She has a 2014 Rogue. I hate it with a passion. Not for any good reason. Just sort of the vehicle itself and some maintenance crap that’s gone wrong with it.
Summary of my holiday hate for the Rogue——
1. Steering feel of a drunken Itishman on a drunken horse. It sucks.
2. The steering wheel groans when you turn it. Drives me mad. Wife doesn’t even notice.
3. Passenger side heated seat takes forever to heat up. This is about when we arrive at our destination. So my ass never gets warm, despite constantly checking to make sure the heated seat light is lit.
4. The battery died last week. When I replaced it in the semi-dark, it took me like 5 minutes to discover the hoo d prop is attached to the HOOD, not near the radiator, like every other vehicle on the last 30 years. Also, the battery tie down rods are JUST slightly different in length from each other. Ah, let the laughs commence as the idiot tries in vain to get the bolts to attach.
5. The auto shut of the heavy lift gate no longer works from the button on the lift gate. You have to use the remote. Mildly infuriating
6. My wife treats it like the local garbage dump. Cups, wrappers, and 5,000,000 hair bands litter the inside.
7. She smashed into a curb tonight and blew out the tire. She limped to the local gas station and tomorrow we’ll be installing a tire at NTB. Ah, 2 hours of quality time at NTB
Ba humbug for this POS Nissan. And yes, I realize much of this is due to my wife’s car-ownership skills, and another part of it is maintenance stuff.
I done care. I hate the Nissan Rogue.

Counterpoint: the Rogue is the perfect car to bear the burden of being piloted by your wife.

Funny, my mom’s Camry (bought nearly 10 years ago but I think she’s put no more than 60K on it) also has a steering wheel noise, one that makes me want to rip it off the steering column. She claims she doesn’t notice it. I couldn’t deal with that. The car has been virtually flawless otherwise.
A co-worker has a 13 (I think) Rogue, she drives the hell out of it and it keeps going.

Your wife sounds like my dad.
He has a Ro gue of similar vintage. Hands down one of the worst cars I’ve ever driven. Tuesday night I’ll drive it a bit home from the airport. It has basically no redeemable qualities. It turns badly. It accelerates badly. It brakes badly. It has no tech. It get meh mileage. It’s not very comfortable. The seating position is bad. The CVT looks at the engine and thinks “I can make that worse! ”
My mom has a CX-5. It’s the opposite of all those things. She used to have a 1st gen Murano (which was unkillable). My dad saw the Rogue and thought it was a smaller Murano and not a lifted Altima. Facefalm.

It’s like some pissed- off hung- over engineer at Nissan was ready to q uit, but was assigned the Rogue as his/her last design job — “I’ll show those bastards a crappy design!”

Maddening isn’t it? The wheel is creaking away and they’re merrily talking about the Christmas party and in the meantime you’re over there a bout to scream “FIX YOUR STEERING WHEEL!”

Move the wheel a degree, and there’s a squeaky creak. I can’t do it. My W210 E55 had the famed sunroof/headliner rattle that can impact that series, and I spent hours tracking it down - and was so pleased when I fixed it.

I used to sell Hyundais, and the crossovers came with grab handles on the center console ( because “ rugged” FTW). Funny thing though, the consoles were actually stout in Santa Fes and Tucsons, when we had used Nissans, you could gently put your palm on the center armrest and wiggle the entire console to a chorus of squeaks and groans. When my ex wife was shopping CUVs, I forbade her from looking at Nissans
