Data Snapshot

• Official recalls: No recalls found in NHTSA database
• Owner complaints (from the dataset you supplied):
  • Complaint #1
    • Year: 2010
    • Component: emissions
    • Mileage: 41,140 miles
    • OBD Code: P0302
    • Description: Vehicle experiences fuel economy issues with code P0302. Emissions appear to be malfunctioning. Issue occurs intermittently during highway driving. Dealer unable to diagnose root cause after multiple visits.

Interpretation for Rogue Owners

• Based on what’s in your data, there are no official recalls for 2008-2013 Nissan Rogue, and there is a single owner complaint mentioning a cylinder 2 misfire (P0302) with accompanying fuel economy and emissions concerns in a 2010 model at around 41k miles.
• P0302 is a misfire diagnostic code indicating cylinder 2 is not burning the air/fuel mixture properly. Misfires can reduce engine efficiency, trigger higher emissions or a check engine light, and may result in reduced power or rough running.
• Because there is only one complaint in the data, caution is warranted in drawing broad conclusions about the model years. If you own a Rogue and are experiencing similar symptoms, treat them seriously, as misfires can lead to catalyst damage or increased fuel consumption if left unresolved.

What P0302 Means (Technical context)

• P0302 = Cylinder 2 misfire detected by the vehicle’s onboard diagnostics.
• Common causes (general automotive knowledge, not specific to a single vehicle):
  • Ignition issues: faulty spark plug or ignition coil (coil-on-plug for cylinder 2), damaged spark plug boot, worn ignition components.
  • Fuel delivery issues: faulty or dirty fuel injector targeted at cylinder 2, low fuel pressure, or clogged passages.
  • Air delivery issues: vacuum leaks around the intake tract near cylinder 2, PCV system issues, intake manifold gasket leak.
  • Mechanical issues: low compression on cylinder 2 due to worn piston rings, valve seating issues, or timing problems (less common).
• Symptoms you might notice: rough idling, reduced acceleration, occasional stumble or lack of power, increased fuel consumption, and a check engine light.

Practical Guidance for Rogue Owners (What to do if you see P0302 or related symptoms)

• Step 1: Read codes and confirm the symptom correlation
  • If you have a P0302, check whether there are additional codes (e.g., P0300 for random/multiple misfires, P0325, P0171, etc.). Note when the symptom occurs (idle vs. acceleration, hot vs. cold, highway vs. city) to help diagnose.
• Step 2: Basic inspections
  • Inspect spark plug on cylinder 2 for wear, fouling, oil fouling, or damage.
  • Inspect the ignition coil and coil-on-plug boot for signs of cracks, arcing, or poor connection.
  • Check the fuel injector for cylinder 2: listen for a clicking sound with a mechanic’s stethoscope and consider a balance test.
  • Check for vacuum leaks near cylinder 2 (intake manifold gasket, hoses, PCV valve).
  • Examine the air filter and mass airflow sensor (MAF) for cleanliness, since a dirty MAF or restricted air can contribute to misfires.
• Step 3: Targeted diagnostics
  • If available, perform compression test on cylinder 2 to rule out mechanical issues.
  • Use live data to compare ignition coil spark strength and fuel trims (short-term/long-term fuel trim) for cylinder 2 vs other cylinders.
• Step 4: Decision points
  • If a faulty spark plug or coil is identified, replacement is commonly the first remedy.
  • If fuel injector is suspected, cleaning or replacement may be needed.
  • If compression is low in cylinder 2, more extensive engine work may be required.
• Step 5: Monitor after repair
  • Clear codes after repair and drive through a few cycles to ensure the misfire code does not return.
  • If misfires persist after ignition/fuel system repairs, there may be a more complex issue (engine mechanical problems, head gasket concerns, etc.) and you should pursue more in-depth diagnostics.

Maintenance and Prevention Tips (Reducing Misfire Risk)

• Regular spark plug maintenance
  • For many Nissan 2.5L engines of this era, plug replacement is typically around 100k miles (check your owner's manual for the exact interval). Use the recommended heat range and gap specification.
• Ignition system care
  • Inspect ignition coils and boots during routine maintenance or if you notice rough running or misfires. Replace worn components as needed.
• Fuel system care
  • Use quality fuel and consider a fuel system cleaner if recommended by your mechanic (sparingly; follow manufacturer guidance).
  • Replace the fuel filter if applicable on your Rogue model year.
• Air and emissions system
  • Regular air filter replacement aids proper air intake. Clean MAF sensor if dirty and use manufacturer-recommended cleaner products.
• Drive cycle considerations
  • Short trips can lead to incomplete combustion and soot buildup. Occasional longer highway drives help keep systems operational.

2025 Cost Estimates for Common Misfire-Related Repairs (Rogue 2008-2013)
Note: These are rough ranges. Actual prices vary by region, shop, and exact vehicle condition. Where possible, get multiple quotes.

• Diagnostic assessment for misfire (inspection, basic testing, and code reading)

  • DIY: low/none if you have tools
  • Shop: $80–$150 (can be higher if more extensive diagnostics are needed)

• Spark plug replacement (cylinder 2 or full set for 4 cylinders)

  • Parts: $8–$20 per plug (common OEM or aftermarket plugs)
  • Labor: $60–$150 (full set typically 1–2 hours of labor)
  • Total: roughly $120–$310 for full set; about $100–$230 for single cylinder if done selectively

• Ignition coil replacement (ignition coil on cylinder 2 or for a full set)

  • Parts: $60–$150 per coil
  • Labor: $60–$120 per coil
  • Total: $120–$270 per coil (higher if replacing multiple coils)

• Fuel injector cleaning or replacement (cylinder 2 injector)

  • Cleaning/additive services: $50–$150
  • Injector replacement: $150–$400 per injector (depending on whether a direct-fit replacement is used and labor)

• Fuel system or vacuum leak issues

  • EVAP purge valve or vacuum hose components: $50–$300 for parts; $60–$150 for labor

• Associated repairs if misfire is due to mechanical issues (lower compression, valve seats, etc.)

  • Costs vary widely; basic tests can lead to major repairs
  • Ballpark: $500–$2,000 for diagnostics and initial repairs; more if engine teardown is required

Important caveats

• The above cost ranges are intended to help with planning and are not a guarantee. Prices depend on location, shop pricing, and parts quality.
• If misfire is intermittent and the root cause is not found quickly, diagnostic costs can accumulate. Getting a focused diagnosis early helps prevent unnecessary parts replacement.
• Misfires can stress the catalytic converter if unaddressed, potentially increasing repair costs later.

Data Limitations and How to Track Recalls

• The provided dataset indicates no official recalls for 2008-2013 Nissan Rogue in the NHTSA database and includes one owner complaint about a cylinder 2 misfire (P0302) in a 2010 Rogue at 41k miles.
• With only one complaint, this is not enough to infer a model-wide trend. If you want a more robust picture, consider checking additional sources or periodically re-checking NHTSA for updates, as recalls can be issued after new data emerges.
• If you own a Rogue and want to verify recalls or service campaigns over time, you can search NHTSA’s recall database directly or contact a Nissan dealer with your VIN for the most current information.
