Most vehicles in the Rogue’s segment cost around $521 in yearly maintenance. According to RepairPal, most drivers report spending below $500 per year servicing a Rogue out of warranty. Thankfully, most Nissan Rogues from later model years won’t rack up terribly high repair costs. This model’s engine is also jarringly loud, especially when starting or accelerating the car. While most drivers didn’t have to rebuild the transmission, mechanics sent them away, saying it was “normal”. The 2015 Nissan Rogue also has A/C problems, plus a transmission that vibrates at idle. Unexplained squeaks and rattles are sometimes heard throughout the interior, especially on the highway. Some drivers also reported seeing excessive rust as soon as 36,000 miles. This model is also prone to developing unsightly exterior damage, like peeling and cracked paint. These cars also suffered from a faulty transmission, sometimes accompanied by engine acceleration issues. We’ve seen the most problems from drivers of 2013 Nissan Rogues.

Some even had to get the transmission replaced twice, which can easily cost upwards of $4,000 each time. These models had a serious transmission issue: some reported on Consumer Reports that it would fail after just 80,000 miles. We’d recommend avoiding a Nissan Rogue from either 2009 or 2010.

Many drivers also had problems with the rear backup camera, which Nissan later addressed in a recall. Consumer Reports surveys showed that there was a temperature regulation issue and sometimes the fan only worked on the lowest setting.

While the 2019 model didn’t have any major problems, drivers were very annoyed with the A/C system.
