I bought Nissan Rouge 2025 and just after 234 miles warning light "Engine Malfunction Power Reduced Service Now" came on. I took it to dealership, and they checked and said nothing was wrong with the car. I was glad that nothing was wrong with my car. Same warning message light "Engine Malfunction Power Reduced Service Now" came back again at odometer reading of 569 miles. This time car started jerking, shaking, automatic accelerating for a while and then started working back on normal. I took it back to dealership. This time they replaced Engine control Module. They gave car with this assurance that all problems are fixed. I was glad to start driving my brand-new car again with only 569 miles on odometer. But just after driving 300 more-mile same warning message "Engine Malfunction Power Reduced Service Now" light came back on with same jerking and automatic acceleration for a while. I parked car and took it back to dealership. It's been with them for over a week now with odometer reading 872 miles. "Engine Malfunction Power Reduced Service Now" warning light comes at random and once you park car it goes away. But when light is on car jerks, shakes and it makes driving person very concerned and worried
At intersection car started rattling when I accelerated and would barely go and engine light came on. Had to be towed to dealer. They are saying it is just a coil. It had been smelling like burnt rubber. Only has 1509 miles. I am afraid it is more than what they are saying due to the description of the engine recalls coming
The dealership of Royal Nissan in Baton Rouge took two and a half hours to do an oil change. When I asked them why they said it was a known problem that my vehicles engine oil plug would strip if they tried to drain it that way and that it had to be pumped from the top. The service technician admitted that this was a known problem in the plastic oil pan.
