2021 Nissan Rogue SV 6 Month Review! (10,000KM Review)

[@erichcollar9810]

Yeah, thanks for that. I just bought the car (Platinum) and this helps me with what to expect. It’s been two weeks and so far I’m impressed. Cheers.

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Congrats on the new ride

[@benasta30]

Thanks for your review, I totally agree with what you had mentioned in your presentation. As far as the remote starter, I was so annoyed by its performance, I had to spend an extra $ 400 to install a new one, which is working perfectly now. Thanks again.

[@jackkiller21]

New one ? You mean new one from Nissan itself ? Or from 3rd party ?

thanks for the info on the roque I'm thinking on getting a roque

Good review. Thank you! Have been looking at these for a while.

Great info here thanks so much for the insight

Thanks man. Awesome channel by the way! I’ve seen your stuff and it’s great content!

I bought 2021 Nissan Rogue in the US 2 months ago and it has currently 2000 miles and all buttons on the infortainment system have stopped functioning including audio controls on the steering. Need to take it to dealership to get it checked/fixed

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Sorry to hear that! Personally havent had that happen to my vehicle so I can’t help much. Good luck on getting it sorted out

[@workisfun...2438]

How has it been since?

[@alia957]

@@workisfun...2438 it fixed on it's own the next day

[@lisadiaz7590]

I hate most is the gas tank !! No lever or button to unlock to open. Just press on gas cover it opens ! Someone could put any thing into my gas tank .

[@ofcbob6391]

Look into a locking gas cap Lisa.

[@MichaelLee-ln5mx]

It doesnt have any trend for even a locking gas cap. This is a turned off for this car

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Nissan….

[@erichappyvideo6691]

That is so many very simple issue, mine is worse, last year i bought my nissan rogue 2021 brand new and it has less than 10k km im using and the shocks mount on the driver side knocking noise and i need to wait for 3 months to get the parts, i end up returning it coz i dont trust nissan anymore coz it happened to my 2016 nissan pathfinder as well and i went to dealership they said they cannot duplicate the issue. Then i went to Canadian tire, they identify that the problem is shock mount on my pathfinder and i returned to dealership shame on them their tech and replaced the shocks but it need other technicians to check their car, bad experience. This year i get Rav4, maybe less problematic.

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Sorry to hear about that. I agree this shouldn’t happen with new vehicles.

[@Zoomzoomvenus]

Thanks for the review! This was very helpful 🙂

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Glad I could help!

[@codrut.codrut]

nice review, thank you!

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Thanks

[@sushilmishra333]

I agree, remote start don’t work and I hate gas tank cap.

[@davidkelm6708]

Yes I bought a 2021 rogue and it has been back to the dealer five times within 3000 miles. I’ve had the battery changed I’ve had it in there for complete diagnostics they were giving me every excuse the car was brought in there five times for just not starting. One day none of the controls on the steering wheel worked and the radio didn’t work so I went to the shop for that. I am currently lemon law my car. So buyer beware in the company couldn’t tell me what was wrong. One time I had a Flashlight hooked up to the USB and they said that was what drain the battery and why it wouldn’t start which my company mechanic said it was a bunch of bull

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Ya sounds like a lemon to me. Sorry to hear you had to go though all that

[@ofcbob6391]

Sounds like I need to wait till the 2022's are out before I consider getting a Rogue. They need to get the bugs out.

[@ofcbob6391]

David, what ever happened with your situation with your 21 Rogue?

[@workisfun...2438]

I'm curious too what the outcome has been?

[@ifoster165]

I hope everything works out for you

[@anishanc6712]

Nice video, do you know whether this model has door ajar waring sound if any door is open and we try lock the doors using remote key?

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Yes it does. Also warns you if you leave a key inside and try to lock it

[@anishanc6712]

I had rogue 2020 which honk when I lock from remote key while all doors are closed, which helps to make sure all doors are closed. And it will not honk if any door is open. Recently I bought 2021 rogue which honk always regardless of whether all doors are locked or not.

[@sidhuvinayagan9114]

Thanks for your review, it was very insightful. how is the Rogue doing now? There were some comments across the internet about Engine reliability issues. Would like to hear your thoughts.

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Never had any issues with engine. Still runs good, I daily drive it and haven’t had anything major happen since that one error code I made a video on.

[@xToddmcx]

You should take it to the dealer for warranty service on the roof issues and wiper blades (they're supposed to slow down faster and not slam into the stop like that). And your key fob needs a new battery. I mean, if you haven't already, I'm watching this months later. The app sucks though, nothing you can do about that.

[@chiken0079]

I have a 2013 Nissan Sentra and the wipers also do shake up the entire car.

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

It’s doesn’t make me feel confident in the build quality when u see that kind of stuff lol

[@jackkiller21]

All the glitches with infotainment is it resolved in 2022 version ? Any idea ? Thank you.

[@jackyuehengxu3665]

Have you experienced any problem with starting up the car in the winter? I heard that there is a faulty/low battery voltage problem with the 2021 Rogue. I woud like to purchase the new Rogue but fear that it will not start if left sitting in winter for a day.

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

I leave mine outside all winter and never had an issue myself. Sometimes I don’t even drive it on weekends and it’s still good to go after sitting a few days

[@jackyuehengxu3665]

@@SmokinMonkeyOG Thanks buddy!

[@user-jo4en1zl7b]

I like new look but i also like doing some of my own work removing the splash guard with 18 plastic clips and 2 bolts just to do a oil change shows me nissan does not people doing there own work how sad😢

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

That splashguard isn’t so people can’t do their own work if they didn’t want you to do your own work, they would put proprietary fasteners there that you can’t remove not shitty clips. The reason it’s there is to keep your engine, clean from all the dirt and grime on the road as well as fuel efficiency if you really don’t like it then just don’t put it back, problem solved

[@HALWG51]

It actually sounds like you have one with a problem with the head unit. You should get it replaced, although I know with company cars you sometimes let things slide. I know, I have driven company cars for 47 years. If it was my personal car, I would have had it back to the dealer and had those items corrected.

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Not just me. Since I posted about this I’ve had over 50 people tell me their Nissan does the same thing. And not just rogue models it’s all Nissan’s that apparently have this issue

[@justminifigs]

Thanks for you reviews on this rogue. Have you driven this in the snow yet? If so how does it handle?

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

I have and it’s doesn’t handle great.. this is the front wheel drive version however

[@justminifigs]

@@SmokinMonkeyOG Not good to hear lol. I am in Michigan by the lake so we get that lakeshore effect snow. I will let you know how it works out for me soon. Snow is on the way ⛄

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Ya I’m by Toronto so we get the same thing here from Lake Ontario. Not the best once you actually get some snow accumulation on the ground.

[@gustavolopez9557]

You can get the moon roof with cloth seats?

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Mine is the SV with cloth and moon roof so I think you can option it that way if you want

[@pinakmiku4999]

Great thorough review! For some reason, many people didn’t have a smooth experience with Nissan but they give a lot for money. Trying to purchase a SUV at 30k but many recommending to not spend on Rogue as they have been unreliable with their CVT and resale value free falls in first few years. Would like to see how this compares to CR-V, RAV-4, and CX-5.

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Thanks! I’ll try to review those next

if nissan fixed their CVT, i think NISSAN is quite reliabe

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

You should watch my other rogue videos. They are my most viewed ones because of how many issues people have with the screen and the vehicle not going into park when you leave it and it rolling away, transmission not shifting into any gear and having the battery die because it displays error messages all night till the battery dies

@@SmokinMonkeyOG can you check your rogue VIN number? i think your rogue is not made in japan. My friends who bought rogue that made in japan had no issues like you

@@SmokinMonkeyOG From what you said, i am very happy to see nissan really had fixed their CVT problems

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Ya mine was one of the first ones that came out, I doubt it is made in Japan. Mine hasn’t had half of those problems though, that’s what other people are saying in the comments. I’ve had a few issues but nothing like what other people are experiencing

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

It shifts fine but it doesn’t always go into park. I’ve had this issue before. I made a video on it

The SV has a sunroof or is that a upgrade?

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Mine came with one but im on canada. This one is not an upgraded one though its a front wheel drive model basic SV

in the US, it is an optional package for the SV, includes the sunroof along with power tailgate and leather wrapped steering wheel
