On the 2021-2025 Nissan Rogue, 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 due to obstruction' or related warning messages in clear weather, sometimes recurring after restart. This is a safety-related issue because it can cause abrupt deceleration or loss of driver-assistance functions when expected.

Common Symptoms

  • Automatic emergency braking activates with no vehicle ahead
  • Forward collision warning chime or dash warning appears unexpectedly
  • Front radar obstruction or unavailable message
  • ProPILOT Assist disables itself
  • Cruise control or driver-assist features become unavailable

How to Fix

Scan the ADAS modules for stored faults, inspect radar sensor mounting and alignment, and verify the front emblem/radar cover is clean and undamaged. Nissan service procedures typically involve radar aiming/calibration, checking harness/connectors, and replacing the radar sensor or related components if faults persist. If the vehicle has collision damage, bumper cover fitment and bracket alignment should be checked carefully because small misalignment can trigger repeated faults.

Owner tips & cautions

  • TipClean the front emblem/radar area and inspect for bumper misalignment or prior minor impact before replacing parts; many owners report intermittent warnings caused by sensor aiming issues.

On the 2021-2024 Nissan Rogue, primary Nissan and NHTSA records establish bounded rear-camera image-loss conditions across the frozen 2021-2024 Rogue years: NTB25-014 covers 2021-2023 connector D504 corrosion with an inoperative camera or X display, while separate safety campaigns cover specified 2021-2022 and 2024 populations. The symptom identity is retained, but corrosion, software and harness/camera campaign branches are not treated as interchangeable.

Common Symptoms

  • rear image absent, distorted, frozen or marked X
  • fault reproduced while shifting into reverse
  • campaign year and D504-corrosion branch separated

How to Fix

Check the VIN for open rear-visibility campaigns and record whether the image is black, distorted, frozen or marked X. Inspect the 2021-2023 D504 connector/camera branch only when corrosion is present and follow the exact campaign or bulletin remedy for the affected year; do not substitute a camera for a software or harness repair. Do not buy a rear camera, coax harness, AV unit, grommet or software package from this page; recall or bulletin eligibility and VIN-specific remedy must be confirmed first.

On the 2021-2024 Nissan Rogue 1.5L KR15DDT VC-Turbo 3-cylinder, 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 starts, stalling, and ultimately catastrophic engine failure (potentially while driving). NHTSA opened an investigation in December 2023; Nissan issued recall 25V-437 (June 2025, ~443,899 units, MY2021-2024) followed by 26V-080 (Feb 2026, ~323,917 units built Oct 2022-Nov 2024). Distinct from the already-covered PCV/oil-smell VC-Turbo issue — this is bottom-end bearing failure. Hundreds of warranty engine-replacement claims logged.

Common Symptoms

  • Engine knocking or rattling noise
  • Rough or hard starting
  • Stalling while driving
  • Illuminated check engine / oil pressure light
  • Loss of power
  • Complete engine failure

How to Fix

Check VIN against Nissan recalls 25V-437 and 26V-080. Remedy varies: dealers inspect for engine damage and either update software/oil-cooling calibration or replace the engine assembly free of charge under recall. Owners hearing rod knock or experiencing stalling should stop driving and arrange dealer service. Out of warranty, a bearing failure typically requires a short-block or full engine replacement.

On the 2022-2025 Nissan Rogue 1.5L KR15DDT turbo I3, on 2022+ Rogues equipped with the 1.5L KR15DDT variable-compression turbo engine, owners have reported rough idle, oil odor, hesitation, and check-engine lights tied to crankcase ventilation or related air-fuel control issues. These complaints are distinct from outright transmission concerns and appear in owner forums and complaint databases as the newer engine accumulated mileage. In some cases, the issue presents as drivability problems without obvious external leaks.

Common Symptoms

  • Check engine light
  • Rough idle
  • Oil smell from engine bay
  • Hesitation on acceleration
  • Poor fuel economy
  • Occasional stumble after startup

How to Fix

Scan for stored engine and fuel-trim faults, inspect the PCV system and hoses for restriction or leakage, and check for intake tract leaks or oil contamination. Depending on findings, repair may involve replacing the PCV-related components, updating ECM calibration if applicable, cleaning fouled intake components, and verifying fuel trims and idle quality after repair.

On the 2021-2025 Nissan Rogue, a recurring owner complaint on the current Rogue is front-end clunking, rattling, or knocking noises over small bumps, driveway transitions, or rough pavement. Reports commonly point to sway bar links, strut-related hardware, or other front suspension attachment points loosening or wearing prematurely. While not always an immediate breakdown issue, it can degrade ride quality and may affect handling confidence if left unresolved.

Common Symptoms

  • Clunk from front suspension over bumps
  • Rattle at low speed on rough roads
  • Noise when entering driveways
  • Intermittent front-end knock
  • Ride feels loose or less controlled

How to Fix

Road-test the vehicle over low-speed bumps, then inspect front stabilizer links, strut mounts, lower control arm bushings, and subframe fasteners for play or looseness. Repairs typically involve replacing worn links or mounts and torquing hardware to spec; an alignment may be needed afterward if control-arm or strut components are replaced.

Owner tips & cautions

  • TipAsk the shop to check sway bar end links first; owners frequently report these as the source of front clunks before more expensive strut replacement is suggested.

On the 2021-2025 Nissan Rogue, owners have reported power liftgate problems including the hatch refusing to open, stopping partway, reversing direction, or beeping without completing the cycle. Some complaints describe intermittent operation that worsens in cold weather or after battery disconnects, while others point to latch, strut, or module-related faults. The issue is inconvenient and can become a safety concern if cargo access or hatch closing is unreliable.

Common Symptoms

  • Power liftgate will not open
  • Liftgate starts then reverses
  • Repeated beeping from rear hatch
  • Manual release needed
  • Intermittent hatch operation

How to Fix

Check battery voltage first because low system voltage can cause erratic liftgate behavior, then inspect the latch, pinch sensors, power struts, and liftgate control module for faults. Diagnosis usually includes scanning the body control/liftgate module, verifying latch adjustment, and replacing failed struts, latch assemblies, or the control unit if relearn procedures do not restore normal operation.

Owner tips & cautions

  • TipPerform the liftgate initialization/relearn procedure after battery service before replacing parts; some owners restore operation without hardware replacement.
Typical repair cost:$150 - $1,400
