How reliable is the Nissan Rogue? What NHTSA's records show
We don't give the Rogue a reliability score. NHTSA publishes complaint counts but no sales figures, so complaints can't be turned into a rate or compared between models. Here is what's on file for model years 2010 on.

Every model year compared
Complaints rise with how many were sold and how long they've been on the road, so a newer or rarer year will show fewer. Compare years of the Rogue with each other.

Safety recalls
41 recalls cover at least one Rogue model year. Each covers a range of VINs, not every car. Check one car at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
The instrument panel may not display the transmission gear selection indicator.
Increased temperatures can break down the engine oil, which may cause the engine bearings to seize and become damaged, leading to engine failure.
The gears in the electronic throttle body assembly may break.
The incorrect-size spare tire may have been installed, which does not match the tire size and inflation pressure information on the tire placard.
The engine bearings may have manufacturing defects that can lead to engine failure.
A software error may cause the rearview camera to display a blank screen when the vehicle is in reverse.
The driver and front passenger seat belt pretensioners may have been incorrectly manufactured, which can cause the seat belts to not properly restrain occupants.
Due to a manufacturing issue, the driver's air bag inflator may absorb moisture, and cause the air bag to deploy improperly.
The left and/or right rear brake caliper assemblies may be missing an internal bushing, allowing the O-ring seal to move and brake fluid to leak.
The fastener in the rear seat belt anchor attachment points may not have been tightened properly and can loosen over time.
The driver's powered seat may not be fully secured to the seat frame, causing the seat frame welds to detach from the rear inboard seat bracket.
The jackknife key may collapse into a folded position while driving.
Water may leak into and corrode the dash side harness connector.
The in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) system may continuously reboot when the vehicle is restarted, which can result in an inoperative rearview display.
The rear seat belts for the left-hand and right-hand rear seats may not retract properly.
And 26 more recalls on NHTSA.

Common questions
Is the Nissan Rogue reliable?
We don't score reliability: NHTSA publishes complaint counts but no sales figures, so complaints can't be turned into a rate or compared between models. What's on file for model years 2010 on: 6,579 owner complaints, 6 warranty extensions and 46 service campaigns Nissan filed, and 41 safety recalls. The model years with the most complaints are 2023 (733), 2018 (668), 2013 (610). Whether a known problem was fixed on one car is what its service records show.
What are the most common problems with the Nissan Rogue?
Across every model year since 2010, owners' complaints to NHTSA most often name transmission and drivetrain (24%), other or unspecified (19%), engine (17%). Nissan has filed 6 warranty extensions covering the Rogue, listed on this page.
Which Rogue model years have the most complaints?
2023 (733), 2018 (668), 2013 (610). Complaint counts rise with how many were sold and how long they've been on the road, so compare years of the Rogue with each other rather than with other models.
Has Nissan extended the warranty on the Rogue?
Yes: transmission and drivetrain (model years 2014–2018); equipment and accessories (model years 2014–2018); body and structure (model years 2013), and 3 more. A dealer does a covered repair for free within the extended time or mileage.
How do I check recalls on a Rogue?
Enter the car's 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. That answers for one vehicle; the 41 recalls listed here are for the model, and each covers only part of it.
