Well done, this was interesting and thorough. If I ever see 1 of these with yellow brake calipers, slammed, and cambered out, I will assume that 1 of your loyal viewers was inspired. And this slammed and cambered Rogue might also have a time bomb eBay turbo shoved onto the backside of the engine.
Dealer tech here, so I have a few says on this. 1) Thank you for a very detailed review 2) Transfer case seal oil leak is pretty common on this T33 generation, I believe it's due to improper installation. We have a bulletin for it. 3) These stake castle nuts are not fun to remove. If not being careful, you could damage the CV axle thread and will need to replace new CV axle. Nissan OEM CV axles are quite expensive. I actually prefer the cotter pin castle nut better. 4) We see less CVT problems than before (still, but less), so I believe Jatco made some improvements on their CVTs. 5) The older CVTs that use CVT fluid NS-2, have transmission dipstick. For the newer CVTs that use NS-3, there is no more transmission dipstick. There is still a tube with a "fake" dipstick so you can fill up CVT fluid from the top, but using a scanner to measure fluid temperature while draining overflowing fluid is the correct way to measure fluid level. According to Nissan, this way of measurement is more accurate than the traditional way with a dipstick. It seems to be common among manufacturers (Toyota does the same thing with their AT). 6) Nissan has been using one-piece style lower control arm for years, so either bushing cracks or ball joint gets loose, the whole control arm needs to be replaced. 6) The 3-cyl turbo engine has a plastic engine oil pan (why Nissan??)
Nissan burned me bad a 2016 Maxima and a 2015 Murano. The Murano puked all its fluid out at 900 miles. From the factory someone used what looked like plier teeth to install the line from the Jatco to the radiator. It split and the dealer made me pay 450 for just a refill. With 950 miles, they said it was rodent damage. My Maxima made it to 90k and hail (luckily) took that car out. As the CVT was on its way out. The Murano I limped 1800 miles for a vacation to California and back to Colorado. Thankfully when it starting bucking at 52k we traded for a 4Runner (new). So now we have 2 new 4Runners, and I will never buy another Nissan. 😂
This is after Having a 2004 Titan, a 2005 Frontier, a 2005 maxima, a 2006 Altima, 2007 Titan, 2011 Titan, 2011 370Z (loved it) and the 2016 Maxima, and 2015 Murano. So I was a loyal Nissan buyer.
Hey maybe you know if in the latest 2023 turbo only models, if the CVT is still made by Jatco? Have they made improvement. I am curious about a Rogue. If Nissan would just split from Renault, find some great engineers, and start their own. Their last CEO cheaped out it seems, and now this is all happening.
@@pnutbuttajellee1394 I do believe that the new generation Rogue's CVT is still made by Jatco. Like I said, we see less and less CVT problems than before, so I assume Jatco did some improvements on their CVTs. Time will tell if the newer gen is getting better or not.
On electrical side of this car the mess is not smaller: you can have wires which leave front side, go to back to be connected there and literally go back to front to be hooked to some modules. You may find some modules placed next to trunk which don't have any sensors and which are connected to BCM, ECM located in front. Nice engineering, Nissan !
Fantastic and honest review ! I respect that you tell the truth! Please keep them coming. If you can review a honda element if you can find one that still has the rear control arm attached, lol
We have used these models at my work for four years now. This is the first year they had a 3 cylinder turbo engine. The go kart style transmissions get you good gas mileage. I got 44 mpg driving from Atlanta to Griffin GA last night, primarily on the main highways. Good gas mileage. We fold down the rear seats. The covers pop off on the backs of the seats with our high impact use. An ordinary driver might never have the issue with the rear seat 💺 covering coming off, but overall, they are cheaply made. The stereo is fine, has android and apple CarPlay. The cars engines and drivetrains have basically changed almost every year, but the body style is the same as almost ten years ago with minor changes. If you can get a deal on a new one, I’d say they hold up to normal usage. We did have one with an engine that failed on the first day using it. It was an engine out/swap to get it fixed. Like I said if you can get one for less than a Mazda, Toyota or Honda of similar size and build you may want to take a chance. Buyer beware, they are cheap, but reasonably durable. I’ve never had a Honda engine fail. My best friend buys only Toyota, and my third friend has a Rogue. She doesn’t know anything about cars and always buys the worst cars. I’d buy any car beside the ones she picks out. Hope it helps if you’re wondering about Rogues. This has been a very honest appraisal of my experience.
Did you fill the tank before and after the trip? I do not believe you got 44 mpg in a gas crossover. My Camry hybrid likes to claim I'm getting 54 mpg on a highway trip sometimes, but it's always 43 mpg at the pump.
@@aluisiousyour computer shouldn't be that far off. My sienna is pretty spot on only ever a 1mpg difference. I'm averaging 41mpg in my sienna hybrid and wverytime I hand calculate it the vehicle is always really close.
If I ever win the lottery I'm hiring you as a consultant and we will take all the issues you've ever seen and create the perfect car that has none of those design problems
The bottom is very open on this car but in Europe it totally sealed from the road.Everything is covered with plates down under.The power steering is electric.All is four cylinder engines .
I really like washers that follow the wiper and replacement of the hose periodically is not a big deal. I have a Subaru forester with fixed jets, aimed improperly. They cannot be adjusted and are nearly useless.
9:40 you don’t need a special too to do transmission services just drain fill from the dipstick then get the transmission fluid hot by idling and open the level port at the bottom for a few minutes then you’re done. It can be done by yourself in under an hour.
The CVT on our 2007 Nissan Versa was still going when the subframe, brake lines & a few other things bit the dust. Nissan won't be seeing me again in this lifetime.
Nice video! It seems like the only real design issue is with the potential carbon buildup on the intake valves, the rest seems serviceable. Did you find your toothbrush in the engine compartment? ;-)
@@maxdm1583 I'll spell it out for you. He does a mechanical review on a car. Each generation has great differences. The video is only reviewing one generation, (the current one) and not all of them. Therefore the title should be more specific. Most people who reviews cars put the year or generation. And those channels dont even dig that deep into mechanics. Its like making a video called "Nintendo Console Review" Yeah... which one? Theres a lot
@@speedkar99 I've seen them with 100k miles no issues already. Biggest issue we had with the was some programming errors and the t case seals not being installed correctly
Didn't the variable compression design come out on a Infiniti originally about 5 years ago and still used on those cars? Is that not enough time to test the design?
It looks a bit better than the last generation. With the change in leadership, distance from Renault & large acquisition/stake in Mitsubishi Automotive things could get better. The Variable Compression I4 was really well tested for Infiniti but this I3 may have been shortcut? I guess we'll find out in 2033
I was just commenting about the renault thing...I have only been researching Nissan a little, but yes it does seem they just need to split from them. Stick with Mitsubishi only...same country, culture, values, etc. Anyway, do you know anything about their latest CVT? Is it still Jatco? What sources can you share about what you know so far?
I take it that this review also applies to the new Mitsubishi Outlander? It seems to me that the French engineering is strong with this one, thus the cost cutting on the parts for easy failure.
There is no cost cutting. What in the world are you on about. Whatever Honda/Toyota/VW you're driving will have smaller axles, more plastic parts and won't have Nissan's use of aluminium on control arms or independent rear suspension.
“Now I can remove the air filter” and it’s full of leaves and junk 😂😂😂 Old Honda ridgelines are prone to strawberry milkshakes due to having the transmission fluid cooled in the radiator I believe. I wonder if this setup is more reliable, less, or the same? That’s brutal that there’s that much rust on the subframe at 2 years old! Seems like a five year throwaway vehicle.
I drove one of these as a rent a car a few months ago through the north east. I thought it was pretty clunky and terrible driving it on the highway.. when you put it in sports mode its a lot more smoother. Driving in NYC I rethought how I hated the tech and the start/stop shit. It became REALLY useful especially since driving in NYC is really terrible these days. I recently drove a murano on the west coast and actually missed the rogue. All the cool tech and features of the rogue made me miss it and I thought how basic the murano was. Anyway it seems theyre all pretty cheap these days. I wouldnt buy a car from 2018-2025.
What is it about the jatco design that causes so much failure? Hondas been using CVTs since the 2013 accord and you never hear about their cvt blowing up.
Issue is people beat on them like they stole the car. Nissan cvts can do 400,000 kms when taken care of and you keep changing the fluid. I have seen original jatco cvts go 400,000 kms or more.
@@kevinW826 My 79yo friend has a Nissan with Jatco CVT. He drives infuriatingly slow and easy. The first Jatco died at 15,000k, and the replacement lasted to 45,000k. Pretty good for a transmission you say will last 400,000. Maybe his 3rd one will go till end of warranty?
Just the kind of car that blocks all traffic every Sunday morning when the elderly ladies drive to church. Fortunately, I'm never up that early on Sunday mornings. And if I was, I wouldn't have been allowed to drive for many hours yet, so I don't have any problems with them.
I own a 2006 Nissan X-Trail which, so far, has been a reliable and low maintenance cost car. I wouldn't even consider a modern Nissan, especially one with a Jatco CVT!
@@speedkar99I use to live in Brampton/Milton. I worked with a guy who had two Nissan Altimas and bothe cvts made it to 400,000 kms. The first was totalled in an car crash, the second he traded it in for a murano. He had 100,000 kms on it when I left the company. If taken care of Nissan cvts will last. My sister in law use to have a 2009 Nissan versa with the cvt. It’s still on the road as they sold it to a friend of theirs and they are taking care of it. My wife and I are looking at a Nissan kicks for her since she only does city driving. I have no concerns with their cars.
I bought a 2017 Rogue in 2019. Worked fine for 6-8 months. I did the drain and fill on the CVT at 30,000 which was a mild pain in the ass with no dip stick but not horrible. Then spent an exorbitant amount of time at the dealership over the next 6 months getting warranty work on the front end because of a metallic clunk. They essentially rebuilt the front end and it still made noise ohh and I had to do a door lock actuator but because it’s Nissan you can’t just buy the actual actuator and pop it in like a normal car you’ve got to get a whole assembly which was stupidly expensive so warrantied it for that. I decided to sell it to the dealership for a profit during COVID value surge since I didn’t need a second car with us being WFH and having a motorcycle to use if my wife needed the truck. Was never happier to see a vehicle leave my life. Did not want to own that thing without a warranty. Didn’t recall it being horrible to work on.
@@speedkar99in 2011 no unless you got the SL I'm hatchback configuration. All other models have the 5 or 6spd manual or the 4 spd automatic. I had a 2008 versa hatchback with cvt for abkit 210k miles and it never burned oil and 0 cvt issues on that car even though I drove it like a maniac.
No turbo charger to fail and no head gaskets to fail, and no contamination of the oil with gasoline like the Honda CRVs with 1.5T. Also they don't catch fire like the Hyundai/Kias.
Had a 2016 1.5t civic. Transmission went at 45k and the head gasket went at 83k and the dealership screwed me out of my warranty coverage… can’t trust new Hondas, actually it’s known that the 1.5t L15 is bad
Speaking of waiting for a wife, a guy I knew had a can of tutrtle wax that he kept in his car so when his wife was shopping he would get out and wax his car. The punch line is that the car would be in various stages of waxing as he drove it.
The 1.5T has problems with head gaskets. If you’re buying a Civic get the 2.0L (or the upcoming 2.0L hybrid). For the CRV, the same 2.0L hybrid system is your friend.
In Europe it is called X-trail but comes with 1.6 petrol engine or 1.5 l diesel and a manual gearbox or a CVT automatic . Its smaller brother is called Qashqai with. 1.2 petrol,1.6 or 1.5 diesel with a manual gearbox or CVT.I own a Qashqai 1.5 diesel and is a nice car and is a top seller in Europe .
Nissan was the best Japanese car prior to 2000 after the Nissan/Renault/ Mitsubishi alliance they are below Hyundai. I hope carlos ghosn gets life in prison.
I appreciate the honest reviews that you do. They are very good.
The snark is strong in this one Mr Kar, and I *love* it!

I lost count of the subtle and not so subtle jabs in this review, I respect the dry humour good sir.

Excellent presentation of some of the reasons why Rogues are a little cheaper to buy than the competition but are built to be throw away vehicles.

In what part of the universe are they putting 2.5 straight 4 on these?! In US market these are only 3 cyl 1.5 turbos - horrible junk
This gen launched with the 2.5 as he did say this was a 2 year old car.
Yeah the 2021 model had 2.5.
Base model Canadian markets still have the 2.5
At least Nissan pickup trucks are still made reliably.
1:50 lol
😂
No turbo charger to fail and no head gaskets to fail, and no contamination of the oil with gasoline like the Honda CRVs with 1.5T.
Also they don't catch fire like the Hyundai/Kias.
But it's got the CVT to fail ...😂
I had a 1.5 civic. No issues until 200k miles, cvt was fine but head gasket started to ooze
No head gasket????
Had a 2016 1.5t civic. Transmission went at 45k and the head gasket went at 83k and the dealership screwed me out of my warranty coverage… can’t trust new Hondas, actually it’s known that the 1.5t L15 is bad
Speaking of waiting for a wife, a guy I knew had a can of tutrtle wax that he kept in his car so when his wife was shopping he would get out and wax his car. The punch line is that the car would be in various stages of waxing as he drove it.
I suspected this car would be a nightmare to work on especially the water pump.
That's the old engine,the new is the 3 cly turbo way more efficient
Seems like Nissan just cheaper out on this model to the point where they can’t even include an actual dipstick
I totaled my 2019 sentra :(
The car market is so fucked especially in the west coast. I think the east is slighlty better
One mile after the warranty done😅😅😂
I'm not the only one that squinted to see the oil leak, right? Right?
I saw it too
Nissan is the Stellantis/Chrysler of Japan. You're not a TRUE Nissan Rogue/Altima driver unless you're paying 29%APR.
man, I wonder how you would talk about a engine from the american south. it seems all these canadian cars just rust out in 10 years.
More complicated the e-power version 🗿🗿🗿
This one is going into my do not buy list😅
For me ... 'glad i didn't buy list'
Meh...
You might end up in one of it's cheap enough...
One million thousand PSI. That some serious pressure. Throw in some coal & maybe make a diamond or two. 😆
Wow, 1 Million Thousand Hundred PSI !!!!!!. I suppose you measure it with a Millimeter hey ????
Hahaha
so they replaced the only good engine they had with a 3 cylinder junkola.
This is not a Nissan rogue 2023 this Nissan is the 2021
7:42
Flapers fails
Engine more hot and maybe Drink milkshake🤣
🤦♂️
Haha
I take it a 2023 Honda civic 1.5T is much more reliable than this? Same with the Honda crv?
The 1.5T has problems with head gaskets. If you’re buying a Civic get the 2.0L (or the upcoming 2.0L hybrid). For the CRV, the same 2.0L hybrid system is your friend.
@@tails300 too late, but I'm definitely assuming the civic even with the 1.5t will long outlive the Nissan rogue
RIP, 2.5.
It's too bad they replaced with a 3 cylinder
In Europe it is called X-trail but comes with 1.6 petrol engine or 1.5 l diesel and a manual gearbox or a CVT automatic . Its smaller brother is called Qashqai with. 1.2 petrol,1.6 or 1.5 diesel with a manual gearbox or CVT.I own a Qashqai 1.5 diesel and is a nice car and is a top seller in Europe .
I cannot believe how poorly this car is made and it is not cheap to buy, Nissan in my opinion the worst Japanese car manufacturer , great review
It's too bad because they used to be just the opposite. (like back when they were called Datsun)
It's average for the industry. Remember there's Ford's and GM's out there too
LOL, that's why I said worst Japanese@@speedkar99
Buy a rav4 money saved in the future.
If it has a cvt, it has gone rogue.
True.
Nissan rogue and Mitsubishi outlander, both leave the factory with the intention to be sold to customers with poor credit history.
That's the theory. Attainability for the masses
This guy is too real lol
dwl... 70% doom and gloom on this one
If you buy a Nissans, you’re not getting the Japanese reliability…
Good point
So sad to see manufactures doing eveyting they can to make these cars fail so fast. Apple has been the cancer in our society with these evil plans
The new car buyers don't value this as much because they're blindsided by warranty
Nissan was the best Japanese car prior to 2000 after the Nissan/Renault/ Mitsubishi alliance they are below Hyundai. I hope carlos ghosn gets life in prison.
In terms of quality maybe. Most new car buyers don't consider reliability near the top of their list.
Garbage car, garbage quality, build to last untill the warranty expires. I don't understand why the exhaust have more soot than my 17 year old car
Egr, direct injection, tall gears low rpm
it's a cvt, it doesn't have tall gears@@rosegold-beats
Nissan quality looks so horrible, 2 years old and its already rusting and leaking oil. A 15 year old Honda is better than a brand new Nissan !
Quality isn't their strong point. Affordability for the masses is.
