Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Apr 10, 2024
I purchased a 2022 Nissan Rogue in October 2022. Almost immediately I started noticing a smell of gasoline not only while I was driving but more so after I pulled the car in the garage and turned it off. The smell was very strong. I called the dealership and made a service appointment (they should have the service records). They checked it out, said they couldn't find anything leaking, etc. but that it was a known issue, Nissan knew about it, but there wasn't a fix in place yet. I also received a recall notice to have a part on the fuel pump replaced and that was completed. It did not fix the problem. I still smell fuel when I park my car in the garage. I'm very worried about the fumes and the problem that's causing them. I am also very concerned about oil dilution and the damage that is doing to my car's engine and the cost of repairs I may have in the future. PLEASE help us with this. This is a huge problem and if you Google it, it's affecting so many people. PLEASE hold Nissan accountable and help us get resolution. As individuals we're getting no where and it's costing us as far as our health and those that ride in the car with us as well as costing us in repairs or replacement of engine systems due to oil dilution. PLEASE act quickly and help with this known problem. Car was purchased from and serviced by Marshall Motors in Salina, Kansas. Thank you!

Complete sudden unwarned engine failure nearly causing an accident. Necessitating an engine replacement. Subsequent issues with transmission programming and alternator necessitating alternator replacement.

There is an ongoing problem with a fuel (gasoline) odor in the cabin. This most commonly occurs in a warm start situation, ie the car has sat for 15 minutes to an hour after driving. When the car starts there is a strong gas smell which does not dissipate for anywhere from 10 minutes up to 45 minutes. Strangely this seems worse when the vehicle has backed up prior to shutting down. This does not seem to be a problem when cold (sitting overnight or for 4 or more hours) at this point. I am concerned that this may result in a fire and the obvious issues regarding health concerns related to breathing gas vapor. The dealer says they are aware of the problem but they are unable to resolve it at this point.

My son and I were driving home and my 2022 Nissan rogue SV suddenly began making extremely loud banging and knocking sounds in the engine bay. We were traveling approximately 40 mph and did not hit any bumps. The following morning the vehicle was towed to the dealership for inspection and we were told that day that the engine would need to be replaced. While we did not get too many specifics from the dealership regarding the exact cause, it was related to some bearings of some sort and causing what is called rod knock. The vehicle remain at the dealership until a new engine , or new engine parts, could be delivered. Nissan's warranty covered the cost of the repairs since the vehicle only had roughly 15,000 miles on it when the incident occurred. I have not had the vehicle inspected by a third party to confirm that the entire engine was replaced or if only certain parts were. One of the technicians at the dealership mentioned that they had seen or heard whispers about several reports of this particular issue, which is part of why they were able to diagnose it so quickly, but couldn't confirm the exact cause of that engines failure. Prior to the engine failing, there were no warning lights or indicators present in the vehicle. The vehicle has received regularly scheduled maintenance at this dealership since it's purchase. This incident occurred on December 2nd, 2023. I took a video the night of the incident of the vehicle and the knocking sounds it was making , but I can't upload it via this incident report, so let me know if you would like it and I will send it another way.
Engine and engine cooling, Feb 8, 2024
The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that upon approaching the vehicle, he observed a fluid leak underneath the engine compartment. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who confirmed the fluid leak from an unknown location and informed the contact that there was a misfire in cylinder #2. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Action Number: PE23023 (Engine and Engine Cooling, Engine). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 20,000.

Engine, Forward collision avoidance, Jan 21, 2024
On 3/25/2023 with less than 800 miles on the vehicle, the throttle got stuck. The cruise control was on but NOT activated. After passing a vehicle on a 3 lane interstate, the vehicle accelerated on its own to over 100mph. I hit the cruise control button to turn it off, but the car continued to accelerate on its own. I hit the brake to slow down and try to get it to shut off (thinking if was a cruise control issue), but every time I lifted my foot off the brake pedal, it would accelerate to speeds of 90-110mph. I continued to brake about 7-8 times, then I heard a loud "kurplunk" in the engine, and it stopped. It continued to drive normally for the rest of the trip. The Rogue was taken to the dealership and checked out. I was told the "floor mats got stuck on the gas pedal and not to drive with both the carpeted mats and the rubber mats in the vehicle." I told the service manager this obviously was not the problem and there was a bigger issue, and that did not explain the loud sound coming from the engine. Upon leaving the dealership that same day on 3/30/2023, I accelerated to get on an onramp to Interstate I35, and the RPM stuck at 3200 and would not go down. The engine roared. It was in Sport Mode, so I switched the vehicle to Standard and the RPMs dropped to 2000-2100. I circled back around and went back to the dealership and had the female servie manager ride with me. The engine continued to roar at high RPMs, and the service manager said this was "normal." We returned to the dealership; nothing further was checked out on the vehicle. 7/28/2023 At 4442 miles, I accelerated to get on an onramp to I20 and the accelerataor got stuck again; I was riding the brakes in traffic on the onramp to get the vehicle to slow down. If i removed my foot from the brakes, it accelerated on its own. I kept my foot on the brake and kept pumping until I heard the loud "kurplunk" and it quit once again. This has happend two more times in December of 2023.
Tires, Jan 17, 2024
235/60R18 tire size I bought a new 2022 Rogue March 2022 which only now has 14,000 miles.During regular maintenance on 1/13/24 , I was told I needed new tires because of tread wear.Nissan said they do not give tire warranty and Hankook would be responsible.After looking at BBB reports, there are quite a few others with similar or same issues. Blow outs,knots or baldness on tires.If these tires don’t last even 2 years or past 14,000 miles,I consider them defective in some way and certainly a safety issue.If Nissan has complaints and still continues to use this tire they are to blame as well.
Power train, Vehicle speed control, Service brakes, Jan 16, 2024, crash
I was caught in a snowstorm, driving about 5 MPH. Suddenly, the vehicle swerved to the left and I lost complete control; the brakes locked up. The vehicle spun about 145° degrees before coming to a stop perpendicular to the road; subsequently rear-ended from behind. The moment was surreal; I’ve never felt closer to a life-threatening incident because I had ZERO CONTROL over the car: I was spared ONLY because there was no oncoming traffic. My biggest concern is why the safety systems failed to intervene. During the incident, the ABS did NOTHING. Traction Control, NOTHING. NO warning lights came on. It’s mind blowing that the car skidded about 145° degrees without any intervention from the ABS and Traction Control systems. With modern 4-channel ABS and advanced Traction Control (Vehicle Dynamic Control) safety systems, the car should have attempted to correct itself. Because I was at a standstill, I was braking the entire time; I didn’t jam the brakes or steer the vehicle. To make matters worse, the car was in Snow Mode AWD. One hypothesis is a glitch where Vehicle Dynamic Control won’t operate in snow mode to give maximum engine performance. But at the cost of reduced safety and traction. Or perhaps the safety systems are not working as intended. The emergency brake malfunction light occasionally comes on when idling and several malfunction messages once during a long trip. However, these were sporadic and did not appear before this incident. Moreover, the maintenance person at my apartment recently experienced the same issue. While on the road with his new 2021 Nissan Rogue, his car spun out of control FOUR TIMES. He's driven in the snow in other vehicles without a problem, and will NEVER drive the Rogue in snow again. Because this vehicle failed in a critical safety scenario, I’m requesting Nissan carefully inspect the safety systems, including the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) and Vehicle Dynamic Control free of charge. Will escalate this further if needed.

I have had my car in the service center 5 times for the same reason they tell me it is fixed but the problem keeps happening. I have tried to be cooperative . the car has been in the shop on and off since the 18 of July at one point they had it almost a month. This last time they gave it back to me said it was fixed. This is why i'm writing to you I had the car a week and I was driving on interstate 65 I was in the middle lane doing 70 MPH with a tractortrailer on each side of me starting up a long hill with another truck coming up behind me, when my car dropped down to 40 MPH since I knew what was happening I put on my emergency flashers, thank God the truck driver behind me was paying attention because he was coming up behind me pretty fast because of the hill He slowed down and moved over to block the slow lane so I could get over I had my 2 granddaughters in the car with me, and things could have been very bad if the trucker behind me had not been paying attention My Granddaughters and I could have been killed. Now I am afraid to drive the car the dealership told me to Call Nissan hot line and tell them what happened Nissan said they had something else to fix and my car would be fine, well now I'm afraid to drive the car and Nissan said they didn't have to do anything else to help me. I put 20,000.00 down on this car so I could keep my payments down. and now I'm stuck with a car I'm afraid to drive. am a [XXX] Grandmother trying to take care of my 3 Grandchildren on a fixed income I have 1 in collage 1 who works but doesn't drive and 1 in high school . I have to have a car I can depend on .I'm sorry to go on and on but please tell me if there is anything I can do.

Jiffy Lube reported PLASTIC oil pan and plug broke when removing plug for draining. Manager at shop reported he had seen this before in another Nissan and he believes it is a common problem with the plastic oil pan. Internet search of forums describes similar problem and that replacements are the mid-$400s, just for parts, not labor. Sounds like a recall is needed.
Vehicle speed control, Sep 5, 2023
On 6/27/22 we were driving roughly 35 mph and all of the sudden the warning light Engine Malfunction Power reduced Service now warning light came on and the car immediately slowed to 20 mph with no warning. It was a Sunday so we couldn’t take it to the dealership that day. We turned the car off and in about 20 minutes turned it back on and the warning light had cleared. We took it to the dealership the next day. Since the car only had 14,912 miles assumed the warranty would cover. They didn’t find anything but still charged us $168.53. Then on 8/30 it happened again while backing up. Called Nissan and they instructed me to turn it off and back on. I did but it still had the warning light and reduced speed. I was roughly 30 miles from the dealership and they wanted me to drive it in. I told them that wasn’t safe. They said at my expense have it towed. After the car was turned off awhile it cleared and went back to normal. I took the car in the next day. Again they said they couldn’t recreate the issue and had no solution. They indicated Nissan knew there was an issue but didn’t have a fix yet. They said it might mean a new engine. I filed a complaint with Nissan asking for them to buyback the car because I felt it wasn’t safe. They denied it. If at some point you are driving 70 mph on a 4 lane interstate in busy traffic and it happens and the speed reduces from 70 to 20 with no brake light coming on or warning to the driver. It could be catastrophic. On various complaint sites you can see that this is a large issue for Nissan.

On 8/9/2023 I went to my mechanic for a routine oil change. The prior oil change was done by the dealership where I purchased the car, Hgregg Nissan in Delray Beach, FL. When the mechanic opened the drain plug, the threads and assembly all came out, rendering the oil pan useless. If this happened on the highway, the results could be catastrophic. The dealership said whoever did the prior oil change may have over tightened the plug. The dealership had done the prior oil change. The oil plan is plastic, and problems with it are cited on internet forums. Nissan USA will not even cover the cost to replace the damaged oil plan under its warranty. My car was under warranty with about 16,000 miles when the incident occurred.

The front sunroof on a 2022 Nissan Rogue Platinum blew out while traveling on highway at normal speed. There were no warnings. The car dealership has ordered replacement parts to repair the sunroof glass. They said they had not heard of this and tried to blame it on a rock but the remaining glass is at an upward tilt. It was taped that day.

The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle sporadically swerved into the right lane. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to another dealer, Gerald Nissan of Naperville (1575 W Ogden Ave, Naperville, IL 60540) who informed the contact that the shocks and another unknown part needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 13,000.

There is a constant fuel smell around the car when parked (and with the car off) which is present for several hours (and sometimes overnight) after operating and shutting off the vehicle. In addition, there is a gasoline or fuel odor observed inside the vehicle when running in stop and go traffic or sitting at a stoplight for an extended period of time. I have had the Nissan dealer review the problem on two separate occasions, they claim that Nissan is aware but that there is no fix available to them. Also had a fuel system issue (indicator light came on) that was addressed by the dealership.
Fuel/propulsion system, Jun 4, 2023
After owning the car for about four months, the car smells like gasoline. The smell of gasoline fills the cabin and if parked in the home, the whole house smells of gasoline. My children get sick if they have to be in the car for more than 45 minutes. Nissan of Boulder claims that the fuel system is working fine, but it is not. Other owners of 2022 Nissan Rogue are experiencing the same problem without any remedy or recall from Nissan corporation.
Fuel/propulsion system, May 22, 2023
I am joining the many others in reporting a very strong fuel order (raw gasoline) that enters the cabin and when parked in the garage, spews tons of raw gasoline fume, which I believe could eventually cause fire/explosion. This makes the SUV very difficult to be inside and drive. We do have the 3cyl turbo engine. Current mileage is approximately 3200. Dealer reports unable to verify and cannot proceed due to the SUV being in "engineering status".

While driving in traffic I proceeded to give the car gas to move 2 car lengths forward but the car jerked back and then accelerated on its own. I applied pressure to the brake and as the came up off it the car accelerated again. I swerved off the highway and once in park the car continued to have high rpm of 3.5 while in park. Keep in mind i had been driving the car for over an hour so it wasn’t cold. After the vehicle was towed to the dealer, the tow truck driver experienced the same thing with high RPM.

I have leased this vehicle since May 13, 2022. Soon after taking delivery, I started to notice a faint smell of gasoline every day when it is enclosed in my garage. The smell has been getting stronger and I am very concerned. There have been times when I can now smell the gasoline when I enter my car when it has been parked outside. I did take it back to my dealer and informed them of my concern. They told me there was no viable leaks and said Nissan is aware of the problem but there is no fix at this time. My dealership has tried to assure me that the vehicle is safe. I have gone on Nissan Rogue owner forums and many owners have the same complaint but no resolution. This morning the smell of gasoline in my garage was very strong. How can this be safe for my health and for the risk of fire?
Fuel system, Gasoline, Apr 20, 2023
The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that a few months after she purchased the vehicle, she noticed an abnormally strong gasoline odor inside and outside the vehicle. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the vehicle was inspected, but no failure was found. The contact stated that the odor became extremely strong. The vehicle was taken to another dealer where the contact was informed that the manufacture was aware of the issue; however, there was no remedy, and that the cause of the odor was due to the winter gasoline blend. The contact stated that she was concerned that the fuel odor might cause a fire. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was provided a case number and advised to call the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 7,000.
