2018 NISSAN ROGUE SPORT Engine Problems

The radiator cooling fan on 2018- 2020 Nissan Rogue Sports has failed and does not turn on, which causes the vehicle to overheat and the air conditioning system to stop functioning properly. This problem creates a significant safety risk, as the vehicle can quickly overheat when idling or driving in traffic, potentially leading to engine damage, vehicle breakdowns in unsafe locations, or even fire hazards due to overheating. The issue has been widely reported by many Nissan Rogue owners, and I have confirmed through online forums and news reports that there is an active class action lawsuit related to defective cooling fans in Nissan Rogue models. The cost of replacing the cooling fan is significant, often over $1,000, and there are widespread reports of shortages in replacement fan assemblies, making it difficult to repair the vehicle in a timely manner.

We have a 2018 Nissan Rogue Sport S fwd., and the AC began to cool off & on, then there was no air at all coming from the vents. Took the car to Firestone and they said it was the blower motor & blower motor resistor - so I had those replaced. Not even a week passes and there's a noise coming from the engine especially when ac is on and a vibration to go along with it. I carried it back to Firestone and they tell me it's the cooling fan, it wasn't wanting to turn off when car was shut off, so I have to make an appointment to bring in etc..etc.., 2 days later the cooling fan just stops working and the engine temp, of course, wants to run hot. So - the car isn't drivable in its current state, and from what I've been reading online, these cars definitely have some issues! I read that Nissan had recalled the year 2019 & up for these same problems ?! What about the 2017 & 2018s with the same issue?? Shame on you Nissan!! Knowing that you put a defected part in these cars that just stop working out of the blue, causing cars to over heat and could potentially cause unnecessary damage to engine. It's just wrong any way you look at it.

Last year our AC stopped working intermittently, took it to the Nissan dealership and they charged me almost $2,000 to replace the AC compressor. This year the Engine Radiator Coolant fan became an issue, the coolant fan bearing has something wrong with it and causes it to turn the ac off and overheat the engine. Possible causing catastrophic internal damage to the engine. It wasn’t until I was looking at forums to figure out how to replace the electric fan that I realized how many others had the exact experience, and then to find that they recalled 2019 and up. I believe they should have included 2018 and from what others have said 2017 as well.

The radiator fan quit working around 116000 miles, causing engine to overheat, a/c to not work, coolant tank to boil all contents out each time the engine overheats. Starting the car is difficult now, have to pump the gas to get the engine to turn over. Battery dies often now.

Engine Cooling fan stops working without giving any warning of its failure Car engine then over heats and car AC stops working. Fire hazard potential. u can smell burning rubber coming from the engine due to the excessive heat.

I almost got rear ended because my 2018nissan rogue sport s, randomly went into emergencybraking mode as i was driving through an intersection. I was going the speed limit, and my brakes and inspection are all new. The car started flashing a warning yellow light even thoufh there was no obstruction in front of me and then it came to a complete stop abruptly. I was unable to press the gas or brake.

My car started smoking/steaming while I was driving through town at night, shortly after the engine light came on and my C/H indicator sailed over to H. I pulled over and immediately shut the car off, called for a tow truck. Took about 10 minutes for it to cool down and stop smoking/steaming. Mechanic ran a diagnostic on it and told me that the cooling fan broke and that it could have started a fire had I kept trying to drive it, said they measured the temp inside and it got up to 268 degrees. They ordered a new one for me, but were told that it would take a while because there were 26 other customers ahead of me that were also waiting for one. My car is still sitting with the mechanic if it needs to be inspected, this is the first time that I have had any trouble with the vehicle in the 3 years that I have owned it.

I was going to take my 2018 Nissan Rouge to the dealer for my electric fan coolant because the bearings sounds like they are going but we decided to do it ourselves because they wanted over 1000.00 USA Dollars and we can't afford that. Even my local garage said it would be over 800 bucks! We started to search the internet to find out we are not the only ones with this same problem!! Lots of people are having the same problem with these cars and most of the Nissan brand. I would like to know why this hasn't been recalled. This could heat up my engine or worse case blow it up. The second compliant I have is my seatbelt doesn't work sometimes. The latch keeps getting stuck and the light is on no matter if it is buckled or not. This seems to be not under warranty? WHY it is a safety hazard. I am very disappointed in the Nissan production. I love the car but keep having these problems!

LAST NIGHT HOT AIR WAS COMING OUT OF MY A/C AND I SHUT OFF THE CAR AND IT WOULD TURN BACK ON AGAIN. IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES UNTIL THE 4TH TIME IT SHUT OFF. WHEN I WENT TO START THE CAR, IT WOULD NOT START. I WAITED ONE HOUR UNTIL THE MECHANIC SHOWED UP. HE REVISED THE CAR AND COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING EXCEPT THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT START. WE TRIED TO START THE CAR AND AT THE 4TH ATTEMP IT STARTED AND I WENT HOME WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT ON. I WENT TO HAVE IT CHECK WITH A COMPUTER AND I HAVE A DIAGNOSIS OF: CODE-P1217 ENGINE OVER-TEMPERATURE CONDITION, CODE-P0090 FUEL PRESSURE REGUALTOR CONTROL CIRCUIT, CODE-P0507 IDLE AIR CONTROL SYSTEM RPM HIGHER THATN EXPECTED, CODE-P0087 FUEL RAIL/SYSTEM PRESSURE - TOO LOW.
