Symptoms owners describe
Complaints are reports owners file with NHTSA, the federal vehicle-safety agency. NHTSA does not verify each one, and a year or model that sold more cars usually gets more complaints, so treat the counts as a map of what to check, not a reliability score. Data pulled from NHTSA's public complaint and recall databases in September 2026.
Complaints by model year
The 2023 Rogue drew the most complaints (716). Newer years have had less time on the road, so their counts are still growing.

What Rogue owners told NHTSA
“When we got back in the car, the problem did not start up again until a few months later, during our next long drive away from home, and have avoided taking it on long trips since then.”
“The check engine indicator illuminated while the failure occurred.”
“The cvt transmission overheated, seized, and the engine was destroyed.”
“The contact stated while driving 55 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled.”
What a mobile mechanic can do on a Rogue
Most everyday Rogue repairs fit in a van, including work on the electrical system, brakes, wipers, windows and mirrors. A mobile mechanic can read codes, test the battery and charging system, replace brakes, starters and alternators, and handle most cooling-system parts where the car is parked.
Transmission rebuilds, internal engine work and anything under a safety recall belong in a shop or at a dealer – a good mobile mechanic will tell you that before driving out. What mobile mechanics can and can't do
