4/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The dominant complaint pattern for the 2022 Nissan Rogue centers on the engine, particularly the turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder. Owners frequently describe a knocking or rattling noise during acceleration, most noticeable when the engine is cold, and dealers in multiple reports characterize this as normal behavior for the engine. Beyond the noise, owners report more serious outcomes including check engine lights, low oil warnings, and in some cases complete engine failure while driving at highway speeds. A separate cluster of complaints describes the engine stalling or shutting off unexpectedly, with the vehicle sometimes restarting after a short wait. The fuel and propulsion system draws a related set of complaints involving rough running and hesitation. A handful of owners also report the engine stopping without warning at speed and being unable to restart immediately.

By System
The 2022 Nissan Rogue has 6 recalls, the most serious involving the fuel tank, which can either leak from a puncture caused during vehicle modifications or fail when road debris pierces a wall that may be too thin, raising the risk of fire in both cases.
Engine problems also carry serious risk: on Rogues equipped with the 1.5L 3-cylinder or 2.0L VC-Turbo engine, defective engine bearings can cause the engine to fail, and if a bearing breaks through the engine block, hot oil can escape and ignite. On the occupant safety side, the left and right rear seatbelts may not retract properly, making them difficult to buckle and potentially leaving rear passengers unrestrained in a crash. Two infotainment-related recalls affect rear visibility: the rearview camera can stop displaying when the infotainment system reboots, either triggered by a SiriusXM subscription set to "Not Subscribed" or by a broader software issue that causes the system to restart continuously when the vehicle is restarted.
