Rogue 3-cyl

  • miles
My 4.5 month old Rogue, with a little over 3000 miles on it, stopped dead from at 55 mph on a highway at night. The battery started but the engine would not engage or start. At the start of the drive the fuel gauge registered about 1/2 tank, but after driving only a relatively short distance, it suddenly went to just above the 'red warning zone' and showed about 157 driving miles left in the tank. I believe that the tank was actually empty and the gauge was faulty, because on a hunch the tow guy added some gas and the car started! I was in danger because I was stranded in the left lane of a highway at night and even with my hazard lights on, cars were barely missing me. One could easily have rammed into me - especially waiting over 2 hours for a tow with my hazars starting to dim - causing injury or even death. The dealer service dept was not able to spot the problem (or reproduce it), and because the computer did not show a code said they had nothing to repair! Upon picking up the car and refilling the tank, the gauge only registered 1/2 a tank, so I scheduled service to replace the fuel gauge. I hope this is the proper fix, but the service dept can't vouch for that. When it went dead, the dash said "engine malfunction". I am terrified of driving this car at night or on a highway!!

Strong odor of gas both inside and outside the vehicle. Vehicle was taken to dealership for warranty repair and dealership stated there is a known issue with the 2023 Rogue however Nissan does not know what the issue is or how to fix it but they are working on a fix. Over one month later and multiple conversations with consumer affairs they are refusing to fix or replace the car. There are health concerns as we drive a lot and experience headaches and dizziness from the smell as well as the safety concerns as they have no idea what is causing the odor and gasoline is highly flammable. ***Note on the 2nd visit to dealership they were able to duplicate the odor.

The 2023 Nissan Rogue which we bought in January 2923 smells of exhaust inside the car while running. We have experienced it when the car was just being started up after being parked and also while driving. It is off and on and hard to replicate for dealer. The exhaust smell is so strong that windows have to be opened and it is still nauseating. The garage smells of gasoline sometimes when the car is parked and off. This is also off and on. We bought this car for college age student to drive and are concerned about health issues from breathing in the exhaust as well as fire concerns.

I am the owner of a 2023 Nissan Rogue with 3,500 miles on it. During the last few weeks I have noticed a strong smell of raw gas entering the passenger compartment while driving. It happens with or without the HVAC system working. Sometimes it is stronger than other times. I have opened up the hood and have found no visible leaks. There are also no leaks under the vehicle. I have researched this issue on the internet and have found several sites with similar complaints. There also appears to be a new class-action lawsuit being reviewed about this issue. Many consumers have brought their vehicles into the dealers for this issue with no results. It appears that the situation is under review by NIssan. I urge the NHTSA to look into this matter due to the safety risk to consumers. Thank you

I purchased my 2023 Nissan Rogue SV in Oct of 2022. After a few weeks of parking in the garage I noticed the smell of raw gas in my garage. At about 1000 miles I noticed the smell of raw gas while driving slowly through the neighborhood and while stopped at stop signs and traffic lights. I brought the car back to the Nissan dealership where I purchased it from and explained I was smelling raw gas. The dealership told me there was a break in period and after about 5000 miles I should notice improved gas mileage and the quote "weird" smells should go away. I now have 7,200 miles on the car and the raw gas smell is far worse to the point of causing me headaches and nausea. I cannot park in the garage anymore because it makes even my house smell of gas. I now fear of explosion from gas fumes. I would trade the vehicle for something safer but at this time can not afford to do so.

There is a strong smell of gasoline inside the vehicle when driving. There is also the smell of gas coming from the engine when the vehicle is parked in a garage. The dealer stated this is a known problem with the 2023 Rogue but there is no fix to the problem. They just state Nissan is aware of the problem. The smell causes headaches while driving and the fear is it is a fire hazard.

For months now, inside the cabin and outside of the car smell like raw fuel. I have taken it to Nissan and they were unable to find anything wrong. There are times I have to roll down the window because the smell is so strong. This is an almost everyday occurrence.

After driving the car and parking it in the garage we notice a "raw gasoline" smell. If we are driving and idle at a stop sign the heater (heating the interior) picks up the gasoline smell and the fumes come inside the car. We have to open the windows to air it out once moving. The problem appears to be getting worse, meaning the smell is getting stronger. We have contacted Nissan and they gave me a case number #48234302, but no progress. The dealer says Nissan is working on the issue, but there is no fix. I have call both Nissan and the dealer since 1-18-2023, but for the most part no one will respond anymore. We find the smell a health concern.

Fuel smell in garage on a regular basis. No gasoline or gas powered equipment is stored in the garage. The gasoline smell is noticeable when vehicle is warm after driving. Smell was first noticed soon after purchase of vehicle. We didn't really worry about it at first. But it continues to persist. Dealership is blaming it on spillage from gas pumps. The vehicle is currently at half tank, no noticeable smell from filler area. Smell is not noticeable when vehicle is cold. Gasoline odors are dangerous and possibly explosive. No warning lamps are visible or any symptoms shown by vehicle. Vehicle is being taken to dealership on 3/4/23 to be checked out.

Fuel smell continues from engine compartment. Specifically after parked in garage and it is localized to the windshield gutter on drivers side. Started 2-3 months ago. Was reported to Nissan who state that it is under engineering review and there is no fix at this time When heater turned on, fuel smell gets into cabin. Concern for health exposure to fumes as well as potential fire hazard. Check engine warning light does not come on. Only 3000 miles on the car. Bought in September 2022.

The new Nissan Rogue I just bought has gasoline smell that comes into the cabin from the Engine compartment when driving at low speeds. I took the car to the dealer where I was told that Nissan was aware of the gas smell and are looking into a fix. I also called Nissan Corp. and was told that they are aware of the problem and that the gas fumes are not a danger. Also I was told that this is happening to some of the late 2022's and the 2023's. Nissan needs to get this problem fixed ASAP. This Is a safety and a health issue. Please Investigate. Thanks

After 3000 miles on my car I noticed a gasoline smell in my garage after driving it. Now I have 5000 miles and the gasoline smell is so strong I have to park it outside my garage since my garage is attached to my house and the smell enters my house and makes me feel nauseous and gives me a headache. I have made an appointment with 2 Nissan dealers who state it is a known problem but there is nothing they can do about it at this time and are waiting to hear from Nissan. There are no warning lights on in my car.

Known issue, fuel smell inside cabin after initial start up and after parking in garage. Fuel/exhaust smells are persistent while initially driving off as well, significant safety risk as we are not certain where this is emanating (or originating) from. This is a health hazard and could potentially lead to engine fire, etc.
