    The sunvisor on the driver side kept falling lower and lower obstructing vision. Reading about it online I found that this is very common in Nissan vehicles. Also every time I got in and out of the car, I would hit my head on the sunvisor. Eventually, I bought from Nissan a new sunvisor and replaced…

2015 Nissan Rogue mileage at failure

288 of the 554 complaints on file for the 2015 Nissan Rogue give the vehicle's mileage when the problem happened.

Mileage at failure by component, from owners' complaints to NHTSA
Power TrainMedian 85,000 milesMiddle half 60,000–105,000 milesBased on 86 complaints

A component's median is its 50th percentile, and its middle half runs from its 25th to its 75th percentile.

Owners give the mileage themselves, often as a round number, and NHTSA doesn't check it. A complaint that names several components counts under each one, and mileages that can't be right, such as 999,999, or 50 miles on a five-year-old car, are left out.

These figures describe the complaints owners filed. They don't predict when a particular vehicle will have a problem, and vehicles that never had one aren't counted.

Most complaints NHTSA received since May 17, 2021 give no mileage. So that they aren't undercounted, each one received since then that gives a mileage also stands in for those that gave none, which can put a component's median above most of the mileages it is based on.

NHTSA defect investigations

Safety consequence

If the front passenger seat occupant is misclassified, the air bag may deploy incorrectly in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
