Owner complaint, filed Aug 26, 2026
“My vehicle was in for recall R22A6 / 22V-549 for the brake booster power supply since the brakes felt spongy and there was a loud ringing sound so we look around a round out about the recall. After the recall repair, all brake codes cleared except C1111 – ABS Pump Motor Failure. The part is still on the vehicle and available for inspection.”

I was adjusting the seat up and it felt like something broke loose and wentkind of sideways, and then the airbag light went on and freaked me out and about wrecked my car. I took it in to get it looked at and apparently the seat breaking loose caused the airbag to come unplugged and they said the rail and frame need replaced. The car doesn’t even have 80,000 miles on it and this is apparently a big problem with these seat frames and rails breaking loose, but yet my car is not part of the recall. It needs to be part of the recall. I think Nissan should help pay for the cost of this stuff. This is a serious safety issue and most people don’t have an extratwo grand to throw down to keep their car safe when it is poor manufacturing.

I am reporting a severe safety hazard regarding unresolved secondary electrical component damage caused directly by the Recall PC934 factory defect on my 2017 Nissan Rogue SL AWD. The vehicle experienced severe moisture entry, heavy rust on the driver-side floorboard, a complete loss of Electronic Power Steering, an inoperable electronic trunk, and a massive parasitic battery drain with visible terminal corrosion. The dealership performed the physical PC934 wiring harness connector swap but left the vehicle completely undrivable with zero power steering assist, claiming the secondary component damage is my out-of-pocket responsibility. Nissan Corporate is actively denying recall assistance for the exact short-circuit failures detailed in their federal recall documentation, posing an immediate physical threat to drivers.

My vehicle is suffering from severe brake safety failures directly caused by federal recall R22A6 (ABS Actuator Thermal Damage). Under heavy stop-and-go conditions in a parking lot, the vehicle's ABS, Slip, and Brake warning lights all illuminated simultaneously, creating an immediate safety hazard on public roads.The problem and specific components have been verified via multiple diagnostic scans. Prior to the recall service, an OBD-II scan at Autozone revealed active codes C1111 (ABS Pump Motor Failure) and C1130, which perfectly match the thermal/electrical failure path of recall R22A6. The defective components are available for inspection upon request.However, Alhambra Nissan dealership merely completed the paperwork for the recall campaign but refused to remedy the actual collateral damage to the ABS pump motor, demanding an additional $240 diagnostic fee instead. Furthermore, immediately after their service, a new code P0113 (Intake Air Temperature Sensor Circuit High) appeared, proving the dealership technician damaged or left an engine sensor unplugged during the recall work. Contacted the dealer for the new code, they insist to do the diagnostic for that issue. Both the dealer and Nissan North America Corporate have ignored my formal safety inquiries and gone completely silent, forcing me to operate an unsafe vehicle.
While going about 30 mph, It was as if someone had slammed the brakes on and brought me to complete stop.

Component: Suspension: Front: Control Arm: Left Lower Arm Description: While operating the vehicle at approximately 5 mph, the left (drivers' side) front lower control arm suffered a catastrophic structural material failure, snapping completely into two parts by the ball joint without warning. The structural failure caused the front wheel assembly to collapse outward, ripping the axle out of the transmission and immediately severing steering control and braking. The vehicle immediately pulled to the left and came to a complete stop. The sudden loss of vehicular control created an immediate, severe safety hazard on a public roadway. Considering that 10 minutes prior, the vehicle was traveling at interstate highway speeds; lives were possibly saved by the failure at the point in time it did fail. The left fender was also damaged and blocked, exiting from the driver's side door. There was also damage to the struts as well as damage to the stabilizer bars on the struts. The axle was also disengaged from the transmission as well. Inspection of the failed component reveals a complete cross-sectional fracture of the metal housing, which represents a severe structural manufacturing or metallurgical defect. The failed component and photographic evidence have been preserved for engineering analysis. The AAA Service Center confirmed the issue in the repair invoice and a secondary email from the service center elaborated on the issue. No other representatives have inspected the component

"The CVT/drivetrain failed completely on May 28, 2026 at approximately 76,000 miles. The vehicle suddenly lost all drive power and came to a stop. Car is parked and completely undriveable. The failed component is the CVT transmission assembly — vehicle is available for inspection. Safety risk: Complete loss of drive power while operating a vehicle creates serious crash risk for driver and others on the road. Prior history: Nissan of Queens performed a CVT warranty repair on May 24, 2023 at 34,595 miles under Technical Service Bulletin NTB16-110Q for DTC P0776 — valve body was replaced. That bulletin requires a borescope inspection of the CVT belt before repair is complete. It is unknown if that inspection was performed. The vehicle passed three consecutive NY State safety inspections: January 2024, February 2025, and March 6, 2026 at 73,553 miles — only 2,546 miles before complete failure. Full maintenance history documented. No owner neglect. No warning lamps appeared before complete failure. Problem has not yet been confirmed by dealer as vehicle has not been towed for diagnosis. Nissan settled a $277.7M class action lawsuit covering 2014-2018 Rogues for this exact CVT defect. Nissan knew about this defect for years and performed an incomplete repair in 2023."

Issue: Garage caught fire. All wood (trusses, joists, walls) were in tact. Estimated in tact amount=99%. The vehicle was completely consumed. The hood melted, plastic, seats, tires consumed. Car was not driven day of incident. Origin was attributed to garage. Cause was undetermined by fire department. Report does not today address the vehicle in any way shape or form. There is no documentation as to what was seen upon removing garage doors. Had the can already been consumed? Did vehicle initially encapsulate the fire prior to moving into garage structure? It is speculated that NHTSA part 573 recall report 22V-875 may be applicable when viewed from design engineering point of view and not strictly to only vehicles addressed by Nissan in that report. There were no prior warnings of any kind that foretold the ensuing events. I am trying to get the fire department to amend report to record stated belief of fire origin (vehicle) which is not today evidenced in the report and as per the stated opinion by one of the fire fighters. I am further insisting that the insurance company assign a forensic expert in evaluating the origin and cause of the fire. Nissan has not been notified to date. I am imploring NHTSA to take this apparent prior documented safety issue further beyond what has been concluded in order to prevent any future safety issues should it so be judged by NHTSA as the authority in these matters.

I am requesting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) investigate a potential defect affecting 2017 Nissan Rogue vehicles involving the sunroof drainage system. My vehicle has experienced repeated issues with the sunroof drain becoming clogged, which causes water to leak into the interior of the vehicle. When the drainage system becomes blocked, water enters the cabin and can soak the headliner, carpeting, electrical components, and other interior areas. This creates the potential for mold growth, electrical malfunctions, visibility issues, and other safety concerns. After researching this problem online, I discovered that many other 2017 Nissan Rogue owners have reported similar complaints involving clogged sunroof drains and water intrusion. The number of reported incidents suggests this may be a widespread design or manufacturing issue rather than normal wear and tear. I believe this condition presents a safety risk because water can damage electrical systems, airbags, sensors, and other critical vehicle components. Owners should not be expected to repeatedly repair a drainage system that appears prone to clogging and causing interior water damage. I respectfully request that NHTSA review consumer complaints regarding this issue and determine whether an investigation and potential recall of affected 2017 Nissan Rogue vehicles is warranted. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Vehicle: 2017 Nissan Rogue VIN: [XXX] Issue: Hood latch / safety latch failure Description of the problem: While opening the fuel door, I accidentally pulled the interior hood‑release lever. The primary hood latch released, but the hood remained mostly closed. I did not realize the hood was unlatched. When I began driving, the hood suddenly flew open. This indicates that the secondary safety latch failed to engage and hold the hood down, which is its intended safety function. . A failure of the secondary hood latches is a serious safety hazard, and the hood opening while driving created an immediate visibility obstruction and risk of a crash. What happened as a result: The hood flew open while the vehicle was in motion, blocking forward visibility. I was able to stop safely, but this could have caused a collision. Frequency: This is the first occurrence, but the latch mechanism may be sticking. Why this is a safety concern: Even if the primary latch is released, the secondary safety latch is specifically designed to prevent the hood from opening while driving. Its failure represents a critical safety defect. Request: Please document this incident and evaluate whether similar failures are occurring on 2017 Nissan Rogue vehicles.

I was driving my 2017 Nissan rogue to work after dropping off my daughters at school and daycare. I was getting on the highway on the entry ramp, as I sped up my car felt like it gave up. I was unable to press my gas as multiple cars were speeding up behind me as I’m getting on the highway. I was unable to use my gas and coasted until I came to a complete stop, still in the middle of a a dangerous newly construction intersection on a highway. My car had always been reliable so this was very sudden and catastrophic. No warnings were given, no slips, no leaks, smells, shuttering or ticking. Nothing to make me think this would happen!! Ultimately, confirmed by Nissan as an internal transmission failure. I maintained my vehicle well. I only do in Town driving. I don’t believe there anything I could’ve done to prolong the use of my transmission, or avoid this. My car has 112k miles. I’m just outside the timeframe, age and miles for Nissans extended warranties on this exact make and model, and goodwill assistance - Despite the known problems. I owe a large amount of money on this car and it being inoperable is really damaging financially. While broke down on the highway, every single car almost hit me from the back when they came on on me fast and realized my hazard lights were on. I will attach pictures. Thanks for reading

My car is a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The transmission is going bad. This started about 3 years into ownership but was not consistent until this recent year. The vehicle will sometimes falter when trying to press the gass peddle from a stopped position which could be very dangerous when trying to cross an intersection or make a turn with no speed. Additionally, there have been many occasions where we e had to pull over due to the gears not shifting correctly. The RPMs skyrocket but the car won't move any faster which is bad for the car and can be dangerous when getting onto the highway etc. Since this has been a known issue for many years (except of course, by me) yet sold to us with no warning of the strong possible this happening, we want Nissan to replace our transmission for free. Of we had been warned ahead of time, we could have chosen a different model or year that doesn't have these problems. Another issue is that the computer in the vehicle does not function properly and several features are useless such as the reading and notification of a text, the car will send the "I am driving" response, not only to the sender of the text but 2 other people in my contacts as well and if a text does get through, it ALWAYS read that it is from my son who no longer has contact with us. As annoying (and hurtful) these issues can be, all I care about is the transmission. i expect to receive a response and a resolution rather quickly as this is not my first attempt to get this fixed

On [XXX], my grandson and I went to the Nissan Dealership, 1777 N. Central Expressway, Richardson, TX 7080 to inquire about a safety recall of the key fob for a 2017 Nissan Rogue. My grandson was told that he could make an appointment for the dealership to insert a block in the fob so the key remains in the extended position. That position is very difficult to carry in a men's pants pocket. It is also a cheap remedy to the problem. As we were driving along the freeway to make a U-turn, the car stopped mid-turn, with oncoming traffic both behind him and in front. He tried to restart the car but it didn't start. He tried again and it finally started. I cannot believe the NHTSA would allow Nissan to treat this safety issue so callously just to save a few dollars. I am now constantly worried for my grandson and regret helping him buy this vehicle to attend college. We purchased the vehicle on [XXX] so we were checking things out.

Shortly after purchasing the vehicle, the airbag warning light illuminated. I took the vehicle to a Nissan dealership in Texas for diagnosis. The technician confirmed that the airbag fault was present before the vehicle was sold to me. According to the diagnostic records, the selling dealer (Kelly Nissan in Oak Lawn, Illinois) had previously scanned the airbag system, identified an airbag fault code, cleared the code without performing the repair, and then proceeded to sell the vehicle. This means the airbag defect existed at the time of sale and was intentionally or negligently undisclosed. The system continues to show a malfunction indicator, and the Clay Cooley Nissan dealership in Richardson, Texas identified the issue as an electrical airbag system failure requiring a repair estimated at $2,304.15. This defect affects the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), which may result in: Airbags failing to deploy during a crash Improper deployment Increased risk of injury or death The vehicle is unsafe to drive in its current condition. The selling dealer refuses to authorize repair outside Illinois, leaving me with an unsafe vehicle that cannot be feasibly transported. Nissan Corporate states this is the dealer's responsibility and will not intervene. Given that this defect relates directly to the federally regulated airbag safety system, I am requesting NHTSA’s investigation into whether this represents a broader issue of airbag system defects or improper clearing of airbag fau

My car caught fire, and it fits the description of the recall from other 2017 rogues but wasn't not listed on the recall list. They are fixing the body harness, and it was an electrical fire

My vehicle was in for recall R22A6 / 22V-549 for the brake booster power supply since the brakes felt spongy and there was a loud ringing sound so we look around a round out about the recall. After the recall repair, all brake codes cleared except C1111 – ABS Pump Motor Failure. The part is still on the vehicle and available for inspection. They told us it was not safe to drive because we have press hard on the brake for the vehicle to stop because the braking system may not function properly, especially during sudden braking or slippery conditions. Nissan has acknowledged the failure through the dealership’s diagnosis. Prior to the recall repair, multiple brake system warning lights were illuminated. Nissan already has an ABS actuator recall (NHTSA Recall 18V-601) on several models from the same years (Murano, Maxima, Pathfinder).

The muffler diffuser , a part of the exhaust system, suddenly and without warning failed as I was driving on the freeway. There were no warnings or indications of a problem until the passenger side joint failed as I was driving but the driver side joint was still attached and sticking out from the back of the car. This happened as I was driving on the freeway and when it happened I just heard a loud rattling sound. Since one side was still attached I was dragging/scraping the metal part on the freeway without realizing it, which could have caused a spark/ fire or if it had broken off completely an accident for myself or others. If it had continued to bend it could have gotten caught up in my wheels or worse. This is a hazard/danger in my opinion. The vehicle hasn’t been inspected by anyone other than my dad as of this moment. He was able to unscrew the diffuser so I could drive the car otherwise the car would have been a giant safety hazard and undriveable. The broken diffuser is still in my possession.

My Door Lock Actuator has failed on my passenger side front seat door. This poses a safety risk potentially trapping my family inside or allowing doors to swing open while driving. I could also think I locked my doors, however it did not lock and can lead to theft. In 2010, a different car I had was stolen and I still have anxiety about this, so this added level of potential theft has increased my anxiety when going places. My local Goodyear repair shop inspected the actuator and advised that it has failed. There were no warnings or messages that were presented when this started occurring. This started summer of 2025 and gets worse as time goes on.

My rear hatch door will not open manually or automatically due to torrential downpour that leaked into the rear hatch door while fully closed and locked. That rain water made its way into the electrical component causing the door to no longer operate or even open. The dealership is aware of the issue with several other vehicles of the same year make and model and have not put a recall out to fix the issue. So here I am, reporting the issue to you now in hopes to get a recall put out there so myself and other 2017 Nissan rogue owners can have the issue resolved. For the record, we have my car serviced every 5,000 miles so there were plenty of opportunities for the dealership to make us aware that there was the 1st issue on this car back in 2021, but they did not tell us or even ask if they could fix a known issue.

I believe the issue is with the transmission by online research. I have had the issue multiple times. The vehicle sometimes hesitates to go when pressing on the gas pedal after being stopped at stop lights. This is a problem mostly when it is very hot outside. I have had multiple close calls when trying to take a right at red lights. I will have plenty of time before another car is coming but I try to go and the car hesitates or barely moves before it actually goes almost causing accidents. I have not been able to get the car to the dealer to try and reproduce the issue and I feel it would be hard to reproduce unless the car was driven for a bit in the heat. There are no codes or warning lights populating.

When car is at a stop I need to press the accelerator all the way down for the car to go. It goes very slow (almost slipping) and feels very dangerous (risk of being rear ended). This started 2/3 weeks ago. My mechanic replaced the transmission fluid after finding metal particles in it. Also mentioned over a quart of transmission fluid was missing. They advised me to get a whole new transmission. I contacted Nissan consumer affair since there is a class action law suit for my Nissan Rogue. Mileage as of today it 84,400 miles. Car is being inspected as we speak. They did not find any code and it passed everything so I have to pay $730 for further inspection.
Automatic emergency braking is malfunctioning. It is available for inspection upon request. The car stops by itself while driving in traffic, putting myself and other drivers at risk. I have brought the vehicle to the dealership twice and they deny the problem. There is no warning leading up to the issue. It is a reoccurring random problem that happens while driving in stop-and-go traffic. When it occurs, the vehicle is paralyzed and I need to shut off the car and restart the car in the middle of traffic. The vehicle started malfunctioning like this approximately 3 years ago and it has become more frequent. It now occurs every time I commute in slow traffic. It is dangerous and there are reports online of many other drivers experiencing the same problem and local news reports.

This car only have mileages of 62014 and is maintained regularly on time. There is no any accident with this car. I drove this car in the past 3 months and have no any issue. However, when I reversed the car from my garage smoothly in the morning on July 15, 2025, the car couldn't move forward with Malfunction Indicator Light on. The diagnostic codes P0776 and P0965: Nissan CVT solenoid failure. The Nissan extended warranty is 84 months/84000 miles. The car was not drove too many in the past 3 years. So, the car is not eligible for the extended warranty by time (8 years instead of 7 years) but do be eligible by mileage (only 62014 miles) . The Nissan policy is to determine the eligibility by which criteria (time/mileage) come first. The CVT problem is really common to the Nissan Rogue. The Nissan should extend the warranty coverage on the mileages (84000 miles). Hope the Nissan could improve the quality on CVT and extend its warranty to 84000 miles only.

Reading this record
A high number of complaints describe fires or crashes.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
