“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.”
“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.

“While driving my 2023 Nissan Rogue at highway speeds, the vehicle suffered a sudden, catastrophic loss of motive power without warning. The engine completely failed and would not restart, leaving me stranded on a live highway and nearly causing a major multi-vehicle accident. The vehicle had to be towed directly from the highway to a Nissan dealership. This failure is directly related to NHTSA Campaign Number 26V-080 (Nissan Recall R25E2) for engine bearing failure and lubrication degradation. The sudden loss of acceleration at high speed created an immediate and extreme crash hazard."”
“The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while his wife was pulling into a parking space at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle unexpectedly accelerated and crashed into a brick wall. The front end of vehicle was damaged. The vehicle was towed. The contact's wife had soreness to the body and was managing the soreness with painkillers. The wife was eventually taken to the doctor for X-rays. A Police report was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.”

“My engine light randomly came on with a bunch of other things and my car lost power in acceleration and can barely maintain a speed of 50 mph. Code P0196 popped up and I wanna know if it’s the sensor or the water valve. We brought the car in 3 times to a Nissan dealership and they still haven’t fixed it.”
