2023 Nissan Rogue — Known Issues & Recalls

After getting an oil change, your check engine light came on and stayed on. Shortly after, a blinking idling warning appeared indicating a system problem. A Nissan dealership inspection found that a piston in your engine is damaged, which could lead to engine failure while driving.

Your 2023 Nissan Rogue's engine isn't running properly even after spending 8 months at the dealership for warranty repairs. The issue remains unresolved, which could cause a loss of power while you're driving—creating a serious safety risk. Getting the engine fully diagnosed and repaired to restore normal operation will be necessary.

Your vehicle shows a recall in the system, but your Nissan dealer says Nissan told them there's no actual recall on your car. The dealership ran tests and found no issues, but the recall keeps appearing in their system, leaving you uncertain about your vehicle's safety. This disconnect between what the system shows and what the manufacturer claims is understandably frustrating. Resolving this will likely require Nissan to clarify the recall status directly with you or the dealer in writing.

Your 2023 Nissan Rogue is subject to a recall involving wear in the CVT transmission bearing, which can cause metal particles to circulate through the engine. You may notice your engine running roughly or experiencing vibration. The dealership inspected your vehicle but did not confirm the defect. This issue may require transmission fluid flushing and potentially internal transmission or engine component replacement.

While operating my 2023 Nissan Rogue, the panoramic sunroof exploded outward without any external impact. The incident occurred under normal driving conditions with no debris strike, collision, or environmental hazard.

Your rear window unexpectedly shattered while you were driving at low speed, just one month after purchasing your 2023 Rogue. The dealership told you this isn't covered under warranty and acknowledged they've heard of this issue happening before, despite Nissan not issuing a recall. Fixing this will likely require replacing the entire rear window assembly.

Your 2023 Nissan Rogue is showing rust on the roof panel at just 25,000 miles, which is unusually early for a new vehicle. The rust appears to be developing under or through the paint, suggesting a possible problem with the factory paint or corrosion protection. Nissan's warranty claim for this issue was denied without a clear explanation. Repairing this will likely involve having the dealership inspect the roof panel, possibly sand and repaint the affected area, and apply additional corrosion protection.

Your back windshield shattered unexpectedly while your vehicle was parked or in normal use, with no collision or impact involved. This could indicate a manufacturing defect or stress fracture in the glass. The windshield will need to be replaced.

Your car lost power while driving on the interstate without any warning lights, requiring a tow to the dealership. After the first repair attempt ($3,722), your car started smoking immediately and lost power again the same day. The dealership has now had your car for 40 days, initially saying it needed an EGR cooling system replacement, then an EGR sensor, and now mentioning motor mounts — but you haven't received updates despite multiple calls. A fix will likely involve replacing the EGR cooling system, EGR sensor, and possibly motor mounts, though the root cause of the initial power loss remains unclear.

Your engine malfunction warning light keeps coming back on even after multiple repair attempts at the dealership, and your transmission warning light has also appeared. Your car is unpredictably reducing speed to below 10 mph while driving, which creates a serious safety risk, especially on highways where sudden speed loss could cause accidents with other vehicles. The dealership has attempted multiple fixes over several weeks without resolving the issue. This will likely require diagnostic scanning and possible engine or transmission control module replacement or reprogramming.

Your check engine light is coming on and the car is showing signs of misfiring. You may also see a CVT (transmission) warning light indicating the engine may reduce power and operate in a reduced-capability mode. This suggests an issue with how the engine is running that's affecting the transmission system.

Your check engine light came on, and a mechanic found a turbo charger fault code. When the dealer checked it, they found no error codes initially, but the light returned two weeks later. The dealer discovered your cylinder head had failed and coolant was leaking into the turbo charger and catalytic converter, requiring a full engine replacement. Your vehicle was part of a recall campaign, but the dealer said it didn't qualify because your car hadn't triggered a specific oil pressure warning code, though the manufacturer eventually offered a goodwill repair that wasn't completed. The repair will likely involve removing and replacing the entire engine due to the cylinder head failure.

The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, engine oil sprayed all over the engine. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who replaced the engine under NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V437000 (Engine and Engine Cooling); however, the failure recurred two days later, resulting in a loss of drive power while driving.

The contact owns a 2025 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal banging sound coming from the vehicle. In addition, the vehicle jerked back and forth and was shaking abnormally.

Your 2023 Nissan Rogue has experienced sudden loss of engine power twice while driving at highway speeds, forcing two separate tows to distant Nissan dealers. Both times the engine made loud noises and the vehicle could only crawl at speeds under 10 mph; the second incident required replacement of the throttle actuator and gaskets due to internal gear fracture and oil temperature issues linked to open NHTSA recalls. The fix involved replacing the faulty throttle actuator assembly and related gaskets to restore proper engine power control.

Your emergency brake has locked up multiple times over 2.5 years, causing your dashboard to flash "system malfunction" warnings and disabling your emergency braking system and other safety indicators — these episodes last around 90 minutes and then mysteriously resolve when you reach the dealership with no diagnostic codes found. Nissan replaced your stop/start button, which helped temporarily, but the emergency braking system warning is now appearing again, suggesting the underlying problem hasn't been fixed. The recurring nature of this issue across multiple incidents suggests a deeper electrical or system problem that needs thorough investigation rather than repeated part replacements.

You're noticing a strong fuel smell inside your vehicle's cabin. This could indicate a fuel system leak or issue that should be inspected soon to ensure safety and identify the source. A mechanic will need to locate where the fuel smell is coming from and seal any leaks or replace faulty fuel system components.

Your Rogue suddenly loses power while driving, causing severe shaking and reduced speed with poor acceleration. A "CVT Service Now" warning appears on the dashboard. The dealer diagnosed this as a CVT transmission issue requiring full replacement. Fixing this will likely involve replacing the continuously variable transmission (CVT), which is a major repair.

The rear windshield on my Nissan Rogue shattered suddenly without any impact while the vehicle was parked. The glass appeared to explode outward. I later discovered other owners have reported similar issues with Rogue rear windshields shattering unexpectedly.
