“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 Lexington, South Carolina. 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 Lexington, South Carolina, 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…”
“On a Friday heading to work, my 2024 Nissan Rogue experienced a sudden and violent stall while I was attempting to accelerate in traffic, creating an immediate safety hazard. The vehicle instantly entered a severe limp mode. The dashboard flashed an engine malfunction warning and blocked all acceleration inputs. The engine would turn on and idle, but the second I pressed the gas pedal the vehicle would shut off completely. I had a mobile mechanic come out to do a diagnostic scan after i had the car towed home. The diagnostic scan retrieved only electronic throttle control codes P2101 and P2119. There was absolutely no antifreeze or smoke coming out of the tailpipe at the time of the mechanical failure when my vehicle broke down. The vehicle became completely undrivable due to the electronic throttle body failing in motion, which matches open safety recall defects for this model year. Nissan Consumers Affairs is currently refusing to cover the repair under the factory recall safety campaigns.”
“On October 3rd while driving at approximately 60 MPH in the middle lane of a high-speed highway, the vehicle suffered a sudden, catastrophic engine failure. Without warning, the vehicle dropped into severe "limp mode," completely losing power and ability to maintain highway speeds. This created an immediate, life-threatening safety hazard as I was trapped in a live middle lane of traffic with rapidly decelerating speed. I was forced to navigate across active lanes to reach a breakdown lane near a notoriously dangerous, short-merge entrance ramp exit 38 off of I95 to the Merritt Parkway connector in Connecticut. After shutting the vehicle off and attempting a restart, the vehicle remained severely degraded. To reach physical safety, I had to crawl the vehicle at a dangerous 10 MPH on the highway shoulder to the nearest exit 36 off off of I95 and eventually to the local Nissan dealership service department. The Check Engine Light illuminated during this crisis. After a diagnostic test the mechanic informed me that the engine reached 278 degrees and there was no coolant in the reservoir with no external leak and it smelled .”
“On December 30 2025, at 33,277 miles, I had an engine failure due to a cracked head. I was stranded on the road in 24F temperature outside and the vehicle had to be towed. It lost acceleration power and heat. Several warning messages and lights were on. Eleven weeks later, Nissan replaced the engine. Two weeks later, the catalytic converter went out and had to be replaced. Four months later, in August, the turbo went out and had to be replaced. On October 7 2026, at 46,800 miles, the new engine failed and I was again stranded at 44F temperature outside and the vehicle had to be towed. No warning lights or messages. It lost acceleration power and heat. It is currently at the Nissan dealership awaiting diagnostics. I drive 100 miles a day. I cannot continue driving such an unreliable vehicle and risk being stranded on the road in adverse conditions again.”
“The contact owns a 2024 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 - 40 MPH, the vehicle unexpectedly stalled, with the message "Engine Malfunction - Power Reduced" displayed. Due to the failure, the vehicle failed to accelerate as needed, and the vehicle was coasted and push into a parking lot. The vehicle was towed to a dealer, where it was diagnosed with throttle body failure. The contact was informed that the throttle body needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact believed that the failure was associated with a previous transmission failure and replacement and suggested to the dealer that the failure was associated with the throttle body. The dealer informed the contact that the throttle body had been replaced; however, no paperwork was provided to the contact about the repair. The failure mileage was 63,000.”
“On [XXX], I was driving for about 40 minutes on the highway when my car stopped accelerating and the dashboard said it reduced power and required service. It was towed to Lia Nissan in Schenectady NY where they said it was an electrical recall and that they fixed the problem. Then on [XXX], I was driving on the highway again for about 40 minutes when the same issue occurred. I stopped being able to accelerate and the car went into reduce power mode. It was towed to Country Club Nissan in Oneonta NY where they had my vehicle from 8/7/26 until 9/4/26. They determined it was an oil temperature control valve that needed replacing. On [XXX], on the same spot on the highway, my car stopped accelerating and broke down yet again. It was towed to Country Club Nissan in Oneonta NY again where they replaced the same part they’d previously replaced. Both times, the oil temperature in my car was overheated. Now I’m unable to drive it on the highway for fear it will happen for a 4th time.”
