Each tile shows the median mileage at which that model year’s failures were reported. † marks a year whose median likely understates the mileage: much of its reporting came after 2020, when most complaints stopped recording an odometer reading. The 2015 reports latest and the 2019 earliest, but part of that gap is age: the 2015 has had 4 more years on the road to accumulate mileage.
The short answer
“Is the 2014–2020 Nissan Rogue reliable?”
- Median of reported failures
- 30,000 mi
- 90% of reports came by
- 98,000 mi
- Reports with mileage
- 1,778
- Recalls
- 20
At least 40% of this generation’s complaints were filed after 2020, and most complaints filed since then carry no odometer reading, so the median likely understates the mileage these failures happen at.

Documented problems
- Transmission2014–2018
- Forward Collision Avoidance2017–2018
- Body2014–2018
Owners filed 3,285 complaints with NHTSA about the 2014–2020 Nissan Rogue; problems owners could not categorise leads with 19.6% of them, and half of the 1,778 that record an odometer reading came by 30,000 miles. A count like this can’t rate reliability on its own: NHTSA records what owners chose to report, not how many of each car were sold.
33% of complaints that record mileage fall within the first 12,000 miles, against 12.8 reports per 1,000 miles between 20,000 and 80,000. Failures clustered that early usually indicate a design or manufacturing problem rather than wear.
Note: in 2014, 2015, both this generation and the previous one were sold at the same time, and NHTSA complaints are not separated by body.

How many miles does a 2014–2020 Nissan Rogue last?
Complaint records can’t measure how long a car lasts; they show when reported failures happened. On the 2014–2020 Nissan Rogue, half of the 1,778 complaints that record an odometer reading were filed by 30,000 miles and 90% by 98,000 miles.
26 reports came in past 150,000 miles and 5 past 200,000 — each one proof that a Rogue reached that mileage, not that it failed there.

System by system, in words
Complaints about this generation are not spread evenly across the vehicle, and the systems that generate the most of them do not all fail at the same point in a car's life. The median failure across all systems here is 30,000 miles; the figures below show which parts of the car run ahead of that and which run behind.
Problems owners could not categorise accounts for 19.6% of complaints (645 reports, 287 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails early — a median of 19,000 miles, well before the vehicle's overall median. Failures clustered this far below the rest of the car usually point to a design or manufacturing problem rather than wear, because wear does not selectively target one system on low-mileage examples. The middle half of these reports falls between 5,000 and 45,000 miles.
The transmission and driveline accounts for 19.1% of complaints (627 reports, 335 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails late — a median of 67,000 miles, considerably beyond the vehicle's overall median. That pattern is consistent with normal service life rather than a defect, though it matters for anyone buying an example already near that mileage. The middle half of these reports falls between 37,000 and 93,000 miles.
The brakes account for 17.2% of complaints (566 reports, 407 of them with a mileage figure), and they fail early — a median of 12,000 miles, well before the vehicle's overall median. Failures clustered this far below the rest of the car usually point to a design or manufacturing problem rather than wear, because wear does not selectively target one system on low-mileage examples. The middle half of these reports falls between 3,500 and 26,000 miles.
The electrical system accounts for 16.3% of complaints (534 reports, 245 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 32,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 7,000 and 65,000 miles.
Forward collision avoidance accounts for 12.7% of complaints (417 reports, 176 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails early — a median of 10,000 miles, well before the vehicle's overall median. Failures clustered this far below the rest of the car usually point to a design or manufacturing problem rather than wear, because wear does not selectively target one system on low-mileage examples. The middle half of these reports falls between 2,500 and 32,000 miles.
The airbag system accounts for 10.7% of complaints (352 reports, 169 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 30,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 14,000 and 58,000 miles.
Known problems with the 2014–2020 Rogue
Transmission 2014–2018
CVT shuddering, shaking, hesitation and complete failure. A $277.7M class settlement covering MY2014-2018 Rogue (with 2015-2018 Pathfinder and Infiniti QX60) extended CVT assembly, valve body and torque converter coverage from 60 months/60,000 miles to 84 months/84,000 miles, with reimbursement for prior repairs.
Forward Collision Avoidance 2017–2018
Automatic Emergency Braking false activation - the system brakes hard with no obstacle present, frequently over railroad crossings and metal bridge decks. Subject of an NHTSA defect investigation and subsequent Nissan action.
Body 2014–2018
Panoramic sunroof glass shattering and power liftgate strut failures.
Before you buy a 2014–2020 Rogue: the 3-minute check
Generated from 1,778 mileage-tagged complaints, 20 recall campaigns, 3 documented problem areas. Print this page — the checklist survives print.
- Run the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. 20 campaigns cover this generation; an open recall is a free repair you can make the seller's problem.
- Ask for brakes repair records. Reports on this area come at a median of 12,000 miles — on any car this age it already happened or never will; the question is whether it was fixed under warranty.
- Ask for forward collision avoidance repair records. Reports on this area come at a median of 10,000 miles — on any car this age it already happened or never will; the question is whether it was fixed under warranty.
- Check transmission on 2014–2018 (complaints continue through 2020) cars. CVT shuddering, shaking, hesitation and complete failure. A $277.7M class settlement covering MY2014-2018 Rogue (with 2015-2018 Pathfinder and Infiniti QX60) extended CVT assembly, valve body and torque converter…
- Check forward collision avoidance on 2017–2018 cars. Automatic Emergency Braking false activation - the system brakes hard with no obstacle present, frequently over railroad crossings and metal bridge decks. Subject of an NHTSA defect investigation and subsequent Nissan…
- Check body on 2014–2018 cars. Panoramic sunroof glass shattering and power liftgate strut failures.
- Complaint reports are not spread evenly across model years here — see the by-model-year table below before you settle on a year.
- End with a pre-purchase inspection of this car. Aggregate data describes the population; the example in front of you has its own history.
For a buyer, an early-failure pattern is comparatively good news on a used example: 33% of the reported failures occur in the first 12,000 miles, which on a car of this age means they have already happened or they were never going to. Service history matters more than mileage here.
On inspection, problems owners could not categorise and the transmission and driveline are where this generation's reports concentrate, so those are the areas worth a specific look. Problems owners could not categorise in particular shows a median failure mileage of 19,000, which gives a concrete number to compare against the odometer of any car you are considering.
None of this is a substitute for a pre-purchase inspection on the individual car. Aggregate patterns describe a population; the example in front of you has its own history.

2014–2020 Nissan Rogue recalls (20)
NHTSA records 20 recall campaigns covering vehicles in this generation. A recall means the manufacturer or the regulator concluded there was a safety defect or a standard was not met, and that a free remedy is owed to owners — including second and later owners.
The campaigns cluster around the electrical system (4), seats (2), the airbag system (2). Several campaigns against one area can mean a remedy that did not hold, or separate defects in parts filed under the same heading; the summaries below name each defect.
Recall status is specific to the individual vehicle, not the model. Checking a VIN against NHTSA's lookup is free and takes under a minute, and it is the only way to know whether a particular car has had the work done.

Crashes, fires and injuries owners reported
What owners reported alongside the failure itself, out of 3,285 complaints against this generation:
- Crashes
- 216 (6.6%)
- Fires
- 37
- Injury reports
- 163
- Fatality reports
- 2
These flags are self-reported by complainants and unverified by NHTSA; one report can carry several flags, so the counts overlap and do not sum to a total. They are not adjusted for how many of these vehicles are on the road. No chart is drawn here on purpose: overlapping counts spanning very different magnitudes cannot be honestly encoded as lengths.
Rogue problems by model year
The 2018 drew the most complaints of this generation, 668, most of them about the brakes, and the 2020 the fewest, 151. A typical year drew about 540.
One caveat on the year figures: in 2014, 2015, the manufacturer sold both this generation and the previous one at the same time, and NHTSA records do not distinguish between them. Complaints filed under that year may describe either vehicle.
