NHTSA Complaint #11687124 — 2023 NISSAN ROGUE

Draft Statement for NHTSA Complaint: My 2023 Nissan Rogue is subject to Recall No. 25V-437 for an engine defect involving the connecting rod bearings. This defect can cause sudden engine failure, loss of power while driving, or even fire. My dealership confirmed that no repair parts are available and will not be available until late 2025. Nissan Consumer Affairs also confirmed there is currently no remedy, and they denied my request for a buyback. This leaves me with a vehicle that has a known safety defect but no available fix for the foreseeable future. I rely on this car daily, but I do not feel safe driving it because it could suddenly stall or catch fire, putting me and others at serious risk on the road. The problem has been acknowledged by Nissan and confirmed by my dealer, but no repair, inspection, or alternative remedy has been offered. I have already experienced documented engine failure with this vehicle on 3 separate occasions with the “check engine” light coming on. I have zero confidence in driving this vehicle safely for myself, my family and others on the road. I am requesting NHTSA’s assistance to ensure Nissan provides a timely remedy, as this defect significantly impacts the safety, use, and value of the vehicle.
