2014 Nissan Rogue: what breaks, and at what mileage
What breaks on the 2014 Nissan Rogue
On the 2014 Nissan Rogue, the failure owners report most often is other powertrain problem, and the reports cluster around 72,500 miles. The earliest to appear is airbag warning light or occupant sensor fault, reported by a median of 15,000 miles. Overall it scores 72 out of 100, high risk for a 2014.
High risk for a 2014 — 114th riskiest of the 270 2014 vehicles we can rate. 619 owner reports; fleet size estimated from this year's own recall paperwork.
What breaks on the 2014 Nissan Rogue
Owners have reported 59 named failure modes on the 2014 Nissan Rogue, and the three most-reported carry 23% of everything filed, which is an unusually even spread for one model year.
Other powertrain problem leads with 57 reports, about 0.3 per 1,000 vehicles and with the middle half of reports between 30k to 92,500 miles.
Other electrical problem follows with 45 reports, usually reported between 4k to 77,500 miles. 2 of those reports mention a fire.
Other fuel system problem follows with 41 reports, usually reported between 30k to 95,000 miles.
By system, the reports fall mostly into transmission (123), fuel (69) and electrical (61).
At what mileage it happens
378 of the reports on the 2014 Nissan Rogue came with an odometer reading, and half of those were filed before 49,000 miles.
Cumulatively, 51% by 50,000 miles, 86% by 100,000 miles and 99% by 150,000 miles of the dated reports had been filed.
The busiest stretch is between 0 and 10,000 miles, which alone holds 22% of the dated reports.
40% of the dated reports were filed below 36,000 miles, which is early enough that a fair number of these cars were still under a factory warranty when the owner complained.
In the order they tend to show up: airbag warning light or occupant sensor fault around 17k, seat belt or retractor failure around 20k, fuel pump failure around 35k and other electrical problem around 36k.

Severity, and what it costs
Across the named modes, 25 mention a crash, 12 a fire and 13 an injury. Those are the words owners used in their own complaints, and NHTSA does not verify them, but they are the closest thing in this data to a measure of what a failure actually did.
The average severity weight across every report on this year is 4.43, where a stalled engine or a failed airbag weighs many times more than a rattling trim panel, and a figure this high means the reports are dominated by failures with safety consequences rather than annoyances. The weighting is set out in full on the methodology page.
What the top failures cost to put right, as editorial estimates for an independent US shop rather than figures from NHTSA: other powertrain problem at $400–$4,500, other electrical problem at $250–$2,000, other fuel system problem at $300–$2,200 and CVT failure at $3,000–$8,500. Dealer labour, a seized bolt or a part that is no longer made can push any of these past the top of its range.
32% of the reports on this year sit in the engine, transmission, drivetrain or cooling systems — the four where a repair bill is usually four figures.

Rate per 1,000 uses a fleet-size estimate derived from recall paperwork for this exact model year. It is a lower bound. Repair costs are typical independent-shop ranges for the failure, not figures from these reports.
How often, against how many were built
Scaled by an estimate of how many of these cars exist, the 2014 Nissan Rogue draws about 2.8 per 1,000 vehicles, which puts it in the 80th percentile of complaint rates among 2014 vehicles we can rate.
That denominator is the weakest number on the page and it is fair to say so plainly. Rate per 1,000 uses a fleet-size estimate derived from recall paperwork for this exact model year. It is a lower bound.
The working figure is 221,593 vehicles. If the true number is twice that, every rate on this page is half what it says; the ranking against other 2014 vehicles, which is what the risk score uses, is far more robust than the rate itself.

Other powertrain problem
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan rogue. The contact stated that when depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle would not respond until the pedal was depressed approximately half way. The vehicle would then rapidly accelerate for sixty seconds before returning to normal function. The contact indicated that the defect was only present after the engine was warm and the defect would recur intermittently. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure and no repairs were performed. The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The failure mileage was 300.
On may 10, 2014, I parked my 2014 nissan rogue in my garage. I put vehicle in park and got out went to the passenger side to get my bag on passenger side rear door when the car started to roll backwards. I ran to back of car to stop it. Lucky for me I wasn't behind the car when it started to roll back. I stopped it enough before it hit the decline in my driveway and ran to drivers side and jumped in and hit brake. Moved car back into garage and put blocks behind the tires. At that point, I thought it was a one time event. Approximately 1 hour later I ran an errand, put car in park (on level ground), got out of car and it started rolling backwards again. I immediately drove to nissan dealer and explained what happened. Pertaining to medical attention. My back, left shoulder and legs are very sore (may 11). Will see in a day or so if further medical is needed. *tr
Other electrical problem
On sunday january 11th, 2014, my family and I were on our way home. After stopping at a service station my husband pulled onto the highway and was accelerating to the appropriate speed and the car just got stuck at 6500 RPM's and 60 MPH. It stayed that way for about 5 miles,we could slow down but the RPM's were still stuck at 6500 and the engine was making a horrible sound, the car would not accelerate and several times we had to ride the shoulder of the road. When we finally reached the road we live off of my husband was able to slow down and turn while turning the awful noise got a little lower but a new noise was heard, a whining sound. After turning, the car lost all gas, nothing happened when the accelerator was pushed and then finally it started to go again. We arrived at our home my husband opened the hood and told me to press the accelerator a little and then he saw small puffs of smoke. I smelled something like burning rubber while sitting in the drivers seat and my husband said he smelled something sweet under the hood. This car was bought brand new on january 4th, 2014, it had 25 miles when purchased. The mileage on…
Clicked on the keyless off/on button while in "drive" when parking car. The car, at a alarming rate of speed started going backwards. I duplicated this action for my husband who thought I must have had the car in "natural" the car again started going backwards. Both events when performed on flat land. *tr
Other fuel system problem
I drove 10 miles and shut the car off for an hour then got back in and entered the freeway to go home. I drove a couple miles and lost acceleration. At 70 miles an hour on the freeway my car was actively decelerating while I was pushing the gas pedal. I let off not knowing what was happening and the car seemed to accelerate some or coasted more freely. I stepped on the gas and the car slowed down again. I repeated this a couple times before deciding I had to put hazards on and pull over. I am so grateful I didn't get rear ended as I had slowed down rapidly with out any break lights to warn others. When I pulled over and put it in park the check engine light (malfunction light) and also the power steering light came on. It was towed and held overnight until it could be towed to the dealership (apparently nothing can be dropped off when they are closed). *tr
I purchased my 2014 rogue from bates nissan in killeen, tx on 9/4/14 and from the start on the full tank of gas given to me when I purchased the vehicle, the engine would stall at stop lights/stop signs and going around corners. When I called the bates nissan service department, they told me that I was using the wrong type of gas, that I needed to use premium. We then started bringing it to the next closest dealership, garlyn shelton nissan in temple, tx. We have brought it there a total of five times now, even leaving it overnight several times. They say that they cannot duplicate the vehicle stalling while it is there and therefore can do nothing. I provided them with codes that I had my stepfather pull off the vehicle after it stalled in my parents driveway, but nissan said that they cannot use those. The only option that they give me is to leave the vehicle where it is when it stalls and have it towed to the dealership without restarting it so they can read the codes that way. This is impossible because it is unsafe for me to leave my vehicle in the middle of very busy city streets until a tow truck can come. It never stalls…
Recalls on the 2014 model year
NHTSA has issued 10 recall campaigns covering the 2014 Nissan Rogue, affecting an estimated 519,614 vehicles. A recall is a different kind of evidence from a complaint: it is the regulator and the manufacturer agreeing that something has to be fixed, and the fix is free for as long as the car exists.
The campaigns cover electrical system:ignition:anti-theft:immobilizer/proximity:, electrical system:wiring:interior/under dash, air bags:sensor:occupant classification and structure:body:hatchback/liftgate:support device/strut. Whether the work was actually done on the car in front of you is a question only the VIN can answer, and the manufacturer or NHTSA will answer it free.
Recalls also distort complaint counts. Publicity about a campaign reminds owners that complaining is possible, so reports for a recalled component often spike after the recall rather than before it.

High risk for a 2014 — 114th riskiest of the 270 2014 vehicles we can rate. The comparison is always within the same model year, so an older car is never penalised for having had longer to break.
Across the 19 model years of this car that carry enough reports to score, 2025 comes out best at 64 and 2018 worst at 80, with 2014 itself at 72.
If the model year is negotiable, 2025, 2022, 2009 and 2008 score lower than 2014 by a margin worth acting on. Same body, same engines, different luck — usually a supplier change or a mid-cycle fix, which the complaint data can show but never explain.
Within the 2014–2020 generation specifically, 2016 is the strongest year at 72 and 2018 the weakest at 80.
Scores compare each year against other cars of the same model year, so a low number on an older car is a real result and not an artefact of age.
Shorter is better. Years with too few reports to score are shown without a bar rather than as a zero, because no data is not good news.
Within the 2014-2020 generation, 2016 Nissan Rogue scores best at 72 and 2018 Nissan Rogue worst at 80.
Where to spend the inspection money
The mileages below are where the first quarter of reports for each mode had already been filed, which makes them the point at which a fault is worth looking for rather than the point at which it happens: other engine problem from about 775, seat belt or retractor failure from about 1k, other electrical problem from about 4k and other speed control problem from about 4k.
On a 2014 Nissan Rogue with more miles than that on it, the useful question to put to a seller or a mechanic is whether other engine problem has been dealt with, and if so with what parts and at whose expense. A car that has already had the repair is in a different position from one that has not.
None of this is a diagnosis. It is a list of what other owners of the same model year reported, ordered by when they reported it, which is a good place to point an inspection and a poor place to stop.
What this page cannot tell you
619 owner reports; fleet size estimated from this year's own recall paperwork. Every count on this page is therefore a floor: it is the number of owners who went to the trouble of filing with a federal agency, which is a small and self-selected fraction of the owners who had the fault.
Of those 619 reports, 378 carried an odometer reading, so the mileages here describe 61% of the sample rather than all of it. Owners also round: readings pile up on multiples of ten thousand, which is why this site publishes "about 90,000 miles" and not "91,438".
Named failure modes come from matching phrases in the complaint text, so a badly worded complaint can land in the wrong bucket. The effect washes out across hundreds of reports and does not wash out across five.
And nothing here predicts what one car will do. These are other people's complaints, filed years apart, on cars maintained by strangers. Read the page as a map of where this model year has previously gone wrong, then have the specific car in front of you inspected.
Questions this page answers
What are the most common problems with the 2014 Nissan Rogue?
The most-reported failures are other powertrain problem (57 reports, median 72,500 miles), other electrical problem (45 reports, median 35,000 miles) and other fuel system problem (41 reports, median 80,000 miles). Counts come from owner complaints filed with NHTSA, which are voluntary, so they show what owners bothered to report rather than every fault that occurred.
At what mileage do 2014 Nissan Rogue problems start?
Airbag warning light or occupant sensor fault is the earliest failure mode to show up, with a median reported mileage of 15,000 miles and a quarter of reports before 5,000 miles. Across all failure modes on this year, the median report sits at 49,000 miles.
Is the 2014 Nissan Rogue reliable?
It scores 72 out of 100 on our risk index, which is high — 114th riskiest of the 270 2014 vehicles we can rate. The score is a comparison against other 2014 vehicles, not a prediction about any individual car, and it is built from complaint rates, severity and how early failures appear.
Which year of the Nissan Rogue is best?
Within the 2014–2020 generation, 2016 scores best at 72 out of 100 and 2018 worst at 80. Same body, same engines, different luck.
Where this comes from. Every figure above is computed from NHTSA owner complaints and recall records for this exact make, model and year. Complaints are voluntary and self-selected, so treat counts as a floor. The methodology page writes out each formula, and the same numbers are available as JSON.
