this vehicle has a luxury vibe, even without leather seats. great interior, with pano roof. very smooth operator overall. gas mileage is never what they advertise, except on my altima, which is at least 32 overall. bottom line, technology and manufacturing methods have trickled down to the point where lower priced cars are just as good. had 11 lexus cars and this rogue rides as good as any of them...enjoy!
Fantastic car all around!

This crossover is designed for luxury! It's wonderfully appointed & plush with padded dash, plush padded door armrests & center console as well as the most comfortable seats. Mine included navigation upgrade and panoramic moonroof. It is impressive! I've had mine < 3 months and average between 23.3 and 28 MPG CITY driving. Acceleration is not an issue. I notice that I am still way ahead of about 90% of traffic when leaving an intersection without even close to flooring it. Buy a Mustang if you feel you HAVE to be 1st. No acceleration safety issues here! I was sold on the 2014 RAV4, but is just simply cheap looking and feeling compared to 2014 Rogue. Toyota really screwed up.

So Happy with this 2014 Nissan Rogue SV

I researched which car to buy for months and when I saw the re-design of the Nissan Rogue, I knew they got it right. Went and test drove the Cr-V, the Insight, and then the Rogue. The SV had cloth seats, which I prefer, but I could get a panoramic sunroof and the back-up camera with this model. That was all I needed. The car is super sharp in black, it's just a pleasure to own, it's so well made. I highly recommend this car. I think that for future models, they will give the engine a bit more juice - it could be peppier. But I don't care as much about that, and it's plenty responsive for me. I feel so pampered in this car -- highly recommend.
So incredibly impressed!

My lease was about up on my 2011 Mazda CX-9, which I loved. I decided to look at the Rogue since I loved the redesign. After test driving it I decided it was WELL worth getting a car that was a little smaller than the CX-9. The CVT has some noise but, honestly, it is the same as most engines revving up a hill or speeding up. It drive SOO smoothly. I got the Premium Package on the SL and it has EVERYTHING! The interior is beautiful, the touch screen is big and beautiful, the seats are SOO comfortable, and this car handles so amazingly well, as well as or better than my CX-9 did! I am getting about 23 mpg, but I only have about 400 miles on the car and I mainly drive city. Awesome car!

I purchased the 2014 Rogue SL AWD The interior lay out is quit well I love the soft touch materials around the cabin also the seats are very comfortable both front and rear. The Infotainment works OK, but While navigating through the menus I see a lag within the response. The power lift gate is convenient. The EPA estimate for the Rogue AWD is 25 city/32 highway averaging 28 MPG. My best MPG is 34.8 Worst MPG 24.3, to attain the 34.8 MPG I have to drive the speed limit, but I think it's worth it. the O/D button works well when passing 18 wheeler's or zipping through traffic. Overall I am happy with my investment & advise anybody who is shopping for a SUV to test drive the Rogue.
Fabulous vehicle!

I love this vehicle!!! I had a 2014 Honda CRV for a week and traded it in for the 2014 Rogue and am so happy now! I haven't finished mstering all of the buttons and commands yet but will have it shortly. The ride is very comfortable and don't hear any engine strain at all when accelerating. Haven't determined yet what the actual gas mileage is but will update later on. All of the features are great and it is SO comfortable to drive If the warning beeps get to be annoying I can and will shut them off, but for now not so bad. This vehicle should be, and hopefully will be soon, #1 in it's class. Just wish the auto dimming mirror came standard.
Excellent SUV...

Had the car only for a week now but purchased other Nissan vehicles in the past so I can pretty much attest to the quality. We looked at the CR-V (read about dim headlight issues) and the RAV-4 prior before purchasing the rogue. The exterior of the RAV-4 is bland and the interior is downright horrible and cheap looking. The Rogue is just as comparable to the RAV-4 in terms of cargo space but is dare I say.. slightly luxurious in regard to interior! We have the black cloth seats along with the moonroof which are simply beautiful. High quality interior materials, ample space, sleek exterior, quiet, simple controls, good gas mileage, and just a comfortable ride. Get it!!
Love this suv!

Just bought used 2014 Rogue SV. I probably should have done more research, cause I see quite a few complaints about the A.C., and sluggish CVT tranny. I previously owned a Murano with the CVT trans, so I am used to it, and really prefer it now. I don't think it's sluggish at all for a 4 cylinder. It is adequate, and compared to the Ford Escape, and Toyota Rav 4, I felt the ride was so much better. The rogue does wine with the throttle wide open going uphill, just like most 4 cylinders in it's class. I really love it so far. I think it's the best in it's class for the money, although I've read good things about the Mazda c.x. 5, I didn't, test drive one. Hope I don't regret this purchase!

So far so good, but MPG is way off

We did countless hours of researching crossovers, compared all of the models and test drove a few. We fell in love with the Rogue after seeing the redesign and learning about all of the great standard safety features for such a reasonable price. We are going from a Prius to this, so the promised 29-33 MPG was a big selling point. Unfortunately... I have yet to get more than 25 MPG! (I bought the FWD version instead of the AWD to keep the MPG at the higher end... we are quite disappointed. We are hopeful that it will improve, but so far very disappointed.)
Good vehicle, a few disappointing SL features

The Rogue is a good vehicle, just a few disappointments in expensive features. It has comfortable leather seats and roomy interior. Rear seat has dedicated vents, slides forward/back, and reclines; comfortable for adults. In general, the CVT offers a smooth, comfortable ride. Unfortunately, The Lane departure warning generally doesnt work and Frontal collision warning will go off when driving curvy roads. The Blind Spot Monitor sees ghost cars. I havent gotten better than 23mpg (40% highway) but was told it takes 3K miles before the engine reaches peak performance. The engine is noticeably loud and bothers me more than I thought it would but hopefully that will get better.

We watched youtube videos on all comprable suv's, we test drove all of them having to decide between the Nissan and the Subaru. I have had the Rouge SV with the tech package and have put almost 15000 miles on it since Feb. 2014. It drives great, we did bring it to the dealer only once to reset the computer on its first tank of gas because it did not do it automatically. I have no complaints and have had Nissans with great experiances in the past.

I love my new Rogue! It drives so quiet and smooth compared to the Honda I had! I am hearing a lot of concerns about the Rogue not living up to the MPG. With any vehicle the MPG are based on a standard way of driving the vehicle. If you hit the highway and put your gas pedal to the floor and drive 75-80 every where you go, yes, you will be lucky to get 24-25 mpg- its a 4 cyl. engine that you are making work overtime. I believe the standards used for all vehicles for highway testing is 60-65 mph. With normal acceleration- no noise! I have been averaging about 30 mpg on the highway when doing the speed limit.

Leased in Jan 2014 Problems: Day 2: headlights needed to be adjusted, blinding on coming drivers. Week 2: back windshield replaced; major leak Month 2: GPS/radio system changed Month 6: Air bag light went on for the day; eventually fixed itself Month 6: All air system blocked; fan working but NO air coming out; fixed itself after 3 hours in temps > 90 degrees! Month 12: Shifter assembly broken Month 15: seat assembly broken (drivers side) Month 16: CVT transmission grinding; replaced whole transmission Now: have no choice but to get extended warranty as approaching 40,000 miles! Reminds me of my old Kia, actually might be worse!

We bought it new in July 2013. Definitely the most reliable car I've ever owned. A great all around car. Lifetime MPG sits at a solid overall 27. Over 172k miles and I'd drive it across the country tomorrow without hesitation. The CVT has been fine and I've never changed the fluid. The AWD and modest power are super easy on tires and it is GREAT in snow and rain. The exterior paint and interior are holding up VERY well (except for exterior dings but those are not Nissan's fault). In 11+ years I've fixed the following: fuel pump (recall), light bulb replacements, brake rotors (one time) and pads (twice), crankshaft sensor (quick cheap dealer fix), exhaust (large hose clamps to keep it from rattling), and...that's it except for tires (2x), batteries (2x) and oil changes (probably a dozen-ish). Oh, I also had the Nissan dealer do a coolant replacement about 30k miles ago. That's pretty much it except for adding gas. I don't think you could ask for a more reliable car. I'd love a new family car, but it's impossible to justify spending $40k+ on a new SUV when this one is so reliable and has basically everything a new car would have. Everything still works, it looks good, and it's very comfortable.

Bought AWD SL 2014 Rogue in Apr 14. Only 4800 mils on it but have been to dealer two times due to auto AC problems. Dealer replaced seal on one visit but AC still not efficient. Seems to take forever to switch from recirc air to outside air in a relatively mild climate (Maryland). Dealer said AC working properly during last visit - if that's the case then AC is poorly sized for this vehicle. Had several other vehicles witn Auto AC and never had this problem - it was basically set-and-forget. Latest problem is cool air comes out of driver side vents but warm outside air out of passenger side with both sides set at 72 deg. Going back to dealer again.

I bought a Nissan Rogue 2014 SV full package with moon roof, on December 2013. Since than I had to come back to the dealer few times: First it was missing All wheel drive Harness, they simply forgot to install it on my car. There was no AWD nor Hill descent, the part was ordered and installed. It kind of makes you think, what else did they forget to install?. But the best one yet, I noticed that area under passenger seat is moist,I thought it was spilled water and ignored this at first, but it kept coming back more and more, took it to the dealer. He said it was clogged sun roof drain, that he fixed, few days passed to my surprise I notice around 1" of water under passenger seat today.

I am SO happy with my new '14 Rogue SL AWD and am totally in love with it! Nissan did a REALLY good job in this new redesign. I was a happy owner of a '11 Rogue SL AWD, but once I saw how nice this new baby was, I traded up! What an upgrade! This new Rogue not only looks better inside AND out, but it's better in EVERY way compared to the old one. It's good looking, comfortable, fuel efficient and SO nice to drive. My favorite feature is the supremely high build quality and luxurious feel of the car, in general. It feels like I'm driving a $40K car. And, I'm getting compliments on it EVERY where I drive. Do yourself a favor and sit in and test drive this car. You WILL be impressed!
Almost a luxury car, and for a great price

The 2014 rogue rides very smooth and I personally find it fun to drive. The car comes with a lot of amenities such as signals on the mirrors, push button start and access, single action fold down seats, LED daytime running lights, etc. The SV trim also comes standard with dual auto climate control and color radio screen. I got the premium package which has a nav system that works well enough. The interface can be a little quirky, however. The interior of the car has a very upscale feel to it especially considering the price point. It feels like you are in a much nicer car. I have not had the car long enough to really give an accurate review on reliability or gas mileage.
Overall love it

We got hustled into buying a 2014 Ford Escape SE. Traded it two weeks later for the 2014 Nissan Rogue SV w/ premium package. Best decision ever! The only issues we've had are 1. the nav screen will say loading & you have to cut the car on & off a few times to get it to work. 2. The air takes about 5 mins to get cool. We live in a pretty hot place but even when the temp drops, the air still takes awhile to get cool. Asked the dealership about it. They did nothing. For a brand new car 5 mins to have COOL (not cold) air is ridiculous. Anyone else have this air issue??

My Rogue is a 2014 SL AWD. There are some things to like; good gas mileage (especially highway), decent acceleration, good handling in snow, comfortable front seats, great sound system in the SL model, pretty good cargo capacity, okay visibility. But from nearly day one I have had a serious issues with it, and as time goes on I realize that there are also many annoying features that I was not able to identify in the test drive. The worst problems I have had are with the "infotainment" system. The voice recognition is poor (I do not have a heavy accent or speech problem). I have never been able to get the Nissan Connect app connected with my (new model) phone, and neither can the dealer or Nissan Corp. The Sirius radio cuts out when I drive by a tall tree and goes out completely for about 20 seconds several times an hour. It also periodically stops to "reload". I've had Sirius radios in my cars before, and this is by far the least reliable. The navigation is poor at best. Often when I enter (using voice recognition) what I know is a valid address, it comes back with some location in another state 3,000 miles away that doesn't even sound like the correct location. Sometimes it gives a trip time and distance that assumes I can drive directly to the destination even though there's a river between me and the destination, overlooking the time and distance required to go the nearest bridge first. It fails about 40% of the time to locate "Points of Interest" (again using voice recognition), including (no kidding) international airports in my state. I started trying to get these and other issues resolved with the dealer the first week I owned it. I found that except for one guy ("our expert") who worked at one of their remote locations, nobody there understood the systems. I met with the expert, who tried reloading the software several times with no success. They promised to discuss with Nissan, and no solutions resulted. I contacted Nissan and opened a "case". After numerous dealer visits and even more phone discussions with them, Nissan offered me one free month car payment for my trouble, but no fixes. I declined. They said they are working on the problems, but could not say when they would have them resolved. It's now 15 months since I picked up the vehicle and they have not been able to do a thing to help me. I drive a lot (currently at 30k miles), and I have owned many similar vehicles. I can say that for me, the Rogue was one of my worst picks. It also has many lesser annoyances including; 1) the CVT can't find the right gearing when accelerating uphill, usually running the RPMs up to almost 4000 before I give up and take my foot off the pedal, 2) many of the systems are set up to prevent the driver (or passenger) from using them while the vehicle is in gear, 3) the front wiper arms collide with and scratch the hood if you try to lift them out to clean the windshield, and the rear wiper likewise does not lift away from the glass, 4) when the vehicle is wet there's a loud whistle coming (I think) from the roof rack, 5) my front rotors warped at 22k, not covered of course, 6) within 1 year, the leather driver's seat began to show signs of checking and wrinkling, like a much older vehicle, 7) if you drop something between the center console and the seat, kiss it goodbye, 8) the Nissan navigation system does not provide traffic, you have to contract with Sirius for traffic, 9) the rear camera has poor resolution, 10) at about 28k it became obvious I would need tires soon, although I rotated them regularly. I will not buy tires, nor will I spend any more time or effort on this disappointment. It's getting traded next week. And not on another Nissan, ever. UPDATE 2/13/17 So, a lot has changed...after writing the original review I did not trade the Rogue as I intended, I actually took it on a 23,000 mile cross-country trip. And along the way, I made my peace with the vehicle. There isn't enough space allowed here to tell the whole story, and I still disliked the CVT, the wipers, tire and brake wear, and some other features, but I stopped hating the vehicle. Ultimately when the Rogue was about 21/2 years old, I was rear-ended by another SUV while I was stopped. My vehicle was pushed into a pickup in front of me, causing both the front end and rear end to be demolished. And I walked away. I test drove everything in the class and as crazy as it sounds, I replaced the Rogue with a new 2016 Rogue SL. And with the addition of blind spot monitoring, collision warning, moon roof, sport and eco modes and a much better operating CVT, I truly like my new Rogue. I'm glad Edmonds asked me update the review. The details below pertain to the new 2016 vehicle.

I refrained from writing a review on my Rogue as I've only had it 4 months but having read the previous reviewers gripe with the A/C, I decided to add my two cents. I live in Virginia and although this has been a mild summer in terms of heat, the A/C in my Rogue takes about 15 minutes to cool the cabin to a comfortable temperature. I took the car to the dealership and had them investigate. They said the A/C was cooling to 40 degrees as it was supposed to and by the service writer's own admission, on a really hot day, it could take 20 minutes for the cabin to cool. In addition, I can't dial back the blower speed because the cabin never gets that cold. As Edmunds sent me an email to update this review, I would now add that the car has had 3 recalls since purchase, one was software related and one was the fuel pump. I have a friend who works in the automotive business in Detroit and in March 2015 he sent me a letter written from NHTSB to Nissan recommending they replace fuel pumps because of some safety issues they found. I called the dealership to ask about the recall and they said there were none. Exactly ONE YEAR later, I got a recall notice from Nissan about the pump but the parts wouldn't be available for 3 more months. I wonder how many other auto manufacturers get away with recalls like this?

Traded out of a very troublesome 2013 Escape into the Rogue SL with Nav. Comapring to the Escape, the Nissan has a bit more hard plastic, but the overall feel of 'quality' is better. The ride is noticeably smoother, even with much higher than suggested tire pressure. Also much quieter, both as to wind noise and tire/road noise. The CVT transmission seems a bit sluggish when shifting, but is very smooth. Fuel economy so far is steady at 26mpg combined, and a bit over 29 at 70mph... which is very good for a brand new vehicle.

I've had this car for 10 months now and have already had various issues. The navigation/entertainment system stopped working suddenly for about 24 hours (3 times), still does on and off. I loved the idea that it was SXM ready. In Puerto Rico the SXM satellite radio does not work, Nissan did not associate with Sirius XM in the area. Sunroof started making noise, back took to repair shop, they un-assembled it, a month passed and noise started again, back to shop, still fighting the battle. I've been stopped by Cops 2 times, low head lights too bright. Very depressing when you purchase a new vehicle and it gives you many problems. I'm no longer a Nissan Fan. Anyone else with these issues?

I did considerable research, and kept coming back to the Rogue to meet my needs. After several weeks of ownership this car has exceeded my expectations. The SL is very luxurious and feature laden. Essentially everything seems to be well executed. And the performance is just fine - much better than I expected after reading some of the reviews. This is a great vehicle for its purpose. Updating the review after two years. The vehicle has been overall very reliable and continues to satisfy. I had one small mechanical problem - the bolts on one of the struts for the liftgate came loose, causing a horrible rattle, it was so difficult to find that it took two dealer visits. I have one major design problem with the car - the heated seats are barely noticeable, even on the high setting. In fact, sometimes I feel like the low setting is warmer than the high. The dealer replaced the complete heated seat system in both front seats and it is slightly better - but if heated seats are important to you, you will not be satisfied with this car.

I completely regret this purchase. Im a mid-30s guy, and this is bar far the worst new car Ive ever owned. Ive been lucky enough to own 4 in my life, all Hondas. But after the infotainment issues in my Accord, I went on a limb. The limb broke about 3 months into ownership, when a persistent rattle started in the dash where the instrument panel connects. About two weeks later, upon the first below freezing cold spell, the sunroof started to rattle when the cover was opened. Three visits to the dealership later, the problems are still present. Their fixes last for about a week, and then the problems return. The blind spot system is also completely useless in the rain b/c of false +s.

We bought a 2014 Nissan Rogue SV after having a basic 2010 model. We previously had Kia Sportage which we really liked. While shopping for a new car, we zeroed in on these two models. We were shocked with the highway performance of the Sportage. I actually asked the sales person if the emergency brake was on since it seemed to be very sluggish. By comparison, I never worry about accelerating from a stop light since I know that I can easily beat almost any car on the road, even without gunning it. I have no idea with other reviewers since there is no discernible shifting and I hit 60 mph. in just a few seconds.

Total loss but definitely felt safe

Had a nasty car accident in my new rogue. The good news about it was no one was harmed, however car was a total loss. The car is top safety pick for a reason. My accident was the result of my car's front end being in a side collision crash. The other car drove right through the front of the Rogue, ripping off the bumper and the engine fell out of place. The new design of virtually all plastic encasing the engine did cause for a total loss, but it allowed me to maintain control of my vehicle and did not allow the other car to come to an abrupt stop. Most of the energy transfer did not affect any of us in the car. Before the crash I had a knocking in the steering, which the dealership had a service bulletin on, this was attributed to washers, and unrelated to incident. Other than that, it rode very well, cabin was luxurious, but the infotainment system left something to be desired. Navigation system was laughable.

We looked at a lot of suvs used and new, when we added up the standard features the new gas mileage, the features and the package option that added a lot more for less than 1500 dollars this wa a no brainer. the safety features are great and at the price of the vehicle this is not even available in comparable suv's. the MPG in the 2014 models is enticing and makes you fell better buying this vehicle.
LOVE LOVE LOVE my car

There are a few things I would change about my car, like the light colored head liner, and maybe tint the windows but that's about it. The AC does take a a few minutes to cool the interior, but that's with any car in 100+ degree weather. My average fuel mileage is 27.5. Once I passed about 3,000 miles I started seeing an increase in my gas mileage. I am very rarely getting less that 29 mpg and that's in the city! I looked at every other option for a compact SUV and I really think I made the best decision. The rear AC vents are my favorite feature! My kids were actually complaining the other day about being cold and it was 98 degrees outside the car! Lifetime Chevy owner, turned Nissan Lover!

Our 2014 Rogue SL's digital ac control won't turn on when the vehicle is started we purchased it in June and since then it has been at the dealership 27 out of the first 40 days since delivery. Nissan has thus far been unable to fix the issue. Do not buy a 2014 Rogue! We are hard working people that were trying to provide a quality vehicle for our family and so far this experience has been a nightmare! The regional manufacturing rep for Nissan is involved, but they are still dragging their feet. Nissan of Chesapeake can not repair the Rogue while we are sitting back making payments and driving something much smaller and not comparable to our purchase. Again DO NOT PURCHASE A NISSAN!!!

This CUV suffers from poor construction, a horrid CVT, and terrible dealer support. It ended up being a rattle trap after the first 3 months. The whole car sounded like it was coming apart. The dash rattled, power seats squealed, and the speakers vibrated at low volume. Just all around poor build quality. I took it in to my local dealer because the passenger occupancy sensor would intermittently turn the air bags off when I have a passenger in the front seat. The service technician at the dealership was unable to reproduce the problem, this was back in 2014. To my amazement I received a recall last month addressing this very issue, and there's another open recall for the fuel pump! I'm sure there will be more recalls to come. The climate controls were impossible to adjust. They were either on full heat or cold; no in between. The CVT destroys any illusion of power. I guess the last straw was the incompetent technicians and rude service manager at my local dealership. I'm so happy I traded it in! I went back to Toyota and I will NEVER consider another Nissan.

Transmission blown at 64k miles!

Bought the car new in 2014 and 4 years and 64k miles later the transmission is blown. When I took it into the dealership they told me there were two recalls that I was never informed about. One for airbag and one for transmission. Checked the NTSA website and they only showed the airbag recall. Dealership did the tranny recall in the hopes that would fix the problem but no such luck. Filed a complaint with Nissan USA and was able to get them to cover 90% of the $4600 replacement cost because the warranty is only 60k miles. At least I am only out my 10% plus dealership diagnostic fees and car rental. That's right, major repair and no loaner from the dealership. Besides that the car develops a new rattle every few weeks due to the poorly fitted interior or some plastic piece breaks or pops out for the same reason. Gas mileage has also been a disappointment. Overall not satisfied but at this point we're stuck with it for years to come. Hopefully the new tranny will actually last 200k+ like other modern cars. This is my third Nissan and most likely my last. No way I will consider them again if they still use their horrible CVT. Update 1/5/19 - so Edmunds wanted me to update my review. Okay. Shortly after getting the transmission replaced the alternator crapped out while we were on vacation. $900 ish later to get that, and of course the battery replaced, plus the cost of having to extend our vacation by two days at summer hotel rates in a beach town and we were back on the road. On the upside the car hasn't broken down in 5 months so I guess that's something. My opinion of Nissan only continues to plummet.

Do not but a car with cvt transmission. Better off to take the money to Vegas for a crapshot at the tables.My theory is the belt is generating so much heat, that componts fail. After all, why are they offering an oil cooler for the cvt transmission? For my 2014 Nissan Rouge ,the dealer wants $3000.00 to repair and a wait for parts. $ 1700.00 for an oil cooler? Its a scam for Nissan. The 100,000 mile extended warrenty for cvt nissan transmission,well,the dealer run my vin# and said its not covered! I say the Us goverment should make Nissan buy their defect product back at full price. June 15. 2018- Well.quess what. The car would not start at the store. Cranks but no start. Tow to shop and plug it in,no codes,that afternoon it started! I dare not to use it. So I have two issues,cvt transmission and a no start. I hope it burns down soon. Update: July 18,2018 Finally borrowed the money for cvt transmissiom repairs. Oh yeah, the dealer want payment in full with open repair bill! Meaning any and all additional parts and labor could be added on later date. Put the nissan rouge car in the shop on July 05,2018 and dealer said they should be getting the parts-valve body and oil cooler by the 25 of July, then work will begin. Asked for the old worn out parts to be given back to me. The dealer said their will be a core charge on them. So they are rebuilting old parts and selling them back to you. I will kept the updates coming. July 18,2018, we got the car out of the shop. Drove home 120 miles,park car, next morning it would not start. Ended up purchasing a new battery, replacing the orignal battery. Started up fine then that afternoon, it would not start when hot, a no start again. There is a code , but we have to drive 125 miles one way to Nissan shop to hook up to their computer,which is $ 117.00 charge. And with this hot weather , we dare not. We do not want to cook outside in 100 degrees heat if we broke down again. Its due brakes shoes and fan belt too. If this is what techknowledge is all about, count me out! August 02. 2018 , The Nissan dealer repaired the cvt transmission stated their work was warrented for only 12,000 miles....great, isn,t it. Update; August 10, 2018 car quit running. Dealer wants $ 800.00 to fix. As I stated. I am on retirement with limited resources and 65+ years old. Our selves, we firquied it was the fuel pump, by unhooking the air cleaner and squired a little gasoline down the air cleaner manflod. It started til it burned what little gas we had squired down line. So called the wrecking yard and found another Nissan rouge select. Brought the fuel pump for $ 75.00. The fuel pump was located under the second bench seat.Grab the front end of the 2 nd bench seat and give it a quick yank upwards to free it. Now getting the fuel pump retaining ring off was very hard. Turns out they make a tool # J-455747, its on E Bay for $18.00,buy it. Fixed and done,far more peppy too. Hopes this helps someone out there. Thanks. August 18, 2018 Disclaimer; do not take replacing the fuel pump job lightly. Raw gasoline inside the tank exposed, heat, spark or static electricity ( cell phones ) could set off an explosion. I wear Nomax fire retarded coveralls,had a 20 pound fire extinguish, ground wire from car frame to dirt ground, doing the repairs outside in event of fire,wouldn't want to burn your house down, and a heavy blanket to thrown over the top gas tank hole. I have 26 years working around crude oil so. think hard about repairing first, safely starts first. Up date; blue book value says car wroth id $ 5,000.00 - $ 6,000.00 now. August 30,2018. Sad, isn,t it.

I downsized from 2010 Buick Enclave because i don't need that big vehicle for my small family, but still i tried to compensate the ride comfort for the substitute vehicle. So the ride quality compared to enclave is the same other than Rogue is 1500 lbs lighter. It is fun to drive where as enclave was a chore to drive in city and locally. It has more technological features - electronics and trace control, ride control and engine braking. Ride comfort: it is quiet, smooth , less wind and tire noise, light steering on low speeds and precise on highway speeds, very little body role - you can drive this like a car other than the acceleration part.The only negative is NASA inspired seats.

A Financial Nightmare: Early Transmission Failure

For the first couple of years, I thought that my Nissan Rogue was one of the best cars I could've landed on. I had bought a 2014 Nissan Rogue SV with a lot of premium features that I would grow to love over the years. At the time that I had bought my Rogue, it had around 73,000 miles on it with your typical dealership warranties. All of the professional reviews of the Nissan Rogue helped cement an impression that this car would have a long lifespan if properly taken care of. However it didn't occur to me to read user reviews, which would have revealed the serious issues these models all have to contend with eventually. Nor was I aware that these Nissan Rogues needed regular transmission fluid replacements in order to extend an already unpredictable CVT lifespan. This would all become apparent when I was driving home one day on the interstate and experienced an extremely terrifying experience as I lost all power with my acceleration pedal and my car began to lurch forward randomly. After an anxiety inducing hour, I was able to safely navigate home. Unsure what was happening, as my check engine light and warning lights were off, I got an OBD reading which brought up a solenoid warning code. This discovery revealed my first fear, as I realized that my transmission was slipping. You don't expect something like this to happen this early on your vehicle while you are still only half way paid on your auto loan. I had my Rogue for less than 3 years and had done everything you're supposed to do when caring for a car. This was financially devastating for me. A replacement cost me nearly $4,200 and took nearly a month to complete due to back orders. When I learned that Jatco CVTs had a reputation for prematurely failing and that for nearly a decade Nissan was aware of these issues, I was understandably angry. Why hasn't there been a recall? Why was no one warned about this? Of course, I wasn't alone. Tens of thousands of Nissan Rogue customers have made their voices heard online and in court. There are dozens of lawsuits against Nissan for negligence and misleading customers. Nissan's CVT defects are well known among auto mechanics, who often refuse to replace them. It took nearly 30 phone calls to find a handful of auto shops who would even touch my Rogue. Nissan won't even stand behind a brand new CVT, offering a laughable 12 mo/12,000 mile warranty. After this horrific and stressful experience, I am left saddened that a car that had me so excited, could have such a major flaw. Had I known that my Rogue's CVT was a ticking time bomb, I would have run away in the other direction. Now I am stuck with another loan to pay off the repair on top of my original auto loan. A costly lesson I hope to never repeat.

Run!!!! The CVT will go out on you. This transmission, i am sure will give out after your 60,000 mile watranty is done. You will have to get a lawyer just to fight them. I am a single mom of 6 and this was my first vehicle in 2016 as a gift to myself!!! The car is sitting in a nissan dealership with me having no way to fix it for 4,725! Nissan refuses to help pay. After seeing all of the complaints with their transmission. I still have three Years worth of car note payments on a car that's worth mud. Very inhumane Nissan!

We have had this car only 2 months now and have already had an issue with it. The navigation/entertainment system stopped working for about 24 hours. It happened when I went to move the car off the street and into the garage. I noticed it start and then turn off when I shifted into reverse. Then it would not turn on no matter what buttons were pressed. A day later it started working again. My guess is that I shifted into reverse too quickly as the system appears to need time to boot up or maybe it was because I did not fasten my seat belt. Whatever the cause was, we haven't noticed any issues with it since. I saw a couple of other posts about this before, but now they are gone? Anyone else?

TRANSMISSION IS TRASH

I bought my 2014 Nissan Rogue in March of 2017 with roughly 60k miles on the vehicle. Nissan has been the only company to service my vehicle since this purchase (with the exception of the body work done due to being hit). Today, July 13, 2020 Nissan calls to tell me my whole transmission needs to be replaced. This car only has 118k miles. Back Story: I took my vehicle in on Friday, July 10th for an oil change, and for my back breaks and rotors to be replaced. The report said I was missing a coolant cap (I approved and paid for this to be replaced) and that all my fluids were great, including my coolant and auto transmission fluid. When my car broke down on July 12, we found out that my coolant was completely dry and that the coolant cap was non-existent. Back to the present, Nissan tells me that they had to order the coolant cap, that they didn't actually have it in stock... I WAS NEVER INFORMED. They also advised that they DO NOT CHECK THE TRANSMISSION FLUID BECAUSE IT IS SEALED BUT they do recommend it being changed every 30 thousand miles!! Please keep in mind that EVERY SINGLE report states that my transmission fluid is great! SO WHY WOULD THEY INCLUDE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID ON THE REPORT IF THEY DON'T CHECK IT!!!! They never once made the recommendation to have the transmission fluid changed NOT ONCE!!! (I have every report) WHY WOULD THEY NOT TELL ME THAT THE COOLANT CAP NEEDED TO BE ORDERED? I am done with Nissan! I will never own another. The manager is trying to tell me that due to the high heat index during the summer months, they see an uptick in transmission failures. He continued due to the heat, the transmissions it's likely that the transmission will have issues pulling. Okay, so now our cars aren't made to drive in 85 degree weather?? In the foreseeable future, Nissan will have a law suit on their hands will how many reports I am seeing with CVT issues!!! Watch and see. I would also like to add that the 2014 was the year of the design change. Could this be why this year model is having more problems?
New transmission - Less than 60k miles

The transmission died when I was four hours from home on a road trip. I was just under the 60k mile limit for the warranty. While I'm glad Nissan paid for the tow, rental, and repair, I have a hunch from other online reviews that I'll have to replace the transmission again eventually and that time, the cost will be on me. I would never buy another Nissan. There is no way a four year old car with 59k miles should need a new transmission, especially since I was keeping up with maintenance on this car. Not to mention, it's a huge safety concern when you're on the highway and unable to accelerate properly with semi trucks flying past you. I look forward to getting rid of this car eventually!

Just bought my 2014 Rogue SV with AWD a few days ago. Overall I really like the vehicle and think styling inside and out is much improved from the 2013 version. I am a pretty dedicated Nissan owner but also checked out the Subaru Forester, Toyota RAV4, and Chevy Equinox. I was sold on the Rogue's interior - looks and feels very upscale, better than its competitors, and the cabin is huge. The Sirius XM radio is awesome and Nissan gives you a 90-day trial to test it out. Mine came with dual climate control (have never had that before and love it!), pushbutton start, backup camera, and an extended power moonroof and it listed for just over $28,000. So, I feel the value was great.

I've bought this SUV in July 2014. I am impressed with most of the features, except the claimed mileage! I do not get over 18mpg driving mostly highway. Also, the lift gate has stopped functioning, GPS unit turns off by itself. front passenger seat vibrates while on ideal. Passenger airbag turns on by itself.

You’re Rouge will need a new CVT at 60k-80k miles, so prepare to drop $3,500 on that as it will be out of warranty by then. Nissan will not help you out. You are better off with a different SUV make. Nissan’s CVT issues are notorious. I will not buy Nissan ever again.

Enjoyed this car for 4 years, wish I still had it! Traded for a Murano, Rogue gives you much more for your dollar. Rogue good gas mileage 24 combined 30 easy on a trip. Murano 20 combinerd maybe 30 on trip. Interior of both cars well finished,Rogue has a back seat elevated and with forward adjustment. Murano no. Rogue extra storage in hatch,not found in Murano. Rogue upgraded and better safety features standard, Murano need to buy package. Rogue is actually a more spacious vehicle! I liked both cars and would purchase again. Negatives ....Rogue is not as quiet as Murano

We leased a Rogue in 2009, and again in 2012. We turned the 2012 Rogue in early and leased a new 2014 recently. We enjoyed the earlier Rogues but find this new one to offer features that will be to our benefit.

March 2018. Still a great SUV. Now almost four years old. Took a trip to the mountains (steep grades) this past week-end. Did great. Very little engine/CVT noise even on the steep grades. What you would expect in any car. Averaged 29 MPG, but did get 35 MPG on one leg. Combination interstate, city and mountain driving. Very quiet and very comfortable. March 2017. After almost three years, below is still accurate. Would buy it again. Great small, but not too small, SUV. The FWD version gets very good mileage and is the most comfortable and quietest riding of any small SUV. Luxurious interior and lots of gadgets, especially if you get the SL with Premium Package. Lots of safety devices. Voice control of infotainment takes some getting used to and is a little slow, but it works fine. Only problem so far is the sunvisors wouldn't hold position, but that was probably a supplier issue. Both replaced and no problems since. NO CVT noise even going up 6-8% grades in the mountains; no searching by CVT either. Prices much more reasonable than CV-T and RAV4.

I traded in my 2011 328xi BMW for the SL Rogue as I needed more space and better mileage. People get surprised when they sit in the back, feeling spacious and comfortable. I am getting 23-27 miles per gallon in the city and 31-33 in the highway and the average is about 27, outstanding! A bit slow at the beginning, but it was expected due to hp and 4 cyl; however, if you need that extra bust, press the "sport" button and you will be a bit surprised how much faster this baby can go. Great ride a and sound system better that my BMW. In my opinion, no other Crossover/SUV will give you a better bang for your buck, not to mention is good looking and stands out from the crowd!

Purchased a New 2014 Nissan Rogue Fully Loaded with all options AWD, but after 1 week Paint is now coming off the front bumper. Contacted Nissan Immediately only to get transferred to someone who will do nothing and stated that it must be bird [non-permissible content removed] and will not cover the quality of a Nissan product purchased after 7 days.
