(1/27/22 UPDATE: Living in the Northeast, we get all the wonderful elements. Safety features decided to disable themselves. Took it down to Nissan, and the tech guy said that there is nothing they can do because Nissan developers are (his words) fucking morons for putting the sensors directly underneath the bumper. So when water, mud, snow hit it, it disables. So I said your telling me that I have safety features that are supposed to protect me and my family in the elements, but the elements prevent the safety features from working! And he said "that is exactly what I am telling you".) ORIGINAL POST: I have had my 2021 Nissan Rogue SV Premium Edition for 2 months now. More than half the time it has been in the shop. CVT issues strike again! 2300 miles and the SUV buckles when merging onto the highway, RPMs shoot up to 5-7 when the vehicle is at 15 mph preventing it to accelerate. If it wasn't for the quick instincts of the driver coming at me, I would have been in a horrific accident due to no acceleration coming out of a side street. This vehicle has been nothing but problematic since purchasing, which is really too bad.

CVT malfunction

I just purchased a brand new rogue 7 days ago and yesterday I took it to the freeway to test the propilot and after 5 minutes the warning light was on and said CVT malfunction Service not available. I pulled off to a stop turned off the engine and restart again. The warning light was gone. I got back to the freeway again and turned the autopilot again and about 3 minutes warning light on again. I can't turned it off so had pulled over and stopped the engine and restart again this time the CVT malfunction light was gone but engine check light was on and can't turned it off. I called the dealer and dropped the car off for them to fix it. It was frustrated when you spent over $32k for a brand new car and only last for 120 miles and had to go to the shop. Never experience anything like this before on a new car. Very disappointed, should have gone for a different brand.

Fell in love and traded in my 2017. This is my third Rogue and after my 2017 i was convinced never again... but I did and now regret! A couple of months ago when it was extreme cold temperatures my 2021 wouldn’t start. Would turn over but engine wouldn’t engage... first time this happened thought it was my fault cause foot slipped off break while pressing the push button start. Waited 15 min, attempted again and it started. A couple weeks later, happened again. Only parked for approximately an hour, this time my foot was firmly on brake and no start! Tried to boost, waited it out and nothing. With only 500 km , I decided to have towed back to dealership! Unacceptable!!! Computer scans and error after error appeared. Now the reports are with the Nissan engineering for review and conclusion for fix. The 2021 rogue has proven to have issues with start when temperatures is -15 C and colder! The reading suggest replace computer but results are still under review. I have issued complaint with NIssan Canada... still waiting for conclusion. Very concerning cause I travel daily in rural communities and winter is 6 months long with daily normal temperatures of -15 for at least 3-4 months. Caution if you live in colder climates!!! Want to give 5 star for the mere beautiful change inside and out, the ride is amazing but the starting issue drops the rating to only 2 stars:(

23 hours old

Do not buy. 2021 Nissan Rogue 23 hours old and 170.0 miles suffered catastrophic engine failure. Worst part is that Nissan left my parents who are in their 80’s on the side of the freeway in the middle of nowhere and car can’t charge phone and it’s cold and raining with semi trucks passing them and hazard lights will not work. Nissan says we are sending a truck but we are going to leave you on the side of the road and you need to call Uber or negotiate with the tow company. Nissan’s response put their lives in danger for over 4 hours. My mom and dad are terrified of this car and Nissan’s response.... I will bet everything I own that Honda or Toyota’s response would have been way better and It’s not possible to be any worse...
Two recalls and malfunctioning software

According to my technician at Summerlin Nissan in Ft. Myers, FL...the possible malfunctions "may be taken care of with the two recalls we have on your vehicle." My reply: What recalls? Antilock breaking software issues was the recall they have allegedly resolved. After 5 hours of sitting in a waiting room. Next issue: Constantly being told I need an oil change. Service light comes on with the little oil can. Its so cute. (Sarcasm). Started when I first had 350 miles on the car. Took it in. It is properly set in the dashboard of the car, but there is something else malfunctioning causing this to again, malfunction. Next issue: Sonar Lane Change Blind Spot Detection shuts off at will. No reason. Next Issue: While sitting in the parking lot of a grocery store, every warning light came on in my car. Tech told me to wipe off the sensor. Um, which sensor and where is it located and why, after just over 1000 miles should I have to be doing this in the first place. Called Nissan USA directly. They told me a whole different story aside from what the service techs and manager told me. They claim to have told them that I refused to leave the vehicle for service. In a manner of speaking. After waiting over 4 hours for what was supposed to have been an appointment, I had no more time and they had no loaner. So, yes, I did refuse, but I have the text trail to prove the actual comments and the photos sent to the techs of all these screw ups. Awaiting to hear from Nissan to see if they are going to buy this piece of tin back from me. My first, and certainly my last Nissan. After one year they were going to pull the engine as even the dealership broke the vehicle whilst in the shop. Traded it. Just over a year old. Back to a Hyundai. Top of the line....if this is as good as it gets, I feel sorry for Nissan.
