Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My vehicle would be working and running fine for a little bit but after driving it for a while, my A/C would stop blowing cool air. It would be blowing cool air at first and then start blowing hot air and then my car would start to overheat afterwards. I mostly have this problem when my car is stopped for a while or not going above 40 MPH. I went to the Nissan dealership to get it checked out and they said the problem was the cooling fan. My car is practically brand new. I bought it brand new in february of 2018. …”
NHTSA complaint #11340456, filed 2020-07, 48,000 miles“I reported to my dealer that my 2017 rogue sport has been overheating and they stated that they were aware of an issue with the radiator fan. The car will be fine while driving, but if idle or in stop and go traffic, the engine will overheat. I am unable to use my car without fearing for it, shaking and overheating during warm weather if I am not constantly driving.”
NHTSA complaint #11610560, filed 2024-08“My vehicle’s engine will shut off while driving and I don’t know what the cause is. There are no vehicle warnings such as a check engine light to let me know a problem exists. I am terrified that my car will shut off with my child and his friends in the car.”
NHTSA complaint #11653571, filed 2025-04“My vehicle has stalled twice now while I am driving. The dash lights all turn off and the car just stops going. Once it stops, I can’t start the car unless I physically remove the key, put it in park and start the car again”
NHTSA complaint #11485493, filed 2022-09“My car overheated. when I took it to my mechanic, he let me know my cooling fan assembly needs to be replaced, there is not a single cooling fan assembly for a 2017 Nissan rogue sport SL available in the continental US. Nissan has no idea when they will have the part available again, and neither do any of the aftermarket vendors such as AutoZone. This leads me to think that every single rogue in the country has had a problem with the cooling fan. I understand supply chain issues, but this is ridiculous.”
