2019 NISSAN ROGUE SPORT Complaints

While idling outside of my house after driving home, I started to see some smoke from the hood of the car. I looked at the temperature gauge and saw that it had risen to the hot side. I turned off the car and went to check outside; I saw some liquid dripping slowly, which was blue color. I made an appointment with Nissan. I came to learn that the engine coolant fan had malfunctioned, causing the vehicle to overheat while idling. I was unable to pay for the part and labor at the time, as it was costly. It is available for inspection upon request. My safety was put at risk because of the overheating engine; while it occurred initially during idling, it also has occurred while I was driving. This issue could cause loss of power, making it difficult to maintain speed and potentially hazardous in traffic. The problem was confirmed at the dealership, though I was initially told there was no issue. When I insisted that there had to be an issue, they re-assessed the vehicle and expressed that there was a code signifying that the engine coolant fan had malfunctioned previously. No warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem were present prior to failure. Only after repeatedly insisting that there was a problem, did the inspector at the dealership double check for codes. This issue seems to be evasive, as it does not present an issue consistently.

EMERGENCY BRAKE HAS ACTIVATED TWICE WHILE ON FREEWAY AND MULTIPLE TIMES BACKING UP. THIS COULD OF CAUSED AN ACCIDENT EACH TIME ON THE FREEWAY. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR SERVICE THREE TIMES FOR THIS REASON. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR MESSAGES INDICATED WHAT WAS HAPPENING.

Engine Fan is not working. In doing research, I found this to be a common problems amongst this make and model. These fans are very expensive and if it not taken care of the car overheats causing serious engine problems. This should be a recall asap. I am sure that this has been reported enough times now.

Radiator fan has premature failure and caused my car to overheat and coolant cap to pop off and coolant started leaking

There are times that I would be at a light and go to put my foot on the gas and the rpms would go up but no speed then all of a sudden it goes. I’ve taken to the dealership numerous times and they say they can’t get it to repeat it. I told them to let the car run and it happens. Sometimes it happens even if I drive to NJ. I’ll get off the freeway and get to a light it does the same thing. When I took to another dealership they said nothing is wrong. No codes pop up. But I have used a mechanics code reader and it shows a bunch of codes for the transmission. And I’m not sure if the warranty is still there from where I bought the car from. It hesitates before moving than takes off. Sometimes the engine would rev and not shift or even increase any speed.

Car stops abruptly when no objects or cars are in the road - had to push through on the gas to not be hit/cause and accident. • Seems to be (NTB19-033F). But no longer/ never active for 2019 Rogue? • Can kill someone and cause severe damage to humans and vehicles/property. • Has happened twice (June 2024, January 2025) thankfully with no crashes, but very possible. • Local dealership says it's not an active recall and > $2000 for repair on Jan 9, 2025 2019 Nissan Rogue Sport SL

Hi. I was driving my Nissan car at around 45 to 50 miles per hour and the car abruptly/suddenly stopped in the middle of the road without any warning. I was about to be hit by other cars behind me but Thank God that didn’t happen. I am very scared of driving this car now. My kids also drive this car and I am extremely worried about their safety. I am hoping Nissan will do something. Extremely worried and scared.

The part that failed was the cooling fan. According to a litany of Google searches, and from a few dealerships, Nissan has known for years about faulty cooling fans and has done nothing about it. My cooling fan went out last night and sprayed coolant everywhere. Not only did the coolant become gaseous as it burned against the hot engine, this poses a huge safety issue as it can cause a vehicle to stall on the highway and become a safety hazard in the event that other vehicles ram into the stalled vehicle, and vice versa. This problem has been confirmed as an issue by the dealership that I go to and yet Nissan has refused to do anything about it. Prior to the failure, there were no warning lamps or signs, until it actually happened and then the check engine light came on. By then it was too late. This issue can cause problems if someone is driving on the highway and are none the wiser. After doing some research, there were class action lawsuits against a few 2013-2017 models of Nissan vehicles, but not for anything beyond that. Confirmed by the dealer, these issues are well known and could be fixed with a recall. Thankfully, my car was parked at the time of the incident, right before I started on a 45 minute drive back home from where I was at. I live in the Chicagoland area, where traffic tends to be high and had it happened on the highway, it could’ve caused an even bigger issue to those around me.

Twice, while I was driving with no cars in front of me, the emergency brake was released. The first time, cars were behind me abs the second time they were not. I was driving at normal speed down a street both times. This could cause an accident or hurt someone. Approximate date is the second incident. The first incident was a couple of months before.

The radiator cooling fan and cooling fan assembly failed. I do not have the failed fan available any longer. The cooling fan failed during a heat wave, thankfully I was at a gas station when it failed. Had I not been at a gas station, I would have been stranded in Northern Maine with my [XXX] infant, my elderly mother, and my service dog in excessive heat for hours while waiting for a tow truck. My infant could easily overheat and die in such temperatures. This is a frequent recurring issue in all Nissan Rogue Sports from years 2017 through at least 2022. Forums for Nissan Rogues are filled with complaints of the radiator cooling fan failing (some at 27k miles and often around 67k miles), many complaints occuring in the laat month. Nissan is aware of these issues, many people having the dealership repair the vehicle and others (myself included) complaining to Nissan Corporate itself. The problem has been confirmed by both dealerships and independent service centers. My component was inspected by the service center. I am unsure who else may have inspected others failed fans. There were no warning lights or messages prior to failure. Two days prior to the failure (roughly 48hrs), I had an issue were my AC suddenly stopped working unless the vehicle was in motion, thinking I needed the AC recharged, I made plans to have that done at the next oil change. I now know that this was likely my radiator fan starting to fail. I had no other symptoms of the problem prior to the fan failing completely and nearly overheating my engine.
