On June 12, 2026, while driving my 2022 Nissan Rogue on the Grand Central Expressway in New York, the engine suddenly shut down and the vehicle lost motive power in active highway traffic. The vehicle would not restart. I called 911, and police responded and protected the disabled vehicle until it could be towed to safety. I later learned the vehicle was subject to Nissan Safety Recall R25D1 / NHTSA 25V-437 involving engine bearing defects that may cause engine damage and loss of motive power. A Nissan dealer inspected the vehicle and documented that the engine would not turn over. The technician removed the oil pan, found metal debris, and determined the engine was seized. Nissan subsequently replaced the engine and turbocharger. After the replacement, I began experiencing additional problems. The vehicle hesitated during acceleration. On August 15, the Check Engine light illuminated with an “Engine Malfunction” warning. The dealer subsequently replaced an exhaust-related sensor. On August 23, the SRS/Air Bag warning light illuminated and remained on before later turning off. The same SRS warning occurred again on August 24, and the vehicle also failed to start on the first attempt. On August 26, another warning appeared stating “Malfunction – See Owner’s Manual.” Nissan Consumer Affairs advised me that these subsequent problems are unrelated to the engine recall. I am concerned about the continuing safety and reliability problems occurring shortly after the engine and turbo replacement and am requesting that NHTSA document and evaluate these incidents for a potential safety defect.

I was driving on the interstate going 70-80 mph and my car would not accelerate and I got a bunch of yellow error codes. I pulled over and shut it off and restarted. I drove it straight to the nearest Nissan dealership. In that time driving to the dealership my car barely would go over 60 mph and the RPM's would go high then low. The dealership looked it over later in the day and called me and said that 'nothing is wrong with it.' No error codes. No problems. They drove it 30 miles. I am not satisfied with this. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY issue and I am scared to drive again knowing I may not be able to accelerate on the interstate. I took a picture of my dashboard and errors that showed when I was pulled over and I gave this to the dealership. They still said nothing was wrong. I got a second CVT error that I do not have a picture of that one. I opened a case with Nissan directly. I am waiting to hear back from them. (Filed case on XXX case # XXX- [XXX], CS representative). I will have additional files to share once I pick up my car but right now I am scared to drive it. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

UNKNOWN: ASSESSMENT - On April 2nd early morning around 5 am, I left Kaaawa, HI zip code 96730 and headed to Kaneohe, zip code 96744. When I left home the temperature was around 67degree F and there was a light rain. About 15 minutes later at the Hygenic Store, the temperature dropped to around 64. The front windshield began to fog; I turned on the window defrost vent set at 70degree. I heard a lot pop/crack coming from the passenger side, lower frame area of the windshield. When I glanced, I did not see anything at the time. When this happened, there were no other cars in front of me. Later at home, I checked again, did not see anything. Two days later, I got into the car and there was a crack from the lower frame moving up the glass about 7 inches. As the days went by the crack got longer. I did not see a point of impact. As far as I could tell, the crack started from the frame. Unfortunately, I did not take any photos. I contacted Patrick at windward nissan dealership parts department directly (his personal cell phone); he told me to utilize Ace auto glass. There was no inspection by dealership or insurance. Utilized Safelite for replacement. There was no warning of any failure by cars system.

I am reporting a safety defect involving my 2022 Nissan Rogue related to NHTSA Recall 25V437 (engine bearing failure). Prior to complete engine failure, I experienced multiple instances of sudden loss of power while driving at highway speeds, creating a serious safety hazard. In one instance, this nearly resulted in a multi-vehicle accident in heavy traffic. The vehicle also exhibited additional symptoms consistent with the recall, including engine shaking, knocking noises, rough riding and hard shifting, burning smell, and warning lights. Nissan performed the recall service, which consisted of reprogramming the Engine Control Module (ECM). However, this software update did not repair or replace the defective engine components. The vehicle’s condition worsened after the recall service. The engine ultimately failed completely at approximately 122,000 miles, shortly after the recall repair was completed. This indicates that the recall remedy is ineffective and does not adequately address the safety risk, as a software update cannot prevent or correct pre-existing mechanical failure of engine bearings. I am concerned that other vehicles with this defect remain at risk of sudden power loss and potential crashes despite having the recall performed.

Incident Summary: On February 14, 2026, at an automatic conveyor car wash, my Nissan vehicle would not shift into neutral while in motion on the conveyor belt. It stayed in drive/reverse, creating a hazard as it could resist conveyor movement or cause unintended acceleration/reverse. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Transmission shifter/gear selection system (likely electronic shift-by-wire or CVT controls) prevented shift to neutral while vehicle was in low-speed motion. This seems due to a software safety interlock blocking neutral during movement, similar to reported Nissan issues (e.g., Rogue/Pathfinder/Ariya models requiring hold procedures or "neutral hold mode"). Vehicle available for inspection and in my possession, Knoxville TN). How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Inability to shift to neutral prevented free rolling on conveyor, risking resistance, jerky movement, hopping off track, collision with mechanism/other vehicles, or rear-end incidents. Hazard to me (driver) and car wash attendants/customers. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? UNKNOWN — Incident today; not yet diagnosed/reproduced at dealer. Similar owner complaints noted in forums (difficulty shifting to neutral at car washes due to safety features). Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? UNKNOWN — No inspections yet by Nissan, police (no crash), insurance, or others. No damage occurred. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No warning lamps, messages, noises, or symptoms prior. Shifter worked normally idle (shifted to neutral after initial exit), but failed again in motion—likely motion-related interlock.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED UNUSUAL ENGINE NOISES, ROUGH ENGINE PERFORMANCE, ILLUMINATION OF THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT (MIL), AND WARNING MESSAGES DISPLAYED IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE ENGINE HAS FAILED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, RESULTING IN A LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER TWICE, ONCE ON THE HIGHWAY. I have been to the dealership mechanic 3 times with this issue, the first occurred prior to the recall coming out. The Last time I was told to pay for a diagnostic or they would not be able to help me; I paid and was told they could not find anything relevant to my issue. I was just told that there was no further information occurring from this recall. I feel as if the car is almost undrivable. It is definitely unsafe and unreliable. And a car constantly revs at 6000 RPM's prior to switching gears if it switches gears. At this point I don't know what to do and regret buying a Nissan as they won't even help.

While driving, multiple warning lights appeared on the dashboard, including the check engine light, malfunction indicator, and crash sensor warnings. A message then displayed: “ENGINE MALFUNCTION POWER REDUCED SERVICE NOW.” The engine began making loud knocking noises, lost power, and the vehicle entered reduced-power mode. The issue appears to be related to the ongoing engine bearing failure recall (R25A8 / 25V-437) affecting Nissan vehicles with VC-Turbo engines. Because of these symptoms and the risk of complete engine failure or loss of motive power, the vehicle became unsafe to drive and was parked. The problem poses a serious safety risk, as the loss of power occurred suddenly while the vehicle was in motion, which could cause an accident if it happens in traffic. The problem has not yet been repaired because the manufacturer has not released the full recall remedy. I called the Nissan Dealership in Greeneville TN, at 8:53 AM EST on 11/08/2025 the vehicle is currently parked at my residence. I was advised by the dealership to call back on Monday morning to schedule an inspection at a Nissan dealership. Warning lights and the “Engine Malfunction Power Reduced” message first appeared shortly before the loud knocking began and power loss occurred on the vehicle.

I took my Rogue to the dealership at City Limits Nissan on Monday 10/6/25 as it had power issues and the engine light came on stating 'Engine Malfunction Power reduce Service now' I then called NHTSA and filed a complaint about a recall for my Nissan Rogue that Nissan has yet to have a remedy. I got the car back on Tuesday afternoon 10/7/25 and they said it did not have to do with the recall. I drove the car straight home. I went to work the next morning and as I was pulling into a parking spot in parking garage, all of the sudden, I was crashed into the wall at a high rate of speed. I am extremely concerned that this may have been a malfunction with the Nissan Rogue as this occurred less then 24 hours after it was serviced. My car was totaled and the damage looks like it hit at 30 mph or more which is extremely alarming as I was slowing coming into the parking spot. I don't know exactly what happened however if there have been any issues with Nissans and sudden acceleration, I feel this needs to be investigated. My Rogue is a 2022 and had to have the engine replaced in early 2024. Nissan could not give any explanation as to why. My car has been taken to a salvage yard and I am concerned that if there was and issue, any evidence of an issued could be destroyed. Had there not been heavy duty cables, I could have gone further through the parking garage wall and fallen 3 stories.

My engine light came on and I almost immediately lost power. This car is only 3 years old with about 87k miles. I was on the highway going over 70mph when this happened. The dealer says the coolant system failed which allowed coolant to get into the engine. Either way...engine failure, which Nissan has not currently honoring their extended warranty offered on this model for the repair. There were no indicator lights, temp warnings, radiator overheating/low antifreeze, nothing. Not until the engine light came on and I immediately had to pull over. Usually I would get an email from Nissan if their systems picked up an issue, but I received nothing until my car was being towed.

There is a weird sound that comes on after a few minutes of starting the car that appears to come from under the hood on the right side. The touchscreen will go black and then just pop back up. Apple car play stopped working after the screen went black. The traction control light randomly pops up. There are times when the car is in motion and it feels like it wants to stall but just lags then resumes as normal. I took the car in for it's routine oil change and regular check up to the dealership where I purchased the car and was informed upon their completion that a oil pressure warning light came on. The mechanics informed me that I'll need to take it to the Nissan dealership to address this issue due to the warranty as well as the other engine recall. I contacted the dealership to get this scheduled. The Nissan dealership informed me that they will not be addressing the recall issue that I received in the mail. I then asked what happens if the car blows up then and was informed that, that shouldn't happen and if it does well then I guess you'll have a case. I informed him that it has been doing weird things and making a weird sound under the hood. He stated that he would call me back regarding my concerns but he didn't.

While driving on the interstate at normal highway speed, the sunroof of my 2022 Nissan Rogue SV AWD suddenly shattered and exploded without any warning or visible impact. The noise was extremely loud. The weather was clear, and there were no vehicles or objects nearby that could have caused the breakage. It was extremely scary. This was a completely spontaneous failure, and I am very concerned about the safety implications, especially if the interior sunroof cover had been open. I’m researching and found similar complaints about Nissan vehicles and sunroofs suddenly shattering for no reason. This incident needs to be investigated for possible defects in the sunroof glass or design. I have photo evidence and can provide additional details upon request. The vehicle has not yet been inspected.

I purchased my 22 Rogue Feb 22 brand new. First Issue: January 2023(2600 miles), engine oil drain pan had to be replaced. Apparently, it broke during oil change at dealership. I've heard others complain about the same thing. Second issue, 6500 miles (June 2024): *suv begun driving weird. While driving the vehicle jerks, shudders, and acts like it is going to lose power. Losing power / shuddering while driving can be a danger to myself or others driving around me if suv unexpectedly reduces in speed. This happens during both high and low speeds. *Suv also stalls when trying to accelerate from a complete stop. Not sure if this was related to the software update (recall) I done at the dealership June 24, but issue 2 started immediately afterwards. Suv was taken to dealership when I started experiencing issue 2. Dealership had vehicle for 2 weeks, but return vehicle and said nothing was wrong. They said the Nissan Engineer that came out found no issues as well. They did mention the Turbo lagging, but sd that's normal. Fast forward, 6 weeks later (Aug 24), returned suv to dealership because performance is worse AND now engine light is on. Dealership advised light is bcz fuel pump needs to be replaced, but stated different than the current fuel pump recall on some 22 Rogues. How is this possible? Based on my mileage, my car is still nearly brand new. Vehicle is at dealership now pending repairs.

The problem started 3 months after purchase. It has a very loud noise that comes from the engine i think. It has been inspected by two different dealerships. Both insisted the noise was normal. After going more than 10 times to the dealership where i purchased my Rogue, i called nissan directly and open an investigation. Nissan sent an engineer and he said that the noise was weird but he didnt know what was going on. He also said that he was going to see if he could get me a discount for a new car. But nissan said no. I have a case number with nissan in case this is needed. This has been an issue that has been going on for two years now. Two years!! Then last month or so the check engine has been turning on and off. Today I went to make the inspection and the Rogue did not pass. And they told me the engine has fuel. After going to the inspection place the suv stopped working. It did not start. Had to call the dealership and I talked to person that has been checking the suv for the last two years and he said to take it to them. And I had to tow my Rogue to the dealership. It has been a very stressful experience and no one seems to care about this issue. My health and my safety is on the line. I don’t know what else to do or who to talk to. I hope you guys help. Thank you.

Oil pan and plug. Of the last 3 oil changes we are on our 2nd replacement for the oil pan & plug. So 2 of the 3 times they had to be replaced. Ridiculous! Never had this problem in 40 years of driving all kinds of vehicles.

I first experienced an issue with my Rogue in late December 2023 with the heat going out and the fans were producing minimal air through the vents. I brought the car to the dealer January 2nd, 2024. It took a week for Nissan to diagnose the issue as engine related (engine knocking prior to total heat failure, and metal shavings in the oil pan) and another 3 weeks for them to order and install a brand new engine. In May I brought the car back to the dealer because the AC wasn’t working. They fixed that within a week. Didn’t seem to be engine related. Recently I experienced (Friday 6/14/2024) loss of power, whereby my vehicle stalled while driving at 55 mph. No warning lights came on, no alarm bells or signals popped up on my dashboard. As my vehicle began to decline in speed, a note displayed on my dash that stated the engine stalled and pull over safely. I was able to coast the car into a turn lane with my flashers on. The engine then died at full stop. I had to have it towed to the dealer as the vehicle bogged out once it started. Ultimately, it continued to stall out. The dealer notified me today that my engine failed again and that they would have to replace the engine again. I will hear from them again once they determine if they will replace the engine or if they may offer to buy back the car.

We keep our car in an enclosed garage and when parking in the garage there is a large build up of gas/exhaust smell. The smell is sickening and enters the house whenever we open the entry door. We bought the car in September 2022 and brought it to the dealership in January 2023 where they verified the problem but didn’t have any solution. We received a letter from Nissan (NT/23-025) acknowledging the problem. The did nothing nor communicated we us so we brought it back in on January 2024 and they ordered parts and serviced on Feb 21/24. Back in to dealership on Mar 4,2024; April 3, 2024; April 5, 2024. Then May 8, 2024 Nissan engineers investigated and replaced another part. Still have odor problem.

There is an ongoing problem with a fuel (gasoline) odor in the cabin. This most commonly occurs in a warm start situation, ie the car has sat for 15 minutes to an hour after driving. When the car starts there is a strong gas smell which does not dissipate for anywhere from 10 minutes up to 45 minutes. Strangely this seems worse when the vehicle has backed up prior to shutting down. This does not seem to be a problem when cold (sitting overnight or for 4 or more hours) at this point. I am concerned that this may result in a fire and the obvious issues regarding health concerns related to breathing gas vapor. The dealer says they are aware of the problem but they are unable to resolve it at this point.

The front sunroof on a 2022 Nissan Rogue Platinum blew out while traveling on highway at normal speed. There were no warnings. The car dealership has ordered replacement parts to repair the sunroof glass. They said they had not heard of this and tried to blame it on a rock but the remaining glass is at an upward tilt. It was taped that day.
