Nissan Rogue electrical problems, 2016–2026
592 of the 4,151 complaints owners filed with NHTSA about the Nissan Rogue 2016–2026 name the electrical system (NHTSA’s “Electrical System” heading — wiring, modules, batteries, charging, infotainment and driver displays — NHTSA's broadest heading). The loudest years: 2016 (125), 2018 (113), 2017 (87). Filed under the same heading across these years: 9 manufacturer bulletins, 3 recall campaigns, 1 NHTSA investigation. Every figure is a linked federal record; none is a failure rate, none a repair cost, and none a verdict on one car.

Two things the counts carry that are not the car: how many of each year were sold, and how long each has been on the road — an older year out-counts a newer one before anything is wrong with it. The share column is the honest comparison across years: what part of that year’s complaints named the electrical system. Nothing here is a rate.
When the electrical complaints were filed, and at what mileage
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseFiled per calendar year, every model year together: 2016: 1 · 2017: 6 · 2018: 20 · 2019: 56 · 2020: 43 · 2021: 38 · 2022: 81 · 2023: 87 · 2024: 51 · 2025: 102 · 2026: 107
Across the model years, half of the 208 owners who gave an odometer reading reported the electrical problem between 8,000 and 60,000 miles. A median of reports, not the life of a part.
In owners’ own words

Our 2016 Nissan Rogue randomly blows ICE cold air when the heater control is set for heat. Looking online I have found numerous complaints about the same problem
Car does not go into gear. Slips out of gear when driving. Will not accelerate after stopping. It revs up and then accelerates quickly almost causing me to hit the car in front of me
The car would not start after it rained all day. I had it towed from my job at Walmart to Firestone and they said it was an electrical problem and that I need to have it towed to the Dealership .So I had it towed to the Dealership and they called me the next day and said it was an engine Harness.
The contact owns a 2018 Nissan Rogue Sport.

The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic.
The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue Sport. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle failed to accelerate as needed. The contact depressed the accelerator pedal, but the vehicle failed to respond and was unable to merge into traffic. The contact stated that the vehicle shifted from drive without driver input.
