The check engine light, thermostat, or sensor affliated with the engine overheating. An engine overheating without warning lights or a dashboard indicator leaves you entirely blind to critical, fast-moving mechanical failures.Without an indicator, you cannot pull over before extreme heat causes severe metal distortion. Yes, the vehicle has been inspected by service department. Three times it has been brought into for.same issue I was sent home with vehicle with the belief it was safe to drive There was no warning lights or sensors or messages prior to the failure.

On April 2, 2026, I was operating my 2019 Nissan Rogue Sport (Mileage: 45,905) at approximately 30 mph when a sudden surge occurred in the engine compartment. Despite depressing the accelerator, the vehicle lost all forward propulsion. I managed to coast through my development and into my garage. Upon arrival, all dashboard warning lights illuminated simultaneously, at which point I immediately deactivated the engine. After exiting the vehicle, I observed a total loss of transmission fluid onto the garage floor. The vehicle was towed to Naples Nissan, where technicians confirmed a catastrophic CVT failure. Prior to this event, the vehicle exhibited no symptoms of mechanical distress—specifically, no "Check Engine" lights, CVT-specific warnings, shuddering, or hesitation—indicating the transmission was functioning properly until the point of total failure.

My 2019 Nissan Rogue sport was having air conditioning trouble for about a week. The air conditioning would only work when the car was moving. My father is a diesel mechanic, although he lives 3 hours away so he had planned to look at my car the up coming weekend. I had gone to grocery store to pick up groceries and on my way home my check engine light came on, my temperature gauge shot up, and my car started hopping forward from engine misfires. I was driving 75 on the interstate when this occurs. If I touched the gas pedal, the car would jump forward and fail to accelerate. I had a semi truck behind me, my two nieces in the back seat, 3 and 5. The semi truck almost hit us because my car went from acting perfectly normal, to not being able to accelerate without engine misfires on the interstate. I only have 92,000 miles on my car. Thankfully I was able to pull off without me and my nieces getting hurt, although I ended up stuck on the interstate w/ two small children in 95 degree hear waiting for my husband to come rescue us. Turns out my radiator fan went out which caused my car to over heat and the engine to misfire. When we tried to restart my car, it wouldn’t turn back on until it cooled down. I am not looking to be reimbursed, I just want to make this issue doesn’t happen to someone else. I have read many many stories of 2017-2019 Nissan rogues that have had the same issue. Thank you.

The part that failed was the cooling fan. According to a litany of Google searches, and from a few dealerships, Nissan has known for years about faulty cooling fans and has done nothing about it. My cooling fan went out last night and sprayed coolant everywhere. Not only did the coolant become gaseous as it burned against the hot engine, this poses a huge safety issue as it can cause a vehicle to stall on the highway and become a safety hazard in the event that other vehicles ram into the stalled vehicle, and vice versa. This problem has been confirmed as an issue by the dealership that I go to and yet Nissan has refused to do anything about it. Prior to the failure, there were no warning lamps or signs, until it actually happened and then the check engine light came on. By then it was too late. This issue can cause problems if someone is driving on the highway and are none the wiser. After doing some research, there were class action lawsuits against a few 2013-2017 models of Nissan vehicles, but not for anything beyond that. Confirmed by the dealer, these issues are well known and could be fixed with a recall. Thankfully, my car was parked at the time of the incident, right before I started on a 45 minute drive back home from where I was at. I live in the Chicagoland area, where traffic tends to be high and had it happened on the highway, it could’ve caused an even bigger issue to those around me.

2019 car has less 88,000 was taking in as engine light on. car had difficulty climbing any elevate, would lose power, had to place in neutral, then back into drive to get it to work. taken to dealer and was told multiple failures of the Transmisson and needs to be replaced. we brought the vehicle with 37,000, so we are 2nd owner and we did change the oil every 3000 to 5000 miles (usually at 3000) driven by a 64 year old gentleman, so was not misused. I transmission should not go out at 88,000 miles. I believe it is a CVT. it is now going to cost $6000 to fix which boils down to an additional 250.00 per month for driving this car for 2 years. We also had to replace the battery in the last 6 weeks
