Was driving at night. No obstruction s in road (nor any railroad gates or anything Nissan has said in last) and car automatically started braking on main road. Luckily not many people were out and it didn’t cause any damage/accidents
2017 Nissan Rogue complaints
Owner reports filed with NHTSA about this vehicle, newest first and reproduced as filed. They are unverified accounts: one proves nothing, and a pattern across many is the thing worth reading. Back to the full 2017 record →
Beginning of September 2022 the warning light for passenger side airbags came on. This error causes all airbags to shut off. I-95 Nissan said a new sensor was needed. I had to pay in full for part. They said part was back ordered. When I asked for a loaner car saying my car wasn’t safe I was told “It’s a safe car, just drive carefully ” and “Lots of cars on the road don’t have airbags”. Every week I was told no ETA for part. I took car to private mechanic who verified issue. Filed a report with Nissan corporation, they still have no ETA for part. It has been almost 3 months of no airbags and NO help from Nissan. This car is only 5 years old. This is unacceptable. The response from Nissan is negligent. I have no other option but to drive this car. I can’t afford a new car!
Passenger air bag light is on. Took to my local dealership for an oil change and for them to look/fix the warning light or air bag for the passenger side front seat bag. Told them I have mentioned the light coming on and off when my car was under warranty in the past. Was told by Nissan service person that they have no record of problem. They wanted over $600 for oil change, and fixing warning light (plus they said I needed all the fluids in my car changed). We don't have $600 plus for problem that should be fixed by Nissan. We left and did not have repairs done. I am worried that air bag won't deploy if there is an accident.
On 3 different occasions, emergency braking has been initiated with no object in front that can be struck. Vehicle has locked and unlocked while in transit with no explanation, dashboard quickly shows error then stops.
I was going up a hill and the breaks just automatically activated on their own. there was the beeping then it just happened. nothing in the road ahead of me it was all clear.
After driving my vehicle for about 20 minutes, when I press the gas pedal to accelerate from a stopped position (like at red lights) my car just does not go. It doesn’t stall, it hesitates and doesn’t go as normal. I have to pump the gas pedal and eventually it will go, but it continues to lurch forward and the RPMs rev up over 4 as the vehicle “bunny hops”.
The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, she heard an abnormal noise under the hood before the vehicle lost motive power and stalled. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the CVT transmission failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.
The car jerks a lot. Even if my foot is on the brake it keeps forward can easily hit a car in front of me. Took it to dealership paid almost $3000 and they told me they did the work yet the next day after picking the car up engine light was on again and the jerking while driving just got worse a lot of other nissan rouge has complain about these same situation
I first noticed my gas gauge was not moving after driving 75 miles. It was showing the tank was on full, ( this could not be so) In addition I begin to count the mileage I was driving and I noticed that my mileage gas gauge wasn’t working as well. For instants I drove 40 miles and only half of that subtracted from my mileage so neither the gas or mileage gauge is working and or reporting the correct gas amount in my tank. I looked up the issue on the Internet and found that many people with all different types of Nissan models and years are having this problem yet there isn’t a recall there’s only a technical bulletin out. I called Nissan in Crystal River Florida to ask them if they knew about the problem they said they did not and if I wanted to get it fixed to bring it in for a diagnosis of $189. I refused. So now this is a safety problem as I do not know how much gas is in my tank.
But I am driving my car will not go it's normal speed I can hold the pedal to the floor and it slowly will gain speed 30 to 40 miles an hour when I stop at a red light my car will literally go 5 miles an hour With my pedal being all the way to the floor until I shut it off and turn the key back-and-forth five times The part that I need is on back order Nissan can't make them fast enough this is very unsafe to be driving like this my dash will say malfunction I really wish I could upload a video to show you
While I am driving my car will beep and say malfunctioning and drop the please power as I push on the peddle, and it's hard for me to gain more speed as the speed limit increases. If I am to slow down or stop at a red light then start to go again my car takes a few minutes to get to the speed limit it's like the car has bo power going it is. Today I pulled into fhe road after leaving a store and was only going 3 miles an hour my car did not want to go this is berry dangerous to be driving this way. The part is on back order and can't get it to fix the problem, my mechanic said if it's not fixed it could cause other problems like cause my Cadillac converter to go. This should be recalled if it's in such high demand and this should be on Nissan if I can't buy the part to fix my car it's verry unsafe and needs to be fixed
The car starts beeping and the Red brake warning comes on. The beeping is continuous and at that point the brakes get stuck and stop working. My safety was compromised in that my car brakes failed while I was in traffic and I almost hit the Fedex truck in front of me. I knew something was wrong because 2 days before I had just replaced brand new brakes in my car This problem first appeared on September 28th. My car was bought brand new and has never had a problem. Car was towed to Nissan, they inspected and said the problem is the Recall issue since the symptoms are the same and they could not do anything about it because recall repair has not been released by Nissan. I took my car home and drove it the next day and exactly the same problem happened again. The brakes failed right in the middle of traffic again. Warning brake sign comes on, warning car with spanner comes on and then car beeps continuously non-stop and the brakes stop working right in the middle of driving.
My cars intake runner control valve needs to be replaced when I am driving my car will beep and say malfunctioning on the dash the power to my car lessons I can push the pedal of my car to the floor and only be going 30 to 40 miles an hour, I tried getting the part from a couple garage is it is on back order a long list of people are waiting for this part Nissan said they don't know when I will be able to get it when it will be back in stock this is a non-safe to be driving a car like this. I can be going down the road in my car will say malfunctioning.
2017 NISSAN ROGUE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO ILLUMINATED CHECK ENGINE LIGHT.
Air bag sensor light displayed. Took to the Nissan Dealership and the initial diagnosis was a reset of the sensors. Within a couple days the air bag sensor light displayed again. I took the vehicle back to the Nissan dealer, and was advised that occupant sensor unit failure and both sensors and control unit needed to be replaced. These types of saftey equipment should not fail in a vehicle that is only 5 years old. I read a report that this defect was part of a recall.
The passenger side airbag occupancy sensor is not working and therefore the airbag will not work. This is the same issue with other Nissan Rogue’s and a recall in this same year and yet our VIN is not included. It is very likely that cars have been missed on this recall as there is no other reason for this part to not be working.
The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving approximately 25 MPH and stopping for a traffic light, the vehicle stalled and then lunged forward. The contact depressed the brake pedal and stopped the vehicle. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle; however, the failure continued with the vehicle lunging while depressing the accelerator. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact towed the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 77,000.
Seatbelt light on panel went on

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 MPH, the driver’s side seat fractured. The contact stated that while sitting back in the seat, the seat offered no back support. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 24,000.
AIRBAG RED ICON SHOWED UP ON DASH AND STAYED ON WAS TOLD IT COULD COST UP TO ABOUT $850.00 T0 $3,000 TO REPAIR WITH A 1 YEAR WARRANTY AND THERE WERE NO RECALLS. I TOOK IT TO DAYTONA NISSAN SERVICE DEPT. DAYTONA BEACH, Fl. My car is unsafe to drive now, what can you do? Thank You, [XXX] 09/07/22 INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
This car is known for transmission issues and there should have been a recall already. All that’s happened is a warranty extension and a class action lawsuit. My check engine light came on and I took this car to 4 mechanics who couldn’t determine the issue. The car stalled out in the middle of driving on a highway and while making a turn. I could have been hit. This car is DANGEROUS and Nissan is well aware of the transmission issues with this car. They knew before I even bought this car. These cars should have been pulled off of the road and repaired before allowing any more people to risk their lives driving in them. I called a transmission shop who won’t even service my car because he’s done so many of these Nissan rogues and can’t even get the parts to fix them. There’s a shortage of parts because this issue is happening so often. I’m outside the now extended warranty so I have to get a new transmission out of pocket…while still owing $6k on my car loan. The car is 5 years old. I’ll never ever buy another Nissan. They are aware of this issue and putting thousands of not millions of people in danger.
While having my car on for an extended period of time, my car will randomly not accelerate when I push on the gas pedal. As soon as I turn the car off and turn it back on, my car will reset itself and will resume as normal, until it happens again sometimes just 30 minutes later. This issue has happened since I have purchased the car. This happens mostly when I am in stop and go traffic, when I need to accelerate at a stop light, or even just in a pick up line for my son’s school. I took my car into the Tim Dahle Nissan Dealership in South Jordan, UT and they claimed my transmission issue was not related to the issues mentioned in the complaints and that there are leaks causing it, however, everything lines up exactly with the issues as described and I have never heard of these leaks happening until the visit that I happened to ask for a warranty fix. The last time this complaint happened was back in 2021 where they updated the software on the transmission, they told me this would fix the issue and it did not resolve the issue at all, as if still continues to happen. I submitted a complaint to Nissan in February this year advising of the same issue happening and I received a letter in the mail stating that this was an issue that would be covered under the warranty. Please help me get this fixed!!!
The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the driver’s side and passenger’s side sideview mirrors, the front driver’s side seat and driver’s side window could not be adjusted due to an electrical failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and diagnosed with a faulty electric circuit board that was burnt. The circuit board was replaced and the failure was remedied; however, a week later the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who diagnosed that the electrical connector for the under-dash wiring harness was corroded due to water and salt intrusion from the driver's side foot well. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The contact indicated that the previous model year vehicles were recalled for the same failure; however, the 2017 model year was not included. The failure mileage was 69,000.
The car will not accelerate when the gas is pushed. It hesitates and jerks. Sounds like I'm trying to drive in neutral. I have only had the car for a little over a month.
A/C does not work properly, air does not blow into the cabin no matter how high you turn the fan or if you change any of the settings. Brought it in for service on 9/11/19 the AC condensor-N was changed and freon added. Brought it in again for service on 3/17/20 the Mass air flow sensor-n was changed. Brought it in again for service on 2/2/21 the A/C o-rings were replaced and freon added again. It is now 8/22/22 and the same thing is happening again.
The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked with the driver's side door ajar, the vehicle rolled in reverse. The contact jumped into the vehicle but was hit by the door and dragged approximately 100 feet before stopping. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact sustained injuries to his back and medical attention was provided. The contact had a prior clavicle injury. A police report was filed. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic. The manufacturer was notified but no additional assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 132,000.
My Nissan Rogue 2017 constantly stalls when I accelerate after having to stop on a hill. I live in Pennsylvania and there are a lot of hills. It mostly happens when I have my air conditioning on. I go to accelerate and the car lags. The worst occasion was on 8/20/2022. I was stopped at a light going up hill and pressed the gas pedal and it lagged for about 30 seconds. The RPM shot up and my car was only going like 30 in a 35 even with me accelerating. Once I was stopped at a light on a flat road, I turned my car off and it was fine. This consistently happens when I’m traveling up hills and I cannot always turn my car off. It’s terrifying when I’m trying to make a left turn off a hill near my house and I accelerate but don’t move fast enough. I’m always afraid I’ll get into an accident. If I had known about this CVT, I wouldn’t have bought this car.
The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that the gear shifter lights illuminated and remained on. The dealer was notified of the failure and the vehicle was scheduled to be diagnosed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.
This morning while driving to work I was crossing a major intersection (Northbound Chiquita Blvd / Pine Island Rd in Cape Coral FL) at 45 mph when my automatic breaking system activated and brought my car to a stop in the middle of the intersection. There was no vehicle or object in front of me and there was no abnormal weather so there was no reason for the vehicle to stop. Luckily there was nobody behind me and I was able to continue on my way to work, but this could be a major safety issue if Nissan Rogues just suddenly come to a stop for no reason.
Was notified about a recall on my vehicle the beginning of February 2022 and have been in contact with my local Nissan dealer several times. It is now August and their has been no more notification on a possible repair for a safety recall on my vehicle. called multiple times at least once per month. I'm just very worried about operating/driving the vehicle with the type of recall that is out on the vehicle and was looking for more information on what to do because of it. For reference I live in southern Louisiana and drive thru rain and my roads are prone to flooding in heavy rains so it puts my vehicle at risk because of the recall with the wiring harness and water intrusion. So this makes me very worried about potential accidents that could occur especially in hurricane season.
Issue started with crank no start, internal lights flashing, then power steering and check engine light came on. after a few more tries starting vehicle, driver side window stops functioning, all internal lights are flashing when any button is pressed, and key fob stops connecting to the vehicle.
The front engine sub-frame bushings separated at 63,339 miles. No warning just vibration in engine compartment. This could potentially affect handling steering. The subframe has been replaced by a Nissan dealership.
When driving the vehicle on the highway, it suddenly felt like it is decelerating (slowing down ready to stall or completely stop). This all happened suddenly. It continued to move forward, but there was a large "malfunction" sign that showed up in the middle of the dash screen. It was extremely dangerous, as I was driving my 1.5 year old grandchild home from daycare. After having the vehicle connected to a auto diagnostic machine, the codes that came up were part of a known Nissan issue (Service Bulletin: NTB18-077, APPLIED TRANSMISSION: CVT (RE0F10D)).
I left my car in park and running on the driveway. I went out to turn it off, opened the drivers side door and went to push the button to turn it off. The car started rolling down the driveway I tried to stop it as it rolled into the street. I hurt my foot/leg and the car eventually stopped when it went up on a curb and hit my neighbors landscape wall The contact has mentioned the extent to which they were injured that required the use of crutches and a walking boot. The vehicle is still in their possession.
My 2017 Nissan Rogue is accelerating and lunging on its own. My sister and her fiance were almost involved in two separate accidents due to this safety concern. My sister said as she was coming up to a stop light, the vehicle suddenly accelerated forward, causing her to have to swerve into the next lane to avoid the accident. She said the vehicle then acted like it did not have enough power to accelerate forward again once it had stopped, however, my sister stated as she was attempting to get home after this incident; the vehicle accelerated/lunged forward again resulting in her having to swerve into the parking lot of a store to avoid another accident. My sister also stated that the traction control light flashed she the vehicle's RPMs got really high while she was driving it. This light did not stay on, but the check engine light has. My sister stated that once she got the vehicle home, she placed the vehicle in park and suddenly the RPMs on the Rogue maxed out, almost like you are pushing the pedal all the way to the floor while the vehicle is in Park or Neutral. My sister stated that once the RPMs went back down, the vehicle then stalled and has not started since.
Heat shield over muffler fell of vehicle (from corrosion of bolts and nuts) exposing rear cargo area (contains spare tire and other components) to excessive heat.
My Nissan 2017 rogue has unexpectedly lost speed (from 60 mph to less than 20 mph in less than 5 sec) on the highway with no chance of recovery and little time for other drivers to avoid my Nissan Rogue. This is an extremely dangerous scenario. There is no way to correct the situation without stopping car completely and restarting the engine on the highway.
The sunroof on my 2017 Nissan Rogue exploded. I was driving down the freeway (paved), no cars in front of me for as far as I could see. Outside temperature was 100-degrees, driving roughly 60-65mph. Suddenly there was a very, very loud CRASH/POP! I was extremely startled. Thankfully I maintained control of my vehicle as my whole body tensed up. I looked around wondering what just happened (sounded like a shotgun) - as I looked in the rear view mirror I saw chunks of glass fly off the top of my vehicle, and I was now hearing wind, as if my sunroof were open, although all windows were closed & the AC was on high. I pulled over to see what happened & found shattered glass & a gaping hole - about 2 1/2 feet by 1 1/2 feet across, with obvious signs that it blew outward. The entire thing is shattered. Thankfully I had the fabric barrier closed, otherwise I would've been pelted/showered with shards of glass. As far as the list of questions... no warning lights or signs that a fail was eminent. I have not yet contacted my insurance. And I have sent an message to Nissan but am awaiting their reply.
Me vehicle keeps warning me of a forward collision when there is not the possibility of one. It has locked up the brakes at speed on an open road once before. This thing needs to be recalled this is a wide spread problem with rogues.
Transmission problems . It jerks , stalls when driving or having the car on for a long time .
The OCS system has failed in my car. The passenger airbags are constantly turned off, even when a full sized adult is in the passenger seat, therefore putting them at risk if a crash were to occur. The yellow light indicating that the passenger airbag system is turned off is constantly on, as well as the red light on the dashboard indicating an airbag problem. These constant warning lights began May 19, 2022. I have not yet taken the vehicle in to be inspected. I have researched this issue, and it does seem to be a problem among Nissan Rogues.
Air Conditioner stops working on long drives roughly 45 minutes in. Cold air does not always come through the vents to the interior. You can hear the blower working, and the compressor working, but the air flow is very weak, even warm.
When I am at a complete stop and I press on the accelerator, the car will lurch forward very slowly. This has happened many times while driving in heavy traffic and it is very unsafe.
The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH, the vehicle made a grinding noise and then lost motive power. There was an unknown malfunction message displayed on the instrument panel. The contact restarted the vehicle and was able to drive to her residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 14,502.
Sometimes the crash warning light turns on without a reason I had taken the truck to dealership for this and I was told it’s because it is stopping me from crashing but I don’t see how if there are no cars on front of me or anything at all also a lot of times the car will start shaking when stopping or accelerating again I call the dealership and nothing has been done
Airflow sensor Yes the engine light suddenly appear on my screen I was turning right going uphill when it happen the car makes like sudden stops and the engine feels like choking up doesn't want to move forward for few seconds Somebody check it and also use a machine fixer from to auto zone to identify the cause of the problem It happen this morning 🌄
The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that upon driving from a complete stop, the accelerator pedal was depressed but the vehicle failed to respond and the transmission slipped. The contact continued to depress the accelerator pedal and the vehicle responded by jolting inadvertently thirty minutes later. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the failure had been reoccurring increasingly and the check engine light would illuminate intermittently. The dealer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. Additionally, the contact stated while driving at 30 MPH and approaching another vehicle, the brake pedal was depressed but failed to respond, causing the vehicle to crash into the rear end of the occupied vehicle. The airs bags failed to deploy and the seat belt failed to engage, causing the contact to hit her head against the windshield and hit her chest against the steering wheel. The contact sustain head injuries, memory loss, bruises on the chest, and whiplash. The contact did not seek medical assistance. The contact was unsure whether the other driver sustained injuries. A police report was filed. The contact was able to drive the vehicle to her mother-in-law's residence which was 2 to 3 blocks away. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 142,000.
Passenger airbag sensor defective and doesn't work. Driver side seat is loose. These are safety issues and I shouldn't have to pay $3k to have them fixed especially when other 2017 rogues have had recalls for same problems, just different lots. Can't afford to fix and can't buy something new.
While driving on 86th street in Indianapolis, Indiana on a trip, my 2017 Nissan Rogue abruptly and suddenly stopped with no warning whatsoever. I was driving at approximately 30 to 35 miles per hour at the time. The engine remained operating once the vehicle stopped. I pressed the gas pedal after the abrupt stop when the vehicle began to move forward.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
