Engine and fuel-system complaints dominate owner reports for this Rogue model year, with a persistent fuel odor inside and outside the cabin being the most common symptom. A secondary pattern involves the powertrain unexpectedly decelerating while driving, which owners describe as a safety concern in traffic. A smaller share of reports involves the vehicle rolling backward on its own while parked, in some cases resulting in contact with other vehicles.
