Equipment Problems of Nissan Rogue - part 2

I am writing what I think is a safety issue on a 2020 Nissan Rogue s. Left my house to go to a local store. When I park, I normally press the internal lock button and not the lock button on fob. I exited the vehicle and closed the door. Came back to vehicle, for some reason I just grabbed the door, not using the key fob, nor the ignition key to enter, and the driver side door opened. I questioned myself what just happened. I did not think much of it. Well I made another stop. I parked, pressed internal button, exited and closed door. I came back and pull driver side door handle and the door was unlocked again. So while parked I tried to diagnosis why the door was unlocked again. I used the internal lock button first, all but the driver side door lock, I used the lock button on the key fob, same thing. Tried the ignition key, it would lock and unlock. So when I got home I tried to get it to work again, but to no avail. I tried looking in the vehicle setting, watch you tube videos etc. I even disconnected and reconnected the battery. Nothing worked, got online and saw a lot of people were having the issue due to door lock actuator failing on Rogues. So I called my nearest Nissan dealership and told them my problem. They could get me in on July 17, 2025 at 8:00 a. M. And it would take several hours to diagnosis. The diagnosis was the actuator failed but power was going to it. To fix it it will cost $905. This is why I am writing you. I think it is a safety issue that needs to be address. If people don't know the vehicle is unlocked there could be some of type of thief or a person could be in your car when you returned. If the door was in the locked position while in the vehicle and you need to get out in an emergency you have to exit another door, which you might not have enough time to do so. If you are trying to enter the vehicle for an emergency and the door stays locked that a safety issue. This is a safety issue and should be recalled. Thank you for your time.

While driving on the interstate at normal highway speed, the sunroof of my 2022 Nissan Rogue sv awd suddenly shattered and exploded without any warning or visible impact. The noise was extremely loud. The weather was clear, and there were no vehicles or objects nearby that could have caused the breakage. It was extremely scary. This was a completely spontaneous failure, and I am very concerned about the safety implications, especially if the interior sunroof cover had been open. I’m researching and found similar complaints about Nissan vehicles and sunroofs suddenly shattering for no reason. This incident needs to be investigated for possible defects in the sunroof glass or design. I have photo evidence and can provide additional details upon request. The vehicle has not yet been inspected.

I am reporting a serious safety issue after three service visits to star Nissan. Most recently, on July 8, 2025, they performed a full transmission replacement under warranty (see invoice attached). Since receiving the car back, it now makes creaking noises, vibrates severely under acceleration and deceleration, and is completely unsafe to drive. The shaking is so bad I can feel it under my feet and seat, especially at highway speeds (40–50 mph). The car did not have these symptoms before the transmission repair. They claimed they did a test drive, but that is obviously false. This is now the third time I’ve had to return this vehicle for drivetrain-related issues, and I’ve been told to “wait until July 15th” with no resolution while my car is dangerous and undrivable. I’m reporting this as a potential safety risk, negligent repair, and breach of warranty, and I want Nissan investigated for returning vehicles in this condition. I’m afraid to drive it and feel completely ignored. This dealership needs to be held accountable, and Nissan should be required to take responsibility before someone gets hurt.

The cooling fan stopped working causing engine to overheat. I looked it up and this is common problem with this car.

Driver door will not open from outside or inside vehicle. Based on research this is an acuator issue that Nissan has known about since 2014 & failed to issue a recall. I am in the process of costly repair @ personal expense for a clear safety issue the know about & have failed to address, & would like reimbursement for. I have had to climb over/out passenger side several times to enter/exit car, thus far not being trapped, however it is not safe to not be able to quickly exit vehicle. Nor safe to manuver over console to exit this way. Nor is it safw not to be able to enter your parked vehicle. Nissan needs to issue a recall & cover repair expense on all makes/models & all doors affected, checking all 4 doirs, not just the one or 2 doors malfunctioning as this can/will affect all 4 doors.

I purchased a 2017 Nissan Rogue used from a Nissan dealership with 58,617 miles. At around 99,000 miles, the vehicle began experiencing dangerous hesitation and shuddering. A certified Nissan dealer diagnosed a failure of the cvt transmission, specifically citing code p17f2 (judder condition). I was quoted over $6,000 for the repair. This issue matches known Nissan cvt defects that have been subject to multiple lawsuits and technical service bulletins, but my VIN was not included in prior coverage extensions. Nissan denied my request for goodwill repair assistance despite having documentation from their own dealer. This failure poses a safety concern and appears to be the result of a widespread manufacturer defect that has not yet been formally recalled for all affected vins. I am submitting this to request investigation and accountability.

I am first concern with the fact that the cvt transmission is not listed under the “component” section and this concern is a major problem many Nissan drivers are seeing. I would like to additional know how this transmission malfunction is not a safety concern as it tremendously affects the speed and operation of the vehicle regardless of maintenance. I have a 2019 Nissan Rogue sport that recently started to stall at red lights and even lose speed acceleration while in operation. Upon researching what this issue could be I discovered that most 2015-2022 model Rogue have this issue and it associate with the cvt transmission! my question and maybe great fear is why this doesn’t constitute for an immediate recall for Nissan by the NHTSA?! there are multiple reports on this issue to support our claims yet nothing. I strongly advise someone look into this matter before any loss of life happens.

A component in my transmission failed. I hooked it up to a code reader and it is saying its a solenoid. My car did not experience any warning signs or trouble. It just out if no where decided it wont go into reverse and move and it wont move in drive either. It did this and then after the engine made a noise the check engine light turned on. It is now at a repair shop being looked at. Again this happened out of the blue with no warning signs. I also have only had the car for one year.

Rear lift gate supports . Hatchback has to be pused up and is very hard to do. Has to be held up so it doesn't come down on us. Seen that was a recall on this id # pc459 but its not showing up.

Cooling fan is defective.

While driving down I-95 north, we heard a very loud noise that sounded like a gunshot and then shattering. When we looked, it was the rear glass that busted and shattered for some unknown reason.

The 2023 Rogue has a known problem of smelling like fuel after driving. I have had multiple service calls. They have replaced a hose and other things. But they have failed. There is now a recall for most of these cars but my VIN number is not on the recall list even though I have experienced this problem for years at this point. The service department cannot change the necessary hose because it is not on the recall list.

I was driving my car and out of no where for the first time I feel it shaking and making a noise, it did it for a min then it would stop, and it would continue this way every couple of mins. I had a feeling I should pull over yet there was no where I could pull over to on a busy road, so I kept driving, eventually I could not drive faster than 20 mph, my car would not let me. It would make the noise that a car makes when you have it parked and are stepping on the gas pedal, like revving the car. Eventually I pulled over once I could and then turned off the car and turned it back on, once the car was on it would literally not move at all. I could shift the gear stick with no issue to drive and all the other things but I could still not drive my car, it wouldn’t move, there was no parking brake on, nothing. It was on drive but it would not move. At this time there was no lights suggesting anything was wrong with the car. I kept turning it back on and off and then it worked until I got to my destination. Once I got to my destination I was not able to go back home. The car would simply not run. There was no warning lamps or messages of any kind prior to the incident. My safety and others was put at risk because I was on a busy highway and I was not able to drive faster than 20 mph at one point. A car could’ve came at mine driving at 65+ mph stated in the speed limit. I was even able to get off the road at that time either. It was a very scary experience. It wasn’t until the tow truck towed to car to my house that the warning lights came on. Turning on hours after everything had already happened. There was 6 codes that popped up when we checked the car all relating to the transmission. This is a very serious and dangerous situation. I am lucky I didn’t get hurt or anyone driving around me at that time. I don't have any images from the incident only a video that shows the cars speed dropping and getting higher on its own, it literally felt like the car was driving itself.

This vehicle was sold by copart with a clean title despite prior federal nmvtis junk/salvage reporting and insurance loss. The salvage record was concealed from the buyer and not properly disclosed by the seller. There is a pattern involving copart, hertz, progressive, and other companies hiding salvage data, VIN laundering, and reselling unsafe vehicles. I have extensive evidence including title copies, nmvtis records, and photos, in a secure drive link: [xxx] . Please investigate for safety and fraud. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

My car moves after I put it in park. It jerks forward even though I have it in park. Sometimes before I turn the engine off and sometimes after. I believe its the transmission and it should have been recalled but it hasn't.

Sunroof randomly shattered while driving on highway with no debris. Further research shows this is not the first time the sunroof randomly shattered while driving.

• component: oil gasket pan (can be inspected upon request) • on 10 June 2025, I took my vehicle to firestone for routine maintenance. Upon an attempt to reinsert the oil plug, the technician could not do so; therefore, the oil gasket pan had to be replaced. The oil plug was not damaged. However, the grooves within the gasket pan itself was warped and the technician could not reinsert the plug in order for the oil to remain within the engine. Unfortunately, I had to pay $600+ just to replace the gasket oil pan for a defective part on Nissan’s end. The item is horribly made from plastic material; that is not ideal, considering that oil becomes hot during use. The main concern here would be can the vehicle withhold engine oil between oil changes and it would not leak? huge safety concern here, in addition to the recent recall on the engine bearings. • I’ve also seen complaints regarding this from other Nissan Rogue owners for various years (dating from 2021-2024).

1)backup camera freezes. I need to pause the car and wait a minute then it will restart. This happens a couple of times a week. 2)also, there have been several times when going down a hill, my forward collision warning light and sound goes off and it feels like a light emergency brake is applied. (though the dealer told me that I did not have the automatic emergency braking). This occurs for about 2-3 seconds and then stops on it's own. I have never seen anything in the road that would set this off. This has happened about 4 times within the last 6 months or less.

Car was off keys inside car and all doors locked.

The transmission is bad and need to be replaced. I called destination Nissan and they said even though the age and milleage of the car is below the warranty limity , my warranty expire 2023. The employee then told me those transmission (ctr) are bad and I am lucky I got the amount of time I did out of it because sometimes the transmission go bad after 5 years. That prompt me to file a complaint because people should not buy Nissan rouges , have a monthly payment and in a few years have to pay a 6 to 8k bill. Also it is not safe. My car start to stutter on the road going toward a highway.

Back up camera black out and on no volume with car play and radio not working. The it just stopped and with out warning will go out. Vehicle is available for inspection. Unable to see or getting warnings without back camera.

When the air conditioning is on during the start of the vehicle a vinegar smell comes through the inside of the vehicle. It has distracted me when starting the vehicles I tried to change air filters and it did nothing yes it’s been reproduced yes they inspected it and did a recall fix on the turbo hose. That did not fix it no warnings.

Radio loses audio and infotainment system resets on random starts. Internet research shows this common problem among 2024 Nissan Rogue platinums and requires a manufacturer fix to software system.

Automatic breaking system shuts off and on. As well as, the reverse camera screen goes blank when putting vehicle into reverse.

Vehicle was issuing a judder feeling, and it had lack of power to the gas pedal at times. The check engine light ended up coming on for p0101 (mass air flow sensor). Dealer replaced the mass air flow sensor and cleared the code. Said they test drove it without any issues. After picking up the vehicle, it was within 10 min, the judder was being felt. Then taking the exit and slowing, I felt the lack of power to the gas pedal. Dealership was called instantly and did a further inspection. Advised that the code p17f2 was coming up and I needed a new transmission.

I bought my vehicle only a year ago and my sunroof glass blew off while I was driving on a highway. There was no object involved. I believe it was a defective product.

Oil pan/oil pan gasket damaged. Plastic oil pan with a metal bolt is due to fail anytime when replacing oil/doing an oil change. Nissan has, for about 99%, done all of my oil changes. Was told at Nissan the part was stripped, and could he a potential hazard of bolt shooting out of pan due to pressure/heat expansion and lead to engine failure or be hazardous if vehicle was being driven. Was not even aware of this stripped bolt/broken pan until I went for a routine oil change with Nissan. This is my family vehicle and I drive my kid everywhere in this vehicle. This is a major safety concern and flaw and should be reason to reconsider and be gone with the plastic pans and have metal ones be manufactured/produced. Had to pay put of pocket for it to be replaced. Should have been covered by Nissan or be recalled immediately. This could put my family at risk if it fails and we are out driving. We do constant road trips and long distance destinations. This is concerning.

Sunroof exploded out of nowhere and had to get it fixed.

No worked the system forward collision and automatic emergency and crash with one horse. My body with hematonas my neck with dolor. No confirmed with the dealer. The police take inform and insurance never worked the emergency break frontal in the dash no light o statement emergency break.

While driving at 65 mph with cars behind me, I was in a passing lane and car came to a hault in the middle of traffic to a complete stop. Gas pedsl or brake pedal wouldn't work. Car was half on road, half on median. Scary situation.

I am on my 4th windshield windshields are defective be it materials ,design or fit.

The back-up camera on my car no longer functions. When put in reverse, the back-up area appears gray and there is an x in it. The birds-eye view portion works on the sides and front, but the back is also gray and has an x in it. Other 2021 Nissan Rogues were recalled for this problem happening around the 50,000 mile mark. Mine was not one of them but I am thinking it probably should have been. No accidents have happened and I do know how to use mirrors to back up but this should not be happening. I would not report it if I had not seen that thousands of2021-22 Nissan Rogues had been recalled for this issue. I am putting the date as 5/1/25, but this happened intermittently when it was windy so I thought it had something to do with the wind. It completely stopped working on 5/1/25.

Rear power lift gate on my 2018 Nissan Rogue will randomly close after being lifted. Happens at any time, whether the key fob, dash button or the button on the lift gate itself is used. The lift gate has hit my wife and I in the head multiple times causing minor injury. The car has been back to my Nissan dealer twice, they state the struts, sensors and modules are all working fine. They indicated they recalibrated the sensors. Not sure what the issue is but we don’t like the idea of paying the quoted price of $1200 to replace the struts since this may be a general problem with the car.

The sunroof exploded while on the expressway going 75mph. At first after hearing the loud explosion, I thought it was a blowout tire. Almost got hit by two cars as I was pulling over . I took the car to the Nissan dealership and I was told I would have to leave the car there while they contact Nissan and send them pictures.

Their door locks lock you in so you cannot get out which is to me a very dangerous situation I had it replaced and the one they put on it which is new is worse.
