NHTSA Complaint #11601785 — 2022 NISSAN ROGUE

DRIVING ON A LOCAL FREEWAY AT THE STATE LIMIT 70 MPH. I PASSED AN 18-WHEELER AND PROCEEDED TO ENTER THE RIGHT LANE AFTER PASSING THE TRUCK. ONCE IN THE RIGHT LANE THE POWER REDUCED/ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT/ SERVICE LIGHT APPEARED. THIS WAS THE FIRST ENGINE LIGHTS TO APPEAR SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE WITH 12000 MILES ON IT. MY RATE OF SPEED WAS DRAMATICALLY REDUCED CAUSING THE 18 WHEELER I HAD JUST PASSED TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES AND FORCING ME OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID AN ALL-OUT COLLISION. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. I WAS TOLD A SEAL FAILED ON THE WATER CONTROL VALVE CAUSING THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION. THE SEAL WAS REPLACED AND VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO ME. ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP, AFTER THE WATER CONTROL VALVE REPAIR, THE VEHICLE STALLED ENTERING A HIGHWAY IN THE CENTER LANE! FOR THE SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN A MONTH, MY LIFE AND UNSUSPECTING OTHER TRAVELLERS' LIVES WERE PLACED IN DANGER DUE TO THE MALFUNCTIONING VEHICLE/ENGINE. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTART THE VEHICLE AND MAKE IT HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT SITS.
