    I bought my 2016 Rogue SL in 2019 with 32,000 miles on

    I bought my 2016 Rogue SL in 2019 with 32,000 miles on it. It is now 2025 and it has 223,000 miles on it, and I still drive her daily with no issues. I have had to replace the car battery once and the fob battery twice. I also had to replace the front wheel bearings about 2 years ago. That is it! No check engine lights no engine or transmission issues, no sun roof leaks. Everything she started with still functions as well as the day i got her. This has been the best, most reliable incredible car i could have every asked for. I can not speak highly enough of the Rogue and am currently looking at getting another one and saving what is left of this one for my daughter.

    2016 Rogue transmission can shift itself into neutral

    2016 Rogue transmission can shift itself into neutral while driving; powers down all the gears! No power, we had to coast to a stop thru traffic. We could have been killed, but for the Grace of God!

    I bought a 2016 SL used in 2017 from the dealer.

    I bought a 2016 SL used in 2017 from the dealer. It has a lot of great features. The SL model rides and handles a lot better then lower models. Good inside room for passengers and storage. Pretty good gas mileage and pickup for the size. No CVT issues so far that I've heard of. Suggest you pay attention to CVT maintenance as it requires more service than your standard geared transmission. I got that from a 2015 Juke I still own. Renewed maintenance resolved the dreaded CVT "stumble".

    What kind of poorly designed lemon allows a back seat

    What kind of poorly designed lemon allows a back seat passenger to kick a water bottle under the front passenger seat, thus DISABLING THE AIRBAG! This is by far the most distressing part of this low end SUV for me. The noise, the shimmies, the lack of comfort, the cheapness, is all trumped by a faulty airbag system that WILL kill someone in time!

    Replaced the drivers door window system 5/2023 when it

    Replaced the drivers door window system 5/2023 when it failed, now in 2024 THE SAME ISSUE. This time they claim it's deeper into the wire harness. They also announced a related recall (wire corrosion) but they eliminated my recall repair over car milage. Sketchy at best, it's a safety issue that has a fire risk, small as that may be but it relates to the device failure as well. That's not standing up for the vehicle repair or the underlying known related recall issue. It's quoted for another $1000 needed over last year's $500 repair for the same net problem.

    The Best Car I Have Ever Owned, 2016 Rogue SL

    I bought my 2016 Rogue SL in 2016 and it is now 2024. I have to say it is one of the best cars I have ever owned, I only have 58,000 miles on it going into my 8th year of ownership. I did not get the moonroof as that was not a problem I wanted, but I did get the SL with the Red exterior and Almond interior (all leather). It has hands free talking and texting, lots of whistle and bells, it beeps when backing up if there is a car or person behind you, and the excellent stereo system for just a few of the SL features. I did not have the blind spot monitor( I wish I did) or the adaptive cruise control, other than that I have every other option. The best gas mileage I got was 36mpg on the highway, and I could drive from Atlanta to Mobile on one tank of guess which is awesome. I have taken very good care of the car with a regular maintained schedule with all the records in the glove box and I have never had one problem with this car at all. The smooth ride had sold me over and I also have a KIA Sorento of the same year, and it rides like a freight train compared to the rogue. Maybe I just got lucky, and got a great car, but everyone I talk to that has a Rogue all seem to love theirs as well as I do mine. I can only hope the newer models are as reliable as my 2016, as I plan on driving it until it can no longer go or I wear out before it does. This is just my honest opinion; I am no car salesman or have any stock or reason to brag on my Nissan Rogue, other than it has been a great ride these last going on 8 years.

    Transmission Issues!!!

    The transmission has been slipping since 80,000 miles. Recently had an issue where after sitting at a red light the car would not shift out of first gear. The Rouge takes off VERY slowly and if I try to give it some gas the car struggles to shift between first and second gear.
