Nissan Rogue Lemon Law

Yes. Under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, if your Rogue's 1.5L VC-Turbo engine consumes oil excessively and Nissan cannot repair the defect after a reasonable number of attempts, you may be entitled to a refund or replacement vehicle. California law generally considers two or more repair attempts for the same defect or 30 or more cumulative days out of service as sufficient grounds for a claim.

Absolutely. A dealer dismissing CVT juddering as normal behavior does not waive your rights under California's Song-Beverly Act. If the transmission shudder substantially impairs the use, value, or safety of your Rogue, you can pursue a Lemon Law claim. Document every dealer visit and complaint, as these records serve as critical evidence of repair attempts.

Phantom braking is considered a serious safety defect under California Lemon Law. The Song-Beverly Act provides that even a single unresolved repair attempt for a defect that could cause death or serious injury may be sufficient to establish a Lemon Law claim. You should document each incident and report it to both your dealer and NHTSA.

Under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, your Rogue is generally covered during the manufacturer's original warranty period, which is typically 3 years or 36,000 miles for the basic warranty. However, California's statute of limitations allows you to file a claim up to four years after discovering the defect. You should consult an attorney promptly to preserve your rights.
