What 592 owners told NHTSA about the 2017 Nissan Rogue Select

Nissan Rogue's rear door has a sharply angled edge (right below the outside door nob/handle), which can be dangerous for young kids. While getting out of the rear door, my son who is 4 years old hit his head on the angled edge of the door and cut his head. Looking at other cars in the same class, most other doors have smoothed angled edge or relatively straight edge with no angled edge.

The sunroof self combusted (not rock or object hit it) while driving on the freeway. It shattered and pieces were flying off until I could stop. I believe there is some defect with that glass and or the protective coating that causes this from what I have learned. It is extremely dangerous and thankfully we had the sunroof cover closed.

There is a severe acceleration issue happening with this vehicle. When ibling for to long or stop/go traffic, the acceleration of the vehicle disappears and seems to ride with little mobility. The rpms will sky rocket, yet the car will not move fast at all. It's gotten quite scary crossing two lanes of traffic from a stoplight. There is an attached doc from the manufacturer communications section stating just this issue on Jan 2018.

As I was driving, steadily pressing on my gas, and I felt the car stopping. The car sounded like it was in neutral and I was pressing on the gas but it didn’t make a difference. I pulled over put it in park, then drive again. The problem persisted. I turned off the car and then it drove regularly. This has occurred 2 times already. I use premium gasoline and get oil changes regularly. This seems like a transmission problem. I’m very scared this might happen when I’m on a highway.

EVERY SINGLE TIME I DRIVE MY 2017 NISSAN ROGUE, it acts up at the worst times when I'm trying to cross a busy street with oncoming traffic, sometimes very high speed, I cannot get sufficient acceleration!! I HAVE COME SO CLOSE TO GETTING HIT THAT NOW I AM CONVINCED, IN A MATTER OF "WHEN", THAT I WILL BE HIT!! I am aware that You and Nissan are aware of the CVT being a problem that no one wants to take responsibility for. I'm keeping this report so "when I get hit" a lawsuit will be forthcoming. (Even if I die) I've instructed family to sue if I parish.

On 4-27-2023 With no warning light's or any symptoms of problems, I made a left turn at a busy intersection and upon acceleration of the gas the car felt as if wanted to stall. I had a brief decline in power with a bit of locking of the steering wheel then it jolted forward and ran normal. I'm glad I was only a half mile from home to park it safely. On 4-28-2023 I was able to drive it a mile from home without incident to have the oil changed, as well as fuel injectors cleaned and radiator serviced, in hope that it would help with the issue, but it did not. I was able to get it home and as i was about to parallel park I put it in reverse and turned my wheels and it began locking of the wheels on and off. I am blessed to have made it home and not be on the road with my family.

I have just purchased the car and have not driven it over 100 miles, and when the car heated up, it would not shift out of first gear. I took it to the Nissan dealership because when I called them they said there is a known issue with this CVT transmission and Nissan is replacing or repairing them at no charge. They inspected the car, and since there were no error codes they informed me that they could not do anything for me. The car cannot be driven and I do not know what to do.

My passenger side warning light stays on continuously, even when someone is using it. I've ask dealership several times and last time they finally checked and said that something to do wiring and that if I had a crash that either airbags will deploy. And that it will cost me almost 3000.00 to fix. Is this something that is part of a recall that can be fixed? Without me paying for? That requires alot of money out of my pocket that I don't have. Thanks

Liftgate malfunction. Liftgate of vehicle was found open when entering our garage despite previous night it being utilized and closed. I pressed the button on the liftgate to close the liftgate and both my husband and I witnessed it closing and heard the usual "click" sound that liftgate had closed completely. We entered the vehicle, and my husband started the vehicle. As he was slowly moving forward out of the garage, we suddenly heard beeping and the liftgate was opening without warning, hitting the top of the garage, causing the rear glass in the liftgate to shatter and damage to the rear wiper and liftgate paint. The plastic inner cover came off also. My husband moved the car to the street to clean out the class from the back, closed the liftgate and a few minutes later it rose again automatically without warning. When we brought the vehicle in for repair we mentioned what had occurred and asked that it be checked for accurate operation.

My air bag light was on, so I took it in and they said that it was an umbrella that was the problem which I have never heard of. So now I can't put anything in the back seat. After that the light kept going on and off now it's on all the time. So they said that it would cost me thousands of dollars to fix. I think it's a line so they don't have to fix it. My rogue is 2017 and only has 20000 miles.I think there's a problem with the air bags lights.

Nissan has Not properly sealed the exterior of this car exposes the customer to extensive weather damage to the motor, electrical and the cabin of the car. Owners of this car has already hhad safety issues because of the root problem the car is not weather protected from it's inception. I'm not the expert but you have to weather seal a house and you must weather seal your cars because they are in the elements reagularly. No customer at the point of sale and no salesman can assure that the car is properly protected from water getting inside the car! That is an issue that the manufacturer should ganuantee. Ive owned numerous cars and water leakage into the cabin or motor has never been a problem. This should be a national recall to address the water leakage problem. This water breach has also caused mole and mildew to grow on the inside of the car.

While driving home on an expressway, the vehicle began to slow down and the engine rpm’s began to increase to about 5000 rpm. The vehicle did not have any more power, and would only go about 5-10 mph. This put my daughter in danger, not being able to keep up with traffic, and quickly decelerating in traffic. The dealership has confirmed that the CVT transmission is failed, and the vehicle is currently still at the dealership awaiting replacement of the transmission.
