2025 Nissan Rogue: True Cost, Problems & Verdict
176 NHTSA owner complaints · 3 recalls · data-computed verdict. No opinions — public data only.
Editor's note
The Rogue is an unusual case: its complaint counts through the CVT era (2013–2018) are moderate rather than severe, because the Rogue's transmission calibration and cooling were revised earlier than the Altima's. The 2013–2018 years score between 65 and 83. Read the full note on the model page. 2025 specifically: this is one of the years the note above says to approach with care — 176 complaints on record, verdict AVOID.
