2022 Nissan Rogue Problems

This is a complaint that Nissan failed to honor the safety recall on my 2022 Nissan Rogue.The safety recall is Part 573 Safety recall report 26V080. The recall covers the bearing failure that can lead to engine failure. The engine in my Nissan failed at about 23,985 miles. I have a statement from the service manager at the local dealership were it was serviced stating the the engine failure was inline with the recall. I spoke with Nissan and the BBB about this issue and got denied reimbursement for the cost of the engine. The engine was bought from and installed by Nissan. When the engine blew my brother in law was driving on the highway. Thankfully no one was hurt as he was able to get the car off the road.

An authorized Nissan franchise executed an active safety recall campaign on my vehicle regarding coolant loss. Technicians failed to secure critical powertrain components during reassembly. Three days post-delivery, a major engine bolt fell out on the highway and the chassis began vibrating violently. A certified military base auto hobby shop inspection officially grounded the vehicle, finding a broken rear motor mount bracket, unfastened structural bolts, and a completely disconnected transmission/engine hose left by the franchise. This constitutes a severe post-recall safety failure that actively endangered my family on public roads.

The vehicle has experienced repeated sudden loss of engine power and inability to accelerate, accompanied by the dashboard warning “Power Reduced, Engine Malfunction, Service Now.” After seven incidents since 2022, a Nissan dealership performed diagnostics on while the warning remained displayed and informed me that an EGR-related component needed replacement. The exact component and diagnostic findings should be confirmed by the dealership. The vehicle is currently at or has been serviced by the Nissan dealership, and service records and diagnostic findings may be available upon request. 2.my Nissan Rogue SL has suddenly lost power seven times while I was driving, including on highways at approximately 55 mph. During these incidents, the vehicle became unable to accelerate, creating a serious risk of collision with surrounding traffic. The most recent incident occurred on XXX while I was transporting both of my children. My speed dropped to zero, and I had to pull over to avoid a collision. Fortunately, no accident has occurred, but these repeated failures have placed my children, myself, and other motorists at risk. 3.Yes.I kept the vehicle running for approximately four hours while waiting for a tow truck so the dashboard warning would remain displayed. When the vehicle arrived at the Nissan dealership, the warning was still present, allowing technicians to perform diagnostics. I was informed that the issue was related to the EGR system and that a component needed replacement. During previous visits, the dealership was unable to reproduce the warning after it disappeared from the dashboard, and the underlying problem remained unresolved. 4.Yes. My vehicle has been inspected by Sheehy Nissan in [XXX], on multiple occasions following the reported loss-of-power incidents. Nissan Consumer Affairs has also been contacted repeatedly, and I have several case numbers documenting my complaints.5 Engine malfunction power reduced, service now 5/2022- now INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FO

My 2022 Nissan Rouge lost power and engine light came on said i engine needs servicing I Drove it to dealership they want to charge me 7300 to fix both cats and sensors. I asked about the recall on the KG bearing. The said the updated the program but my vehicle is now totally clogged and wont drive. There is a refusal to complete the NHTSA Recall No.: 25V437. As Stated in the recall: Description of remedy program: Dealers will inspect the engine oil pan for the presence of specific metal debris. This inspection will be performed free of charge for parts and labor and should take less than one (1.0) hour to complete. • For customers with the 3-cylinder 1.5L VC-Turbo engine, if no debris is detected during the inspection, dealers will replace the oil pan gasket, engine oil, and reprogram the vehicle’s Engine Control Module (ECM). This repair will be performed free of charge for parts and labor and should take less than half of one (0.5) hour to complete. The dealer refuses to drop the oil pan and wants payment for it and the oil! I have spent About $1000 so far on a rental because dealer claims they don't do that either. I need help getting this taking care of. Thank you

On [XXX], my 2022 Nissan Rogue (1.5L VC-Turbo, about 66,000 miles) suddenly lost power while being driven near Lehighton, PA. The check engine light came on, the vehicle would not respond to the accelerator, the oil pressure warning came on, and the engine stalled. We had to get to the side of the road with no power, which put us and surrounding traffic at risk. The vehicle could not be driven and was towed 128 miles to a Nissan dealer. The Nissan dealer confirmed the failure. Their master technician found coolant getting past the valves into the engine cylinders. Nissan then stated that the EGR cooler failed, allowing coolant into the engine and causing it to overheat. The engine must be replaced. Nissan declined to cover the repair, stating the EGR cooler is not covered under its extended engine warranty. A third-party inspector for the vehicle’s service contract is expected to examine the vehicle. The dealer has been asked to retain the failed EGR cooler for inspection. This vehicle is included in recall 25V-437 (engine bearings). The recall remedy (Nissan campaign R25D1: ECM reprogram and engine check) was completed by a Nissan dealer on [XXX], at about 56,500 miles, and the engine was reported in good condition. The engine failed about 9,500 miles later. Prior warnings: Sluggish throttle reponse about 30 miles before total failure. The engine oil level was full, and the oil had been changed shortly before the trip. Other owners have reported similar EGR cooler failures on 2022 Rogues leading to coolant intrusion, overheating, and engine failure. I believe the EGR cooler on the 1.5L VC-Turbo engine can fail internally and cause a sudden loss of motive power, and it should be investigated.

My 2022 Nissan Rogue has entered reduced-power/limp mode approximately nine times. The specific component causing the malfunction has not been identified. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. When the malfunction occurs, the vehicle displays a malfunction/reduced-power warning and substantially reduces available engine power. Several occurrences happened during a long-distance trip involving highway, mountain, and desert driving. The unexpected reduction in power creates a safety concern during highway travel, merging, passing, climbing grades, or travel in remote areas. The problem is intermittent and has not been successfully reproduced by an authorized Nissan dealership. I presented the vehicle to a Nissan dealer and reported the repeated events while the vehicle had approximately 56,500 miles and remained below Nissan's 60,000-mile powertrain warranty mileage limit. The dealership advised that it could not diagnose the problem unless the malfunction occurs again with an active diagnostic code. I have also reported the problem to Nissan Consumer Affairs. The underlying cause remains unidentified and the vehicle has not been repaired for this condition. Warning messages appear when the malfunction occurs. During the long-distance trip, diagnostic codes were cleared to restore vehicle operation. The vehicle would then operate normally for a period before unexpectedly entering reduced-power mode again. My primary concern is that after approximately nine occurrences, I still have no diagnosis or assurance that the condition will not recur during highway operation or another situation where maintaining vehicle power is necessary for safe operation.

My 2022 Nissan Rogue 1.5L VC-Turbo is experiencing repeated limp-mode/reduced-power events, severe hesitation, poor acceleration, rough/shaking idle, and recurring DTC U0652 after Nissan marked recall 25V-437 complete. The vehicle is available for inspection. Reduced-power symptoms were documented as early as Dec. 2024 and significantly worsened by Oct. 3, 2025 at approximately 100,400 miles, including loss of power at highway speed. I previously reported this condition to NHTSA under Complaint #11696068. The first Nissan dealer (Willis) used a borescope, claimed “sludge,” recommended engine replacement, refused to provide supporting photos/evidence, and did not remove the oil pan. Willis later provided me an oil sample, which I submitted for independent analysis. That analysis showed multiple bearing-associated wear metals without an abnormal viscosity condition explaining the findings, and confirmed the oil pan was had not been checked. A second Nissan dealer was contacted to performed Nissan’s recall screening/software procedure. No engine light could be on upon arrival. Because the intermittent condition did not occur during the brief test, Nissan marked the recall complete. The warning light is now illuminated again and the vehicle is again entering limp mode/reduced power. I contacted Nissan for assistance and was told they would not provide towing or further recall assistance because the recall is listed as complete. I am currently stranded with the same safety condition after Nissan declared the vehicle remedied. My complaint is failed recall remedy/recall effectiveness. Nissan’s screening process classified this vehicle as remedied, but the safety condition continues and appears progressive. Nissan is now using its own “recall complete” status to refuse further action despite recurring loss of power and independent evidence of internal engine wear.

Inner tie rod on the driver side fell off why driving down the interstate. No warnings and no previous maintenance on that part or area. Mechanic said the bolt just came off with no reason.

On the left side of the steering wheel there is a group of Settings buttons with a pressure sensitive dial, called the OK button, that controls which menu you choose. The button no longer allows me to select a menu option because the depression sensor does not spring back. For instance, if I want to adjust the driver assistance options, I need use the OK button to scroll through the options to find the setting I want, then depress the OK button to select it. However, the OK button sticks with the slightest pressure instead of scrolling. This makes it impossible to change or adjust any of the safety features and there is no other option to manually adjust them. I am unable to turn on the blind spot warning and lane departure warning. I was trying to adjust the auto light settings, but I could not scroll to the correct option. My lights were stuck in the "OFF" mode which makes driving very dangerous.

On June 12, 2026, while driving my 2022 Nissan Rogue on the Grand Central Expressway in New York, the engine suddenly shut down and the vehicle lost motive power in active highway traffic. The vehicle would not restart. I called 911, and police responded and protected the disabled vehicle until it could be towed to safety. I later learned the vehicle was subject to Nissan Safety Recall R25D1 / NHTSA 25V-437 involving engine bearing defects that may cause engine damage and loss of motive power. A Nissan dealer inspected the vehicle and documented that the engine would not turn over. The technician removed the oil pan, found metal debris, and determined the engine was seized. Nissan subsequently replaced the engine and turbocharger. After the replacement, I began experiencing additional problems. The vehicle hesitated during acceleration. On August 15, the Check Engine light illuminated with an “Engine Malfunction” warning. The dealer subsequently replaced an exhaust-related sensor. On August 23, the SRS/Air Bag warning light illuminated and remained on before later turning off. The same SRS warning occurred again on August 24, and the vehicle also failed to start on the first attempt. On August 26, another warning appeared stating “Malfunction – See Owner’s Manual.” Nissan Consumer Affairs advised me that these subsequent problems are unrelated to the engine recall. I am concerned about the continuing safety and reliability problems occurring shortly after the engine and turbo replacement and am requesting that NHTSA document and evaluate these incidents for a potential safety defect.

I was driving when I was pulled over by a police officer for speeding I was going 5 over the speed limit (Speed limit was 65). As the officer approached my vehicle, he noticed flames coming from the engine compartment before I was aware there was any issue. He immediately instructed me to exit the vehicle for my safety. After I got out, the officer attempted to put out the fire with a fire extinguisher, but the flames continued to spread despite his efforts. The fire quickly intensified, causing extensive damage to the vehicle. Emergency responders were called to the scene to extinguish the fire, but by the time the fire was under control, the vehicle had sustained severe fire damage and was no longer operable.

3/25/2023 784 miles and 12 days after purchasing the vehicle The throttle got stuck, cruise was on but not activated, was going 100mgh, hit the brakes, slowed the speed, every time I took my foot off the brake, I was doing 90-100mph. I hit the brakes 5-7 times to try to cancel the cruise even though it was was set. It said "Activate" so it was not on. Then after hitting the brakes repeatedly, I heard a loud kerplunk (metal on metal) sound in the engine behind the brake pedal, and it shut off and drove normally afterwards. 3/30/2023 I accelerated to get on I35 and RPM stuck at 3200 and would not shift in sport mode; I changed to Standard mode and the RPMs dropped to 2000-2100; the engine revved up loud in sport mode. Female Service Manager from Burleson Nissan was in the car at the time of the event. This has happened 3 more times since owning this vehicle. At the advice of my lemon law attorney, I am reporting them separately.

I was caught in a snowstorm, driving about 5 MPH. Suddenly, the vehicle swerved to the left and I lost complete control; the brakes locked up. The vehicle spun about 145° degrees before coming to a stop perpendicular to the road; subsequently rear-ended from behind. The moment was surreal; I’ve never felt closer to a life-threatening incident because I had ZERO CONTROL over the car: I was spared ONLY because there was no oncoming traffic. My biggest concern is why the safety systems failed to intervene. During the incident, the ABS did NOTHING. Traction Control, NOTHING. NO warning lights came on. It’s mind blowing that the car skidded about 145° degrees without any intervention from the ABS and Traction Control systems. With modern 4-channel ABS and advanced Traction Control (Vehicle Dynamic Control) safety systems, the car should have attempted to correct itself. Because I was at a standstill, I was braking the entire time; I didn’t jam the brakes or steer the vehicle. To make matters worse, the car was in Snow Mode AWD. One hypothesis is a glitch where Vehicle Dynamic Control won’t operate in snow mode to give maximum engine performance. But at the cost of reduced safety and traction. Or perhaps the safety systems are not working as intended. The emergency brake malfunction light occasionally comes on when idling and several malfunction messages once during a long trip. However, these were sporadic and did not appear before this incident. Moreover, the maintenance person at my apartment recently experienced the same issue. While on the road with his new 2021 Nissan Rogue, his car spun out of control FOUR TIMES. He's driven in the snow in other vehicles without a problem, and will NEVER drive the Rogue in snow again. Because this vehicle failed in a critical safety scenario, I’m requesting Nissan carefully inspect the safety systems, including the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) and Vehicle Dynamic Control free of charge. Will escalate this further if needed.

I am submitting this complaint regarding a persistent water intrusion defect in my 2022 Nissan Rogue Platinum that Nissan has not formally addressed through a recall, despite published Technical Service Bulletins acknowledging the issue. During periods of heavy rain and when using automated car washes, water enters the cabin from the sunroof area on both the passenger and driver sides. I discovered this only after observing blue soap residue running down the interior side panels, and upon further inspection have since noticed signs of mold growth inside the vehicle within the past month. After researching this problem, I learned that this issue is well documented and widespread among 2021–2023 Nissan Rogue vehicles. Nissan has issued multiple Technical Service Bulletins, including TSB BT21-020B, identifying defective sunroof drain clips and revised repairs. However, Nissan has not issued a recall or formal owner notification, despite the clear pattern of failure reported online across consumer forums, Reddit, and Nissan owner communities with hundreds, if not thousands, of similar complaints. I was forced to seek repair through a local Nissan dealership, which charged me $289.24 for the repair. This defect is not the result of wear and tear or misuse, but of an inherently defective design component that allows water intrusion into sealed vehicle compartments. This defect creates health risks from mold exposure, risks damage to interior components and electronics, and reduces vehicle resale value. I believe Nissan should have issued a safety recall rather than shifting financial responsibility to owners for correcting a known manufacturing defect. Continued water intrusion and mold formation represent a health and safety concern that warrants NHTSA review. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate this matter and require Nissan to issue a recall or provide reimbursement coverage to affected owners. Thank you for your consideration.

I had to have the bars on top of my vehicle replaced due to a flapping noise. The dealership told me that the bars were broken. After replacing the bars, the roof began to leak and now the liner on the a-pillar has a water stain on it. The radio has static and my phone has little to no service. Due to everything being wet. If the moisture gets on wires if could cause a fire. There’s also strong gas fumes that leak from the tank and inside the cabin smells terrible for several days. I have to ride with the windows down. My dealership knows of this, but tells me the warranty is up. I have 52,000 miles on my vehicle now.

The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Rogue. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V437000 (Engine and Engine Cooling); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the engine was running rough while driving at various speeds and while idling. The transmission also intermittently slipped into neutral unexpectedly. The TPMS warning light was illuminated. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 46,000.

235/60R18 tire size I bought a new 2022 Rogue March 2022 which only now has 14,000 miles.During regular maintenance on 1/13/24 , I was told I needed new tires because of tread wear.Nissan said they do not give tire warranty and Hankook would be responsible.After looking at BBB reports, there are quite a few others with similar or same issues. Blow outs,knots or baldness on tires.If these tires don’t last even 2 years or past 14,000 miles,I consider them defective in some way and certainly a safety issue.If Nissan has complaints and still continues to use this tire they are to blame as well.

During service I told the dealership that the seats were cracking. The said that they would investigate, but they never got back to me.

The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving 45 MPH, there was an abnormally loud banging sound coming from the vehicle, and the contact pulled over. The contact became aware that the outer panel of the dual panel panoramic moonroof had exploded outward, while the inner panel remained closed and intact. There was no injury sustained. The vehicle was in the process of being taken to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 51,750.
