2018 Nissan Rogue Sport Complaints

The contact owns a 2018 Nissan Rogue Sport. The contact stated that while her brother was driving 55 MPH on the Interstate, the hood flew open, struck and shattered the front windshield. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the contact’s residence. There were no reported injuries. The local dealer was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and informed the contact that the VIN was not under recall and a case was filed. The approximate failure mileage was 67,000.

The car would not start after it rained all day.I had it towed from my job at Walmart to Firestone and they said it was an electrical problem and that I need to have it towed to the Dealership .So I had it towed to the Dealership and they called me the next day and said it was an engine Harness.They also told me that this car was bought in March the 12th by the previous owner for the same problem.I brought this car from DriveTime on July the eleventh and they did not let me know that this car needed major work. Now they refuse to help me solve the problem.

In 2023, the car started rattling, smoke appeared near the engine, fluid leaked from the bottom of the car (front), the coolant tank began to overheat and bubble, and then the car would not turn on. Scheduled a maintance check at local auto shop, informed me a hose was loose and needed replacement. Hose was replaced. The same symptoms occurred a few months later. If the car is in idle, the coolant tank overheats, and the car shuts off. I took the car back to the same shop in September 2025, and they informed me that the issue is not with the hose. Instead, the coolant tank has a hairline crack, and the fan, thermostat, and coolant expansion tank need to be replaced.

The radiator cooling fan on 2018- 2020 Nissan Rogue Sports has failed and does not turn on, which causes the vehicle to overheat and the air conditioning system to stop functioning properly. This problem creates a significant safety risk, as the vehicle can quickly overheat when idling or driving in traffic, potentially leading to engine damage, vehicle breakdowns in unsafe locations, or even fire hazards due to overheating. The issue has been widely reported by many Nissan Rogue owners, and I have confirmed through online forums and news reports that there is an active class action lawsuit related to defective cooling fans in Nissan Rogue models. The cost of replacing the cooling fan is significant, often over $1,000, and there are widespread reports of shortages in replacement fan assemblies, making it difficult to repair the vehicle in a timely manner.

I was driving on a highway when my car began to stutter. It felt like the vehicle was struggling to accelerate, so I attempted to pull over to a side street for safety. However, before I could do so, the car completely lost the ability to accelerate and gradually came to a full stop. I managed to get it onto the shoulder just in time, but this occurred on a bend in the road, where visibility was limited and traffic was fast-moving. Multiple vehicles had to swerve suddenly to avoid hitting my car. Because the road was narrow, I couldn’t safely exit the vehicle without risking being hit. Police were called to the scene and had to park with emergency lights to protect me and other drivers from a potentially serious crash. A tow truck was dispatched, and the vehicle was transported to a Nissan dealership. The dealership confirmed that the CVT transmission had failed. This failure placed my safety and the safety of other drivers at serious risk, especially due to the sudden and complete l...
