First purchased a new Nissan Altima was good car until the transmission went bad. Decided to stick wit h Nissan and traded to a 2011 Rogue Was good car until like the Altima the transmission gave out. Was going to have dealer install a new transmission but after reading reviews by other customers the new transmissions were giving out soon after installed . One of the dealer's service agents told me that unless Nissan came up with a different and better transmission they were going to lose customers. I traded the Rogue for a new Jeep and I will never again buy a Nissan.

Bought the Rouge in July. After 600 miles of driving, the gas pedal and steeringwheel started viabrating between 30 and 60 miles per hour. Brought it back to the dealership. They checked it out and found a small vibration. After four times bringing it back to the dealership and my complaints , they brought in the big guns (Factory rep). After a twenty minute drive that I drove to go over the same things the (rep) said exactly what I expected. The vibration is a characteristic of the car. Nothing they can do. Stuck with it. Keep the payments coming please. To me It seems Nissan has no real interest in the problem. Hope that you are not one of the unlucky owners with this problem.

Rouge SV - Vibrates significantly. Stay away from this car! The price and interiors are nice; but what's the point if the car vibrates and makes the commute unbearable?? It seems Nissan knows about this issue but the company and its dealers are trying to push it under the rug. NOT A GOOD WAY TO BUILD A BRAND. Carlos Ghosn - Are you listening? This is extremely disappointing under your watch.

Mechanical issue with no answer

My wife and I bought our Rogue in July, 2016. We have taken it on four long vacations and always found it very comfortable, consistent and easy to drive. However, our first clue there was a problem came on our first trip, just two weeks after buying it. We were in a traffic jam on I-95 in New Jersey about to enter NYC, first week of August on a hot, beautiful, sunny day. Suddenly the air conditioning quit working and started blowing out hot air. This went on for about a half hour, then the A/C started working well again. No problems the rest of the trip. I should have taken it in for repairs then but did not. Just over two years later, as we are entering winter, the heater would only blow air conditioned air out of the driver side vents in front and back. Passenger side worked well. Took it to a good, trusted independent mechanic for repairs and a switch was fixed for about $130 and everything was fine. After five or six weeks, we had the same issue. Took it back in and we were told the thermostat had to be replaced. About $350 later it was working again. For a week. Took it back and the cleaned out the compressor. Worked fine but we were told to contact Nissan dealer to see about warranty as the next option would cost about $1100. Sure enough, about two days later the driver side is once again blowing out air conditioned air only. Took it to local Nissan dealer who said a code showed up and they replaced the "problem" for about $390. The next day, barely 15 hours after picking it up, the same freezing issue strikes yet again. The dealer was very polite but explained the next repair option would cost $2000 (same thing independent mechanic said would cost $1100) but if they found an issue they would take it up the ladder to Nissan to try and get help on the cost of repair. The bottom line? My wife and I are done with this lemon and are going to trade it in on something OTHER than a Nissan.
Rav4 or Subaru are better options than Rogue

Interior Color for Center Console is Bright Red, which is not good. Door buttons don't have any light/Glow to look up in Dark/nights. Gear knob is not comfortable. 1 USB is not sufficient. Very hard to locate Power/USB port in dark/nights. Makes Lot of noise while accelerating and driving, even can't hear audio/music inside while accelerating. Also Rumbles while Accelerating. Poor Materials for some parts inside. Makes some odd noise when turning ON/OFF heater. Fuel Economy is below par. City-23 mpg and Highway-28mpg. Average 25mpg. Media Controls on Steering are not Convenient. Finger Straining. Backup Camera won't come up immediately when reversing. sometimes have to stop and start the car to get backup camera ON.

Purchased at wife's request. She is 5 feet tall and weighs 98 lbs. Loves that she can sit high enough to see all around. Loves the color and interior. Very comfortable for a small vehicle. Her previous car (and now my car) an Infiniti G37. She prefers the Rogue! 3/16/2017 update . . . . Still a great solid little SUV. No problems experienced. MPG remains steady. Highly recommend. 9/16/2017 update . . . . All systems go. Still a great value. Mileage has actually improved to about 31MPG. If you are looking for a solid little SUV, the Rogue fills the bill. Wife Loves, Loves this car. 3/18/19 update . . . . Still driving this top notch SUV. Mileage now 19, 228. Wife's car and now retired so it does not get driven as often. The only change I would note is the quality of the seat fabric. This model has a light tan fabric interior. A couple of stains were tough to remove and the fabric shows some deterioration. 3/18/2020 . . . . . very few miles over the past year. Can't get her to part with it. Loves the car as it fits her 5 foot, 100 lb. frame. I rarely drive it. As a 6 foot, 200 lb. person I am not as comfortable. I drive a 2017 Ford F150. The window noise is a bit more in the Rogue.

I did porches this SUV two weeks ago and was at the service twice with same problem-vibration of the vehicle on speed 55 mph and up. Vibration of the engine and all vehicle under red light or any stops with gear on. The service department perform wheel balance and alignment -no change, they offer me to drive any other same stile of the vehicle and what is surprise- SAME problem. Manager told me that is the way how this vehicles perform and live with it. I did made a bid mistake to porches it-JUNK and this is MY.

I love my Rogue because it has enough room to fit pretty much anything. My mom owns a shop and we are constantly moving merch, so it helps to have a car that can fit everything in one load. The back seat is easy to fold down and the roof is generously high. The car itself is sleek as all heck; I put maximum tint on all of the windows (except the windshield) on top of the factory tint and it looks even more sporty than before. It doesn’t just look good, it performs great as well. If you are looking for a reliable car, this is it!

The only thing that is annoying is that there is no glow or light by the key ignition :( when you go to start the car you have to search for the key entrance which is very annoying. Other than that I just leased a brand new 2016 after returning my 2011 that I extended the lease 2 years and love it. The 2011 was great but the 2016 is quieter, rides better, handles better and feels like the older Murano. Outstanding as far as I am concerned.

I have owned the base 2wd 2016 Nissan Rogue since the Sunday after Thanksgiving 2016. I got a great deal, saved thousands. I have bern very happy with the mileage in ECO mode, the 2 highest on the highway being 39.7 and 43.9 mpg on 87 octane gas and it only has 4400 miles. The size is just right and the zero gravity seats are so much more comfortable than my previous Jeep. And no initial or any issues at all (unlike the new Jeep Renegade, which had me at the dealer every other week and had the most uncomfortable seats I have ever experienced). The handling, acceleration, CVT and visibility are great for me and there is nothing that would prevent me from buying this car again. For a base model, I am getting a lot for my money and I am very happy with my purchase.

I'm getting 14.2 in the city 24 on the highway. Should be 23/28. I called Nissan no customer service. They do not care as long as the vehicle is running. I'm not alone. I found many others with the same issues. Low mpg. Nissan blames epa. But they use these numbers to sell Rogues

The CVT Is The Kiss of Death...

I just put 500 miles on a 2016 S model rental in southwest Florida. It had just 3000 miles on the clock. The positive: The A/C provided plenty of cool, quiet cooling. The engine was smooth at idle, even with the A/C engaged. Plenty of room for 4 checked pieces of luggage. The doors provided easy entering and exiting. The satellite radio reception was very good. Wind noise was minimal. The dash layout was good, with easy to reach controls, easy to read gauges and easy to navigate trip computer & settings. The 12 volt outlets were powered with or without the ignition on. The LED daytime running lights are sharp looking. The leg room front & rear was very adequate. The minuses: The 'snowmobile' transmission always caused the engine to drone loudly during normal acceleration. At around 40 mph the engine would bog down. The 'sport mode' surprisingly made it worse, even with the driver only. The firm front & rear seats were uncomfortable after 25 miles. The space carved out of the dash by the ignition switch made inserting the key difficult. The outside temperature reading was always off 8-10 degrees. The speakers were very weak, even for a basic model. The passenger side wiper arc was small, missing about 25% of the right side windshield. With the cruise control engaged a slight incline caused the engine to drone loudly. The halogen headlights were just so so bright. When opening the front doors one's hand would hit the lock button, a potential problem if the key was still in the ignition. Did I mention that dreaded transmission? If this represents Nissan's auto drivetrains I will never rent one again, let alone buy one. Just mine and my wife's 2 cents' worth...

I bought my 2016 Rogue in September and due to a busy fall travel schedule managed to already put 4,700 miles on it. That said, there are a few issues that make me a bit concerned about the future. This is my first brand new car.The heater is making a sound much like the motor is dying (this happened to my previous vehicle, a 2001 Nissan Frontier, about a year ago!). Also, the paint scratches very easily - so that really sucks. After getting the car washed, water will leak down onto the gas pedal. Finally, there is a high pitched squeak coming from the right side when I hit a bump or divot in the road. Other than these things, I really love my Rogue. It is great for a single 30-something guy with a big dog. Hoping it isn't a lemon.

Bought new 6/2016. First couple thousand miles were great. My wife loved the Rogue. Then a chirp,chirp,chirp,chirp noise started at 63 mph especially when decelerating. No noise above 68. About 15000 miles now and noise is louder. Contacted dealer.(very good dealer) Road tested with their technician. He hears the noise. They replaced the front wheel bearings which they found to be noisy. NO CHANGE. Technician took new Rogue off of lot, drove, it had same noise as mine at same speeds.Gave me 1-800-nissan-1 number to call. Back and forth with friendly Nissan factory reps. They will investigate and get back. They did. One week goes by. Met with factory rep at dealer. Went for a ride in my car. Same noise. Went for ride in new Rogue off lot. Same noise. Rep says this is "inherent in the design of the car, cannot be fixed". I think this is a brush off by the factory for a known defect of this vehicle. Except for this the car rides harshly but has a great interior. NO MORE NISSAN. They (factory) know about this problem but it will take re-engineering to fix. Cheaper to stone wall the owners. Think about it. The manufacturer tells you they cannot repair your car? It is all about money. Nissan is apparently aware that there are several thousand just like this out there and it must be a frequency associated with a major component that would be expensive to replace. These vehicles are built in Korea and the US. Mine is Korean built. Look on inside of drivers door for information. This is a safety issue due to driver distraction. Vehicle has just over 23000 miles now and still makes same noise at a wider range of speeds. Never again. UPDATE! At 30000 miles took Rogue to different Nissan dealer. They did microphones sound test. Found noise coming from Transmission bearing. Replaced transmission. Noise gone. Now drive Toyota RAV4.UPDATE! Now at 44000 miles. My wife has put most of the miles on the Rogue. She loves it. The CVT transmission is its best feature. The original noise was in fact a transmission bearing. Original dealer blows me off, next dealer gives great service. Go figure. I have 17000 on my 2018 RAV4. Great car BUT the worst feature is it’s six speed transmission. Works perfectly but at highway speeds it has to shift down constantly in order to maintain cruise speeds. (70,75). Very irritating. Great around town and short trips. The use of CVT transmission is growing. Honda and others. Reason? It’s always in the right gear. Small four cylinder engines don’t produce enough power for continuous cruising so they are constantly down shifting. CVT constantly makes small adjustments to maintain power and torque. Much nicer at highway speeds.

Until recently I was a advocate for Nissan vehicles. We owned an Altima, then a Pathfinder, then a Maxima. Should have quite while I was ahead. Bought the 2016 Rogue brand new and after only 2 years they inform me that I need a new transmission. New one $5100, used $4400. Good bye Nissan.

We purchased our 2016 Nissan Rogue brand new only 2 miles on it. I have had the transmission repaired and now replaced. I have 61 k on it and have had nothing but problems. Pretty much we spent a lot of money for a pile of junk that has left my children and I stuck on the side of the road twice now. After first fix it was only 1k miles before it went out again. I would never recommend this car to anyone. I recommend also checking to see if the car you plan to purchase has the cvt transmission because They are crap, pretty much like a rubber band. Other things to know is that you can not put transmission fluid in or check transmission fluid you have to take it to shop that means $ spent on something stupid you should be able to do your self. Never again!!

What did they do to my Rogue?

This was not my first Rogue. I previously leased a 2013 Rogue which I was But the worst in love with. It was a high quality solid suv. The seats were comfortable and the size was just perfect for me. I never had a single problem, but in all fairness the mileage on the 2013 was not as good as the 2016. When I turned it in at the end of the lease it only had 12,000 miles on it because i had 2 major surgeries that left my Rogue sitting in the driveway over winter for about 8 weeks one time and 4 weeks the second time. I was ve surgury tempted to buy it but instead I let the salesman talk me into leasing the "all new" redesigned Rogue. Biggest mistake of my life. It was larger but felt bulky to me with those flared out fenders and the drivers headrest still bothers me as far as my comfort goes. But the worst is yet to come. I leased in spring so I really didn't need the heater. The first time I did It didn't work. A freezing cold day and no heat! I drove immediately to the dealership and cancelled my appointment I had been headed to. They replaced whatever part it was and said this has been happenning to some Rogues. Not what I wanted to hear. Then another glitch in the summer. the passanger window refused to go back up. I had to physically force it by pushing on the window button and yanking upwards inch by inch. Of course when I took it to the dealers it magically didn't do it, it worked just fine for them. Now my biggest complaint. I had knee replacement surgery in January and the Rogue sat in the driveway for 3 weeks. I got into my vehicle for the first time after my surgery to go to physical therapy and when I put it in reverse to pull out of my driveway I heard a very loud thump. As I continued to drive it continued to thump loudly, but I could not cancel my appointment this time and it was close to my house. As I drove home the thump got quieter , I looked under the car when I got home to see if something was caught under there or maybe it was ice build up. I am an older woman and know nothing about cars. I waited a couple days because I had to work then took it to the dealership on my first day off. Now here comes the shocker. They told me the rear brakes were completely rusted out and had to be replaced which warranty does NOT cover. I was really upset and argued the Rogue is only a year old, less than 10,000 miles, this never happenned to my 2013 which sat for months and had even less mileage, etc. In general I made a scene. The sevicewoman said I can show you your rusted out brakes, you don't drive enough, parts are made cheaper now, they put something in the road salt this year, she had every excuse in the book. I am not a total dummy, if any of that were true, most lf the cars sitting in their lot would have rusted out brakes too, and loudly stated why would I ever want to lease a Nissan anything ever again. Every customer waiting for their car to be serviced heard me, Then my salesman appeared and began to give me the same speach starting with you don't drive it enough. If that was a problem older people everywhere would be replacing their brakes. He finally realized how upset I was and went into the service managers office. They agreed to fix the brakes using "courtesy" funds from the Burdick dealership. I waited 2 hours for the repair all the while my stomach was churning. The salesman came out when it was finished and very kindly told me if it happenned again I would have to pay as they couldn't do this again and to drive more often which I do because my granddaughter lives in Pulaski NY a 70 mile round trip every weekend. I believe he knew in his heart this was a flaw in Nissan parts, not in my lack of driving. I am considering a differnt make of SUV when my lease is up.. I really believe the quality of the Nissan Rogue and all Nissans has gone downhill in an attempt to save money they are using cheaper parts. I wish I had bought out my 2013.

Back up camera a joke

I find the back up camera to be almost useless, there is a green tinge to the screen in daylight, and at night the sreen is awash in white light that it is unusable. Other than that I give a high marks for it's fuel economy, 33mpg on the highway and 27.5 in local driving. The instruments are all conveniently within reach and id laid out very well. The ride is like being in a 2014 Honda Accord, not that it's that good but because the Accord had a choppy ride and was not comfortable at all. All in all Iam pleased with my Rogue and would check it out again when I'm ready to purchase I new vehicle.

I agree with another poster that said don't waste your money. I rarely leave reviews but this car has been just AWFUL! My vehicle has less than 24K miles and it has been in the dealership for repairs 3 times and has yet another issue that will require me to return to the dealership for repairs. This vehicle has had way more issues than my prior vehicle that had 185,000 miles on it. Couple that with the poor sales experience and just ok service experiences I have had have me absolutely sure that I will NEVER EVER purchase another Nissan.

some of this models comes with manufacturer problems. After 1 week bought it, it start to crackle noise when turn the wheels, right or left side. After first attempt to reparation, passed 7 weeks start again the same noise problem. Nissan corporation do not have a right solution now, they say the engineering are still working for a real solution. I mean, this models comes with suspension issues. I'm frustrated.

The car handles nicely for a 2.5L and the entertainment is nice. The only thing i absolutely hate about it is the seats. They are really uncomfortable and push your head forward if youre trying to rest your back on the seat. The bottom part of the seat is ok and holds you in place, id rate the back but the headrest restricts me from resting comfortably. Update 8/16/17: Had the car for a year and a half, the rearview mirror fell off...ended up trading the car in and getting a 2016 mustang gt.

Got this 2016 Nissan Rogue SL last year for Christmas. I totally enjoy it and it is going to my car soon since I will be getting my license soon. The cargo space is spacious, especially the Divide and Hide system that is only on the Rogue. The seats are really comfortable and the car overall is easy to use. Few issues that I have about the car is: noisy tranny, really slow (compared to a 1999 Honda Accord 2.3l V4 150hp), navigation system freezes or doesn't work at all once in a while, recently the car wouldn't recognize the key even though it is in the vehicle, really huge a-pillars, not that many choices for audio and entertainment system. Few things that I like that other companies doesn't offer (ex.: Honda): Surround View 360 degree montior system, a volume and tune nob, Bose audio system, the divide and hide system. I really wish Nissan would increase the number of audio apps that it would support and would like to fix up the navigation issue.

I love my Rogue. There is not one thing that I am unhappy with. Driving the car is a pleasure especially when hauling people and things. It handles well and I especially appreciate all the safety features.

Do your research, performance, savings, practical use of the SUV. The price range compare to others same size weight and features.( Honda CRV, Toyota RAV4, Kia San Fe. Nissan Rogue base on the price is a better buy.Okay after 4 years paint comein off in roof even if we detail the car every 8 months, MPG is a lie you get 24 or 22mpg not 32mpg my wife is a safe and very slow driver and the best she has done is 26mpg. The car is not worth $32,000 or $35,000. Cute,style but l did overrated the quality of the car.Sorry my mistake Nissan offer to pay 60% of paint job to fixed the roof but my view no car should lose is paint in 4 years(and we took care of the car ) My other nissan Pathfinder Sl paint job lasted 16 years. Today's quality nissan cars leave lots to desire. Will not buy again a Nissan a loyal customer from 24 years.

This is a solidly built and reliable small SUV, with everything you want or need in a dependable vehicle. It has enough get up and go for all but the serious race car fanatic and handles like a dream. I've never been happier with a car....or truck.

Purchased new in 2016, now it has 52000K (32000Miles). I have been to a dealership about 12+ times. Suspension problems are nonstop problems. Joints, strut, shock absorber, links bla bla bla. It doesn't stop. A/C sucks. If you live in Canada, you will freeze. In the summer.....good luck. A/C flow is not good. Annoying clicking noise in lower speed from the transmission???? What is going on. At Nissan......"that is Normal". Verdict: no more Nissan (3th one)

Suspension Problems - Buyers Beware!!!

Less than 1,000 miles on the vehicle and I start hearing loud popping noises when turning. The first time I take the vehicle back to the dealer they tell me it's a known problem and they are waiting on Nissan USA for a technical bulletin. Fast forward to today, I've got around 25K miles and have had my suspension fixed 3 times for the same popping noise. The vehicle has a hard idle and the headlines vibrate, which is unpleasant to watch while you are sitting in traffic. I wish that I had never purchased this vehicle and seriously considering dumping it before the factory warranty has expired.

I loved my Rouge at first. My 2016 Rouge vibrates at a low speed and idols. Its been in the shop two different times and was told that they just do that. It did not do that for the first half year. I am very dissapointed and probably will trade it in, and not for another Nissian. Sorry update 3/21/18: its been in the shop a third time, still vibrates, they said not as bad as it was. I cant trade it in yet because It only has trade in value that I still owe on and I put $5.000 down. Cant afford to trade in.

Now I've had the car for over two years and I still like it. I would prefer a larger car though, I can't afford it. The only complaint I have is that it has and continues to make a whistling noise from the driver's side wheel. My mechanic has not been able to correct it. And I will not go to the dealership.

PURGE VALVE CONNECTOR, and CVT TRANAMISSION

Went to Patterson Nissan, Longview Tx. Check engine light was on. Found a broken wire on the purge valve connnector. After 2 days, went back to dealer as they had not contacted me on doing the repair. The dealer wanted $1,700.00 to fix a broken wire on this connector. Said the whole wire harness had to be replaced. (For real) they said it was a comon problem. Nissan never mentioned the TSB, but it is a Technical service bulletin, advising this can happen. Fyi.... local garage, Kilgore Automotive, fixed my broken wire on my Nissan. Cost.... $65.00 There is a TSB (technical Service Bulletin) out from Nissan, on this very same problem, as it is a known existing problem! Yet, Patterson Nissan of Longview either does not know about it, or they are trying to stick it to customers, to get this corrected. There is a "pig tail" available online, to fix this too. It is about $140.00, installed! Wonder why Patterson could not do that, as well!!! BEWARE of Patterson Nissan is either not aware of this, or were trying to screw me. Jury is out on that. Also, on the CVT TRANSMISSION, Nissan says if you use any replaement fluid, rather than their iwn, it will void the warranty. Their fluid is two to three times the price of other fluids... beware!

This Nissan Rogue SL AWD and I got it brand new. had a 2008 fully loaded SL I fell in love with it. I had to get one, coming from a 2014 Nissan Sentra SR to a Rogue SL was Great comfort is amazing,, pick up is better could be a little better but its a 4 cyl. Also the Bose audio was the best sell for me I love my music, GPS is great but I am pretty upset we have to pay almost $200 just to update the maps. also the Nissan connect app is to die for forgot to lock your car? no problem use the app... with a small charge of $20 a month now that stinks to!! but other then that the car is amazing I have had it since July 21st 2016 I just hit 26k miles and I love driving it , my miles will tell that to LOL.

I rented a Nissan Rogue 2016 in Las Vegas. Handling was so so as the car was taking inclination when turning and the driving wheel was very vague around the middle point. But the worse has to come. A crazy driver crossed my road twice and I had to make an emergency braking. Then big surprise: front wheels blocked and no ABS did not engage. I had to pump the brake as it was current 20 years ago! I thought that my last time was coming speed was decreasing very slowly. Hopefully not collision occurred. What a dangerous car...

I have had my 2016 Nissan Rogue for about 3 1/2 years now and last month I had to replace my battery and pay full price along with diagnostic fee The last 2 1/2 weeks my car has left my kids and I stranded on the side of the freeway 2 times. Ovisously I had to pay for a tow because it was out of towing distance, which didn't make it better. I was left without a car both times for 4 days while in the shop. I had to pay 2 times for a diagnostic fee. The first time it was fixed and given back. They said it was the CVT unit and needed to be replaced. Apparently everything was replaced. They assured me I would not have any problem, until 1 week later my car breaks down AGAIN! Now they say they need to replace my whole transmission ! That it was a faulty body valve, REALLY on a brand new car. I took it off the lot with only 5 miles. I will be trading this car in because from 2012 and up, nissan's transmissions are poorly made and will always give problems regardless of a new transmission.
Is this really a CVT?

Had a Maxima for six years before trading for this vehicle. There is absolutely no comparison in performance of the transmissions. This Rogue behaves more like a standard 4-speed automatic. Unpleasant for me because the Maxima shifting was so much smoother, responsive and predictable. Update: This vehicle is practical, functional, economical. It is a good size and nicely appointed. It has ZERO fun quotient! Engineers must have designed it and built it on a Monday.

2016 Nissan Rogue SL AWD with Premium package.Huge mistake buying this car. Trouble from get go. Struts and suspension were bad from two weeks into it. Had to drive 6 hours RT twice through sleet and snow to get it fixed. Bad paint job...the traveling really messed it up. They replaced front struts and springs, which did work but who is to know if the problem would come back. Told me that the factories buy the parts from different companies and some are bad and some good. They left grease and some kind of oil all over front end and doors. When I took it to be detailed, they thought that it was a used car. By the time that it was fixed, I was so tired of the blah drive and cheap materials used to build the car inside and out, that I finally traded it in for a Mazda CX-5 GT with tech and activesense. Painful, but worth it. No comparison in performance and quality and appearance. The Nissan forward emergency brakes are a joke. I do very much miss the birds eye view camera and the power rear door, but everything else makes up for it. I do not like that Nissan wants you to pay for their Nissan Connect, when Mazda includes the features in the vehicle for the one time price of car. The Rogues cheap looking leather doesn't even wrap around the inner sides of the seat. The drivers seat made me limp every time I got out of the car. The lights are awful when you go downhill. The steering is awful. I could never relax on winding roads, instead of natural mindless steering on a decent vehicle. The Nissan actually had a difficult time going over the little bump to enter my garage....I had to very carefully gas it a little to enter. I am pretty sure that the MPG that the car showed on the screen were not true at all, because I was constantly filling it up, whereas the Mazda shows the same good mileage, but the tank remains fairly full for a long time. The Mazda gas tank holds less than a gallon more than the Nissan, but not enough to make such a considerable difference. Nissan needs to build better cars, instead of trying, unsuccessfully, to add fun frills. Imagine, it had to be a pretty bad experience to do such a drastic thing .... taking such a loss trading in a brand new vehicle.

I bought this car very abruptly my old vehicle was breaking down and i needed a new one quickly. After going to ford and having a terrible experiance i decided to look a new nissan store that just opened. Big mistake, in total after interest i payed over 39k for a 24k car now this is my fault for getting a bad rate on interest. The car was great at first i loved the ease of getting in and out, the forward visibilty, etc. However, blind spots wear quite a problem in traffic especially changing lanes. But, this stuff i could live with, it was until my transmission started to change abruptly, i took it to the dealer <its about 3 months owning the vehicle with 3600 miles on it atm> and they flashed the pc, which seemed to fix it a bit. Then my it would acclerate without my intention speciaclly when i would brake. I took it in and they said they could not find a problem. It happened 9 more times after that i brought it in 4 times in 2 weeks. They blamed it on me saying i was hitting the gas peddle while braking! EXCUSE ME!!! i have been driving since i was 14 and i was 46 at the time l, im pretty sure i know where my foot is. I knew this was going to get worse, and it did. I was driving going 35 on a street, car ahead applies breaks, i see and start to apply mine i was coming to a stop roughly a car length away from the car ahead when the engined reved up and drove forward. I was terrified i grab the emergency break lever pulling it trying to stop the car but it was to late and i slammed into the car ahead i tried to shift to park but it would not let me. I finally was able to shift into neutral i kept the handbrake on and turned off the vehicle. Thankfully the damage was not too severe. I bring it too the dealer and told them what happened and said i wanted an investigation done on the vehicle. This was about 3 days before the great flood of 2016 happend in louisiana. We were trapped for about two weeks water blocking our exit. My husband couldnt work for a whole month and they threatened to take the car because we couldnt pay. They would not understand that there was a giante flood and my husband was out of work. I told them give us to midway next month and they said no. They came and searched for the car and i gladly gave them the keys and say "thank you for taking the trash out." We are still recovering from the financial blow till this day. I went a whole two years without a vehicle. I was finally able to get one a 2018 toyota corrola le for 18k however because fo two repots from the flood the interest made it 39k. Even so i still feel 10x safer in this car then that. Metal death trap called a nissan rouge.
