Noisy engine
Stalling Problem
Roof Rack falling apart

2008 Nissan Rogue Review:
I have two major problems with the rogue. First, there is a stalling problem. The car suddenly starts revving, the RPM goes up to 6000 only at 30 mph and I cannot accelerate. I had to park the car and take it to the dealer later that day. When I drove to the dealer there was no problem. They could not find anything wrong with the car. They asked me to take it right over the next time the problem occurs. The second time I experienced the problem I did what they recommended. I used my cell phone to take pictures of the RPM and mileage meters. However, when I got there I was told no one can look at the car at that time, so why ask me to bring it right over? Again they could not find anything wrong. I got to work two hours late that day. The second problem is with the roof rack. A part of the rack at one end came off, it now looks ugly. When I took it to the dealer, a second part came off at the other end. They claimed someone was trying to steal the rack and that's why it is falling apart. There is no evidence of other damages as of result of attempted theft. They did not fix the rack.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Nissan Rogue?
I would let customers know that the average MPG is 19.5 unless you use the paddle sticks. I did not know this when I bought it. I have terrible glare on the windhsield from the dashboard. I bought this car during a rather rainey day and did notice the glare!

2008 Nissan Rogue Review:
I cannot find anyone who could put those "awnings" around the car windows. I would like to have the steering wheel in leather but this also does not seem posssible. I'm not sure that I like this car anymore. The gas mileage is certainly not what I thought it was going to be as it was stated that this car had 24 miles to the gallon - wrong - 19.5 unless maybe you use the paddle sticks - which I don't.

2008 Nissan Rogue Review:
A great option to the CRV and RAV4 quieter and moe powerfull than the CRV or RAV4 4cyl. Handles well and interior is well thought out... cup holders work ac venta are very adjustable. Bose Radio is better than Honda or Toyota options. CVT is different but works very smoothly and can create a deceptive atmosphere that can lead to excess speed. A great crossover to add to the field.
