2022 Nissan Rogue problems: engine and transmission complaints and recalls
79% of relevant owner complaints filed with NHTSA on the 2022 Nissan Rogue are about the engine, transmission or fuel system. Well over half of everything owners reported is the drivetrain. That is a severe model-level pattern; every model year we track at this level has a documented failure behind it.
Worse than 97% of the 1,790 model years we track (2010–2023).
Does the 2022 Nissan Rogue have engine problems?
Owner complaints say yes, heavily, as a model-year pattern. 215 of 277 relevant complaints filed with NHTSA about the 2022 Nissan Rogue concern the engine, transmission or fuel system (79%), and the largest group is filed under engine (142). For comparison, the 2021 scores 34% and the 2023 scores 67%. On a test drive, check for stalling, loss of power, rough idle, oil consumption or a check-engine light. This describes the model year, not any one car: a well-maintained or already-repaired example can be fine, and a clean model year can still have a bad car in it.

Should I buy a 2022 Nissan Rogue?
That depends on the car in front of you, not just the model year. The 2022 Nissan Rogue has an elevated engine complaint pattern, so treat it as a car that needs proof: service records showing engine work, a cold-start test drive, and an independent pre-purchase inspection focused on the engine. A well-kept or already-repaired example can be a fine car; an unknown one is a gamble.
