2017 Nissan Rogue Sport: engine overheating

Filed Dec 31, 2025 · Engine · PA

Vehicle has plume of blue smoke each time it turns on, burning oil. Was informed by mechanic that it is a bad piston ring, which is common with this vehicle’s engine. It will eat through a full engine of oil in two months. 4K-10k fix. Car has 71k miles on it; under 10k miles put on it a year. Gets regular oil changes based on typical recommendation for a low mileage vehicle. Oil is checked regularly. This is in addition to a bad intake fan that needed replacing and cost 1.5k that others have been complaining of where the car would severely overheat.

I reported to my dealer that my 2017 rogue sport has been overheating and they stated that they were aware of an issue with the radiator fan. The car will be fine while driving, but if idle or in stop and go traffic, the engine will overheat. I am unable to use my car without fearing for it, shaking and overheating during warm weather if I am not constantly driving.

A/C Dual Compressor fan went out - causing the car to overheat. Nissan Rogue Sport 2017 with 52K miles. Apparently this is a known issue that many Nissan Rogue users experience with the fan breaking on low mileage vehicles.

Rogue Sport 2017, 52K miles: The A/C was not blowing and I took it into Firestone where they said it was a weak air compressor (this shouldn't be the case on a low mileage car). A week later the hood started smoking and upon inspection the coolant level was 1/4 tank and the engine malfunction light was on. I took it to and independent service center, Bass Auto (Nolensville Road, Nashville TN) and they said it was NOT SAFE to drive (engine can overheat and catch fire) due to a Radiator Coolant Fan (part # 214816MA0B or 214816MA0A) and that they have had to fix many of the these. The fan is responsible for blowing the cold air from the AC and keeping the engine cool so poses risk of engine failure. Looking at Reddit and facebook groups there are many people that have this issue on low mileage Rogue/Rogue Sports (Years 2017 - 2020) and there is a class action lawsuit that was filed in the State of Tennessee for this issue (XXX et al vs. Nissan - link below). I am having to spend > $1K to repair and this is a common issue that is unsafe and not recalled.

My car overheated. when I took it to my mechanic, he let me know my cooling fan assembly needs to be replaced, there is not a single cooling fan assembly for a 2017 Nissan rogue sport SL available in the continental US. Nissan has no idea when they will have the part available again, and neither do any of the aftermarket vendors such as AutoZone. This leads me to think that every single rogue in the country has had a problem with the cooling fan. I understand supply chain issues, but this is ridiculous.

My car had less the 30,000 mi on it. It 28,700mi at the time of incident. I bought it brand new in 2018. So this year my warranty expired in April 2021. In June my cooling fan went out and I had no a/c plus the car was not drivable due to it overheating. I’m in Idaho we were have 100-110 degree days here. I had no car for a month and a half because I was told that they don’t make the cooling fans anymore and the dealership couldn’t get ahold of one for that period of time. Meanwhile I lost my job we don’t have busses and I couldn’t get rides or afford ubers/ taxis everyday several times a day. It was awful. I know this issue has to be known to Nissan. Shouldn’t there have been a safety recall by now?!? Also at the exact same time as the cooling fan went out the fuel pump went out too! Now mind you this car was brand new is three years old with less then 30,000mi on it. So the warranty had expired three months prior they can’t get the part to replace it for 1 1/2months so I have no car during that time loose my job and have to foot the bill for replacing both the cooling fan and the fuel pump. Okay I believe this make, model, and year NEEDS to have a mandatory safety recall ASAP. For goodness sake look at how many people have had to replace their cooling fans on their car! That’s not OKAY. I Demand that something be done to fix this BEFORE someone’s car catches fire and someone ends up dying!

Starting around 26,000 miles, this new to us SUV started to glitch in the electronics. The air will turn hot, the radio will turn off, then the air bag lights flicker, then it states that the vehicle is overheating(every physical examination indicates it is not). You can turn the vehicle off and one time it won't glitch and the next time it will. If you leave the vehicle running for too long, it behins to glitch more and more. To the point where if we were to drive a long distance I am afraid it could turn the vehicle off while driving. We are trying to get a service center to duplicate. If you have this year model and notice your air feel a bit warm and radio go in and out, watch your heat gage, that is how it starts to mess up.

My car A/C started to run hot air, so I purchased the rechargeable A/C pro. My boyfriend and I figured out that wasn't the issue. So I continued to use the A/C byt it would run cold while I was in motion but if I was stopped at a light hot air would come out. Now the car started overheating if I would use the A/C. Meanwhile I has just taken the car to the nissan dealership for an oil change a week prior to that. So I stopped using the A/C, but now the car would overheat if I drove for more than an hour. I took it to the mechanic and I was told that the cooling fan was broken and would not come on. When he replaced the fan with a fan from the nissan dealer he started that the one he had removed was loose.

My vehicle would be working and running fine for a little bit but after driving it for a while, my A/C would stop blowing cool air. It would be blowing cool air at first and then start blowing hot air and then my car would start to overheat afterwards. I mostly have this problem when my car is stopped for a while or not going above 40 MPH. I went to the nissan dealership to get it checked out and they said the problem was the cooling fan. My car is practically brand new. I bought it brand new in february of 2018. In order to get the cooling fan for my car, I have to wait 2-3 weeks for it to come in because they don't even have it. I went to a mechanic in my city and there was a guy with the same year, make and model car as mine and he had the exact same problem as I did. It turns out that he went to the dealership as well and bought the last cooling fan from them there's no way that this person can coincidentally have the same exact car with the same exact problem in the same exact city. Therefore I'm filing this complaint because I'm obviously not the only one having this issue. My car running and working is a necessity for me for I have kids and have to go to work so I'm hoping this issue can be resolved as soon as possible. Thank you.
