- ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:ANTI-THEFT:IMMOBILIZER/PROXIMITY:KEY/SENDERCampaign 23V093000 · 16/02/2023
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.
Fix: 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.
- BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERACampaign 19V654000 · 12/09/2019
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Nissan Altima, Armada, Frontier, Kicks, Leaf, Maxima, Murano, NV, NV200, Pathfinder, Rogue, Rogue Sport, Sentra, Titan, Titan Diesel, Versa Note and Versa Sedan vehicles, as well as Infiniti Q50, Q60, QX30 and QX80 vehicles. Additionally included are 2019 Nissan GT-R and Taxi and Infiniti QX50, QX60, Q70, Q70L vehicles. The back-up camera and display settings can be adjusted such that the rear view image is no longer visible and the system will retain that setting the next time the vehicle is placed in reverse. 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.
Fix: 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.

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING TO SHEBOYGAN , WI FROM CHICAGO, IL. I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ON. I WAS GOING 80 IN THE FAST LANE. MY CAR OUT OF NOWHERE SLOWED DOWN ON ITS OWN ABRUPTLY ALMOST CAUSING A 4 CAR COLLISION. I QUICKLY TURNED ON TO THE SHOULDER AND ONCE MY CAR CAME TO A STOP THE CAR DIED. I TRIED TO TURN IT BACK ON AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I HAD NO SENSORS OR WARNING LIGHTS TO GIVE ME SOME TYPE OF CLUE AS TO WHAT HAPPENED. ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO, GOING OVER RAILROAD TRACKS MY CAR ABRUPTLY SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES ON ITS OWN AND CAME TO A STOP ON THE TRACKS. I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. I HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF N THEN BACK ON TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE OFF THE TRACKS.

I was stationary at a red light, and car traveling behind me at full speed (approximately 50-60 mph) did not stop and crashed into my car (rear-ending me). My airbags did not deploy: not even the side airbags, even though the trunk was crashed/pushed up into the middle of the car, damaging the side supports between the front and back seats. ALSO, the driver's seat reclined fully upon impact! This car has electric adjustable seats, so the seat has a mechanized gear that faulted.

There appears to be a problem with the Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), while driving on 2 occasions, my Nossan 2018 roque automatically slowed down by itself and flashed a warning on the dash board and made an audible beeping sound. The tires also had friction against the road, showing the breaks activated on their own although there was no risk of an accident or obstacle in the way so t should not have activated. Thos seems dangerous because it slows the car down randomly and might actually cause an accident. It happened 22Dec2025 and about 6 driving sessions before that so it's a recurring issue.

Initial incident vehicle had failure to correctly advance when placed in drive after startup. Vehicle then suddenly jerked forward into drive and was able to proceed. Took the vehicle into the dealer that I purchased from and they told me that nothing was wrong and the vehicle was in perfect condition with no mechanical problems. About a month later (yesterday) while I was out shopping the vehicle suddenly started to make noise and was unable to pick up speed as normal. It would not accelerate as it should. It would start slowly and then jerk forward picking up speed. By the time I got home (about 8 miles) it would barely do more than 18 mph. Makes a whirring sound and just no acceleration. Luckily I was able to get it into my garage safely. So...this month is my last payment on this vehicle and at only 78,000 miles I thought I would be enjoying months of payment free usage before repairs were needed. WRONG! A friend told me that my vehicle was on a recall list but that was wrong too. Now I am waiting to get estimates on what a new transmission would cost. Not happy. Will never buy a Nissan again. I called the corporate recall number and they so gladly gave me the news that there is no recall. Sucks! Do I pay the price for a transmission or do I trade it in. Trying to retire but now might have to work to pay this bill. Sucks! Previously had Jeeps that ran for way over the 200k miles and had very few problems. Time to consider another vehicle brand. Any suggestions? This won't help get my vehicle fixed but it helps with the stress!

The vehicle experienced a sudden failure of the continuously variable transmission (CVT) while in operation. The failure occurred at a four-way stop during snowy conditions when I attempted to proceed through the intersection and the vehicle would not initially move or transmit power to the wheels, leaving me stopped in the roadway and unable to clear the intersection, creating a safety risk due to oncoming traffic and reduced traction and visibility. At the moment of failure, the check engine light illuminated solid and remained on, and has not turned off since. Although the vehicle was able to move afterward and be driven to a dealership, it exhibited loss of normal drivability. The vehicle was inspected by a Nissan dealership, which diagnosed a failed CVT solenoid and advised that the transmission is expected to progress to complete CVT failure. The dealership provided a repair estimate consistent with a full CVT replacement. The vehicle has not been repaired due to the cost and remains unsafe to operate. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The manufacturer (Nissan) was contacted for goodwill assistance and denied coverage. I am aware of a prior lawsuit involving Nissan CVT transmission failures; however, my vehicle’s model year was not included in that settlement despite experiencing a similar failure.

The CVT transmission in my 2018 Nissan Rogue Sport is malfunctioning and poses a serious safety hazard. The vehicle hesitates, loses power during acceleration, and displays warning lights while driving. This failure creates extremely dangerous situations, especially when merging into traffic, accelerating from a stop, or crossing intersections. Despite the widespread CVT issues in Nissan vehicles and identical symptoms reported in other Rogue models, Nissan refused to repair my CVT because they claim the Rogue Sport is not included in the extended CVT warranty. I also requested Goodwill Assistance due to the clear safety risk, but this was denied as well. The dealer quoted me around $1,500 just to diagnose the CVT problem, with repair costs likely much higher. It is unreasonable for a critical safety component to fail at this mileage and for Nissan to reject all support. This issue continues to occur unpredictably, and the vehicle can suddenly lose power during normal driving, putting me and others at serious risk. Nissan has refused responsibility despite this being a well-documented, safety-related CVT defect. I am filing this complaint because the malfunction poses a risk of crashes and injuries, and Nissan has declined to address a known safety problem.

For about a year now when starting my car I sometimes get a message that states No Key detected. I have two keys in the vehicle with new batteries. I does not do it all the time but often. Yesterday the car would not start at all. I pressed the buttons on the key fob several times to lock and unlock the doors and the car finally recognized the key was in the car. Once i started rolling out the garage the brakes locked up and I could not turn the wheel. Thankfully, I was able to stop before entering the street. I feel this is a manufacturers defect because I have had several people with Nissans say they had the same issue and paid over $1000 to get it corrected. My co worker was talked into trading hers in for another vehicle for the exact same issue. I made a claim with Nissan customer service. The case number is [XXX}.

In 2023, the car started rattling, smoke appeared near the engine, fluid leaked from the bottom of the car (front), the coolant tank began to overheat and bubble, and then the car would not turn on. Scheduled a maintance check at local auto shop, informed me a hose was loose and needed replacement. Hose was replaced. The same symptoms occurred a few months later. If the car is in idle, the coolant tank overheats, and the car shuts off. I took the car back to the same shop in September 2025, and they informed me that the issue is not with the hose. Instead, the coolant tank has a hairline crack, and the fan, thermostat, and coolant expansion tank need to be replaced.

The radiator cooling fan on 2018- 2020 Nissan Rogue Sports has failed and does not turn on, which causes the vehicle to overheat and the air conditioning system to stop functioning properly. This problem creates a significant safety risk, as the vehicle can quickly overheat when idling or driving in traffic, potentially leading to engine damage, vehicle breakdowns in unsafe locations, or even fire hazards due to overheating. The issue has been widely reported by many Nissan Rogue owners, and I have confirmed through online forums and news reports that there is an active class action lawsuit related to defective cooling fans in Nissan Rogue models. The cost of replacing the cooling fan is significant, often over $1,000, and there are widespread reports of shortages in replacement fan assemblies, making it difficult to repair the vehicle in a timely manner.

I was driving on a highway when my car began to stutter. It felt like the vehicle was struggling to accelerate, so I attempted to pull over to a side street for safety. However, before I could do so, the car completely lost the ability to accelerate and gradually came to a full stop. I managed to get it onto the shoulder just in time, but this occurred on a bend in the road, where visibility was limited and traffic was fast-moving. Multiple vehicles had to swerve suddenly to avoid hitting my car. Because the road was narrow, I couldn’t safely exit the vehicle without risking being hit. Police were called to the scene and had to park with emergency lights to protect me and other drivers from a potentially serious crash. A tow truck was dispatched, and the vehicle was transported to a Nissan dealership. The dealership confirmed that the CVT transmission had failed. This failure placed my safety and the safety of other drivers at serious risk, especially due to the sudden and complete loss of power in highway conditions. There were no warning lights, messages, or prior symptoms, the failure was immediate and catastrophic, transitioning directly from stuttering to full power loss. The vehicle has since been inspected by Nissan, and the diagnosis confirmed a total CVT transmission failure.

We have a 2018 Nissan Rogue Sport S fwd., and the AC began to cool off & on, then there was no air at all coming from the vents. Took the car to Firestone and they said it was the blower motor & blower motor resistor - so I had those replaced. Not even a week passes and there's a noise coming from the engine especially when ac is on and a vibration to go along with it. I carried it back to Firestone and they tell me it's the cooling fan, it wasn't wanting to turn off when car was shut off, so I have to make an appointment to bring in etc..etc.., 2 days later the cooling fan just stops working and the engine temp, of course, wants to run hot. So - the car isn't drivable in its current state, and from what I've been reading online, these cars definitely have some issues! I read that Nissan had recalled the year 2019 & up for these same problems ?! What about the 2017 & 2018s with the same issue?? Shame on you Nissan!! Knowing that you put a defected part in these cars that just stop working out of the blue, causing cars to over heat and could potentially cause unnecessary damage to engine.

Radiator fan failure. At around 47000 miles the radiator fan gave out. Ours caused our car to overheat on the highway and start smoking. We took it to a repair shop and got it fixed for between $1000-1500. At that time, we saw plenty of users reporting the same issue around the same mileage mark. It has now been two years since that repair and our fan is starting to squeak and make noise again like it did the few months before it gave out the first time. Our mileage is now 57,000 and I expect we will need to replace our fan within the next 6 months. Also, when trying to get the fan replaced, it is often on back order which our mechanic found interesting—showing this must be a common occurrence with these vehicles. Not only is this a safety issue, it will have costed us almost 3k within 3 years. And who knows how long our next replacement will last.

This year the Engine Radiator Coolant fan became an issue, the coolant fan bearing has something wrong with it and causes it to turn the ac off and overheat the engine. Possible causing catastrophic internal damage to the engine. It wasn’t until I was looking at forums to figure out how to replace the electric fan that I realized how many others had the exact experience, and then to find that they recalled 2019 and up. I believe they should have included 2018 and from what others have said 2017 as well.
