Gets regular oil changes based on typical recommendation for a low mileage vehicle. Oil is checked regularly. This is in addition to a bad intake fan that needed replacing and cost 1.5k…

   My vehicle’s engine will shut off while driving and I don’t know what the cause is. There are no vehicle warnings such as a check engine light to let me know a problem exists. I am terrified that my car will shut off with my child and his friends in the car.

   I reported to my dealer that my 2017 rogue sport has been overheating and they stated that they were aware of an issue with the radiator fan. The car will be fine while driving, but if idle or in stop and go traffic, the engine will overheat. I am unable to use my car without fearing for it, shaking and overheating during warm weather if I am not constantly driving.

   Rogue Sport 2017, 52K miles: The A/C was not blowing and I took it into Firestone where they said it was a weak air compressor (this shouldn't be the case on a low mileage car). A week later the hood started smoking and upon inspection the coolant level was 1/4 tank and the engine malfunction light was on. I took it to and independent service center, Bass Auto (Nolensville Road, Nashville TN) and they said it was NOT SAFE to drive (engine can overheat and catch fire) due to…

   about a year after I had the car (2019), the A/C went out. We fixed it at the Nissan dealership. Periodically, the engine would stop when I went reversed. This mainly happened in the summer. About two years ago, the A/C went out again. I noticed both the stalling in reverse and the A/C not working (not sure if related). The engine stalled and smoke came out of the engine. We fixed the engine--basically saying that it was an A/C issue. Last year during the summer months, the…

I took to personal mechanic, they said they could not find anything…

    My vehicle has stalled twice now while I am driving. The dash lights all turn off and the car just stops going. Once it stops, I can’t start the car unless I physically remove the key, put it in park and start the car again

    My car overheated. when I took it to my mechanic, he let me know my cooling fan assembly needs to be replaced, there is not a single cooling fan assembly for a 2017 Nissan rogue sport SL available in the continental US. Nissan has no idea when they will have the part available again, and neither do any of the aftermarket vendors such as AutoZone. This leads me to think that every single rogue in the country has had a problem with the cooling fan. I understand supply chain…

    When I accelerated after being at a complete stop, my vehicle would not move at first. The RPMs shot up, but no movement. I was at a busy intersection and the situation was bothersome but there was no accident. I very slowly pressed the gas pedal again and the vehicle went forward. This is not the first time this has happened. Current mileage is 89,600. This type of problem began around 75,000 miles but has not been a weekly occurrence. This has not been confirmed by a…
