Model years to avoid

Nissan Rogue

What it says about you

Opinion

The car that is simply everywhere, chosen because it was fine and available and the payment worked. You could not pick it out of a car park and you do not need to.

Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.

20 model years on record, 7,113 complaints filed. No year stood out against this model's own history — which means it has not drawn unusual complaints, not that it is a good car.

What owners report, and when

Faults that dominated the complaints of more than one model year. Not the same question as which year to avoid — a car can have an ordinary number of complaints every year and have most of them be about the same thing.

  • braking 2018, 2019 peak 29% of that year's complaints
  • aeb 2019, 2020 peak 14.5% of that year's complaints
  • engine failure 2022, 2023 peak 12.7% of that year's complaints
