With SUVs taking over the road, one might wonder what makes the 2020 Nissan Rogue special. The automaker claims it makes owners “feel at home on the road,” but relaxing in a house isn’t nearly as frightening as driving this vehicle. With a defective electrical system, malfunctioning powertrain, troublesome structure and scary service brakes, this vehicle puts people in a lot of danger.

Problems with the Electrical System
With a properly functioning electrical system, the new tech advances and critical systems run as they are supposed to. However, the Rogue is suffering from multiple complaints.
Here is one Edmunds review to consider. “There is a feature on this dashboard called Android Auto, an app that connects your phone to the dashboard. It worked for a couple weeks then stopped. The dealer can’t fix it cause it’s an app issue and the app people have been trying to fix it over a month with no luck. I tried buying a new phone and it still doesn’t work properly. Now I am stuck with a vehicle that I bought for certain features that do not work.”
While that review focuses on the comfort features, there are more dangerous occurrences happening behind the scenes. Service Bulletin #NTB19-071 discusses trouble with the Occupant Sensor Unit, which could prevent the air bag from deploying properly. To ensure customers “feel at home on the road,” it might be better to bring some pillows along for the ride. At least there would be some protection during an accident.
Problems with the Transmission
As part of the powertrain, the transmission is a vital aspect of a smooth ride. Yet, this is one more part that seems to disappoint customers.
Another Edmunds review states, “The car is nice but the engine is sluggish and the CVT transmission from Nissan seems to have a habit of failing from all the research I have done. I have had one CVT fail five months after warranty expired of course. I will NOT use a CVT again.”
Aside from performance, there are mechanical issues with this transmission. Service Bulletin #NTB17-003a talks about fluid leaking because of a bad transfer assembly. Without a replacement right side drive shaft seal, the fluid would run out and cause major transmission failure. Is this something new SUV owners should be concerned about? Not typically. At this point, if a customer wants to feel at home, it might be best to simply stay there.
Problems with the Vehicle Structure
No one expects a new vehicle to start falling apart at the seams, but that’s exactly what is happening with the Rogue.
Just read this Edmunds review. “We have been generally happy with our Rogue SE, but they had a serious screwup in their painting department. We have had a brand new 2020 car for four months, and it has 3 doors with rust spots!”
Among Nissan’s communications, there is nothing said about paint defects or rust. At this point, it’s a problem that Nissan doesn’t want customers to be aware of. Instead, the company is hoping customers will simply focus on the “home-like” ride that is offered and forget that there is paint falling off of the sides of the SUV. At worst, the chips of paint can serve as a breadcrumb trail to lead you home.
Problems with the Automatic Emergency Braking System (AEB)
Rounding out the list, a look at the braking system is required. This defective system appears to be causing some dangerous issues on the roadway.
One NHTSA complaint states, “On today, February 27th, at approximately 12:56pm, I was driving my 2 week old 2020 Nissan Rogue Sport on 31st heading south to state street in Chicago, Illinois suddenly applied to brake with flashing warning lights and sirens, with no obstruction in front of the vehicle. However, there was a van behind me which may have caused an accident as my fault. I then parked my vehicle and contacted the dealer and I was told that if it happens again to bring the vehicle to the dealership for an inspection because once the ignition is off the diagnostic wouldn’t read.”
Once again, the Nissan camp is strangely quiet. If the company is hoping to provide peace of mind to customers, there are things that must be addressed. Anyone who does research into this SUV knows that it would be entirely better to remain home if that is what the owner wants the ride to feel like. However, if someone is looking for a thrill ride that can be dangerous, the Nissan Rogue is the ideal option.

| Description | In october of 2022, while I was driving my 2020 rogue on a country road to a school event for my granddaughter, the car made a soft bell sound then it immediately slammed on the brakes for no reason that I can understand. I immediately pulled the car off the road. It showed a triangle with an exclamation point within it in the dash display. I shut the car off and when I restarted it the triangle was gone and it drove ok. I later read online that this could be an aeb issue. It was a clear day with no rain and no cars close in front and, luckily, behind me. It scared the hell out of my wife and I. I no longer feel safe in the car if it can do this for no reason! I brought the car into a nissan dealer to have it checked on 9/20/22. They did not find any problems with it. They also did not see any fault codes that something happened within the vehicle's memory. I find it unbelievable that the car did not record the fault. To me this means that nissan has deliberately disabled this function for this fault. I have done a lot of research and apparently this is a well known issue with nissan vehicles, not just the rogues. I have also read that there are 2 class action suits against nissan for this. I brought the vehicle in again in jan 2023 to get the car checked again for the false activation of aeb, feb, or fcw. This time I asked to have it checked per ntb18-041d and reprogrammed to the latest software and/or any required hardware to fix this well known issue. They said this ntb was not for my rogue and did not fix it. I have read that this is normal for this defect shown in the ntb. I am still afraid to drive this car and have only driven it about 400 miles since it was looked at. And now I only drive it with the aeb disabled as I was instructed by a tech in the service dept. I would really like to be able to use the aeb safety feature without fear of it falsely locking up the brakes while I'm driving. This rogue only has 6835 miles on it. |

| State | NJ |
| Description | Was driving on a county highway in mercer county, nj that I've driven many times before around 40-45 mph in perfect sunny weather, mid-morning, when suddenly the car slammed on the brakes on its own. It was a terrifying experience as it happened so fast and I had no control over the vehicle. The blessing is that no one was behind or next to me, but what's unnerving is there was no one or no objects in front of me. It actually took me a few minutes to make sense of what happened. There was seemingly no logical reason the automatic emergency break system should have activated. I drove it slowly to the dealer and left it as it was a weekend. Next day they checked the car/sensors and could not find an issues and said the software was up to date. They opened a ticket with nissan who advised to replaced and configure the sensor. I pray it doesn't happen again but they can't guarantee it won't as they said they've had other complaints (which they report to nissan). If someone had been behind me, I was driving faster, or bad weather was present it could have ended very badly. I'm terrified it could happen again that I plan to keep that feature turned off when driving on high speed or busy roads. The annoying part is you have to manually turn it off each time you start the car. I've only had it back for a day so not sure what will happen. While the dealer did all they could to help me and make sure my car was safe, I think these features/sensors need to be investigated, let's not wait until someone dies or is seriously injured. |

| State | PA |
| Description | Over the past 6 months was when the following electrical issues began. I was traveling around 25 mph when my foward collison warning signaled and led to the automatic braking emergency engaging. There was no other vehicle or object around. I was in the countryside. The weather was clear. If this were to happen under different circumstances on a busy highway it would have caused an accident, most likely fatalities. The other drivers would have had no warning because the vehicle does brake hard even stop abruptly depending on speed. The vehicle locked up and I didn't have control over my vehicle anymore. Also more then once the forward collison light came on when it was raining and/or dense fog. The brakes did not engage and the alarm did not sound but the warning still showed on the dash. It eventually stopped showing on my dash as I drove, but I did pull over and wipe the sensor area. Another problem I'm encountering is the parking collison warning. Sensors are detecting something and being activated when there is no object behind vehicle. I even got out of vehicle to make sure because I didn't see anything in my camera. When I made sure there was nothing obstructing my travel I preceeded and the sensor stopped beeping. I have checked the nissan website and entered my vin but unfortunately there were no recalls for these malfunctioning sensors. |

| Description | My wife has been feeling ill after being in our 2020 nissan rogue over the past year. We had noticed a very bad smell when it was first started about 7 months after owning it. It was purchased new with only 4 miles on it. The milage now is just under 14k we did some research and found out that we should look at the cabin air filter. When we removed it we found it to be covered with black mold. I replaced it and about 3 months later we were having the same issue. We had wrote to the corporate office and ceo our letter and case was given to madison an executive specialist our case number is case #45577085 and her direct number is 615-725-7752 we were asked to meet with paul smith at crown nissan greenville sc which we did. We also met with ryan baughman the serice director. They want to replace the entire system even though they did not see any obvious issues. That date has not been confirmed as the parts were not available at that time. The problem is that my wife is unable to be in her new car for any extended amount to time. I worry that nissan is at one point going to tell us there in nothing more they can or will do. At age 68 we have never had any issue like this in all the vehicles that we have owned in year past. They suggested that once the new systems is installed that they would install a carbon filter. After a considerable amount to research we are not the only ones with this type of issue, but beyond that the bottom line is my wife feels ill after a short time inside this car which was bought for her. Any help would be greatly appreciated |

Safety feature that is no longer a safety feature, but a hazard to self and others while driving. When ur car stops would be my #1 one indicator especially on the freeway and at random times= accident, the possible death of self and others! No, the dealer cant no regenerate the code. No other inspection except the local dealer. No other warnings. Light just randomly appeared 2 days after the purchase of the car, a few months later, etc same pattern. Was informed weather, then dirt. Not sure how a person can avoid weather; fog, condensation, moisture. Or bugs hitting ur windshield or review mirrors while driving. I would have to bubble wrap my car for that and those things not to possibly effect this sensor. |

| Description | Driving down interstate on nice clear day with minimal traffic, cruise control set at 70mph when suddenly the cruise disengages, warning light begins to appear on dash showing 2 cars colliding with audible alarm informing me that the front radar is obstructed. Cruise control will not work and any attempt to use cruise control is met with audible alarm and warning that front radar is obstructed. I stop, check all radar/sensors for debri... Everything is fine, no bugs, not debri, no obstruction. I restart engine, same warning appears before I even put transmission in drive. Start driving, same situation, front radar obstructed, cruise not available. After 10 miles or so the flasing light goes off, everything returns to normal, cruise control works properly. Car may experience this oroblem twice in hundred mile trip on perfectly clear day. Other times it may not happen at all on a 100 mile trip. When this does happen in heavy traffic the situation becomes dangerous quickly because the automated braking is disabled and if the radio is on it's easy to not realize the system is off until your speed is reduced significantly. I have had 2 close calls because of this - one with a car in front of me stopping abruptly and the system failed to maintain the selected gap between my vehicle and the vehicle in front of me so I had to veer onto the median to avoid a collision; the second time the cruise abruptly disengaged traffic behind me almost ran into me which caused vehicles behind me to have a close call. So far this problem has always happened on the highway or interstate, never in town. Sometimes when it is raining really hard the same warning light & audible alarm will sound, however cruise control remains operational as does the automatic braking. So it appears to work properly at times. |

| Description | My wife was driving her brand new nissan rogue 2020, she was headed to work and it was snowing. As she was driving down the road the automated emergency braking system literally slammed on the brakes at full force making her slip and go over a curb, my wife did not even touch the brakes all she had time to do was brace for the crash. If this would have happened on the highway I would not have a wife right now this happened on 01/27/2021. The collision system of the vehicle caused this due to what the vehicle itself is saying malfunction in the front and rear collision systems. She was scared to death the collision system is supposed to stop accidents not cause them. I have a claim number with nissan as well for this [xxx}. My vehicles rim is cracked, inner tie rods broke, the collision system will not let me drive the car as when I start moving it the brakes engage immediately its making a horrible shaking noise like its stalling and I can hear the brakes engaging and trying to actively stop the vehicle. I do not want my wife or anyone driving this car. This is super dangerous and I want those sensors either removed or nissan will have to pay for my car so I can get a new one this could kill thousands of people if its not corrected. I have video and photo proof of this.*dt*dt*jb*dt consumer has not taken vehicle for diagnosis yet. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).†|

| Description | This vehicle was purchased brand new on june 2020. First incident was in november 2020 I was driving at 55mph on a highway and all of the sudden the emergency brake was turned on and my car came to a complete stop and the car started beeping letting me know of the possible collision. There was clearly nothing in front of me but thanks to this incident I came so close to causing a monstrous chain effect of an accident and could have been fatal if someone would have rear ended me given the speed everyone is traveling and my car suddenly stopping. I took my car to the dealership it was purchased from and they "did a software update" and replaced the electric module of the car. Since that incident I am very fearful that it'll happen again. It's terrible that I'm driving a care I don't even feel safe in and still paying. Also there's this noise coming from the back axel's they sound like if there braking apart very loud and every time I back up they can even be heard and it turns heads and its terrible again I'm embarrassed of the loud noise of it and took it to the dealership all they can say is "cant hear and cant fix issue since its non-existent". Also the radio randomly will shut off and power on at any time then speakers start to sound like if someone dropped water inside of them! And again the dealerships response "no issue at the time of service" and there recommendation is to record it on my phone when it happens. Well I cant do that if I'm driving. This car is the definition of a lemon. Not happy of the purchase and wouldn't recommended this vehicle to anyone. |

| Description | Several ocasions my 2020 nissan rogue will unexpectedly break while driving. I took the vehicle to my local dealer for service. They told me they hooked it up to a diagnostic computer and no issues were found. I left in the car with no repair done. Over the next two weeks the vehicle had several unexpected breaking occurrences. I contacted the dealer and spoke to the service manager. He told me he needed the vehicle for two days and when could I bring it in. We agreed on a date and the vehicle was dropped off. During the time between contact and the appoitment I found nissan technical bulletin tsb ntb18-041c which is a tsb about false activation of the aeb system. I brought this to the service manager attention and he said he would look into it. I dropped the vehicle off and he had his master technician look at the vehicle. I was told that they drove the vehicle and found no issues. The diagnostic computer showed no error codes. When I asked about the tsb I was told that it did not apply to my vehicle. I was told to keep a log of when and where the false activation events happened and there was nothing else they could do. I have attached the tsb to this complaint. With no resolution to this safety issue from the dealer and nowhere else to turn for help I am now very hesitant to drive this vehicle due to the fact that the vehicle may stop at any time and could cause a crash. |

| Description | Driving down ohio pike after a short stop, car felt like it was driving in a low gear or not shifting and the manual option was not engaged. Traveling approximately 35-45 mph for about a mile or so when all of a sudden the steering wheel jerked to the left and car decelerated into oncoming traffic turn lane. Thankfully no one was in turn lane. I put car in park, collected my thoughts, daughter reached over and put hazards on. There were no warning lights on the dashboard and the weather was cloudy but dry conditions. I was able to drive the car to a parking lot across the two lanes, turn the car off, restar it drive it around the parking lot and then attempt to drive it to nissan dealership 3 miles away. The car still seemed to not drive like it was in the correct gear so pulled off into a restaurant parking lot and eventually was towed to closest nissan. It has been one week, I still do not have my car back because dealership will not release it back to me for safety reasons. The dealership indicated they are working with nissan. I was given a loaner car to get home in another state. This is is a lease car that I am paying for and not able to use and now I am scared to drive. As of now dealership told me a wire came loose from the computer. |

| Description | My 2020 nissan rogue I only had about 3 days and I was driving turning out of a church parking lot and it cut off on me. I tried to crank it and it would not crank. The check engine light was also on. Had to have it towed. The second 2020 nissan rogue I got from the same dealership, I have been having issues with the feb/aeb light coming since september. No one, no animals, no fog, no rain, no other cars are near me when this light kept coming on, that I have video of. Had it looked at at two different nissan dealerships one found past codes in oct and the other on 11/3 said everything was perfectly fine nothing was wrong. On 11/4 I was driving about 35-40 miles per hour on a city street and my car just braked on me out of no where. And a red/orange light with a car in the middle with a sound wave type symbol blinked on the dashboard and when off before I knew it. It was terrifying and thankfully no one was hurt because our heads flew forward and this could have caused an accident. No cars were in front of me during this time, but there were some behind me that could have hit me and caused a major accident. The dealerships are aware and so is nissan consumer affairs, but I am still being told it is okay to drive this unsafe vehicle because there are no codes that the computer can find. |

| Description | Three separate incidents have happened since leasing this car on sunday evening on november 1, 2020. The first 2 happened shortly after I left the supermarket, I was pulling out of a parking spot & checked all my mirrors and windows prior to pulling out when I felt in gut that something wasn't right, I covered my brakes while slowly pulling out and asked my son to check out on the right side of the vehicle and there had been a child inches away from my car and I did not see nor was alerted by the vehicle. The second, incident happened when I returned home with the groceries and my children were exiting the vehicle with the groceries, my son then came back to check to see if I needed something else carried upstairs and I did not see my son as I began pulling off, my son children both yelled in voices of distress.. Mom! Stop!!! I said, what happened, he said you almost ran me over. Again, the vehicle failed to alert me that someone was in an area that I couldn't see. I couldn't live with myself if I caused bodily injury to my son that could potentially cause grave danger, loss of a limb or death. The third incident happened on wednesday, november 4, 2020 at approximately 2:46pm, I had been driving cautiously as I do adhering to the speed limit, I noticed a bicyclist pedaling along his way, it seems as if we were heading towards the same direction so I proceeded to drive cautiously as I was approaching an intersection to make a left, I checked all three mirrors and even looked back didn't see him so I began to make a left as I was turning left I could see him in my peripheral vision approaching the cross walk. I immediately stopped my vehicle giving him the right way and thanking god that I did not hit him. Again, my vehicle did not alert me that he was anywhere near my car meanwhile he was extremely close, |

| Description | I purchased a 2020 nissan rogue sv that has a power adjustable drivers set. The slide rail assembly has play in it when adjusted to my driving position. It rocks back during acceleration and rocks forward during breaking. I can sit in the seat stationary and move it forward and backward with my body weight. The service manager at the dealership tested several other 2020 models and found 3 others with the same issue. One of them rocked back and forth even worse than mine. I contacted nissan consumer affairs and was told by the representative that their internal review was " this is a natural occurrence of the manufacturing process." I owned a 2017 rogue with the same seat. There was never any play or movement with the drivers seat. My concerns are that if upon impact either front crash or being hit from the rear, this movement in the seat could possibly result in the seat breaking free due to the improper gap between the slide rail assembly pieces. It is also a severe distraction to me as the driver. Distracted driving should be taken seriously in this matter. My last concern is this. How many of these faulty power seats are out on the roads already? I don't want to see a single person caused harm during a crash. Please investigate these power seats from nissan immediately. Safety must always come first. Thank you so very much. |

The front end collision warning lit up on the dashboard indicating that the front end collision sensor was activated. There were no vehicles or objects in front of the vehicle during either incident on the straight highway. Since the vehicle was on the highway (55 mph), it caused the drivers body to be pushed forward onto the seatbelt. The driver experienced significant discomfort after each event. Luckily there were no vehicles behind me as the rogue came to a complete stop. After the vehicle stopped, the front collision light went out and the vehicle was able to be driven as normal. |

This makes driving the vehicle dangerous because you need to train yourself to look to the right to know the speed. When I first drove the vehicle it was on average speed which was read 21 miles per hour. I was actually doing 70 miles per hour. This can be easily corrected with a computer up date. I was total I could pay for an update. Why should I have to pay to know how fast I am going. This should be standard on all vehicles if the analog speedometer is not in the center. |

| Description | Forward emergency braking system, applied hard breaks at 40mph, bring us to an abrupt reduction in speed to 15mph. This happened driving over a rail road track that is embedded in the tar, no traffic in front for 1/4 mile, 9am full sunlight. I also notice the forward emergency braking warning light comes on erratically flashing for different periods of time, this has been on the highway and city roads, it happens with no vehicles or any obstruction in front or side of my vehicle, it happens on overcast day or full sun. A second incident occurred while I was driving at 50mph on a 3 lane highway. I was in the middle lane and a tractor trailer was passing on my right side, when the cab was just past my headlights, my nissan rogue hit the breaks hard enough that it lurched us unsuspectingly forward, this happened while I had my foot on the acceleration peddle. Lastly I have noticed while using the cruise control and the vehicle is going downhill, easing the accelerator ever so slightly that the forward emergency breaking warning light will illuminate, but not every time. I would note I live in florida and when I said downhill, I only mean a slight decline, we are at sea level, flat land. |

I am so disappointed with my black 2020 Rogue. The paint chips and scratches very easily. I have road rash on my hood and have not had this car 2 years! I am not hard on my cars and my Ford Escape did not do this! I love the safety package it has but I wish I had never bought it and I’m in it for my finance duration. I’m not sure how to remedy this!
I brought my 2020 Rogue SV in February of 2022. Problem with my bumper didn’t show up for 30 days or so. They are not tight to the body of the car. I too can see the clips. Nissan needs to fix my bumper this problem.
I bought mine with 18k miles on my 2020 rogue sport and i stopped near a car and the brakes grabed weirdly like a grinding sound. I have small paint knicks and also. The car clicks real quick on start up and i wait then i push it softly and it turns over real soft a couple times then fires up. A yeallow triangle with exclamation and red car with key stays on. The fob is starting to not recognize my car also. Two auto parts said well its the altenator other says battery and no codes are putting out. Seevice dept says they have no clue about what they are doing now they are charging me 400 for battery not sure why i have all these warranty and nothing covered
I bought my 2020 Nissan Rogue in January 2021 and whenever I lock my car with the fob it has a history of random beeps – 2 sets of 3 beeps. The dealer told me it was because both of my fobs were on the same key chain. I now leave my spare one at home and the issue continues. Recently when I use my fob to lock the door the beep is very faint. Also when it’s very cold the accident/collision warning light flashes until the car warms up. I have also had the weird brake issue out of nowhere – once as I drove down the road at 50 mph with nothing in front,on the side, or behind me. I have an appointment with the dealer about these issues. I have little white nick like marks on my hood’s paint as well as the small uneven area on my front driver’s side bump. It sounds like I have the same issues as both of the previous posts. Yikes. I bought the car with 29 miles so I guess that’s considered new. I currently have just under 15K. I may be trading her for a 100K miles warranty Hyundai.
I bought my 2020 Nissan Rouge in August and as soon as I turned the fan on, it rattled my car! This issue was, I believe, a unique incident, however, the dealership sold me a car that clearly had something wrong with it. When I took it in, a rodent has chewed through and made a nest in my air filter. This caused the dealership to completely open up my dashboard to get to the issue.
The bigger issue that I am now experiencing is my brake warning light has been coming on. The first time it can on, I refilled the fluid, though it seemed extremely odd that I would be doing this about 7000 miles. The next day (2/25/2021) I was driving on an empty road and my automatic brakes kicked in. There was clearly no obstruction in front of me and my brakes kicked on in the middle of driving. I found this extremely odd and unsettling but brushed it off. The next day (2/26/2021), my brake fluid light kicked on once again. Unfortunately, it is now a Saturday and the dealership service shop is closed after noon on Saturdays and closed on Sundays. I do NOT feel safe in my, what is supposed to be, brand new, reliable car.
I brought my 2020 Rogue sv 6 months ago now. I wouldn’t think the body would have problems this early. My bumper isn’t tight on the body it’s about a 1/4 inch off the body. I can see the white clips this shouldn’t be. The service department at loyalty Nissan trying to say that’s standard. I’ve seen a lot of rogue that don’t have this problem. I want my car bumper fixed.
