2025 Nissan Rogue: Too new to judge

The 2025 Nissan Rogue has been on the road for 25 months, short of the five years we need to rate it. Owners have filed 206 complaints with NHTSA so far. That's 3.1× the rate other Rogue years drew in their first 25 months, per vehicle sold.

The biggest problem area, counting serious complaints more, is visibility (glass, wipers, mirrors) (44% of complaints, median 14,000 miles).

What owners describe

Driver assistance

Owners describe the Rogue's driver-assistance systems, including ProPILOT and forward collision warning, randomly disabling or triggering unexpected braking. Several say dealers could not consistently diagnose or fix the problem despite multiple visits.

Warning signs:
Owners report dashboard warnings like "Forward Driving Aids Temporarily Disabled" or blocked-camera alerts, sudden hard braking pulses, steering pulling, and crash/malfunction lights.
What shops did:
Dealers reprogrammed or reset the systems, replaced sensors or camera components, and in several cases were unable to duplicate or resolve the issue.

“Constant forward driving aids disabled due to blocked camera.”

“my car randomly and on multiple occasions applied the brakes when it wasn't necessary”

Engine

Owners of the 2025 Rogue describe a range of engine trouble, from power-reduced warnings and jerking to sudden shutdowns, overheating and smoke. Several say dealer repairs or software updates did not settle the problem, and some had failures at low mileage.

Warning signs:
Owners report 'Engine Malfunction Power Reduced' warnings, rattling, jerking, limp mode, burning or sulfur odors, heat that stopped working, thick white smoke, and check engine lights; some report no warning at all.
What shops did:
Dealers reportedly replaced an engine control module, did an ECM software update, called one problem a coil, found nothing wrong in some visits, or attributed a failure to a blown head gasket.

“warning light "Engine Malfunction Power Reduced Service Now" came on. I took it to dealership, and they checked and said nothing was wrong with the car.”

“The oil light flashed my husband lost power steering and it died at a 4 way stop.”

Visibility

Owners of the 2025 Nissan Rogue describe the rear hatch window suddenly shattering or exploding, often while parked or shortly after closing a door, with no impact involved. Many say dealers couldn't explain or cover the repair, leaving them to pay out of pocket or file insurance claims.

Warning signs:
Some owners describe hearing a popping, banging, or explosion-like sound, occasional hissing noises beforehand, or having the rear defroster running just before the glass failed.
What shops did:
Owners report dealers often could not diagnose or repair the issue, said it wasn't covered under warranty or wasn't recall-related, and referred them to insurance; some had the glass replaced by independent glass shops.
Mileage:
most between 10,000 and 15,000 miles, among 17 complaints that give it

“My back windshield exploded while it was parked in my office’s lot. The glass completely shattered for no apparent reason.”

“The rear window shattered suddenly and without warning.”

  • NHTSA 26V080000February 2026323,917 vehicles

    Engine and engine cooling: engine: hard parts internal/mechanical

    Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2023-2025 Rogue vehicles equipped with 3-cylinder 1.5L variable compression turbo (VC-Turbo) engines. Increased temperatures can break down the engine oil, which may cause the engine bearings to seize and become damaged, leading to engine failure.

    Risk: Engine failure can cause a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash. A bearing failure may cause a breach in the engine block, allowing hot oil to be discharged, increasing the risk of an engine fire.

    Fix: Dealers will reprogram the engine control module (ECM) software, inspect for diagnostic trouble codes, and test drive the vehicle, free of charge.

    Fuel system, gasoline: fuel injection system: throttlebody/manifold · Engine and engine cooling: engine: engine control module (ECU/ECM): software

    Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2024-2025 Rogue vehicles equipped with 3-cylinder 1.5L variable compression turbo (VC-Turbo) engines. The gears in the electronic throttle body assembly may break.

    Risk: Broken throttle body gears can cause a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash.

    Fix: Dealers will reprogram the engine control module (ECM) software and inspect and replace the electronic throttle body assembly as necessary, free of charge.

  • NHTSA 24V748000October 202437,236 vehicles

    Equipment: electrical: infotainment: software · Back over prevention

    Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2024-2025 Rogue and 2025 INFINITI QX80 vehicles. A software error may cause the rearview camera to display a blank screen when the vehicle is in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."

    Risk: The loss of the rearview camera image while in reverse can reduce the driver's rear visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

    Fix: The in-vehicle infotainment software will be updated by an over-the-air (OTA) software update or by a dealer, free of charge.

A recall only helps if the repair was done. Enter the vehicle's 17-character VIN on NHTSA's official recall lookup before you buy.
