If the car is performing the same as when you bought it, including fuel efficiency, and you haven't noticed any changes then you don't need to go looking for problems. No symptoms = your car is running fine.
The heat shield on the Rogue is a really bad design, extremely thin gauge aluminum that vibrates a lot and bends easily. If you're concerned about it, have your service shop check it out. If any of the welds or fasteners are broken they'll re-secure and you'll be good to go. But I don't believe there are any screws or bolts that you can tighten, I've only seen spot welds.

would like to add: that with the car on and in park, e-brake engaged - crawl beside the car, and look & listen under the car.
1. ask someone in the car to turn on the A/C. that will cause the engine to bog down a bit, and then rebound a tad. listen for rattles.
2. ask the person to rev the car a little. listen for rattles.
if nothing - then you might wanna crawl under and with gloves and with a fist, hit the exhaust in a few places and listen.

Thanks and I will do that as soon as the wife gets home.
