Complaints per year on the road: 55.6
Verbatim reports filed with the United States safety regulator (NHTSA) by owners of this exact model year. Public record.
Check engine light code detected fuel leak. Fuel could be smelled outside of car when operated or parked. Took car to Nissan to inspect fuel leak. Fuel pump had to be replaced due to a leak per Nissan technician. There is a recall on 2021 Nissan Rogues due fuel leak. My 2021 Nissan Rogue was not covered in the recall because of my VIN.
The cameras do not work. I have the beeping sound when I am in reverse but no camera view at all. Even when I am in park and hit the camera button nothing appears. I have done a soft and hard reset and that did not work.
I was driving on I25 south towards Albuquerque. I was changing lanes and another vehicle slammed into me causing me to crash into the guard rail. I was going 75 miles per hour at the time and my air bags did not deploy and my vehicle is very likely totaled. Due to airbags not deploying my head hit the steering wheel and window many times. The vehicle is available for inspection if requested.
