Other driver assistance problem on the 2017 Nissan Rogue
6 crashes 5 injuries 11 of the 68 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.
When other driver assistance problem gets reported
Owners of the 2017 Nissan Rogue report other driver assistance problem at a median of 22,500 miles. A quarter of the reports come in before 5,000 miles and a quarter after 45,000 miles, from 29 reports that carried an odometer reading.
A part like this is normally expected to survive 45,000 miles. It is the 3rd most-reported problem on this model year.
The mileage distribution
The reported range runs from 2,500 miles at the tenth percentile to 60,000 miles at the ninetieth, a spread of 57,792 miles across the middle 80% of reports.
A window that narrow is the signature of a part that fails on its own schedule rather than on how the car is driven — which is usually a design or supplier problem rather than wear and tear.
72% of the dated reports were filed under 36,000 miles.
The whole distribution
| 10th | 25th | Median | 75th | 90th |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2,300 miles | 6,150 miles | 23,262 miles | 44,000 miles | 60,092 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, 6 a crash and 5 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.
Putting it right typically runs $250–$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 15 model years of this car. It shows up earliest on the 2015, at a median of 2,200 miles, and latest on the 2022 at 110,000 miles.
By volume the 2018 carries the most reports, with 162; the 2017 has 68. 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 traveling on a road that goes under a bridge on I-275. The front camera system mistook the bridge for an object on the road and activated the brakes. The car braked on its own. The car did this on two separate occasions and was taken to the dealer on both occasions. On the 2nd occasion nissan engineering declared the system worked as intended. The vehicle was within its lane of travel when approaching the bridge.
Yesterday, whilst driving at 30 MPH the forward emergency braking system activated. No cars, pedestrians or objects were in front of vehicle. Road was level and car traveling straight. Display in centre of dash indicated " malfunction" car pulled to side of road, shut down and restarted. No other signs of problems. No objects of any sort were in front of vehicle.
On october 11, 2017, the vehicle's 'intelligent safety shield' feature cause the vehicle to unexpectedly brake while moving at approximately 65 MPH on the interstate 10 freeway. This malfunction nearly caused a serious accident which could have resulted in serious injuries. We immediately contacted the nissan dealer and they did have the vehicle towed to their service department for inspection. They have had the vehicle for approximately 1 week and are now contacting us requesting that we pick up the vehicle, despite the fact that they have not repaired the vehicle or even know 'exactly what the problem is' in their own words.

How far this goes
Complaints are voluntary, so 68 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.

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.
