“issues with false activations of emergency braking, nissan acknowledges issues in technical service bulletins but doesn't feel is enough to create a recall or special coverage even tho is a major safety issue, imagine it happening on the highway, which read it has and there is a semi behind you, could result in death very easily.”
Owner complaint, filed Feb 7, 2025
“A light came on and upon looking it up, it states that my breaks needed to be evaluated. I had the brakes replaced in the summer of 2022, but the light didn't go out. I started having problems with the car stopping and hesitating to stop. I took the car in Feb 2023 to Nissan and they said the Electronic Breaking System was going out. In May, I noticed the Parking break didn't light up nor did it stop the car.”

Filed Feb 16, 2023712,458 vehiclesNissan North America, Inc.

Defect. Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2014-2020 Rogue and 2017-2022 Rogue Sport vehicles equipped with a jackknife style ignition key. The jackknife key may collapse into a folded position while driving.

Risk. Driver contact with a key in the collapsed position could inadvertently shut off the vehicle while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, if the vehicle shuts off while driving, the air bags may not deploy in a crash as intended, increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy. Dealers will insert a spacer into the key slot of the jackknife key, free of charge. Interim notification letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed March 29, 2023. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed August 30, 2023. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall is R22C5.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."

Risk. The lack of an image in the back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Nissan will notify owners in phases, having dealers update the back-up camera settings software, free of charge. The recall began November 11, 2019 and all affected VINs should be activated. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 or INFINITI customer service at 1-800-662-6200.

The fuel-filler door release/latch on my 2019 Nissan Rogue repeatedly fails to unlock. This problem has occurred intermittently for more than one year. When I stop to refuel, I sometimes have to press the fuel-door release button more than 30 times before the latch finally releases. There are no warning lights or messages before the failure. This could leave me stranded and unable to refuel the vehicle, including during an emergency or in an unsafe location. The vehicle is stationary when the failure occurs. There was no crash, fire, injury, or police report. The issue has not yet been confirmed by a Nissan dealer. The vehicle and failed component are available for inspection upon request.

While the vehicle was being driven on a busy city street, it suddenly lost the ability to accelerate. The vehicle displayed multiple warning messages, including “Warning Low Oil Pressure — Stop Vehicle” and a collision warning. The accelerator no longer operated the vehicle normally. After the vehicle was shut off, it would not restart. The vehicle was taken to a Nissan dealership. The dealership initially could not communicate with the vehicle’s CAN system. After approximately three days of diagnosis, the dealer determined that there was a short to ground in the vehicle’s main wiring harness.There was no accident or other known event that caused the failure. The vehicle was operating normally before the incident. I am particularly concerned because the failure occurred while the vehicle was being driven and resulted in a sudden loss of acceleration. This created a potentially dangerous loss of propulsion. I am asking NHTSA to record and review this incident as a potential safety-related defect involving premature failure of the main wiring harness and the resulting loss of vehicle propulsion and CAN communication. I do not know whether this is an isolated failure or a broader design/manufacturing problem. I am reporting it so that NHTSA can determine whether similar complaints exist involving this vehicle, wiring harness, or failure mode. Note-Main harness replacement cost was approximately $4,450.

On XXX I was traveling with my [XXX] mother who has 2 plates to her hips from a fx. We had stopped at a rest area. I went to get her out of the front passenger side and the door would not open from outside or inside. The other doors were fine. She is not able to climb over the front console so I called the police. They were able to get her over the front seat to the back. Very upsetting for this to happen. I went online to see what the issue could be and saw there is a class action suit against Nissan on the door locks(actuator) as Nissan is refusing to do a recall. I went to my Nissan dealer to do repairs and sure enough it was the actuator. Cost of $940.95. The dealer could have cared less of what happened. This is a safety issue. What if all my locks did not open and she was stuck in the car since the temps were 96 that day.Receipt for repairs are attached.

The factory-installed roof rails on my 2019 Nissan Rogue are severely corroding and structurally deteriorating. The metal is visibly oxidizing, flaking, and breaking apart. Portions of the roof rail appear to be separating and losing structural integrity. This corrosion is occurring under normal use and typical Midwest weather exposure, with no misuse, accidents, or modifications. The vehicle has not been exposed to extreme environments or chemicals that would reasonably cause this level of degradation. Safety Concern: The roof rails are a structural exterior component designed to secure roof racks and cargo. Due to the corrosion and material failure, there is a significant safety risk that: Roof-mounted cargo or crossbars could detach while driving Metal fragments could break off and become road debris The failure could occur at highway speeds, posing a danger to other vehicles and pedestrians This issue represents a potential design, material, or manufacturing defect rather than normal wear. Corrosion of this severity should not occur on a relatively modern vehicle. I am concerned this may affect other Nissan Rogue vehicles of similar model years and warrants investigation. Photos documenting the corrosion and deterioration are attached. Requested Action: I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this issue for potential safety defects related to roof rail corrosion and structural failure on the 2019 Nissan Rogue.

Summary of the Problem: The passenger side front (left passenger) door lock actuator on my 2019 Nissan Rogue has failed for the second time. This is a repeat failure of the same component, which was previously replaced approximately four years ago. The lock intermittently fails to lock or unlock using the key fob, interior door switch, and manual controls. This defect presents a significant safety concern. When the actuator fails: •The door may remain unlocked while driving •The door may fail to unlock, trapping occupants inside the vehicle •Occupants may be unable to exit the vehicle in an emergency •There is a risk that the door could open unexpectedly while the vehicle is in motion Because this is a passenger door, it directly affects occupant safety, particularly for children, elderly passengers, or anyone who may need to exit the vehicle quickly. Failure Details •Vehicle: 2019 Nissan Rogue •Mileage at current failure: approximately 74,000 miles •Door affected: Left rear passenger door •Failure mode: Lock actuator intermittently fails to lock/unlock •Methods affected: Key fob, interior lock button, and manual door lock •Prior repair: Door lock actuator replaced once before; same issue has reoccurred This indicates a pattern of premature failure rather than normal wear and tear. Frequency and Pattern: This appears to be a known and widespread issue affecting Nissan Rogue vehicles across multiple model years. There are numerous consumer complaints describing identical failu

The CVT transmission in my 2019 Nissan Rogue failed unexpectedly at approximately 45,000 miles, just one year after the factory warranty expired. I first noticed issues on July 4, 2025, when the vehicle began hesitating and jerking in idle and occasionally during acceleration. On Monday, July 7, I drove it to a certified Nissan dealership for inspection, and during that drive, the check engine light came on. The dealership confirmed complete transmission failure. There were no warning lights or messages prior to July 7. The failure made the vehicle unsafe to drive, especially when merging onto highways or crossing intersections. The quoted repair cost was $6,500, which was unaffordable, forcing me to purchase a new Nissan vehicle instead. Nissan declined to offer any goodwill assistance despite the low mileage and known history of CVT issues in similar models.

I have owned this vehicle since it was new and the collision sensor light would occasionally blink when the weather was cold, damp or foggy. My Nissan tech told me not to worry about it as long as the car was not braking without necessity. About a month ago, the collision sensor light was blinking and shortly thereafter, the front radar (collision avoidance) sensor malfunctioned, warning lights and sound occurred and the AEB system deployed and car was stopped abruptly. There was no traffic and I was able to coast to the side of the road. I placed the car in park and then in drive and car was back to normal operation. Several days later the lane departure warning occurred for no reason but the car did not shut down. I took the car to Dick Smith Nissan, St. Andrews Road, Columbia, SC for service. They replaced the collision sensor for a cost of $2300.00. I called Nissan customer service, received a complaint number ([XXX]) but was told there was nothing Nissan could or would do. This is a problem occurring in many Nissan models over several years. Some of these malfunctioning sensors have been replaced under warranty. Others are part of class action suits in several states. I believe some models have been the subject of recalls. Nissan will not admit that there is a flaw in these sensors and it is a safety issue if the vehicle stalls in heavy traffic or on the interstate. I was lucky that I when my car stalled, I was in town with no traffic and was able to pull off the road. I

Vehicle was issuing a judder feeling, and it had lack of power to the gas pedal at times. The check engine light ended up coming on for P0101 (mass air flow sensor). Dealer replaced the mass air flow sensor and cleared the code. Said they test drove it without any issues. After picking up the vehicle, it was within 10 min, the judder was being felt. Then taking the exit and slowing, I felt the lack of power to the gas pedal. Dealership was called instantly and did a further inspection. Advised that the code P17F2 was coming up and I needed a new transmission.

1)Backup Camera freezes. I need to pause the car and wait a minute then it will restart. This happens a couple of times a week. 2)Also, there have been several times when going down a hill, my forward collision warning light and sound goes off and it feels like a light emergency brake is applied. (though the dealer told me that I did not have the automatic emergency braking). This occurs for about 2-3 seconds and then stops on it's own. I have never seen anything in the road that would set this off. This has happened about 4 times within the last 6 months or less.

Lane Departure › Warning

Our 2019 Nissan Rogue SV crash warning light came on the instrument cluster, also it stopped letting me know when I was going over the lane. The warning sign is still coming on and will not turn off. The button switch on left section on the steering wheel do not functioning. After a diagnostic test it was shown to be the forward collision warning (FCW). I understand that this seems to be a problem with this particular type of vehicles and it has been reported many times but no recall have been initiated, I feel very unsafe driving it, it is estimated the cost to repair this problem is about $2600.

Electrical System
Filed Feb 25, 2025NY

2019 Nissan Rogue, this is the first (09/21/21) of 2 (03/16/22) electrical issues with my car which I bought new from a Nissan Dealer. The mileage on 9/21/21 was 9,868. There had been a squealing noise heard when turning off my car and opening the drivers door. Then while driving it 3/16/21 my vehicle doors began to unlock and lock which was confusing and annoying and then a yellow warning light lit on the dashboard when I went over bumps in the road then the cruise control shut off at the same time. Luckily there weren’t any cars around my car. My Cairn Terrier dog was riding in the backseat. His collar was attached via leash to the headrest for safety. I had no idea what was going on with my car. I drove to the Nissan Dealer they looked my car over. They claimed the hatch was not shut as the cause. It made no sense to me as the above happened as I was driving and no dash light went on until my car doors started locking and unlocking and the cruise control shut off when I went over bumps. Refer to my second complaint for the next electrical issue that happened 6 months after this one it relates again to the cruise control. I filed a separate complaint for the 2nd electrical issue (mileage 12,120) with NHTSA.

Service Brakes
Filed Feb 7, 2025WI

Issues with false activations of emergency braking, nissan acknowledges issues in technical service bulletins but doesn't feel is enough to create a recall or special coverage even tho is a major safety issue, imagine it happening on the highway, which read it has and there is a semi behind you, could result in death very easily. brakes will randomly lock up the car to a dead stop out of nowhere and flash bunch of warning lights. have a friend with a nissan car that did same thing and caused a major accident with injuries. i am a certified master technician and i find this very concerning and needs to be addressed. will be having an independent mobile programmer update the software which isnt listed for 2019s in the technical service bulletin only for 17-18. and hope that it never happens again, but that will all be out of pocket.

3 safety recalls on file with NHTSA, the most recent filed Feb 16, 2023. The largest, 19V654000, covered 1,228,830 vehicles. Recall repairs are free at a dealer; whether a specific car still has one open depends on its VIN.

The manufacturer filed 168 technical service bulletins and other notices for it with NHTSA, most of them about the electrical system (58), the transmission (27) and the engine (10). They include a warranty extension, White Paint Clas, filed Oct 17, 2019. A bulletin is a repair instruction to dealers, not a recall: the fix is usually free only under warranty.

Reading this record

Complaint volume is well above typical for a single model year.

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.
