“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.”
“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.

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…”

“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…”
“I was having performance issues and a slow loss of coolant so I took my car up to the dealership to run a diagnostics. It was confirmed to be due to the defect of the engine on my vehicle and all was replaced on Nissan. Now the dealership will not release my car to me after repairs have been completed because they are trying to tell me I am responsible for the diagnostics fee because for some reason they put it in under standard and not recall. And they refuse to change the ticket and resubmit and are unlawfully illegally withholding my vehicle from me until it is paid. I do not have the money to pay for something I am not responsible for and I growing extremely frustrated”

I asked about the recall on the KG bearing. The said the updated the program but my vehicle is now totally clogged and wont drive. There is a refusal to complete the NHTSA Recall No.: 25V437. As Stated in the recall: Description of remedy program: Dealers will inspect the engine oil pan for the presence of specific metal debris. This inspection will be performed free of charge for parts and labor and should take less than one (1.0) hour to complete. • For customers with the 3-cylinder 1.5L VC-Turbo engine, if no debris is detected during the inspection, dealers will replace the oil pan gasket, engine oil, and reprogram the vehicle’s Engine Control Module (ECM). This repair will be performed free of charge for parts and labor and should take less than half of one (0.5) hour to complete. The dealer refuses to drop the oil pan and wants payment for it and the oil! I have spent About $1000 so far on a rental because dealer claims they don't do that either. I need help getting this taking care of. Thank you”
