2024 Nissan Rogue

On December 13, 2023, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened PE23-023 to investigate allegations of engine failures leading to loss of motive power in model year (MY) 2021-2023 Nissan Rogue; MY 2019-2021 Nissan Altima; and MY 2019-2021 Infiniti QX50 vehicles. At that time, ODI had received 6 Vehicle Owner Questionnaires (VOQ) and multiple early warning reports, with consumers reporting engine knocking noises accompanied by a loss of engine power while driving. The investigation identified bearing failures in certain vehicles equipped with the subject 3-cylinder 1.5L or 4-cylinder 2.0L variable compression turbo (VC-Turbo) engines. ODI also identified early warning reports describing thermal incidents that occurred immediately after the vehicle suffered a catastrophic engine failure.  The failures were the result of a manufacturing defect in specific engine bearings (main, A-, C-, and L-link) or other engine components that may cause engine damage and potentially lead to engine failure. Engine failure can result in a loss of motive power event that can increase the risk of a crash.  Engine failure might also result in a fire if internal components detach and impact the engine block creating a hole that allows engine oil to reach hot surfaces. In its April 2024, May 2024, and June 2025 responses to ODI’s information requests, Nissan provided 998 customer reports (including complaints, field reports, and legal claims) and 1,107 warranty claims related to the alleged defect.  When combining ODI and manufacturer report data, there are 1,878 unique VINs that have experienced failures across all subject vehicles.  In one of the early warning reports, ODI identified an incident involving a 2022 Infiniti QX55 that resulted in an engine fire following an alleged engine failure. The 2022 Infiniti QX55 was not included in the scope of this investigation but the vehicle model shares the same 4-cylinder 2.0L variable compression turbo engine.  Based on the information included with the early warning report, the fire can be directly related to the alleged defect.   A further review of ODI and manufacturer data, identified 12 allegations of engine compartment fires in subject vehicles; three were confirmed as directly related to the engine failure, and nine reports described an under-hood fire that occurred following a loss of power event. Additionally, ODI identified multiple reports describing an engine block crack or hole surrounded by oil residue following an engine failure. On June 27, 2025, Nissan submitted recall 25V-437 involving 443,899 MY 2021-2023 Nissan Rogue, MY 2019-2021 Nissan Altima; MY 2019-2021 Infiniti QX50; and 2022 Infiniti QX55 vehicles. The recall remedy provides the dealer instructions to inspect the engine oil pan for the presence of specific metal debris. 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). For customers with the 4-cylinder 2.0L VC-Turbo engine, if no debris is detected, dealers will replace the engine oil. In the case where specific debris is detected and confirmed by Nissan Powertrain Call Center, dealers will be instructed to replace the engine. In addition, Nissan will extend the vehicle warranty to 10 years and 120,000 miles for the recall subject vehicle population after the dealer performs the inspection. Nissan has implemented multiple corrective actions to address the identified manufacturing defects of certain engine block internal components.  In view of the recall action (25V437) taken by Nissan, ODI is closing this Preliminary Evaluation. The agency reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances.

I was driving on the highway on 11/8/2026, and suddenly the car's speed reduced drastically and it started violently shaking. The following error message came up: "Idle Stop System - Stop/Start System Fault," and the check engine light came on. Thankfully I did not get into a car crash and was able to pull over to the side of highway. While I was pulled over with the engine on, the car was still shaking and rocking back and forth forcibly. This exact same issue happened in the Summer of 2024 when I just purchased the car, brand new from Nissan. At the time they replaced an engine part and assured me the matter had been taken care of. Since then, Nissan has issued multiple recalls related to the Stop/Start system, and now I have brought it to the auto shop again. These two instances of complete loss of motive power, stop/start system fault, and severe engine shaking in a new car are severe safety hazards that could have resulted in a car accident in active highway traffic. I had the vehicle towed to a Nissan dealership for repair work and have opened a case (#57211908) with Nissan Consumer Affairs.

Was at a parked location: Owners report the glass shattering while driving at highway speeds, parked, turning corners, or immediately after closing a car door or the rear liftgate. • Current Status: A class-action lawsuit ([XXX] et al. v. Nissan North America, Inc.) has been filed against Nissan, and dozens of complaints have been logged with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Nissan has not issued an official recall and has frequently denied warranty coverage, claiming the damage is external or wear-and-tear. What You Should Do 1. Document Everything: Take clear, high-resolution photos of the shattered glass, frame, and surrounding area before cleanup or repairs. 2. File a Report: Submit a formal complaint online to the NHTSA Safety Problem Reporting Tool to add your incident to the federal database. 3. Contact Nissan & Insurance: Call your local Nissan dealership to see if they will honor a warranty claim (especially if you are under the 3-year/36,000-mile limit), though you may also need to check with your auto insurance provider regarding glass coverage. If you'd like, tell me: • How many miles are on your 2024 Rogue? • Is your vehicle under the 3-year / 36,000-mile warranty? I can help you look up the best steps for dealing with Nissan or your insurance claim.

I am filing a safety complaint regarding the spontaneous shattering of the rear windshield on my 2024 Nissan Rogue SV. My vehicle was parked when the rear windshield suddenly shattered into numerous small pieces without any known impact or outside interference. There was no apparent reason for the glass to break. This incident raises concerns about the safety and quality of the rear windshield and whether there may be a defect involving the glass. I initially attempted to have Nissan inspect and address the issue through an authorized Nissan dealership. However, I was informed that the vehicle would need to be brought in for an inspection, and I was not guaranteed that the issue would be repaired or covered under warranty. Due to the time required and the need to have a safe, usable vehicle for transporting my children, I ultimately had the rear windshield replaced at an independent glass repair facility at my own expense. I subsequently contacted Nissan to request reimbursement. However, Nissan declined reimbursement because the repair had been completed at an independent facility. My concern is not solely the cost of the repair. I am concerned that the rear windshield of a relatively new vehicle spontaneously shattered while parked, without any known impact. A sudden glass failure presents a potential safety hazard to the vehicle’s occupants and others nearby. I am requesting that NHTSA document and investigate this incident to determine whether there may be a recurring defect involving the rear windshield on 2024 Nissan Rogue vehicles. I have photographs documenting the damage and can provide additional repair documentation upon request.
