Recalls & safety

Whether a recall is still open on a specific car depends on its VIN. Check it free at NHTSA's VIN lookup (nhtsa.gov/recalls), or ask the seller for proof the repair was done.
Pros & cons
Pros
- Roomy, comfortable cabin with above-average cargo space and Nissan’s Divide-N-Hide adjustable load floor.
- Strong real-world fuel economy for the class, with front-wheel-drive models EPA-rated around 26 city / 33 highway.
- Inexpensive to maintain and repair: RepairPal rates it 4.0/5.0 with a low average annual repair cost.
- Available driver-assistance features including forward-collision warning and automatic emergency braking.
Cons
- The soft suspension feels floaty over bumps and the Rogue trails class leaders for driving refinement.
- The CVT drones under acceleration and remains a long-term reliability and longevity concern.
- The automatic emergency braking system has been widely reported to brake for phantom obstacles.
- The Rogue depreciates faster and holds its value less well than top-selling rivals like the CR-V and RAV4.
