I bought my daughter a new 2023 Rogue SL in June-2023 at our local Nissan dealership in Concord, CA. On July 2, 2025 the car's engine completely cut-out on the I5 Grapevine on a trip to L.A. Fortunately, my daughter was able to coast to the far lane and call AAA for a tow to the Valencia dealership. There the service rep told her that two other Rouges had also been towed off the Grapevine that day. They kept the car for a couple days and replaced the engine oil temp sensor which got her back home.
On July 25, 2025 the engine again completely cut-out while my daughter was crossing the Martinez/Benicia bridge on her way to work. More fortunate than the July 2 incident, my daughter was able to coast off the bridge via an offramp in Benicia. Once again AAA came to the rescue towing the car to the Concord dealership where it now sits for evaluation. The service department told me that they need to bring in a high-level mechanic to go through not only this engine but several other Nissan and Infiniti engines. Apparently, Nissan just put out a recall on 444,000 cars with similar engine issues and no remedies currently available.
Needless to say, both of these instances placed my daughter in extreme danger and for the grace of God she came through without injury. Having an engine cut out on a freeway twice in one month is absolutely unacceptable. Consequently, while I'm waiting to hear back on a plan of action from the Concord dealership, I'm in the process of seeking legal counsel to fully explore my legal and recourse rights.
