2018 Nissan Rogue Engine Problems

2018 Nissan Rogue. With just over 96,000 miles. I have been working on cars for 35 years and understand mechanics at a professional level. What component or system failed or malfunctioned?: Oil level sensor. Oil temp sensor. Knock sensor. Complete rod bearing failure. Outrageously high Oil temperature and Oil consumption. Rod Bearing started knocking. There were no warning lights or Low Oil level warnings. I was driving home from work yesterday and out of nowhere the rod bearing started knocking with no previous symptoms. I Immediately pulled over and checked the oil level. It was literally dry as a bone. It was so low I had to add 2.5 quarts to even show on the dipstick and 3.5 quarts to get it to acceptable levels. Not only did this literally ruin my engine, it's going to cost over $6,000 to repair. This is obviously related to the current lawsuit against Nissan for the exact same issue involving 2019-2026 models and should have also included 2018 models. This is an incredibly dangerous safety concern, as an unlubricated engine and/or overheated oil can cause total engine lock up and friction welding of internal engine components (which is what happened to me) can lead to serious accidents, stalls, and is a massive fire and explosion danger. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Not Yet Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? NONE! Vehicle is avaliable for inspection upon request: Yes

Engine seems very weak. Not enough power to safely pass on a highway. Absolutely gutless and sometimes upon acceleration and/or braking it jerks.

After driving for awhile it will take a minute once putting foot on the gas for car to take off at a traffic light. Also malfunction error comes up on dashboard and car starts to slow down and try’s to cut off. Have to pull over and turn off the car, wait for a few minutes then restart the car.

While driving on the highway at 75 mph my Nissan Rogue lost its ability to accelerate and maintain its speed while on cruise control. The CVT transmission has abruptly become faulty and now has internal issues according to Polo S Mechanic shop. This is a 6-year-old vehicle, and no warning signs were/are present. I would like this investigated.

My car has an engine issue at 45000 miles and needs a replacement of engine. My safety was put at risk because driving a car with engine issue is very dangerous with potential brake loss. This issue was diagnosed by the official dealership. The engine light was on.

The engine block cracked, and is available for inspection. Our family’s safety was in jeopardy because the engine block crack caused dangerous engine overheating. It could have caused a dangerous breakdown. Two independent mechanics have verified the problem, and identified it as pertaining to Nissan recall NTB20-25A, but Nissan has not included our vehicle in the engine recall. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone else other than the mechanics. The engine temperature display indicated the problem. We took the vehicle to the mechanic based on that warning sign. The problem first appeared around Jan 5th

Cut transmission

Vehicle failed to accelerate properly on an uphill incline. It felt as though it was stuck in a lower gear and unable accelerate due to gear change causing engine revving and shuddering. Very frightening experience which has now occurred twice.

THE VEHICLE STALLS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE AFTER A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP SIGN AND TRAFFIC LIGHT. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON AND OFF FROM THE YEAR 2020 UNTIL NOW, MARCH 22ND, 2021. THE ACCELERATION STALLS HAVE ALMOST CAUSED ABOUT THREE ACCIDENTS SO FAR IN BUSY INTERSECTIONS IN NORTH JERSEY. I HAVE BROUGHT THE SUV INTO NISSAN SERVICE CENTER THREE DIFFERENT TIMES AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS, 'SCANNED VEHICLE, NO DTC CODES FOUND AT THIS TIME NPF NO PROBLEM FOUND AT THIS TIME'. I HAVE MULTIPLE VIDEO DOCUMENTATION SHOWING A HIGH RPM OF 3-4 WHILE VEHICLE'S MPH IS BARELY PASSING 20MPH, RESULTING TO THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT APPEARING AND THE MALFUNCTION ERROR MESSAGE ILLUMINATING ON THE DASHBOARD.

The contact owns a 2018 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at 35 MPH, the vehicle inadvertently shut off and restarted independently. The failure occurred on two separate occasions. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.

NOT DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR FEW HOURS A LOUD KNOCKING SOUND COMES FROM ENGINE WHILE IDLING AFTER FEW MINUTES IT GOES AWAY. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP THEY CAN'T DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM.

WHEN DRIVING IN SNOWY CONDITIONS, THE AIR INTAKE FILTER CLOGS WITH SNOW RESULTING IN AN IMMOBILIZING LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. WHEN DRIVING FROM COLORADO SPRINGS CO TO LAWRENCE KS IN MARCH 2019 WHILE IT WAS SNOWING, WE LOST POWER AND HAD TO STOP THREE TIMES TO CLEAR THE SNOW FROM THE AIR INTAKE FILTER BECAUSE THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND COULD NOT ASCEND THE RATHER GENTLE HILLS IN KANSAS ON INTERSTATE I-70. THIS CAUSES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR TWO REASONS. FIRST, THE VERY SLOW MOVING OR STALLED VEHICLE CAUSES A HAZARD FOR THE OTHER TRAFFIC IS TRAVELLING AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS. SECONDLY, STOPPING ALONG THE HIGHWAY DURING SNOWY CONDITIONS TO CLEAR THE AIR FILTER PUTS THE OPERATOR OF THE STALLED CAR IN DANGER AS WELL. I HAVE DRIVEN MANY OTHER DIFFERENT VEHICLES IN SNOWY CONDITIONS AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THE 2018 NISSAN ROGUE SPORT HAS A DESIGN FLAW THAT ALLOWS THE AIR INTAKE FILTER TO EASILY BECOME CLOGGED WITH SNOW. THE ROGUE SPORT FUNNELS THE INTAKE AIR DIRECTLY FROM THE GRILL, WHILE OTHER VEHICLES SEEM TO HAVE PLACED THE AIR INTAKE IN A MORE PROTECTED LOCATION IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO HESITATE FORCEFULLY WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GARDEN CITY NISSAN (LOCATED AT 316 N FRANKLIN ST, HEMPSTEAD, NY 11550, (516) 483-4400) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT UNKNOWN SENSORS NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2019, THE VEHICLE SEIZED AND STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,200. *TT *AS

ENGINE HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING WHICH IS DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC.

I PURCHASED MY 2018 ROGUE SL AWD IN MID MARCH 2018 AND I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH ISSUES SINCE MARCH 27TH. THE FIRST ISSUE THAT I'VE NOTICED WAS A VERY MAJOR INCIDENT THAT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE (GOT VIDEO) THE (FEB) FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKING ENGAGED WHILE DRIVING LUCKILY NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE AROUND! ALLEGEDLY THIS ISSUE WAS RECTIFIED ON JULY 11TH! ALSO THE AUDIO SYSTEM DOES A RESET AND LOCKS UP MOST TIMES! I HAVE TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF TO GET IT TO WORK! THE WHEELS HAVE SPOTS ON THEM VERY NOTICEABLE WHEN THE SUN REFLECTS ON THEM (HAVE PHOTO) THE DEALERSHIP FIXED THEM LOOKS GOOD THEY CLAIM THEY BUFF THEM OUT BUT THEY LOOK BRAND NEW. I'VE BEEN IN A LOANER VEHICLE SINCE JUNE 27TH AND IT'S JULY 12TH 2017.5 ROGUE SL AWD I'VE NOTICED A HUGE DIFFERENCE ESPECIALLY IN MPG I'M CURRENTLY GETTING 28.9 MPG AND IN MY 2018 I'M GETTING AN AVG OF 24-25MPG WITHOUT A/C RUNNING! THE REASON WHY WE ARE GETTING LESS GAS MILEAGE IN THE 2018 AWD IS BECAUSE THE 4X4-I SYSTEM IS RUNNING 50% TORQUE ON REAR WHEELS LONGER THEN NEEDED! IN THE '17.5 IT RUNS 50% TORQUE IN THE FIRST GEAR UPON TAKE OFF AND THEN ADJUST AS NEEDED (SWITCH YOUR DISPLAY TO THE 4X4-I AND WATCH HOW LONG THE TORQUE IS USED ON THE REAR WHEELS)! ON A DRY SURFACE YOU DO NOT NEED THAT MUCH TORQUE THROUGHOUT THE OTHER GEARS! I POINTED THAT OUT TO THE TECHNICIAN AND HE GAVE ME A SLIGHT NOD! (THE ACCELERATOR SENSOR, YAW RATE SENSOR OR 4WD CONTROLLER MAY NOT BE WORKING CORRECTLY!) AND THE FINAL ISSUE IS THE ENGINE BRAKE IS NOT ENGAGING WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN TO BETWEEN 25 TO 40 MPH THE TECH ODOMETER SHOULD RISE UP TO 2 TO 4 RPM ACCORDING TO YOUR SPEED WHILE APPROACHING A STOPLIGHT OR STOPPING AND IN THE 2018 IT DOESN'T DO THAT IT RISES UP TO ABOUT 1.5 RPMS! YOU WILL PROBABLY NOT NOTICED THAT IF YOU'VE NEVER DRIVEN A NISSAN WITH A CVT IN IT! I HOPE THIS HELPS AND WE GET THE THESE FIXED! *TT *TR
