Overview

2014 Nissan Rogue

The 2014 Nissan Rogue, a compact SUV, offers a practical package with available All-Wheel Drive and a combined 24 MPG from its 2.5L engine and CVT. However, its ownership proposition as a used vehicle is complicated by a high number of 54 recalls and a significant 223 Technical Service Bulletins. While it achieved a 4-star overall NHTSA safety rating, potential buyers must be aware of its below-average reliability assessment, largely driven by a persistent electrical system wiring corrosion issue.

Critical Failure Risk

Water and salt intrusion can cause corrosion in the under-dash wiring harness, leading to various electrical malfunctions, short circuits, and potentially fire. This issue was the subject of multiple recalls.

Early detection can help you avoid a $3,500-$5,000 repair.
