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for the Suzuki Equator, although the Xterra continued on sale in the United States and Canada through 2015 after being withdrawn from the Mexican market after the 2008 model year.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

- Components: STEERING,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE
- Summary: Car engine light came on and the vehicle automatically slowed itself down to 20 mph as I was in a 45 mph zone, with multiple traffic behind me. No warning!! 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

Vehicle year: 2020
The best thing about this car is its features, which are unmatched at this price point. It has all the important features such as electric and heated mirrors, heated steering wheel, all-around camera system, large screen, electric heated seats, driver electric seat multipoint adjustment, comfortable seats, split AC, GPS, and much more. The car is really packed with features that you won't find in any other car at this price point. I bought it with the winter package, which includes roof racks, LED lamps, and a shielded bottom. I'm still impressed with the car's features, and I'm sure you won't be disappointed either. The car also has AWD and electronic driving aids such as blind spot monitoring, which are really nice. Although there are a few cons, such as the weak acceleration due to the CVT transmission and the relatively small trunk size, the car is perfect for everyday commuting and provides a lot of comfort. If you're looking for a car that prioritizes comfort over speed, then this is the car for you. Good luck!

Vehicle year: 2016
We have had this vehicle for two months, and so far, more positive than negative. Exceptional gas mileage. Complaints on the car mostly concern its different transmission, the CVT. You just have to learn how to drive it. You won't win any drag racing from a stoplight, but normal driving, this transmission is really smooth. When starting from a standstill, accelerate as if an egg ere under your shoe. Gas mileage is about 26 around town. Very roomy especially back seat. Attractive interior, comfortable on long trips. Compared it to an Explorer which is 6 inches wider and 6 inches longer. Basically, it drives different and takes some getting used to.

UPDATE 3/24/24 - Congratulations to me! I have just hit 9 years of ownership with my Rogue and it has been a fantastic journey so far! With 96,000 miles on the clock, I have had no issues whatsoever, thanks to regular maintenance. Although I will need to replace the tires this year, I am confident that my Rogue will continue to run like a clock! UPDATE 3/24/22 - It's been 7 years since I bought my Rogue and it's still going strong! With 81,000 miles on the clock, I have had no problems so far, except for replacing the front brakes, which is a maintenance item. UPDATE 3/23/21 - My Rogue is still going strong and I recently replaced the battery at 74,000 miles. I am a happy camper and have had the best vehicle ownership experience! The mileage is now at 75,400 miles and I recently got the transmission drain and fill done at the Nissan dealership. UPDATE 9/20/19 - My Rogue is still going strong with no issues at 67,000 miles! UPDATE 3/20/19 - At 65,000 miles and with 4 brand new tires, my Rogue is still running smoothly. I recently had a 'courtesy' inspection performed where I get my oil change done and they said there were no issues with the car. Factory maintenance will be on my list next. ------------------------------UPDATE: I have now owned my Rogue for over 3 years and it has been a great experience so far! With 59,000 miles on the clock, I haven't had any issues, just regular maintenance, including oil change every 5,000 miles. I will be replacing my original rear tires before winter as they are worn out, but that will be it!------------------------------I have owned many vehicles in the past, but none have been as reliable as my Rogue. I bought the vehicle brand new from the dealership and, apart from synthetic oil changes every 5,000 miles, I have yet to change a thing in the vehicle! The interior is comfortable and the drive is smooth, although it could use a little bit of getup and go when needed. I am hoping to own this vehicle for many years to come!

Vehicle year: 2013
The 2013 Nissan Rogue has been a reliable car for me for the past 5 years. However, I have experienced some issues with the CVT struggling on hills and mountain terrain. Despite having an auxiliary transmission cooler, which I believe has helped with overheating, it has started leaking and needs to be replaced at only 40,000 miles. To improve the longevity of the CVT, I recommend having an extra cooler, but it is important to note that this may introduce the potential for leakage. The OEM tires did not last long and the body rattles underneath, but the cargo room and comfort are good. The SV/SL package options are also nice. Although there are blind spots, they can be easily overcome by adjusting mirrors and using the rearview camera. By following a rigid maintenance schedule and using full synthetic 5W30 engine oil, I have been able to maintain the car's good performance and fuel efficiency of about 25mpg. While I have lost confidence in Nissan due to the underpowered CVTs and lower quality parts, I am hopeful that with light use, I can get 100K out of this car.

Vehicle year: 2020
The car boasts excellent tech features such as the birds eye view, lane departure and blind spot warnings. There is also plenty of space inside for both long legged passengers and luggage, making it a reliable car even on long drives. However, it is worth noting that the interior materials, including the plastics and steering trim, are cheap. Additionally, the paint on the door ledge wears out quickly with normal use, which is unexpected from a quality brand. The mileage is about 23 mpg, but it can go as high as 33 on the highway without AC and with lots of downhill sections. The seat power panel is poorly designed and needs regular replacement. Finally, the dealer recommends unnecessary maintenance. Overall, it is a great car with some minor drawbacks.

Leased in Jan 2014. Experienced some issues throughout the year, including headlights needing adjustment on day 2 which was blinding for oncoming drivers, back windshield replacement due to a major leak in week 2, GPS/radio system change in month 2, air bag light turning on for a day in month 6 which eventually fixed itself, all air system being blocked with no air coming out in month 6 which fixed itself after 3 hours in temperatures over 90 degrees, shifter assembly breaking in month 12, seat assembly breaking on the driver's side in month 15, and CVT transmission grinding which required the replacement of the whole transmission in month 16. As the car approaches 40,000 miles, I have decided to get an extended warranty. It reminds me of my old Kia, and actually might be worse!

Our Rouge has experienced severe mechanical problems, including frequent bucking and jerking motions, as if the transmission was slamming into gear. Despite attempts to fix the issue at Auto Centers Nissan in Woodriver, Illinois, the problem persists. Even after consulting with Nissan's engineering department, only one other vehicle has ever exhibited these problems. Unfortunately, the issue has not been resolved and Nissan has refused to replace the vehicle. However, we remain confident in our assessment of the situation and will continue to pursue a resolution.

Hi there! I hope you're doing well. I wanted to share my experience with my car. I bought it used with 38000 miles on it and have been driving it for a bit over 2 years now, putting about 12000 miles on it each year. Unfortunately, the transmission needs to be replaced now that it has 64000 miles on it. The initial warranty expired after 60000 miles, but I found out that the Rogue's transmission had some issues from 2002-2010, which led to a class action lawsuit against Nissan. As a result, they extended the warranty on the transmission for those years to 120000 miles. Despite this setback, I still enjoyed my time with the car. However, I don't think I'll be buying another Nissan or any car with a CVT transmission in the future. Thanks for listening!

I have owned this car for seven months and unfortunately, I have had more problems with it in the last month alone than all my previous cars combined. Three weeks ago, I had the entire gear shift pop out of place and I couldn't shift out of drive. Luckily, the dealership was able to get me in that afternoon and fix the issue. This morning, I noticed that there is no audio in my car, even though the console is on and everything else seems to be working fine. While I understand that the lack of audio may seem like a minor issue, it is frustrating to experience so many problems in a brand new car. Despite these issues, I still love the way this car drives, handles, and its interior comfort. There are very few things I would change, but I hope that these problems do not continue to occur. If they do, I may have to reconsider buying another Nissan in the future and suggest that potential buyers approach the Nissan Rouge 2015 with caution.

I recently upgraded my car from a 2004 Honda CRV to a 2012 Nissan Rogue and I have noticed a significant improvement in side and rear visibility. Although the rear window is small and high, I feel much more confident when backing up. The cabin is typical, but retrieving items that fall between the front seat and console can be a bit of a challenge. However, the car has a huge glove box and console. The performance of the car is great and it runs and handles smoothly. I really enjoy driving it, except for when it comes to backing up. In comparison to my friend's 2012 RAV 4, the road noise is a bit more noticeable, but it's still a great car. The only downside is that the onboard spare limits the cargo space.
