I have a 2018 Nissan Rogue SV AWD, owned it since new. It now has 203K miles... all maintenance done according to schedule and have had no problems whatsoever.

We changed the transmission fluid shortly after we bought our 2017 Nissan Rogue because it was starting starting to shudder, and no we didn't use the factory garbage fluid, we put amsoil CVT full synthetic fluid which is a much more superior product and no problems ever since. 👍🇨🇦

Iv had my 2016 Nissan rogue form new only owner I’ve taken it across half of Canada car has not only performed physically but it has performed amazingly I’ve taken my rogue through mountains snow road so sharp etc wile driving this machine 200km continuously never failed me never lost control nothing it did exactly what I needed it to do I’ve owned this car for 6 years I payed maintenance once I felt ripped off never again against warranty did all the maintenance my self and just had a full inspection cars perfect I have none of these issues you talk about. I trust this car with my life I’ve taken care of it by doing easy things to do wish any one should be able to do. Warranty was done after 3 years or a 100k am at 110k All way put full synthetic new filters engine flush every time just reached 11000k I’d expect I do an oil change oils still 80 clean and fells still thick it’s a nice golden light brown looks like it was put in a month ago Nissan rogue is a great car there everywhere. I’ve never seen my model and year broken down

Quite literally never experienced any of these issues in 3 rogues I've owned.

Wish I had known all this a month ago. Just purchased a 2020 rogue sv. Wish me luck.

I do not recommend flushing the CVT transmission. Simply drain and fill, and do that multiple times if necessary. Flushing can dislodge all kinds of stuff you don't want going through the valve body.

Everybody's saying Nissan cvts are crap. I got a brand new Nissan rogue 2020. It's now run 9000kms. What I have experienced is that the cvt is not the culprit, it's the software system that synchronize the engine rpm, load, other conditions to select which cvt ratio to use. The software is not efficient to read sensors and map to a fine tuned cvt ratio instead it tries to keep the engine in the optimum fuel efficiency mode which actually affects the right selection of cvt ratio. This leads to jerks and shuddering because of wrong engine rpm, load vs cvt ratio hence putting load on the cvt belt thereby reducing its life and damaging internal components ultimately leading to cvt failure. I came to this conclusion after carefully listening to the engine and cvt sounds and the way car behaves at almost every instance in time and driving conditions like rolling, turns, uphill, downhill and how cvt changes its ratios. I think Nissan needs to find a balance between fuel economy and cvt performance instead of keeping the engine in efficiency mode always. Also, there is a bit of resistance in cvt when the car is slowed down just before a full stop and gently revved up against instead of stopping. The cvt shows signs of wrong ratio selection and makes the car lethargic. The car runs perfectly when started from a full stop but show signs of incorrect engine to cvt ratio mapping in conditions involving frequent slowing and revving to follow the traffic. You have to wait for the cvt to switch to correct ratio before revving the engine again to make it perform smoothly. You can actually feel when the cvt changes the ratios. Also I have disabled the auto engine braking and trace control to avoid putting extra synthetic software load on the transmission which made it run much better than if those settings were enabled by default

I like the clarity and energy of the mechanic, very pro.

I once have a Sentra and it lasted me 20 yrs then an Altima, no problem at 113k until got rear ended and was totaled. I trusted Nissan.

2016 Rogue and there are a few minor issues but NOTHING has happened that caused me to not be able to drive it in these past 7 years of ownership. Great video❤

We have 250km on our 2015 SV 2wd. Did a trans fluid change @ 120km. A sensor for the timing went (cheap). Two wheel bearings. AND Canadian winters. For $28k new, no complaints.

The Nissan front struts are terrible. Mine both broke after less than 70K miles. Thanks for the video!

I went to a Mercedes dealer because they had used cars that I was interested in. A four-year-old SUV for a reasonable price. Me and my family including children tested Toyota RAV-4, Honda CRV and coincidentally Nissan Roque Midnight SV. All with a similar mileage. After a few hours when we had to choose, everyone unanimously agreed that Nissan is the best. Something was wrong with Toyota, and something was wrong with Honda. In general, in my case, it was the super comfortable and quiet ride as well as the good design and layout at the front of the cabin that decided. I did not expect such a choice. This car, despite its flaws, makes an impression and has something about it.

Since this video was done Castrol came out with its TransMax transmission fluid that for the first time crosses the CVT/ geared transmission barrier. Ratings looked really good, and I tried in on my Nissan NV200 van. Runs great. A gallon on Amazon is only $24 and is rated to replace Nissan NS 2, and 3. Also good for Toyota and Honda. Really helped lower my costs for maintenance.

When it comes to Transmission issues. All mechanics go for the easy route and tell you you need a new one.

Heating issue: Using either a Nissan or above average home scan tool you can perform a few operations to address this problem. The blend door actuator (hot / cold) can get out of calibration. The scan tool can initiate calibration and possibly restore correct heating / cooling. There's also a programmable temperature offset of up to +/-6 degrees fahrenheit that adjusts the output temperature from the vents vs. the configured temperature on the user control panel in the vehicle. Finally there are adjustments for where air should come from, floor, def, center, that can be configured by the scan tool. This is an important consideration, IMHO, because the calibration, offsets, and other adjustments are lost if the battery is removed or disconnected. There is more detail about this in the Nissan Rogue Service manual if there are any questions about what I've said...

I have a 2018 Rogue SV and have had none of the issues mentioned yet. But I only have 43,000 miles on the SUV.

This guy's face reminds me of somebody who would steal your lighter ...if he asked you for a cigarette 😂

I didn't have any of those problems. And I know through forums and experiences, the problems that most owners of these Nissan have are problems with the air conditioning fan, the lambda sensor (the service station has already put 3 new ones on me), the eternal problem with the stop-start system.

Wrong nissan trans oil is horrible, put AMSOIL, 100% synthetic this will actually fix your transmission.

Didn’t talk about that annoying squeak that comes from the steering column.

I have a 2014 SL AWD with 258.000 km never had any of these problems , only problem is the rear differential went bad and rear wiper blade works intermittently

Ok, I have a 2019 Rogue with 32,000 miles bought it in 2019. Still has new car smell and have babied it. What sold me on the Rogue was its roominess and bigger suv feel. Yeah the 4 cylinder engine is underpowered but have gotten 37 mpg. I don’t abuse it because of the transmission. My only problems so far is the driver’s door lock and mechanism which have been replaced twice. Because of the transmission being a cvt I am thinking of trading it in. I have had all maintenance done including transmission oil change and will change at every 15,000 miles. It’s too bad the transmission is so delicate! I have never driven it in the snow either and it’s garaged. Not impressed with Chevy and Chrysler and ford because the dashboard looks cheap. Chevy suvs look similar to my old Malibu maxx that I once owned. But until I find something newer program vehicle with factory warranty I do and will drive my Rogue like an old lady. I don’t have $50,000 to pay for a new SUV and won’t buy anything that was in an accident ever! I want to roominess of the rogue in my next purchase but no cheap plastic dashboard, CVT, a bigger screen on the dashboard and at least a hybrid. But since getting the door fixed twice I am beginning to wonder about the quality of this vehicle? Or should I just get an extension on factory warranty and baby it which I already do. ?

Thanks you for the info,im currently looking for a suv now,something awd,its good to know what suvs have common problems to look for.

I have a 2015 Rogue and sometimes when I stop at a red light the rpm drops and the vehicle vibrates a bit. Any idea as to what could be causing this ?

Lool I still love my 08' slawd 200,715 miles

Thank you for the tips. I just bought one of these and feels good. I miss my Honda Odyssey 2011 i want after the Nissan another Odyssey but last gen, and 2nd trim. I don't want the Towring or Elite i don't want to pay about 6,000$ more for almost not much xtras. The Nissan just for have fun going around or work

I had issues with my brand new rogue with lack of heat coming out. I took it to dealership and they send it was fine. Never did get hot air come from heater. That and a water leak coming from rear window lead me to trade it in 6 months after buying it.

Has the 3rd gen rogue improve it's CVT reliability compared with 2nd gen?

Im having code p2004.. i replaced the IMRC but issue still... What else can I check? Any video?

Can you please make a video on rear hatch latch not releasing keeping me from opening the 2014 Nissan rouge trunk. ?

Thanks for sharing. From Puerto Ricooooooo salute ☑️💪🇵🇷

Mine had 180,000 km. It was hesitating from stop , so traded

What about the “Chassis control system error”

Thanks guys really good information 👍👍

We just purchased a 2018 with only 6K miles on it. I’m regretting buying it, I want to get rid of it now and find a car without a cvt transmission.

Thank you for the informative video, sir. Cheers 🇺🇸🇨🇦

Hi, can you show how to replace the valve cover gasket on Nissan Rogue for 2nd generation?

If air pockets are common where's the purge valve. The differential sucks as well

Our 2014 Rouge is jumpy. Prior to that, our heat stopped working. We changed the spark plugs , etc. But it still shakes. Also the exhaust pipes shoot out small amounts of water.

You Crazy dude, and i love it and I'm subscribing NOW. Thank You Bro.

I’ve been having issue the evap system (circuit) I took it to Firestone to get it fixed, spent 1500 and still messed up

This video calmed me down! I just got a 2020 Nissan Rogue and it drives rough! It was making me super nervous!

Cvt transmission from Jatco my sister bought a 19 Sentra. You know what year is that and miles

Thanks for the video. I have a question about my 2014 Nissan Rogue. occasionally the traction control light will come on and the car is difficult to drive, slows down to a crawl, acting very erratic. it can happen anywhere, it used to only happen when it was still cold, but now anytime. Can you help me?

Had a 2002 RAV with jerking problem. I replaced the resistors on the main computer board, jerks gone (if only humans were this easy). The old resistors were exhausted i.e. out of spec. Could this be the prob with a Rogue 2014?

These are not issues constricted to the Nissan rogue.

I guess that will be a hard pass for me on the Nissan. Thanks for the info.

My km range are lower than gas tank level. Ex. Full tank rogue equals 603 km, but its sowing 530. Why?

Any updates on the Nissans? Looking at a 2023 NISSAN ROGUE SL for my wife. Thanks

I have a rouge sport 2020 and when making a u turn it feels like it’s tripping and it sounds like the struts make sound like it’s loose taken it to the dealership they claim nothing is wrong what can i do ??

I have a 2020 Rouge the miles to empty and the gas needle are broken is this an easy fix, if I keep my tank full will the car still run

Literally having all these problems LOLLLLLLL

In my rogue 2015 sv there appeared Chasis Control System error Car starts but steering and transmission hand bar does not work

I got a 2018 Nissan Rogue. This is during the winter. I start my car but it just make a clicking noise

Hello sir what the cause nissan rouge 2014 s not stay d but goes to l gear T I a.

Mine is windshield washer wont work. 2017 rogue. Fuse good,swapped motors and nothing. No power to pump.

Thanks alot point3 help alot

#6 Issue liftgate malfunctions

Do you have a Shop where I can go

Question : my 2001 Ford F-150 5.4 makes a chirping squeaking noise when I accelerate and stops when it’s running over like 50 mph their has been 3 times where it did not squeak. I ordered the exhaust manifolds and I’m hoping it’s that and engine light is on and says both banks are running lean. And it rarely starts to shake like as if it’s misfiring when at a stop light only done it 2 times it’s started the noise when the O2 exhaust sensors went bad almost a month ago so I replaced them but the noise is still there do y’all have any idea what it could be if it’s not the manifolds

Please make more for all the other cars 😁

I hate the way CVTs behave.

I have a 2020 have me so much headaches in less than a year. So I would say garbage toy!!!

Can you do a video on the abs

I regret buying our our Lease on our 2019 Rogue sport. 31K and the blower on the HVAC doesn’t work. Jeez. Also radio volume randomly gets loud and soft on its own. I’m trading in for a Toyota. Nissan never again.

Thsnks

Thanks🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Bruh, I say just avoid the Nissan Rogue completely. Buy a Toyota.

time to clean that battery,,neg post looks nasty

1st problem it’s a modern Nissan💩

Recommendation....don't say "obviously" so much....also, "of course".. You know these things, but if you are trying to educate people who don't...

eSTA BACAN PERO EN ESPAÑOL POR FAVOR

Coming off a lil strong there bud lol

The "buy a Toyota" gang is nauseating.

i thought it was x trail

Don't buy a Nissan rogue period!

You speaking too fast, please slow down

I had a Toyota, mice ate it. Lots of soy in that car.

Vehercle 😂

These are junk dont ever buy one.
