4/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The 2019 Rogue Sport draws the most complaints around its automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning system, which owners report triggering unexpectedly, braking or alerting without an actual obstacle present. This phantom braking shows up across a wide range of speeds and driving conditions. Engine complaints are the second-largest group, with multiple owners describing overheating traced to a failed radiator cooling fan, often occurring around 40,000 miles. Several owners report the fan stops working, temperatures climb, and the AC also fails as a result. A smaller but consistent set of powertrain complaints describes the transmission jerking or surging at highway speeds, sometimes with no warning light until after the event. Owners also report engine stalls, some at low speed in traffic, others while accelerating on the highway, occasionally accompanied by a P0507 idle control code.
