4/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The 2019 Nissan Rogue draws its heaviest complaint volume around the forward collision avoidance system and the brakes. Owners frequently report the automatic emergency braking activating unexpectedly, hard, sudden stops triggered by overpasses, road grates, shadows, or intersections where no actual obstacle is present. Some describe the vehicle simultaneously cutting acceleration while the collision alert flashes. The brake complaints overlap significantly with these false-activation events, though some owners also describe independent braking concerns at highway speeds. The electrical system draws a smaller but notable share of complaints, including backup camera failures where the display goes blank when the vehicle is shifted into reverse, and seat component malfunctions where power seat motors stop responding and require repeated repairs without a lasting fix.

By System
The 2019 Nissan Rogue has 4 recalls, the most serious being a folding ignition key that can collapse while driving and cut power to the vehicle, creating a sudden and unexpected loss of engine control.
Two of the remaining recalls affect only Rogue Hybrid models. The brake booster on those vehicles can overheat internally, causing the power assist to fail and requiring significantly more pedal force to slow the car, which extends stopping distances. Also on hybrid trims, the engine control module bracket can rub against and damage the wiring harness, blowing a fuse and stalling the engine while underway. The fourth recall covers the backup camera, which on certain vehicles can fail to display an image when reversing, removing the driver's view of what is directly behind the car.
