Seat belt on other Rogue years
Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them. Model years with too few reports of it for a sheet: 2014, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026.
What this problem usually is
This group covers the belt and the seat it's bolted to: buckles that won't latch or won't let go, belts that lock up and won't pull out, and seats that shift or rock in their tracks. It's a wide bucket, with over 9,000 complaints across the vehicles on this site, and a quarter of them mention a recall.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the buckle (6 reports) and the seat frame or track (5 reports).
Recalls and investigations
2 recalls on the seats cover the 2016 model year. A recall on the same system isn't always the same failure, so read the defect text.
The vehicles have front passenger seat frames that may be improperly welded.
The recliner joints on the lower seat frame for the rear seats may have improper welds.

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 6 of 35 reports involved a crash and 9 people were hurt. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
