What owners report

Owners of the 2022 Rogue mostly describe sudden loss of power and rough or failed starts, often at highway speed, with the engine warning message and reduced-power mode appearing on the dash. Many complaints tie these episodes to recall 25V437000 for engine bearings, and a number report engine replacement or coolant and oil leaks. A smaller but consistent group reports a fuel smell around the vehicle, and some describe transmission shuddering or delayed acceleration.

  1. Engine

    Loss of power / limp mode with engine malfunction message

    • 102 complaints (38%)
    • median 63,140 mi at 3.9 yrs old (28 state mileage)
    • 2 mention a crash, fire or injury
    • owner-quoted repair $8,000 (median of 9 quotes)
    • filed 2023–2026

    Owners describe the vehicle losing motive power while driving, sometimes at highway speed, with the engine malfunction or reduced power message displayed and the accelerator no longer responding. Some are able to restart after a short wait and drive on; others report the engine would not restart and the vehicle was towed. Dealers variously diagnosed internal engine damage, replaced the engine, or could not duplicate the failure, and several owners note the recall remedy parts were not yet available. Reported from very low mileage up past 100,000 miles, with many between roughly 45,000 and 85,000 miles.

    Recall 25V4370002 related service bulletins

    What to check: Ask whether recall 25V437000 has been performed on the vehicle and whether an engine has already been replaced. During a test drive, watch for the engine malfunction or reduced power message and any hesitation under acceleration.

  2. Engine cooling

    Engine noise, shaking, and coolant or oil leaks

    Mentioned in 12 of 60 sampled complaints

    Owners describe knocking, grinding, or clicking sounds, abnormal shaking at idle or while accelerating, and white smoke from the exhaust. Some report coolant loss or an oil leak near the engine compartment, and dealers in several cases found internal damage such as metal debris in the oil pan, a failed head gasket, or a leaking cooler that required engine replacement. Others had engine mounts replaced, sometimes without the symptoms going away. Mostly reported between about 45,000 and 100,000 miles, with some cases at lower mileage.

    Recall 25V4370006 related service bulletins

    What to check: Check coolant and oil levels and look for a sweet or burning smell after a drive; ask for service records showing whether the coolant and charge air cooler procedures in the bulletins were performed.

    2 excerpts from owner complaints in NHTSA records

    “I am reporting a safety defect involving my 2022 Nissan Rogue related to NHTSA Recall 25V437 (engine bearing failure). Prior to complete engine failure, I experienced multiple instances of sudden loss of power while driving at highway speeds, creating a serious safety hazard. In one instance, this nearly resulted in a multi-vehicle accident in heavy traffic. The vehicle also exhibited additional symptoms consistent with the recall, including engine shaking, knocking noises, rough riding and hard shifting, burning smell, and warning lights. …”

  3. Transmission and drivetrain

    Transmission shudder, delayed acceleration, and AWD warnings

    Mentioned in 6 of 60 sampled complaints

    Owners describe shuddering or jerking under acceleration, the transmission slipping into neutral, and delayed or failed acceleration with the AWD warning light on. In some complaints the dealer could not duplicate the issue or found no warranty coverage, while others report transmission or transfer assembly diagnoses. Some owners note the symptoms continued after software updates or other repairs. Reported across a wide mileage range, from near-new vehicles up to about 85,000 miles.

    5 related service bulletins

    What to check: Test drive at both low and highway speeds and feel for shuddering, hesitation, or delayed engagement. Ask whether any software updates or transfer assembly seal work have been done.

The dealer diagnosed the vehicle with transmission failure. The vehicle was not repaired. …”

    NHTSA complaint #11672056, filed 2025-07, 48 miles

Buying note. Ask for written confirmation of whether recall 25V437000 has been completed and whether the engine has been replaced, and treat an unresolved reduced-power episode as a reason to have the car inspected before purchase. Check for a fuel smell around the vehicle and test the backup camera and driver-assist features on the test drive.

Summary written with AI from a sample of 60 NHTSA complaints for this model year (picked at random, with complaints that state a mileage and recent ones taken first), then checked automatically against the source records. Where a problem shows a complaint count, every complaint for this model year was matched with fixed keyword rules (written with AI and tested against the sample), and the mileage, age and repair figures are calculated from those complaints; owners' figures are as stated, not verified. Other counts refer to the sample.

Example complaints

Engine: “Because of the potential for engine bearing failure, our 2022 Nissan Rogue has been sitting in our garage for the past two months as we continue to make payments on it. It is unacceptable that Nissan continues to delay their efforts to provide a remedy for this issue. I can't imagine what Nissan Rogue owners will do if this is their only vehicle.”

NHTSA complaint #11693379, filed 2025-10

Fuel system: “For several weeks I have noticed strong smell of gasoline when my car is parked in my garage. Today, I called my Nissan dealer because I am very concerned. The service advisor informed me that they have received many similar complaints and Nissan is supposedly trying to identify and remedy the problem. He said my car is safe, but I am terribly concerned.”

NHTSA complaint #11499442, filed 2022-12

Engine cooling: “See attached document for complaint. I have gotten all your notices about the recall, and we advised our dealer Courtesy Nissan now Cooley Nissan of Richardson, Texas and t hey said they will advise us when they are prepared to correct the faults. Unfortunately, everything you describe in the literature happened to the above car before we received your notices and I spent almost $15,000 correcting the problems. We were advised at the time that we did not put oil in the car causing all the warning lights to come on even though we regularly went to an oil change company to change the oil. …”

NHTSA complaint #11696520, filed 2025-10

Transmission and drivetrain: “My vehicle makes a rattling sound, especially when accelerating, and it seems to be coming from the engine compartment or front drive train. The recall (25V-437) has something to do with engine bearings. I'm afraid that the engine might shutdown, which is a possible risk cited by Nissan. The pending remedy is 4 months in the making, but still nothing as of this writing. What gives??”
