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 involving a jackknife-style ignition key that can fold closed while driving and cut power to the engine, potentially causing a crash.
Two recalls apply only to Rogue Hybrid models. The brake booster on those vehicles can overheat internally and lose its power assist, requiring significantly more pedal force to slow the car. A separate hybrid-only issue involves the engine control module bracket contacting the wiring harness, which can blow a fuse and cause the engine to stall. The remaining recall covers the backup camera, which on certain vehicles may fail to display an image when reversing.
