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for the Suzuki Equator, although the Xterra continued on sale in the United States and Canada through 2015 after being withdrawn from the Mexican market after the 2008 model year.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.
- Body/Paint Issues: Customers have also reported body and paint issues in various model years of the Nissan Rogue. These issues can range from minor cosmetic defects to more significant problems that affect the vehicle's structural integrity.
- 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.
- Electrical Issues: Electrical problems, such as issues with the ignition key or engine harness damage, have also been reported by Nissan Rogue owners. These issues can lead to stalls or other unexpected vehicle behavior.
It is essential to note that the reliability of a vehicle can depend on various factors, including the specific model year, maintenance history, and usage patterns.

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)

- 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.

- 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

Vehicle year: 2023
Firstly, I want to mention that the Rogue may not be the best fit for aggressive drivers as it is not designed to be a high-performance SUV. While some reviews have mentioned issues such as uncomfortable seats, road noise, and poor performance, these are subjective and may not be a concern for everyone. It's important to note that what may be a negative for one person, may not be an issue for another. Personally, I find my Rogue to be very comfortable, quiet, and easy to drive with decent acceleration. In terms of gas mileage, I am averaging 35.9mpg on mixed driving and 25.5mpg in purely around town driving. On a recent trip, I achieved an impressive 47.2mpg with an overall of 42.4mpg. It's worth noting that I drive within the speed limit, avoid jack rabbit starts, and brake smoothly when coming to a stop. As a single driver, I opted for the FWD version as I didn't require AWD. If you're considering a Rogue, I recommend visiting a dealer and taking it for a thorough test drive to determine the pros and cons that matter to you. UPDATE... After 6 months of driving my 2023 Rogue, I still have not experienced any issues. While the Rogue may not be suitable for those accustomed to V6 or V8 performance, I find the turbo 3 cylinder rated at 201 horsepower to be more than sufficient for my driving needs. In fact, I am now enjoying driving the Rogue more than my previous SUV, thanks to its outstanding MPG and overall performance. I am averaging mid 30s in mixed driving and have achieved 47+ on strictly highway driving.I think the car is really quiet at highway speeds with no noticeable engine or transmission noise, or excessive wind noise. Of course, if you push the accelerator all the way down, you will hear engine noise. You will also hear engine noise when accelerating to pass a car on a two-lane road. However, I did not experience this on the interstate. The interior of my Rogue has real leather seats, not leatherette. The infotainment system is excellent and very responsive, with great sound quality. I have all my favorite music on a thumb drive and it works instantly when starting the car, which is a big improvement from my previous SUV. The steering has a very solid feel and is also very responsive. I also really like the 360-degree camera. The heads-up display on my Rogue not only displays the speed, but also the traffic speed limit signs and radar cruise information. Overall, I am still very happy with my choice.

Vehicle year: 2016
I've owned my Rogue for about 12 months now and have driven 13,500 miles, including two extended highway trips. The vehicle is doing great and I haven't had any troubles at all. I make sure to do routine 3,500 mile oil changes (recommended in our hot Florida weather) and tire rotations, but nothing else has been needed. The Rogue drives great, smooth as can be, and gets 26 mpg in town and 34 mpg on the highway. It's also extremely comfortable, especially the front seats, which is key for me since I have a bad back from an accident. The Rogue may not be the sexiest vehicle in the world, but in my view, it's an extremely comfortable, solid, and dependable vehicle that does everything I, as an average driver, need in a vehicle. I'm not going to win any drag races in it, and I'm sure that the folks at Car and Driver or Motor Trend don't like it, but for going to work and back, hauling the occasional bags of mulch from Home Depot, or driving the kids to college with all their junk, it works tremendously fine. I would purchase it again without question. As a guy who reads all of the professional car/SUV reviews, I can say that my experience with my Rogue is much more positive than what the reviewers say about the vehicle. I'm a male in my late 50s with a bad back from an accident and I went looking for a vehicle with the right height since I have trouble crouching down to get into many sedans or hopping up into most SUVs. After sitting in a significant number of vehicles, I found that the Rogue fit the bill perfectly. The height is just right for me to slide into, and the seats are extremely comfortable (I didn't believe the Nissan propaganda about zero gravity design seats until I sat in them). And despite what the professional reviewers say about the Rogue's driving, I love it. I recognize that I use my Rogue for what I think a typical driver would use it for. I drive a few miles each day back and forth to work, go around town on errands, and will hop onto the interstate occasionally to go visit someone.I'm not looking for a street racing machine, and I don't care if it doesn't corner at high g-rates. For typical, average everyday driving, the Rogue does wonderfully. It has plenty of pickup, and I don't get a horrendous 'drone' from the engine/transmission since I'm not trying to drag race down the street or into interstate on-ramps. It accelerates just fine. The ride is smooth and comfortable, maybe not to the standards of a 1980s Buick, but what SUV does? It's much smoother and more comfortable than the BMW and Mercedes SUVs that my friends drive for name recognition. There's lots of room inside, and it carries plenty in the rear. The A/C works great, which is key here in Florida. It handles my daily grind just fine. Are there things that I don't like? Sure. Nissan's Bluetooth connectivity is somewhat behind others. My iPhone connects perfectly to the other three cars in my family (Toyota, BMW, and Hyundai), but even the dealer can't figure out why the Rogue won't pull in my full address book for all voice recognition calls. Gas mileage is a bit lower than advertised. But the bottom line is that the Rogue handles my daily driving needs admirably well, and at a great cost (dealer hugely discounted off list price). I highly recommend the vehicle for anyone looking for comfortable, normal transportation. I will continue to read the professional car reviews, but now I recognize that their specific vehicle criticisms may not apply to a typical driver like myself.

I recently purchased the Rogue Platinum. It's such a comfortable car to drive and the handling is wonderful. There's plenty of interior room, which is great. I really appreciate all the safety features that the Rogue offers. The cabin has high-end features that exceed those of higher-end vehicles I've owned. Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase!

I've owned several CVT transmissions and have never had any issues with them. If you adjust your driving style, a CVT can work very smoothly. I recently purchased a 2020 Rogue SV and I'm really impressed with the useful features and sensible design choices made by the design team. It's a great all-round vehicle that comes with a lot of features.

Hi there! I hope you're doing well. I wanted to share my experience with my AWD SL 2014 Rogue that I bought in April 2014. Although it only has 4800 miles on it, I've had a couple of issues with the auto AC. I've been to the dealer twice to get it fixed, and while they did replace a seal on one visit, the AC still doesn't seem to be working efficiently. It takes a while to switch from recirculated air to outside air, even in mild climates like Maryland. During my last visit, the dealer said that the AC was working properly, but I'm not convinced. I've had several other vehicles with auto AC and never had this problem before. Recently, I've noticed that cool air comes out of the driver's side vents, but warm outside air comes out of the passenger side, even though both sides are set at 72 degrees. I'm planning on going back to the dealer again to get this issue resolved. Thanks for listening!
Are you having problems with your Nissan Rogue?

If you're considering buying a Rogue, I would like to share my experience with you. Unfortunately, I have been experiencing some major transmission problems after only 3000 miles, and I'm not alone. Many others have reported similar issues. Although Nissan is aware of the problem, they have not yet found a solution. If you already own a Rogue, you may have noticed a rattling noise when slowing down to less than 10 MPH. This noise may eventually occur at all speeds, as it has in my case. I hope this information is helpful to you.

We bought the new Rouge in April '08. At about 5500 miles we started hearing the "NOISE". The service tech couldn't hear it at first. I did get it to make the sound and he heard it. He then drove it and he said he got it to do it worse. They contacted Niaasn tech line. They said that they were aware of the problem. The sound got worse and at 6800 miles they replaced the Trans. This would be the second transmission being the first came in the car. Then at about 12000 miles it reappeared. they didn't hesitate to replace the trans. The service manager could only say that it "must" be fixed but he could not guarantee it is a fix. I'm sorry to say that the trans is already "grawling".

The drive shaft fell off due to a poorly made universal joint after 4 years and 120,000 miles. Unfortunately, Nissan only sells the entire drive shaft with the joint attached and not just the joint itself. Additionally, the transmission failed while driving with my children in the car, leaving us stranded on the road. Despite having followed Nissan's recommended servicing schedule, the warranty was no longer valid at 60,000 miles. However, I am confident that with proper maintenance, this issue could have been avoided.

I hope you're doing well! I wanted to share my experience with my new 2021 Nissan Rogue SV that I bought in June 2021. I was initially drawn to the beautiful exterior and interior design, as well as the affordable price compared to other brands. However, I have experienced some issues within the first two months of owning the vehicle. The infotainment touch screen has stopped working multiple times, but it starts working again after I restart the vehicle. Additionally, there was a loud noise from the engine or transmission while driving on the freeway, but thankfully that noise has gone away after restarting the vehicle. I'm a bit concerned about what might go wrong next, and I'm not feeling as confident in the Rogue's reliability for my family. Have you had any similar experiences with your vehicle?

I purchased my car in February 2014 with only 6,000 miles on it. Unfortunately, within 6 months, I experienced some issues with power loss and lagging while driving uphill. I brought it to the dealership, thinking it was a transmission problem, but they documented that the main complaint was not related to the transmission. They assured me that the transmission was fine based on their diagnostic machine, but I was still skeptical. On a trip from CT to PA, I experienced a loss of power with the gas pedal to the floor and had to pull over and let the car sit for a while. This only happened once, but a few months later, in warm weather, I could only drive for about 20 minutes before the transmission got too hot and I had to pull over again. I called the dealer back, even though I knew the warranty had expired, hoping to get some help, but unfortunately, they did not document my complaints about the transmission. I was very upset about this, especially since I still had 2 more years of payments left on the car. Last month, I decided to let them repossess the car. I didn't know at the time that I could have called Nissan, but now I know why the previous owner also let the car get repossessed. I will never buy another car with a CVT transmission, let alone another Rogue. Unfortunately, the car was auctioned off in New Jersey, and I feel bad for the next person who has to deal with that nightmare. I really wish I had read about the problems they had before I bought one.
