Your fuel gauge fluctuates and gives inaccurate readings after refueling, making it hard to know how much fuel you actually have. Your engine struggles to start and has shut off unexpectedly while driving, which is a serious safety concern. The fuel pump and fuel level sensor likely need inspection or replacement to restore proper fuel system operation.

Your 2021 Rogue is leaking fuel from underneath the fuel tank, and you notice a strong gasoline smell both while driving and when parked. This creates a potential fire and explosion hazard, making the vehicle unsafe to operate. The dealer has refused to cover the repair under warranty. The fuel system will need to be inspected and repaired to stop the leak and eliminate the odor.

My 2021 Nissan Rogue has a major gas fume leak. When the vehicle sits at idle in a parking lot with all of the doors and windows closed, the gas fumes build up inside of the cabin of the vehicle. The fumes get so strong that it gives me migraines and makes me feel nauseous and to the point of almost passing out. Sometimes it's so bad you can still smell the fumes in the car the following day even after it's been turned off all night. I took it to the Nissan dealership and they said it's a known problem that cannot be fixed on these cars.
Strong gas smell after car has been idled or parked for more than 5 minutes or so. If I turn the car off and start it again within the hour, the fumes are worse. Car has been maintenance according to schedule and passed Multipoint Safety Check on 10/2/2023. I am concerned both about the health risk of inhaling fumes, as I drive many hours per day. I have noticed dizziness, nausea, and headaches days that I am in and out of the car more. I am also concerned about the risk of a fire ensuing due to the strong fumes. I am anxious every time I turn the car on hoping that no malfunctions occur.
There is a strong fuel odor in the car. Very slight but strong enough to give headaches and unusual taste in one’s mouth. Very concerning
In this scenario, the fuel pump failed or malfunctioned, causing the engine to sputter and putting my safety and others at risk. The problem has been confirmed by an independent service center and the vehicle has been inspected by code. If requested, the fuel pump is available for inspection. Prior to the failure, a warning lamp in the form of a check engine light appeared, indicating a problem with the fuel system. I promptly addressed my issues to Nissan to prevent potentially dangerous situations on the road.
The contact owns a 2021 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start, causing the contact to jumpstart the vehicle. The contact had the vehicle towed to the dealer who stated that the alternator had failed. The vehicle had not been repaired. The contact stated that while reversing out of the driveway, the brakes erroneously activated, and vehicle independently stopped. The contact stated that the taillights would blink, and the radio would turn on independently. There were no warning lights. The contact took the vehicle to another dealer who diagnosed that there was an engine wiring harness that had been damaged by water, corrosion, and partly melted. The wiring harnesses needed to be replaced. The dealer informed the contact of the failure was also related to NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 21V957000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) and 21V068000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) however, the VIN was not included. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made of the failure and confirmed that the VIN was not included. The approximate failure mileage was 63,000.
The vehicle was being driven to work approximately 30 miles. It was noticeable that the fuel gauge was dropping rather quickly. When entering the parking lot and parking the odor of gas was strong. After walking around the vehicle a puddle of liquid was under the passenger side door area. After looking under the vehicle the underside was saturated with fuel. The fuel tank was now empty. The vehicle was 75 miles from a Nissan dealer so we towed it to a class A mechanic shop for repair. At the time we were thinking something just pulled apart like a connection. The mechanic put the vehicle on a lift and took off all the covers to explore and found the fuel line blew apart. I contacted a Nissan dealership which told me I would have to tow it to them which would be my cost. It is still at the mechanic shop and whenever Nissan finds a new fuel line it will be repaired. This vehicle is a 2021 and has 44000 miles this should not happen. Now it will be 3 weeks minimum to get this fuel line because the Nissan parts service cannot find the fuel line. I think Nissan needs to look into this issue because we had 4 people riding in the car the day before and if it would of blew out at that time and caused a explosion 4 lives could of been gone. Lucky the vehicle didn’t ignite in this situation but I’m sure it could very easily being close to the exhaust system.
