Power train

112 reports3 crashes
“The vehicle was experiencing judder on two recent occasions. The vehicle was just over 90K miles and due for a CVT fluid inspection. After experiencing brief but violent jerks/judders while operating between 1,500 and 2,000 rpms, I took the vehicle into the Nissan dealership for said fluid inspection/change. The dealership declined to perform the requested service that day and instead recommended I 'Replace transmission and install transmission cooler' due to a "P0744" code read from the vehicle's ODB. The vehicle's tachometer would bounce when the vehicle was experiencing the issue. What's particularly concerning is that the vehicle has received the regularly suggested maintenance and shows no warning lights on the dash. I researched the P0744 code for the 2014 Rogue and found the NHTSA published service bulletin related to this problem. I'm quite concerned that the dealership didn't offer this investigation as a primary option. The steps detailed in this bulletin: [XXX] are surely less expensive than the transmission replacement recommended. It concerns me that Nissan is skipping prudent and more cost-effective diagnostic steps seemingly due to their tacit…”

“The airbag light has been illuminated. Checked the wiring under the seats & is not loose. This issue has been recalled for other VINs but Nissan is neglecting to expand to all cars with the problem! This is a huge safety risk & needs to be recalled!”

Fuel/propulsion system

64 reports
“This issue is with my 2014 Nissan Rogue that fell under the manufacturer issued recall R21B9 (NHTSA Recall 22V-024). I understand that Nissan has now claimed that this recall has been resolved, but their resolution has NOT fixed the damage done to my car due to the recall. The R21B9 recall states ... "In affected vehicles, if water and salt collect in the driver's side foot well, it may wick up the dash side harness tape and enter the connector. If this occurs, the dash side harness connector may corrode. If the connector becomes corroded, electrical current may continue to flow between the connector terminals, potentially causing issues such as driver's power window or power seat inoperative, All-Wheel Drive (AWD) warning light ON, battery discharge, and/or thermal damage to the connector. In rare cases, the corrosion could potentially lead to a fire, which may increase risk of injury." I brought my 2014 Nissan Rogue to a Nissan service center in April of '22 when I started smelling natural gas coming from my car. The service center diagnosed and confirmed that this natural gas smell was due to recall R21B9. The Nissan service center returned my car to me in…”

“1.What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request?- battery terminals started leaking battery acids and bits of corrosive residues on electrical pigtails leading to other components. Ac compression / motor quit working. Yes is available forn inspection. 2.How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? - I'm not sure if battery acids are considered to be airborne toxins but you could smell aulfer almost like rotten eggs everytime I turned on the ac and then it stopped working. 3.Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? - I could not say for sure if it has or has not been. 4.Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? - currently not yet just bought the vehicle. Have so save more money to be able to afford a diagnostic/inspection of the issue. 5.Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? - no their was not other then the smell started around June 8th 2025 and component quit working June 10th 2025.”
