“I had to replace my cooling system (fan, radiator, hoses, coolant) on this car after driving it only 30K miles. This led to over heating the car engine and stopped working because of that.. I was told by Nissan dealer it stopped working and they are seeing many of those issues related to the same car that I have. It costs me $1500 to replace it.”
NHTSA complaint #11681214, filed 2025-08“My car just made 50k miles and the cooling fan has gone out. A google search for a more reasonable replacement option (I was quoted almost $1100 for parts and labor) led me to a message board of other owners with the same issue and a class action lawsuit against Nissan. If this is indeed a widespread and known issue, Nissan needs to own up to it and make it right.”
NHTSA complaint #11612156, filed 2024-09“The cooling fan has gone out in my 2020 Nissan rouge sport and I cant not order the parts to fix my car because they are not released by nissan I even took it to the nissan dealership and they told me the same thing the parts are not out I need a vehicle to go back and forth from work what am I I supose to do if I cant properly fix my nissan 2020 rouge sport”
NHTSA complaint #11429983, filed 2021-08“I have a 2020 Nissan roque sport with under 70K miles. Started experiencing loud shaking and rattle when turning off car, seems to be the radiator cooling fan. There is a current class action lawsuit but no official recall. If i turn off A/C 2 minutes before getting to park and turn off car it does not rattle when i turn off i believe it does shake and rattle but with engine running do not feel it. No warnings or engine lights come on, the temparature of car does not rise past 1/2 point.”
NHTSA complaint #11750378, filed 2026-07“Cooling fan stopped working. I was told by the Nissan dealership this is a big issue with this specific vehicle and that it’s hard to get the part because this is always an issue. No messages appeared. My AC stopped working and I took it to the dealership were they said if I drive with the cooling fan broken it will explode. How is this not a recall? This has been reproduced by ALL Nissan dealerships and the Nissan dealership is who told me this and diagnosed my car.”
