2010 Nissan Rogue Review: Unreliable & Weak Compact SUV With High Ownership Costs

Alex Showalter
Sep 2, 2022

The 2010 Nissan Rogue only lasts around 150,000 miles with some serious transmission and engine issues. At $6,621 to $7,142 it’s cheap, but not worth the money when it’ll take thousands to fix it when it breaks.

The suspension is smoother than other small SUVs, the seats are very comfortable and the suspension is smooth.
dislikeFilled The Bad
Transmission problems are widespread, there’s less cargo space than other compact SUVs and visibility is poor with the large rear pillars.

Is the 2010 Nissan Rogue a Good Used SUV?

  • No, 2010 is a bad year for the Rogue with a low overall score of 5/10. Owners complain about issues with the transmission, costly repairs, and a cramped cabin.
  • Interior materials are better than other compact SUVs getting a high interior quality rating of 8/10. The cloth and leather used throughout the cabin are durable, and the stereo system has more features than other SUVs.
  • Reliability ratings are terrible, getting a low rating of 4/10. We recommend buyers avoid models from 20082016 which all suffer from serious mechanical issues, and go with a 20172020.
  • Performance is poor from the standard 4-cylinder engine, and it’s not very exciting to drive.
  • The Rogue is reasonably safe, earning an overall rating of 4-stars in government crash tests with 4-stars in frontal impact tests and rollover risk.
  • Fuel economy is better than some other compact SUVs at around 24 MPG, which should get owners about 381 miles of range out of the 15.9 gallon gas tank. Fuel costs are $22 lower than average at $215/month for a Rogue that drives 15,000 mils per year.

I'm loving it and don't want to replace
Love this car. I have 76,000 miles and has been the first vehicle I've had this long and with the most miles. I usually am ready to replace right away, but can't let go of this car. Only issue is visibility is hard when backing up due to not being able to really see outback side window.

Nissan Rogue is a car for life
My vehicle has not had any major issues since my purchase. There was a minor recall that the manufacturer handled free of charge. I've had to replace an airbag sensor. This rogue is comfortable and reliable. Perfect for local travel and long distance traveling.

The car is Roomy but not too big
I've only had my car a few months but it's been great! It's roomy but doesn't feel too big or intimidating to drive. Having a key fob is the best to not have to dig for my keys in my purse. For a bigger car it breaks easily and quickly. The speakers are the best I've ever had in a car. The back seat is roomy enough for my male friends to not feel squished and the trunk space is great to carry all my supplies that are needed for work! I haven't been able to drive it in the snow yet but it has done very well in the rain.

Great longtime car and perfect for first time drivers.
Nissan rogue is the perfect midsize, no too big to handle not to small as in low to the ground. Absolutely love the drive, really smooth rides even on not so smooth terrain. Pretty gas efficient, does not take much to fill up on mid. Extremely comfortable seating and perfect room in backseat, even putting the seats down adds extra cargo space.

It's safe for my kids, the open unlock button of the door is perfect.
I love my Nissan rogue SUV car, it's perfect for my family, the seats are comfortable, we actually drove this car from Mississippi to Pensacola,FL and no problem at all, the driver seat is comfortable to drive. We might buy another SUV with this brand again. The engine is perfect.

A Nissan in every garage.
Being our second SUV, we looked into the Rogue and found it to be worth the investment. Size, ease of driving and reliability are all in favor of the consumer. We would recommend a Nissan to anyone who wants a great vehicle.

Don't waste your money buy a different mid size ..
The transmission is going and apparently it is a common issue with the 2010. There is no recall my car will not accelerate or move after stop lights it's scary dangerous and expensive I have less than 100k in miles

It has never broke down besides when my abs break broke.
The transmission in my 2010 Nissan rogue AWD slips, and I have only had it for almost 4 months. The vehicle is not that reliable at all. I would not recommend this vehicle to anybody because it is horrible. Also the abs break broke off in my rotors and it made my back right tire spin going anywhere and didn't matter how fast.

Be warned! Airbag issue costly repair
I have a 2010 Rogue that I love. However, recently the passenger occupancy sensor went bad causing the airbag light to come on. The cost to fix this was over $2,000! The service manager at the Nissan dealership told me to contact Nissan and was pretty confident that Nissan would help with repair costs as other year model Rogues have been recalled for this same problem. I was simply told by customer service that it was out of warranty and they wouldn't help. End of discussion. This is a safety issue, not a maintenance issue. I will soon buy a new car, but at this point I've bought my last Nissan.

Do not buy older nissan rogues with the original CVT engine
The vehicle has poor horsepower and on hot days when driving for more than 20 minutes the CVT engine will overheat and enter power saving mode, thereby causing a drastic decrease in acceleration. This is both dangerous when on the highway and frustrating.

Nothing interesting. But nice attractive ride.
Doesn't switch gear at correct rpms. No rear cab interior light, no heat & a/c vents in 2nd row seating. Transmission slipping. I wouldn't suggest this AWD except during winter due to its low gears.

Not satisfied customer of Rogue.
2. 4 liter is too small of engine for the Rogue. No power nor torque. Did well in snow last winter. No 2nd row vents and no cab lights in rear hatch. Overall nice vehicle easy on the eyes, but I wouldn't suggest a purchase for anyone nor myself. Also the stereo is not very efficient and has to redo a/c twice. My friend owns a 2013 she also had to fix a/c compressor.

It is not very good I should just get a new car.
The engine has been giving me problems and I've taken it to a mechanic many times and there's still problems. V4 engine makes it a struggle to get up hills. Plenty of room for groceries and stuff.

What Do Critics Say About the Nissan Rogue?

  • Consumer Reports says the Nissan Rogue has limited cargo space and poor visibility, with very low owner satisfaction scores.
  • Edmunds gives the Nissan Rogue a 4.1/5, praising the smooth suspension, but doesn’t like the excessive noise from the transmission.
  • Kelley Blue Book users rate the Rogue 4.2/5 and enjoy the responsive steering, but owners don’t like the high ownership costs compared to other small SUVs.

What Common Problems Does the 2010 Nissan Rogue Have?

Common problems found on the 2010 Nissan Rogue include transmission failures, slow acceleration, and premature brake wear with a lot of rust. Overall, these problems are more severe than other SUVs from 2010, and the costs to repair the issues are high.

Transmission failures are the most widespread complaint from owners at around 125,000 miles. The CVT transmission is a known weak spot across many Nissan vehicles and when it fails it has to be replaced. Changing it out for a new unit costs over $3,500.

Slow acceleration is another issue reported by owners at around 80,000 miles. The problem is usually caused by throttle body issues. Usually, the throttle body has to be replaced, costing around $600, depending on local labor rates.

Premature brake wear with a lot of rust also shows up on a lot of Nissan Rogue models at around 65,000 miles. The rotors and pads wear out quicker than on other vehicles and have to be replaced. Changing out the pads is about $250, and a new set of rotors is an additional $450.

There are 2 recalls, which is better than other compact SUVs from 2010. The most serious recall is for an electrical short which could cause a fire. Nissan will replace a connector to prevent the cable from shorting out. The other recall covers the navigation system, and is not as big of an issue.

How Long Will the 2010 Nissan Rogue Last?

A well-maintained 2010 Nissan Rogue will only last around 150,000 miles, giving it a poor durability score of 4/10. The Rogue only lasts half as long as top-rated competitors like the Toyota RAV4. Regular annual maintenance costs are more expensive than other compact SUVs, according to Repair Pal, at $556 per year.

Since most 2010 Nissan Rogue models will have over 100,000 miles buyers should be prepared to replace items including the wheel hub for $450, the axle shaft seal costing $300, and the crankshaft position sensor, which costs $250.

We change the oil every 3000 miles and let the car warm up for about 5 minutes in morning before heading out. Our mechanic can't believe how little maintenance is needed!

How Does the Nissan Rogue Compare to the Competition?

The Nissan Rogue is a bad compact SUV simply because they are unreliable and expensive to own, making 20082016 years that buyers should avoid.

The Chevy Equinox is another SUV which is about $200 cheaper. Performance is better in the Chevy Equinox with the optional V6 engine, but the Nissan Rogue has a higher-quality interior. We recommend avoiding both the Chevy Equinox and Nissan Rogue for 2010 since they both suffer from serious mechanical problems.

The Honda CR-V is another competitor which costs about $3,000 more. Technology and performance are both better in the Honda CR-V, but the Nissan Rogue has a more comfortable interior. We recommend the Honda CR-V since there are fewer complaints from owners.

Dependable, sturdy vehicle for around town and some light four-wheeling.
Our rogue has been dependable and useful vehicle for 10 years. No major issues excluding a recall for transmission problem. It was fixed and we have had no problems since. It has a lot of space for a vehicle it is size. The one seat fold-down is also a nice feature. It is the perfect height for me to enter and exit comfortably. The only two issues are the position of windows do not give a clear view to see all around the car and the console compartment is not placed well for easy access from the front seat.

Dependable vehicle for long term ownership.
I have had my 2010 Nissan rogue for a few years now. It drives smooth; however, the tires can sound rather loud inside of the vehicle. The seats are spacious and comfortable. It is relatively easy to clean. I like having the hatchback trunk, as it is easy to load groceries. It is pretty low-maintenance and does not require much upkeep. The backseat is able to seat three people comfortably for long drives and there are cup holders and a/c vents for those passengers. It does have a space for the spare tire and tools, located under the floor panel of the trunk. The back seats are able to be laid down rather flat, if you are moving or transporting a larger item.

Good vehicle for driving short distances
The 2010 Nissan Rogue is lacking features. There isn't even power seats. The sunroof is nice. The cabin is slightly cramped but not the smallest cabin I've seen. This particular year rogue has a flaw in the throttle that causes the accelerator to stop working when driving on the highway. It's a scary situation to be in and very annoying. The only fix is to pull over and shut the engine off for at least 20 minutes. It's pretty inconvenient when you're trying to get somewhere.

Nonetheless I do not have really like it that much if is to plane inside not much features. It is just regular no back cameras do not like it at all. I have to install my own Bluetooth radio it did not come with one and also camera. It is just simply. If you are looking for future rogue is not it.

The Nissan Rogue is a vehicle suitable for a family or for an individual.
I really like my Nissan Rogue. The gas mileage is good and the design is sleek and modern. The seating is very roomy. Lowering the seats for hauling cargo is easy and when seats are down there is much room for cargo. The ride is smooth.

The gas mileage is very good and the car is very reliable.
I love that I have had almost no problems with it in having it for two years. It is spacious and gets good gas mileage. I don't believe I have any complaints.

Great, reliable, and smooth car.
The rogue is super reliable and a great car. I have had it is for about 6 years now and have had minimal issues. It is comfortable, roomy, and rides smoothly. I think it is a great size. My car is pretty basic in terms of bells and whistles, but it does have a rearview mirror camera which I find very helpful.

The Rogue is a nice mid-sized SUV.
I purchased my car used from a dealer when it was about 6 years old with 75000-80000 miles on it. The car tends to make a lot of noise, mainly coming from the rear of the car. There seems to be some "lag" when driving it as well and this has been going on since not long after I purchased it.

Powerful yet reliable, my rogue is great even after 10 years.
I purchased my vehicle brand new. My car has proven itself to be very reliable for the past 10 years. After normal wear and tear nothing major has needed repair. The car is now showing signs of deterioration but fixable. With proper maintenance, I believe this car will last another 10 years.

The rogue is all about function over fashion.
Good performance as long as maintenance is kept, and depending on the stress put on the vehicle daily. Only issues have been with brakes and that was due to the driver. Its very comfortable to drive in and spacious enough if needed for a family. Additionally, if you are active there is enough space to have whatever you need for activities.

Low maintenance and a good looking vehicle.
It gets great gas mileage. The only thing I have had to do to it is change the oil and replace the tires. The a/c and heat and heated seats are great and the leather interior is still like brand new even though it is 9 years old. The paint has held up very well. The navigation system and the backup features are a great feature also.

This car has served me well for over 4 years, I got it used and it has been great. No issues with it.
I got this as a second hand vehicle. I wish that it had a sunroof. The storage space is OK. I like the bluetooth connection, XM radio hookup, 6 disc cd changer. Drives great!

I still love my 2010 Nissan Rogue after all these years!
I love the Nissan Rogue. I have had very little problems with it. We bought it new. I love the leather seats and the car is so roomy. It has 137, 000 miles and it still rides so smooth. The only thing we have had to replace is the front wheel bearing. We are going to buy another Nissan roger in the next few months. . .

The backup camera is located in the rear view mirror which is pretty neat.
My Nissan Rogue drives great in the snow. Never was stuck in the snow. The seats are comfortable especially for long drives. The speed pickup is ok for what it is. Oil changes are easy to do on it. The backup camera is awesome and makes backing up easy.

Pearl white, 2010 Nissan rogue, wet dog.
I personally enjoy driving vehicles that are higher off the ground as I am short and feel more comfortable with a top view of the road. My vehicle, a 2010 Nissan rogue, is the perfect height. I also like my vehicle’s interior carpeting. I feel the interior is relatively comfortable and I am able to keep the carpeting clean easily. I have a few complaints about this vehicle. I do not feel this vehicle drives smoothly on the freeway. My vehicle will veer off to the right if I do not hold the steering wheel very tightly when I am driving at a high speed. I feel this may be due to the frame of the wheels. Additionally, I really do not like my vehicle’s air conditioning system during the very hot summer months of Arizona. I feel it takes a very long time for the air coming out to be cold. Lastly, my vehicle was previously owned by another individual who had dogs and no matter how many times I spray cleaner into the air vents I can still smell a wet dog smell during the hot summer months. During the summer when you want the air to be blowing this smell is unpleasant. Overall, I still like my vehicle. I think the pearl color is nice especially since it keeps the car cooler than a black car would in a hot state like Arizona. Lastly, I think the size is perfect for a single individual with friends to transport or a married individual with children to transport.
