Turbo problems 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, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2024, 2025, 2026.
What this problem usually is
Turbo complaints describe an engine that suddenly doesn't pull: power drops away when you press for it, sometimes with a warning light, smoke from the tailpipe or a message about reduced power.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the turbocharger (44 reports).
Recalls and investigations
2 recalls on the engine cover the 2023 model year. A recall on the same system isn't always the same failure, so read the defect text.
Increased temperatures can break down the engine oil, which may cause the engine bearings to seize and become damaged, leading to engine failure.
The engine bearings may have manufacturing defects that can lead to engine failure.

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 0 of 44 reports involved a crash. 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.
