Worst car I have ever owned

My wife and I bought a 2015 Nissan Rogue SL AWD in July of 2015. Within the first week we had too take the car to the dealer for the brake warning light was on. Several months later my wife brought to my attention that the car was making a loud noise when backing up and turning. Again we took the car into the dealer. With this problem that ended up being the front struts and springs. We had this to the dealer four times before rectified. At this point I had made contact with the better business bureau due to amount of problems and was considering filling a claim under the Maryland lemon law. During the time of dealing with the front suspension we received a factory recall to replace a air bag switch in the passenger seat. Another notable problem with this vehicle is that it stated to have AWD. The AWD can only be locked on at speeds under 15 MPH. Once you gain speeds above 15 MPH the AWD kicks off and is suppose to kickin as needed. I have driven this vehicle in six inches of snow at 30 MPH and the AWD never engages. I am 62 years old and have owned many vehicles over the years, but by far this 2015 Nissan is the biggest piece of junk I have ever owned. Thomas F Seymour

I love Nissan Rogues, that being said do your research! There are certain model years that you should absolutely avoid at all costs. I would say anything prior to 2016 is a do not buy!

Not happy with this SUV

I got my nissan rogue on March 2015, i was doing well with that car, until today when i brought my car for the 10000 miles maintenance. I was told that the front wheels need alignment. i was upset, because this is just 7 months and i never drove this car up on mountains or any rough road, i'm basically within city roads, so i was surprise to know that at a low mileage the alignment is not good anymore, and i am not using it for heavy loads, if it matters with those alignment problem.To add that it is only me driving this car, and i work 3 days a week only so the car is often in the parking. I trust that the quality and performance of this car is really good, so i was not expecting that. I then conclude that the quality of this car is ?, If at 10000 miles it is already not doing well, what kind of parts it has, how about at 60,000 miles,will this car still be working well? i think i'm starting to doubt and not to like this car, i was so upset and sad about this.

Nissan: Never Again

This car has a drainage/leak issue with sun roof. We have owned it just over two years and have had to bring it to dealer twice for leaking. The drains clog. It is parked right next to our 2008 Honda Odyssey and now problem with that vehicles sun roof. This past bill would have been $1800 as they are replacing the drains and the carpeting as the car now has a mold issue! Corporate has "offered" to pay part of it but this is an existing design issue and I believe they should pick all of it up. The dealer mentioned the first time that there is a clog issue with the drains. There is no way to clean them except to bring them to the dealer!!! Can not recommend Nissan as they do not stand by their product. Wait for the class action re: this issue. Save those receipts......

First and last Nissan Rogue ever

I have a 2015 Nissan Rogue SL, with all the safety features you could ask for in this line of crossovers. The car has a panoramic roof and is an AWD vehicle. I originally bought this car in July 2017 with 32,100 miles and decided to trust the brand (to which I was new). At the time of purchase at Nissan of Manchester Connecticut I opted to buy all the recommended warranties they provided (Gold extended warranty) and finance through Nissan itself. Mid 2019 I started noticing a musty smell after it rained and a few times we noticed the headliner was wet. As we kept using the car we noticed the car was accumulating water under the driver and passenger seats and there was water dripping down the front columns. We took the car to the dealership (now living in Houston Texas) and we had to pay over $350 to have the sunroof drainage unclogged. In November the car locks started acting up (locking and unlocking themselves while the right blinker light was activated, while the rear hatch was activated or the hazard lights came on). Again, I took it to the dealership and they charged me $340 to remove the aftermarket hitch I had installed to move my family across the country. Now at the beginning of 2020 the cars' locks started acting up again every time it rained (there is a clue there). I took the car again to the same dealership and under my awesome extended warranty they recalibrated the BCM (body control module), a second time it was replaced and multiple other times the new one was recalibrated. On my last visit to the dealership I was charged $540 for diagnosing water damage to the car. I have been at the dealership at least 5 times for the same problem (they credit the problem to water damage and told me my only option was to make a claim through my insurance), I have contacted Nissan consumer affairs (I was told the dealership declared it was the owners responsibility) and no help from the brand themselves. Long story short, I have payed enough money to service the car, fix the problem and expects good service to a loyal customer who bought the car from a Nissan dealership, bought all the extended warranties, services the car at the local dealership and is willing to keep the car if they treat my families car right. I would advice against the model with the panoramic sunroof because historically these cars have a problem with the drainage system and water will ultimately run into the interior and damage the electrical system. Of course it will be the owners fault for not paying $350 worth of preventive unclogging every 6 months as recommended by the service manager at Central Nissan of Houston, Tx.
