Model years Nissan Rogue Sport
2018 Nissan Rogue Sport
This year drew an ordinary 92 complaints for a Nissan Rogue Sport — the model's median is 55. What they were about is the unusual part: 10.9% of them mention camera, against 3.6% across the model's other years.
NHTSA opened a defect investigation into this model year.

What the complaints were about
- camera — 10.9% of this year's complaints, against 3.6% across the model's other years (3×). Owners wrote it as: camera, prevention, back over, over prevention.
- higher — 6.5% of this year's complaints, against 1.4% across the model's other years (4.7×). Owners wrote it as: higher, damage vehicle, cause engine, unsure.
- locked — 6.5% of this year's complaints, against 1.8% across the model's other years (3.6×). Owners wrote it as: locked, yesterday, brakes locked.
Words owners used for the same problem are counted together, so a fault written four different ways is measured once. Grouped by which complaints they appear in, not by a list anyone wrote in advance.
What owners wrote
Back over prevention. The back over camera becomes disabled and will not turn back on.
The Backup camera is blurry during the day and at night totally useless with a grayed out picture as if your looking into a cloud. I have taken the car for this issue and some settings were changed, that only made things worse. I was then told is working norma…

How this was worked out
Every year of the Nissan Rogue Sport was compared against its own history rather than against other cars, which removes popularity and age from the answer — a common car draws more complaints at equal reliability, and an older one has had longer to accumulate them. A year is flagged when it drew at least 2.5× this model's median and at least 50 complaints.
This is a fault record, not a review. Nobody files a federal complaint to say the car was fine, so it shows what tends to go wrong — not whether owners liked it, and not whether it is a good car.
