There is a constant strong fuel odor coming from the car, especially when it is parked inside the garage. It is most noticeable under the front hood as well as inside the cabin. The car has been inspected by the Nissan dealer and they have not found any leaks. They did confirm that this is a known concern, which is under engineering review and the dealership is working with a specialist to address this. They have also informed us the smell is caused by colder temperatures as more fuel needs to be injected than normal and thus causing the strong odor. However, the smell is constant even in worm temperatures. Also, a Nissan engineer has confirmed that this is caused by a design flaw, which only appears on cars with a turbo.

Vehicle smells of strong gas smell in the cab and around the vehicle. Smell is so strong it makes you feel light headed and gives you a headache. This is a huge health concern for me and my family. When parking in the garage it smells so strong that you have to then park it outside so you do not have a fire hazard in the garage. Took it to the dealership to have diagnosed and was told that Nissan is aware of the issue and it is under engineering review but there is nothing they can do at this time. I then reached out to Nissan consumer affairs and they denied a buy back and told me that it is under engineering review but they do not have a fix for it. If they do not have a fix they should buy it back. This is a huge safety and health concern for me and my family.

This is my 2nd 2023 Nissan Rogue. The first one was purchase in October 2022 Around Thanksgiving 2022 we started smelling gas inside the car and outside the car. After the dealer confirmed the smell and told us there was no fix at the time, we left car at dealership and took a loaner, several weeks later the dealer said there is still no fix. We went to dealer and bought another 2023 Nissan Rogue at approximately 800 miles we started smelling the fumes in the cab and outside the vehicle

After about the 3k miles mark, I started noticing a raw gas smell on the interior of the cabin when driving the vehicle. I also notice this gas smell when my vehicle is parked in my garage, with the engine off. I brought it to my local Nissan dealer, and they confirmed that it is a known issue 3 other 2023 Rogue customers have reported to this dealership. They did a visual inspection for leaks, and ran a computer diagnostic but nothing was found. At this point they informed me that corporate Nissan is aware of the issue and until they find the root cause of the problem, and issue a recall there is nothing my dealer can do.

After about two months of driving our 2023 Nissan Rogue SV, a fuel odor emerged from the car. The odor is detected constantly in the car's interior and exterior. The fuel odor is so intense that we are concerned about the safety of parking the vehicle in our garage; we must park it outside. Due to the intensity of the fuel odor, we have purchased a fire extinguisher, as we are afraid of a car fire in the event of an accident/collision. Additionally, we are very concerned about our exposure to the gas fumes, and the health risk it may be causing. The dealership we bought the vehicle from evaluated the car, and informed us that the issue was that gas was sprayed accidentally on the hood liner during production. The dealership replaced the hood liner; however, upon returning the vehicle home the same day, the fuel odor persisted with the same intensity, and it did not fix the problem. The problem occurs after driving the vehicle, and the technician, who did the repair, must not have driven the vehicle.

- Flushing, MI, USA
When driving vehicle cabin will fill with a fuel odor which can make you nauseous. In order to prevent the vents need to be on recirculat which in turn fog up all the windows in the winter time. Also when vehicle is parked in garage it fills the garage with an extremely strong fuel odor. Has been to the dealer 3 times, 2 times they couldn't reproduce and the 3rd time they can't find the problem. Nissan is aware and has it under "engineering review" with multiple claims from other owners.
