The Defect: My 2023 Nissan Rogue AWD equipped with 1.5L 3 cylinder VC Turbo engine began making growling,, shaking noises matching the symptoms of known engine main bearing failures as outlined in NHTSA Recall 25V437/26V080 (R25E2). This happened with only about 44,000 miles on my vehicle. I brought it in to Oak Ridge Nissan under the recall on September 22, 2026. . I was expecting them to check the oil pan for any metallic debris or further related problems. The Service mechanic noted: "Reprogram ECM and complete test drive with NO DTC PO524 present. Good Condition R25E20 0.9." The mechanic also noted "Transmission mounts. Just the one vibrating badly possible motor mount also but would need tostart with trans mount." (Which they listed as a $1,146.76 expense.) I was told this is my responsibility but it is not usual for a car with 44,000 to have this kind of problem. I don't feel they inspected this problem in a sufficient professional manner. warning Safety Problem: The car had a engine malfunction when I brought it in. It now reads AWD Malfunction The nature of this engine sound, AWD warning, and "Auto Start/Stop dashboard warning,, and recalled problem render this vehicle unsafe to drive. I have owned three other Nissans over the years and this one is the most problematic - it should not have this kind of problem at such low mileage.
NHTSA complaint 11768261I was standing in my driveway and my back windshield exploded shattering into 1 million pieces. It also broke my windshield wiper. I spent $500 out-of-pocket to get a new window.
NHTSA complaint 11767871The 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.
NHTSA complaint 11767870I parked my car this morning at work and all was normal. I left in my car at lunch time and noted that the rear glass was shattered. No signs of impact to the rear glass, just shattered in to a million pieces. I have vent visors on my car and always leave the side windows cracked to allow air flow and aid in the car's internal temperature during the day. The temperature for today, as noted on the car's temperature gauge, was 78 degrees outside. As the day went on, after the glass shattered, pieces began falling out (as it had to be driven home) and left a hole in the rear of the vehicle. I did report the incident to Security at Wytheville Community College but did not report it to local law enforcement as there was no indication that anything had made impact with the rear glass. I do have video of the rear glass after it was first noticed but I am unable to upload it.
NHTSA complaint 11767858While I was driving the right passenger back window exploded which is made out of soda lime glass. During the incident, I almost lost control of the vehicle and glass got all over me and my husband. We were driving on the highway at a 70mph speed. The explosion caused me to become stunned while driving and I almost recked and caused harm to others due to the window exploding.

NHTSA complaint 11767317I was getting into my 2023 Nissan Rogue on September 26, 2026 and I closed the door same as I always do and next thing I know is my back glass busted out. It sounded like and explosion. I took photos of the back glass right after it happen.
NHTSA complaint 11767308After my vehicle becamr undrivable i took to a Nissan dealership and was told that my vehicleneeds a new engine, turbo and catalytic converter. To this i was shocked and upset! The vehicle has under 75000 milez and since purchasing it(bought w/about 34k,mi) j have maintained routine maintainence, oil chanes etc. At this pt the Dealership is blaming an EGR failure to avoid covering the vehicle under active engine safety recall 26V080 / R25E2, despite the vehicle showing the exact catastrophic failure symptoms outlined by the manufacturer. The vehicle was looked at for this recall, and given a "cleared" status, however , its very suspicious the exact recall is whats damaged w/my vehicle. To my knowledge the dealership hasn't inspected the entire vehicle fir parts covered under the recall but instead wants to say its a standalone issue caused by the EGR ..again very suspicious. The vehicle is currently at the dealership, because ive spoken w/corp Nissan as I feel this is linked to this past recall and they should b responsible for it. My wife and son were in the vehicle and no immediate warnings gave her cause for concern, however, w/a total engine, turbo, cat failure they could of been severally injured. I feel Nissan should replace this and want to make others aware that if theyre involved in the recall a dealership may try to say its a standalone issue caused by the EGR, (& maybe) but they need to provide proof of this and in my case I do not feel this is the case!
NHTSA complaint 11766960We first had breakdown on 6/8/2026 and had towed at our expense due to engine recall, they broke egr valve connector while replaceing engine. They replaced new egr terminal kit at this time. Got car back 6/29/2026. On 6/30 started having loud noises and engine shaking brought car in morning of 7/1 they took for test drive the noise wasnt present but the shaking was was told possible trnasmission mount was broken and they would contact me back with no word until car broke down again 7/30 was told to try to drive it to dealer car wouldnt go faster then 5-10mph. Got the car there was told egr valve needed replaced but wasnt covered we had to pay out pocket. Put in complaint with dealer and then consumer affairs that this had to do with original engine failure also they broke parts egr system and have had issues ever since. EGR valve and connectors and kit have been replaced several times since 6/8/2026 which I have all service information and I also opened a claim in the beginning and they did not help me or want any of the info I have and have broken down several times. The car has been returned 6 times but only kept 5 times and repaired this will be the fifth time being repaired for same EGR issues since engine was replaced. And they refused to give me my money back for one tow we paid for 6/8 and we argued that we arent responsible for the EGR valve they replaced since this has to do with engine recall and them breaking sone parts they broke with install. This has caused serious safety issues as everytime the care breaks down we are on hwy going at speed and car turns off and engine malfunction light turns on everytime.
NHTSA complaint 11766916When going over a smooth surface the AWD would trigger the right rear brake and cause the caliper to hang. Over time I started getting warning indicators on the dash that appeared to result in the EPB being reset. When taking the car in, it was identified that there was uneven brake wear, the outboard right rear shoe was at 1mm whereas the inboard right rear shoe was still at 8mm. It was determined that the caliper was hanging by the shop.
NHTSA complaint 11766890My 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.
NHTSA complaint 11766838My driver's-side backseat window exploded and shattered into pieces while I was driving. Nothing hit the window, and I was only going 40 mph. It put me and others at risk by exploding while I was operating the vehicle, which could have caused a wreck. The explosion sounded like a gunshot going off in my car, and glass shattered into my back seat and onto me (in the driver's seat). There is a lawsuit out right now about the 2021- 2025 Nissan Rogue rear windshield randomly exploding. No other warning labels appeared before the incident. My car was parked in the shade under a tree all day, so it was not due to a change in temperature. I had been driving the car for around 30 minutes consecutively when the window shattered.

The contact was informed that the engine was faulty and there was sludge built up in the engine. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The manufacturer was notified of the failure.

NHTSA complaint 11765974I was driving at soscol Ave Napa 94558 CA when engine warning came out and vehicle power reduced to less than 40MPH on 55mph road. Component failure was engine. My safety and others may or may not be at risk but the road was 55mph and the vehicle went on LIMP mode. Problems were raised to Napa Nissan Dealership @1:50pm on 09/21/2026 however similar problems are reported with the same vehicle nationwide. Vehicle still in dealership possession and conducting their own inspection as of this writing. Warning lights and messages appears while driving around 6:30AM Napa California Engine malfunction and I think it went to limp mode it’s having a hard time going 30-40MPH. I was on the way to work when it happened this morning around 6:30am @ 50,394 mls the engine malfunction error went off, and the engine sounds were different than usual and power was reduced. Also the driver seats feels not sturdy and squeaking a lot when driving. I have video documenting it and how it’s sounds like.

NHTSA complaint 11765792While on the freeway my 2023 Nissan Rogue all of a sudden would not accelerate. I was able slowly get it to accelerate from 3 mph to 25 mph, I drove it a mile, turned it off and when I turned it back on, it wouldn't start and there was white smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe. I towed my car to the Nissan dealership, they kept it for 40 days and told me they had to replace the engine. A month after I got it back, it stopped accelerating again on the freeway. A year later the transmission failed and had to be replaced.
NHTSA complaint 11765698While driving on a major public highway, the vehicle suffered a sudden, catastrophic loss of motive propulsion, dropping immediately into a dangerous transmission limp mode. The dashboard displayed a critical error message stating 'Service CVT Power Reduced' alongside a Check Engine Light. The vehicle became an immediate stationary traffic hazard in a live highway lane, completely unable to accelerate or move safely out of the way of oncoming high-speed traffic. The hazard was severe enough to require an emergency safety response from the Gwinnett County Police Department (Case #PD262540884) to secure the scene and protect the disabled vehicle until a flatbed tow truck could remove it. A subsequent diagnostic scan by a certified corporate dealer (Premier Nissan) confirmed complete internal transaxle failure, throwing diagnostic trouble codes P0741-00 (Torque Converter), P0746-00, and P187E-09.
NHTSA complaint 11765587I own a 2023 Nissan Rogue Platinum, VIN [XXX], purchased XXX. Nissan’s VIN-specific records show an engine-bearing campaign was OPEN on the sale date. The vehicle was sold as Nissan Certified Pre-Owned, and the XXX CPO inspection paperwork marked the open-campaign requirement as PASS, creating a conflict with the VIN-specific campaign history. On XXX Nissan Consumer Affairs Case XXX confirmed in writing that this VIN is included in KR ENGINE BEARING (RC-XXX) and directed me to schedule free campaign repairs. The underlying engine-bearing safety issue can lead to engine damage or failure and increase the risk of a crash. I am reporting this so NHTSA has a record that this VIN had an open engine-bearing campaign at the time of sale, despite the CPO campaign item being marked PASS, and because I received conflicting campaign-status information concerning this VIN. I request confirmation through the appropriate recall process that all required safety-recall/campaign inspection and repair work for this VIN is completed and accurately reflected in the manufacturer’s records.

NHTSA complaint 11765425September 15, 2026. Driving and car engine was sluggish and car wouldn't move. Red oil light came on. Managed to get the car to a parking spot and let the car cool off. Checked the oil and it was low, so put more oil in. Will follow up with mechanic but can't understand why I've not gotten a recall notice when there have been MANY of these same complaints!! Now I am afraid to drive the car! 2023 Nissan Rogue SV.
