2024 Nissan Rogue Problems

What owners report

Complaints on the 2024 Rogue center on two things: a recurring "Engine Malfunction – Power Reduced" message that can put the vehicle into limp mode, and spontaneous shattering of the rear liftgate glass while parked or driving. Infotainment and backup-camera blackouts, plus occasional transmission shuddering, come up often as well. Reported mileages range widely, from a few hundred miles to over 90,000, so these are not exclusively low-mileage problems.

   Engine malfunction / reduced power and limp mode

   • 58 complaints (26%)
   • median 38,611 mi at 2.4 yrs old (12 state mileage)
   • 2 mention a crash, fire or injury
   • owner-quoted repair $2,200 (median of 5 quotes)
   • filed 2024–2026

   Owners describe a "Engine Malfunction – Power Reduced Service Now" message appearing on the instrument panel, sometimes followed by the vehicle losing power, shaking, stalling, or dropping into limp mode while driving. Some report that the message appears intermittently and clears after restarting, while dealers were unable to reproduce it or retrieve stored codes. In other cases dealers diagnosed throttle body failure, turbocharger failure, internal engine damage, or a cracked engine block, and in several cases replaced the engine. Reported from a few hundred miles up to roughly 95,000 miles, with many complaints between 20,000 and 66,000 miles.

   What to check: Ask whether the vehicle has had the engine-related recalls performed and whether any throttle body, turbo, or engine work has been done. Have a pre-purchase inspection pull stored codes and check for the throttle body and engine oil condition.

   Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors)

   Rear window / liftgate glass shatters

   • 80 complaints (36%)
   • median 29,849 mi at 2.5 yrs old (4 state mileage, few)
   • filed 2025–2026

   Owners report the rear liftgate glass shattering with a loud bang while the vehicle is parked, sitting in a driveway, or being driven, with no impact from another vehicle or object in most accounts. Several mention it happening around the time the rear defroster was used or after a temperature change. Dealers and the manufacturer were often contacted, with owners reporting that repairs were quoted as out-of-pocket expenses and that broken glass left inside the liftgate can interfere with the latch or locking mechanism. Described across a broad mileage range, including vehicles with only a few thousand miles and others past 50,000.

   3 related service bulletins

   What to check: Inspect the rear glass closely for edge chips, star cracks, or prior replacement, and check that the liftgate opens and latches smoothly with no loose glass rattling inside. Ask whether the rear window has ever been replaced.

   “The rear windshield in the liftgate shattered while parked in front of my apartment without any possible object that might cause the breaking of the glass. Currently there are still some shattered glass inside the liftgate which the Nissan and AutoGlass company can't totally remove and sometimes causes me some headache because the liftgate won't open.”

   NHTSA complaint #11722456, filed 2026-03

   “The back window randomly exploded while I was taking my children to school and there are MULTIPLE complaints of the same issue but NISSAN hasn’t issued a recall yet. My children could have been cut or injured yet I am somehow responsible for a window exploding on its own all because I used the defoggers. That is not safe AT ALL.”

   Electrical system

   Infotainment and backup camera screen blackouts

   • 37 complaints (17%)
   • median 49,000 mi at 2.4 yrs old (12 state mileage)
   • filed 2024–2026

   Owners describe the center display going black or freezing intermittently, which also takes out the backup camera image, navigation, and phone connectivity. Some report the rearview image failing to appear when shifting into reverse, and others mention CarPlay and Bluetooth dropping or the outside temperature reading incorrectly. Dealers were reported as unable to find a fix in some cases, while others were told a software issue exists but no remedy was available. Reported at low mileage, including vehicles with only a few thousand miles, and continuing at higher mileage.

   Recall 24V7480003 related service bulletins

   What to check: With the vehicle in reverse, confirm the backup camera displays reliably, and cycle through the touchscreen, CarPlay, and Bluetooth to check for freezing or blackouts. Ask whether the 24V748000 rear-visibility software recall was performed.

   “The Infotainment system goes black intermittently & frequently- When this occurs, there is no access to any cameras and if it occurs while backing out, the mirrors self-adjust down (for the camera?) and therefore, you are unable to even user your sideview mirrors. I have contacted Nissan Corporate-they deny any issues but the local dealership told me there is a software problem similar to the 2022 issue (recall) but there is no solution because this is a new problem with 2024.”

   NHTSA complaint #11590429, filed 2024-05

   “The rearview backup camera intermittently fails, displaying a solid black screen when shifted into Reverse, creating an immediate backover hazard in direct violation of FMVSS 111. The infotainment system is confirmed stuck on factory launch firmware SQ3A.220705.003.A1. This failure exactly mirrors NHTSA Recall 24V-748 (Nissan Recall R24B3) for 2024 Rogues. …”

   Transmission and drivetrain

   Transmission shuddering, hesitation and shift issues

   • 24 complaints (11%)
   • median 49,000 mi at 2.2 yrs old (8 state mileage, few)
   • 2 mention a crash, fire or injury
   • filed 2025–2026

   Owners describe a juddering or skipping feel when trying to hold a steady speed, hesitation during acceleration, and in some cases the shifter failing to move out of reverse or the vehicle failing to shift into gear. Some complaints mention loss of traction or power shortages during acceleration. Dealers in some cases replaced the shifter assembly, throttle body, or CVT mount. Mostly reported between roughly 50,000 and 55,000 miles in this sample, with a few much earlier.

   1 related service bulletin

   What to check: Test drive at steady highway speed and during light acceleration to feel for shudder or hesitation, and check that the shifter moves cleanly through all positions. Ask whether any transmission mount or shifter work has been done.

Buying note. A 2024 Rogue can be a reasonable used buy if the engine-related recalls have been completed and a pre-purchase inspection checks for stored codes and any throttle body or engine work. Pay particular attention to the rear glass and the infotainment/camera system on the specific vehicle you are considering.
