2019 NISSAN ROGUE SPORT Recalls, Complaints & Safety

In October of 2025 my car stalled in slow traffic after a 100 mile car ride. After 20 minutes, it started again. The engine code was P0507. Two weeks later, without warning as I was accelerating on the highway the car stopped in the middle lane. This was incredibly dangerous. I had to wait 30 minutes in busy am traffic for a police escort. And the event was costly as I had to pay $200 to be towed off the highway. Once the car arrived at the service center, it started again. The mechanic convinced me to replace the purge solenoid as a starting place to address the problem. The car ran normally from November to March. In March 2026, after almost two hours in stop and go traffic, the car engine stalled out again. We pushed the car to the side of the road and waited 20 minutes. The engine started again. The coolant was below minimum and the computer code was P1217, engine overheat. My mechanic found a faulty cooling fan and replaced it on 3/17/26. This experience of the engine suddenly stopping while the car is moving with no warning or lights on the dash until the stallout has been extremely dangerous and costly. I believe Nissan knows of the cooling fan issue given online forums. Not recalling this faulty part has put me and my children in danger. In Summer 2024, the air conditioner of this car stopped working in traffic. It would blow hot air. The dealership could not replicate the issue and instead charged the air conditioner costing me a lot of money. The air conditioning problem has been intermittent since. I believe this is connected to the defective cooling fan and the Nissan dealership did not do their due diligence to investigate the issue.

The transmission failed on my 2019 Nissan Rogue Sport. I was driving down the road and my car started to jerk and go faster and then slower while I was driving down the road at 55 miles per hour. I could not control the speed or the smoothness of the car operation. I had no warning light or any indication that this was about to happen. The warning light came on much later when I was at home. This is a problem that Nissan is well aware of and has done nothing to inform customers or mitigate the damage (in my case $6,599.40). There are many class-action lawsuits, but the one covering this car has already ended as on January 1, 2029. This problem tends to occur at about 80,000 miles, so I am maintaining that Nissan should reimburse me (my car had about 76,000 miles at the time). By cutting off the class-action lawsuit in 2020, no 2019 cars would have 80,000 miles on them. There is a class action lawsuit for another model that runs from 2014 to 2018, so they can honor requests on this model as well.

Radiator cooling fan failed at 43,819 miles. Cost to repair was $554.95. Web search revealed that many others are experiencing this failure at ~40K miles on the Nissan Rogue Sport models. It seems like it should be a recall/reimbursement issue.

Started with loud squeaky sounds when going over bump, accelerating, stopping. Also, seems to move slightly when stopping. DRIVER SEAT FAILURE. Nissan Service Dept says the seat frame has failed and this is a safety issue.

On the fourth transmission with a Carvana car. It’s dangerous to drive. I can’t go more than 65 and I drive 200 miles a week. It just had its left front axel done and now today it is the right front axel. Carvana offered me a 500 credit.

Broken transmission at 100,000 miles ( Maintenance was carried out according to the manual)

My 2019 Nissan Rogue Sport is affected by recall 23V-093, related to the jackknife key potentially collapsing while driving and shutting off the vehicle. The only remedy currently offered is a spacer inserted into the key fob to permanently prevent the blade from folding. This disables the folding feature — a core function of the product — and turns a jackknife key into a permanently extended blade. I consider this an unacceptable fix. It does not restore the key’s intended design or function. No alternate solution (such as a properly redesigned or replacement fob) is offered. My dealer confirmed the “repair” is only the plastic spacer. Nissan Consumer Affairs escalated my case, but the call was dropped during transfer and I could not reach a resolution. I have not experienced a shutdown incident, but I am filing this complaint because the offered recall remedy removes a core feature and does not constitute a true repair. Nissan should be required to provide a fix that both eliminates the safety risk and restores original functionality.

My 2019 Nissan Rogue is just under 100k miles and started bucking back and forth while in NYC and stalled. Radiator fan stopped working and sends signal the vehicle it is overheating Needs to be replaced and thermostat and hoses INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Unknown but it seems like the car is skipping gears, will be running fine then slows to a crawl and if I press on the accelerator harder the car will go wide open and has almost wrecked me across the road in a ditch! It don’t run well the rpm’s jump up and down when I am driving it! I have seen multiple complaints in this same issue! There are accidents reported about this issue why hasn’t it been recalled!

To Whom It May Concern, I would like to report that my 2019 Nissan Rogue has experienced premature engine cooling fan malfunction at 78,000 miles resulting in overheating and engine failure. This is a costly repair, and the dealership is quoting over $1,200 to repair. After further investigation and discussion with dealership, this appears to be a common defect and clearly a manufacture. When researching this matter, it appears that this is a commonly reported defect on the NHTSA website for this specific make and model. I believe that this warrants further investigation by the NHTSA to protect consumers and in the interest of public safety from Nissans faulty product.

To Whom It May Concern, I am submitting this complaint regarding my 2019 Nissan Rogue Sport, which has developed a significant mechanical issue with the engine cooling fan. My vehicle has fewer than 61,000 miles, yet the cooling fan is failing and requires replacement—an extremely costly repair for a vehicle with relatively low mileage. Through my own research and conversations with other Nissan Rogue and Rogue Sport owners, I have discovered that this is not an isolated incident. Many owners report premature cooling fan failure, often well before 70,000 miles. This suggests a potential manufacturing defect or design flaw that could affect a wide range of vehicles, not just mine. The failure of a cooling fan poses a serious safety risk. If the fan stops working properly, the engine can overheat, leading to sudden breakdowns, potential loss of power while driving, and increased risk of accidents. Additionally, overheating could cause further engine damage, compounding repair costs for consumers. Given the frequency of reported failures and the high cost of repair—often totaling thousands of dollars—I believe this issue warrants an immediate investigation and a potential recall. The root cause should be identified and corrected at the manufacturer level so that consumers are not forced to bear the financial burden for what appears to be a common defect. I respectfully request that the NHTSA investigate this matter and determine whether a recall should be issued for 2019 Nissan Rogue Sport models and potentially other affected model years.

I am first concern with the fact that the CVT transmission is not listed under the “component” section and this concern is a major problem many Nissan drivers are seeing. I would like to additional know how this transmission malfunction is not a safety concern as it tremendously affects the speed and operation of the vehicle regardless of maintenance. I have a 2019 Nissan Rogue Sport that recently started to stall at red lights and even lose speed acceleration while in operation. Upon researching what this issue could be I discovered that most 2015-2022 model Rogue have this issue and it associate with the CVT transmission! My question and maybe great fear is why this doesn’t constitute for an immediate recall for Nissan by the NHTSA?! There are multiple reports on this issue to support our claims yet nothing. I strongly advise someone look into this matter before any loss of life happens.

Cooling Fan stopped working and this lead to leaking of anti freeze fluid and smoke coming out of car . I was on highway in traffic Temperature gauge at max and car started to shake. Called Police and called 2 tow trucks .

My 2019 Nissan Rogue sport was having air conditioning trouble for about a week. The air conditioning would only work when the car was moving. My father is a diesel mechanic, although he lives 3 hours away so he had planned to look at my car the up coming weekend. I had gone to grocery store to pick up groceries and on my way home my check engine light came on, my temperature gauge shot up, and my car started hopping forward from engine misfires. I was driving 75 on the interstate when this occurs. If I touched the gas pedal, the car would jump forward and fail to accelerate. I had a semi truck behind me, my two nieces in the back seat, 3 and 5. The semi truck almost hit us because my car went from acting perfectly normal, to not being able to accelerate without engine misfires on the interstate. I only have 92,000 miles on my car. Thankfully I was able to pull off without me and my nieces getting hurt, although I ended up stuck on the interstate w/ two small children in 95 degree hear waiting for my husband to come rescue us. Turns out my radiator fan went out which caused my car to over heat and the engine to misfire. When we tried to restart my car, it wouldn’t turn back on until it cooled down. I am not looking to be reimbursed, I just want to make this issue doesn’t happen to someone else. I have read many many stories of 2017-2019 Nissan rogues that have had the same issue. Thank you.

Engine coolant fan malfunction in summer of 2024 with replacement of engine coolant fan. Again with same issue in 2025 with issue of engine coolant fan malfunction and over heating engine/ exhausting coolant fluid. This has been an issue over the last two years for me and is a major safety concern. I was on a major congested highway in summer of 2024 when the engine coolant fan malfunctioned and fumes came from the hood of my car. It could’ve been a disastrous accident. Again I am experiencing issues with the same engine coolant fan.

While idling outside of my house after driving home, I started to see some smoke from the hood of the car. I looked at the temperature gauge and saw that it had risen to the hot side. I turned off the car and went to check outside; I saw some liquid dripping slowly, which was blue color. I made an appointment with Nissan. I came to learn that the engine coolant fan had malfunctioned, causing the vehicle to overheat while idling. I was unable to pay for the part and labor at the time, as it was costly. It is available for inspection upon request. My safety was put at risk because of the overheating engine; while it occurred initially during idling, it also has occurred while I was driving. This issue could cause loss of power, making it difficult to maintain speed and potentially hazardous in traffic. The problem was confirmed at the dealership, though I was initially told there was no issue. When I insisted that there had to be an issue, they re-assessed the vehicle and expressed that there was a code signifying that the engine coolant fan had malfunctioned previously. No warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem were present prior to failure. Only after repeatedly insisting that there was a problem, did the inspector at the dealership double check for codes. This issue seems to be evasive, as it does not present an issue consistently.

EMERGENCY BRAKE HAS ACTIVATED TWICE WHILE ON FREEWAY AND MULTIPLE TIMES BACKING UP. THIS COULD OF CAUSED AN ACCIDENT EACH TIME ON THE FREEWAY. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR SERVICE THREE TIMES FOR THIS REASON. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR MESSAGES INDICATED WHAT WAS HAPPENING.

Engine Fan is not working. In doing research, I found this to be a common problems amongst this make and model. These fans are very expensive and if it not taken care of the car overheats causing serious engine problems. This should be a recall asap. I am sure that this has been reported enough times now.

Radiator fan has premature failure and caused my car to overheat and coolant cap to pop off and coolant started leaking

There are times that I would be at a light and go to put my foot on the gas and the rpms would go up but no speed then all of a sudden it goes. I’ve taken to the dealership numerous times and they say they can’t get it to repeat it. I told them to let the car run and it happens. Sometimes it happens even if I drive to NJ. I’ll get off the freeway and get to a light it does the same thing. When I took to another dealership they said nothing is wrong. No codes pop up. But I have used a mechanics code reader and it shows a bunch of codes for the transmission. And I’m not sure if the warranty is still there from where I bought the car from. It hesitates before moving than takes off. Sometimes the engine would rev and not shift or even increase any speed.

Car stops abruptly when no objects or cars are in the road - had to push through on the gas to not be hit/cause and accident. • Seems to be (NTB19-033F). But no longer/ never active for 2019 Rogue? • Can kill someone and cause severe damage to humans and vehicles/property. • Has happened twice (June 2024, January 2025) thankfully with no crashes, but very possible. • Local dealership says it's not an active recall and > $2000 for repair on Jan 9, 2025 2019 Nissan Rogue Sport SL

Hi. I was driving my Nissan car at around 45 to 50 miles per hour and the car abruptly/suddenly stopped in the middle of the road without any warning. I was about to be hit by other cars behind me but Thank God that didn’t happen. I am very scared of driving this car now. My kids also drive this car and I am extremely worried about their safety. I am hoping Nissan will do something. Extremely worried and scared.

The part that failed was the cooling fan. According to a litany of Google searches, and from a few dealerships, Nissan has known for years about faulty cooling fans and has done nothing about it. My cooling fan went out last night and sprayed coolant everywhere. Not only did the coolant become gaseous as it burned against the hot engine, this poses a huge safety issue as it can cause a vehicle to stall on the highway and become a safety hazard in the event that other vehicles ram into the stalled vehicle, and vice versa. This problem has been confirmed as an issue by the dealership that I go to and yet Nissan has refused to do anything about it. Prior to the failure, there were no warning lamps or signs, until it actually happened and then the check engine light came on. By then it was too late. This issue can cause problems if someone is driving on the highway and are none the wiser. After doing some research, there were class action lawsuits against a few 2013-2017 models of Nissan vehicles, but not for anything beyond that. Confirmed by the dealer, these issues are well known and could be fixed with a recall. Thankfully, my car was parked at the time of the incident, right before I started on a 45 minute drive back home from where I was at. I live in the Chicagoland area, where traffic tends to be high and had it happened on the highway, it could’ve caused an even bigger issue to those around me.

Twice, while I was driving with no cars in front of me, the emergency brake was released. The first time, cars were behind me abs the second time they were not. I was driving at normal speed down a street both times. This could cause an accident or hurt someone. Approximate date is the second incident. The first incident was a couple of months before.

The radiator cooling fan and cooling fan assembly failed. I do not have the failed fan available any longer. The cooling fan failed during a heat wave, thankfully I was at a gas station when it failed. Had I not been at a gas station, I would have been stranded in Northern Maine with my [XXX] infant, my elderly mother, and my service dog in excessive heat for hours while waiting for a tow truck. My infant could easily overheat and die in such temperatures. This is a frequent recurring issue in all Nissan Rogue Sports from years 2017 through at least 2022. Forums for Nissan Rogues are filled with complaints of the radiator cooling fan failing (some at 27k miles and often around 67k miles), many complaints occuring in the laat month. Nissan is aware of these issues, many people having the dealership repair the vehicle and others (myself included) complaining to Nissan Corporate itself. The problem has been confirmed by both dealerships and independent service centers. My component was inspected by the service center. I am unsure who else may have inspected others failed fans. There were no warning lights or messages prior to failure. Two days prior to the failure (roughly 48hrs), I had an issue were my AC suddenly stopped working unless the vehicle was in motion, thinking I needed the AC recharged, I made plans to have that done at the next oil change. I now know that this was likely my radiator fan starting to fail. I had no other symptoms of the problem prior to the fan failing completely and nearly overheating my engine.

I purchased a 2019 Nissan Rogue Sport a year ago from Carmax. It is just barely out of the powertrain warranty. The engine failed. I have taken great care of this car and gotten it oil changes, new brakes, rotated the tires. I am absolutely incensed that I need a new engine. This is unacceptable . 7/19/24 -Nissan Rogue started experiencing issue with the Air conditioner. I would drive it and it would work while driving but would stop cooling when parked at a stop light. It was experiencing these AC issues for a few days. Temperatures in Sacramento were over 100 degrees this week. 7/21/24 -I called my mechanic 9:00 am and asked if I could come in the next day for an A/C service. My assumption was that it would need to have the AC recharged. 7/21/24 approx 6:00 pm. I was driving with my two nephews [XXX] and [XXX] old). The car started to decelerate. However, after I took my foot off of the gas it would speed back up. It was very scary. I was trying to navigate my way out of traffic as I was in the middle lane and cars were on the right side of me. The eractic way that it accelerated/decelerated was dangerous and could have resulted in an accident. I was very scared and didn’t know what to do. I was able to get safely off the street and parked the car. The next morning I had the car towed to my mechanic. There were no warning lights to indicate that the car was over heating. My mechanic said that the engine had gotten very hot. There was absolutely no temperature gauges to indicate that it had experienced any issues with temperature. I assume that this may have been happening when the AC was having issues. I think my mechanic said something about a fan not working, this caused the engine to overheat which has caused a new engine to need to be replaced which is over $7000.

The contact owns a 2019 Nissan Rogue Sport. The contact stated while driving approximately 15 MPH a vibration and clanking noise was present coming from the engine compartment and the engine temperature gauge suddenly increased. After stopping the vehicle and examining underneath the hood, the contact discovered steam coming from the radiator and the cooling fan had malfunctioned. The vehicle was later towed to the local dealer who diagnosed that the cooling fan assembly was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 35,000.

I have reported to my dealer (the Marlboro Nissan/MA on [XXX] 2024 XXXPM) the dangerous situation that keeps my Rogue (vin: XXX) at a lower gear (the car cannot go more than 20 MPH... in the highway this is very slow) after standing still in a traffic jam for a while on a hot day (specially after a traffic jam is cleared). I'm concerned this can cause an accident and Nissan is doing nothing to resolve this risky car issue. There is no indication in the dashboard and even though we have reported this problem to the dealer twice, they have done nothing. Nissan should be held accountable for not resolving this design/manufacturing issue. Additional INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

See attached document for complaint

Driving on the highway with nothing in front of me when unexpectedly the emergency braking activated. This has happened twice since buying this vehicle new in 2019

The transmission or something connected/apart of the transmission. When driving the RMP will accelerate or drop acceleration with cruise control on or with foot on gas pedal. It is currently at the dealership being looked at. The check engine light came on when the vehicle accelerated to 4 RMP's. Last year the vehicle would not accelerate over 35 mph the dealership fixed the issue but never really stated what the issue was or why it happened.
