Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When driving the car would start shaking and making funny noises in the back. The car eventually would not accelerate and started smoking. Took it the dealer was informed it had a broken axle and also has coupler issue. I had the axle replaced. But it still shakes and makes noises when turns are made. I was informed by a Nissan mechanic this is a common problem in the Rogue.”
NHTSA complaint #10919980, filed 2016-10, 71,999 miles“Very loud knocking noise from front end when going over any bumps other than a smooth road. Coming from front passenger side. The steering is still ok. The engines is running fine. The noise is metal on metal like someone hitting it with a hammer. Noise started about beginning of april and has been getting louder and louder. Today's date is april 23. Almost like a rubber bushing fell off and not the joint is metal on metal.”
NHTSA complaint #11089797, filed 2018-04, 85,000 miles“The passenger side Air Bag indicator has been on since 2019, was not aware I could report it here. I have not taken it to a Dealership because I can't afford to have it fixed. In 2018, I had to replace the CV joint and front rocker arms. A piece was cracked, and when I would turn I would hear a loud POP & TICKING sound from the front passenger side tire area. Again I paid over 1500.00 to have it repaired, I no longer have the photographs or the actual parts.”
