I purchased a brand new 2023 Nissan Rogue. I can smell fuel when the car is in park. It is not exhaust either. It is fuel!!! The smell of fuel spreads into the house. We have health issues and are concerned about this problem. This is serious. We are also concerned that this could be a fire hazard as well.
After driving the inside cabin smells like fuel along motor area and around front of car. No noticeable leaks. Dealer said no noticeable leaks, called Nissan Tech line, tech line had them check a few specific areas believe some pressurized fuel lines. Service manager said it is a known issue with no current fix although Nissan engineers are working on it. Both service manager and service advisor recommended calling Nissan of North America. Issue started Feb 2023. Motor air filter smells like gas along with the oil in the motor when smelled from dipstick.
RAW Fuel smell at random times in car, sickness causing fuel smells where vehicle garaged.
The new Nissan Rogue I just bought has gasoline smell that comes into the cabin from the Engine compartment when driving at low speeds. I took the car to the dealer where I was told that Nissan was aware of the gas smell and are looking into a fix. I also called Nissan Corp. and was told that they are aware of the problem and that the gas fumes are not a danger. Also I was told that this is happening to some of the late 2022's and the 2023's. Nissan needs to get this problem fixed ASAP. This Is a safety and a health issue. Please Investigate. Thanks
Strong odor of gas both inside and outside the vehicle. Vehicle was taken to dealership for warranty repair and dealership stated there is a known issue with the 2023 Rogue however Nissan does not know what the issue is or how to fix it but they are working on a fix. Over one month later and multiple conversations with consumer affairs they are refusing to fix or replace the car. There are health concerns as we drive a lot and experience headaches and dizziness from the smell as well as the safety concerns as they have no idea what is causing the odor and gasoline is highly flammable. ***Note on the 2nd visit to dealership they were able to duplicate the odor.
I was driving on the interstate with heavy traffic with family in the car. The car engine suddenly lost power and suddenly started making a metal on metal banging noise. The check engine light didn't come on for a few minutes after but it was obvious something was wrong. We were able to get over to the side of the road a few feet out of traffic. We had it towed to the Nissan dealer. We were told it was an issue with the engine block/cylinder #2 failed. This is a 2023 3 cylinder Rogue that has been maintained properly. There was no warning at all. The engine light did not come on until well after the engine failed. We were told an "Nissan Investigator" has to come inspect our car??
When I first purchased the vehicle I started to smell gasoline inside the vehicle and then it became worse and now I smell it outside and inside the vehicle my garage smells of gasoline. The engine on echo mode gets 35mpg which I was told it should be less than that. The engine loses power, it makes noises, is very rough felling when driving, it seems that the vehicle is getting worse by the day. The gasoline smell is so bad I have to get out of the vehicle because it starts burning my eyes and then I get chest pain/burning.
Good morning - I will be contacting the dealer today. I have a 2023 Nissan Rogue and there is a strong smell of gas in the cabin. I haven't purchased gasoline so it isn't that. It is coming from under the hood. My eyes burn I have a sore throat and am nauseaus and dizzy. I looked it up online to troubleshoot and apaprently it is a known issue however there isn't a recall. I've tried opening windows , closing them, recirculating the air nothing helps. Even after the car has sat for 8-9 hours it still smells inside and outside the car - edit I just called the dealer and they are backed up until next week. As far as the mph question, I can smell it when driving and parked.
There is a strong odor of gasoline in the cabin of the vehicle when driving. The gasoline smell is also strong in the front of the car. I cannot park the vehicle in the garage due to the smell. I am afraid of a fire. I contacted Nissan who said they were aware of this issue and said they were investigating, but have no solution. Even though they have been aware of this issue since the 2022 model came out and never contacted me and continued selling the vehicle. I took the car to Mankato Nissan for inspection who verified the odor but said they could not find anything and had no solution.
When driving in stop and go traffic, the cabin of my Nissan Rogue gets a strong smell of fuel. After driving it, I park in my garage and the entire garage smells like gasoline as well. There is no other source for this smell in my garage. I have taken it to the dealership looking for a gasoline leak and they said it is not leaking, yet I smell gasoline while driving as well as when it is parked inside the garage and outside in parking lots.
When I park my 2023 Nissan Rogue in the garage, the garage fills with a strong gas smell. This happens about 50% of the time. There are no performance issues or warning lights involved. I took it to the dealership for assessment yesterday. They did not find evidence of a leak. They said Nissan is aware of this and is investigating and that there is no danger at this time. I believe this does create a health and safety risk to myself and my family and possibly to my home. They also reported that Nissan suggests this issue could be due to winterized gas. This response does not indicate that Nissan accepts responsibility or cares to solve this problem.
Smell of gas after driving
This is my 2nd 2023 Nissan Rogue. The first one was purchase in October 2022 Around Thanksgiving 2022 we started smelling gas inside the car and outside the car. After the dealer confirmed the smell and told us there was no fix at the time, we left car at dealership and took a loaner, several weeks later the dealer said there is still no fix. We went to dealer and bought another 2023 Nissan Rogue at approximately 800 miles we started smelling the fumes in the cab and outside the vehicle
The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated upon starting the vehicle while it was parked, the vehicle rolled back and struck the side of an unoccupied vehicle, causing the vehicle to strike another unoccupied vehicle. There were no injuries sustained. There was no police report filed. The contact was able to drive the vehicle to her residence. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 8,000.
There is a strong smell of gasoline inside the vehicle when driving. There is also the smell of gas coming from the engine when the vehicle is parked in a garage. The dealer stated this is a known problem with the 2023 Rogue but there is no fix to the problem. They just state Nissan is aware of the problem. The smell causes headaches while driving and the fear is it is a fire hazard.
After about the 3k miles mark, I started noticing a raw gas smell on the interior of the cabin when driving the vehicle. I also notice this gas smell when my vehicle is parked in my garage, with the engine off. I brought it to my local Nissan dealer, and they confirmed that it is a known issue 3 other 2023 Rogue customers have reported to this dealership. They did a visual inspection for leaks, and ran a computer diagnostic but nothing was found. At this point they informed me that corporate Nissan is aware of the issue and until they find the root cause of the problem, and issue a recall there is nothing my dealer can do.
SMELLS strongly of GAS. Location of smell is strongest on driver side closest to windshield under the hood. Vehicle is currently with 2280 miles. Purchased in December of 2022. Smell began mid January 2023 with mileage approximately at 1700.
After driving the car and parking it in the garage we notice a "raw gasoline" smell. If we are driving and idle at a stop sign the heater (heating the interior) picks up the gasoline smell and the fumes come inside the car. We have to open the windows to air it out once moving. The problem appears to be getting worse, meaning the smell is getting stronger. We have contacted Nissan and they gave me a case number #48234302, but no progress. The dealer says Nissan is working on the issue, but there is no fix. I have call both Nissan and the dealer since 1-18-2023, but for the most part no one will respond anymore. We find the smell a health concern.
On November 12, 2022, I purchased a brand new Nissan Rogue 2023. Within a few weeks of driving this brand new car, the check engine light came on. A few days after the check engine light appeared, the car almost shut down while I was making a left turn at a light. I called the Nissan dealership where I purchased the car and they told me to bring the car in for inspection. While driving on the interstate highway to get to the dealership, the check engine light changed to "Engine malfunction." Immediately, the car stopped functioning. The gas pedal became flat, and I could not get the car to accelerate no matter how hard I tried. The vehicle essentially stopped in the middle of the highway with me and my two children in it. This incident posed a significant risk to me and my children, as well as to other motorists in that we could have been involved in a major car accident. I called the police and had the car towed to the dealership. The dealership stated that the signal between the pedal and the engine, which cause the car to accelerate was faulty. They said the defect has been repaired, but I will never drive that car again. After this incident, I conducted a little bit of research and I found out that consumers have been experiencing similar problems, dating back to the 2016 model (all of this information is located on google). what makes the situation even worse is that Nissan has, on multiple occasions refused to reimburse my $35,000. I am now paying the price for something that is not my fault. Buyers be aware!
The Engine Malfunction power Reduced just pop up, and even i push the accelerator pedal to the floor, it almost dont run, I almost stuck in the center of the Traffic Crossing.
The smell of gas is so strong inside and outside of the cabin of the vehicle, that it is causing health issues. Nissan told me to put the car on air circulation as a temporary fix, but it is not working. My entire body is shaky and I’m suffering from migraines and nausea.
Known issue, fuel smell inside cabin after initial start up and after parking in garage. Fuel/exhaust smells are persistent while initially driving off as well, significant safety risk as we are not certain where this is emanating (or originating) from. This is a health hazard and could potentially lead to engine fire, etc.

Vehicle smells of strong gas smell in the cab and around the vehicle. Smell is so strong it makes you feel light headed and gives you a headache. This is a huge health concern for me and my family. When parking in the garage it smells so strong that you have to then park it outside so you do not have a fire hazard in the garage. Took it to the dealership to have diagnosed and was told that Nissan is aware of the issue and it is under engineering review but there is nothing they can do at this time. I then reached out to Nissan consumer affairs and they denied a buy back and told me that it is under engineering review but they do not have a fix for it. If they do not have a fix they should buy it back. This is a huge safety and health concern for me and my family.
The cabin of the vehicle fills with a gasoline odor when driven. When I park the vehicle in the garage (with engine OFF), the garage fills with a gasoline odor. I have experienced nausea and headaches with the smell. My oldest child has complained about the smell and making his head hurt. It is very concerning that my ATTACHED garage fills with gasoline odor and could continue into my residence. I am now forced to park my vehicle outside and can not have my two children in the vehicle. I took the vehicle back to the dealership and they initially claimed it was an O Ring around the gasoline tank. They replaced it and the issue still continued. They then advised that Nissan is aware of this issue but does not have a fix at this time. There are cases around the country with this issue. I am now using a loaner vehicle from the dealership until Nissan finds a fix. There is approximately 5,300 miles on the vehicle. There are no warning messages on the dash. This problem started at the beginning of January.
After 3000 miles on my car I noticed a gasoline smell in my garage after driving it. Now I have 5000 miles and the gasoline smell is so strong I have to park it outside my garage since my garage is attached to my house and the smell enters my house and makes me feel nauseous and gives me a headache. I have made an appointment with 2 Nissan dealers who state it is a known problem but there is nothing they can do about it at this time and are waiting to hear from Nissan. There are no warning lights on in my car.
For months now, inside the cabin and outside of the car smell like raw fuel. I have taken it to Nissan and they were unable to find anything wrong. There are times I have to roll down the window because the smell is so strong. This is an almost everyday occurrence.
There is a constant strong fuel odor coming from the car, especially when it is parked inside the garage. It is most noticeable under the front hood as well as inside the cabin. The car has been inspected by the Nissan dealer and they have not found any leaks. They did confirm that this is a known concern, which is under engineering review and the dealership is working with a specialist to address this. They have also informed us the smell is caused by colder temperatures as more fuel needs to be injected than normal and thus causing the strong odor. However, the smell is constant even in worm temperatures. Also, a Nissan engineer has confirmed that this is caused by a design flaw, which only appears on cars with a turbo.
After about two months of driving our 2023 Nissan Rogue SV, a fuel odor emerged from the car. The odor is detected constantly in the car's interior and exterior. The fuel odor is so intense that we are concerned about the safety of parking the vehicle in our garage; we must park it outside. Due to the intensity of the fuel odor, we have purchased a fire extinguisher, as we are afraid of a car fire in the event of an accident/collision. Additionally, we are very concerned about our exposure to the gas fumes, and the health risk it may be causing. The dealership we bought the vehicle from evaluated the car, and informed us that the issue was that gas was sprayed accidentally on the hood liner during production. The dealership replaced the hood liner; however, upon returning the vehicle home the same day, the fuel odor persisted with the same intensity, and it did not fix the problem. The problem occurs after driving the vehicle, and the technician, who did the repair, must not have driven the vehicle.
First issue: After starting the vehicle there can be a smell of gasoline in the passenger cabin for a little bit. Also after parking vehicle in garage and turning off engine, the garage smells of gas and remains overnight, it is not exhaust fumes. Sometimes it seems to be worse after driving in reverse. There is no sign of a liquid leak on the undercarriage or on the floor. Happens whether the gas tank is full or near empty. Vehicle is only 2 months since purchase. Second issue: The rear of the vehicle jerks sideways, usually toward the passenger side, when going over pavement joints, cracks or bumps. It is worse at highway speeds, but happens around town also. The rear of the vehicle doesn't seem to track straight when bumped. Took the vehicle to the dealer to check alignment and they said it was within specification and made no adjustments. The tire inflation is proper per the door jam. On some roads in bad weather it is a very uncomfortable feeling and feels like loss of control.
We were in an accident that has caused injury to the driver (fiancé) and passenger (myself). The impact was on the front driver side. No airbags deployed. No emergency braking activated or collision warning appeared. The cruise control was on, that also activates all sensors. We do not have insurance information yet, but this vehicle is most likely going to total. We have yet to receive the incident report from the police.
The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated there was an abnormal fuel odor inside and outside the vehicle. Upon inspecting the vehicle, the contact found no visible leaks coming from the vehicle. The vehicle was then taken to the dealer where the mechanic also could not detect any leaks coming from the vehicle. The manufacturer had been notified of the failure and provided a case number. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 2,000.
Strong gas odor in cabin of vehicle emanating from air cleaner housing. Also strong gas smell outside of vehicle after and while driving. Smell is very strong and causes dizziness, nausea and headaches.
When driving vehicle cabin will fill with a fuel odor which can make you nauseous. In order to prevent the vents need to be on recirculat which in turn fog up all the windows in the winter time. Also when vehicle is parked in garage it fills the garage with an extremely strong fuel odor. Has been to the dealer 3 times, 2 times they couldn't reproduce and the 3rd time they can't find the problem. Nissan is aware and has it under "engineering review" with multiple claims from other owners.
I purchased my 2023 Nissan Rogue SV in Oct of 2022. After a few weeks of parking in the garage I noticed the smell of raw gas in my garage. At about 1000 miles I noticed the smell of raw gas while driving slowly through the neighborhood and while stopped at stop signs and traffic lights. I brought the car back to the Nissan dealership where I purchased it from and explained I was smelling raw gas. The dealership told me there was a break in period and after about 5000 miles I should notice improved gas mileage and the quote "weird" smells should go away. I now have 7,200 miles on the car and the raw gas smell is far worse to the point of causing me headaches and nausea. I cannot park in the garage anymore because it makes even my house smell of gas. I now fear of explosion from gas fumes. I would trade the vehicle for something safer but at this time can not afford to do so.
Fuel smell from engine compartment that enters cabin if heat turned on. Took to dealer, nothing showed up on computer. Unable to see leak, or evidence of fuel leak. Started about 2 months ago. Was reported to Nissan who states that it’s under engineering review. Fuel smell lingers for a couple hrs after parked in garage. Concern for health exposure to fumes and potential engine fire hazard. No check engine warning lamps.
Fuel smell continues from engine compartment. Specifically after parked in garage and it is localized to the windshield gutter on drivers side. Started 2-3 months ago. Was reported to Nissan who state that it is under engineering review and there is no fix at this time When heater turned on, fuel smell gets into cabin . Concern for health exposure to fumes as well as potential fire hazard. Check engine warning light does not come on. Only 3000 miles on the car. Bought in September 2022.
Strong smell of raw gasoline coming from the front of the vehicle after driving and while driving. If parked in garage entire garage has strong odor that penetrates into attached house. Very hazardous to health and emissions.

I am reporting a safety issue with my 2023 Nissan Rogue Platinum involving engine failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealership for repairs under warranty and remained there for approximately 8 months. I was only provided a loaner vehicle for one month during this time. After finally receiving the vehicle back, the engine is still not running properly and the issue appears unresolved. An engine malfunction or loss of power while driving could create a serious safety risk. Given the extended repair time and unresolved defect, I believe this issue should be reviewed for safety concerns.
My rear window shattered spontaneously
