2022 Nissan Rogue Sport

The 2022 Nissan Rogue Sport is a compact SUV known for its comfortable ride, user-friendly technology, and fuel efficiency. It comes with a single engine option: a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 141 horsepower and 147 lb-ft of torque, paired with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). While owners generally appreciate its nimble handling and ease of parking, some common complaints include underpowered acceleration, a somewhat dated interior design, and limited cargo space compared to some competitors.

Engine

2.0L Inline-4 Engine

• Excessive Oil Consumption
  • Description/Symptoms: Some owners have reported the 2.0L engine consuming more oil than expected between oil changes. This can lead to low oil levels, potential engine damage, and the need for more frequent oil top-offs. Symptoms include needing to add oil more frequently than normal, blue smoke from the exhaust (though not always present), and a low oil level warning light.
  • Solution: Monitoring oil levels regularly and topping off as needed is a temporary solution. A permanent fix might involve replacing valve stem seals or piston rings, depending on the severity of the issue and what is causing the problem. In some cases, the entire engine may need to be replaced.
  • Estimated Cost to Fix: $500 - $5,000+ (depending on the root cause and repair needed).
  • Recalls: None Found

Transmission

CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission)

• CVT Hesitation/Jerking
  • Description/Symptoms: Some owners have reported experiencing hesitation or jerking during acceleration, particularly at lower speeds. This can be caused by the CVT struggling to find the optimal gear ratio or due to issues with the CVT’s internal components.
  • Solution: In some cases, a software update or CVT reset can resolve the issue. However, more severe cases may require CVT replacement.
  • Estimated Cost to Fix: $150 (Software Update/Reset) - $4,000+ (CVT Replacement).
  • Recalls: None Found
