No Nissan Rogue Sport model year stands out from the others in NHTSA owner complaints. The typical Nissan Rogue Sport year has 66 complaints on file. The busiest year is the 2019 (100).
What are the best Nissan Rogue Sport years?
The Nissan Rogue Sport years with the fewest complaints on file are the 2022 (12), 2021 (35) and 2020 (58). Model years after 2023 are left out: they have not been on the road long enough to compare.
NHTSA does not publish sales figures, so these are complaint counts, not a rate per car on the road. A year that sold more cars collects more complaints, and older years have had longer to collect them.
