This morning, I had to run by AutoZone to get a battery replacement. My neighbor across the street installed it for me. When I tried to start the car this morning, all the lights came on, but the car wouldn’t start. I figured it was the battery, and I knew it was time for a new one since the original had lasted 9 years. It’s a blessing it lasted that long, as batteries usually last 6 to 8 years. Besides a flat tire back in June, I’ve only had a few minor issues.

I called roadside assistance, and a guy came to jump-start the car. He wasn’t able to put the battery in, so I had my neighbor across the street do it for me. I knew the battery was on its last leg and wouldn’t last much longer. Thank God it happened right in my driveway! There was no battery light flashing when cranking; the only things that came on were the indicator lights and the NAV system. My poor car was sputtering. Now she has a new battery, so I’ll be driving her. The weather was bad, so I wasn’t able to run all my errands as I wanted. She idles quietly now… HOORAY!!!

Praise God

I just had an oil change at 37,000 miles and went to another dealer who does much better work than the last service department. The car needed some attention: I had to get the rear brakes replaced as they were critical. I also needed to get a brake fluid flush, as I was told it was critical. I had to replace the air filters since they had never been changed in the decade I’ve owned the car. I also had to get a new alignment, which I took care of today after leaving a doctor's appointment. The only thing left to do is replace the fuel filter. I googled it last week to see what could cause the issue, as I noticed some vibration and thought it might be related. Recently, the car has been idling roughly, and the vibration feels odd—not quite like stalling—so I assume it's critical as well. I’m glad I found another dealer, even though it's an hour and a half away. Nothing major has gone wrong with the car—everything that's been done is just normal wear and tear.

The car rides much smoother now, although I couldn't tell if it was aligned straight because of gusty wind on my way home from the doctor's appointment near the service center. The last time I had the windshield wipers changed, the rear wiper needed replacing. My Rogue is still flawless at almost 38,000 miles, and nothing major has gone wrong in the past 10 years. I did a review almost 5 years ago, and after quite a few updates, I hope I can get many more years out of this car, as long as I’m still driving it. I love this car! All it needed was a set of new tires, rear brakes, a battery, an alignment, and in-cabin air filters. The previous dealer never informed me about the in-cabin filters, which was the main reason for finding another dealer to handle oil changes, rotations, and fluid maintenance.

I’ll continue to post updates, especially when I get the fuel filter replaced and the brake fluid flushed, along with another review.

I am at 41,000 miles; my next oil change will be at 42,000 miles. No issues have arisen—it has been a while since the last update, which was about a year ago. The Rogue is doing well; it needs a good washing after so much rain and winter weather. I have not encountered any significant problems. The last service required a fuel‑filter replacement and a brake‑fluid flush. Since then, the car has shown no problems: there has been no hesitation from the fuel filter, and the brakes stop firmly without needing another fluid flush. Apart from the battery—replaced in September 2024—and new front tires installed a few months before the original battery died (the battery failed one morning while I was about to run an errand)—everything else remains original.

Overall, the car is doing well after almost 11 years. I’ve finally named it Roggie; it’s a girl, so I refer to it as “she,” and she’s performing very well with no problems at this time. I will make a few updates if anything changes, but currently there are only a few minor flaws. I pray that everything continues to stay this way. After more than a decade of ownership, the car still looks like new and will probably look even better once it gets washed soon.
