Nissan Rogue

Where it stands out against its peers

• Service brakes: more complaints than 97% of 2018 cars — 42% of its 609 complaints, where an ordinary 2018 car has 10%.
• Forward collision avoidance: more complaints than 99% of 2018 cars — 26% of its 609 complaints, where an ordinary 2018 car has 3%.

Same model year only, at least 30 peer cars, zeros included. Every car has a worst part; this shows which, and how far from ordinary it is. A high share means more to check, not a verdict.
