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 car just shut down while it was on and I was in it. Luckily I was at a stop. This is the second time it has happened in 6 months. It would be scary if it happened if it happened on the freeway. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle.
I was driving on 85 south @10:15 am it was very busy traffic and all of a sudden the vehicle starts loosing power all kinds of lights came on the panel engine malfunction also was on the panel it was so scary.I was trying to get off the highway safely the steering wheel was hard to turn.I saw2 18 wheelers & other vehicles coming l really thought I was going to die.
May 1st, 2023 at approx. 3:30pm There were NO warning lights or messages of ANY kind received. No warning given by mail or phone call from selling agent that was issued March 12th, 2021. Was driving on interstate going south headed home after work. Approx 15 mi from home when smoke starting coming into the vehicle & from under the hood. Traveling in fast lane, appox 70mph in heavy traffic. Tried to pull over to see what the problem was but traffic wouldn't allow it, & I could not get to side of road & missed the next exit. So I proceeded to next rest area that I knew was less than a mile on my side. When there is smoke you usually find fire! As I entered the exit ramp to rest area I passed out from smoke inhalation. SUV continued traveling straight ahead at approx 55 mph & hit parked 18 wheeler tractor-trailer, I bounced off it, circled around & ended up facing West. I was still unconscious, truck driver & security guard pulled me from my suv. Just as they did the vehicle exploded into flames. Nothing left of vehicle. Rescuers could not see if any other passengers were in car because the black smoke was so thick & flames were shooting from under hood. Transported via ambulance to regional trauma & burn center to critical care ICU. There they did full test to check for stroke, heart, or other problems but I was in great health. I did have 4 broken ribs on left, cut in top of skull that took 8 staples, stitches in right eyebrow, damaged forehead, & various 1st, 2nd, & 3rd degree burns on my face, neck, right ear, left forearm, & both hands burned sufficiently! My shirt MELTED. SUV definitely had a problem that I was NOT aware of, for it to just start smoking, driving down the road. Purchased 3-7-23 from Hertz Car Sales. Only had SUV for 79 days/ 2 months! Loved the vehicle but it almost killed me! Thanks forever to my guardian Angel that saved my life! This model SUV must be recalled to save lives in the future & repair such a dangerous issue!

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.

First problem occurred on Sunday, August 15, 2021 (Mileage: 4,514) when the dashboard displayed: "Engine Malfunction, Power Reduced, Service Now" Warning light came on. The same day, I left a VM with Service Manager at CONICELLI dealership (as well sent pic and video of another repeat problem w/the front passenger window) who called me back the next morning stating if the WARNING message is off its okay to drive it to dealership in which I did on 8/16/2021 (by the way, when arriving the warning did not display, but again I had taken picture) After having my vehicle for a little over any hour I was told they had to call NISSAN about the problem and they were instructed to replace a sensor, the gear shift, and battery (since I had been having problems with starting the vehicle, it takes 2-3 "PUSH START" before the vehicle turns on. Now because it will take about 3 weeks for all the parts to come in it okay for me to drive the vehicle since the warning light went off. I said that I DID NOT feel safe driving the vehicle and want to be placed in a rental until they can complete the repairs. The Service Manager (Mark) said again since the light was off its okay, I just need to be concern if the comes back on begin flashing. I did not think it should be driven until the repairs was done because it is an unsafe condition for me and everyone else on the road. But I took the vehicle. The next morning the light came back on and stayed (Mileage: 4,594) on for the enter 45 minute drive and it did not drive well (it was sluggish). I called and complained to NISSAN HQ and Service Manager, Mark at CONICELLI. They only want to repair the sensor and battery because they have those parts and call me when the gear shift comes in and I return to get that fix. I was like that's unacceptable, I don't want a partial fix I want the problem fully fixed and I want a rental while YOU wait all the parts. He wants me in rental but none available, YET I reserved a rental after R call.

After parking in a driveway for a gift delivery my car would not start and the check engine light came on. I took it into coon rapids, mn nisson service on April 2nd and they still have it today ( April 15). No idea as to what is wrong. They provided me with a rouge to use but would like my new platinum back. It only has 838 miles on it. What is going on? they said I ciuld get it back with no repairs but I do not want to drive an unsafe vehicle as I am in my 80's and do not wish to be stuck someplace when my car won't start and also with an engine warning light on. I paid $40,000 for this vehicle and expect it to be right. Please respond. Msaybe a new platinum will be needed if they cannnot fix it.
