2020 Nissan Rogue Sport

No clear pattern

0% of complaints about the 2020 Nissan Rogue Sport arrived in its first year of service.

The figures below are reported without a verdict. The most-reported system is engine (21 complaints), typically at 5.8 yr.

Complaints: 61
Median age at failure: 5.7 yr
Median mileage: 66,000 n=2

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2014-2020 Rogue and 2017-2022 Rogue Sport vehicles equipped with a jackknife style ignition key. The jackknife key may collapse into a folded position while driving.

Driver contact with a key in the collapsed position could inadvertently shut off the vehicle while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, if the vehicle shuts off while driving, the air bags may not deploy in a crash as intended, increasing the risk of injury.

Engine mileage not reported 3.8 yr in service

Vehicle has 61k miles and the a/c began blowing cold and hot intermittently as the car was idle but no engine lights were coming on. 5 days later a mechanic was able to look at vehicle and discovered the one fan responsible for entire car wasnât not coming on and it was only the air being pushed into the front of vehicle by having it in motion that was turning the fan thus making the vehicle blow cold air when in motion and keeping the engine cooled. No warning lights were coming on and staying on

Engine mileage not reported 3.8 yr in service

Cooling fan stopped working. I was told by the Nissan dealership this is a big issue with this specific vehicle and that itâs hard to get the part because this is always an issue. No messages appeared. My AC stopped working and I took it to the dealership were they said if I drive with the cooling fan broken it will explode. How is this not a recall? This has been reproduced by ALL Nissan dealerships and the Nissan dealership is who told me this and diagnosed my car.

Engine mileage not reported 4.8 yr in service

My car stopped in the middle of AN EXTREMELY busy road with no warning lights or signs that my engine was over heating due to a faulty fan Giving more research into it there are thousands of people with Nissan rogueâs experiencing the same exact issue and Nissan has not tried to fix the problem They are installing faulty cooling fans in peoples cars and putting them in dangerous situations when their cars overheat in heavy traffic They are going to cause the death of someone when their car stalls on a busy street with no warning or sign I was almost hit by several other cars

How to read this

This is what owners reported, not a reliability rating. People file with NHTSA about alarming failures, not routine ones, and complaint volume tracks how many cars were sold.
Failure ages come from the incident date on each complaint, populated on about 83% of records. Mileage is shown where reported — NHTSA’s 2021 system change cut mileage capture to roughly 15%, so it thins out sharply after MY2020.
Every rank compares this vehicle only against others of the same model year. A 2025 car has not had time to accumulate five-year failures, so comparing early-failure share across years is meaningless.
Fourteen make-months distorted by media storms and mass recalls — Toyota in February 2010 ran 11× normal volume across 33 models — are excluded.
Recalls are manufacturer actions and authoritative; complaints are not. A recall listed here may already have been performed on any individual car. Check a specific VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
