This model has a widely known issue with the moonroof leaking/clogging due to a poor design. Depending on the amount of water collected, it can pour inside the cabin on the driver and front passenger. When bright to the dealership (numerous times for the same issue) clogged in the front passenger side, the technicians confirmed that this is a design flaw. I've had water soaking the headliner, coming out from where the sunglasses holder and lights are located, from the front passenger side where the drain is, and along side the passenger side frame. Living in Florida, where the humidity is always high, this is a perfect breeding ground for mold and other bacteria.

Apparently, according to my mechanic at jamie's tire in xenia Ohio, all wheel drive Nissan are having problems with the rear differential electrical coupler going bad. This causes it to slip and cause damage to the differential. According to him I am not the first with this problem

The moon roof on my 2015 Nissan Rogue exploded itself. With 2 kids (5 and 2 year old) all 4 of us were driving to leavenworth. Pretty close to stevens pass, the moon roof exploded with a bang sound. The glass pieces shattered all over the car. Even on the kids and kids car seats. For a few seconds I had no clue what happened. Fortunately I didnt panic and nothing went wrong. All of us are fine. I had to continue driving like tat till the next stop where I bought trash can covers, duct tapes etc and patched it up. My insurance didn't have comprehensive coverage so they won't cover the expense. Though I have extended warranty from Nissan, Nissan wont cover the expense as glass is not covered under that. I have had like 12-13 calls with Nissan and the dealer as it is clearly not my fault and Nissan has to investigate into the quality of the glass. But they refused to pay.

My heating system stopped functioning. I took it to the dealership and it was $536 to repair. That didn't fix the entire problem and it's now $1200 more to fix the remainder of the problem. I don't have $1200 so I'm forced to drive my vehicle without the ability to defrost the drivers side of the windshield. It also doesn't heat the vehicle properly so I'm bundled up to drive it.

2015 Nissan Rogue completely lost power on a parkway on October 26th around 7pm during a rain storm. Luckily there was low traffic and was able to coast off a nearby ramp however window-shield wipers stopped working and barely able to see. After coming to a stop the car was cut off and restarted. No check engine light or other warnings appeared on the dashboard. After a few days the car had no issues and then it cut off again on October 4th while at a stoplight late at night. I notified Nissan of America of the issue on September 27th and they mentioned there are no recalls or campaigns however I see several reports of the same power failure issue online. Local Nissan dealer has had the car since October 5th and cannot duplicate issue or find codes indicating what could cause the power failure. This is a vey serious safety issue and Nissan should know what could cause the car to completely power off and all control is loss briefly while driving. Car has approximately 103,000 to 106,000 miles and all maintenance has been done along with no previous serious engine or transmission issues.

Nissan Rogue 2015 - sunroof/moonroof shattered suddenly. We were driving on a freeway with cruise control set at 65mph; the weather was sunny, approx. Low 80's. nothing was irregular about the feel of the car, we were not driving under an overpass, other vehicles on the road were not ultra-close to us, and we didn't drive over any objects, then suddenly, we heard a loud bang out of nowhere which harshly startled us and got our hearts pounding. After realizing the car was still operating normally (ie: No flat tire, no steam from the engine, no warning lights etc.) when we stopped to look over the car for any sign of damage, we finally discovered cracked and lifted glass on the exterior of the panoramic moonroof. Looking closer we found numerous more long cracks so we opened the interior sunshade to look up at the glass from the inside of the car, and were astonished to discover the entire rear portion of the sunroof was shattered into little tempered pieces. We were lucky I didn't swerve and potentially cause an accident after the thunderous bang and/or that the glass didn't dangerously cascade on top of us while driving. This is a major motor vehicle safety issue and defect. After researching what could have caused a sunroof to randomly shatter, I'm appalled to learn that this has been a recurring issue on Nissan vehicles for years! my local Nissan dealership/service center said they are not responsible to fix this obvious concern"! we pay extra to have a car with a sun/moonroof, only to discover after the fact, that they are susceptible to exploding suddenly and randomly and shattering into pieces which I'm now informed is my responsibility to fix"

I was driving down the highway at 70 mph and heard a loud noise, like a gunshot in my ear. I heard glass falling and loud wind sounds coming from the sunroof. The sunroof shade was closed but I knew the glass had broken. I pulled over and there was a giant hole in my sunroof. I was not near other vehicles when it happened so I knew it wasn't a rock. I was concerned that someone had shot at my car.

Vehicle heater stopped blowing hot air. It will occasionally work but it does not consistently work. It does not matter if it has been running for a while or not. It is a safety concern during the winter when the windshield fogs up and vision is impaired due to the fog.

On Friday, January 24th at approximately 11:50am, my sunroof exploded on my 2015 Nissan Rogue. Weather was dry, road conditions dry and free of debris. Outside temperature between 52 and 56 degrees. No overpasses were traveled under. No traffic in front of me. Traveling at approximately 60 ' 63mph. I heard a loud explosion and glass fell from the sunroof onto the me, the middle console, both front floor mats, the passenger seat, rear seat and rear floor on both sides. Explosion blew up, not down, with the glass pushed upwards at the open, shattered edges.

I noticed recently that my vehicle's heater is not working properly, when I turn on the defogger/ heater, the passenger side works fine, but the driver's side only blows cold air, which, when living in the North East is a problem on cold days as the window will fog up while driving. Also, this causes me (the driver) to have to resort to wearing a scarf and gloves while driving as it's my side that is freezing. I've done some research and notice that this is a common problem with the Nissan Rogue, and that any attempts to re mediate the problem is only temporary and has been known to happen again. This winter (2019-2020) has been extra cold so I only noticed this now when trying to warm up the car.

Cvt transmission jerks in eco mode each time after releasing the gas pedal, also even when not using eco mode the grinding noise coming from transmission when going down the hill even if you're not applying on the brake pedal, also front passenger seat vibrates when in drive mode and holding the brake pedal at the light, the SUV has only 33,500 miles on it. In my opinion all issues are due to manufactured faulty transmission. According to mechanics consulted was told jatco company that makes transmission for Nissan makes bad cvt transmissions. A friend's dad owns a Nissan also and had his cvt transmission that went bad replaced with a new purchased cvt transmission from Nissan dealership and after about 60,000 miles he's having transmission issues again.
