2018 Nissan Rogue Sport

The 2018 Rogue Sport's complaint picture centers on electrical issues, engine problems, and powertrain behavior. On the electrical side, owners report warning lights illuminating unexpectedly and systems behaving erratically without clear cause. Engine complaints are a notable thread, with multiple owners describing overheating events tied to cooling fan failure, in several cases the engine began smoking without prior warning, and at least two reports specifically point to the radiator fan stopping while the vehicle was idling in traffic. Some of those overheating events led to head gasket damage. Powertrain complaints, likely reflecting the CVT, include hesitation after stops and during sustained highway driving, with some owners finding that cycling the ignition temporarily clears the symptom. A smaller number of reports mention the automatic emergency braking system activating unexpectedly, and an isolated report raises questions about airbag deployment in a rear-end collision.
