Electrical system, ignition, anti-theft, immobilizer/proximity, key/senderFeb 16, 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.
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.

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2014-2016 Rogue vehicles. The electrical connector for the under dash harness may corrode due to water and salt intrusion from the driver's side foot well.
Corrosion in the electrical connector can result in power window/seat failure, all-wheel-drive warning light illumination, battery drainage, and electrical connector damage that increases the risk of a fire.
Dealers will remove the harness tape and harness covering and replace both connectors and apply white lithium grease to the connectors as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 23, 2022. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall is R21B9.

In these vehicles, the front seat passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) may incorrectly classify an adult passenger as a child or classify the seat as empty despite it being occupied. As a result, the passenger frontal air bag may be turned off and not deploy in the event of a crash.
If the passenger frontal air bag does not deploy as intended in the event of a crash, the passenger is at an increased risk of injury.
Nissan will notify their owners. Chevrolet City Express owners will be notified by General Motors. Dealers will reprogram the Air Bag Control Unit (ACU) and OCS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) in Altima, Maxima, Murano, Rogue, and Sentra vehicles, and replace the OCS ECU in LEAF, NV200, NV200 Taxi, Pathfinder, Infiniti Q50, JX35, and QX60 and Chevrolet City Express vehicles, free of charge.

BUMPERS ARE NOT SECURE. THEY USE A PLASTIC SHIELDING THAT DO NOT PROPERLY PROTECT AGAINST BAD ACCIDENTS. MOST VEHICLES BARELY HAVE PROTECTIVE BUMPERS, PUTTING PEOPLE'S LIVES AT RISK. EVERY YEAR, NEW MODELS BRING LESS FRONT AND REAR ACCIDENT IMPACT PROTECTION. IT IS A GOOD DEAL FOR MANUFACTURERS AND INSURANCE COMPANIES, BUT NOT FOR CUSTOMERS. ON JANUARY 2017, I SUFFERED AN ACCIDENT WHERE MY FRONT "BUMPER" NEEDED TO BE FIXED, BUT MY DEALERSHIP CHARGED ME FOR ABOUT $5,500.00TO REPLACE A "PROTECTIVE PLASTIC SHIELDING" AND THE COMPRESSOR. NOW MI INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE CHARGING ME A LOT TO RENEW MY POLICIES. *TT *TR

I BOUGHT THIS 2015 NISSAN ROGUE SL BRAND NEW, WITH THE PLASTIC STILL ON IT. SINCE I'VE OWNED IT I HAVE HAD NOTHING EXCEPT PROBLEMS WITH THE DRIVERS SEAT. NAMELY THE FRAME OF THE SEAT HAS BEEN REPLACED 2 TIMES. THE PLASTIC COVERING ON THE SIDE OF THE SEAT WITH THE POWER SEAT CONTROLS HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES. THE LATEST THIS PAST WEEK. THEN THE CHROME MOLDING ON TOP OF THE DRIVERS DOOR KEEPS COMING OFF AND HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES. THEN BACK TO THE SEAT ISSUE. I MIGHT ADD THAT THE PLASTIC PART OF AT THE BOTTON OF THE PASSENGER SEAT ON THE SIDE IS NOW NEEDING REPLACED. AS FAR AS THE DRIVERS SEAT GOES, WHEN ACCELERATING OR STOPPING, IT CLICKS. SO I EXPECT THAT THE FRAME WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN SOON. THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH THIS IS THAT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS BOUGHT IS GETTING TIRED OF FIXING THIS STUFF. THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE NOT SURE HOW MANY MORE TIMES NISSAN WILL WARRANTY THIS STUFF OUT. WE SHALL SEE. WITH ALL MY ISSUES, I AM NOT SO SURE I WANT TO KEEP THIS ROGUE SL FOR THE DURATION OF THE LOAN. LET ALONE PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN VEHICLE.

I WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON MILITARY TRAIL PREPARING TO TURN RIGHT AT PIPERS GLEN. THE LIGHT WAS GREEN AND THERE WAS A WHITE CAR IN THE MIDDLE LANE WAITING TO ENTER MILITARY. I SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE MY TURN AND SUDDENLY MY CAR ACCELERATED. IF I CONTINUED TO TURN THERE WAS NO DOUBT I WOULD HAVE HIT THE WAITING CAR. I PROCEEDED STRAIGHT, PASSED THIS CAR AND DROVE ONTO A GRASSY AREA. MY FRONT WHEEL HIT THE CURB WHICH SLOWED MY CAR BUT PUSHED ME ALONG THE SIDE OF THE WHITE CAR CAUSING DAMAGE TO BOTH CARS. THE FIRE TRUCKS CAME AND A POLICE CAR. SINCE NO ONE WAS HURT I WAS INSTRUCTED TO LEAVE MY CAR THERE TO BE TOWED . MY SON PICKED ME UP AND I CALLED THE TOWING CO. ABOUT 1 HOUR LATER I WAS CALLED AND TOLD THE TOW WAS ON THE WAY. WHEN WE ARRIVED TO WHERE MY CAR WAS I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE THE FRONT LIGHTS ON. THERE WAS A MOTOR NOISE AND THE HOOD WAS HOT . WHENWE LEFT THE CAR THERE IT WAS LOCKED AND THE MOTOR WAS NOT ON. IF THIS WERE NOT THE CASE I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO LOCK THIS CAR HAVING A KEYLESS ENTRY. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT EVER DRIVING THIS CAR WITH LESS THAN 10,000 MILES. I CALLED BOTH NISSAN AND THE REPAIR COMPANY AND REPORTED WHAT HAPPENED. THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD SCAN THE CAR BUT SOMETIMES NOTHING SHOWS UP. I USE MILITARY TRAIL ALMOST EVERY DAY AND PIPERS GLEN LEADS TO MY HOME. I AM HAPPY THAT NO ONE WAS HURT BUT HAUNTED BY REALIZING WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED IF I ATTEMPED TO MAKE THAT RIGHT TURN.BOTH THESE ROADS ARE CITY STREETS.I HAVE NO PICTURESEXCEPT FOR MY MEMORY.

RATTLE VARIES BETWEEN WINDOWS (IN MY VEHICLE, DRIVERS WINDOW IS WORST), SO IT LOOKS LIKE A VARIANCE IN PRODUCTION OF VEHICLE. THE HIGHER THE SPEED, THE MORE THE WINDOW SHAKES.
