Sold an unsafe and improper manufactured car

I purchased a 2023 Platinum Rogue in April 2023, 13 days later my car immediately slowed down and stopped on a major highway in front of a tractor trailer. The dashboard lit up with Engine malfunction alert then Nissan Connect emailed me about an Engine emissions malfunction. My children and I could have died if they tractor trailer would have hit us. The dealership charged $250. for a loaner car that should have been free and then told me that the throttle in the Engine is bad. How did it pass inspection? Where are the recalls? Nissan does not have the parts needed to fix the malfunction and it's on back order with no estimated arrival date but they're still selling the vehicles I've purchased Nissan cars since 2001, same service advisor since 2001 and this is the first time I've ever received car Engine malfunction on any vehicles but the Rogue has malfunctions after just having it for 13 days. The dealership catered to me on the day of purchase but act like they didn't know me when I brought the car in with an engine malfunction at day 13 of owning. I called Nissan Corporation. Nissan is producing cars and selling cars but not producing the required mechanical parts to fix car repairs when their vehicles malfunction. This is sad. They're going to want their car note payment on time but the owners time and expectation of having a safe vehicle means nothing.

Emission control problem

We just bought a Nissan rogue 2023. Less than 1500 miles on it and I get a message on my phone that there may be a problem with the emission control system. The engine light comes on so you can not use automatic start, cruise control, or several other features. We of course took it right away to be serviced at Nissan and they said it was a problem with the censor and there is not a fix yet. So the car is broke, no compensation, and they have not fixed or replaced car. Also they are still selling them and other consumers are having this problem too!

Losing faith in the 3 cylinder Nissan Rogue!

In January with 2600 miles my check engine light came on and the code pulled was P0181 Fuel Temperature Sensor. So the dealership ordered a new fuel injector pump, which took almost 2 months to come in. Got that fixed in the middle of March and 3 weeks later I was driving on the highway, on my way to the dealership for a oil change and tire rotation when I went to pass a car in front of me and as I accelerated, I heard a car misfire which I thought was someone else’s car bc I only have 7500 miles so that can’t be me, right?! But as I got a little further, my car started sounding louder and louder and as I gave it more gas It sounded like as if I was driving in 1st gear. No symbols or lights appeared on dashboard so I kept driving. As I got a little further, I could tell my car was not at the speed I should’ve been which would’ve been about 70-75. So I looked at my speedometer and it was climbing down from 65 then to 60. THEN….my dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree!!! And the car told me to “Please move over safely!” Now mind you, I am in the fast lane and my car is slowing down and now I need to move over 3 lanes and in front of cars and semis. This was so stressful and dangerous bc I wasn’t sure if my car was just going to stop dead in front of a car and then someone would hit me! But I survived that and managed to get into the emergency lane and put it into park. But then my engine died! I tried to start it after a few minutes and nothing. So I had to call the dealership and have my car towed there. Once there they said they would give me a loaner and call me the next day and give me an update. The loaner they gave me was another 2023 Rogue, but Platinum Edition with only 1600 miles. This car has all the “bells & whistles”. Very nice! So the next day they call me and tell me that they have to replace my engine! Something about a broken rod bearing. They said they have no idea how long it will take for the new engine to come in. Could take 1 or 2 months. So! It’s been a little over a month and I’m enjoying the loaner and all it’s bells and whistles, when all of a sudden I look at my dashboard gauges yesterday and I see the “check engine” light is on! With only 3300 miles. Omg! So now I’m like wth is wrong with these 2023 Rogues?! So this morning I take it to Auto Zone so they could do a diagnostic and pull the code for this light and….WAIT FOR IT….it’s another P0181 code. Yep! It’s the Fuel temperature sensor! So now I get to call the dealership up and let them know that the loaner they gave me has the same problem I had with my Rogue back in January when it had 2600 miles and now I’ll have to bring in this loaner for a repair. SMH! So definitely, Nissan needs to send out some recalls or something. Because this is dangerous. Maybe they should’ve just kept the 4 cylinder engine? Because the way I see it, that is the common denominator. I previously owned a 2018 & 2021 Rogue Sv 4 cyl. and never experienced these issues.

Warm feet or defrosted windshield one or the other

I have owned 2 Rogues previously to our new 2023 SV turbo. This model is very good with a couple exceptions. The heater selector had only 4 positions. In order to keep the windshield from frosting over fan must be on max and all air diverted to the windshield. This means that if you want to warm your feet and legs you have to switch the air flow down but then you must constantly scrape the windshield. Not great on a long trip. The next problem that came up is the transfer case started leaking oil. Now we are waiting for parts to have it repaired. The car has 4,000 km.

Strong fuel smell Nissan can't fix

Even after 6 to 7 hours in our garage when I come home, my wife's 2023 Rogue smells of strong fuel smell that leaks into our home. Nissan has had multiple complaints and has no fix. We have joined a class action lawsuit against for this issue. We are worried about our safety and health. Don't buy the Rogue! We don't want others to be disappointed. We do love the style and everything else, but this is a huge issue to us.

Can’t fix but can keep producing

2023 Nissan Rogue SV 4dr SUV AWD w/Prod. End 03/23 (1.5L 3cyl Turbo CVT)

I loved my Nissan, then the Head unit went in October and it’s now March and Nissan can’t fix it because they don’t have the parts! It’s the middle of March. On March 17th it will be a year and the car has been broke longer than it’s worked and can’t seem to be fixed! The car has the following issues, a fuel pump issue, warnings go off for no reason, it’s louder than it should be (a fire wall issue). Dispute having videos, Nissan can’t duplicate the issue so nothing can be done! The head unit with controls the cameras, radio, and charging ports and may be affecting the safety sensors, can’t be replaced because Nissan can’t get the parts! Yet they can keep making them? So I was told today after a month in a rental to come get my car in the same condition it was when I left it there! They can’t get parts! Update: So the head unit in the car took 8 months to fix, Nissan promised compensation and did not ever send, the car starting became hit or miss on the first attempt often taking extra time to get where I needed to be, come to find out another recall, While there was so many things to like about the vehicle, It’s not worth the stress and aggravation. It was the 2nd Nissan I owned and I can tell you there will never be a 3rd unless it’s given to me free and even then I think I would get rid of it. So in summary, the head unit only worked for the first 6 months, it was replaced and still rebooted all the time, the window issue was never repaired even though they claimed they replaced it, The fuel pump issue was never repaired cause they couldn’t duplicate however I had no problems recording the issue everyday. I wouldn’t recommend the Nissan to my worst enemy. I often wonder if the reviews on the vehicle on different websites are not bought. In my experience, it was an unreliable piece of junk that I am glad to be rid of! I owned the car exactly 2 years to the day, I purchased a Subaru forester, in witch I got better financing (2.9% verses Nissan 6.89%) and more options for less money.

Gas Leak in 2023 Rogue

2023 Rogue-Do not recommend! Gas smell inside cabin and outside of car. The smell did not start right away but was noticeable after about 2000 miles. Took the Rogue to Nissan dealership, and they said Nissan is aware of the issue and that the Rogue is under Engineering Review. Nissan dealership said they checked for gas leaks to make sure there was no safety problem, but that there was nothing else to do until Nissan issues a recall or figures out a fix for wherever the gas is leaking. I hope I can trust that my Rogue is actually safe while we wait on this fix. Disappointing to have a brand new Nissan with no fix. I would not recommend to anyone else to buy a 2023 Rogue until they have a fix unless you want to be stuck with no loaner car while yours is in the service department not getting fixed.

Nervous new Rogue owner

Update: Nissan shop said it was a failed battery issue and replaced the battery free of charge. How a brand new car battery can already be dead is beyond me. We are hoping this was a one time scare. Original review: We bought a brand new 2023 Rogue, with the hopes of having a safe, reliable family car. After just one month of ownership, and less than 1,000 miles, it’s already in the shop. As we were driving with kids on a busy road, the engine power cut out and the dash displayed a Reduced Engine Power / Engine Malfunction light. Thankfully we were able to limp off of the highway. But this was not how we anticipated our new Rogue ownership to go. Had to get a tow truck, Uber with car seats. Nightmare. Thankfully, our dealer provided a free loaner car. This service was promised by them at the time of purchase. We are nervously awaiting the diagnostic results. Will keep this updated. To anyone out there considering buying a new Rogue, my advice is to make sure the dealer you buy it from provides free loaners.

New to Nissan

My first experience with any Nissan product and so far so good. Purchased this vehicle at the end of June after my 2013 Outback was totaled in an accident. I considered another Subaru Outback but there were some issues it had I was unwilling to live with namely all controls on a touch screen and lane keeping dependent on cruise control being engaged. As I mentioned earlier, this is my first Nissan product. The cabin is airy and bright. The seats are excellent and very supportive. Even the rear seats are pretty decent. As to the level of cabin noise, a cargo cover remedied a good portion of that. Outward visibility is quite good but a bit restricted out of the back. The BSW is helpful with that. The safety technology is excellent and very customizable. Adaptive cruise control is a treat and lane keeping is quite good especially if you are left hand dominant. Engine power is more than sufficient. This is not my first turbo engine car and is my second car with CVT. The turbo is oil cooled only so be sure you check oil levels frequently and change the oil regularly but more frequently than Nissan states. BTW, NIssasn 0W-20 oil is repackaged Mobil 1 according to the dealer. For those of you who have never owned a turbo engine car, a few pointers. When the engine is cold, drive it gently for the first 5 to 7 miles so everything warms up . After a run on the highway let the engine idle for about 3-5 minutes otherwise you risk damaging the turbocharger bearing. Also, this engine suffers from a bit of turbo lag. That can be remedied by replacing the factory air filter with a K&N air filter. I have been using K&N filters for years and they work as advertised. As for the CVT, I have found a light right foot serves me best. CVTs do not have gears like a traditional transmission. There is a special steel belt that connects two pulleys that can vary in size thus your gear ratios. Passing someone does not require mashing the gas pedal. Pressing the gas about 1/3 to 1/2 down generally yields the desired result. You just need to learn where that place is. The Rogue handles reasonably well considering that the tires leave something to be desired. Adding a pound or two more of air above the minimum is helpful. March 2024. Just broke 6000 miles on the Rogue. So far so good. Have had a few momentary electronic glitches that have not recurred. namely false sensor readings related to traction control. Fuel economy is quite good per the computer ranging from 38 MPG down to 23 MPG. Cold weather really saps the fuel economy. I did try multiple tankfuls of 93 octane fuel in a row. The engine actually has more power and runs differently. Fuel economy is also up 3.5 miles per gallon. On 87 octane fuel acceleration is pretty good. Consistently use 93 octane and acceleration is noticeably quicker. Climate controls are good and there is plenty of heat in a very short time on cold mornings. The heated steering wheel, a first for me, was a treat. The heated seats are good too. The adaptive cruise control is a delight. The car almost drives itself on the open highway with minimal intervention on my part. Car and Drive/Motor Trend complain about a noisy interior. Whether I am wearing my hearing aids or not, I find it fairly quiet. I purchase a cargo cover from Nissan when new and it does help quash noise from the cargo area behind the rear seats. Adding a couple of pounds of air to the tires helps handling but the ride isn't as cushy. Minor road imperfections are more pronounced. The transmission works well but as with any CVT, a light right foot is recommended. Passing someone does NOT require mashing the gas pedal to the floor. There is a ton of torque between 1800 to 3200 RPM and if you have 93 octane fuel in the tank, hang on as the Rogue will accelerate quite quickly.
