Owner Complaints (43)
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 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 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.

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.

I purchased this vehicle as a Nissan Certified Pre-Owned in July 2024 and also purchased an extended warranty. In June 2025, I received notice of the KR engine bearing recall affecting this vehicle.

While driving, the engine started making a loud rattling noise, as if there were loose parts inside. The noise increases when accelerating, and the vehicle has noticeably lost power, especially during gear shifts. It feels like the transmission is struggling or the engine isn’t delivering enough power.

I took the car in to the dealership to have the oil changed. After they finished, they informed me that the oil had been leaking from the oil pan drain plug due to it being stripped. They told me that because the oil pan was made of a "composite material" that it was extremely easy to strip the drain plug and crack the oil pan due to the material that it was made of.

There is an odd engine 'rattling', 'guzzling', 'slurping', type noise coming from the engine and the engine has begun to idle very rough even after fresh oil change. This is directly the issue cited from Nissan as recall with no current solution - which is unacceptable. We are not interested in waiting until the car malfunctions worse and in a dangerous way in order to get this recall addressed.
