We purchased the Rouge new. It was a attractive, solid car, nice to drive. But, first, the paint chips and scratches to easy. Navigation is dangerously inaccurate. We use our Garmin. After dealer changed oil at 3,500 miles, we noticed the engine getting loud on any load being put on it, passing, climbing grade etc.. Drowns out radio. New, mpg was 25.4 consistently. Now 23 and falling. We feel it is because of engine loudness issue. Interior is wonderful. Radio a little disappointing for a Bose. It now has 5,000 miles, and a dealer claims engine noise is normal ? If this car would have remained as we drove it off the lot, we'd love it. Unfortunately, it's in a downhill spiral.

Had 2 cars - very poorly made. Had to replace axle in both cars at less than 45K miles. I would never buy a Nissan again! car looks and feels cheap, doesn't drive that great either. Feels like an older car not a new car. If you want a better car that drives better please go for a Hunday and save your money in the long run.

The car has a faulty design with its cvt trsnsmission. They don't honor the promised extended warranty of 10 years 120k. It is very expensice to repair. Just dont buy Nissan, it's only keeo giving you headache financially, mentally, emotionally.

CVT failure at only 90k miles. How has this not been recalled??
Only thing I like about my Rogue is it's a Nissan!

I have a 2013 Nissan Rogue with a CVT. Nov 2015 I had to leave Seattle last minute (g'son hit by car) and head to Phoenix. My 14 yr old daughter and I got into California and were going thru mountains/steep grades, also hot outside. All of a sudden my Rogue started losing speed and got slower and slower...very scary and dangerous as cars were coming behind us so fast and so many it took me 3-4 mins to get over to the side of the road to get off. My car was dropping speed rapidly and I was terrified. When I finally pulled off the exit and came to the stop sign my car died. I started crying. :( Cars were honking and going around us. After about 5 mins it started up (barely...by the grace of GOD) and I was able to get off the road and pull into a car dealership which was the first place to stop. It was a Sunday. Everything closed including car rentals. I sat there for over an hour with my daughter crying. She was much more logical and practical then myself in the situation. :) I pulled it together and we got something to eat and came back to the car. She pulled out the owner's manual and it read if traveling in hot weather and going over mountains (which we were), the CVT/car automatically shuts down so it doesn't overheat and burn up. Really??? Why was I not told that? I just knew the transmission was shot. We checked the engine oil and water in radiator. All fine. I started the car back up and with my FAITH got back on I-5. We did not have any more problems all the way there nor back. However, I have an appt tomorrow to take it into Nissan to have the transmission checked as I have a 60,000 mi/6yr warranty and I'm at 58,000 miles now. I now the transmission is caput. I can tell. It's sluggish and sometimes sounds like it stays in one gear and doesn't want to shift up w/speed. TBH, there's not much I like about my Nissan Rogue except for it's a Nissan and they have a great reputation. It even says you can't drive steep grades for more than 6 miles??? Really? How can you travel or go anywhere if there's mountains for more than 6 miles because that's almost everywhere I live on the west coast. It's absurd. What to do? What to do? :( UPDATE: 2-15-17: I had to buy a new (used) car over the weekend as the transmission is almost out now on my Nissan Rogue. Could it last another day, week, month year??? I don't know, maybe, but I'm not willing to take that chance. I do not feel safe driving it much of anywhere other than to work and back which is only 10 mi. each way. I know one thing for sure I could NOT drive anywhere if there were steep hills and/or mountains. I live in Western WA and I certainly could not drive over the mountains to Eastern WA in my Rogue as I know for a fact the minute I hit the mountains my Rogue would NOT make it. It would completely just shut down. :( Just this past weekend while looking for a new (used) car to buy I traveled about 28 miles from where I live to North Seattle and my Rogue was having a very difficult time. It was so sluggish and even sounded as if I were revving up the engine. If I would've had another 5 more mi. to go I would've never made it. :(
