The Nissan Rogue's CVT transmission is prone to premature failure, shuddering, and jerky operation. Nissan extended the CVT warranty on many affected vehicles to 10 years/120,000 miles due to widespread issues. High-mileage CVTs are particularly at risk for complete failure. Repairs typically run $300-$5,500. Severity: high.
Nissan issued a recall for fuel pump issues that can cause engine stalling or failure to start. The fuel pump impeller may deform, causing reduced fuel delivery. This affects multiple Nissan models. Repairs typically run $0-$0. Severity: high.
The electric power steering system can experience issues including sudden loss of assist, heavy steering, or steering warning lights. The steering may feel inconsistent or require more effort in certain situations. Repairs typically run $300-$1,500. Severity: high.
There have been reports of the panoramic sunroof spontaneously shattering or exploding while driving or parked. This appears to happen without any external impact. The cause may be related to glass stress or defects. Repairs typically run $500-$1,500. Severity: high.
A documented no-start condition on push-button-start Rogues can occur when the electronic steering column lock (ESCL/steering lock unit) fails and the vehicle will not transition to READY/ON normally. Owners report the key fob is recognized but the ignition stays stuck, often wit… Repairs typically run $800-$1,500. Severity: high.
The second-generation Rogue uses a JATCO continuously variable transmission (RE0F10x family) that is widely documented to judder/shudder during light acceleration (typically 25-45 mph), exhibit a 'rubber band' rubbery hesitation from a stop, overheat into limp mode with sudden lo… Repairs typically run $3,000-$8,000. Severity: high.
NHTSA DP19-001 and PE19-010 establish unintended Automatic Emergency Braking activation in model-year 2017-2018 Rogue vehicles with no apparent obstruction. The investigation record documents false activations around certain railroad crossings and metal overpasses, and Nissan cus… Severity: high.
Rogues equipped with the factory panoramic moonroof can have the glass spontaneously shatter or 'explode' while driving, with no impact and nothing striking it from outside, showering occupants with glass and in some cases causing injury. At least ~105 owners complained to NHTSA,… Repairs typically run $500-$1,500. Severity: high.
NHTSA recall 22V-549/R22A6 covers 2017-2019 Rogue Hybrid. Repeated braking in high underhood temperature can overheat the hydraulic brake booster motor-pump brushes, cause abnormal wear and disconnect the pigtail, reducing power-brake assist and increasing pedal effort and stoppi… Severity: high.
This is by far the dominant owner complaint on the current-generation Rogue and it is not covered by any recall. The rear hatch glass shatters explosively with nothing striking it - while parked, while driving, and very commonly at the instant the driver closes a door. 128 of 173… Repairs typically run $400-$1,100. Severity: high.
Nissan is recalling certain 2026 Rogue vehicles because the instrument panel may not display the transmission gear selection indicator (PRNDL). Without the indicator the driver cannot confirm which gear the transmission is actually in, which NHTSA cites as a rollaway and unintend… Repairs typically run $0-$0. Severity: high.
Multiple owners of the current-generation Rogue report the forward collision warning / automatic emergency braking system issuing sudden alerts, disabling itself, or in some cases braking unexpectedly with no obstacle present. Complaints commonly mention 'Front radar unavailable… Repairs typically run $250-$1,800. Severity: high.
NHTSA recall 22V-024 covers certain 2014-2016 Rogue vehicles. Water and salt in the driver footwell can wick along dash-side harness tape into a connector, causing corrosion, electrical malfunctions, battery discharge, thermal damage and potentially fire. Severity: high.
Separate from the well-known JATCO belt/pulley judder, many T32 Rogues suffer CVT failure driven specifically by inadequate fluid cooling. The factory cooling circuit struggles in heat, towing, or hilly/stop-and-go use; CVT fluid overheats, the TCM commands a protective 'limp' mo… Repairs typically run $250-$5,000. Severity: high.
The variable-compression 1.5L VC-Turbo can suffer a manufacturing defect in the main, A-link, C-link, and L-link engine bearings. Higher-than-expected oil temperatures thin the oil and starve the bearings, leading to bearing seizure, rod knock, abnormal engine noise, hard/rough s… Repairs typically run $0-$9,000. Severity: high.
The QR25DE 2.5L four-cylinder used in the second-generation (T32) Rogue is prone to timing-chain tensioner wear and chain/guide stretch. Worn plastic guides and a weak tension-side tensioner produce a loud rattle, most noticeable at cold startup and idle. As the chain stretches,… Repairs typically run $1,200-$2,500. Severity: high.
The electronic throttle body uses internal polymer gears (chosen for thermal stability at the engine's ~250F operating temperatures). The teeth on these polymer gears can fracture, jamming the throttle valve. This causes sudden loss of power/stalling and, on restart, can prevent… Repairs typically run $0-$900. Severity: high.
The Rogue's JATCO continuously variable transmission uses a torque converter with a lock-up (TCC) clutch, and P0741 sets when the ECM/TCM commands lock-up but the clutch doesn't engage or slips. On the Rogue this is part of the notorious Nissan CVT failure pattern: contaminated/d… Repairs typically run $500-$5,000. Severity: high.
The A/C compressor can fail prematurely, particularly in hot climates with heavy A/C usage. Internal compressor failure can contaminate the entire A/C system with metal debris, requiring extensive repairs. Repairs typically run $600-$1,600. Severity: medium.
The AWD system coupling can fail, causing loss of power to the rear wheels, unusual noises, or vibration. The transfer case may develop leaks or internal damage. This often occurs around 80,000-100,000 miles. Repairs typically run $400-$2,000. Severity: medium.
