2021 Nissan Rogue: what breaks, and at what mileage
What breaks on the 2021 Nissan Rogue
On the 2021 Nissan Rogue, the failure owners report most often is other engine problem, and the reports cluster around 20,000 miles. Across every failure mode on this year, half the dated reports were filed before 30,000 miles. Overall it scores 78 out of 100, severe risk for a 2021.
Severe risk for a 2021 — 67th riskiest of the 231 2021 vehicles we can rate. 430 owner reports; fleet size estimated from this year's own recall paperwork.
The failures owners actually file about
Owners have reported 71 named failure modes on the 2021 Nissan Rogue, and the three most-reported carry 25% of everything filed, which is an unusually even spread for one model year.
Other engine problem leads with 37 reports, about 0.8 per 1,000 vehicles and with the middle half of reports between 2k to 90,000 miles.
Other driver assistance problem follows with 36 reports, median 5,000 miles.
Other electrical problem follows with 33 reports, median 5,000 miles. 2 of those reports mention a fire.
By system, the reports fall mostly into engine (62), adas (61) and electrical (51).
The mileage the reports cluster at
85 of the reports on the 2021 Nissan Rogue came with an odometer reading, and half of those were filed before 30,000 miles.
Cumulatively, 61% by 50,000 miles, 87% by 100,000 miles and 96% by 150,000 miles of the dated reports had been filed.
The busiest stretch is between 0 and 10,000 miles, which alone holds 35% of the dated reports.
51% 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.

How bad it is when it goes
Across the named modes, 35 mention a crash, 5 a fire and 14 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 4.26, 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 engine problem at $300–$4,000, other driver assistance problem at $250–$1,800, other electrical problem at $250–$2,000 and other body or interior problem at $200–$2,000. Dealer labour, a seized bolt or a part that is no longer made can push any of these past the top of its range.
23% 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 2021 Nissan Rogue draws about 9.1 per 1,000 vehicles, which puts it in the 90th percentile of complaint rates among 2021 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 47,098 vehicles. If the true number is twice that, every rate on this page is half what it says; the ranking against other 2021 vehicles, which is what the risk score uses, is far more robust than the rate itself.
Recalls on the 2021 model year
NHTSA has issued 10 recall campaigns covering the 2021 Nissan Rogue, affecting an estimated 140,239 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 engine and engine cooling:engine:hard parts internal/mechani, service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:disc:caliper, back over prevention:display function and seat belts: rear/other:buckle assembly. 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.

How it ranks in the 2021 field
The score at the top of the page, placed among its peers. The zones are the same thresholds the scorer applies, read out of the scorer itself, so the picture and the band word cannot disagree.
Scores are ranked within the model year, never across years, because an older car has had longer to accumulate reports.
- Left fewer and less serious reports
- Right more, or worse
- Marker this vehicle
Where 2021 sits in the model line
Severe risk for a 2021 — 67th riskiest of the 231 2021 vehicles we can rate. Because the ranking is against the same model year only, age cancels out of it.
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 2021 itself at 78.
If the model year is negotiable, 2025, 2022, 2009, 2008, 2024, 2010, 2012, 2016, 2011, 2014, 2013, 2026, 2015, 2020 and 2023 score lower than 2021 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 2021–2023 generation specifically, 2022 is the strongest year at 69 and 2021 the weakest at 78.
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 2021-2023 generation, 2022 Nissan Rogue scores best at 69 and 2021 Nissan Rogue worst at 78.
What the numbers say to check
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 2k.
On a 2021 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
430 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 430 reports, 85 carried an odometer reading, so the mileages here describe 20% 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 2021 Nissan Rogue?
The most-reported failures are other engine problem (37 reports, median 20,000 miles), other driver assistance problem (36 reports, median 5,000 miles) and other electrical problem (33 reports, median 5,000 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 2021 Nissan Rogue problems start?
Other engine problem is the earliest failure mode to show up, with a median reported mileage of 20,000 miles and a quarter of reports before 2,000 miles. Across all failure modes on this year, the median report sits at 30,000 miles.
Is the 2021 Nissan Rogue reliable?
