboard signals come on , different symbols, then a red image appears on the dashboard (for a split second) then it brakes hard a second time (within a split second) then everything clears and the car proceeds to drive normally. The braking action felt like a severe brake pulsing, then a split second release and then another spilt second brake pulsing and then everything cleared and the car continued to drive normally. The braking was so severe, my wife and I lurched forward towards the windshield, held back by our seat belts. The braking occurred suddenly with nothing near the vehicle. The emergency braking came in the first pulse, then followed by a extremely brief release(split second) then another quick emergency braking action(split second), then multiple lights and warnings quickly appeared on the dash board ending with a split second red symbol (so brief i could not determine any of the warnings or lights). Then the car drove normally after that. If any vehicle had been behind us, a rear accident collision could have taken place. This happened on Saturday, February 14th at approximately 2:30pm on Forestville Road, in Wake Forest, NC. This was an extremely dangerous situation. As this is now a Sunday, the Nissan dealer will be contacted tomorrow and arrangements will be made to bring the vehicle in for an inspection ASAP. I feel the vehicle is unsafe to drive at this point in time.
Vehicle Safety Defect Report I am submitting this vehicle safety defect report regarding a serious and dangerous failure in a 2021 Nissan Rogue. The vehicle experienced complete electronic shutdowns while driving on the highway. During the most severe incidents, on December 19, 2025 and again on January 14, 2026, the vehicle activated the automatic emergency braking system without external cause, shifted into PARK, and shut down completely, leaving the vehicle immobilized in live interstate traffic during heavy rain. The dashboard displayed multiple simultaneous warnings (engine, battery, collision sensors). A repair facility later diagnosed corrosion in the Transmission Control Module (TCM). The module was not replaced, only cleaned, and the failure recurred. This defect presents an extreme risk of collision, serious injury, or death. A vehicle that shuts down and electronically locks while in motion is unsafe to operate. I respectfully request that the federal safety agency investigate this electronic defect affecting critical safety and control systems. Videos, dashboard images, repair records, and documented evidence are attached. While driving on an interstate highway during heavy rain, my 2021 Nissan Rogue experienced a complete electronic shutdown. Multiple warning lights appeared simultaneously, the automatic emergency braking system activated without cause, and the vehicle suddenly shifted into PARK and shut off, leaving me immobilized in live traffic. This occurred on December 19, 2025, and the same failure happened again on January 14, 2026. The vehicle could not be moved and required towing. A repair facility diagnosed corrosion in the Transmission Control Module (TCM). The module was only cleaned, not replaced, and the failure recurred. This defect creates a severe risk of collision, serious injury, or death. I narrowly avoided being struck by a truck. I am no longer able to safely operate this vehicle.
