Unclassified problem on the 2014 Nissan Rogue
8 crashes 6 injuries 14 of the 80 reports for this failure mention a crash, a fire, an injury or a death. Those are the owner's words on the complaint form, not a verified finding, and one report can mention more than one.
Only 43 reports for this mode came with an odometer reading, which is too few for percentiles to mean anything. The page is here because someone linked to it; treat the figures as anecdotes, and see the full report for this year instead.
When unclassified problem gets reported
Owners of the 2014 Nissan Rogue report unclassified problem at a median of 35,000 miles. A quarter of the reports come in before 12,500 miles and a quarter after 60,000 miles, from 43 reports that carried an odometer reading.
It is the 60th most-reported problem on this model year.
The mileage distribution
The reported range runs from 2,500 miles at the tenth percentile to 67,500 miles at the ninetieth, a spread of 62,790 miles across the middle 80% of reports.
A spread this wide points at use rather than design. Towing, climate, service history and city mileage all move a failure like this, so the median is a weak guide to any individual car.
51% of the dated reports were filed under 36,000 miles.
The whole distribution
| 10th | 25th | Median | 75th | 90th |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3,620 miles | 13,500 miles | 35,000 miles | 58,880 miles | 66,410 miles |
Read the 10th percentile as “one report in ten arrived this early”. Exact figures are shown in this table because it is the table of record; everywhere else on the site they are rounded to the precision the sample can carry.
What a percentile can and cannot tell you here
These five numbers describe the readings owners gave, in order. The median is the middle one: half the reports arrived below it. The 10th and 90th are the edges of the bulk of the distribution, and the distance between them is the part worth reading. A tight spread — say 70,000 to 95,000 miles — points at something that wears out on a schedule, and the schedule is knowable. A wide one, 20,000 to 190,000, points at a fault that hits some cars and never troubles others, which means the mileage on the listing in front of you tells you very little about your odds.
What these figures are not is a survival curve. Every reading here comes from a car whose owner filed a complaint, so the sample contains only failures: it cannot say what share of the fleet made it past 150,000 miles untouched, because those owners had nothing to report. Nor is the mileage the moment of failure — it is the odometer reading as recalled at the time of filing, which may be weeks later and is sometimes rounded to the nearest ten thousand by the person typing it.
Percentiles are shown at all only once 8 readings exist for the vehicle and mode. Below that the middle of a handful of numbers is noise wearing a decimal point, so the figures are withheld rather than dressed up.
What happens, and what it costs
Of these reports, 8 a crash and 6 an injury are mentioned. Owners write their own complaints and the agency does not verify them, so read this as what the reports say happened rather than as a confirmed count.
The same failure on other years
The same failure is reported on 17 model years of this car. It shows up earliest on the 2019, at a median of 5,000 miles, and latest on the 2024 at 180,000 miles.
By volume the 2017 carries the most reports, with 118; the 2014 has 80. A mode that appears across most years of a model is usually a design choice rather than a bad batch.
If one year stands out to the left, that is the year to avoid; if the whole line sits at a similar mileage, this is wear rather than a defect in one production run.

What owners wrote
Verbatim from NHTSA complaint narratives, trimmed for length. The mileage is the one the owner gave.
The vehicle was purchased two weeks ago. The front passenger seat would not recline, after taking the vehicle to a nissan dealership I was told the front passenger seat had distorted bolts and the wires that were under the front eat were not placed correctly. These wires were for the front passenger airbag therefore; the front passenger airbag would not work if an accident has occurred.
I was driving in heavy traffic taking my wife to work. I was going about 15 to 20 MPH because of morning rush hour traffic in chicago is heavy. I turned my head to answer my wife and being distracted I turned my head back and saw the big SUV in front of me was stopped and I slammed on the brakes and slid into the rear of his SUV. Only a small ding and scratch I seen and my car had the bumper broken, hood bent up, crinkles in side fenders. Even the police could not believe how the car was all damaged at that type speeds and no air bags deployed. Anyway I was told probably I was going too slow and slid into the vehicle in front and maybe there is a certain force to make them blow off. I got a little over $5000 damage. Like the car is as thin as a pop can and no air bags deployed. The body shop when they repair it is going to check the air bag system... I called nissan and they claim a supervisor will be calling me back in a few days... *tr
I had a severe accident with my 2014 nissan rogue AWD which almost killed me and my entire family. It was a miracle that we are alive. However my wife has some injury on the neck....updated 10/20/14 *bf on 9/28 early morning, we were driving (in middle lane) on freeway (I-5 - southbound) at a normal speed and all of sudden I heard a big sound in the front of the car. I was alert but before I could react, the next moment my car rolled on the passenger side and then upside down (on the front hood and front part of the roof) and got dragged and at the same time turned. Finally the back of my car hit the curb with full force and then it rested on the passenger side (between exit 109 and 108) but now it was facing northbound. I broke the windshield to come out and with the help from passersby; I could safely bring my wife and 3 year old out of the car. All these happened so quickly but I remember what happened as I did not blackout. Neither my car hit any other car nor did anything hit my car. And luckily there was no truck or car following us. It's a brand new 2014 nissan rogue which I bought in jan 2014. I still cannot understand how…

How far this goes
This page is kept out of search results because 80 reports is not enough to publish percentiles from. It stays reachable because somebody looking at this exact car would rather see the reports than be told there are none.
Complaints are voluntary, so 80 is a floor and not a count of affected cars. Mileages are typed in by owners and cluster on round numbers. And the mode itself is assigned by software reading the complaint text, which is reliable in bulk and fallible one report at a time.
Questions this page answers
At what mileage does unclassified problem happen on the 2014 Nissan Rogue?
Across 43 owner reports that included an odometer reading, half were filed by 35,000 miles. A quarter were filed before 12,500 miles and a quarter after 60,000 miles. These are the mileages owners reported when they complained, not a prediction for any individual car.
How common is unclassified problem on the 2014 Nissan Rogue?
80 reports have been filed with NHTSA, about 0.4 per 1,000 vehicles. Complaints are voluntary, so this is a floor rather than a count of affected cars.
What this is and is not. These are the mileages at which owners chose to complain to a federal agency, which is not the same as the mileage at which the part fails on every car. It skews toward failures that happened outside warranty, cost real money, or frightened someone. It is still the only public dataset that carries failure mileage at all, and the shape of a few hundred readings is informative even when a single one is not.
