Fuel tank problems on other Rogue years

No other Rogue model year has enough reports of fuel tank problems for a sheet of its own. See every Rogue year.

What this problem usually is

This group mixes an annoyance with a hazard. On the annoying side, the pump at the gas station keeps clicking off before the tank is full, or the fuel gauge jumps around and reads wrong. On the hazardous side, owners smell gas in or around the car or see fuel dripping underneath. Some say it only happens right after filling up.

What owners wrote

“Cabin often smells like gasoline, seems like there is a leak somewhere. Dealer told me there is no fix, and that the vehicle is under "Engineering Review".”

“When driving it has a fuel odor in the cab of the vehicle. Also when the vehicle is in the garage (inclosed space) the entire garage smells of fuel. I have had this to the Nissan Dealership and they claim they can't recreate the issue.”

“No component had failed. I feel me and my childrens safety is at risk because when I start my car each time I smell fuel. Most of the time it will eventually dissipate, but sometimes it takes a while. The issue has not been figured out. The vehicle has been inspected. My vehicle isn’t showing any warning signs.”

“There is a strong smell of gas/exhaust fumes in the vehicle when it's running. The smell is absolutely nauseating. I've been told that at this point Nissan is aware of the issue and there is no fix as of yet. Now I'm stuck driving a brand new car that is making me and my family ill.”

Should you keep driving it?

This page can't tell you that. 0 of 32 reports involved a crash and 2 people were hurt. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.

File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
