2024 Nissan Rogue engine problems

I am reporting a serious safety incident involving my 2024 Nissan Rogue, which caught fire after a history of shuddering, hesitation, and problems during acceleration. Prior to the fire, I brought the vehicle to a Nissan dealership multiple times because it had a recall and was shuddering during acceleration and at times felt as though it might stall. During these visits, the dealership performed recall related work, diagnostic testing, and repairs involving engine-related components.

The contact owns a 2024 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal sound and smoke coming from the exhaust pipes. The vehicle was driven to the shoulder of the roadway. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the used car dealer. The vehicle was diagnosed by an independent mechanic with engine failure. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was made aware of the failure.
