What the Record Actually Says
Power train dominates the complaints, and the fire count is high relative to the size of the file.
Only two recall campaigns exist for this year, both electrical, and neither addresses the category owners filed about most. The recall record is close to silent here; the complaint record is not.
What NHTSA Has on File for the 2010 Nissan Rogue
Two federal record sets cover this vehicle, and they answer different questions. Recall campaigns are actions a manufacturer was required to take. Complaints are what owners reported on their own. Both were pulled on 2026-09-09.
Across those complaints owners recorded 10 injuries and 0 deaths. Those figures come from the complaint forms themselves; NHTSA publishes them without adjudicating whether the vehicle caused the outcome.
What to Check on a Used 2010 Rogue
Written against this model year's own complaint pattern rather than a generic used-car checklist.
Drive it under sustained load — a long incline, or motorway acceleration held for a while. Power train complaints on this vehicle describe behaviour that emerges with heat and time rather than at idle.
Vehicle speed control runs second. Confirm the car holds a set speed without hunting and that throttle response is proportionate rather than delayed then sudden.
Given the fire reports in this file, look for scorching, melted insulation or replaced looms in the engine bay, and treat any smell of hot plastic on the test drive as a reason to stop rather than a quirk.

What This Page Cannot Tell You
Everything above describes roughly 282 reports about the 2010 Nissan Rogue as a model year. None of it describes the car in the advert.
Whether this particular car carries a branded title — salvage, flood, junk, lemon-law buyback or rebuilt. Two identical trucks can differ entirely on this, and it is the finding that most often ends a sale.
Whether an insurer ever declared it a total loss, or whether it passed through a salvage auction.
Whether the odometer reading climbs consistently across its title transfers and inspections, or stalls and drops.
How many owners it has had and which states it lived in — a long chain of quick out-of-state transfers is its own warning.
Those come from NMVTIS, the federal title database, and they are keyed to the VIN rather than to the model. Running the number is free on this page.
