I purchased this car new for my birthday. After 1500 miles the front end started making this terrible knocking sound. I brought the car in for service they replaced the struts and sent me on my way. Well they have replaced the struts 4 different times now and the noise is still there. I have 13000 miles on the vehicle and have filed for Nissan to repurchase my car. I would like to say that maybe I just got a lemon, but my mother in law has the same vehicle and her car makes more noise than mine did. Please consider other options. After much research I have learned this is not an isolated incident.

I don’t recommend that anyone purchase this vehicle. I bought a 2016 rogue in June of 2016 and now 2 years later it’s diagnosed with transmission issues.

Bad paint job

Overall I have been pleased with the car except for one thing. I have never owned a car that has such a poor paint job. There are paint chips all over the front end as well as on the sides. I really wonder if this is an inherent problem with the quality of paint or the workmanship.

What I like most about my 2016 Rogue SV (with premium package & moon roof pkg) is the adjustable seats for my 5' 3" frame. Most vehicles are challenging for my height, but the Rogue is not. In addition, for a 4-cylinder, it has considerable pep, and the steering is exceptional. The interior is comfortable, and of better quality than the Subaru Forester, Subaru Outback, and the Honda CRV, which I also considered purchasing. It's great to know that Nissan realizes that not everyone wants leather seats and, as such, provides the buyer an opportunity to select the premium package and/or the moon roof package, with fabric seats. I definitely recommend that the Nissan Rogue be considered among comparable SUVs. You WILL notice a positive difference!

The only draw back is Window controls, Fuel Tank lead and other controls should have been self illuminated.

I purchased a 2016 Nissan Rogue SL AWD with the premium package and love it. It is very fuel efficient, drives smooth, holds the road and corners excellent for this class SUV. Comes with a ton of tech and safety features for the money. Great value. Would definitely buy again.

Rogue Rip-Off

In January 2016 I traded in my 2008 Rogue on a brand new 2016 Rogue. My 2008 Rogue has 112,000 miles on it. It had just rolled over to 100,000 miles and the transmission had to be replaced. Luckily it was covered under warranty. Nissan was having so many problems with the transmissions they extended the warranty so I got lucky. 12,000 miles and 14 months later the transmission went out again and had to be replaced. Again, this was covered under warranty, however this transmission was only warranted for a year. I didn't want to take a risk so I decided to trade the car on a new Rogue. I was told how much better the new CVT transmission is than the old transmission. Well the 2016 Rogue that I have had for 11 months and has 12,700 miles on it is now having the transmission replaced. I went to the sales department because I want to trade the piece of junk and they will only give me $16,000 for it which is ridiculous. The fact that I was even willing to buy another Nissan should have shown my loyalty to them and you would think they would take that into consideration when considering my trade. I will never buy another Nissan and cannot wait until I can get rid of the one that I have. On a positive note the service department at the dealership that I go to is wonderful. The service advisors are great and they make sure I am taken care of with a loaner vehicle while my car is being worked on. It's disappointing that Nissan continues to put out a poor product. This was my third Nissan and will definitely be my last.

I am impressed with the gas mileage. I have owned the Rogue since August 2016. So far, I average 27 city and 36 highway. Driving seat is comfortable but I would like another 2 inches of leg room. Plenty of head room. Storage space is ample. Wish they had a sunroof for the base model S. Still figuring out all of the electronics and the weather hasn't allowed me to test winter traction. Speakers are weak but this is a base model. Would highly recommend as a cheap all-wheel drive that is predominantly front wheel drive. Nissan wins with this one. Now at 40,000 miles, brakes squeak but dealership advises it is not an issue since brakes are at 80%. Now sold. Traded in

Bad Front End Struts

I had a Nissan Altima before getting the Rouge and I generally really liked that car but also had the problems with my 2005 front end struts making squeaking noises, but thought it was just a rare issue. At about 500 miles, my 2016 Rogue started making a popping noise in the front wheels area when I turn the steering wheel. Nissan states it is a manufacturing defect in the struts and they a working on a solution. I already had the one of the front struts replaced and it is now much worse than the original one. Right now I am looking at an average of a new front strut every 1k miles. I was told they know it is annoying but it is not a safety issue. That tells me they are not overly concerned with finding a solution. The paint scars and scratches easily as the paint on the wheels starting coming off within the first month. I am glad that I leased the vehicle instead of buying the Nissan so that I will only have it a few years. I'm sure if I tried to sale this Rogue, no one would even drive it out of my driveway the way it is popping.

Exploding Moonroof

The moon roof spontaneously exploded. If you take your car into any Nissan dealership they will tell you that this is unheard of and impossible. They will also try to tell you to go through insurance because Nissan will try to get out of everything and anything so they are not responsible. Nissan needs to advise their service workers and managers to respect their customers and not be so dismissive so quickly when something is IN FACT, THE TRUTH. Clearly there was a defect in the glass of the moon roof because it shattered all on its own. There are plenty of cases and lawsuits against this issue as well so IT IS POSSIBLE AND DOES HAPPEN. Yes, even to you NISSAN!
