Great SUV.....WHEN NOT IN SHOP EVERY OTHER DAY!
(1/27/22 UPDATE: Living in the Northeast, we get all the wonderful elements. Safety features decided to disable themselves. Took it down to Nissan, and the tech guy said that there is nothing they can do because Nissan developers are (his words) fucking morons for putting the sensors directly underneath the bumper. So when water, mud, snow hit it, it disables. So I said your telling me that I have safety features that are supposed to protect me and my family in the elements, but the elements prevent the safety features from working! And he said "that is exactly what I am telling you".) ORIGINAL POST: I have had my 2021 Nissan Rogue SV Premium Edition for 2 months now. More than half the time it has been in the shop. CVT issues strike again! 2300 miles and the SUV buckles when merging onto the highway, RPMs shoot up to 5-7 when the vehicle is at 15 mph preventing it to accelerate. If it wasn't for the quick instincts of the driver coming at me, I would have been in a horrific accident due to no acceleration coming out of a side street. This vehicle has been nothing but problematic since purchasing, which is really too bad.

CVT malfunction
I just purchased a brand new rogue 7 days ago and yesterday I took it to the freeway to test the propilot and after 5 minutes the warning light was on and said CVT malfunction Service not available. I pulled off to a stop turned off the engine and restart again. The warning light was gone. I got back to the freeway again and turned the autopilot again and about 3 minutes warning light on again. I can't turned it off so had pulled over and stopped the engine and restart again this time the CVT malfunction light was gone but engine check light was on and can't turned it off. I called the dealer and dropped the car off for them to fix it. It was frustrated when you spent over $32k for a brand new car and only last for 120 miles and had to go to the shop. Never experience anything like this before on a new car. Very disappointed, should have gone for a different brand.

Major issue in cold climates
Fell in love and traded in my 2017. This is my third Rogue and after my 2017 i was convinced never again... but I did and now regret! A couple of months ago when it was extreme cold temperatures my 2021 wouldn’t start. Would turn over but engine wouldn’t engage... first time this happened thought it was my fault cause foot slipped off break while pressing the push button start. Waited 15 min, attempted again and it started. A couple weeks later, happened again. Only parked for approximately an hour, this time my foot was firmly on brake and no start! Tried to boost, waited it out and nothing. With only 500 km , I decided to have towed back to dealership! Unacceptable!!! Computer scans and error after error appeared. Now the reports are with the Nissan engineering for review and conclusion for fix. The 2021 rogue has proven to have issues with start when temperatures is -15 C and colder! The reading suggest replace computer but results are still under review. I have issued complaint with NIssan Canada... still waiting for conclusion. Very concerning cause I travel daily in rural communities and winter is 6 months long with daily normal temperatures of -15 for at least 3-4 months. Caution if you live in colder climates!!! Want to give 5 star for the mere beautiful change inside and out, the ride is amazing but the starting issue drops the rating to only 2 stars:(

What is Nissan thinking? No HomeLink? Low Horn?
CONS Major: #1 - I purchased the top of the line package out the door at $42K, and dont get a Homelink? #2 - The horn is LOW. Nobody can hear us. Had to get this replaced. #3 - The shifters have changed where its (R-N-D) instead of (D-N-R). That's right, there are going to be accidents for sure. I thought I could get used to this, but I pause and do a lot thinking before I move the vehicle since my wife and I share 2 vehicles with the shifters backward. Definitely dont understand #1, #2 #3. Engineers must have been drunk when they finalized this. Annoying #4 You will feel the road. Noisy. I guess its a trade off if you want to get more MPG. #5 Tires will skid in heavy rain at 50mph on highway. We were on a 80mph highway, went 50, and started to skid. Car didnt feel sturdy. Had to reduce to 30 mph. This is less performant than my Murano. I will change the tires after a couple of years to top of the line. #6 Very expensive! We paid MSRP and the dealer squeezed us an extra 2K out of us for this stupid dealer package because new cars are in high demand due to chip shortage. Looking back, we should have went to another dealer. But at 42K, this is way over priced for what we are getting. I will say the 0% financing did save us a little. #7 Navigation is incorrect at times, even the MPH, which the adaptive cruise control is based on. Sometimes the adaptive cruise goes too fast or accelerates too fast. Not always accurate, have to pay attention. PROS - Saves a lot of gas, good for local work commute. - Love the new electronics, heads up display, steering assist and all that jazz. It is very nice. I think every automaker top of the line will have these. - Seats pull back when you turn off the engine, lets you get out easier. - Safety features - Size good enough for my family of 4. - Even though twice as expensive as my last car, it was actually $300 a year to insure it. Nice surprise! I guess insurance considers all the extra safety features. WOULD I BUY IT AGAIN? I dont know, but I would have most likely gotten the Mazda CX5 Signature.

Two recalls and malfunctioning software
According to my technician at Summerlin Nissan in Ft. Myers, FL...the possible malfunctions "may be taken care of with the two recalls we have on your vehicle." My reply: What recalls? Antilock breaking software issues was the recall they have allegedly resolved. After 5 hours of sitting in a waiting room. Next issue: Constantly being told I need an oil change. Service light comes on with the little oil can. Its so cute. (Sarcasm). Started when I first had 350 miles on the car. Took it in. It is properly set in the dashboard of the car, but there is something else malfunctioning causing this to again, malfunction. Next issue: Sonar Lane Change Blind Spot Detection shuts off at will. No reason. Next Issue: While sitting in the parking lot of a grocery store, every warning light came on in my car. Tech told me to wipe off the sensor. Um, which sensor and where is it located and why, after just over 1000 miles should I have to be doing this in the first place. Called Nissan USA directly. They told me a whole different story aside from what the service techs and manager told me. They claim to have told them that I refused to leave the vehicle for service. In a manner of speaking. After waiting over 4 hours for what was supposed to have been an appointment, I had no more time and they had no loaner. So, yes, I did refuse, but I have the text trail to prove the actual comments and the photos sent to the techs of all these screw ups. Awaiting to hear from Nissan to see if they are going to buy this piece of tin back from me. My first, and certainly my last Nissan. After one year they were going to pull the engine as even the dealership broke the vehicle whilst in the shop. Traded it. Just over a year old. Back to a Hyundai. Top of the line....if this is as good as it gets, I feel sorry for Nissan.
