2023 Nissan Rogue Fuel system Problems

2023 Nissan Rogue SV Midnight Edition, 1.5L 3-cylinder VC-Turbo. Bought Nissan Certified Pre-Owned 12/11/2024 at 6,843 miles. Recall 25V-437 (engine bearings, Nissan R25D1) was open on my car and never done before the failure, even though I was at the dealer 1/6/2026 after the remedy came out. On 9/9/2025 at 19,759 miles I told the dealer the car burps, the RPMs drop and it loses power from a stop. They said it was operating as designed. On 7/9/2026 at 29,203 miles I was driving at normal street speed with my mother and my dog in the car. The RPMs surged and the engine ran rough with heavy vibration. I pulled into my parking spot, thick white smoke poured out of the exhaust and a burning wire smell came into the cabin. I got them out. It would not restart. No warning lights at any point. The dealer found coolant in the oil and coolant leaking between the head and block, and replaced the engine, turbo, catalytic converter and 2 sensors under the recall. The new engine kept having problems. 8/12 cylinder 3 misfire before I picked it up. 8/19 check engine light on the freeway. 8/21 limp mode on the street: Engine Malfunction, Power reduced, Service now, and a collision warning message. Code P0303, cylinder 3 injector replaced. Codes set again on the dealer's test drive in heavy traffic and the advisor had to pull over, so all injectors were recalibrated. At least 16 Nissan text alerts and 4 alert emails. 54 days out of service. After that I had a fuel smell in the cabin, loss of power on hills, then engine roughness and a burning rubber smell until I turned it in. Nissan bought it back under the California lemon law on 10/20/2026 at 30,995 miles. Nissan engineers inspected it at the dealer in August. The car now belongs to Nissan, and I do not know what happened to the original engine. Full timeline attached.

I own a 2023 Nissan Rogue with the 1.5L VC Turbo engine. I am reporting an ongoing engine/drivability safety concern involving hesitation, vibration, shuddering/stuttering, abnormal RPM behavior, and trouble accelerating from a stop. On XXX, at about 68,365 miles, a Nissan dealer documented high/fluctuating RPMs and vibration at idle, duplicated the vibration, and performed recall R25D1 by reprogramming the ECM and completing a test drive. On XXX at about 69,410 miles, I returned for continued acceleration problems and vibration. Multiple engine/transmission mounts were replaced, but the symptoms continued. Before another dealer visit in XXX, [XXX] scanned the vehicle after the check-engine light appeared and found P0196, related to engine oil temperature. My Nissan service advisor told me not to disclose that code so Nissan could diagnose the vehicle independently. Nissan then independently found and documented the same P0196 code. Nissan recommended and I paid for repairs including the thermostat assembly, throttle body, and spark plugs after being told they would address my concerns. The dealer’s own repair record states the shuddering was reduced but still present. I continue to experience hesitation, vibration, shuddering/stuttering, and abnormal RPM behavior. I also continue to receive an engine oil service message even after an oil change and reset. My concern is that Nissan Recall 26V080 covers certain 2023–2025 Rogues with this same 1.5L VC Turbo engine for increased engine oil temperature that can degrade lubrication and lead to bearing seizure, engine damage, or engine failure. Nissan Consumer Affairs says my VIN is not included. I am asking NHTSA to review whether vehicles outside the current recall population may be experiencing the same or related engine oil temperature and drivability problems. The vehicle is available for inspection and I have dealer repair orders and diagnostic records. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

We first had breakdown on 6/8/2026 and had towed at our expense due to engine recall, they broke egr valve connector while replaceing engine. They replaced new egr terminal kit at this time. Got car back 6/29/2026. On 6/30 started having loud noises and engine shaking brought car in morning of 7/1 they took for test drive the noise wasnt present but the shaking was was told possible trnasmission mount was broken and they would contact me back with no word until car broke down again 7/30 was told to try to drive it to dealer car wouldnt go faster then 5-10mph. Got the car there was told egr valve needed replaced but wasnt covered we had to pay out pocket. Put in complaint with dealer and then consumer affairs that this had to do with original engine failure also they broke parts egr system and have had issues ever since. EGR valve and connectors and kit have been replaced several times since 6/8/2026 which I have all service information and I also opened a claim in the beginning and they did not help me or want any of the info I have and have broken down several times. The car has been returned 6 times but only kept 5 times and repaired this will be the fifth time being repaired for same EGR issues since engine was replaced. And they refused to give me my money back for one tow we paid for 6/8 and we argued that we arent responsible for the EGR valve they replaced since this has to do with engine recall and them breaking sone parts they broke with install. This has caused serious safety issues as everytime the care breaks down we are on hwy going at speed and car turns off and engine malfunction light turns on everytime.

Since purchasing my 2023 Nissan Rogue brand new, I have experienced severe drowsiness and an inability to breathe when driving in start-and-stop traffic. The issue peaked after a recent refueling stop, where raw gas fumes or exhaust heavily infiltrated the cabin. Immediately after driving away from the gas pump, I suffered acute chemical suffocation, gasping for air, experiencing body tremors, and nearly passing out. The symptoms instantly resolved when I switched to driving a different vehicle. This is a severe cabin fume infiltration defect that causes physical incapacitation while driving.

"I am reporting federal safety recall non-compliance and fraudulent remedy execution by an authorized manufacturer franchise, Bella Nissan of Union City ([XXX]), regarding NHTSA Campaign 26V-080 (Nissan Recall Code R25E2) on my 2023 Nissan Rogue SL FWD.I am the original owner of this vehicle, which has an exceptionally low odometer reading of 12,142 miles. The vehicle is used as primary medical transport for my [XXX] special needs son, who has a severe traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy, and partial paralysis.On July 1st, 2026, I brought the vehicle to the dealership explicitly to resolve the critical engine bearing seizure and fire-risk recall. The dealership quoted a 3-hour repair window. Instead, the dealer rushed the vehicle through in 43 minutes total (Start: 12:52, End: 13:35) and recorded an impossible 1-mile odometer difference (Mileage In: 12,142, Mileage Out: 12,143). A single-mile drive is physically incapable of heating the engine oil to the high operating temperatures required by Nissan’s official engineering service bulletin to diagnose defective engine bearings.The dealership falsely certified to federal databases that this fire-risk vehicle was legally remedied, cleared the active safety flag on my consumer app, and billed the manufacturer's warranty department for work never performed. They also billed for a multi-point inspection and complimentary detail that were completely falsified, returning the car with an untouched, dirty windshield. The service advisor then actively withheld the paperwork I physically initialed at pickup, forcing me to take an internal 'Pre-Invoice Audit Copy' to conceal the non-compliant metrics.By rubber-stamping this safety recall on paper without executing the mandatory high-temperature diagnostic drive loop, this dealership has left an unverified fire-risk asset on the road, actively endangering a medically fragile family. I am refusing any future repair loops i want a buyback INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)

I was mailed a letter about a recall for engine bearings. When i called the dealership, they told me they did not have the parts and that Nissan would reach out. Then i received another letter so i called back and scheduled an appt. Before the appointment, the car started exhibiting stalling behavior which included causing me hit a pot hole. Then critical engine warning lights came on, so Nissan towed it to the dealership. The dealership wants $5,000 for a bad turbo and says it is not covered under the recall, only engine bearings and a turbo hose are covered. I believe the ongoing engine failures, bad manufacturing, negligence on behalf of Nissan is causing these issues and it should be covered. This can also cause the throttle body to go bad, which would be another couple thousand dollars. This car is 3 years old, and i still owe 4 years of payments for an unsafe vehicle that i can not drive. I am attempting to escalate this with Nissan, but so far, it has not been covered.

While driving 40-50 mph, my vehicle abruptly dropped to a speed of below 20 mph without warning, scaring me to the point of nearly driving off the side of the road, almost getting rear-ended, and catapulting me forcefully toward my windshield. Simultaneously, this warning light and exact message appeared with a very loud alarm/chime - ⚠️ Warning Engine Malfunction Power reduced Service Engine Now The initial occurrence happened on 07/03/2024 with my vehicle having only 10,208 miles. The same issue has occurred several times since. My vehicle has been inspected by the dealership/manufacturer where they have been unable to reproduce or replicate the problem. I have reported this to Nissan Consumer Affairs as well. The current recall on my vehicle that was announced in July 2025 associated with an engine bearing recall and its safety warnings correlate very closely with what I have experienced. This vehicle is unpredictable and unsafe to drive due to being no warning of the vehicle speed possibly dropping from a 70 mph highway speed down to 20 mph in a split second without warning. This is not only a danger to me and my passengers, but to the other potential vehicles and pedestrians around my vehicle. My vehicle is available for inspection upon request.

Dear Sir or Madam, I purchased a 2023 Nissan Rogue for $24,510.00 from a New Jersey Nissan dealership. Only 45 days after the purchase, Nissan issued two separate safety recalls involving a risk of crash. Nissan failed to provide the necessary parts for months and did not remedy the safety defects within a reasonable time, as required under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Act (49 U.S.C. Chapter 301). I repeatedly contacted Nissan asking for: 1.a buyback at fair market value, and 2.a rental/loaner vehicle until the recall repairs were completed. Nissan refused both requests, which violates the New Jersey Lemon Law, the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act, and the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act. Because the vehicle was unsafe to drive and Nissan offered no solution, I was forced to sell it for $16,600.00. My financial loss is $7,910.00. I respectfully request: 1.A formal investigation into Nissan North America’s handling of these safety recalls, and 2.Assistance in recovering my $7,910.00 economic loss. Sincerely, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I was driving home at night when my car broke down on the highway. I had to leave the car there and take an Uber home. The next day, I had the car towed to the nearest Nissan Service Center to have it check/repair. They did the diagnostic and they didn't know what's going on with the car, a few days later they told me that the Engine was damaged and needed to be replaced but they were waiting for Nissan to approve it. It took 2 and a half weeks to get the car repair. After the repair, I still have the engine lights come up and the car jerks when accelerating; I reported these issues to Customer Affairs and they didn't do anything about it; they also told me that there is another recall pending and will be taken care of in January. This is not the first time the car broke down, I had all engine lights come up before and had to run the the Nissan Service center; they told me that the fuel gasket was leaking. I don't feel safe driving this car; I have to commute to work everyday and I'm afraid that is going to break down again. I bought a Nissan car because I had like 4 different Nissan models before and they always have been very reliable cars, but this time I think I got a lemon and Nissan don't feel like they need to replace it. I have all the recordings going back and forth with the Customer Affairs where they confirm that it was they fault the car broke down.
