No-start or intermittent start failure on the 2017 Nissan Rogue

Only 2 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 no-start or intermittent start failure gets reported

There are 2 reports of no-start or intermittent start failure on the 2017 Nissan Rogue, 2 with a mileage attached. That is too few to place the failure on the odometer with any confidence.

A part like this is normally expected to survive 88,000 miles. It is the 50th most-reported problem on this model year.

The whole distribution

Percentiles of the 2 odometer readings owners gave.
10th25thMedian 75th90th
— — 18,450 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

Putting it right typically runs $200–$1,800 at an independent US shop. That range is an editorial estimate held in this site's failure-mode catalogue, not a figure from NHTSA, and it is a repair cost rather than a diagnosis cost.

The same failure on other years

The same failure is reported on 11 model years of this car. It shows up earliest on the 2025, at a median of 500 miles, and latest on the 2013 at 125,000 miles.

By volume the 2014 carries the most reports, with 13; the 2017 has 0. 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 initially would not start on 1/17/18 while parked. I called nissan roadside and they sent a tow truck a few hours later. Vehicle was unable to be jumped. Towed to the dealership. They could not duplicate the issue. I got the vehicle back several days later and the problem occurred again. I was at work so I waited on calling for a tow and when I went back out it turned over. In march, I had the same problem and the vehicle was again stationary and could not be jumped so it was towed. The dealer told me they could not find an issue so I took the car back. On 8/18/18 I was on the interstate when I felt the car seem to lose power and heard a whining or whistling noise which I initially thought was a window slightly open. I got off the interstate and parked in the closest area I could. The vehicle would not start and I again called nissan roadside. The dealer had the vehicle for 2-3 weeks and again returned it telling me it was ok. On 9/11/18 I went to get lunch and the vehicle stopped working in a parking lot. I took video on 9/11/18 of the problem and again had to be towed and find a ride home (1 hour from home). Now I am…

11,900 miles NHTSA complaint 1500563 filed 2018-09-20

This car was purchased on 8-30-18, and on 9-4-18, the car would not start. I had to get a jump and then leave it on the charger for hours before the car would start. The car clicker did not work and the trunk lifter feature would not work. When the car did start it gave a malfunction notice in the dashboard. Also, the car makes a noise when driving on the highway. The car was taken back to the dealer but they would not allow me to return the car as I did not feel safe or comfortable with the car due to these concerns. They attempted to resolve the matter by changing the battery in the car clicker. But the matter is not resolved and they are unwilling to service me as I only had the car for less than a week before these problems began since the car has in my possession. They would not allow me to return the car. Therefore, I had to take the car back with me. It has been parked ever since. I do not feel comfortable at all to drive this vehicle as I drive a lot and need a car that is dependable, safe, and reliable.

How far this goes

This page is kept out of search results because 2 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 2 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 no-start or intermittent start failure happen on the 2017 Nissan Rogue?

Across 2 owner reports that included an odometer reading, half were filed by 20,000 miles. A quarter were filed before — and a quarter after —. These are the mileages owners reported when they complained, not a prediction for any individual car.

How common is no-start or intermittent start failure on the 2017 Nissan Rogue?

2 reports have been filed with NHTSA, about 0.0 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.
