2019 Nissan Rogue
The 2019 Nissan Rogue presents itself as a practical compact SUV for used car buyers, offering a combined 27 MPG from its 2.5L 4-cylinder engine and Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). It earned a 4-star overall safety rating from NHTSA, with strong 5-star side crash protection. However, its 'Average' reliability verdict is influenced by 4 recalls and a notably high 47 Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). A critical recall concerning potential engine harness damage from the ECM bracket on hybrid models highlights a significant electrical system vulnerability. While there are no reported owner complaints, the volume of TSBs suggests numerous minor to moderate issues that could impact long-term ownership satisfaction and potential repair costs.
Critical Failure Risk
A critical recall identified potential damage to the engine harness from the ECM bracket, which can lead to electrical shorts, blown fuses, and engine malfunction or stalling. While the recall specifically mentions hybrid models, the general concern for electrical system integrity is heightened by a high TSB count.
Early detection can help you avoid a $3,500-$5,500 repair.
