2018 Nissan Rogue: submitted complaint records, vehicle recall campaigns and available complaint component tags. Counts are not failure rates.
Published source snapshot. Check the record scope below before applying these counts to your vehicle.

Source: NHTSA vehicle records, recall and complaint snapshot 2026-10-18. Manufacturer communications retain their separately dated source snapshot. Counts are submitted records, not failure probabilities. One vehicle can appear in several campaigns.

Complaint model names counted: ROGUE. Recall model names counted: ROGUE, ROGUE HYBRID. Complaint records are deduplicated by ODI number; vehicle recalls are counted by distinct campaign number for this year.

Model-year records

What the 2018 record can and cannot say

The 2018 record contains 669 submitted complaints. The median across this model's matched years is 314.5 reports. Neither number accounts for vehicle sales or time on the road. Source names: ROGUE. NHTSA source snapshot: 2026-10-18.

Service Brakes is the most common displayed component tag, with 261 reports (39% of this year's submitted complaints). One complaint can name several components. The share describes reports, not the probability of a failure.

Engine replacement or major internal repair has the highest arithmetic midpoint for parts in the applicable planning estimates, at $8,000 before labor. A paid plan can help only if the component and cause qualify; check existing manufacturer coverage first.

Driver contact with a key in the collapsed position could inadvertently shut off the vehicle while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, if the vehicle shuts off while driving, the air bags may not deploy in a crash as intended, increasing the risk of injury.

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2014-2020 Rogue and 2017-2022 Rogue Sport vehicles equipped with a jackknife style ignition key. The jackknife key may collapse into a folded position while driving.

Evidence for this issue

Transmission

Manufacturer diagnostic procedure2018

CVT judder, hesitation or RPM flare

Nissan's CVT bulletin uses stored codes to separate control-valve faults from transmission-assembly faults.

Nissan published an extensive diagnostic and repair procedure for certain 2018 Rogue vehicles with CVT complaints and specified diagnostic codes. A similar driving sensation can have other causes, so the bulletin expressly requires confirmation rather than automatic transmission replacement.

Symptoms to compare
  • Judder or repeated vibration under acceleration
  • Hesitation or temporary lack of power
  • Engine speed flares without matching acceleration
  • Diagnostic codes stored in the transmission control module

Other ways owners describe it: car shakes when accelerating; transmission stutters; CVT slipping; hesitates from a stop; RPM jumps without speed; feels like driving over rumble strips.

Diagnostic trouble codes: P17F0, P17F1, P0776, P2813. A code identifies a condition to investigate, not a part to replace.

Which vehicles the source covers
  • 2018 Nissan Rogue
  • CVT equipped vehicles
  • Diagnostic code and procedure criteria apply

Because the bulletin is condition and code based, individual owner reports cannot establish a failure probability.

Manufacturer position and diagnosis

Nissan's procedure distinguishes between control valve and transmission assembly repair paths after electronic and physical inspection.

Retrieve codes before clearing themTransmission specialist · Diagnosis before repair

A technician should retrieve TCM codes and follow the bulletin's inspection path. Clearing codes or disconnecting the battery first may remove useful evidence.

Limit: Do not assume that every vibration is a failed CVT.

Record the exact driving conditionBasic observation · One careful test drive

Note the road speed and engine temperature. Then record the throttle condition and whether the symptom starts from rest or at steady speed.

Limit: Stop testing if power loss creates a traffic hazard.

Evidence for this issue

Confirm who pays before authorizing work

A recall remedy follows the campaign and VIN eligibility. A service bulletin provides diagnosis or repair instructions; it does not by itself promise payment. Manufacturer warranty extensions and support programs have their own conditions.

Keep a current problem separate from future coverage

These files do not supply a shop quote. Ask for a diagnosis and written estimate, then check recall remedies or existing coverage. A new vehicle service contract generally excludes pre-existing conditions.

Prepare a useful description for the mechanic →

Each file retains its original source review date. Historical remedy wording can change; check the current manufacturer notice and NHTSA VIN lookup for your vehicle. The separately dated NHTSA counts elsewhere on this page use a different dataset and scope.
