September 15, 2026. Driving and car engine was sluggish and car wouldn't move. Red oil light came on. Managed to get the car to a parking spot and let the car cool off. Checked the oil and it was low, so put more oil in. Will follow up with mechanic but can't understand why I've not gotten a recall notice when there have been MANY of these same complaints!! Now I am afraid to drive the car! 2023 Nissan Rogue SV.

Our front and backup camera do not work. We took it to a Nissan dealer on April 20, 2026, and was advised that the AVM control unit has to be replaced. They found and recommended: "All system scan found AVM missing from dtc sheet. Performed can diag found AVM offline. Rec replace AVM control unit." Research shows that there is a defect in the rear wiper grommet or seal allowing water to enter the liftgate, contributing to the overall failure of the rear hatch components - water corroded the rear backup camera unit.

The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving 20 MPH, the collision mitigation braking system erroneously engaged and the vehicle failed to accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal. Upon returning to normal operation, the vehicle was pulled over to the side of the road and was then driven as needed. The contact stated that the failure had occurred on several occasions. The dealer was contacted, and an appointment was scheduled for a diagnostic test; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 7,000.

On September 6, 2026, the rear liftgate window of my 2023 Nissan Rogue SV AWD was discovered completely shattered while the vehicle was parked. The vehicle had been parked since approximately 7:00 a.m. and was not being driven when the glass failure occurred. There had been no known collision or prior damage to the rear glass. When the vehicle was discovered, the rear window was shattered throughout. We did not identify an obvious impact point or object that would explain the breakage. The rear wiper remained attached and there was no other apparent damage to the liftgate. Because the glass failure occurred while the vehicle was stationary and without a known impact, I am reporting this as a potential safety defect involving the rear liftgate glass. Had this occurred while the vehicle was being driven, shattered glass could have entered the passenger or cargo area and created a safety hazard. I have photographs documenting the condition of the vehicle and broken glass.

Since purchasing my 2023 Nissan Rogue brand new, I have experienced severe drowsiness and an inability to breathe when driving in start-and-stop traffic. The issue peaked after a recent refueling stop, where raw gas fumes or exhaust heavily infiltrated the cabin. Immediately after driving away from the gas pump, I suffered acute chemical suffocation, gasping for air, experiencing body tremors, and nearly passing out. The symptoms instantly resolved when I switched to driving a different vehicle. This is a severe cabin fume infiltration defect that causes physical incapacitation while driving.

Is 709 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2022 and 2026, roughly 188 a year, which is more than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.

How does it compare with other years? The 2023 has 709 complaints on file, more than the 2022 (258) and more than the 2024 (200). That is the most of the 17 model years of the Nissan Rogue we cover. Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
