   The EGR Cooler failed and caused a significant coolant leak into my engine. Causing sudden engine failure while driving. I experienced sudden power loss, loss of throttle control due to the motor being placed in the "safety mode" due to the engine coding, and was only able to drive on the shoulder of the road at ~25MPH, causing traffic disruptions until I was able to safely exit the roadway. I was able to get the vehicle diagnosed by Nissan, it resulted in over $10000 of repairs to fix the damage. The vehicle has less than 80000 miles and is still covered under extended warranty. However, Nissan rejected the repair claim due to it being the EGR cooler that failed.

   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.

   The Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT) system began malfunctioning immediately after service for Recall R25A8 in March. Initial symptoms included severe hesitation, shuddering, and erratic shifting, as well as an occasional CVT light that would turn on and off. I expressed these concerns to the dealership, but the issue was not acted on because they initially could not reproduce or confirm the symptoms during prior visits. Recently, the dealership replicated the issue and confirmed a complete transmission failure requiring a full replacement. The vehicle and failed component are available for inspection upon request. The vehicle is only 4 years old, and research shows this CVT failure is a widespread issue among Nissan vehicles. The sudden loss of acceleration and erratic shifting created a safety hazard during highway merging and navigating busy intersections, placing occupants and surrounding traffic at risk of a rear-end collision.

   The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving 65-75 MPH and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle experienced reduced power and failed to exceed 30-35 MPH. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact pulled over to the side of the road and notified the dealer of the failure by phone. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V437000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where it was diagnosed and DTC: P0012 and P0196 were retrieved, and the contact was advised that the engine was overheating. The contact was informed that the failures associated with the diagnostic trouble codes needed to be fixed prior to the recall repair. The contact declined to pay for the repair. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the cooling system was replaced. The vehicle was then taken to Cannon Nissan Eastern Shore (29788 Frederick Blvd, Daphne, AL 36526), where the contact was informed that the vehicle needed to be diagnosed prior to the recall repair. The contact declined to pay for the diagnostic test because the vehicle had previously been diagnosed with the same trouble codes by the first dealer and O'Reilly Auto Parts. The manufacturer was notified of the failure by phone and informed the contact that the recall did not apply to the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 102,801.

   Incident Summary & Safety Hazard: Nissan North America and its dealership failed to perform a timely safety recall repair (NHTSA 25V-437 / 26V-080), resulting in complete engine failure and sudden loss of power in active traffic. Essential replacement parts are on national backorder, leaving the vehicle inoperable. Timeline: June–Late 2025 (~105k miles): Attempted to get the recall repair at Tom Peacock Nissan 3–4 times. Turned away each time due to lack of parts/remedy. Jan 2026 (~121k miles): Engine lost power and made severe internal noise while driving. Dealer reflashed ECM and used a borescope, claiming a metal piece on a piston was "unrelated to the recall." They refused to inspect the bearings per protocol and demanded $8,000 for repair without a diagnostic breakdown. Sept 2026: Total engine failure while driving; vehicle stalled completely. An independent shop confirmed failure due to progressive bearing wear linked to the recalled defect. Nissan refused coverage because mileage passed 120,000 miles, despite repeated pre-failure recall attempts starting at 105,000 miles. Current Status: Purchased a replacement engine out-of-pocket (Nissan Order #180929 and #181725). Parts are on national backorder with no estimated delivery date. Requested Action: I request NHTSA investigate Nissan's failure to supply timely recall remedies, turning away owners prior to failure, and denying coverage for damages caused by known defective engine bearings.

   ​Summary of Safety Defect & Incident: On August 27, 2026, while driving, the vehicle experienced a sudden and total loss of motive power / engine stall without any prior warning lights, check engine lights, or temperature indicators on the dashboard. This sudden engine stall created an immediate safety hazard in traffic. The vehicle could not be safely restarted and was towed directly to an authorized Nissan dealership. ​Upon dealership evaluation, the service department diagnosed a failed Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system and a blown head gasket, requiring a total engine replacement. ​Context & Recall History: This vehicle was previously serviced by an authorized Nissan dealer in early 2026 for Safety Recall 25V437 / NHTSA campaign concerning 1.5L VC-Turbo engine bearing and thermal failure risks. The recall software remedy was applied at that time. Despite complying with the recall service, the engine suffered catastrophic thermal/mechanical failure at 68,000 miles. ​The occurrence of a complete engine stall without dashboard warning, following a completed recall service, indicates that the software remedy did not prevent severe internal engine failure. The vehicle is currently held at the dealership awaiting resolution from Nissan Consumer Affairs. No crash or injuries occurred, but the risk of collision during sudden loss of power at speed remains severe.

   Nissan rouge was inspected for recall 26V080, engine bearing Failures.  A few months later the engine bearings failed.  My wife was driving the vehicle alone, 5 days after having a pacemaker implanted when the bearings/engine failed. The vehicle would move slowly with fits and starts and randomly shutdown and then have to be restarted.   This was clearly a danger to my wife and other vehicles on the road with her. Luckily a sheriff came along, saw the danger of the situation and escorted my wife home. CLEARLY,  Nissans actions to inspect and reprogram the ECM do not work in preventing this failure.  Nissan must be forced to go back to dropping the oil pan and inspecting it for debris. This cost me $200 in towing fees and stranded us in [XXX] for 2 weeks with a cost that I have yet to calculate. Had the oil pan been inspected we could have avoided the dangerous situation my wife found herself in and it would have been repaired in [XXX] where we live.

   My 2022 Nissan Rogue 1.5L VC-Turbo is experiencing repeated limp-mode/reduced-power events, severe hesitation, poor acceleration, rough/shaking idle, and recurring DTC U0652 after Nissan marked recall 25V-437 complete. The vehicle is available for inspection. Reduced-power symptoms were documented as early as Dec. 2024 and significantly worsened by Oct. 3, 2025 at approximately 100,400 miles, including loss of power at highway speed. I previously reported this condition to NHTSA under Complaint #11696068. The first Nissan dealer (Willis) used a borescope, claimed “sludge,” recommended engine replacement, refused to provide supporting photos/evidence, and did not remove the oil pan. Willis later provided me an oil sample, which I submitted for independent analysis. That analysis showed multiple bearing-associated wear metals without an abnormal viscosity condition explaining the findings, and confirmed the oil pan was had not been checked. A second Nissan dealer was contacted to performed Nissan’s recall screening/software procedure. No engine light could be on upon arrival. Because the intermittent condition did not occur during the brief test, Nissan marked the recall complete. The warning light is now illuminated again and the vehicle is again entering limp mode/reduced power. I contacted Nissan for assistance and was told they would not provide towing or further recall assistance because the recall is listed as complete. I am currently stranded with the same safety condition after Nissan declared the vehicle remedied. My complaint is failed recall remedy/recall effectiveness. Nissan’s screening process classified this vehicle as remedied, but the safety condition continues and appears progressive. Nissan is now using its own “recall complete” status to refuse further action despite recurring loss of power and independent evidence of internal engine wear.

    On June 12, 2026, while driving my 2022 Nissan Rogue on the Grand Central Expressway in New York, the engine suddenly shut down and the vehicle lost motive power in active highway traffic. The vehicle would not restart. I called 911, and police responded and protected the disabled vehicle until it could be towed to safety. I later learned the vehicle was subject to Nissan Safety Recall R25D1 / NHTSA 25V-437 involving engine bearing defects that may cause engine damage and loss of motive power. A Nissan dealer inspected the vehicle and documented that the engine would not turn over. The technician removed the oil pan, found metal debris, and determined the engine was seized. Nissan subsequently replaced the engine and turbocharger. After the replacement, I began experiencing additional problems. The vehicle hesitated during acceleration. On August 15, the Check Engine light illuminated with an “Engine Malfunction” warning. The dealer subsequently replaced an exhaust-related sensor. On August 23, the SRS/Air Bag warning light illuminated and remained on before later turning off. The same SRS warning occurred again on August 24, and the vehicle also failed to start on the first attempt. On August 26, another warning appeared stating “Malfunction – See Owner’s Manual.” Nissan Consumer Affairs advised me that these subsequent problems are unrelated to the engine recall. I am concerned about the continuing safety and reliability problems occurring shortly after the engine and turbo replacement and am requesting that NHTSA document and evaluate these incidents for a potential safety defect.

    My 2022 Nissan Rogue has entered reduced-power/limp mode approximately nine times. The specific component causing the malfunction has not been identified. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. When the malfunction occurs, the vehicle displays a malfunction/reduced-power warning and substantially reduces available engine power. Several occurrences happened during a long-distance trip involving highway, mountain, and desert driving. The unexpected reduction in power creates a safety concern during highway travel, merging, passing, climbing grades, or travel in remote areas. The problem is intermittent and has not been successfully reproduced by an authorized Nissan dealership. I presented the vehicle to a Nissan dealer and reported the repeated events while the vehicle had approximately 56,500 miles and remained below Nissan's 60,000-mile powertrain warranty mileage limit. The dealership advised that it could not diagnose the problem unless the malfunction occurs again with an active diagnostic code. I have also reported the problem to Nissan Consumer Affairs. The underlying cause remains unidentified and the vehicle has not been repaired for this condition. Warning messages appear when the malfunction occurs. During the long-distance trip, diagnostic codes were cleared to restore vehicle operation. The vehicle would then operate normally for a period before unexpectedly entering reduced-power mode again. My primary concern is that after approximately nine occurrences, I still have no diagnosis or assurance that the condition will not recur during highway operation or another situation where maintaining vehicle power is necessary for safe operation.

    Engine failure, known issue per Nissan service employees, second and third combustion cylinders fill with anti-freeze coolant with no errors or warning lights in vehicle. This was noticed by the temperature gauge climbing during acceleration and falling while at speed. I am told it is a manufacturing defect by the service department but due to the 76,000 miles on the 2022 vehicle it is not covered by Nissan, an $8000 bill for the long block replacement. This needs your attention as in my local dealership there have been 5 instances of this in the last month.

    I was driving when I was pulled over by a police officer for speeding I was going 5 over the speed limit (Speed limit was 65). As the officer approached my vehicle, he noticed flames coming from the engine compartment before I was aware there was any issue. He immediately instructed me to exit the vehicle for my safety. After I got out, the officer attempted to put out the fire with a fire extinguisher, but the flames continued to spread despite his efforts. The fire quickly intensified, causing extensive damage to the vehicle. Emergency responders were called to the scene to extinguish the fire, but by the time the fire was under control, the vehicle had sustained severe fire damage and was no longer operable.

    Driving down the highway on a family road trip the car suddenly flashed all warning lights and goes in to limp mode. We’re on the highway surrounded by cars going 80+ and trying to get to the side. We’re reach an exit and limp to an autozone where they read a code about an EGR system. Car gets towed to the dealer and they’ve determined there is coolant in the oil and the engine needs replaced. There is a recall for engine failure but they say this isn’t related. They can’t say what caused the failure but assured me it wasn’t the engine bearing recall.

    I purchased the vehicle about 4 months ago and I've only driven it maybe 1 month out of 4 due to being in the shop for multiple egr and throttle issues. I am currently sitting with it broke down once again for the same issues for the 3rd time. The engine loses power out of no where while driven and gives a warning that says engine malfunction power reduced and all safety features are then shut down. This leaves my car only traveling no more than 10mph. I was on the interstate!!

    I was driving to work. I noticed what I thought was some gravel dust behind me. I got to a stop light and my car started shaking. No engine or warning lights came on. I shut my car off and started it up again. It was still shaking. When I pulled away from the stop light, I notice there was white smoke coming out my tailpipe. I immediately pulled over and called the dealership I thought it from and a tow truck. I haven’t been given anything official from the dealership, but the service department emailed me this yesterday: “Car was smoking from exhaust, pressure tested coolant system did not hold pressure, inspected cylinders with boar scope found coolant in cylinder 1, coolant saturation ruined the turbo and converter” I have now asked the dealership to do a “Metal Debris Test”

    My Nissan rogue had a PCV valve recall and I'm still getting sick from the car. I've had it at the dealerships and they can't find anything wrong but the car is causing severe migraine headaches, severe neck pain and severe abdominal and pelvic pain. It doesnt always happen and there is no way for me to figure out what is causing It. I put a portable CO2 detector in the car and found nothing. It can happen with air on or off. I can't figure it out but it's making me and my family sick. I called Nissan and they told me to get a docto rs note that the car is making me sick to fbe able to o file a claim. I don't know how to prove the car is causing all the illness.

    On July 15 at approximately 4:30 pm my daughter's 2022 Nissan Rogue stalled while she was making a turn in a busy intersection. She was able to restart it and make it to a safe place to call a tow truck. There were no warning lights on my dashboard. The vehicle had just been serviced less than two weeks prior. The vehicle was towed to the local Nissan dealership. The next day the inspected it and determined it had overheated and coolant was entering the exhaust manifold. The technician noted that the coolant reservoir was very low.
