2022 Nissan Rogue — Known Issues & Recalls

Your 2022 Nissan Rogue experienced a sudden engine failure just weeks after Nissan completed a recall repair for a potential engine bearing defect. The dealer found the engine ran without oil and suffered catastrophic internal damage, requiring replacement of the engine block, turbo, and catalytic converter at a cost exceeding $10,000. The failure appears related to the same defect the recall was meant to address, suggesting the repair may not have fully resolved the underlying problem.

Your 2022 Nissan Rogue began sputtering while driving, then the engine died and wouldn't restart. You lost power steering and brakes during this incident, which created a safety hazard. The Nissan dealer identified a faulty EGR valve as the likely cause and noted possible severe engine damage. Fixing this will require replacing the EGR valve and inspecting the engine for any damage caused by the failure.

Your engine suddenly stopped working while you were driving due to coolant leaking out and a blown head gasket. The dealership refused to cover the repair under warranty. This unexpected engine failure created a safety risk because you lost power while on the road.

While driving on the freeway, your car required more gas pedal pressure than normal. As you pressed harder on the accelerator heading toward an exit ramp, white smoke began coming from the exhaust and entering the passenger compartment, then the engine lost all power without warning. Your car also wouldn't shift into neutral, preventing you from pushing it to safety while traffic accumulated behind you.

Your engine failed twice—once in 2024 causing loss of power and acceleration on the highway, and again in 2025 when the car lost power while driving on the interstate, both creating dangerous situations. Nissan replaced your entire engine, turbo, EGR valve, EGR sensor, and catalytic converters across two separate repairs, but has refused to cover costs under the engine recall, saying the repairs aren't related to the recall. The repair will likely require professional engine diagnostics, replacement of the EGR system components, and catalytic converter service.

While driving on the highway, your engine suddenly lost all power and stopped running, though it didn't completely shut off. You barely managed to pull over to the side of the road before a semi-truck nearly hit you. The engine stalling without warning while at highway speed created a dangerous situation.

Your engine is losing power unexpectedly while driving, limiting your speed to around 30-40 mph even when you press the accelerator fully. This happens on and off and is getting worse, and you've also noticed an oil smell after driving. The dealer has tried multiple repairs but hasn't found the root cause, with different mechanics suggesting problems in the EGR system, sensors, or turbocharger. A mechanic will need to diagnose and repair the faulty component causing the power loss, which could involve replacing sensors, cleaning the EGR system, or servicing the turbocharger.

Your 2022 Nissan Rogue's engine makes a knocking noise and vibrates at idle, during acceleration, and when the engine is warm, a problem that started around 30,000 miles and has gotten worse over time. The dealer found that the variable compression ratio actuator—a component that adjusts how the engine compresses fuel—is making the noise, and this problem persists even after a related recall was completed. You're concerned that the continued knocking and vibration could indicate damage to internal engine bearings, which might eventually cause the engine to lose power or seize while you're driving. Fixing this issue will likely require replacing or repairing the variable compression ratio actuator.

While driving your 2022 Nissan Rogue from Phoenix to Flagstaff, multiple "Malfunction, See Owner's Manual" warning lights appeared on the dashboard, and the turbocharger lost boost pressure, causing the engine to become nearly powerless. A diagnostic scan at a tire shop cleared the warning codes and the engine began working normally again. You're concerned this could happen again on future drives.

Your 2022 Rogue has an open recall for an engine problem that Nissan has officially notified you about. However, when you took it to the dealership for service, they told you that Nissan hasn't yet provided them with a repair procedure, so they couldn't fix it. Your car remains unrepaired while you continue to drive it. You'll need to contact Nissan to find out when the fix becomes available or to get an update on the recall status.

While driving at 55 MPH, your 2022 Nissan Rogue suddenly entered limp mode and slowed to about 10 MPH with an "Engine Malfunction" warning. After pulling over and restarting, the engine wouldn't respond to the accelerator. The dealer found that your camshaft and three other engine parts around it had failed at 84,000 miles. The manufacturer offered to cover 70% of the repair cost. Fixing this will likely require replacing the failed camshaft and related engine components.

While driving at 65 MPH, your vehicle suddenly lost power and couldn't go faster than 25-30 MPH afterward, with the check engine light coming on. A dealer replaced the turbocharger hose and performed an oil change, which resolved the issue under a recall campaign. The fix involved replacing the turbocharger hose and performing routine engine maintenance.

Your 2022 Nissan Rogue has experienced three sudden losses of engine power while driving at highway speeds, creating a serious safety risk. The dealership performed a software update to address open recalls but refused to complete the required physical inspection of the oil pan for metal debris, leaving the underlying mechanical problem unresolved. Your engine continues to stall, hesitate, and make unusual noises even after replacing the throttle body, EGR valve, water pump, and engine mounts. Fully resolving this issue will likely require a complete engine inspection, oil pan removal and cleaning, and possibly engine replacement if internal bearing damage is confirmed.

Your Rogue's speed unexpectedly drops from around 75 mph down to 10-15 mph while driving on the highway, creating a serious safety hazard and near-accident situations. This has happened multiple times since May 2025, and the dealership has charged you for repairs related to the engine even though you believe it's connected to a recall. Resolving this will likely require diagnostic testing to identify the root cause in the engine control or transmission system, followed by appropriate repairs or software updates.

Your 2022 Rogue is showing a reduced power warning and the check engine light stays on continuously. You've contacted the Nissan Marietta dealership and Nissan Consumer Affairs multiple times, but the problem hasn't been fixed. The dealership replaced your battery and charged you for it, rather than addressing the engine light issue or handling a potential recall. A mechanic will need to properly diagnose and repair the engine or fuel system problem causing these warning lights.

Your car's dashboard lights are lighting up unexpectedly, and you're experiencing strange noises from the engine along with electrical glitches that cause the engine to stall. When you turn on the air conditioning, you notice a smell of carbon monoxide or gasoline that makes you feel dizzy. A mechanic should inspect your engine, electrical system, and air conditioning for leaks or faults that could be causing these symptoms.

Your car's transmission wouldn't shift into neutral while moving slowly on a car wash conveyor belt, staying in drive or reverse instead. This prevented the vehicle from rolling freely with the conveyor, which could have caused jerking movements, resistance, or unintended acceleration. The issue appears to be a safety feature in the transmission control system that blocks neutral selection during motion, though it's unclear if this is a software issue or design limitation.

While driving at 45 mph, you heard a loud banging noise and discovered that the outer panel of your panoramic moonroof had shattered and exploded outward, though the inner panel stayed intact. No one was injured. The exact cause hasn't been diagnosed yet, but the dealer will need to inspect and replace the damaged moonroof panel.

Your car's camera system has stopped working, and you've been waiting over a year for Nissan to address it. While Nissan issued a recall for this problem, it was limited to rental vehicles, leaving your personally-owned Rogue uncovered even though other owners are experiencing the same failure. Getting this fixed will likely involve Nissan replacing or reprogramming the camera module and its connections.

Your car is displaying a P2DFD diagnostic trouble code related to a previous recall involving the evaporative emissions system. This code indicates an issue with how your vehicle manages fuel vapors, which is a component of your car's emissions control system.
