What the numbers tell you

Understanding the 2018 Nissan Rogue complaints

Which systems appear most often?

The largest component group is brakes: 265 entries, or 26.4% of classified component entries. Next is driver assistance: 218 entries, or 21.7% of classified component entries. A complaint can name several components, so these percentages describe the entries in the file, not the percentage of vehicles affected. Only the leading component groups are displayed.

At what mileage were problems reported?

The median reported mileage is 14,000 miles, based on 406 complaints with usable mileage (61.3% of the 662 complaint incidents). Half of those reported mileages are at or below the median and half at or above it. This sample excludes missing or unusable mileage and does not predict when another vehicle will develop a problem.

Use these patterns to prepare questions about a particular vehicle's service history. Complaint reports describe submitted experiences; they do not establish the cause, repair cost, or condition of every 2018 Nissan Rogue. Read the symptom groups below alongside the source documents and a VIN-specific recall check.

The complaint signal has a shape

Compare model years

The line compares submitted complaints per 1,000 estimated vehicle-years, not failures per 1,000 cars. Vehicle-years use compiled US sales, a 0.25 prior-calendar-year plus 0.75 current-calendar-year model-year allocation, and the shipped survival curve. Rates appear only where estimated vehicles in operation are at least 5,000.

Each complaint is assigned to the first matching keyword group, even if it mentions several symptoms. Only the leading published groups are shown. Unmatched reports and other groups remain in the total, so these percentages need not add to 100%. A keyword match can miss context; it is not an owner quotation or proof of a defect.
