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.

Radiator fan leading to engine overheating, fan fails to turn on causing high engine temperatures & AC failure. Nissan is aware of issues & takes no responsibility. Early on when vehicle experienced symptoms & under warranty, I brought vehicle in several times & was told they couldn’t find anything wrong. Since warranty has expired, we’ve had to fix once & now it’s happening again. Some symptoms: loud rattling in engine bay, AC blows hot air while idling & low speeds, engine overheating & stalling.

In October of 2025 my car stalled in slow traffic after a 100 mile car ride. After 20 minutes, it started again. The engine code was P0507. Two weeks later, without warning as I was accelerating on the highway the car stopped in the middle lane. This was incredibly dangerous. I had to wait 30 minutes in busy am traffic for a police escort. And the event was costly as I had to pay $200 to be towed off the highway. Once the car arrived at the service center, it started again. The mechanic convinced me to replace the purge solenoid as a starting place to address the problem. The car ran normally from November to March. In March 2026, after almost two hours in stop and go traffic, the car engine stalled out again. We pushed the car to the side of the road and waited 20 minutes. The engine started again. The coolant was below minimum and the computer code was P1217, engine overheat. My mechanic found a faulty cooling fan and replaced it on 3/17/26. This experience of the engine suddenly stopping while the car is moving with no warning or lights on the dash until the stallout has been extremely dangerous and costly. I believe Nissan knows of the cooling fan issue given online forums. Not recalling this faulty part has put me and my children in danger. In Summer 2024, the air conditioner of this car stopped working in traffic. It would blow hot air. The dealership could not replicate the issue and instead charged the air conditioner costing me a lot of money. The air conditioning problem has been intermittent since. I believe this is connected to the defective cooling fan and the Nissan dealership did not do their due diligence to investigate the issue.

To Whom It May Concern, I would like to report that my 2019 Nissan Rogue has experienced premature engine cooling fan malfunction at 78,000 miles resulting in overheating and engine failure. This is a costly repair, and the dealership is quoting over $1,200 to repair. After further investigation and discussion with dealership, this appears to be a common defect and clearly a manufacture. When researching this matter, it appears that this is a commonly reported defect on the federal safety agency website for this specific make and model. I believe that this warrants further investigation by the federal safety agency to protect consumers and in the interest of public safety from Nissans faulty product.

To Whom It May Concern, I am submitting this complaint regarding my 2019 Nissan Rogue Sport, which has developed a significant mechanical issue with the engine cooling fan. My vehicle has fewer than 61,000 miles, yet the cooling fan is failing and requires replacement—an extremely costly repair for a vehicle with relatively low mileage. Through my own research and conversations with other Nissan Rogue and Rogue Sport owners, I have discovered that this is not an isolated incident. Many owners report premature cooling fan failure, often well before 70,000 miles. This suggests a potential manufacturing defect or design flaw that could affect a wide range of vehicles, not just mine. The failure of a cooling fan poses a serious safety risk. If the fan stops working properly, the engine can overheat, leading to sudden breakdowns, potential loss of power while driving, and increased risk of accidents. Additionally, overheating could cause further engine damage, compounding repair costs for consumers. Given the frequency of reported failures and the high cost of repair—often totaling thousands of dollars—I believe this issue warrants an immediate investigation and a potential recall. The root cause should be identified and corrected at the manufacturer level so that consumers are not forced to bear the financial burden for what appears to be a common defect. I respectfully request that the federal safety agency investigate this matter and determine whether a recall should be issued for 2019 Nissan Rogue Sport models and potentially other affected model years.

While idling outside of my house after driving home, I started to see some smoke from the hood of the car. I looked at the temperature gauge and saw that it had risen to the hot side. I turned off the car and went to check outside; I saw some liquid dripping slowly, which was blue color. I made an appointment with Nissan. I came to learn that the engine coolant fan had malfunctioned, causing the vehicle to overheat while idling. I was unable to pay for the part and labor at the time, as it was costly. It is available for inspection upon request. My safety was put at risk because of the overheating engine; while it occurred initially during idling, it also has occurred while I was driving. This issue could cause loss of power, making it difficult to maintain speed and potentially hazardous in traffic. The problem was confirmed at the dealership, though I was initially told there was no issue. When I insisted that there had to be an issue, they re-assessed the vehicle and expressed that there was a code signifying that the engine coolant fan had malfunctioned previously. No warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem were present prior to failure. Only after repeatedly insisting that there was a problem, did the inspector at the dealership double check for codes. This issue seems to be evasive, as it does not present an issue consistently.

Engine Fan is not working. In doing research, I found this to be a common problems amongst this make and model. These fans are very expensive and if it not taken care of the car overheats causing serious engine problems. This should be a recall asap. I am sure that this has been reported enough times now.

The radiator cooling fan and cooling fan assembly failed. I do not have the failed fan available any longer. The cooling fan failed during a heat wave, thankfully I was at a gas station when it failed. Had I not been at a gas station, I would have been stranded in Northern Maine with my [XXX] infant, my elderly mother, and my service dog in excessive heat for hours while waiting for a tow truck. My infant could easily overheat and die in such temperatures. This is a frequent recurring issue in all Nissan Rogue Sports from years 2017 through at least 2022. Forums for Nissan Rogues are filled with complaints of the radiator cooling fan failing (some at 27k miles and often around 67k miles), many complaints occuring in the laat month. Nissan is aware of these issues, many people having the dealership repair the vehicle and others (myself included) complaining to Nissan Corporate itself. The problem has been confirmed by both dealerships and independent service centers. My component was inspected by the service center. I am unsure who else may have inspected others failed fans. There were no warning lights or messages prior to failure. Two days prior to the failure (roughly 48hrs), I had an issue were my AC suddenly stopped working unless the vehicle was in motion, thinking I needed the AC recharged, I made plans to have that done at the next oil change. I now know that this was likely my radiator fan starting to fail. I had no other symptoms of the problem prior to the fan failing completely and nearly overheating my engine.

I purchased a 2019 Nissan Rogue Sport a year ago from Carmax. It is just barely out of the powertrain warranty. The engine failed. I have taken great care of this car and gotten it oil changes, new brakes, rotated the tires. I am absolutely incensed that I need a new engine. This is unacceptable . 7/19/24 -Nissan Rogue started experiencing issue with the Air conditioner. I would drive it and it would work while driving but would stop cooling when parked at a stop light. It was experiencing these AC issues for a few days. Temperatures in Sacramento were over 100 degrees this week. 7/21/24 -I called my mechanic 9:00 am and asked if I could come in the next day for an A/C service. My assumption was that it would need to have the AC recharged. 7/21/24 approx 6:00 pm. I was driving with my two nephews [XXX] and [XXX] old). The car started to decelerate. However, after I took my foot off of the gas it would speed back up. It was very scary. I was trying to navigate my way out of traffic as I was in the middle lane and cars were on the right side of me. The eractic way that it accelerated/decelerated was dangerous and could have resulted in an accident. I was very scared and didn’t know what to do. I was able to get safely off the street and parked the car. The next morning I had the car towed to my mechanic. There were no warning lights to indicate that the car was over heating. My mechanic said that the engine had gotten very hot. There was absolutely no temperature gauges to indicate that it had experienced any issues with temperature. I assume that this may have been happening when the AC was having issues. I think my mechanic said something about a fan not working, this caused the engine to overheat which has caused a new engine to need to be replaced which is over $7000.
