Problem overview

Some Nissan Rogue owners report experiencing issues with the engine shutting off while driving, despite the lights and radio remaining operational. This concerning problem can stem from a dead battery, potentially due to a charging system malfunction, which may lead to the engine shutting down unexpectedly. Additionally, stored trouble codes in the vehicle can provide insight into the underlying causes of the engine failure. Some owners also note that the engine may stutter momentarily, with RPMs dropping before the car resumes normal operation, often without any check engine lights or codes being displayed. It is crucial for owners to have their vehicle checked by a qualified mechanic to diagnose and address these issues, as Nissan dealers may cover such repairs under warranty. Prompt investigation is essential to ensure the safety and reliability of the Nissan Rogue.
