The Rogue compact crossover SUV has been a top-seller for Nissan since its launch in 2007. In 2021, the company launched what they called “an all-new Rogue” that was designed to deliver high quality through technology, safety, and design. Without making many changes, Nissan set out to make the 2022 model more fuel-efficient, more powerful, and more fun to drive. Unfortunately, owners are experiencing acceleration and visibility problems. There are also two recalls, one of which increases the risk of a fire.

Most Common Problems with the 2022 Nissan Rogue
There are only a few complaints to the National Highway Traffic Administration (NHTSA) about the 2022 Nissan Rogue. These rank acceleration and visibility issues as the major problems.
But additionally, there are two recalls that highlight other problems. One is because of an improperly manufactured fuel tank. It’s extremely important for owners to be aware of the risks because a faulty tank will increase the risk of a fire. It also increases the risk of injury if the SUV is in a crash.
The second recall relates to an “inoperative” rearview camera display. When this is faulty, the driver’s rear visibility is reduced. This also increases the risk of a crash.
Problems with Acceleration
This is not a new problem for the Nissan Rogue. In fact, a loss of acceleration in the 2013 model is ranked one of the worst Rogue issues ever. A related acceleration issue, where the 2011 Rogue would stop while driving, was also a major problem.
Here’s what the owner of a 2022 Rogue from New Jersey has to say about the acceleration problem.
“I do not feel safe in my new car. There’s a problem with the turbo/acceleration.”
He explains how it won’t accelerate for 2–3 seconds when he pushes the gas. And when it does accelerate it “jumps forward fairly fast.” If he’s at a stop and ready to cross, and takes his foot off the brake when the car is going at only 1 mile an hour… then he presses the gas…”It’s as if it’s in neutral. The car won’t move forward for 2-3 seconds. It’s going to get me into an accident.
“For example, If I am at an intersection, and I cross and a car fails to stop at the stop sign… And I see them coming towards my car… I will not be able to move out of the way because of the acceleration problem.
“Or if I’m on the highway and am slowing down due to traffic ahead, and the car behind me doesn’t see and slams on their brakes and I see and hear it and look to my left and see no cars, I want to speed up into the left to avoid being hit by this car behind me….
“My car will not move and I will get hit anyway. I have a five-year-old son. I do not feel that he and I are safe in this car. Are all these new Rogues like this? If so, it needs to be fixed immediately!! Please help!”
Problems with Visibility
At face value the visibility issue doesn’t seem to be a hugely technical problem. But there’s a complaint on the NHTSA website that indicates it might be. It is reported quite simply as a mirror that shakes and vibrates. But the technicians can’t figure out how to fix it and a Nissan field engineer says it’s normal.
A new 2022 Nissan Rogue Platinum owner noticed that his side rearview mirror was very shaky when he drove home from the dealership.
“After speaking with my salesperson, I tried to fold the mirror in and back out again to see if that would help the situation. It did not. Whenever I drive at speeds as low as 20 mph, the mirror will shake and give a distorted view.”
The vehicle had less than 500 miles on the clock. So, he did what most owners would do, took into the dealership to see if the mechanics could fix it. They couldn’t!
“The technicians could not figure out how to fix the issue. The service manager drove my vehicle and confirmed the issue. Then, he drove another new Rogue on the lot. He found that Rogue to have the same issue. He contacted a Nissan field engineer who stated the issue is known and considered to be normal. I am unsure how it could be considered normal as the passenger mirror works as expected, but the driver’s mirror shakes and vibrates.”
2022 Recall Concerns
There are no NHTSA complaints relating to either of the recall issues. But we mention the fuel tank because there are parallels that relate to a similar recall for the 2021 model.
There were two recalls for fuel system issues in 2021. One caused supposedly by abnormal wear within the fuel pump. This, Nissan says, may cause it to overheat and fail, making it a crash risk.
The other is due to the possibility of the fuel hose disconnecting from the fuel tank. Even if it doesn’t disconnect completely, it can leak, which will be an increased fire risk. Another risk is that it can cause the engine to stall, which increases the risk of a crash.
The recall for the 2022 Rogue is due to an “improperly manufactured fuel tank.”
Once again, the dangers are leaks, the risk of fire, and the increase of possible injury if the vehicle crashes.
Recall information states: “Road debris may puncture the thin fuel tank wall, causing a gas leak and increasing the risk of a fire. In addition, the fuel tank may not perform as expected during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.”
What’s New for 2022?
After a major makeover in 2020, the 2022 Nissan Rogue SUV looks much the same as its predecessor, inside and out. But when you lift the hood or take it on the road, those who have done test drives say that you’ll see and feel the difference new engine design and transmission brings.
In a media release issued in November 2021, Nissan specifies what’s new:
- All-new 1,5-liter VC-turbo engine
- A new powertrain that increases horsepower by 11% and torque by 24%
- New generation Xtronic transmission
The result is increased acceleration, improved fuel economy, and decreased emissions.
2022 Nissan Rogue Fuel Economy & Specs
There is only one engine/transmission combination for the 2022 Nissan Rogue. But it’s a new 1.5-liter, 3-cylinder version of the mechanical VC-Turbo direct gasoline injected engine that links to a new Xtronic continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT).
For a non-hybrid, compact SUV, there is little doubt that fuel economy will be excellent. But there were fuel system issues with the 2021 model. We don’t know if these will recur in the 2022 model.
What Technology does the 2022 Nissan Rogue Have?
The more you pay the more you get, but tech features include an 8-inch, NissanConnect touch-screen display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto that comes standard. The Rogue Platinum offers wireless AppleCarPlay as well as wireless smartphone charging, and a premium Bose audio system.
From the SV up, you get an 8-way power driver seat that features power lumbar adjustment as well as ProPilot Assist. The Platinum model has ProPilot Assist with Navi-Link that can adjust the speed of the vehicle based on map data, like a bend in the road.
The SL and Platinum have a power front passenger seat, a memory for the driver’s seat and position of the steering wheel, a hands-free power liftgate, tri-zone climate control, and a 360-degree camera.
The Platinum has a 10.8-inch head-up display and a 12.3-inch digital gauge package.
What are the Trim Packages for the 2022 Rogue?
There are three trim levels, the Rogue SV, Rouge SL, and top-of-the-line Rogue Platinum, each of which has its standard features. The SV and SL packages offer premium upgrades that have additional features from the SL and Platinum packages respectively.
Some of the standard features include:
- Base level Rogue S – LED headlights and taillights, 17-inch alloy wheels, and the Safety Shield 360-degree safety suite. Comfortable, zero-gravity seats that offer good support.
- SV – 18-inch alloy wheels, and a panoramic moonroof that seems to float.
- SL – Leather interior trim and 19-inch alloy wheels.
- Platinum – Seats are upholstered with diamond-quilted semi-aniline leather.
How Much does the 2022 Nissan Rogue Cost?
The starting manufacturer’s suggested retail prices for the front-wheel drive (FWD) vs the slightly more expensive all-wheel drive (AWD) vehicles are:
- Rogue S – $26,700 & $28,200
- SV – $28,390 & $29,890
- SL – $33,050 & $34,550
- Platinum – $36,480 & $37,980
As you can see, adding all-wheel drive to any of these trim levels adds $1,500. Also, all these prices exclude the $1,175 destination charge, which is nearly double that of last year’s model.
Your Lemon Law Rights
Nobody can say how many 2022 Rogue lemons have rolled off the Tennessee assembly line. But it’s inevitable there will be lemons for sale. If you are one of the unlucky purchasers, you don’t have to be stuck with a lemon.
Lemberg Law can help you get a replacement vehicle, get Nissan to buy it back, or refund your money. You’ll be fully covered because the law makes Nissan pay the legal fees.

| Description | Vehicle smells of strong gas smell in the cab and around the vehicle. Smell is so strong it makes you feel light headed and gives you a headache. This is a huge health concern for me. When parking in the garage it smells so strong that you have to then park it outside for a couple hours after driving so you do not have a fire hazard in the garage. Took it to the dealership to have diagnosed and was told that they can't find a problem however now I'm see reports that nissan is aware of the issue and it is under engineering review but there is nothing they can do at this time. I then reached out to nissan consumer affairs which was absolutely no help at all. This is a huge safety and health concern for me. |

| Description | 3/21/2023 rear crash warning went off and car would not move leaving me in the middle of the road blocking both lanes of traffic. Car eventually permitted me to go forward however crash warning continued to blink. It's recorded on video the flashing warnings. Had the car at dealer for recall of head unit on 11/16 and has been back 3 times since and has not been repaired. On approx2/62024 I had a critical error appear on my screen and the abs took the car from 70 mph to under 40 on the highway for no reason. On 2/7 I was called to bring the car back to dealer and was given a rental car for over a month, there was a firewall repair and fuel line repair. Still no head unit with no eta! From my understanding head unit will hopefully fix sensors from randomly going off. Dispite having video of it happening, nissan can't duplicate so warning issues are not repaired. The car is dangerous but have no other means of transportation and it can't seem to get repaired because they don't have the parts yet still have the parts to continue to produce them. |

| Description | I purchased my new 2022 nissan rogue a few months ago. I do not drive a whole lot seeing as I am working from home. Yet I have noticed on many occasions that after going out and running my errands, I come home and park in my garage and my garage smells of very strong gas fumes. Yesterday I brought my car in to the nissan dealership for its first oil change and the service attendant asked me how I was liking it. So, I brought it up to him about the strong gas smell in my garage after driving car. He informed me that this is not the first time that they have heard this. He said they are researching at this time but have not been able to locate the issue. He stated that they were thinking it was the winter gas and I said no way. If gas was the issue, why is it only the 2022 nissan rogue having an issue with the gas. Makes no sense. He stated there is no recall on it yet seeing as they cannot figure out the issue, but I will most likely be seeing a recall once they figure it out. They noted on receipt that "they were unable to duplicate concern, no fuel leak at fuel lines or tank. Nissan is aware of issue and seeking a remedy, customer will be notified." this is very scary to me, it is a strong smell, like there is raw gas leaking. I am afraid of it catching fire or just the fact of inhaling these fumes are not safe. This is a huge safety hazard and nissan does not seem to care. Are they waiting for something horrible to happen before they take this seriously? |

| Description | Unknown very strong gas smell inside the vehicle and outside the vehicle and under hood. This started with less the 4000 miles on it and it is just over 6200 miles at this time. I brought it to local nissan dealer lia nissan of saratoga and was advised they can not find anything wrong with it and they can not do anything without a recall. So I am driving a vehicle around with excessive gas smell inside and out. This seems dangerous to me. I did express my concern to both the dealership and nissan themselves and they still refuse to do anything. I asked what happens if I am in an accident and my car starts on fore or if I am driving and my car starts on fire. The service recep. Said well it looks like you will have a law suit. So don't think they realize this is not good. Breathing in gas is a health issue and this should be addressed and should not be ignored. These vehicles had gas issues the year prior so why isn't this a concern for nissan. This is a new vehicle smelling gas is a hazard and puts myself, my family and people driving around me at risk. Please consider reviewing this further. Thank you jill tracy |

The fumes are so strong that it gives us extreme headaches, dizziness and nausea. When we park the rogue in our garage, it creates a strong gas smell. We are concerned that it could explode or cause a fire. The vehicle was taken to ron sayer nissan in idaho falls, idaho on february 4, 2023 for diagnosis. The service manager, [xxx], informed us after examining the vehicle that he did not know what is causing the strong gasoline odor. The dealership did nothing to repair the vehicle and the problem continues. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |

| Description | Gas fumes from engine compartment – after the car has been driven 20-30 mins enough to heat up the engine and then parked (turned off) for 10-15 minutes a strong smell of gasoline is detected, you can smell it either by sniffing in the front grill or if you start it and use the outdoor air circulation in the cabin it will come through the vents. There are enough fumes to fill a 1 car garage in 30 mins with a thick odor of gasoline. The fumes are nauseating and cause headaches. My salesman at hawk nissan suggested changing gas to a top tier brand so I starting using mobile but no help with the fume issue. After speaking with a service manager at woodfield nissan, he said that he's had a few cars come in recently with the same problem. Nothing is showing up mechanically so they chalked it up to a “break-in period†and/or possibly a coating used in manufacturing. Brought it back to woodfield nissan a couple weeks later stating the oil dipstick has a strong smell of gasoline same smell I get in the cabin and around the car. He found nothing unusual with the oil smell. I took it into hawk nissan oct 2022 with 800 miles now with 2943 miles still having the issue. Not sure if this is affecting my mpg but I'm only getting 18-20 mpg mix of city & highway driving. Recently I'm seeing a lot of the same complaints with the 2023 models. |

| Description | The gas pedal in my new 2022 nissan rogue has stuck open full throttle twice. Both times I managed to avoid a major car accident, but I was in the middle of a highway with traffic... I was in the left hand turn lane and pushed the gas pedal to the floor - the vehicle immediately seemed to be full-throttle in low gear - this is a problem with this vehicle. It slips into low gear about 20 percent of the time when you put it in d. The engined raced but the vehicle moved slowly. I took my foot completely off the gas pedal but the gas pedal stayed fully engaged. I pushed on the brake and managed to stop the vehicle with the engine still racing and the vehicle still trying to lunge forward. I tried to put the vehicle into neutral but it bypassed neutral - even the dotted indicator transmission light bypassed neutral and jumped into reverse. The car lurched but I still had the brakes fully engaged... This continued with me again tryying for neutral - then I gave up and concentrated on taking one of my 2 feet off the brake and reaching under the throttle. I had to slip my seat belt off and slide down to accomplish this. I did manage to do it and the gas pedal did disengage. I estimate the pedal was stuck and the engine revved full throttle for four minutes or a little longer. My son was outside the vehicle (waiting for me to pick him up) and he witnessed this from outside the vehicle. This is obviously very dangerous and could be deadly. In my case it could have caused a major multi-vehicle accident. |

| Description | For roughly the last three months, several times I have smelled fuel or gas in the interior cabin. Mostly at startup for first time during morning. But also when starting car after use earlier in the day. The smell dissipates after 10 minutes or so. Especially if I roll down windows to let in fresh air. Please let me know how address because dealer will not see issue as it does not occur with a defined pattern that I recognize. I did notice that when the gas tank was near empty the smell was very strong - and I was driving car for several minutes before the odor started. This issue is not healthy for breathing and I'm worried about it getting worse and becoming a safety issue. |

| Description | Vehicle has raw fuel smell, both outside and inside. Smell intensity varies, sometimes it is faint, sometimes it smells up the whole garage for days. When restarting the vehicle after having driven it, fuel smell comes into the cabin from the air vents. Took to dealer multiple times. The first time, the service advisor noted the strong fuel smell. Subsequant visits to the dealer had faint fuel smell that was hard to detect over the typical odors in a repair shop. Opened a case with nissan, and they sent a tech, but no resolution. Requested a re-purchase, and nissan denied it. Nissan states this 1. 5l engine is under engineering review, but they do not know if or when they will figure out a repair. This vehicle is an extreme health hazard with the exposure to hydrocarbon vapors, and is not safe to drive as an engine fire could result from the gas vapors. Issue started a month ago at 1100 miles. |

The service advisor informed me that they have received many similar complaints and nissan is supposedly trying to identify and remedy the problem. He said my car is safe, but I am terribly concerned. |

| Description | Our car was in the garage. I opened the trunk not using remote opener, but from outside. I was taking groceries out. I was leaning in and picking up bags when I noticed that trunk door was coming down. I tried to move quickly out of the way and hit my left side of my forehead. Above my eye. As a result I have a black and blue under my eye and a bump on my forehead and now several days of headaches. So, what is happening is that car trunk door when it was opening reached or hit the top of the garage. That caused it to start coming down immediately. There is no sensor to see if there is something in the way. Similar to garage door where there a sensor that something is in the way and it will stop. We have a small video of what happens. The upload on the next screen does not allow for videos. |

| Description | I do not feel safe in my new car. There's a problem with the turbo\acceleration. It won't accelerate for 2–3 seconds when I push the gas. And when it does it jumps forward fairly fast. If I'm at a stop and I'm ready to cross and I take my foot off the break and the car is going like 1 mile an hour… then press the gas… it's as if it's in neutral. The car won't move forward for 2-3 seconds. It's going to get me into an accident. For example, if I am at an intersection, and I cross and a car fails to stop at the stop sign… and I see them coming towards my car… I will not be able to move out of the way because of the acceleration problem. Or if I'm on the highway and am slowing down due to treaffic ahead, and the car behind me doesn't see and slams on their breaks and I see and hear it and look to my left and see no cars and I want to speed up into the left to avoid being hit by this car behind me…. My car will not move and I will get hit anyway. I have a five year old son. I do not feel that he and I are safe in this car. Are all these new rogues like this????? If so, it needs to be fixed immediately!! Please help!!! |

| Description | I purchased a 2022 nissan rogue platinum brand new in march of 2022. On the drive home from the dealership, I noticed my driver's side rear view mirror was quite shaky. After speaking with my salesperson, I tried to fold the mirror in and back out again to see if that would help the situation. It did not. Whenever I drive at speeds as low as 20 mph, the mirror will shake and give a distorted view. I took the vehicle into a local dealership to have the mechanics look at it and possibly fix it. My car has less than 500 miles on it at this point. The technicians could not figure out how to fix the issue. The service manager drove my vehicle and confirmed the issue. Then, he drove another new rogue on the lot. He found that rogue to have the same issue. He contacted a nissan field engineer who stated the issue is known and considered to be normal. I am unsure how it could be considered normal as the passenger mirror works as expected, but the driver's mirror shakes and vibrates. |

My Nissan 2022 has had the cvt, battery and Emergency light come on right on the interstate while I was driving.
I have a Nissan Rouge 2022 and I smell strong gas fumes inside of my car. It just reached 10 thousand miles. The smell has become more frequent in the past 2 weeks more so in short stops between stores. This is not normal and needs to be rectified or fixed. It has been taken into our Nissan dealer and they too have noticed the gas smell, but can not find why it’s happening? We were told they are seeking further answers from the Nissan company. I am scared of it catching fire!
I also have a 2022 Nissan Rogue with 8000 miles on it. Ours smells up the garage and after we go into a store for 20-40 minutes later, the heater blowers the gas smell in from the engine compartment. We have to open all the windows for 5 miles to get the gas fumes out. The car has been to the dealer two times now and they are supposedly waiting for direction from Nissan engineering. The dealer has admitted smelling.
Being a retire mechanic for 20 years. This seems like fuel pressure is leaking down after the engine is shut off. Possibly through an injector into the intake where the smell comes back up into the engine compartment.
I have Nissan Rogue 2022 and I smell strong odor of gasoline inside my car. The smell gives me headaches. What can I do with that problem?
