Pulled out into an intersection with limited visibility. Once I got into my lane I observed a car behind me that I had not seen. I tried to accelerate to avoid being hit. My car began making a knocking sound with loss of power. The other car went around me on the shoulder to avoid a collision. Infiniti of Birmingham (Alabama) says that one of the bearings in the engine spun and there is metal shavings in the oil pan. They say I need a new engine with only 68,000 miles. They are “unsure” if Infiniti will warranty the cost of repairs. Absolutely ridiculous! Please help!

Equipped with ProPILOT Assist and Intelligent Cruise Control inclusive of Lane Keep assist, traffic sign recognition, and Direct Adaptive Steering. Vehicle has just under 60,000 miles and still under warranty When in ProPILOT Assist/Intelligent Cruise Control, when hands leave the steering wheel, car failed to give a dash visual warning, sensory warning, or did not take control of the vehicle to bring it to a safe stop. This of course is a serious safety issue if the driver becomes incapacitated to the point of not being able to respond to the warnings. The car could obviously go through intersections without stopping or possibly get off course resulting in collision with other vehicles, structures or people. This first appeared on interstate highway travel on a trip to Florida in late November and bought in to Smith Infiniti of Hunstville, AL on [XXX] As of this date, [XXX], it has been in service department for nine (9) weeks with no correction of the failure. The dealer and Nissan technical representatives have attempted on numerous occasions and with numerous parts(some replaced 2 times) to fix.

Jan 25,2021 Highway 35 San Antonio Texas Display board lights turned off for a few seconds it made a click sound and the car turned off and turned back on for a few seconds, stalling the car. The automatic break was activated and deactivated at the same time. Trying to stop the car. This is the third time since octubre 2021 that this happens. My safety and the safety of the other drives was at risk, I can’t drive this car anymore because it may cause an accident. Approximate a month ago the car stoped in the middle of Stone Oak street in San Antonio Texas. I put the car in reverse and the car started working again. I took the car to the agency I was without a car for Several days because the agency doesn’t have a car available for rent. They could not find the problem of the computer glitch. Please the maintenance records for more details.

While driving vehicle, randomly vehicle brakes are applied on their own, causing vehicle to suddenly slow down in traffic. Red warning light appears on the dash. This has occurred 6-7 times over the past 2 years. 3 of the times occurred on the interstate, causing vehicle to drop speed from 60-40 within few seconds. The other 3-4 times have occurred while driving underneath a light rail walk way and an underpass. Most recent incident was 12/25/21 on interstate. I am concerned this will contribute to a car crashing into the rear of my car. I had vehicle checked by my dealer today 1/7/22, and they were unable to duplicate the issue. They have submitted a report to Infiniti. I was unable to upload the documentation from Mike Ward Infiniti

Day 1 noted car was having issues with irregular RPM's while cruising, and spiking of rpm's during acceleration. while on hwy w/ cruise control activated, "malfunction" warning lit on screen and forward propulsion ceased. had to move car to roadside, turn off engine and turn back on. took to dealership. they inspected vehicle and indicated there were no codes in system and with checks nothing to indicate any issues. they reset computer systems. drove home noting that the issue did not seem to be resolved. Day 2 same issues. Issues with reverse (seemed car strained to reverse). Wife noted that vehicle seemed to lose power on hill and struggled to get over 25 mph even with pedal to floor. Later in day car continued to have similar issues with strange fluctuation of rpm's even while idling, high revving of engine during acceleration that caused jerkiness, and when changed to manual transmission mode, high revving in 2nd gear with no accompanying acceleration. Day 3 similar issues. Arranged to take car to shop. Day 4 on way to shop, same issues. On a moderate hill, car appeared to go into limp-home mode. After stopping and restarting car, CVT Malfunction warning light came on. Note I've had this car 8 months and it has only 16,000 (about 10k since purchase).

1PE23023 · Complete Loss Of Motive Power Due To Engine Failure
Opened Dec 13, 2023 · Closed Jul 18, 2025
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Engine; Engine And Engine Cooling; Engine And Engine Cooling:engine:hard Parts Internal/mechanical
On December 13, 2023, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened PE23-023 to investigate allegations of engine failures leading to loss of motive power in model year (MY) 2021-2023 Nissan Rogue; MY 2019-2021 Nissan Altima; and MY 2019-2021 Infiniti QX50 vehicles. At that time, ODI had received 6 Vehicle Owner Questionnaires (VOQ) and multiple early warning reports, with consumers reporting engine knocking noises accompanied by a loss of engine power while driving. The investigation identified bearing failures in certain vehicles equipped with the subject 3-cylinder 1.5L or 4-cylinder 2.0L variable compression turbo (VC-Turbo) engines. ODI also identified early warning reports describing thermal incidents that occurred immediately after the vehicle suffered a catastrophic engine failure. The failures were the result of a manufacturing defect in specific engine bearings (main, A-, C-, and L-link) or other engine components that may cause engine damage and potentially lead to engine failure. Engine failure can result in a loss of motive power event that can increase the risk of a crash. Engine failure might also result in a fire if internal components detach and impact the engine block creating a hole that allows engine oil to reach hot surfaces. In its April 2024, May 2024, and June 2025 responses to ODI’s information requests, Nissan provided 998 customer reports (including complaints, field reports, and legal claims) and 1,107 warranty claims related to the alleged defect. When combining ODI and manufacturer report data, there are 1,878 unique VINs that have experienced failures across all subject vehicles. In one of the early warning reports, ODI identified an incident involving a 2022 Infiniti QX55 that resulted in an engine fire following an alleged engine failure. The 2022 Infiniti QX55 was not included in the scope of this investigation but the vehicle model shares the same 4-cylinder 2.0L variable compression turbo engine. Based on the information included with the early warning report, the fire can be directly related to the alleged defect. A further review of ODI and manufacturer data, identified 12 allegations of engine compartment fires in subject vehicles; three were confirmed as directly related to the engine failure, and nine reports described an under-hood fire that occurred following a loss of power event. Additionally, ODI identified multiple reports describing an engine block crack or hole surrounded by oil residue following an engine failure. On June 27, 2025, Nissan submitted recall 25V-437 involving 443,899 MY 2021-2023 Nissan Rogue, MY 2019-2021 Nissan Altima; MY 2019-2021 Infiniti QX50; and 2022 Infiniti QX55 vehicles. The recall remedy provides the dealer instructions to inspect the engine oil pan for the presence of specific metal debris. For customers with the 3-cylinder 1.5L VC-Turbo engine, if no debris is detected during the inspection, dealers will replace the oil pan gasket, engine oil, and reprogram the vehicle’s Engine Control Module (ECM). For customers with the 4-cylinder 2.0L VC-Turbo engine, if no debris is detected, dealers will replace the engine oil. In the case where specific debris is detected and confirmed by Nissan Powertrain Call Center, dealers will be instructed to replace the engine. In addition, Nissan will extend the vehicle warranty to 10 years and 120,000 miles for the recall subject vehicle population after the dealer performs the inspection. Nissan has implemented multiple corrective actions to address the identified manufacturing defects of certain engine block internal components. In view of the recall action (25V437) taken by Nissan, ODI is closing this Preliminary Evaluation. The agency reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances.
