(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:(

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.

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...
What is Nissan thinking? No HomeLink? Low Horn?

CONS Major: #1 - I purchased the top of the line package out the door at $42K, and dont get a Homelink? #2 - The horn is LOW. Nobody can hear us. Had to get this replaced. #3 - The shifters have changed where its (R-N-D) instead of (D-N-R). That's right, there are going to be accidents for sure. I thought I could get used to this, but I pause and do a lot thinking before I move the vehicle since my wife and I share 2 vehicles with the shifters backward. Definitely dont understand #1, #2 #3. Engineers must have been drunk when they finalized this. Annoying #4 You will feel the road. Noisy. I guess its a trade off if you want to get more MPG. #5 Tires will skid in heavy rain at 50mph on highway. We were on a 80mph highway, went 50, and started to skid. Car didnt feel sturdy. Had to reduce to 30 mph. This is less performant than my Murano. I will change the tires after a couple of years to top of the line. #6 Very expensive! We paid MSRP and the dealer squeezed us an extra 2K out of us for this stupid dealer package because new cars are in high demand due to chip shortage. Looking back, we should have went to another dealer. But at 42K, this is way over priced for what we are getting. I will say the 0% financing did save us a little. #7 Navigation is incorrect at times, even the MPH, which the adaptive cruise control is based on. Sometimes the adaptive cruise goes too fast or accelerates too fast. Not always accurate, have to pay attention. PROS - Saves a lot of gas, good for local work commute. - Love the new electronics, heads up display, steering assist and all that jazz. It is very nice. I think every automaker top of the line will have these. - Seats pull back when you turn off the engine, lets you get out easier. - Safety features - Size good enough for my family of 4. - Even though twice as expensive as my last car, it was actually $300 a year to insure it. Nice surprise! I guess insurance considers all the extra safety features. WOULD I BUY IT AGAIN? I dont know, but I would have most likely gotten the Mazda CX5 Signature.

I just bought this car and have had it for 32 days and the computer is making the service light come on. I just took it to the dealer and they said the entire computer needs to be changed and is why the check engine light keeps turning back on.

Better technology but overpriced

I recently upgraded my 2018 Rogue SV for a Rogue SV 2021. I love the new exterior design, and new safety technology. However, I failed to review the new Rogue SV features before I went to a dealership. The sales guy focused on showing me the new features and never mentioned what was taken away from the 2018 SV nor I asked for it. Now I am very disappointed that my 2018 SV had more convenient features than my 2021 SV and yet I paid more for the 2021 car. Rogue SV 2021 doesn't include: Motion-Activated Liftgate -kick sensor Power liftgate- Keyfob-opening & closing Blind spot sensor (alarm sound is very low) power heated front seats Divide-N-Hide and multi-level Cargo System Power height-adjustable liftgate After this rip-off, I will think it twice before I lease another car from Nissan again. They overpriced the New Rogue SV, and if you want the old standard SV features, you would have to go for the SL trim and of course pay at least $5000 or more than an SV.

My daughter bought this 2021 Nisson Rogue, piece of junk. It has 1900 miles on it and it is in the shop for the second time, should of been 3rd. Imagine driving down the interstate, engine failure coming across the dash, the car pulling itself over to the side of the road and putting itself in park, scarey huh. And Nissan's solution, don't replace the car, oh no, it needs a module that they have no idea when it will be available and whether it will even fix the problem. I drive a Toyota and would never even consider a Nisson, especially after this. She gave this piece of jumk back to Nissan.

Problem with the AC, the temperature cannot be controlled, it comes out hot from the driver's fans and I took it to the dealer and they told me that it was designed to work that way, which is normal, it drives me crazy. I've tried to get the problem solved but until now they say it's normal and bought a dozen new cars and it's the first time this has happened to me with a 42-mile car
