Nissan Rogue problems
The Nissan Rogue is a compact crossover SUV produced by the Japanese automobile manufacturer Nissan. It made its debut in October 2007 for the 2008 model year. Beginning in 2013 for the 2014 model year, the model has been merged with the X-Trail sold outside the North American market, making them identical. It is currently Nissan's best-selling vehicle in the United States.
As of 2023, the Rogue was manufactured at the Nissan Smyrna Assembly Plant in Tennessee, United States and at the Nissan Motor Kyushu plant in Kanda, Fukuoka, Japan. Between August 2014 and March 2020, it was also built at the Renault Samsung Motors plant in Busan, South Korea under contract.
First generation (S35; 2007)
The first-generation Rogue made its debut at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit on 7 January 2007. It replaces the Nissan X-Trail in Canada as Nissan's entry-level SUV and the body-on-frame Nissan Xterra in Mexico due to the Smyrna plant freeing capacity for the Suzuki Equator, although the Xterra continued on sale in the United States and Canada through 2015 after being withdrawn from the Mexican market after the 2008 model year.
The first-generation Rogue was available in three trim levels in the United States: S, SV and SL, available with front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive.

Common Nissan Rogue problems
The Nissan Rogue is a popular compact SUV, but like any vehicle, it has its share of common problems. Here are some of the most frequently reported issues based on complaints from owners:
- Incorrect Fuel Level Reading: A faulty sensor in the gas tank can cause the fuel gauge to read incorrectly. This problem has been reported by 191 owners and typically occurs after an average of 62,370 miles. The repair involves replacing the fuel level sending unit, which can cost between $1,261 and $1,354.
- Check Engine Light with Error Code P0444: This issue has been reported by 34 owners and is often caused by a broken wire at the canister purge volume control solenoid valve. The problem typically appears around 88,935 miles of driving. Nissan offers a kit to repair this problem.
- Sunroof Not Closing Completely: The sunroof of the Nissan Rogue might not close completely due to interference from the original factory wind deflector. This problem has been reported by 21 owners and generally appears after 44,055 miles of driving. A revised wind deflector can correct this issue.
- Transmission Failures: Customers have reported transmission failures in various model years of the Nissan Rogue. The unloved CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) results in plenty of engine drone and can cause a sudden loss of acceleration. This issue has been particularly prevalent in the 2013 model year, with many customers reporting significant repair costs.

- Engine Acceleration Problems: Some owners have reported issues with engine acceleration, including sudden loss of power. This issue has been reported for various model years, including the 2018 Rogue, and can be caused by different factors, such as problems with the forward collision avoidance system or the CVT.

A hazard sign lit and the MIL lit up, saying there is an emissions control system malfunction and to immediately take the car to a repair station. NissanConnect also sent me a text at 5:12 Saturday night, all repair stations closed.

Nissan Rogue 2021
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-19
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-20
- VIN: 5N1AT3BB9MC
- Components: STEERING
- Summary: The assessment is I was simply driving down [XXX] where I live, and my car started this horrible wobbling in the front end and I couldn't control the steering wheel. I was able to safely get the rogue pulled over to the side of the road. I got out upon looking at the car, I couldn't see anything wrong on the outside. But, upon further examination, I got down and laid down and looked under the car, it revealed that the driver's side inner tie rod had snapped in half. This is not normal being my car only has 46k on it. I called my brother in law who is a mechanic and sent him pictures of it and he confirmed it was the tie rod. So I started googling to find a replacement and low and behold, Nissan is under investigation for this problem happening in the 21 Nissan rogues to ike I have. I called suntrup Nissan where I had purchased the car in May and was basically told by the parts dept there, that there was nothing they could do to help me because they wouldn't even be able to get the part for at least two months. I find that ridiculous. Nissan doesn't even manufacture parts for their own vehicles they sell.. my brother in-law searched until he finally found a place in China that makes them for this model and mwe have one ordered 103.00 for the tie rod. I couldn't find where my car was in the recall but I feel so should be because it's the same problem they are under investigation for. I cannot afford to have my car looked at at a dealership, because I already pay 600. Month. For the car and I don't have extra money laying Round. nd the dealer already basically told me don't know what to tell you cause we wouldn't be able to fix it.. so I need to know what do do to at least be reimbursed for the labor I've had to pay someone to look. At this and for the part and then changing it.. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Nissan Rogue 2018
- Date Of Incident: 2024-06-09
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-19
- VIN: KNMAT2MT4JP
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE
- Summary: Engine burning oil and leaks. Only 62,000 miles. Car accelerated when brake was being applied
Nissan Rogue 2023
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-13
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-18
- VIN: JN8BT3DD9PW
- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: Our 2023 Nissan Rogue with only 15,000 miles suffered complete engine failure (engine seized) driving on busy [XXX] passing through Baltimore. The safety of myself and my family was put at risk, and if we hadn't been in the left lane (allowing rapid access to the breakdown lane) we would have been in a multi-car pile-up going at high speeds. Afterward, my safety was at risk waiting for 5h on the busy highway waiting for a tow truck. There was a slightly rough engine sound just 15-30 minutes prior to the engine seizure, but no warning messages. The only message that appeared was "Engine Failure" at the moment the engine seized. The car was towed to the local Firestone Service station where they confirmed engine seizure with normal oil levels. We do not know if the oil had been compromised by infusion of gasoline (as we have now discovered is a problem with the Nissan Rogue engine). The car was subsequently towed to Bob Bell Nissan in Baltimore, and they have yet to inform us of their conclusions after 5 days. Route 9 Nissan in Westborough (where we bought the care) did not inform us that this was a potential problem nor that it is under investigation by the NHTSA.

- Date Complaint: 2024-10-18
- VIN: JN8BT3BB6PW
- Components: STRUCTURE
- Summary: Nissan put faulty roof rack seals on my vehicle. This is the same issue as they had in 2021 when they issued a service bulletin. They are willing to fix the roof rack seals but not replace the headliner. This has caused an unhealthy musty smell in the cabin and a big stain on the headliner and A-Pillars. Nissan corporate will not cover the cost of a new headliner and A-Pillars but can’t guarantee a stain free headliner to pre-stain condition

I previously owned a Nissan Altima before switching to the Rogue and overall, I really enjoyed that car. However, I did experience some issues with the front end struts making squeaking noises in my 2005 model. I thought it was just a rare issue, but unfortunately, my 2016 Rogue started making a popping noise in the front wheels area when I turn the steering wheel at around 500 miles. Nissan has acknowledged that it is a manufacturing defect in the struts and they are currently working on a solution. Although I have already had one of the front struts replaced, the issue has actually gotten worse. At this point, I am looking at having to replace a front strut every 1,000 miles on average. While Nissan has assured me that it is not a safety issue, I do find it concerning that they do not seem overly concerned with finding a solution. Additionally, I have noticed that the paint on the wheels started coming off within the first month and the vehicle is prone to scratches and scars. Fortunately, I leased the vehicle instead of buying it outright, so I will only have it for a few years. I doubt that I would be able to sell this Rogue, as the popping noise is quite noticeable and would likely deter potential buyers.

We were also considering the Mazda CX-5, but we ultimately chose the Nissan because it is very easy for my aging in-laws to get in and out of the back seat. The Mazda had a much narrower door opening, and the back seat is slightly elevated, making it harder for passengers in the back to see. Although the driving experience isn't as sporty as the Mazda, we really like the CVT transmission and are impressed with the fuel economy around town. All of the buttons are in the right place, and we love the look of the beige interior.

If you are considering purchasing a Nissan Rogue manufactured before 2013, please be cautious. I had a negative experience with one that I purchased for $6500 with 88k miles. Despite having a recall fixed to prevent an electrical fire, it still caught on fire. After researching, I found that there are over 500,000 complaints about random electrical fires in Nissan Rogues. Unfortunately, Nissan will not reimburse you for any damages caused by these fires. Additionally, the car is not the best performer on hills or highways and can be a rough ride. However, it does perform decently in the snow if you activate the AWD. Please note that the AWD has a trial period and may turn off without your control. Please consider these factors before making a purchase decision. Thank you for your attention.

I purchased my 2013 Nissan Rogue brand new with the expectation that it would last me a long time. Unfortunately, I experienced some issues with the car early on, such as shaking and jittering, which made me concerned about its safety. Despite bringing it to the dealership, they assured me that everything was normal. However, over time, I had to replace the AC compressor and eventually the engine. Recently, while on a trip, I encountered an issue with the cruise control and the car's speed. After checking the oil and transmission fluid, I brought it to the dealership and was informed that I needed a new transmission. It has been a frustrating experience, but I am hopeful that the dealership will be able to resolve the issue. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

After reading lots of reviews, we decided to purchase a fully loaded Nissan Rogue. Although it seemed nice during our initial test drive, we have since driven the SUV for 12,000 km and have noticed some issues. The paint appears to be of lower quality and the flap cover over the spare wheel in the trunk makes a lot of annoying noise, similar to the sound of empty utensils. When we brought this to the attention of the dealer, they explained that this is a common issue due to the rubber knobs shrinking in cold temperatures. However, we believe that the flap cover is actually loose and not tied down by screws, which is a quality issue that Nissan should address. Despite these issues, we still believe that the Nissan Rogue is a good SUV, but we do regret not considering other options such as the VW Tiguan or Rav4 before making our purchase.
Lloyd Hayes 2024-11-22
Vehicle year: 2014
I purchased my car brand new in 2014 and after 4 years and 64k miles, unfortunately, the transmission failed. When I took it to the dealership, they informed me of two recalls that I was not previously aware of, one for the airbag and one for the transmission. Although the NTSA website only showed the airbag recall, the dealership was able to perform the transmission recall. Unfortunately, this did not fix the problem. However, after filing a complaint with Nissan USA, they were able to cover 90% of the $4600 replacement cost, as the warranty only covered up to 60k miles. Although I was disappointed that the dealership did not provide a loaner car during the major repair, I was grateful that I was only responsible for 10% of the cost, as well as the dealership diagnostic fees and car rental. Despite some issues with rattling and plastic pieces breaking, I am hopeful that the new transmission will last for 200k+ miles like other modern cars. While this is my third Nissan, it may be my last due to these issues. However, I am grateful for the positive experience I had with Nissan USA in resolving the transmission issue. Update 1/5/19 - Edmunds requested an update to my review. Since replacing the transmission, I unfortunately experienced an alternator failure while on vacation, which cost around $900 to repair, as well as the cost of extending our vacation by two days at summer hotel rates in a beach town. However, the car has not broken down in the past 5 months, which is a positive sign. My opinion of Nissan continues to be mixed.

I was considering purchasing one of these cars before renting one. However, I found that the interior lacked shoulder and seat space, and the cup holders were in an awkward spot that required me to bend my arm in an uncomfortable way to reach my drink. Additionally, I think it needs more USB ports. The drive train is quite loud and sounds like it should be racing around, but in reality, it barely moves. The car is also extremely underpowered, and the wind bounces you around more than you would expect in a vehicle like this. Furthermore, the car feels like it could go out of control very quickly. While the steering wheel is great if you have long fingers, I personally struggle to grasp the size and slickness of the wheel.
