This event has happen 5 times in the last 8 months. While driving (under 30 miles per hr.) car suddenly seems to disengage from the engine. I no longer have acceleration and the engines RPMs increase while stepping on the gas. Stepping off the gas petal will lower the RPMs but the car slows down and eventually will stop. If I brake and reset the car in Drive, will reset and begin to accelerate. Bad thing is there is not engine warning lights or indication of when this will happen. Each episode has been when I have not been going over 30 mph luckily. I never know when this will happen, my biggest fear is the engine will disengage, I will be stuck in the middle of the road and someone will not see me and rear-end me. I have contacted the dealer (January 31, 2024) and had the car looked at but because they could not duplicate the event, they gave it back to me. Attached are pics from the service call where after giving the car back to me they left diagnostic gauges, tape and rusty screwdriver in engine. The last time it happened and I took it to the dealer, they say they test drove it but on the Invoice the mileage remained the same from the Mileage in and out. Hmmm...Did they really test drive it?!!! Or are they just sick of me bringing it to them. Bought the 2021 Nissan Rogue on November 21, 2021 and currently (as of 6/3/24) only have 16315 miles. I am afraid, I have bought a Lemon.
The contact owns a 2021 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that after shifting into drive(D), the gear shifter independently shifted back to park(P). Additionally, the vehicle sometimes failed to remain in park(P); because of the failure, the parking brake had to be engaged to prevent the vehicle from rolling away. The failure progressed and the vehicle had since failed to start. An unknown warning light was illuminated. The local dealer was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 71,000.

Randomly I get malfunction light, check engine light, caution light and and low power lights that flash and beep in the car. It affects the pressure I need to use when pressing down on the gas pedal. It requires more pressure and does not let me surpass a certain mph (I have only gone 40mph when this has appeared). It will randomly shut off and turn on. Since it has started it has been happening more and more with more lights going off. While driving it has turned off the blind spot indicator and other electrical options in the car distracting me while driving.
Went from a parking lot to the street and suddenly SUV wouldn-??t accelerate. Pulled over, turned car off. Turned back on and put into drive gear and it moved forward. Car is 6 weeks old (bought 11/8/2022). Two weeks after obtaining the front crash warning light kept flashing. Then it told me it was a warning and not to drive. Comes on weekly. Then it doesn-??t.

The vehicle keeps throwing a warning on the dash that states "Engine Malfunction Power reduced Service now" and the performance of the vehicle becomes severely limited. I have had two dealerships attempt to diagnose and repair the issue and the last report back is "Customer States Reduced Powertrain Message Comes on cluster, found same concern on techline data base, no repair can be made at this time. concern still under engineer review".
The cheap plastic transmission drive selector broke off when I took delivery of the rental car. I was astonished to find that the thing just broke and pulled right out of its socket while I was attempting to back it up right out of the rental parking lot. I've driven cars since 1971 and I've never seen a drive selector just break off that easily before. That should just never happen. I never could get it into drive again without just turning the car off. I finally figured out how to get it into Reverse and Drive and Neutral, but that's it. There were no warning lamps and the indicator on the shift lever that's supposed to tell you it's in Park never lit up. Without it going into park, there is a real risk of the car rolling away. Turning the car off does put it into Park because it's an electronic transmission apparently. But I had to engage the parking brake when putting it into Neutral when I went to park. I'm just astonished Nissan would put something this fail prone on the road. The shift control should just never break whether it's a lever, or dial or pushbutton. I am now liable for a $400 repair job. I realize that this was just a cheap rental car, but I strongly feel that it shouldn't have happened. Wouldn't want anyone else to have this issue.
Purchsed a new 2021 Rouge SL, I had the car for 2 days and the check engine light came on, I took it to the service center where all they did was clear the code. The very next day the car would not go into any gear and the check engine light came on again, this time they are saying it is the filler neck to the fuel tank. The rear seats also will not let down unless you push against the back of the seat and pull the lever hard, then had issues of the latch not locking the seat in a upright position unless you basically push the seat hard.
5 days after buying the car when you turn it on. An alert of FAILURE IN THE MOTOR LACK OF ENERGY TAKE TO SERVICE. He took him to where he was bought, they checked everything was fine but he did not understand why that notice came out. moderately to call to give me an answer but they did not call me. Weeks passed and the car began to show warnings on the screen, a yellow wrench, a yellow exclamation point, lack of oil, perform an oil change with only 1000 miles, the parking sensor is constantly activated while driving, the vehicle It turns off, it was taken back to where it was bought, they reviewed it and did a re-programming, when I went to pick up a car from the workshop I turned it on and the car turned off and the alarm sounded.
Recently purchased a new 2021 Nissan Rogue. To shift to reverse requires moving the shifter forward. Not like any other car ever. Park has always been the farthest forward gear shift position. Reverse first or second position to the rear of park. This is not intuitive, and will probably cause accidents in the future.
