See attached document for complaint. PLEASE ADVISE! In August of 2025 we received an important Safety Recall on our 2023 Nissan Rogue Vehicle ------copy enclosed. As of yet our car hasn’t been fixed and having a car with an engine that contains a manufacturing set of defects is alarming. Note------- the letter implied that if the engine fails while driving it--- the result would be loss of power. Can’t tell you our concern of having a crash and engine fire. We contacted our Nissan dealer twice now and was told Nissan Company has not gotten the part needed and how to administer it . This is our third Nissan Vehicle which is paid off. Please don’t make us “get rid” of our vehicle with this problem of worry! It is now as you know November 3, 2025 with no remedy in site. We don’t like traveling on the road knowing what could happen to us and our family at any time. We don’t want to make this a public issue for Nissan but we don’t see any effort from your company. We bought over the years Nissan vehicles as we valued their safety and service. Nissan’s performance is showing failure meeting its standards unacceptable!

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2023 Nissan Rogue Sport verdict →
