Buying a used 2018 Nissan Rogue? Check these 3 recalls first
Three recalls apply: wiring damage that can stall the engine on hybrid models, a folding key that can switch the vehicle off, and a backup camera image that can stay off. Complaint volume stands out — 609 filings with NHTSA, the highest among these Rogue years, including 253 on service brakes and 161 on forward collision avoidance, plus 32 crashes and 45 injuries. Those filings are unverified owner reports, but the braking and automatic-braking clusters are worth probing.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Confirm whether it is the hybrid; if so, verify the stall-related wiring recall was performed
- Test brake feel and pedal travel hard, since service brakes is by far the largest complaint area
- Shift to reverse several times and confirm the backup camera image appears every time
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Nissan dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
