After driving my 2023 Nissan Rogue for approximately 1.5 months (1700 miles) I started smelling a gas odor inside the cabin while driving and while parked. The smell is causing my eyes and throat to burn and occasional nausea. While parked in my garage the smell becomes so overwhelming that I must remove the vehicle from the garage to "air out" for a few hours. Since I have an attached garage the smell is also permeating the house. My husband checked the oil dipstick and found it to have a very strong gasoline odor. I have taken the vehicle to the dealer. I was told the smell is normal since this is a new turbo engine, it should be expected. I have contacted Nissan corporate regarding a fix or buyback and was told that I do not qualify. I have concerns regarding my health due to long term exposure to VOCs. I have safety concerns related to VOCs accumulating in my garage. I have mechanical concerns do to the inadequate venting of gasoline and gasoline in my oil. Will this cause the engine and other parts to fail?

My daughter and I we leaving Walmart in Mulberry, FL. We has been there a few hours starting at 10:15 am. We got our nails done and then shopped for a little while. When I got in the car I let it run for about 10 minutes and then left. It was not too hot in the car when we left. We drove less than a mile and we stopped at the light in front of the 7-11 turning onto Shepherd Road. We just missed green light so sat for a couple of minutes. We were joking about spending almost 4 hours at the store. All the sudden it sounds like a bomb went off. We had no idea what happened and as I looked the back window blew out. We waited for light and pulled into Walgreens. The car behind me also followed me in. He asked if we were okay. He said all the sudden glass was hitting his hood. He said nothing hit the car and he had never seen anything like it! I called the dealership and they told me it was an emergency and to come straight over. We headed over and now they are saying they have to talk to corporate. They have never seen this before (not according to internet) and it-??s probably going to be my issue. https://www.nissanforums.com/threads/nissan-window-exploded.275392/page-2#post-1739123

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS MY NISSAN ROGUE WHILE IN THE IDLING/PARK POSITION WILL GET A BAD GAS FUME SMELL INSIDE THE VEHICLE. I DID CALL FERRARIO NISSAN IN SAYRE PA AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE SITUATION. THE SERVICE DEPT, PERSONELL TOLD ME THAT IF ITS NOT A CONSTANT SMELL THAT THEY CANNOT REALLY DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THEY TOLD ME TO STOP IN WHEN IT HAPPENS, BUT USUALLY IN JUST A FEW MINUTES WHEN PUTTING IT BACK IN THE DRIVE POSITION THE SMELL WILL GO AWAY. THIS SCARES ME THAT THE ROUGUE MIGHT CATCH ON FIRE OR THE SMELL MAY CAUSE HARM TO ME OR MY GRANDCHILDREN BY BREATHING IT IN. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS, THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

There is a strong odor of gasoline in the cabin of the vehicle when driving. The gasoline smell is also strong in the front of the car. I cannot park the vehicle in the garage due to the smell. I am afraid of a fire. I contacted Nissan who said they were aware of this issue and said they were investigating, but have no solution. Even though they have been aware of this issue since the 2022 model came out and never contacted me and continued selling the vehicle. I took the car to Mankato Nissan for inspection who verified the odor but said they could not find anything and had no solution.

The vehicle has a very poor low volume horn. Three times I was on a freeway and attempted to blow the horn to warn the driver next to me because they moved into my driving lane and if I did not put on my brakes, it would have caused an accident. The other driver never heard the horn, as compared to my other vehicle I own and other vehicles I owned in the past this horn's sound is like a horn on a child's toy.

we were driving west on i26 in nc, when the engine failure light came on, the car bucked and would not go. pulled off road, car did power up but would not go. if this had happened 6 miles later we would have been in constuction with cement barriers on both sides and unable to pull over. semi trucks were going 70 miles an hr and unable to stop. we, along with many other people would have been killed. car was towed to nissan dealership in hendersonville nc. the faulty part was the throttle body in my 2023 nissan rogue with 1400 miles on it. the head mechanic said they just fixed an identical car with same mileage 2 hrs earlier with same problem. also he said they have done this several times before. its been a week now and my car stills sits there because they are unable to find the part. My assumption is they cant get the part because so many cars have failed. now they need to put the same flawed part back on my car to fix it. i am scared to death to drive it. please recall this vehicle asap before many people are killed or hurt. thanks, trying to prevent deaths, injuries and pain

The smell of gas fumes was inside and outside of the car. I took a CO2 blood test and the CO2 levels came back high. The dealership said a recall was coming out soon. The vehicle supposedly was looked over by the dealership service manager. This began shortly after I bought the vehicle. Didn-??t know it was an issue until I saw a lawsuit against the company regarding this matter.

When parked and off, or sitting in idle a major smell of gasoline is spewing out of the hvac system in the car. It makes me nauseous and major headaches. This can-??t be safe to drive. This has always been an issue. I-??ve only owned the vehicle since December.

Strong smell of raw gasoline coming from the front of the vehicle after driving and while driving. If parked in garage entire garage has strong odor that penetrates into attached house. Very hazardous to health and emissions.

The cabin of the vehicle fills with a gasoline odor when driven. When I park the vehicle in the garage (with engine OFF), the garage fills with a gasoline odor. I have experienced nausea and headaches with the smell. My oldest child has complained about the smell and making his head hurt. It is very concerning that my ATTACHED garage fills with gasoline odor and could continue into my residence. I am now forced to park my vehicle outside and can not have my two children in the vehicle. I took the vehicle back to the dealership and they initially claimed it was an O Ring around the gasoline tank. They replaced it and the issue still continued. They then advised that Nissan is aware of this issue but does not have a fix at this time. There are cases around the country with this issue. I am now using a loaner vehicle from the dealership until Nissan finds a fix. There is approximately 5,300 miles on the vehicle. There are no warning messages on the dash. This problem started at the beginning of January.

When I park my 2023 Nissan Rogue in the garage, the garage fills with a strong gas smell. This happens about 50% of the time. There are no performance issues or warning lights involved. I took it to the dealership for assessment yesterday. They did not find evidence of a leak. They said Nissan is aware of this and is investigating and that there is no danger at this time. I believe this does create a health and safety risk to myself and my family and possibly to my home. They also reported that Nissan suggests this issue could be due to winterized gas. This response does not indicate that Nissan accepts responsibility or cares to solve this problem.

The smell of gas is so strong inside and outside of the cabin of the vehicle, that it is causing health issues. Nissan told me to put the car on air circulation as a temporary fix, but it is not working. My entire body is shaky and I-??m suffering from migraines and nausea.
