Bought a 2022 Nissan Rouge on 9/2024 from Car Dealer. In November 2024, the car would not start. Jump start worked so we thought it might be battery related so bought a New Battery. AND Took it back to the dealer in the same month November 2024 as i was worried about the car shutting down in the middle of the highway and can't restart. DANGEROUS. The Car Dealer did an inspection(or so they said) and said no problems with the car but they would not give me a printout to confirm. Said that their printer and email was not working. Fast forward, May 2025, while DRIVING the car on [XXX] , it started shaking and shut off. . This time, it would not RESTART. Had it jump started several times but NOTHING worked. SO I Had to tow the 2022 Nissan Rouge from there to the Nissan Dealer Servicing (Springfield, NJ) THEN I found out about the recalls and about the electrical problems and with THE ROUGE NOT STARTING. AND As per Nissan Servicing center in Springfield, NJ, The engine is completely shot and needs to be replaced. Total cost $14000. AND THEY REFUSED TO FIX IT so i had it towed back to my driveway where it has been sitting BECAUSE THE SUV IS NO LONGER FUNCTIONAL and i do not have $14000 to pay for a new engine. I bought the Nissan Rouge for $18000 only 8 months ago and have only added $5000 miles since and have a active car loan. ALSO THE VEHICLE DID NOT GIVE ANY TYPE OF WARNING SIGNAL/MESSAGES/NOTIFICATION BEFORE SHUTTING DOWN COMPLETELY before shutting off. I have INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Complete engine failure. My wife broke down on the side of the road. Was told it was a Turbo Charger failure that then allowed coolant to get into the engine. Was further told it needs a new Turbo Charger Assembly as well as various other parts for the engine that were damaged as a result. Happened with only 39k miles on the vehicle.

Our vehicle stalled once while idle at an ATM. Upon restart we brought it to our local mechanic for investigation, they diagnosed the issue as a Turbo Sensor problem costing about $700. They recommended bringing it to Nissan for further review rather than charge us for the repair. We picked up the vehicle the next day and brought it to our local Nissan dealership where they confirmed it was in face the turbo causing the issue. After discovering this and quoting us a repair of $7,200 they did a pressure test overnight only to discover there was coolant leaking into the engine and that a new block will now need to be installed for the vehicle to work. The new cost is $11,500 to repair. The vehicle is a 2022 Nissan Rogue that we are the only owners with regular maintenance. When we dropped off the vehicle at both locations there was no check engine light on and there were no signs of engine failure. The Sales Manager went to check the vehicle and confirmed the engine no longer works.

I recently experienced “safe mode” in my 2022 Nissan Rogue while driving on the highway at 80mph. My car suddenly lost power and would not accelerate or brake. I had to have my vehicle towed off the side of the highway as it was not drivable. My car is currently under diagnostic at Nissan where they are unable to reproduce the error codes. They notified me of $4,000 in repairs that would be covered by Nissan but they are unsure that will fix the problem. My car is knocking while driving, vibrating upon attempt of acceleration and shuttering at idle.

Vehicle started shaking and making noise. Engine light came on and within 30 seconds car went dead. I’m an elderly person traveling with wife and grandchildren. On highway at 70 mph. 21,000 miles. Has been towed to dealer. No diagnosis yet. Third day moving slow. Very disappointed and scared.

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.
