Please explain! Hi bobbyd, the U.S. market Nissan Rogue uses a conventional non-hybrid powertrain (KR15DDT engine with CVT). The Nissan Qashqai e-POWER sold in Europe and Australia uses a series hybrid configuration that combines KH5T engine (similar to KR15DDT but with lower power rating) and synchronous AC motor with a fixed ratio "transmission". I think this is what jpd80 referenced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyd Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Rperez817, thanks for your response and the information. I initially was thinking that since both 1.5 Litre 3 cylinder engines were new and 'somewhat similar ' that Ford engineers might look for distinct differences and possible considerations to what might be causing the fuel injectors to crack in the Escape. I know Ford uses Vitesco and Nissan uses Denso fuel injectors. Anyway, I was brainstorming and hope they resolve the issue over time. I would love to hear they discovered it was simply some poorly produced injectors affecting only a certain/limited batch....rather than continuing with a drain tube. Again, thanks for your help! 1 hour ago, rperez817 said: Hi bobbyd, the U.S. market Nissan Rogue uses a conventional non-hybrid powertrain (KR15DDT engine with CVT).

Speaking of that something, things keep getting worse for the Ford Fiesta and Focus customers whose DPS6 equipped cars are effectively unfixable shitboxes. Ford Fiesta, Focus Owners Still Face Infuriating Waits for Fixes (caranddriver.com) Trouble over Ford's infamous PowerShift transmission continues to haunt the automaker. As the Detroit Free Press reported this week, many current owners of 2011–2016 Fiesta and 2012–2016 Focus models still afflicted by problems are furious. Their frustration over delays in getting a fix for their cars is understandable, given that several told the Free Press they've waited multiple months for their gearboxes to get fixed. Highlighting more than two dozen experiences, the newspaper cites months-long wait times and claims that Ford is ignoring customers seeking updates on the status of their repairs. Back in 2019, the paper also reported claims that some Ford dealerships were declining to repair their defective transmissions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
