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.
Strong gas smell after car has been idled or parked for more than 5 minutes or so. If I turn the car off and start it again within the hour, the fumes are worse. Car has been maintenance according to schedule and passed Multipoint Safety Check on 10/2/2023. I am concerned both about the health risk of inhaling fumes, as I drive many hours per day. I have noticed dizziness, nausea, and headaches days that I am in and out of the car more. I am also concerned about the risk of a fire ensuing due to the strong fumes. I am anxious every time I turn the car on hoping that no malfunctions occur.
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.
In this scenario, the fuel pump failed or malfunctioned, causing the engine to sputter and putting my safety and others at risk. The problem has been confirmed by an independent service center and the vehicle has been inspected by code. If requested, the fuel pump is available for inspection. Prior to the failure, a warning lamp in the form of a check engine light appeared, indicating a problem with the fuel system. I promptly addressed my issues to Nissan to prevent potentially dangerous situations on the road.
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!
The vehicle was being driven to work approximately 30 miles. It was noticeable that the fuel gauge was dropping rather quickly. When entering the parking lot and parking the odor of gas was strong. After walking around the vehicle a puddle of liquid was under the passenger side door area. After looking under the vehicle the underside was saturated with fuel. The fuel tank was now empty. The vehicle was 75 miles from a Nissan dealer so we towed it to a class A mechanic shop for repair. At the time we were thinking something just pulled apart like a connection. The mechanic put the vehicle on a lift and took off all the covers to explore and found the fuel line blew apart. I contacted a Nissan dealership which told me I would have to tow it to them which would be my cost. It is still at the mechanic shop and whenever Nissan finds a new fuel line it will be repaired. This vehicle is a 2021 and has 44000 miles this should not happen. Now it will be 3 weeks minimum to get this fuel line because the Nissan parts service cannot find the fuel line. I think Nissan needs to look into this issue because we had 4 people riding in the car the day before and if it would of blew out at that time and caused a explosion 4 lives could of been gone. Lucky the vehicle didn-??t ignite in this situation but I-??m sure it could very easily being close to the exhaust system.
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".
I contacted local Nissan Greenacres locate at, 5353 Lake Worth Rd Greenacres, FL 33463 (561) 899-4413 Refuge to do the service by saying they-??re busy and short handed.even though I schedule for the schedule ahead on line and received confirmation.
When we added gas, locked pump in gas door, when full it didn-??t kick off. The gas ran out inside to the wheel well creating a fire hazard, I took it in for my first servicing and they couldn-??t find a problem (I attached a copy of a recall for this years Rogue for this problem). 09-28-21, my 2021 (3,200 miles)Nissan Rogue stalled at the light, it wouldn-??t restart and we had to push it out of traffic. Nissan has been sued and recalled the Transmission for all there Models, I filed a complaint over my Nissan Altima having delayed excel-oration as complaints and with repeated class action suits known to Nissan. Nissan continues to put falty transmissions in there vehicles endangering lives.
Exiting a parking lot 6:45 pm 9/16/21, after braking and shifting gears from reverse to drive, the vehicle took off at top speed without my depressing the gas pedal. I negotiated a right turn with great difficulty because of high speed and pulled off to the side of the next block, braked hard, stopped, and turned off the engine. Each time I tried to restart the engine it roared into high speed (speedometer flew instantly to 140 mph) and the vehicle lurched forward without my touching the gas pedal. I repeated attempts at normal start several times; each time the roar and lurch recurred. I turned off everything and called a friend to pick me up. By the time she arrived about ten minutes later, I heard a loud pop/click in my otherwise totally silent vehicle and looked down to see the gas pedal rising up from the floor. I was then able to start it normally and drive a few blocks home to my garage. Today I have contacted a large dealership (not the smaller one where I bought this new vehicle off the showroom floor 6 months ago) to see if incidents similar to this incident had occurred with their customers. The receptionist canvassed 4 service techs who had heard of no such thing. (The last time this happened to my knowledge was with Lexus and Camry in 2007, when 5 people died in high speed highway crashes in California and the gas pedal assemblies were recalled. Toyota attributed the gas pedal malfunction to floor mats at the time. Congressional hearings were held.) The floor mats in my vehicle are rubber trays molded to the shape of the individual interior. They cannot move or impede the gas pedal in any way. My vehicle has been serviced by the dealership on schedule since purchase March 10, and the monthly vehicle report--testing conducted remotely--I receive by email finds nothing wrong with any component. However, the highly advertised safety and convenience features of this 2021 vehicle expired on September 10 and are now available only by paid subscription
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.
I had just filled up my tank and was leaving the local gas station. My car would not move. This was not the result of the gas I just put in it. Additionally, the electrical display on the dashboard was wreaking havoc. It told me to put my foot on the break to start my car, even though the car had to be running to have the blue tooth connected and me speaking on the phone with the car door wide open. Best of all, the assistance button to call for help, wouldn't work because it wouldn't start. The car has less than 3K miles on it, it had to be towed to the dealership. Because my car is so new I was told the part is on back order. They are waiting on a fuel pump in hopes of keeping the car running to find out what is causing the electrical issues. I waited 30 years to get a new car, and now I am afraid of it. Looking at the reviews and troubles other have had with theirs is disheartening.
A family member was driving at 65 mph a brand new 2021 Nissan Rogue with less than 3,000 on us rte 95 (4 lane highway) in waltham MA when the engine stopped running/ lost power and they were able quickly pull into breakdown lane. They exited the vehicle and climbed over the guard rail, called aaa and had it towed to the nearest Nissan dealer. The problem was diagnosed as a fuel pump failure due to an electrical problem. The dealer replaced the fuel pump.
