2019 Nissan Rogue Problems

2019 Nissan Rogue problems owners report most

2019 Nissan Rogue problems are documented in public: owners have filed 336 complaints with NHTSA, the earliest in 2019 and the most recent in 2026. Sorting those by the component the filer named puts the brakes clearly first, at 124 of the 336 complaints, two of every five filed.

A complaint is not a repair bill and not a defect finding. It is one owner telling the regulator something went wrong. What makes the count useful is the concentration: when one component takes 37 per cent of everything filed on a car, the pattern is doing more than chance.

Against the 2018 car, this model year has drawn 45 per cent fewer complaints (336 against 609). Both years are led by the brakes, so this is a fault that carried over rather than one introduced with the 2019 car.

Of those complaints, 28 describe a crash and 1 describes a fire. Filers reported 29 injuries.

Recalls on the 2019 Nissan Rogue

A recall means the manufacturer or the regulator found a safety defect, and the repair is free at a franchised dealer however old the car is. There are 3 recalls on this model year. Your own car may be covered by some, all or none of them, so check the VIN rather than the model.

In owners own words

These are complaints filed about the brakes, quoted as written. They are one persons account rather than a diagnosis, and they are here because a symptom described by a driver is easier to recognise than a component name.

ON 7/20/21 @ shopping ctr opened door & seat was to floor & Dash not Displaying 'Brake' 'Start'. Sitting in seat took keys frm my pocket, held up near steering wheel & dash displayed start function. During this entire time I was pumping the brakes up & down to the floor. I started the Rogue & called Fuccillio. Yes I can bring it by. When I proceeded to put in gear 'R', the brakes seemed to hold enough. Backed up and felt brakes were normal. At Fuccillio due to time of day and too many customers ahead of me, aske to return on Wed. 7/21/21 at 10:30am. Left the car, waited for Lyft but none calle

Last month, January 2023, a light came on indicating there was a malfunction of the brakes. We thought maybe the brakes needed to be replaced. The problem is, we replaced the brakes and rotors in 2021 after an oil change and Nissan stated they were both going bad. This was odd because, when we purchased the car, in June 2019, the car had 34 miles. But at the time we took the car to Nissan, it was due for a State inspection. All NC cars have to be inspected on a yearly basis and that could've failed the inspection. In October 2022, we were hearing a loud squeaking noise and took the car to Ni

MY NEW NISSAN ROGUE HAS ONLY 356 MILES ON IT . UNIVERSAL NISSAN SOLD IT TO ME AND THE CAR'S COMPUTER SEEMS TO BE MALFUNCTIONING. IT SEEMS TO BE A HARDWARE ISSUE AND NOT A SOFTWARE ISSUE AS THEY TRIED UPDATING THE SOFTWARE WITH NO SUCCESS. THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIX THE AUTO SAFETY BRAKE. IT DOES NOT WORK FOR FRONT PEDESTRIANS OR REAR PEDESTRIAN SAFETY. THE VEHICLE ALSO DOES NOT APPLY THE BRAKES IN TIMES OF EMERGENCIES AS IT IS ADVERTISED TO DO SO. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN KILLED IN THE CAR BECAUSE THE COMPUTER IS MALFUNCTIONING AND SPEEDING UP INSTEAD OF APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE CAR IS A DEAT

I WAS IN THE PARKING LOT OF A HOME DEPOT. I TURNED RIGHT INTO AN AISLE WHERE THERE WERE AVAILABLE SPACES. AS I APPROACHED A SPOT I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR TO LET THE CAR SLOW DOWN ON ITS OWN AND RESTED MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL GETTING READY TO APPLY THE BRAKE TO BRING IT TO A FULL STOP ONCE I WAS IN THE PARKING SPACE. AS I APPROACHED TO SPACE THE CAR RESPONDED PROPERLY BY SLOWING DOWN. I TURNED LEFT WITH MY FOOT RESTING ON THE BRAKE LIGHTLY PRESSING DOWN GETTING READY TO FULLY APPLY THE BRAKE FOR THE FINAL STOP. HOWEVER, AS I PRESSED THE BRAKE THE CAR KEPT ROLLING AHEAD ON ITS O

How other model years compare

The same nameplate across the years we hold. Complaint counts fall naturally for newer cars because fewer of them have been on the road for long, so read the column as a rough signal rather than a ranking. In this set the 2018 Nissan Rogue has drawn the most complaints and the 2020 Nissan Rogue the fewest.

What to check on the brakes

Brake reports describe a pedal that goes soft or sinks, longer stopping distances, and a judder through the pedal under firm braking. Some describe the car braking by itself where an automatic system is fitted.

Buying a used 2019 Rogue

Brake hard from speed on an empty road. Pads and discs are a normal wear item and cheap to replace, so a judder is not a reason to walk away. A pedal that sinks under steady pressure is a different matter.

If you already own one

Have the fluid tested, not just the pads. Brake fluid absorbs water as it ages and a soft pedal is more often old fluid than a failed part. A fluid change costs far less than a caliper.

• Brake firmly from speed to feel for judder or a sinking pedal.
• Have the brake fluid moisture content tested.
• Check pad and disc thickness against the service limit, not by eye.
• Ask for a quote separating pads, discs, fluid and labour.
