“I recently got a check engine on my vehicle I took it to the dealership and they're telling me it needs a fuel temperature sensor the vehicle only has 500 miles on it it's a new 2018 Nissan Rogue”

NHTSA complaint #11096669, filed 2018-05, 533 miles

“Vehicle transmission stutters and struggles to shift in higher gears. Occasionally knocks. The transfer case was faulty 3 months ago and broke/fell apart while I was driving down the highway. The vehicle almost lost control and the dealership said the transfer arm had snapped. The transmission still makes the same heavy knocking and occasionally 'slips' as the CVT transmission hesitates to shift. …”

NHTSA complaint #11384897, filed 2020-12, 55,000 miles

“While traveling at 35 MPH on a city street the crash avoidance system started beeping, the dash displayed warning icon and the vehicle braking system engaged with no obstruction anywhere near the front of the vehicle. Engagement was brief < 2 seconds and tapping the brake pedal cleared issue.”

NHTSA complaint #11316148, filed 2020-03, 46,000 miles

“Cvt. Rpms rising and falling without driver input, without any reason. This is a major hazard! Car fails to respond to gas pedal, causing serious hazardous issues entering traffic. Car loses power on highway. This is not safe!”

NHTSA complaint #11161838, filed 2018-12, 26,000 miles

“We have had a gas smell in our garage, outside the car and inside the cabin and inside our house since 2022 and the service technician confirmed it but said I'd have to pay $160 for them to diagnose it plus parts and labor to fix it. There are lots of Nissan Rogue gas smell in cabin complaints AND there is a class action lawsuit filed on the 2020-2023 models. I've seen the same complaints as far back as 2009 so they have been alerted and know about this faulty assembly problem for years and have not taken responsibility for fixing it. …”
