2021 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

When driving home on the evening of 3/24, I was on the interstate (70mph) when my 2021 Nissan Rogue started to decelerate and would not gain speed. I got off at the next frontage road exit and when at the stop sign my check engine light came on and shortly after my car started sputtering when stopped and would barely gain speed. There was no prior warning lights or signs to indicate an issue. The car dealership was already closed so it was taken the morning of 3/25 where a diagnostic was performed. They said that they would need to replace the Engine Assembly - Long Block and that it wasn't covered since my vin wasn't affected. I called consumer affairs and I am outside of the extended warranty by 2000 miles so they will not assist. This has been a known issue wth Nissans enginea failing, and their extended warranty isn't long enough. My engine should not have juat failed with no warning.

The contact owns a 2021 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at 10 MPH, there was a loud sound coming from the vehicle, with the collision warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to go forward or reverse as needed. After inspecting the vehicle, the contact became aware that a metal object had detached from the vehicle near the front driver’s side wheel. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the steering rack, tie rod, and struts had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 66,996.

I was driving my car and my car all of a sudden dropped speed and when I pressed the gas my car started shaking and jerking.

Computer system keeps messing up, I’ve taken it in a couple times for the same issue and it still keeps getting worse, sending wrong signals also sometimes it revs up when driving out of nowhere and it’s dangerous

I was told at 58,000 miles that the front control arms where cracking and need to be replaced. I requested Goodwill assistance and was denied by NMAC. I searched this problem and found that Nissans have a history of recalls and complaints of control arms needing early replacement due to poor quality parts.

Vehicle will come up with a collision warning and tell you to refer to the owners manual. And then tells you to pull over and shuts off the vehicle. After 10 seconds vehicle starts up again and drives. My wife it have been seriously injured or worse had others in the road not been paying attention. No check engine light. Researched multiple people online with the same issue. Vehicle needs to be recalled. This is a dangerous safety issue.

I was in my 2021 Nissan Rogue and just turned right down the street from my in-laws home ( out of state in Indiana) when the vehicle violently jerked to the right and I was unable to control it and sent me into a ditch. My speed was 14mph when this happened. I managed to get it up on the road and inspected it. I found the right front rim broke, the lower control arm broke, and inner tie rod bent, as well as body damage to the fender and bumper.The tpms light and the forward collision light is on at the dash. I reported it to my insurance company. I managed to put the spare on and get it into my in-laws driveway. It will need towed to get repaired. The vehicle can be inspected where it is at. No warning lights before for this incident happened. I’m very greatful this didn’t happen on the interstate with my family in the vehicle.

When activating the right turn signal the windshield washers and wipers will turn on. Washers, wipers, and the turn signal all turn off when the turn signal is deactivated. This can cause some unexpected visibility issues while turning. Also, when turning the headlights from "Auto" to the "Off" position the windshield wipers will turn on. The wipers will stay on until you Switch back to "Auto". These problems are repeatable. I plan to contact the Nissan Dealer to see how much a multifunction switch replacement would cost.

June 2025 rear door locks stopped working. (Odometer 12,538) I was unable to lock/unlock doors with key fob or with inside driver's door lock/unlock button. Repaired 06/10/2025 at Mentor Nissan, 44060, by replacement of parts #82500-6R0B & 82501-6R0B: CONTROLLER-LOCK in both rear doors. Incident #2: Feb 2026 front driver-side door lock became inoperable, the same as had occurred with the rear door locks. I'm at Nissan Mentor today (02/17/2026) for evaluation & repair. (Odometer 15,200) Both of these door lock issues resulted in inability to enter/exit vehicle. Very dangerous if someone were unable to exit vehicle in emergency. Otherwise a big inconvenience requiring one to climb over other seats to enter/exit vehicle. The car is under extended warranty. June 2025 I paid $100 deductible plus tax & fee, totaling $110.21. Today's repair cost to be determined. In each incident there were no warning lamps or messages. Both issues began with intermittent lock/unlock failure, then escalated to complete failure within 2-3 weeks. This has caused several inconveniences of not being able to enter the vehicle through the effected doors. And now the second incident again requires waiting for repair. In the first instance with rear door there was a wait of several weeks for the needed replacement parts. I anticipate the same delay with the front door repair. As I write this I'm at Mentor Nissan facility waiting for report from service department.

MY REAR BACK UP CAMERS STOPPED WORKING. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER. I BOUGHT THE EXTENDED WARRENTY FOR ELECTRONICS SO THEY REPLACED THE CAMERA TO NO AVAIL. THEN THEY REPLACED THE A/V CONTROL UNIT WHICH DID NOT FIX THE PROBELM. AT THAT TIME THEY ADVISED ME THE REAR WIPER GROMMET LEAKED WATED WHICH CAUSED THE CAMERA CONNECTOR TO CORRODE. THEY ADVISED ME TO FIX THIS I MUST REPLACE THE TAILGATE. THERE IS NO REPAIR FOR THIS. I HAVE SEEN POSTING ON FACEBOOK AND OTHER PLACES SHOWING I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON THIS IS HAPPENING TO. THE DEALER KNEW ABOUT IT BUT WHEN I QUESTIONED IF IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE THET PLAYED DUMB I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I HAVE NO REAR CAMERA NOW
