2012 Nissan Rogue

The 2012 Nissan Rogue draws its heaviest complaint volume from the powertrain, which accounts for well over a third of all reports filed for this model year. Owners most commonly describe CVT-related problems, hesitation, shuddering, and sudden loss of power or acceleration, often while the vehicle is in motion. A recurring pattern involves the transmission failing to respond normally or the engine stalling unexpectedly during driving. Vehicle speed control complaints, largely tied to the same drivetrain behavior, describe instances where the engine revs climb but the car doesn't accelerate when cruise control is active. Airbag-related reports make up the second-named system by volume, though the powertrain complaints outnumber them by a wide margin. A smaller number of owners also describe subframe deterioration at relatively low mileage, and isolated reports mention door locks cycling on their own or failing to operate.
