I bought a sump pump from Home Depot 8 years ago with a lifetime warranty. It went bad after 3 years and Home Depot replaced it but they replaced it with one with a 2 year warranty as they no longer offer the lifetime warranty one. This one has been going for 5 years so if it fails, I have to pay for a new one.

How do we ask scotty car repair questions? Do we just ask down here in the comments and hope he sees?

[@AM562]

I believe the ones that were redesigned after 2016 or in 2016 are built better the crappy Nissans were the ones built from 2001 to 2015 and they were trying to save money in order to sell more to make money so they didn’t go bankrupt in the early 2000s. I but anyways I believe Nissan’s quality is higher now how much higher I don’t know it might only be slightly but I do believe the quality is better now than it was then I was even better in the 90s than it is now.

[@louisstennes3]

All the new vehicles are absolutely beautiful and marvels of technology and great to drive with every convenience but they are over engineered and way beyond the most experienced technicians at the dealership. When you hear the phrase come from the Service Mgr "that's normal, there all like that, don''t worry about it." That means they don't have the expertise to analyze and repair a problem. I have 3 cars, an 05 Titan truck, simple V8 and 4 speed auto, an 06 Accord with the 2.4l bullet proof engine4 and 4 speed auto and an 18 RAV4 Hybrid with the old style port injected 4 cylinder. Yes it is a Hybrid but nobody does hybrids better than Toyota. My advice, try to find a used vehicle , low miles with tried and true technology if you can find one.

Yeah, you have to STRICTLY adhere to EVERYTHING the dealer recommends to keep that warranty intact... So if they want to charge you $150 for an oil change and tire rotation every 3k miles, you gotta do it and you HAVE to do it at that dealer franchise or it's invalid. In the real world those unlimited warranty's from a dealership are about as worthless as the paper they are written on.

Those lifetime warranties from dealers are a scam. Usually, they make you sign your service away to them. If they say something needs to be serviced, at any point, you have to do it and pay for the wearable items, or it voids the warranty (i.e. cabin air filter,... you need new tires because they seem low to US). Over the lifetime you pay for way more than you need. They are basically service contracts with the dealer and if you slip 1 time it voids the warranty. It a trap you can't get out of. It was all over the news here in Georgia a few years ago. It could be different from what I've seen, but I doubt it

Power train warranties usually come with a caveat. You have to do all of the maintenance at the dealership, even simple things you can DIY, and they charge you hefty amounts.

[@blesschacko3264]

Nice review

[@kodulau3548]

This engine is brilliant and a milestone for a car engine .

[@GrifFungin]

We bought my wife a brand new 2015 Rogue SL and I have done all the appropriate maintence myself including changing the CVT fluid every 30k miles from the start. The vehicle has been very reliable and we haven’t had a single issue with it except the around view camera mounted under the passenger side rear view mirror went bad so I picked up a used one on eBay for $50 instead of paying Nissan $700 for a new one. The vehicle currently have almost 100k miles on it and we have been very happy with the purchase so far. Of note: My wife drives it in ECO mode all the time and she is a mild mannered driver so the CVT is not being abused.

[@ev-ezaye3580]

$700! What rip-offs! Good thing you turned to eBay and found one!

[@tommurphy4307]

you are referring to the rogue. for some reason a lot of people spell it rouge- and sometimes they actually call it that. good on you for servicing your CVT every 30K and seeking out/finding an 'experienced' mirror/camera for less. do you or your wife use both feet to drive it? the CVT control unit or 'brain' can recognize that and you can actually preclude the downshifting mode at lower speeds by using the brake pedal lightly while on the throttle with your right foot. just one of several tips you can use to maximize your nissan CVT-equipped car's fuel economy. of course- being a non-aggressive driver helps a bunch in that regard, as well. enjoy!

[@artsmith103]

Really interesting, thanks!

[@jimsteelman7537]

I took my 2022 Rogue in yesterday for an oil change. The service rep told me they have been replacing the engines in the 22 model at 20 to 30 k because of some accelerator related part that causes the car to stop. It is built into the engine, so the only way to fix it is to replace the engine.

I have an infinite qx50 with the 4 cylinder vc turbo. 18k miles so far. Great engine. The mating to the cvt causes a slight gear search when nailing it every once in a blue moon.

[@johanwesterlundgranberg7939]

I'd really like to read the fine print on that "lifetime transmission warranty". I can just about guarantee there's a lot of exceptions where the warranty will be void or the dealer will say "oh, that's normal". Replacing a transmission is no small job, so either Nissan is very confident this transmission won't have any problems (which I doubt, given how the previous versions have held up), or they have made sure there are so many exceptions they won't have to change practically any transmissions for free. Mind you this is a car company that's been on the verge of bankruptcy for years.

[@ofcbob6391]

hey, it's not Nissan providing the lifetime powertrain warranty, it is the Nissan dealership. Very few dealerships will offer it, they are definitly hoping that the engine does well for Nissan.

[@boylibrary3533]

I have the life time warranty on mine and I think the only stipulation is I take my car to get serviced at Nissan at least once a year, right now I have a 5 year service & rotation plan on it anyways so I’ll go there anyways

[@theamaturepro]

Bought a 2023 Pathfinder with the platinum package. Love the features and the car, but am having issues with the engine now. I was excited that the engine was so exposed and seemed accessible and easier to work on than anything else. I guess I didn't realize that meant I would be working on it so soon. Nearest dealership is a hundred miles away and I'm busy as hell. F.

[@nowzthetime]

My favorite thing about all-wheel-drive is this one specific thing which is there is always traffic all of the time and it rains a lot so when it is raining and you need to pull out into traffic you have traction and you can take a lot more risk when pulling out

[@stephenbeecher7545]

My only experience with a 3 cyl was a Chevy Sprint. It was great on MPG and zipped around town fine. But when you got to any kind of grade/hill, that is when you felt the lack of power. Oh, and the motor gave up the ghost at around 135K.

I grew up on cars with 4, 3...and 2 cylinders (ex. Fiat 600/650). In Europe, 3 cylinder engines are more common than here, so nobody is scared of them. I had one with 3 cyl. as a rental in Europe 3 years ago and it felt OK even though it was producing just around 100 hp.

We just leased a Champaign Colored Rogue Platinum and I am disappointed that our car did not come with a Tonneau Cover or The Homelink System, otherwise I love the car so far. This is our 3rd Rogue. We had 3 Muranos, 1 SE, 1 SL, and 1 SL Platinum. We had 3 Zcars, a 1980, a 1985 Turbo, and 1990. We also had one Altima. Our children have had a host of Nissans. What I see happening is Nissan is doing what the American Automobile Manufacturers are doing, allowing the dealers to squeeze you for a little extra to get everything you want in the car!

[@ravenimages8779]

I love the hell out of my '19 Rogue. Does well up here near Buffalo

[@annieworroll4373]

With a warranty that generous on the surface, I'd be *very* concerned about the fine print and how strictly they enforce things like the typical warranty requirement that you don't outright abuse the product.

[@tommurphy4307]

not a problem - there were plenty of people who WEREN'T as concerned and went ahead with their purchase. when you build reliable products- its like shooting fish in a barrel...

[@tomerph]

Scottie You made my ear with your fine. Honest praise of my new Nissan Rogue SV which I really love and to have you give it. You're AOK meant a lot. I think Nissan. Genuinely Customizes, they're fine product. To top quality. After 41 years with my own company, I bought me a rogue. And a double extended factory warranty for $1200. And now I don't have to tell customers when I see their nissans in the driveway. Nobody ever complained about their Nissan and they Always agree, they love their nissanow because you Scotty. I could not be more selfish. Or thank you, my friend. Tom universal overhead door company.

[@1Springloaded]

I bought a 3 cylinder engine many years ago. I've taken good care of it and it still runs like a champ. Of course it was made by Evinrude. The thought someone actually took out their checkbook for a three cylinder Nissan with that CVT blows my mind. In the words of PT Barnum...

Nissan make rather fantastic engines, their biggest problem is the transmision. Apparently their new design fixed the problem the old ones had, but only time will tell.

[@jasonschlesinger5343]

Maybe they fixed the CVT now but their reputation was destroyed by their CVT's.

[@QuincyStick]

@@jasonschlesinger5343 trust me it most definitely was not lmao. I see SO MANY around and know several people who are buying the ones WITH the bad CVTs. Look at chevy, they still sell like hot cakes. I mean hell even Kia/Hyundai are still in business. The simple truth is most people don't research their cars before buying them and most nissans look pretty, so they'll sell

[@briantitchener4829]

Got a new European Nissan SUV Qashqai with 7-speed DCT autobox. 4-cylinder turbo engine. It's a brilliant vehicle. Plenty of poke when you put your foot down, gears are very smooth and it's very quiet and comfortable. For all you Nissan haters out there, you would be shocked at how far Nissan have improved. Great ride.

how many miles now and any issues yet?

[@theweatherdude]

We bought a new 2021 Rogue SV last year. Same exact new body style as this one, but I guess the turbo charged 3 cylinder engine wasn’t ready yet, so they stuck with the 4 cylinder engine for just that one model year. Interesting decision, but I’m glad they did. 33,000 miles on it so far, and it purrs like a kitten. CVT feels as good as any decent automatic I’ve driven (edited to remove ‘shifts,’ as one reply correctly pointed out), so no complaints there. Gas mileage is still good…not quite what the 3-cylinder can do, but we get anywhere from 32-34 mpg on the highway. For the piece of mind knowing we have an engine that’s actually serviceable, I’ll take that over the new tech any day. We also opted for the extended warranty *just in case* something goes wrong with that new CVT, but so far, no issues. I can’t say much for 2022 and up with the fancy turbo charger, but if you’re looking to buy used, I HIGHLY recommend the 2021 model year. Very good vehicle!
