When driving my dashboard lights light up randomly. A malfunction/warning popped up. My seatbelt light came on and I was wearing my seatbelt. Often times my trunk closes on its own and has hit my head. The car does not recognize the key. I have seen the dealership for this and they fixed it, but then the issue comes back.
2018 Nissan Rogue complaints

I am driving feel vibrating shake on Brake front and rear 4 bad
When using the voice control on the steering wheel of my 2018 Rogue in June 2023, the sound of my voice was not picked up by the microphone. I went online to look for recalls or repair information, and found a Reddit thread with many 2018 Rogue owners complaining of the same issue. I took the vehicle to the dealership. The dealership replicated the issue and found the Telematics Control Unit was not working. The technician also stated he has seen several of these stating, "Not a huge number, but quite a few." Since this is just one dealership, coupled with the online discussions, I believe this is a widespread problem that Nissan is aware of and has not voluntarily recalled. SAFETY: Many states have hands-free laws and the malfunctioning Telematics Control Unit does not allow the hands-free safety feature to work. Nissan is also asking $817 to rectify the issue, which could be cost prohibitive for some owners, causing them to forego the safety repair.
The contact owns a 2018 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, the vehicle started to shudder. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.
The passenger Occupant Classification System is malfunctioning. The weight sensor under the passenger side is no longer detecting an adult sitting in the passenger seat. This part is able to be fixed but costs 8,000-9,000 to replace the whole seat and the sensor. The safety of anyone sitting in my car is at risk, with the airbag light on because the sensor malfunctioned the air bags will no longer deploy in the event of a car accident. This light has been on since I got the car as a lease. Instead of the dealership fixing it the illegally pushed my car through inspection. The same model of my car was recalled for years 2014- 2017 for the same exact reason and problem I am having with this vehicle. I have done extensive research on the matter and it is a VERY COMMON problem with this vehicle. So many others with the same model as me and other models as well including infinity have resorted to buying a Nissan 360 airbag emulator to override the airbag weight sensor, so that in a result of an accident, the airbags will still function. This is a temporary solution and shouldn't be something the owners of this vehicle have to deal with especially when the same model from a year before was recalled for this reason.
Car shut off by yourself while we were driving on the highway. The key just kind of fell apart.the key fob thing kinda bent over and the car just turned off. Scared the family came to a halt and called aaa. They saw the key bent over and showed us. Called nissan and they said it was not under warranty. because Called dealer, and they said I had to get a new one. Says it cost $500 for each fob. Crazy!
Purchased a new 2018 Nissan Rogue. Purchased the Nissan Gold warranty for 7 hrs and 100,000 miles. Recently the drivers seat came very loose and was moving all directions making driving dangerous. Took the vehicle to the Nissan dealer we purchased from for repair. They reported the seat frame’ s rivets had broken and failed. Then they informed us the problem was not under warranty.cost to repair was to be 1,600 to replace the entire seat frame. The vehicle was less than 5 hrs old and mileage of 63k. Also I was told by Nissan personal that the problem was well known and a frequent safety concern, but Nissan corporation is refusing to repair or replace the seat frame, even under a very comprehensive extended warranty. I researched this type of complaint and yes it is a common problem that could lead to serious accidents. I am asking you to research this and order Nissan to fix the problems.
The contact owns a 2018 Nissan Rogue. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V093000 (Electrical System) however, the part to do the repair was unavailable.

Repeated activation of the AEB system while driving above 20 mph when there are no other vehicles/objects/persons near the vehicle. Nissan has replaced the part and recalibrated the system 4 times, and the problem is still occurring.
2018 Nissan Rogue SUV: Hood suddenly flew open while driving about 30-35 mph. I was able to safely pull over; although hood and fenders were damaged, I could close the hood and subsequently brought it to a Nissan dealer. A tech at the dealership identified the problem as a "frozen" (open) hood latch. I am awaiting an insurance adjuster to inspect the car. There were no warnings or any symptoms of problems prior to this incident. Had this happened at faster speeds, or on a multi-lane highway, who knows what consequences could have ensued.
I purchased this vehicle from carmax in November. I didn't even have it for a month and there quite a few things wrong. When I took it back to the dealership they "Couldn't recreate the problem" but wouldn't Give me Back my car. They kept it for 6 months. In that time they ended up doing a bunch of repairs, including putting in a new transmission. I have not had it back for a full week and driving to work it was very resistant to go at all. I made the mistake of getting on the freeway, where I couldn't get off until the next exit. My rpms went to and stayed at 6000 and I had no idea why and my crashing car with a star Symbol was illuminated,(and still is) for the whole way. I got off the freeway turned off my car. Turned it back on hoping this would fix the problem and drove less than 20 miles per hour the entire rest of the way to work. Even at 20 miles an hour. My RP m's were at 6000 and we're not even trying to go down.
I had my vehicle serviced and was informed the front passenger seat belt displays on the dash that there is a problem with the seat belt. The display shows a (ball/circle) figure on the seat belt symbol.

While turning into a busy intersection the automatic emergency braking engaged even though I had manually disabled it causing my vehicle to be stopped in intersection and when I tried to accelerate the car would not move and the AEB light came on as well as a triangle with exclamation point symbol telling me to check owner’s manual due to malfunction. There were no cars, people, or other obstructions in front of vehicle but there were vehicles behind me and my children and I could have all been injured had they collided with my vehicle due to the sudden stop/loss of power in intersection. I have not yet taken it to dealership but plan to ASAP
I was driving on the expressway when my car started shaking and a malfunction message came on. My steering then started to steer only to the left and the car would not allow me to control the steering any longer. I hit the median wall, did a 360 and was facing the opposite direction of traffic. The door initially would not unlock to let me out. I kept trying in a panic and all of a sudden they unlocked for me to get out. My car was totaled out by my insurance company.
I was driving about 20mph or less on a street, there was no one in front or back of me luckily. But all of sudden my sensors started blinking my car started to break on its own like wheels starting to lock the sensors blinked so fast I couldn't see what it was as I was watching road to make sure no one is around. It did it a few seconds and I was able to press on gas pedal and keep driving. If someone was in back of me I would of got in a accident.
On Friday April 21, 2023 I was operating my vehicle with my toddler inside going about 30 miles per hour when suddenly out of no where with No Warning my vehicle beeped rapidly 5 times and as it was beeping it intensely braked itself and/or slowed down immediately while at a speed of about 30 miles per hour. It was as if my car was getting pulled backwards and immediately slowing down I had no control of my vehicle. I was driving 30 miles per hour but I had No Control Of my vehicle, Not until the vehicle was finished pulling all the way back and slowing down to about 5-10 miles per hour from 30. I had no warnings at all and at the times there were no vehicles directly in front or on the side of me. I feared for my daughters life and safety because we were on a busy road and just felt in the moment we were going to get hit from behind because my vehicle was out of my control it had a mind of its own, I couldn’t control it cuz it’s like it braked it self and at a speed of 30 it pulled back. I’m scared to drive this car now. I brought it for my growing family but it’s a danger to me and my family as well as other vehicles driving around or besides me; for these reasons I don’t trust nor want this vehicle no more. What component or system failed or malfunctioned? I believe the auto breaks/ emergency break sensors failed me How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? My safety and my toddlers safety was put at risk because we coulda got into a really bad accident inju
Reporting this car . Recall has been open since February and there has been no remedy with a reasonable time frame. I am not able to cover the cost of the car note because it has affected my source of income due to the recall being opened and not being fixed in a timely manner. I would like to return the car due to the lemon law/inability to fix recall.

Since I bought the car numerous times(over 50) the car stops or the brakes activate automatically for no apparent reason. Three times my daughter came extremely close to getting into a major accident being that the car behind literally touched the back bumper. I’m afraid of letting my daughter drive it as the car was bought for her, as I’m afraid she’ll get into an accident. Took the car three times to Nissan service as was told this problem is a normal occurrence with this car model and MissN k owns about it but won’t do anything to solve the problem as of yet. I was told that they could replace the “laser” for $2100 which I would have to pay for but there is no guarantee that it would solve the problem. When I asked what are my options besides that I was told to trade the car in and buy another one as if I have the luxury of just buying another car. This issue was reported first in 2019 by other drivers who had the same issue and there are lawsuits going on at the moment by people that got into accidents because of this and still Nissan won’t do anything about it. We need help in order for them to formally recall these models so we can avoid more accidents. Please help!!!!

When I am waiting for someone to come out, I listen to music with key in on position and when I try to start the car it will not start. It makes a sound but won't turn over. I was told it was the battery, I had that replaced and it is still doing the same thing. I am concerned that if I am out at night, well anytime there is a car issue it concerns me. Please advise what this could be.
I have had the seat (driver) replaced by Nissan when the seat moves when accelerating and stopping that was two years ago. Now the dealership supposedly replaced the seat with a new one and this is happening again where the seat does not lock in position from moving back and forth. When you accelerate the seat moves back and if you brake the seat moves forward. This is a safety issue where the driver could possibly be injured from the seating moving unexpectedly.
In the first incident, I was in the middle of an intersection (going through on a green light) on a a normally busy road going approximately 35-40 mph and my automatic brake system braked hard without a warning. It beeped with a warning on the dash as it simultaneously braked. Not a single car was within 100 feet in front of me and thankfully there was no one close behind me. It was a four lane highway (2 lanes each way) with a barrier. The second incident was the following day when I was coasting up to a red light. There was approximately 30 feet until the stopped car at the red light and I had another car right behind me. I was going approximately 10-15 mph with my foot already on the brake. Without warning, it braked hard. I was already braking but this slammed on the brakes. There was a simultaneous beep and warning on the dash, but there wasn’t a warning prior.
On several occasions, my car has slammed on breaks on its on. There is a warning message that appears saying either there is a malfunction or the front radar has malfunctioned. Then the car will just stall or break on its own with a screeching sound. This has been terrifying as it has happened which driving on the highway.
I have purchased certified pre-owned 2018 Nissan Rouge SL on July 17th 2021 from a Dealer in TOTOWA, NJ, 07512.Recently we encountered a serious problem, where the AEB system malfunctions suddenly and unexpectedly when there is no car or object in front of the car. we are at a speed of 65 miles per hour and almost hit by a car behind us. This situation occurred three times and we are scared to drive the car. we tried to disable the automatic breaking system, but it gets reenabled Please let us know what you want us to do with the car condition.
Water has been making passenger’s side seats wet both rear and front. Making fungus to grow. That could result in poor health. Its been more than a year. Earlier suspected that water might have been spilled. But its always wet.
Driving on the highway and the automatic emergency braking system/forward collision light came on essentially braking the vehicle and engaging the engine brake. Luckily no one was behind is. Was able to limp it to the side of the road and have it towed home
Water inside the "A" pillar, along the front rail and in floorboard. Seal of moonroof is sitting well. This can cause a safety concern if water enters while driving, creating a distraction. Also, there is electrical components in the front rail of which I do not know, but dripping down on the front dash where the infosystem is located could cause unknown issues. The vehicle has not been inspected yet by a dealer, manufacturer, police or insurance. As of yet, no warning lights or error messages.
Using the info center to have hands free usage. The info center restarts periodically while driving. It doesn't appear to affect the drivability of the car, but if navigating using the info center it could cause a distraction for the driver if in an unknown area or place the driver in an unfamiliar/unsafe area. At present, it restarts on its own and reconnects to the current setting. It has not been inspected or reported to anyone as of yet. It is happening more frequently.
At unpredictable times and road conditions, the Automatic Emergency Braking system will activate causing the car to brake/lunge in such a manner that it feels like the operator is tapping the brakes. The system then proceeds to give the operator a series of warning lights on the dash display. During all of these instances there is nothing in proximity to the vehicle. We purchased the car in May 2021. It was a used, lease turn-in Nissan Certified vehicle. It started in June of 2021 while taking the car out to college with my daughter. I'm not sure how they can claim it was certified since this has been an ongoing issue with Nissan Rogues prior to May 2021. I believe they bare some degree of responsibility for putting the car back in service while knowing of this problem. I ask that all repair records prior to my purchase be researched for prior reports of this problem. I will be taking it to the dealer for inspection and attempted repair, but all my research leads me to believe they won't be able to remedy the situation. As a note, the car is not equipped with a camera at the rearview mirror assembly area. It has a sensor in the front end just below the Nissan emblem.
On 12/17/2022 I was driving 45 mph down a straight road. Suddenly the vehicle swerved left into oncoming traffic (so I was face to face with another vehicle), then swerved right very hard and then left again. My car was its two left tires only for a few seconds during this time. After it swerved across the lane 3 times, I was able to control the steering wheel again. I just missed the car in the opposing lane and my car was also heading towards a telephone poll before I regained the ability to control the car again. During this incident my steering wheel was straight the whole time and did not control the vehicle. I did not hit the brakes or acceleration for fear of a rollover because it was swerving so hard. There were no warning lights on the dashboard during this time or after the incident. About 3 minutes before this incident occurred, my car did something similar and swerved hard to the right while the steering wheel was straight and I did not have control of the steering for a few seconds. Mechanics in the area were called and mentioned that it could be the steering motor that could be failing but were unable to look at the vehicle. I had a mechanic come to my house and he said he could not find a error code on my vehicle's system. The car has not been driven since the incident.
The AEB sensors are not working. The sensor will have to be replaced. The current lights are on my car: car with squiggly lines, warning triangle, and O/D Off.
The component is the backup camera. The backup camera engages, but the camera image freezes momentarily after engaging. The freeze happens for around 1-2 seconds. The camera then continues to work or then crashes completely and you have to move out of reverse and back into reverse to reengage the backup camera. This has happened since I owned the vehicle and after the other recall that addressed other backup camera issues. The car is available for inspection on request. This puts others at risk since the backup camera is a crucial part of visibility. If the camera freezes when backing up, people/cars can approach and I would likely not be able to see them. The component has non been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others. No warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem. The symptoms have been with the car since purchase and definitely after the other software fix nissan had for camera issues.
My car randomly stopped while I was driving. There was nothing directly in front of me that could have triggered the ABS or Forward Collision for my car to break. A warning symbol popped up on the dashboard and the car made a complete stop. The experience was incredibly scary and if someone were driving behind me it could have caused a rear ending accident. I am in fear that this situation could happen while I'm driving on the highway, where it is much easier for a collision to happen.

This is my 2nd request for assistance for my Nissan. I have an engine room harness problem. Can you contact me about this?
The brakes suddenly started acting funny and the car feels unsafe when braking. The brake shave been checked by two different brake shops and they claim the pads, etc. are fine. The problem started when multiple warning lights suddenly went off on our dashboard. This included the AEB System Malfunction light, traction control, check engine, and ABS lights went on. The brakes sometimes have to be pressed down farther than normal and the abs breaks activate in normal braking situations.
There is a problem with my engine room harness, and it is corroding. My car was not on the recall for an engine room cover. My wires are corroded. It has never been issued for a recall, and the Nissan repair shop has indicated this is a problem with the E27 sensor. This is the report from Nissan Repair: "Customer states that car runs rough and lights are on. I found that key will not turn on. Checked battery voltages, they are at 12.1 volts. Checked pin fit on all fuses that go to the battery. I found that connector e27 was very corroded. We will have to start with replace the fuseable link. While replacing, found that corrosion has made its way down through wires. Car now needs engine room harness." Therefore, this is not a normal wear and tear but a situation that the cover was not issued during the design of this vehicle. Please issue a recall for my vehicle so that I can continue to get where I need to safely and securely without stalling and without spending money out of my pocket for this issue.
In the past two weeks my emergency braking system warned me and slightly breaker when I was driving uphill with no obstacles in my path. Now my front safety aids don’t work at all. No emergency breaking, no lane departure or lane recognition. The dealership has worked on it twice, now going in for a third time next Monday. It’s dangerous and it keeps glitching, going on and off randomly.
Panoramic sunroof exploded while driving. There was a very load pop when the closed sunroof exploded apart. Pulled over called police, there is a police record of incident. Luckily I had visor closed or I am sure we would have wrecked. I had to have sunroof replaced, was not covered by Nissan warranty.
My 2018 Nissan Rogue AEB function triggers with no obstacles in view causing the vehicle to slow down creating a safety hazard. This has happened two times in August 2022 and each time I have taken the vehicle to Stone Mountain Nissan. There have been no resolution so far My safety as well as others have been at risk by the sudden slow down and the vehicle coming to a stop which creates a impact hazard from other drivers I am a senior and afraid to drive because of this issue On august 26 2022 my rogue suddenly slowed then stopped for no reason or obstruction in view The vehicle barely accelerated creating almost be struck by another driver so august 27 2022 I am sitting at Nissan dealer with a fee of 185 for a diagnostic that is unfair This issue calls for a buy back by Nissan or a recall a no customer cost I purchased this vehicle new

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.
