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for the Suzuki Equator, although the Xterra continued on sale in the United States and Canada through 2015 after being withdrawn from the Mexican market after the 2008 model year.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.

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.

- 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: 2017
Our 2017 Nissan Rogue SL AWD w/Platinum Reserve Package is an amazing car! We absolutely love it and think it deserves a much higher rating than just 3 stars. The Rogue exudes quality and truly feels like a luxury car in disguise - and like it should cost a LOT more than it does. We constantly get compliments from people around us who either just see it or ride in it. When people do ride in it, they come away supremely impressed and express interest in getting one - every single person who rides in it tells us they want the car...every-single-person...no exaggeration. And, as owners, we continue to be supremely impressed with it. There's a reason sales of the Rogue are exploding. It's a great SUV! We think it's better than the CR-V in every way. It's more comfortable, more soothing to drive, better-looking, just as roomy and spacious, and has a more flexible cargo system - not to mention having MUCH more comfortable seats and a smoother ride. Plus, Nissan always works with you to get a good deal, which is great. We admit that the Rogue could be a bit faster, but it's definitely not objectionable, in the least - and it gets up to speed on the highway just fine (in fact, many people ask if it has V6 since it gets up to speed so nicely). The Rogue's naturally-aspirated, 2.5-liter engine is a reliable workhorse that's been around for years, and it gets-the-job-done - and all with a pleasant, masculine growl when you lay into it. Also, the CVT now features If you want to experience gear shifts, consider getting a manual transmission. It's worth noting that many automakers, including Subaru, Honda, and Toyota, have followed Nissan's lead in producing their own CVTs, which Nissan pioneered over a decade ago. It's interesting to see that while Edmunds describes the Toyota RAV4's acceleration as 'average for the class,' they describe the Rogue's as 'slow for the class,' despite only a 0.1 millisecond difference between the two. As a human, it's unlikely that you would even notice such a small difference. It's possible that Edmunds is being biased. However, the Rogue handles very confidently and instills a sense of security. Does a car need to feel sporty to be considered good? Is it not good enough if it doesn't feel sporty? Do family cars and SUVs/crossovers need to feel sporty? Smoothness and comfort are also important factors to consider. Sometimes, automotive journalists can be too jaded and want everything to handle like a sports car. The fact is that the Rogue handles well and securely, and it's perfectly safe, especially for an SUV/crossover. Interestingly, the handling and performance numbers between all the competitors are so similar that it makes you wonder. It's worth noting that the Rogue is a very capable off-roader and performs exceptionally well in the snow. Its AWD system is only surpassed by stalwart AWD systems from Jeep and Subaru. It's surprising that there is little mention of AWD performance in these crossover reviews, despite all of them featuring AWD. AWD performance is an important feature to report on, and it's worth considering when making a purchase. Hello, Edmunds!The Rogue's AWD system is superior to the Honda CRV's system, as well as the RAV4's, CX-5's, and Escape's. The Rogue is a great SUV, and it's worth checking out and forming your own opinion. Don't let yourself be influenced by biased automotive journalists. Join the hundreds of thousands of satisfied Rogue owners and see for yourself why it's a great choice. ;)

Your wife was attracted to it and you were slow to warm up to it. Now you find getting in and out easy and the ride comfortable. It's peppy and has great fuel economy. The only drawback is that the driver's door (windows and locks etc.) are not illuminated. You love it. This is your first SUV because of the ease of entering and exiting it, and you're both 70.

Vehicle year: 2014
I am very pleased with my new '14 Rogue SL AWD and I absolutely love it! Nissan did an excellent job with this new redesign. I was a happy owner of a '11 Rogue SL AWD, but once I saw how nice this new model was, I decided to trade up! This new Rogue not only looks better inside and out, but it's also better in every way compared to the old one. It's good looking, comfortable, fuel efficient and very nice to drive. My favorite feature is the high build quality and luxurious feel of the car in general. It feels like I'm driving a $40K car. I'm receiving compliments on it everywhere I go. I highly recommend sitting in and test driving this car. You will be impressed!

Vehicle year: 2008
I really like this car, but the gas mileage is not great, which is to be expected given its size. Additionally, the gas tank doesn't have an inside release, so anyone could potentially siphon my gas. It's a shame that Nissan overlooked this detail. I ended up purchasing a locking gas cap to solve the issue.

Vehicle year: 2017
3/2/22 The Rogue is still on the road! It has held up okay. The issue with the vibration is still apparent at low to moderate speeds. However, it performs really well in the snow. Overall, not much has changed.9/1/21 The Rogue continues to run and is still a reliable car in all weather conditions. Unfortunately, it is still plagued by the Nissan Drone, which causes a slight vibration at certain speeds that can be felt through the steering wheel. Despite every attempt on my part, and assurances that it would become less prevalent over time, this issue persists. The average mileage has started to slip some in eco mode, now averaging about 24-26 MPG. Having driven cars with Apple CarPlay, the lack of this feature is noticeable. However, it was a good value for money at the time of purchase and continues to be reliable.2/28/21 The Rogue continues to run and is very reliable, especially in the snow. However, the vibration issue still persists between 32-42 MPH, even after putting on new tires. The mileage has not decreased despite age and more miles on the odometer, and the service has been good at the dealership. Although the lack of Apple CarPlay is still an issue, it is a comfortable car for both myself and passengers. The cargo space can be inconvenient due to the configuration, but it looks bigger than what it will actually hold. The remote start only works from a short distance and is basically line of sight as well. Despite these minor issues, I would still recommend the Rogue as a reliable car. Update 8/29/19 Edmunds asked for an update to the Rogue. It is still running well.The Rogue still has a vibration issue and the tech in the model and year I have is not great. However, it does have okay connectivity, and while it doesn't have Apple CarPlay, it does have other features. In everyday driving, gas mileage is around 23-24 in eco mode, but on straight highways, it can hit 26-28. The ride quality is a little stiff, but it's not uncomfortable even on long drives. The best quality of the Rogue is that it is great in the snow and can get through when more expensive cars can't. If you're considering buying one, make sure you test drive it at low speed. An update on the Rogue as of 8/28/18: the car is holding up well overall. Fuel economy is marginal even in econ mode, and the rear cargo area has protrusions for the shelf system that can make loading large objects difficult. The Bluetooth is spotty and slow to react to the controls on the steering wheel, but on the highway, it is a great car that is very comfortable and fairly quiet. When you test drive this car, please make sure you find a long test drive route where you can maintain 1,500 RPM. The CVT transmission causes a harmonic vibration in regular mode, which can be annoying. However, the steering wheel vibration is not uncomfortable. If a fix becomes available, Nissan will let you know. Overall, the Rogue is a good car that has some minor issues, but it's still worth considering.This feature is available on all Rogues, and you may have experienced it during your test drive.
Are you having problems with your Nissan Rogue?

The Nissan Rogue 2013 is a reliable car, but it is important to take care of it properly. In this case, the CVT blew after 4 months of use, which is an unfortunate situation. However, the issue was resolved by replacing the CVT for $4,300. It is important to note that this repair was done after the warranty had expired, but the dealership still honored it. Although there was some confusion with the paperwork, the issue was resolved satisfactorily. Overall, the Nissan Rogue 2013 is a great car that can be trusted if properly maintained.
Westley Goyette 2025-06-19

I noticed some issues with the interior ergonomics of this vehicle. The windowdoorlock switches on the door armrest are positioned a few inches too far back, making them difficult to operate without lifting your arm off of the door rest and reaching back. Similarly, the side view mirror adjustment switch is located under the dashboard, requiring you to lean forward to operate it. The lever to slide the seat forward and back is also a bit too far down and recessed. Additionally, the rear window is smaller and slanted, which makes visibility out of the rear window worse than most, especially since the rear of the vehicle is higher than the driver's position. Lastly, the cargo room is smaller than that of the RAV4 or Outlander. I have owned other Nissans and loved them, but unfortunately, the Rogue did not meet my expectations.

We rented a Rogue for a 4600 mile cross country trip. It was comfortable and had great leg room in the back, but unfortunately, the fuel consumption was only so-so, getting around 24 mpg. Additionally, the engine felt weak and struggled on mountain roads. The wipers were also not up to par, lacking the fast speed of other cars.

I have encountered several issues with my 2023 Rogue. Firstly, the radio stopped working after just three days of use. Secondly, the USB connections have been completely damaged. Lastly, water is leaking into the car from the roof, despite the fact that I do not have a moonroof. My car has been in the shop for four months now, but Nissan has provided me with a rental car during this time. Despite my loyalty to the brand, I cannot recommend this car to others. This is my seventh Nissan, but it will be my last.

The CVT cables were replaced at 24000 miles, as I initially thought it was the tires causing the vibration. However, the issue repeated at 32000 miles and the transmission had to be replaced. Despite being a new car when I bought it at 64 years old, there have been too many poor engineering decisions to list. For instance, the air conditioning dual climate doesn't offer max air, things get trapped under the front passenger seat which is almost impossible to get out, and the seats don't fold down level flat with gaps in between. Additionally, the emergency call button has been activated 3 times when not calling, and the width of the rear rail gate is narrow which is not good for cargo. The hood moves like it isn't shut on high-speed interstate driving over 60 mph, even though it is checked and confirmed to be shut. Therefore, I would not recommend this mid-size SUV to anyone looking for one.
