2018 Nissan Rogue mileage at failure

397 of the 612 complaints on file for the 2018 Nissan Rogue give the vehicle's mileage when the problem happened.

Mileage at failure by component, from owners' complaints to NHTSA
Service BrakesMedian 12,000 milesMiddle half 4,000–25,000 milesBased on 204 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.

NHTSA #19V654000 · Back Over Prevention — Sensing System — Camera · NHTSA notice

Reported September 12, 2019 · Nissan North America, Inc.

Potentially affected: 1,228,830 vehicles

Repair completion: 80.42% (latest rate the manufacturer reported to NHTSA; dataset updated November 3, 2026)

Owners notified November 11, 2019 · Vehicles built April 1, 2018 – May 30, 2019 (per NHTSA)

Defect description

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Nissan Altima, Armada, Frontier, Kicks, Leaf, Maxima, Murano, NV, NV200, Pathfinder, Rogue, Rogue Sport, Sentra, Titan, Titan Diesel, Versa Note and Versa Sedan vehicles, as well as Infiniti Q50, Q60, QX30 and QX80 vehicles.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."

Safety consequence

The lack of an image in the back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Nissan will notify owners in phases, having dealers update the back-up camera settings software, free of charge. The recall began November 11, 2019 and all affected VINs should be activated. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 or INFINITI customer service at 1-800-662-6200.
