    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.

    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.

    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.

Representative owner complaints

440 reports, newest first.

  1. Electrical system, Sep 29, 2022

    The wiring seems faulty. The dash wiring is blinking, surging, and the vehicle won’t start at times. The starting issue is intermittent. Nissan acknowledged a recall on 2014-2016 Nissan Rogue for for having this wiring issue with these same symptoms. However, they are saying that this specific VIN does not have a recall for this wiring issue. Yet, all the symptoms are the same. They want $500 to even consider diagnostic testing rather than just checking for the same issue as all the others that are recalled for the same problem. This is a complete injustice that needs to be addressed.

    Hi, I have issue reported from Nissan dealer for my Nissan Rogue 2014 model -first owner. It just did 56487 miles and I have done regular servicing maintenance for oil changes as per standards. Despite all this ,on (13th Aug 2022) the issue started I noticed lurching,jerk and stalls whenever I stop at intersection or comes to sudden halt with warning in dashboard. I have to put the gear to Park mode and switch on the car again and it starts with slight jerk and able to drive . as such there are no warning lights when car is started. Just happened 2-3 times and I had to let it at dealer for diagnostics on (15th Aug 2022) the dealer said my transmission is defective and has issues and out of warranty since they consider only 1st 7 yrs and I am at a loss to replace transmission and problem was reported for one more timing solenoid problem .i was told one of the 3 solenoid is also having problem. it happened even while i come at slow speeds and merge at Highway too. This is dangerous to drive when such things happen . I am not happy with the car hardly 7 yrs and coming to halt to give a big expense for such a brand car and puts safety of passengers on risk in just around 50K mileage range.

    I'm reaching out in hopes of getting an answer on when the remedy for the recall number R21B9 for 2014 Nissan rogue. My car has been at the Nissan dealership for many days with every issue this recall represents. Water wicking up in the harness and connectors, it's eroded multiple electrical parts. Power steering, airbag connectors have been negatively affected etc. I'm being quoted an outrageous amount. Since I'm in need of a car, I told them to start with the repairs, although I don't have any confirmation of what Nissan will do to compensate me or when... I can provide you with the documents and proof that my car is dangerous and malfunctioning due to this recall, directly from the Nissan dealer. Please respond with how to proceed.

    In August 2021, my CVT transmission went out while traveling out of state. The vehicle was only 6 years old and had just recently reached 100,000 miles. There was no prior warning that would have alerted me to this issue, and the vehicle was checked out before taking the road trip. After having to tow the vehicle to a repair shop, I had to get a rebuilt CVT transmission from Nissan which took over a month. My family and I had to fly back home and were without a vehicle for over a month. In May 2022, while on another road trip, my vehicle stopped accelerating, the check engine light came on, and wouldn't shift. After turning off the vehicle for a while, it started shifting again. On July 3, 2022, the same issue happened again. I will have to take the "new" CVT transmission in again for a transmission issue.

  16. Power train, Other or unspecified, Jul 1, 2022

    I was driving on the highway on my way to work when the check engine light came on in my car. I was pressing my foot on the pedal and trying to accelerate but my car wasn't gaining any speed. It got to the point where I started to lose speed and had to pull over on the side of the highway. When i was pressing on the pedal i heard a pumping like sound but the rpms were not going up at all and the car wasn't moving. Going in reverse did not work either. I waited around 20 minutes for the car to cool down and I was then able to drive at low speed to work. No one but me has looked at the car so far.

    When operating the vehicle under normal conditions the rear drive shaft cracked suddenly. The car began to shake and the smell of burning lubricant became noticeable. There was no impact that caused the crack.

    The driver's side leaks, filling the floor board with water. This is the precursor to the issue that caused the recall Manufacturer Recall Number: R21B9, NHTSA Recall Number: 22V-024 There was constantly water, several inches deep, on the drivers side floor. The dealership said they could not fix it so I found someone to fix the leak. The recall notice from Nissan says they will pay for repairs. I filed all of the paperwork Nissan asked for on the recall notice. Now they say they won't pay because they do not know how to fix it. I just want to be reimbursed for my out of pocket expense to make my car safe to drive.

  21. Other or unspecified, Engine, Jun 8, 2022

    This vehicle when driven in traffic or at a stop and go area will not accelerate at normal speed. The RPM goes up and the vehicle will not go. However when we’ve taken it to a mechanic or Nissan there is no issue with the transmission and when we turn the car off and the turn it back on the vehicle continues to work perfectly fine. No codes come up on the mechanic reading device and nothing shows as being wrong with the vehicle which leads me to believe it may be a recall. This is not only happening with my Nissan Rogue however it is happened in all Nissan Vehicles in general. I ask that you please look into this issue and figure out if it is a manufacturer malfunction.
