I have a 2014 Nissan rogue sl with 213,000 miles and I didn’t have any problem at all. I just kept up with the maintenance that I needed to do. My vehicle was great absolutely no issues at all.

I have a 2018 Rogue SV AWD with 186K miles. Original owner, oil change 5-6K miles, CVT fluid every 40K. Already replaced the alternator and belt. Already replaced struts, shock, all rotors and LCA at 150K. Replaced spark plugs and coolant at 110K. I always use OEM Brake Pads when servicing my brakes. One of my tailgate struts went out and replaced with a cheap one from Amazon, learned a lesson not to go cheap on this one, ended up spending $400 for the OEM. I am already on my 3rd battery and 4th set of tires. I drive my Rogue like a sports car always using the Sport Mode or the Manual Shift, this motor likes to be on the high end and its responds well even with a CVT. Current issue is that my Fuel Temp Sensor that is attached to my Fuel Pump went out so I have a CEL on and the driver side subframe bushing has now failed so I am getting that noise from time to time whenever I am hitting a dip and on a turn. I will be replacing my transfer case and diff fluid which is way overdue on my next oil change. My Rogue has or is serving me well, I would not categorize it as bad car, I think it just comes down to maintenance.

Going to disagree here. We are on our second Xtrail ( Rogue ) here in Australia and out of 500,000kms of driving we have only had one issue between both cars and that’s the cruise control just stopped.

Nissan may have made money but really hurt the buyer. Some ppl are very lucky. I would not want this car for free.

I’ve had my 2018 Nissan Rogue SV for 7 years. It had 18k miles when purchased. It now has 215k miles. I’m a sales rep for a medical company and I haven’t had any major issues with my rogue. She’s still chucking along. lol. Fingers crossed we’ll make it way past 300k! Routine oil changes, tires, and new spark plugs. 🙏🏽❤️

I guess my 2014 Rogue has been a unicorn. Bought it new in December 2013 and now have 211K miles, everything is original. Around 170K the dealer advised me I should replace lower control arms but a friend with a shop looked at it and said they were ok. At 210K my engine light came on and it's the catalytic converter. I had the transmission serviced at 30,60,90, 140, and 190K miles and is doing fine. The Cat is going to be $1500 to replace and will need brakes and tires in another 3-6 months so I will probably let it go soon to avoid putting 2500-3000 in this car and put it towards the next. My 2014 Nissan Rogue has been the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned.

Your not "what to buy" but "what to fix" approach is refreshing. We know the 2 brands that do everthing right, but either not present or extra expensive at the dealerships, you go over the affordable set. Auto mechanics are an important part of life.

My wife’s rogue is a 2017 with 93000 miles right now and we have had 0 problems with it. Would I recommend it to anyone absolutely yes 100% it has been reliable like I said with zero problems.

We had a 2014 Nissan Rogue with the 2.5L engine as well. It was the previous body style, not the one in this video. At 68,000 miles I had to change the lower control arms, strut assemblies, and outer tie rods. At 72,000 miles I had to change the passenger side cv axle because the inner joint started to fail. Right after that the transmission started going and we traded it off for a 2015 Toyota Highlander. That was a great decision because the Highlander is a much better vehicle.

honestly just sounds that aside from the transmission (which is horrible) everything else just comes down to the quality of parts and keeping up with maintenance. like you said i still wouldn't put my daughter in this, but if you already have one, you better make sure you keep up with the maintenance.

You nailed it. I had 4 out of 5 things you mentioned on 2009 Rogue

Alex I love your channel, it is the 1st ever that I have subscribed to, good to know there are honest and competent mechanics like you as a 43 year veteran with my own shop the big problem is finding good help, it is almost impossible seems like you can get a guy that can do a few things but to find the guy that can handle what ever drives in is real hard

I have a 2018 Nissan rogue and I have had great success with it. I maintenance the vehicle as I should (oil, filter, air filter, cabin filter, transmission, transcase and rear differential.) I have changed spark plugs, put new breaks/rotors on too. The only problem I have had so far is the alternator and I went ahead and replaced it and put a new battery in as well. I am at 124,000 miles and still going good. Thanks for pointing out other issues, I will keep an eye on them. Would you please discuss other possible problems with a Rogue so I can keep it up. Thanks 😊

The mechanic’s stethoscope killed me. 🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥

True talk! I have a 2018 Rogue with 194K on it...and it's still going strong. I have kept up with the oil change and transmission fluid flush...and that's all I do. I bought it 3yrs ago with 42K miles on it. Yes, I had a oil leak at 16oK miles that cost around $900 to fix and had to change the alternator around 180K miles (which is not too bad at that mileage). Other than this, it has been a great vehicle, great on gas, and otherwise low maintenance. I didn't mind spending the money when it needed attention because the car pays for itself...I've made an average of 70K a year in the last 3 yrs driving the same car for Uber. My point is, if you find a good one with good maintenance history, you buy it and follow the Nissan recommended service schedule, you will be happy😅

Although I own the same car and I love it I can't argue with this video everything he saying is true the parts are just not made to last long. I haven't had any Issue with my Rogue but rest assure I'll take your advise seriously!!!! I'll service the transmission fluid when the time comes.

love that control arm dry rot close up. Thank you!

I been waiting for a video on this yessssss 🎉

I have a 2016 rogue with 303,000 km. Only changed brake pads and 1 set of tires. I use highest quality synthetic and keep an eye on all fluids. Never had an issue. On extremely hot days when accelerating from a standstill. Pushing the accelerator down a bit wont make the vehicle to ahead right away, maybe 1.5 seconds later it will. Strange but I always just push it a bit if it happens and let the transmission finally engage. All other times it's great. I drive very gently all my life. If my trans goes, I may just replace it, the rest of the vehicle is perfectly fine. I'd rather buy Toyota, my wife picked the Nissan, I told her that I'd rather pick a Rav 4 but I told her she can choose, so she did and now she said I was right... we'll go Toyota from now on, no questions asked ! I still get amazing gas mileage! I've always gotten way better mileage on all my cars than the manufacturer says i should get.

Great video. I noticed control arm rot is usually a north out cold weather area issue due to salting of the roads
