Overview

2019 Nissan Rogue Sport

The 2019 Nissan Rogue Sport presents itself as a practical, fuel-efficient compact SUV for the used market. It boasts a commendable 28 MPG combined fuel economy and solid safety ratings, including a 5-star score in side crash tests. However, a notable number of Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) warrants attention, hinting at potential minor annoyances or repair needs that fall short of a full recall. Buyers should prioritize confirming that the two identified recalls, particularly the one concerning the ignition key, have been satisfactorily resolved.

Critical Failure Risk

The jackknife ignition key can potentially collapse while driving. This is a mechanical issue that can lead to unintended engine shutdown or loss of control. A recall addresses this with a physical spacer insertion.

Early detection can help you avoid a $100-$300 repair.
