Used Nissan Rogue — common problems and service

The 2019-2020 Rogue's Jatco CVT often shudders or hesitates at 20-40 mph, typically between 30,000 and 80,000 miles, and can set diagnostic codes such as P17F0/P17F1. Owners also report slipping, loss of power, and occasional no-forward-motion, which can make merging and accelerating unsafe. If not covered by Nissan's extended CVT warranty, dealer replacement commonly costs $4,000-$5,500.

Yes, 2019-2020 Rogues have documented fuel-pump failures that can cause intermittent power loss, engine stall without warning, extended cranking, or a no-start condition. Check the VIN against NHTSA recall records and confirm any recall repair was completed, because an unexpected stall in traffic creates a crash risk. Out-of-pocket independent replacement is commonly $600-$1,200, though recall repairs are free.

The power liftgate actuator/motor on 2021-2023 Rogues can stop mid-cycle, chirp repeatedly, or fail to open or close, sometimes leaving the gate stuck and blocking cargo access. Operate the liftgate several times, including after heat or cold exposure, and listen for grinding or mid-cycle stops before buying. Failed actuators usually require replacement of the liftgate motor/actuator assembly; no reliable national repair cost is available, so get a written dealer quote.
