My 2011 Rogue SV AWD is getting old. Is there anything I could do before it runs out of warranty. I have 1000 miles left until I hit 36000. Maybe some suggestions about some notorious Rogue problems/parts that I could inspect myself?

The challenge is that they will still only replace parts that need to be replaced. If you are looking to proactively replace parts then you need to look at parts which are diagnosed based on opinion. For example, when I had my hatch struts replaced I told them they were noisy and did not lift in cold weather (both true). I highly doubt they even performed an inspection on them, because the weather was not cold enough to reproduce the problems when I went into the shop.

Your warranty can take care of the little annoying things you "put up with", but unfortunately it cannot proactively replace parts because those parts still need to show signs of failure. And often the sign of failure is not working in certain conditions, which you would have noticed already (with the exception of something like rust).

my recommendation: start putting away cash for small repairs. you never know with any car. nissan has a great track record for quality, but lets face it: calipers/brakes are a known weak link with this car
