2023 Rogue-Same gas smell inside cabin and outside of car as others here have reported. Took the Rogue to the local Nissan dealership yesterday, and they said Nissan is aware of the issue and that the Rogue is under Engineering Review. Nissan dealership said they checked for gas leaks to make sure there was no safety problem, but that there was nothing else to do until Nissan issues a recall or figures out a fix for wherever the gas is leaking. Dealership said I had to be able to visually see leak and not just smell gasoline for them to do more. Also, I stay in the mid 20s for gas mileage even though I drive on Eco. Contacted national Nissan # and supposedly someone should be contacting me, but I see others have had no luck resolving this issue either. Unsure of what next steps should be

I'm told by people upstairs that the only problem right now is getting the parts made and into the supply chain. There will be a bulletin as soon as the parts are there. Still no bulletin issued as of this morning, I just looked.

Thanks for keeping us informed!

Update to my dealer from Nissan is that they are trying to source a supplier for the replacement hose. Since some owners have already had the hose replaced, I assume that they are trying to get additional hoses to repair all the affected vehicles.

So my wife has a 2023 Platinum she bought new at the end of December and we are getting the gas smell both inside the car and while sitting in the enclosed garage now with 1,400 miles on the odometer.

Called the dealer she bought it from 2 hours away over in Indianapolis, IN and they know nothing about this, but called back and said they can see where Nissan is working on it. Until they get a recall notice on it, nothing they will do they said.

Then called our nearer Nissan dealer over in Champaign, IL which is an hour and a half away and they have had a couple of vehicles with the problem, but said they can't fix any of them until the recall is issued.

I asked both places if they could order the PCV hose and just put it on. Neither said they would since Nissan won't pay any warranty without the recall notice and there is no guarantee the hose they order is the improved one.

I asked if I could get put on a list for ordering a replacement hose as soon as they are available, but they said we'll just get a notice in the mail.

Few questions....

Should we be making an appointment with Service to have them look at it so that it's on record as having the issue? I hate driving 3 or 4 hours just to have them tell me the same thing as they did on the phone. By the time we get there, it will have ventilated enough that there won't be any gas smell inside the car and they'll just record that no problem was found.

How are some owners getting the hose replaced already and is it truly the updated part?

What happens if you sign up with the Class Action Lawsuit or needs to be done before you do?

Or should I file a complaint with the NHTSA first?

Signing up for the class action gives them more ammo to get nissan going.

Took mine in today after the dealer called and said to bring it in. They replaced the ventilation hose going to the turbo charger per nissan engineering. Gas smell is gone but I am waiting to see. It didn't first start happening until I hit around 1700 miles. If those parts are defective are they gambling that the one I got today is good or will it start again around 1700 more miles?

My understanding is that it's strictly a materials issue, the whole delay is about manufacturing a supply of new hoses with different material. Right now the supply still isn't there, and I'm told what exists is going mostly to colder geographic areas where the problem is most prevalent.

45k for a stupid vehicle that smells like gas, the level of stupidity here is unbelievable, brings into question the entire validity of this over rated vehicle. This is unbelievable.

I'm guessing y'all won't be upset in the slightest when they make you buy a $100K EV that will be disposable in 6~10 years when the $20K battery wears out instead of a $45K ride with a mistake that's being corrected.

Why would there be an abundance of raw gasoline fumes in the crankcase such that these fumes are escaping a hose on the PCV system?

This is the dipstick from the Rogue at 2200 miles. Overfilled and seems runny. Does it look abnormal to you?

And thank you very much for all your help on this thread!

Black, runny, smelly oil comes with the turbo territory, ask any Juke owner. It's blowby past the rings and all turbos do it. Once the engine has been in service for a bit, you can expect black oil within about 1K miles after an oil change. It's a good reason to stick with full synthetic for any turbo powerplant if you plan to keep it awhile, film strength matters a lot more to a turbo than it does to an NA engine.

I think Nissan has a fix. I took my 2023 Rogue into my dealer this past week and they replaced a Rubber PVC Hose. The dealer said Nissan Engineering feels that this is a temporary fix and that they are doing more testing to make sure they have a permeant fix. My gas smell problem has disappeared. I feel they are on the right path!

That sounds like they may have replaced the permeated hose with the same old part as a stopgap, but with summer fuel coming to the pumps, that should at least get you through until Christmas. By then I'm sure they'll have new parts in the pipeline, but you might need to have it re-done if the problem reoccurs next winter.

I took my 2023 Rogue into the dealership on April 19. They replaced the PVC hose. The smell was gone so I thought it was fixed! NOT! 5 days later the smell started up again. Now it’s right back where it was - I’m choking on the fumes, the garage reeks and my house smells too if someone forgets to fully shut the mudroom door. This is not a fix. If it worked for you - just wait a few days.

I know Democrats are trying to push E15 on all the major cities, do you know if they've forced that on y'all yet? It was just "emergency" greenlit by the administration even for use in summertime. No clue what the emergency was, and why they can just use executive orders like this, but its one way to kill off the ICE cars faster. If you see it, avoid it like the plague.
