Engine and engine cooling: hard parts internal

Free remedy

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2023-2025 Rogue vehicles equipped with 3-cylinder 1.5L variable compression turbo (VC-Turbo) engines. Increased temperatures can break down the engine oil, which may cause the engine bearings to seize and become damaged, leading to engine failure.

Verbatim excerpts from NHTSA complaints, by component

Visibility/wiper

50 reports
“After multiple issues with the motor of my new Rogue, my windshield spontaneously shattered this week. I'm glad I was not driving the vehicle when it occurred because apparently it sounded like a shotgun when it ruptured. This is a major issue apparently for many Rogue owners. My concern is what else might be wrong with the vehicle - not a safe vehicle for sure. If you're a mom and driving with little kiddos - please find a safer vehicle! Nissan is repairing the windshield and is trying to offer to trade the vehicle - which is a sign that they are aware of this problem among Rogues.”

Visibility

37 reports
“The contact owns a 2025 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that after driving to work and parking the vehicle, several hours later, the contact entered the vehicle, closed the door, and heard a glass shattering sound coming from the rear of the vehicle. The contact inspected the vehicle and discovered that the rear hatch glass had shattered. The contact later obtained video footage showing that the rear hatch glass had shattered without impact. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 27,000.”

“The front and back collision warning system lights are on indicating that they are not working, this is a Nissan 2025 rouge sv, they turned on when accelerating from stop and now I have lost my turbo pressure (won't go over 0), and when in park it revs up and down without my input. ACCELERATING FROM STOP TURNS CAR INTO LIMP MODE”
