Verbatim excerpts from NHTSA complaints, by component

Engine

147 reports1 fire
“An authorized Nissan franchise executed an active safety recall campaign on my vehicle regarding coolant loss. Technicians failed to secure critical powertrain components during reassembly. Three days post-delivery, a major engine bolt fell out on the highway and the chassis began vibrating violently. A certified military base auto hobby shop inspection officially grounded the vehicle, finding a broken rear motor mount bracket, unfastened structural bolts, and a completely disconnected transmission/engine hose left by the franchise. This constitutes a severe post-recall safety failure that actively endangered my family on public roads.”

Fuel/propulsion system

47 reports
“The vehicle has experienced repeated sudden loss of engine power and inability to accelerate, accompanied by the dashboard warning “Power Reduced, Engine Malfunction, Service Now.” After seven incidents since 2022, a Nissan dealership performed diagnostics on while the warning remained displayed and informed me that an EGR-related component needed replacement. The exact component and diagnostic findings should be confirmed by the dealership. The vehicle is currently at or has been serviced by the Nissan dealership, and service records and diagnostic findings may be available upon request. 2.my Nissan Rogue SL has suddenly lost power seven times while I was driving, including on highways at approximately 55 mph. During these incidents, the vehicle became unable to accelerate, creating a serious risk of collision with surrounding traffic. The most recent incident occurred on XXX while I was transporting both of my children. My speed dropped to zero, and I had to pull over to avoid a collision. Fortunately, no accident has occurred, but these repeated failures have placed my children, myself, and other motorists at risk. 3.Yes.I kept the vehicle running for…”

“The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V437000 (Engine and Engine Cooling); however, the failure occurred after the recall repair. The contact stated that while his daughter was driving 80 MPH, the engine made a loud knocking sound with the messages, "Engine Stalling - Pull Over and Park Safely" and "Shift to park(P)" were displayed. The contact's daughter pulled over and turned off the vehicle. The vehicle failed to restart after several attempts, with a burning odor inside the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the residence and then to an independent mechanic, who retrieved DTC: P0014, P0017, P0506, P0524; and determined that there were metal shavings inside the oil filter and the engine. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer, who determined that there was severe internal mechanical knocking from low crankshaft, heavy metallic contamination, internal bearing failure, and catastrophic engine wear. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was 159,143.”
