  Vehicle has plume of blue smoke each time it turns on, burning oil. Was informed by mechanic that it is a bad piston ring, which is common with this vehicle’s engine. It will eat through a full engine of oil in two months. 4K-10k fix. Car has 71k miles on it; under 10k miles put on it a year. Gets regular oil changes based on typical recommendation for a low mileage vehicle. Oil is checked regularly. This is in addition to a bad intake fan that needed replacing and cost 1.5k that others have been complaining of where the car would severely overheat.

  After I paid for the Reset and pulled out of the CS garage my vehicle started jerking and grabbing. I took the CS representative in my vehicle and Jackie felt this. The issue could not be found. I took the auto back and now I received paperwork saying that the issue could not be duplicated. I took my vehicle then in October 3rd, 2023 with an appointment at 1p. The issue could not be found. I had 2 different times 2 techs ride in the parking lot. The car's drive shaft was taken out and another was placed in. Tech drove and the issue remained. My old drive shaft was returned to the vehicle. Next, my AWD coupler was unhooked. I didn't feel the issue. Then this was hooked back up. I was told around 4: 45p that day that the service tech was going to call me the next day, No invoice was received. Now I had a whirling/rubbing sound anytime the vehicle was moving along with the jerking. The CS rep never called me and I called a few days later. I was told the part wasn't cheap and it was the AWD coupler. The phone estimate for working on the vehicle with labor, and the part was 2500 and taxes. That was the verbal phone estimate. I took my cousin to Parkway on October 9th. We received a paper estimate. This is a similar problem to your NTB20-069. The exception is below 20 mph for the jerking, and turning the wheel for turns. Worse at very low speeds. Such as looking for a parking spot in a parking lot and right about ready to turn I get jerking and feel as if it bounces forward and backward as I was told AWD issues will feel like this. I was told the part will be ordered and I believe if it's similar to NTB20-069 there is a defect in the AWD. (the work/labor for 10/3/2023 and the replacement of the AWD coupler will be on the final bill) The other complaint form for another issue on 8/2/2023 is when it started AFTER receiving the invoice and starting to pull the vehicle out of the CS garage doors.

• 10/16/2023· AIR BAGS

  The Air Bag Light on the instrument panel came on for no reason. I took the vehicle to the dealership. I had to pay for a reset to have been done. There were 2 or 3 codes that came up. I was told and the paperwork said that the technician resolved the problem. I went to start the vehicle and the instrument panel light was off for the air bag and I have 2 new issues. The seat belt light is on and now after 10 seconds, the passenger airbag light goes from yellow to off as someone is sitting in the seat. The only way that the seatbelt light clears off of my instrument panel is by buckling the passenger side seatbelt. The dealership said that the issue had to be called into a tech higher-up. I never have received an answer. I had the codes programmed in and taken out and the original issue still exists I don't know if all airbags are not working as my instrument panel airbag light is on and don't actually know if the passenger side is actually working or not.

  On Wednesday [XXX], I brought my car to AutoNation Nissan in Pembroke Pines Florida due to non-functional windshield wipers. By Wednesday, August 21st, I was informed that not only were the windshield wiper motors inoperable, but a part called the engine harness was also required for repairs, and this part was not available. . I also reached out to my extended warranty program and spoke with Siena at Nissan Corporate, who provided me with case number [XXX]. The part number needed is ASSY-24012-6 MA OC. Despite my repeated follow-ups every three days with Sienna, I have been informed each time that the part remains on backorder with no estimated arrival date and that a loaner vehicle cannot be provided. Consequently, I am now forced to drive my car without windshield wipers, which is unsafe. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

  I HAVE EXPERIENCED, AT LEAST 10 TIMES AS OF 9/12/2020, THE LATEST INSTANCE BEING YESTERDAY 9/11/2020, A LACK OF RESPONSE WHEN ACCELERATING. EVERY INSTANCE OCCURRED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP, NO ROLLING STOPS WERE AFFECTED. SOME OF THE TIMES IT WAS REALLY HOT (95 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT), BUT OTHER TIMES IT WAS 65-70 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. SOME OF THE INSTANCES WERE RIGHT AFTER I TURNED THE CAR ON AND NEEDED TO STOP AND THEN GO, OTHER INSTANCES WERE AFTER DRIVING FOR 30 MINUTES OR MORE. I WOULD PRESS THE GAS PEDAL TO DRIVE AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE CAR, I.E.NO FORWARD MOTION, NO RPMS, NO REVVING OF THE ENGINE. I WOULD THEN LET THE GAS PEDAL COME UP AND THEN PRESS THE GAS PEDAL DOWN AGAIN TO ACCELERATE. IN SOME OF THE INSTANCES, THE SECOND PRESS OF THE GAS PEDAL WOULD MAKE THE CAR GO. MOST OF THE INSTANCES NEEDED A THIRD VERY FAST COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR PRESS OF THE GAS PEDAL IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO MOVE. SOME OF THE INSTANCES WERE WHILE I WAS JUST SITTING AT A RED LIGHT WAITING TO GO, OTHERS WERE WHEN I NEEDED TO STOP TO MAKE A LEFT TURN (WHICH BECAME QUITE DANGEROUS VERY FAST). NONE OF THE INSTANCES HAPPENED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY OR WHILE CHANGING SPEEDS WHILE DRIVING. ALL INSTANCES HAPPENED ON SUBURBAN ROADS WHILE RUNNING ERRANDS OR GOING TO AND FROM WORK OR PEOPLE'S HOUSES. THERE DID NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES WHEN THESE INSTANCES HAPPENED, THE RADIO AND LIGHTS STILL WORKED CORRECTLY WITHOUT ANY HESITATION. THERE WERE NO LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD ALERTING ME TO ANY CODES BEING GIVEN BY THE ENGINE. I AM REALLY UNSURE OF WHAT THE CAUSE IS, AND THE MECHANICS COULD NOT REPLICATE IT TO LOOK INTO ANYTHING. AFTER A FEW INSTANCES OF THIS, AND IN TALKING TO SOME OF MY CAR FRIENDS, IT COULD BE A THROTTLE RESPONSE ISSUE OR MAYBE A GUMMED UP VALVE IN THE FUEL SYSTEM SOMEWHERE. I REALLY DON'T KNOW.

  My car had less the 30,000 mi on it. It 28,700mi at the time of incident. I bought it brand new in 2018. So this year my warranty expired in April 2021. In June my cooling fan went out and I had no a/c plus the car was not drivable due to it overheating. I’m in Idaho we were have 100-110 degree days here. I had no car for a month and a half because I was told that they don’t make the cooling fans anymore and the dealership couldn’t get ahold of one for that period of time. Meanwhile I lost my job we don’t have busses and I couldn’t get rides or afford ubers/ taxis everyday several times a day. It was awful. I know this issue has to be known to Nissan. Shouldn’t there have been a safety recall by now?!? Also at the exact same time as the cooling fan went out the fuel pump went out too! Now mind you this car was brand new is three years old with less then 30,000mi on it. So the warranty had expired three months prior they can’t get the part to replace it for 1 1/2months so I have no car during that time loose my job and have to foot the bill for replacing both the cooling fan and the fuel pump. Okay I believe this make, model, and year NEEDS to have a mandatory safety recall ASAP. For goodness sake look at how many people have had to replace their cooling fans on their car! That’s not OKAY. I Demand that something be done to fix this BEFORE someone’s car catches fire and someone ends up dying!

  The air bag light turned on in the dashboard and I took it to the dealership they charged a diagnostics fee and said that the OSC sensor and control unit need to be replaced. I reported to them that I thought maybe the kids dropping water behind the seat was what triggered the light but it turned out that water never touched the components and it just failed on it's own. I checked for recalls for my VIN and found nothing however my car falls under the OSC recalls for my make and model it's just that my VIN isn't included for whatever reason.

  The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue Sport. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60 MPH, the engine suddenly started revving; however, the vehicle would no longer accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal. The contact was able to coast off the road and come to a complete stop. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the transmission had erroneously shifted to neutral. The vehicle was later taken to the local dealer who replaced the engine valves but the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was contacted and notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 23,500.

• 08/21/2026· AIR BAGS

  The front passenger seat Occupant Classification System (OCS) sensor failed. When the passenger seat is completely empty and vacant, the dashboard airbag warning light illuminates and stays on. However, when an adult sits in the passenger seat, the warning light turns off and the system functions normally. This indicates the sensor mat inside the seat cushion has lost its "zero-point" baseline calibration or suffered an internal electronic failure, causing it to read a ghost weight when empty. The component is still installed in the vehicle and is available for inspection. Safety is severely put at risk because a malfunctioning OCS sensor can cause the vehicle's computer to miscalculate passenger weight during a collision. This could lead to the frontal passenger airbag deploying with incorrect force, or failing to deploy at all, significantly increasing the risk of injury or death to an occupant. The problem happens consistently every time the vehicle is turned on with an empty seat, but it has not yet been formally inspected by a dealer, independent service center, police, or insurance. The only warning symptom prior to this failure was the sudden appearance of the dashboard airbag indicator light, which now stays illuminated continuously whenever the passenger seat is empty.

  Rogue Sport 2017, 52K miles: The A/C was not blowing and I took it into Firestone where they said it was a weak air compressor (this shouldn't be the case on a low mileage car). A week later the hood started smoking and upon inspection the coolant level was 1/4 tank and the engine malfunction light was on. I took it to and independent service center, Bass Auto (Nolensville Road, Nashville TN) and they said it was NOT SAFE to drive (engine can overheat and catch fire) due to a Radiator Coolant Fan (part # 214816MA0B or 214816MA0A) and that they have had to fix many of the these. The fan is responsible for blowing the cold air from the AC and keeping the engine cool so poses risk of engine failure. Looking at Reddit and facebook groups there are many people that have this issue on low mileage Rogue/Rogue Sports (Years 2017 - 2020) and there is a class action lawsuit that was filed in the State of Tennessee for this issue (XXX et al vs. Nissan - link below).

  On June 30, 2021 my Nissan Rogue was operating normally. My husband and I stopped at a store and I ran in while he stayed in the car. After about 10 minutes or so my husband came into the store to tell me my vehicle had started smoking, so he shut it off. It did not want to start again. After waiting 30 minutes the vehicle started and there were no problems, but I wanted to drive the car to my dealership just to check. While at the dealership, the vehicle began smoking out of the engine again, and now liquid was dripping onto the floor. It is my understanding that it got so hot in the engine that my washer fluid reservoir melted and that was the liquid dripping onto the ground. After having the vehicle towed to another repair shop, they advised me that I need a replacement cooling fan, but that part is not available in the United States at the moment. It has now been over a month and there is no update on when the part might be available, and neither my dealership nor repair shop nor Nissan will provide me with a working vehicle while mine is out. The engine could have caught on fire, endangering my husband and I and anyone driving near us. We were told Nissan is aware of this issue and isn't doing anything about it. There were no warning lamps prior to this happening. Several months prior the vehicle was in the repair shop for the A/C not working properly, a sound coming from my A/C blower, and the bluetooth not working properly.

  Nissan - started with delay acceleration while driving. Called our mechanic to set up appointment to see what was going on. When going to put the car in reverse to leave, the car floored forward and just missed hitting our house and electrical box! We were unable to get the vehicle to reverse, all gears brought the vehicle forward. We had to put in neutral gear and push the car backwards in order to drive down to our mechanic to have it looked at. Our local mechanic said the transmission needed to be replaced.. upon looking to see if this issue was reported by other consumers with a Nissan rogue sport; several complaints documented online of vehicle acceleration issues, especially on a highway and safety concerns. Seems that the transmission is an issue that needs to be addressed before someone is hurt or a crash occurs in our case our house almost being hit. I would like to report this issue with the 2017 Nissan rogue sports as a safety concern. My vehicle has under 100,000 miles and should not need a new transmission or have this safety arise is very concerning and I am looking for a resolution and coverage to fix this flaw with the transmission.

  IN THIS Report: On my vehicle, the cooling fan assembly completely went out without warning, and when i seen the temp gauge starting to climb to the hot, i immediately shut the engine off. Bobb's Automotive checked it out and stated that the cooling fan faulted out. This auto repair shop also stated that the actual whole system faulted out on over 150+ other vehicles acrossed the country. And with this being said: Nissan is AWARE OF THE FAULTY SYSTEMS. they are in the process of Totally Redesigning of the Cooling Fan System. I further found out that Nissan is not covering the cost of the part, nor are they IMPOSING A RECALL ON THESE FAULTY COOLING FAN SYSTEMS. AT THIS POINT, MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP ON THE ACCOUNT OF NO COOLING FANS AVAILABLE IN THE USA. BUT AT THE SAME TIME NISSAN INFACT IS ADMITTING GUILT AT THIS TIME, BUT NOT ISSUING A RECALL . SOMTHING SHOULD BE DONE TO WARN OTHER NISSAN VEHICLE OWNERS BEFORE THEY EXPERIANCE THE SAME ISSUE, AND WHICH THEY MAY ALREADY HAVE, BUT HAS YET BEEN REPORTED.

  My Rogue Sport has less than 35k mileage. While I was driving yesterday my radio sputtered then the whole screen (radio, backup camera, clock) went completely dark and a large amount of smoke came from in the cabin of the vehicle and the smell of electrical burning. I immediately pulled over thinking the whole car was going to catch on fire, turned the radio to the off position and rolled down the windows. I waited approximately 5 minutes and thought if it was going to catch fire it would have done so. The smoke took a long time to dissipate and the smell of electrical is still in my car. There was no warning. I will be scheduling an appointment with the dealer to try and get additional details. Prior to this there was no indication there was a problem.

  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. IN ORDER TO GET THE COOLING FAN FOR MY CAR, I HAVE TO WAIT 2-3 WEEKS FOR IT TO COME IN BECAUSE THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE IT. I WENT TO A MECHANIC IN MY CITY AND THERE WAS A GUY WITH THE SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL CAR AS MINE AND HE HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS I DID. IT TURNS OUT THAT HE WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AS WELL AND BOUGHT THE LAST COOLING FAN FROM THEM THERE'S NO WAY THAT THIS PERSON CAN COINCIDENTALLY HAVE THE SAME EXACT CAR WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM IN THE SAME EXACT CITY. THEREFORE I'M FILING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I'M OBVIOUSLY NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS ISSUE.

  about a year after I had the car (2019), the A/C went out. We fixed it at the Nissan dealership. Periodically, the engine would stop when I went reversed. This mainly happened in the summer. About two years ago, the A/C went out again. I noticed both the stalling in reverse and the A/C not working (not sure if related). The engine stalled and smoke came out of the engine. We fixed the engine--basically saying that it was an A/C issue. Last year during the summer months, the same thing happened. We again, fixed the A/C. This year, it happened again.

They told me if I continue to drive my car my engine would explode

  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.

  CVT TRANSMISSION WENT BAD ON THIS 2017 NISSAN ROGUE SPORT WITH ONLY 67,000 MILES AND I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW

  --This vehicle had a serious problem with the Roof Wiring Harness that, according to the dealer, could have caused a fire. Attached is a copy of invoice 258752: Cost to repair was $1,952.06. The initial symptoms were malfunctioning map and visor vanity lights and they first appeared about March 2024 --This exact same problem was the subject of a recall for 2017 Rogues. However, for some reason, the recall did not extend to the "Sport" models. Since this was the exact same dangerous condition that resulted in a recall and repaired at no cost that was covered by the recall, the recall should be extended to the "Sport" model. I also wanted to alert you to problem that probably exits in all "Sport" model that could also endanger the owners of those vehicle. --I contacted Nissan (case #51188260) on April 24, 2024 and they denied our claim for reimbursement since the "Sport" model was not included in the recall. Clearlyly, all Nissan Rogue models should have been covered by the recall --The initial symptoms were malfunctioning map and vanity lights which appeared in March, 2024.

  When I was driving my 2017 Nissan rogue sport it was jerking forward as I was driving with no other issues show before. I took it to the mechanic and they pulled the transmission fluid and it was dark and smelly. The check engine light came on and I was told not to drive it. With further research I have found that others were having this issue as was advised to make a report about it to assure safety for other people.

  The transmission is rattling and affecting the acceleration ability. It feels like the car is stuck in first gear.

  The transmission is bad and need to be replaced. I called destination nissan and they said even though the age and milleage of the car is below the warranty limity , my warranty expire 2023. The employee then told me those transmission (ctr) are bad and I am lucky I got the amount of time I did out of it because sometimes the transmission go bad after 5 years. That prompt me to file a complaint because people should not buy nissan rouges , have a monthly payment and in a few years have to pay a 6 to 8k bill. Also it is not safe. My car start to stutter on the road going toward a highway.
