Rogue Sport

  • Automatic transmission
  • 67,235 miles

When I purchased this vehicle, apparently it was the first time this engine was put into a Nissan. This is according to Nissan. I have been in the business for over 40 years. I did my oil changes every 4 - 5 thousand miles as specified full synthetic. I noticed one day it was very slow in taking off and losing power and it started smoking. I immediately knew there was something wrong. I took it to Nissan and they told me that I have a bad engine due to no oil changes. This is where they go wrong. Always blaming the customer when they don't have an answer.

Being in the business so long, I know about oil changes and how it is important to the vehicle's engine. I am pretty sure they won't honor my extended warranty because that's what these companies do. They are in the business of not helping when you are insured if something should occur. If anyone out there has a similar problem with this type of Nissan, please help or contact me at elsamilagrosgarcia@yahoo.com - I would appreciate it. I will go to the top and get this issue resolved with Nissan. I never believe in extended warranties because all they do is take customers money and don't pay up.

Rogue Sport

  • Automatic transmission
  • 29,000 miles

The car has only 29,000 miles. While traveling, suddenly I noticed the car having a jerky operation. When stopping and restarting, there was hesitation. While trying to go uphill, the car stalled, and almost caused me to be in an accident. It is an outrage that this should be happening this early in the life of this car. I've kept up with the service appointments. Nobody in the dealership ever advised me that the car might manifest these types of problems. Shortly I'll be traveling to another state, and I'm not sure that the car will make it. I'll be praying.

Rogue Sport SL

  • Automatic transmission
  • 647 miles

2017-Nissan Rogue Sport; Driving on Hwy 41, the Rogue loses power/power failure and almost comes to a complete stop. The Rogue then comes back up and continues up Hwy 41. The rear stop lights did not come on when the power went down. I was on a 5 lane hwy and could have been hit from behind. Also, would not have been able to get out of the car since I was in the middle lane.

In speaking with the dealerships, this appears to be a known issue. I took it to AutoNation Nissan they kept it for two days. When I picked the Rogue up from their call, it did not and has not driven the same; I explained this to the tech, Robert.

When he test drove it with us, he gunned it going up a hill, the engine just raced, the car did nothing. He immediately turned to a downhill rd and took the car back to the dealership.

This is a major safety issue, which I’ve been through before with Nissan. Everyone at the dealerships wants to talk about electrical issues, first thing they check. I spoke with a person at the dealership that advised they do what NISSAN tells them to do.

So it appears the safety issue continues, Nissan has the reset the computer to new settings and the problems and safety issue, in our opinion, was never addressed. I now have a 2017 Rogue Sport with safety issues and sounds like an old car on its last leg after the dealership is done with it. It's time Nissan steps up to the plate and fixes the problem. Maybe the government needs to step in and sanction Nissan for the peoples safety.

Update from Apr 9, 2018: The problem occurred on 4/2/18, Received the Rogue back on 4/6/18
