2017 Nissan Rogue Sport

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2017 Rogue Sport.

Body SUVTransmission Automatic (AV-S7)

The 2017 Nissan Rogue Sport entered the SUV market paired with a 7-speed automatic (AV-S7) and EPA fuel economy ratings of 26 mpg city, 30 mpg highway, and 27 mpg combined, putting efficiency and drivability into a single package. Within the owner-complaint record spanning model years 2017 through 2022, this launch year accounts for 72 reports — predominantly tied to the power train — alongside a single recall. Those figures sit closer to the model's quietest year on record, the 11 complaints logged for 2022, than to its high-water mark of 96 in 2019, framing the debut model year as a relatively stable starting point rather than the trough of the Rogue Sport's reliability arc.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 5,000 mi; spark plugs at 105,000 mi; coolant at 105,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 105,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2017 model sits near the peak of the Rogue Sport’s complaint curve, with 72 complaints—higher than the later decline to 35 in 2021 and 11 in 2022. Its recall count (1) is modest, matching the low‑recall years of 2020 and 2022, but it is lower than the 2–3 recalls recorded from 2018 through 2021. Technical Service Bulletins remain relatively high at 128, only dropping noticeably after 2019, indicating that service issues were still being documented during 2017. The dominant complaint categories—Power Train (15), Engine (13), and Electrical System (8)—suggest most problems were mechanical or electrical rather than safety‑critical, and the year saw only three crash‑related and two fire‑related complaints. Overall, 2017 falls at the upper end of the generation’s complaint trend but does not exhibit unusually high recall activity, making it a moderately safe year to consider, though buyers should be aware of the higher incidence of power‑train and electrical concerns.
