Update: I traded this for a Corolla in 2017. The best decision ever. My sister's Armada's transmission just died after 6 years too. Stay away from Nissan cars. Research Nissan CVT engines and save yourself headaches and money. I bought the 2010 Nissan Rogue AWD SL model new. For the first two years, it drove with no problems. Since then, I have had the battery replaced three times. The third time, Nissan would not honor their own warranty on the battery even though their sticker was still on the battery. In fact, this car is rated by JD Power as "electronically deficient". Twice, the transmission has locked up on me while driving up in the mountains. This is extremely dangerous and it cost $99 each time for Nissan to have to reset the computer. The engine trembles when I am at lights and the car jerks forward hard when I accelerate. The noise is unbelievable. It actually sounds like a helicopter is above me the entire time I am driving. I have taken the car to Nissan and they told me that I my tires were too noisy for them to be able to figure out what was wrong with the transmission. So basically, their technicians cannot figure out the difference between tire noise and transmission noise. Nissan extended the transmission warranty on my model because they knew very well that they were selling garbage, but they did not want to admit to a recall. The exhaust and bottom cover started rusting the second year I had the car. Nissan admitted that salt used on snowy roads was the cause and they did recall this, but they only recalled it in certain northern states. Well, southern states get snow too. Nissan will never get a penny out of me again.

Nissan is waiting for the warranty on the CVT Transmission to run out so they will not have to fix these cars. They have 2 more years, they are just binding time and the NTSB is doing NOTHING to help consumers. Nissan extended the warranty on the CVT from 60K to 120K or 10 years, but when you take the car into the dealership with complaints they say there are NO CODES, the transmission is fine. IT IS A LIE. In 2013, I almost died in my car exiting the highway when my car lost power. I came to a stop from about 65 MPH and the car completely lost power, I was lucky the truck behind me did not hit me. I took the car to the dealer the same day, nothing was found. I explained how the car shudder, like it has the chills!!! Nope, dealer could not find anything wrong – no codes. I took the car back multiple times over the 8 years I have had it for the same issue. Last year April 2017, I took the car back again for the same thing… and nothing. They change the transmission oil and charged me $399! On October 2, 2018, my car lost power on the highway and would not accelerate over 50 MPH. The engine had a loud whining sound and struggling. I called the dealer and they said bring it on Thursday. However, on my way home from the doctor, the car would not go above 40 MPH so I drove directly to the dealer and told them I was leaving it there. Today, October 4, 2018 the dealer called and said they drove it twice, and found nothing wrong with the transmission it accelerated without issue. But they found my axle was bad and I needed bearings, etc. I asked, what does that have to do with the car losing power? I was told, with transmission, sometimes when the car cool vs. hot it acts differently but there is nothing to be done. THIS IS WRONG! SHAME ON NISSAN.

Do not buy this vehicle. I owned this vehicle since since 2012 and I had all kind of issues. I replaced the catalytic converter twice, tentioner, axle, etc... The biggest issue has been the CVT Transmission. My transmission let me down on the highway. I am lucky enough to still be alive. This vehicle is extremely unreliable and i will not recommend to anyone. DO NOT PURCHASE. IT IS A PIECE OF JUNK.

Another Bad Rogue

Don't fall for this car - the transmission will very likely fail on you. Read the oldest reviews first because it is not until this vehicle gets some miles on it that the troubles begin. I bought my 2010 Rogue in Sept 2016. At that time all the Nissan recalls and extended warranties were unknown to me. The car had 72,000 miles on it and was clean. Had the brakes done at 99,000 miles and other routine maintenance until the fall of 2019. I was evacuating due to an impending hurricane. I got 1.5 hours from home when the car's rpm's revved up and squealed while the acceleration went from 75mph to 40mph and I pulled off the interstate. I drove 25 - 30 mph to a gas station and sat for a few minutes. The car never overheated and the check engine light never came on. I turned around and drove the back roads back home. Had the car checked and nothing was found wrong with it. I was told "there is nothing wrong with your car." The next month the front right axle went bad. Spent about $500 on that repair. Started to get a bad feeling about the car. But no problems - until this June. I headed out after not going out of town for months due to the pandemic. Got 1.5 hours away and driving 75mph on interstate and the car repeated the same thing it had done the previous fall. I thought I was having a bad dream. The bad dream actually started when I took the car to my repair shop and asked them to look for codes. They found two transmission related codes, then cleared them and said take it to the dealer if it happens again. Long story short - the dealer could not duplicate the codes - because you have to drive the car at highway speeds for about an hour - when the transmission fail/slippage happens. It is very dangerous - as you can easily get rear ended. The car's warranty was up in August and I traded the car in for a Honda CRV a few weeks ago. It is night and day in how the cars drive. The Rogue shook when idling - really bad with the AC on and the rpms jumped around. It still looked good - but I won't buy another Nissan product. This one should have been recalled - not had an extended warranty - the Nissan won't rightfully honor anyway.

The Worst Purchase Ever

I drive imported cars where I live, however, I bought this vehicle brand new off the lot in about an hour, to use while I spend a few weeks each at my winter home in Florida. It seemed economical and sensible. Its garaged and not driven for about 9-10 months of the year. Consequently, there is low mileage. I happened to notice that after about 4 seasons, the passenger airbag light came on. I took it to the dealer who indicated that it was the OCS sensor in the passengers seat that was faulty, and that it would cost around $2,000 to fix. It had 14,000 miles on it. The dealer told me it was not under warranty, and that I must pay for the repair. The problem was that this sensor seemed to have quit while I was back at home, so it could not be taken in to the dealer until I returned in 8 months, unbeknownst to me. I explained this to the dealer, Sutherland Nissan Fort Myers, where I bought it from, and it was still a big fat NO. They told me to call Nissan USA. I called them, they opened a case, and in a day told me it was off the warranty and they would not do anything, in spite of the low mileage. Now, 2 years later, I asked the dealer again during routine service, about the air bag light. They tried to see what they could do, which again was nothing. They told me to try Nissan USA again. I did, and within a day, they indicated that they would not consider helping me out at all for the expensive repair. I was prepared to pay something, and hoping Nissan would help out. Well, as I told them on the phone, its not an oil change I am calling about, its poor quality from the get go, and has been a tremendous safety issue while this airbag is non functional. I have grandchildren and a wife in the car frequently. I think this is terrible on Nissan USA part, I will not ever buy another Nissan again, and will continue to tell anyone this story, who will listen to me. I cannot even sell it in this condition. As of the last review, other things continue to happen, brake lights failing etc. Thanks for nothing, Nissan. This Rogue is a lemon.
