Owners have filed 51 complaints
about the 2026 Nissan Rogue with NHTSA between 2025 and 2026.
The largest single group is the windows, mirrors & wipers.
Across this model's run it ranks 13 of 19 worst.
The letter says how bad. This says what kind — whether this year drew
an unusual number of complaints, unusually dangerous
ones, or failures that arrived unusually early.
The dashed ring is 50 — the national norm. Further out is worse.
Complaint volume — 5
Against the median year of the Nissan Rogue. 50 means typical for this
model; 100 means roughly double.
Severity — 100
21.6% of these complaints
involved a crash, fire, injury or death, against a national rate of
9.7%.
Early failure — not reported
Too few complaints recorded a mileage to measure this.
A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing
out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single
owner can see from inside their own car.

Recalls on the 2026 Nissan Rogue
A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which
the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous
enough to fix for free — however old the car is.

I am reporting a serious safety incident involving the powered rear liftgate of my 2026 Nissan Rogue Platinum. On Tuesday, September 1, 2026, at approximately 9 AM, I was helping my daughter unload her cosmetology case at the Sherman Oaks Galleria. The rear liftgate was open. We were both standing behind the vehicle, facing away from it toward her cosmetology case (which had become unlatched so we were fixing it). No one pressed a button on the liftgate, the key fob, or inside the vehicle to initiate closure. Neither of us intentionally activated the hands-free liftgate sensor. The liftgate began closing and struck the back of my head. It did not reverse upon contacting me and continued pushing downward. My daughter intervened to raise the liftgate by hitting the button. (Audio of incident is preserved on dash cam) An ER visit revealed healed injury with occipital hematoma. I experienced a concussion and neck injury from the lift gate. Followed up with neurology - I was Dx with post concussion syndrome and post concussive headaches. And whiplash. I continue to have headaches, light sensitivity, brain fog and very bad neck pain. Please investigate this. *written with help of chat bc my head hurts and I’m foggy. But my daughter and I both read over this report and it’s correct.

1. On XXX (clear ), while parking a Hertz rental Nissan Rogue at a hotel parking lot in [XXX], the vehicle suddenly and violently accelerated forward without warning. Brake pedal application was ineffective. The vehicle jumped a stone barrier and sustained damage. I was terrified and sustained minor injuries. 2. This vehicle is equipped with the KR15DDT engine, which is the subject of NHTSA recall 26V081/26V080 for electronic throttle body gear fracture. The reported failure mode—low‑speed unintended acceleration and loss of braking—matches my experience exactly. The primary suspected failure is the electronic throttle body (ETC) and/or engine control system, as the engine produced uncontrolled power despite my foot on the brake. The braking system also failed to respond. 3. Although this vehicle's VIN is not currently listed under an open recall, known serious safety defects within the same engine family cannot be ruled out. Prior to renting this vehicle to us Hertz did not provide any evidence that they performed (PDI) or any other safety checks to ensure the vehicle was free from hazardous conditions. They also never informed us of any potential risks associated with this engine. I have repeatedly requested damage reports and itemized repair bills from Hertz, but they have consistently refused to provide any such documentation. Requests : 1. Include this vehicle in the ongoing defect investigation of KR15DDT engines to prevent further safety risks to drivers and the public. 2. Subpoena Hertz’s complete maintenance and service records for this vehicle to determine whether it was properly repaired and compliant with safety standards before being rented out. 3.

STRUCTURE:BODY
The short inserts in the front grille of my 2026 Nissan Rogue SV have noticeable free movement at their attachment points. All short inserts can move forward/backward, laterally, and angularly. The longer grille inserts do not exhibit the same condition. I reported this condition to authorized Nissan dealers because of concern about the long-term integrity and retention of these components when subjected to aerodynamic loads and high-frequency vibration during normal vehicle operation. The condition was reproduced and documented by authorized Nissan dealers. At Nissan's direction, a dealer recorded the movement and submitted it for warranty review. Nissan subsequently authorized replacement of the complete front grille under the new-vehicle warranty. The grille was replaced, but the replacement immediately exhibited essentially the same movement. I continued reporting the condition to Nissan Consumer Affairs. Nissan later arranged an evaluation involving regional/technical personnel and subsequently informed me that the movement was a “characteristic of the vehicle” and that no further corrective action would be taken. I have personally inspected other comparable 2026 Nissan Rogue vehicles and found that some do not exhibit this movement in the short grille inserts. Nissan has not provided an engineering specification, tolerance, or measurement establishing acceptable movement. My safety concern is the long-term integrity and retention of the short inserts and their attachment points under repeated aerodynamic loading and high-frequency vibration. No insert has detached, and I am not asserting that detachment will occur. I am requesting that NHTSA evaluate this condition, including the movement and retention of the short grille inserts, and physically inspect my vehicle or a comparable vehicle if appropriate. My vehicle is available for inspection, and I have documentation and videos showing the condition before and after replacement.

My 2026 Nissan Rogue SV engine suffered catastrophic engine failure of no. 3 cylinder. Resulted in total loss of engine coolant, damage to the engine block, no. 3 cylinder and related parts, and additional damage to catalytic converter and turbocharger. Nissan replaced the entire engine block (long block), associated turbo, cat. converter, and one-time necessary connections. My only indications were ‘engine overheat’, ‘malfunctions’, and the car not able to change cvt gears, eventually turning off just as I was coming up to speed on the on-ramp to freeway. There were no previous or repeated warnings prior to event. Car was towed to Future Nissan of Roseville, which performed all inspections and repairs.

My car was sitting in a parking lot facing the south. It was over 100 degrees that day. I had a front window shade in the front window, and both front windows were down about 2 inches. I went to my car to grab something around 1:30pm and all was fine. When I cam back around 2:45 pm, the back window was shattered, with small pieces of glass laying on the ground. I called the local Nissan dealer, and they told me to bring it in so they could look at it. I taped it up and drove it to the dealer. They looked it over and could see that the glass had blown out. The mechanic that looked it over, said that based on the glass pressing out and not inward (rock or something hitting it, makes the glass press inward). The dealership put in a warranty claim on Friday and finally found out it was approved on Tuesday. The mechanic ordered the glass to be shipped overnight on Friday. 10 days later I hadn't heard anything from them, so I called them, and they didnt have the glass yet, and didnt know why. So they called Nissan to figure why, and were told, they have the glass on hand, but not enough to ship any out yet. So its been 12 days and I still cant drive my car.

Manchester, NH
VISIBILITY/WIPER
The vehicle was completely stationary at a red light when the rear windshield suddenly and spontaneously exploded with a loud gunshot-like sound. There was no road debris, no preceding or surrounding vehicles, and absolutely no external impact. The Nissan dealership wrongfully refused to cover this under the new vehicle limited warranty, claiming it was external damage, despite the lack of any impact point. Due to safety urgency, I had to replace the glass through a third-party shop via my auto insurance. This is a severe product quality and safety defect regarding the rear defroster and tempered glass, which is already subject to federal class-action lawsuits for Nissan Rogues. The glass shards could have caused severe injuries.

Valley Cottage, NY
ENGINE
On June 19, 2026, while driving my 2026 Nissan Rogue SV at approximately highway speed, my vehicle suddenly lost power without warning. This created a serious safety hazard because I was traveling with surrounding traffic and unexpectedly lost the ability to accelerate normally. I was able to safely pull the vehicle to the side of the road, and it had to be towed to Nissan of White Plains. The dealership diagnosed the vehicle with a catastrophic engine failure and informed me that the engine requires complete replacement. At the time of the failure, the vehicle had approximately 7,000 miles and was nearly new. Prior to the incident, I did not experience any warning signs that would have indicated an imminent engine failure. The engine failure has been confirmed by the authorized Nissan dealership, and the vehicle has remained out of service since June 19, 2026, while awaiting repairs. Nissan has provided a loaner vehicle, but my new vehicle has been unavailable for approximately 30 days. I am submitting this complaint because a sudden loss of engine power on a highway presents a significant safety risk to the driver, passengers, and surrounding motorists. I believe this failure warrants investigation to determine whether other vehicles may be affected.

The parts guy informed me this has happened to other drivers in the past and the part is on back order.
