Configuration applicability

Unresolved · not yet pinned

This model year was built in 4 reviewed configurations (2.5L All-Wheel Drive; 2.5L Front-Wheel Drive; 2L All-Wheel Drive; 2L Front-Wheel Drive); configuration-scoped findings can differ between them.

To verify: Enter the VIN, or read the engine/drivetrain from the door-jamb label or window sticker, to pin the exact configuration.

Ownership headache outlook

A responsible candidate scenario cannot be calculated until the missing evidence dimensions are resolved.

Most inspection-relevant: False Automatic Emergency Braking investigation — this is the issue to focus the pre-purchase inspection on.

What each horizon reaches

  • 1 yrAbout 12,000 mi — before every named onset band.
  • 3 yr (yours)About 36,000 mi — reaches the observed onset band for False Automatic Emergency Braking investigation, which your window is inside.
  • 5 yrAbout 60,000 mi — reaches the observed onset band for False Automatic Emergency Braking investigation, which your window is inside.
12,000 annual miles · 3-year ownership horizon · Service history is unknown unless verified by the buyer. These are observed report bands, not failure probabilities.

Whole generationSingle sourceEvidence: Limited confidence

The cited record is bound to model year 2017; no broader incidence claim is made.

False Automatic Emergency Braking NHTSA received a letter from the Center for Auto Safety (CAS) on March 21, 2019 alleging that the Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system on Model Year (MY) 2017-2018 Nissan Rogue and Rogue Sport vehicles was engaging in cases where there was no
Why it matters
The official record describes a potential crash, fire, injury, or loss-of-control consequence.

Observed complaint mileage band; not an incidence probability

Reported onset roughly 24,00024,000 mi (median 24,000 mi).

Your window enters the onset band.

Based on 2 usable reports (2 censored). Complaint mileage is an observed report band, not a population incidence estimate.

What to inspect

  • Check the VIN for open NHTSA actions, then ask the inspector to test the named system and document the result.

Pro check: Independent pre-purchase inspection.

Mitigation

  • Treat the official record as a targeted inspection lead, not proof that this candidate has the condition.

“False Automatic Emergency Braking NHTSA received a letter from the Center for Auto Safety (CAS) on March 21, 2019 alleging that the Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system on Model Year (MY) 2017-2018 Nissan Rogue and Rogue Sport vehicles was engaging in cases where there was no obstruction in the path of the vehicle. The CAS petition additionally alleged that, based on Nissan's actions, the manufacturer was aware of the issue due to issuing a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) launching two Quality Actions, and initiation of a Customer Service Initiative in relation to it. CAS contended that Nissan's actions do not represent an adequate long-term solution to the problem, as the action is only available during the basic coverage period of the warranty. CAS also argued that the alleged failures are an unreasonable risk to safety and views Nissan's communications as not acknowledging the potential safety issue involved, instead treating the alleged problem as a performance update.The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) analyzed Vehicle Owner Questionnaire (VOQ) complaints received from consumers and identified a total of 129 unique subject vehicle reports (for all submission dates) alleging a false positive triggering of AEB. Of these complaints, three were identified that contained allegations of a collision resulting from the activation of the system, and all three indicating related injuries.In response to ODI's April 15, 2019 Information Request letter, Nissan provided data indicating that it has received 750 unique subject vehicle complaints relating to false positive activation of the AEB system. Of these complaints, 12 were identified that contained allegations of a collision resulting from the activation of the system. Four complaints contained allegations of injuries, three of which were the result of a collision. These complaints included duplicates of complaints that ODI received. The injury allegations were limited to soft tissue type injuries such as whiplash and bruising.Based on its review of the information identified to date, ODI grants this petition and has opened preliminary evaluation PE19-010 in order to evaluate the cause, scope and frequency of AEB false positive activations, as well as to evaluate the suitability of the manufacturer's campaign to address the concern or improve performance of the AEB system.

What would change this answer

verified remedy

A newly verified completed remedy with configuration-specific eligibility for False Automatic Emergency Braking investigation could improve the recommendation.

contradictory source

A reviewed official or independent source that materially contradicts the claims for False Automatic Emergency Braking investigation would force confidence and verdict review.

changed applicability

Reviewed evidence that includes or excludes a different year, engine, drivetrain, trim, or VIN population would change which issues apply.

lost exposure eligibility

A verified production denominator and eligible time-at-risk cohort are required before normalized comparative year guidance can strengthen.

Applied assumptions

  • · 12,000 annual miles
  • · 3-year ownership horizon
  • · Service history is unknown unless verified by the buyer.

Sharpen it further

  • Add mileage — it places the onset bands against your ownership window.
  • Add the asking price — it weighs the findings against what you would pay.
  • Set your annual miles — assumed 12,000; it sizes the window.
  • Choose a horizon — assumed 3 years; it sets the window length.

What we could not verify

Every dimension is listed — including the ones we do not have — each with the concrete next step to close it.

  • ConfigurationPartial

    This model year was built in 4 reviewed configurations (2.5L All-Wheel Drive; 2.5L Front-Wheel Drive; 2L All-Wheel Drive; 2L Front-Wheel Drive); configuration-scoped findings can differ between them.

    Next: Enter the VIN, or read the engine/drivetrain from the door-jamb label or window sticker, to pin the exact configuration.

  • VIN recall & historyNot verified

    A VIN recall check was not handed to this page, so recall status and title/odometer history for this exact car are unchecked.

    Next: Run this VIN on NHTSA’s recall lookup and request a title/history report to confirm open recalls and past events.

  • Repair costNot verified

    No sourced repair-cost range is available for the named issues in this release.

    Next: Get a written repair estimate for the named issue from an independent shop before you negotiate.

  • Market price contextNot verified

    No asking price was entered and no licensed market-value feed is integrated, so price fairness is not assessed.

    Next: Compare the asking price against recent local listings for the same year and configuration.

  • Onset evidencePartial

    Onset bands rest on a limited number of usable reports; treat the band edges as approximate.

    Next: Weigh the onset band as a reported-onset range, not a failure probability, and confirm condition by inspection.

Coverage & methodology

Evidence: Insufficient— A required evidence dimension is missing.

6 of 5 expected sources present · methodology m1-v4-authority-cohort.

  • · Public complaints and recalls do not estimate failure probability.
  • · Observed mileage bands describe reported onset only.
