Recalls and investigations
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.

Electrical system, wiring, interior/under dashJan 21, 2022
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.

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Altima vehicles manufactured January 3, 2013, to July 29, 2013, 2015-2016 Rogue vehicles manufactured October 14, 2014, to August 12, 2016, and 2016 Maxima vehicles manufactured June 4, 2015, to August 19, 2015. An incorrect Occupant Classification System (OCS) Electronic Control Unit (ECU) may have been installed in the front passenger seat. The incorrect ECU and seat combination may misclassify the front passenger seat occupant.
If the front passenger seat occupant is misclassified, the air bag may deploy incorrectly in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

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.

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2015 Rogue vehicles manufactured February 10, 2015, to May 13, 2015. In the affected vehicles, due to a problem with the shift selector knob, it may be possible to shift out of the "Park" position without depressing the brake pedal.

NOW I TRIED TO PUT THE BRAKES BUT ITS STUCKED, I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR IT DIDN'T RESPONDED. SOON WITHING 4-5 SEC THE CAR PICKS UP SPEED, I CHANGED THE MODE TO PARKING, NOTHING HAPPENED. IT ROLLED DOWN AND FELL INTO A DITCH. NOTHING SERIOUSLY DAMAGED. BUT I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THAT CAR AGAIN. WHEN THE CAR WAS PULLED FROM THE DITCH THE BRAKES WERE STILL ON. I POINTED THAT OUT TO THE POLICE. THIS IS A NEW CAR JUST 2 MONTHS OLD. DIDN'T EXPECT THAT FROM NISSAN

TEERING WHEEL VIBRATES AT SPEEDS 25-55 MPH. MOST OF THE VIBRATION WILL STOP IF I DRIVE IN THE SPORT MODE. HAVE BACK TO DEALER THREE TIMES, BUT NO LUCK. THEY SAID OTHER 2015 ROGUE SHOW THE SAME PROBLEM, THERE IS NO TBS ISSUED YET, SO THEY BASICALLY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS FELT THE VIBRATIONS. YOU CAN ALMOST HEAR A LIKE A HARMONIC NOISE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN AND AM WAITING FOR A RESOLUTION OR SOMETHING. I ASKED NISSAN TO FIND A ROGUE THAT DOESN'T VIBRATE OR GET OUT OF MY LEASE WITH MY MONEY BACK.

2015 NISSAN ROGUE HAS GLARE/REFLECTION FROM INTERIOR DASH & VENT PLATE COVERS REFLECTING IN SIDE MIRRORS & WINDOWS CAUSING POOR VISIBILITY. INTERIOR IS DARK GREY WITH SHINY CHROME FIXTURES WHICH REFLECTS IN SIDE MIRRORS CAUSING DISTRACTION, HAZARDOUS SAFETY ISSUE. DAYTIME CAN SEE REFLECTION OF DRIVER IN WINDOW. NIGHTTIME THE DASH PANEL WITH IT'S LIGHTS GLARE OUTSIDE DRIVER WINDOW BLOCKING SIDE MIRROR VIEW OF TRAFFIC VISIBILITY. SITUATION IS ANNOYING & A SAFETY CONCERN. NISSAN DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO HELP CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A NEW VEHICLE (PURCHASED ON 9/16/15) & NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DRIVER SAFETY.

Power train, Service brakes, Oct 2, 2015
I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ONE EVENING, AND SINCE THE OTHER VEHICLES WERE PASSING ME ON THE FREEWAY. I DECIDED TO CHANGE FROM "ECO" MODE TO "SPORT" MODE BECAUSE THE ACCELERATION IS MORE RESPONSIVE AND SMOOTH. WHEN I DID THIS I HIT 3 RPM'S AND TRAFFIC WAS SLOWING DOWN SO I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE NEEDLE JUST STEADILY SHOOK AT 3 RPM'S AND I COULD HEAR THE ENGINE REVVING AND ACCELERATING AS I WAS PUSHING THE BREAKS. SO JUST TO MAKE SURE I KNEW WHAT I EXPERIENCED WAS TRUE I MOVED ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT LANE. THEN PROCEEDED TO ACCELERATE UP TO 3 RPM'S AND SURE ENOUGH WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES IT CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. I REPEATED THIS 4 MORE TIMES. THEN THE RPM FINALLY CAME BACK DOWN. WHAT I TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS YES "SPORT" MODE DOES KEEP RPM'S HIGH I LIKE THAT THAT'S THE REASON WHY I DRIVE IN THAT MODE ON THE FREEWAY. THE ISSUE IS THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO COME DOWN AND NOT REV WHENEVER I PUSH THE BRAKES. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS EXCLUSIVE TO MY VEHICLE OR NOT. I JUST DON'T WANT TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE FACT OF A DETERIORATED FAULTY SYSTEM IN THE VEHICLE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN WATT AVE. TOWARD FOLSOM BLVD IN SACAMENTO, CA. ALL OF A SUDDEN MY LEFT REAR TIRE WAS FLAT. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER IN A PARKING LOT AND CALLED ROADSIDE SERVICE. THE PERSON WHO CHANGED THE TIRE INSPECTED IT AND TOLD ME THERE WAS NO PUNCTURE AND THAT IT JUST BLEW -TEAR ON THE SIDEWALL. AMERICA'S TIRE STORE INSPECTED IT AND COULD FIND NO OBJECTS IN OR OUTSIDE THE TIRE. ATS HAS TAKEN PICTURES AND I HAVE ALSO. THEY SENT THE PICTURES TO HANKOOK TO ASK FOR A CREDIT AND, TO DATE, WE HAVE HEARD NOTHING FROM THEM. I HAVE PICTURES THAT CLEARLY SHOW THE TEAR AND ATS TOOK PICTURES OF THE INSIDE AS WELL. I WAS PRESENT WHEN THEY REMOVED AND INSPECTED THE TIRE AND NOTHING WAS FOUND. I BELIEVE THE TIRE IS DEFECTIVE AND NOW I'M AFRAID THE OTHER TIRES ARE ALSO. I HAVE REPLACED THE BACK TIRES WITH MICHELIN AND PLAN TO REPLACE THE FRONT TIRES SOON. ATS HAS THE DEFECTIVE TIRE AT THEIR SHOP AT 2256 ARDEN WAY, SACRAMENTO, CA. I ALSO HAVE THE STATEMENT FROM THE MAN WHO CHANGED THE TIRE.

VEHICLE SIDE WINDOW GLASS RATTLES AND SHAKES WHEN WINDOWS ARE PARTIALLY OPEN. THEY ARE NOT SECURED PROPERLY INTO DOOR FRAME. COULD LEAD TO WINDOW BREAKING OR EXPLODING AT SPEED, CAUSING HEAVY DISTRACTION AND POTENTIAL ACCIDENT. 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.

THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE WHEN PRESSED WAS NOT RELEASING THE SEAT BELT FOR THE SECOND ROW LEFT SEAT PASSENGER (BEHIND THE DRIVER'S SEAT). WE SPENT ONE HOUR PLUS TO RELEASE THE PASSENGER AS WE SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP BUT THE RESOLUTION WAS TO CUT THE SEAT BELT TO FREE THE PASSENGER.

AFTER PARKING ON A STEEP INCLINE, I SET THE PARKING BRAKE BY PUSHING THE PARKING BRAKE PEDAL. THE BRAKE WAS SET. UPON RETURNING TO VEHICLE, I STARTED VEHICLE, PLACED IN DRIVE, ATTEMPTED TO RELEASE PARKING BRAKE. I WAS UNAWARE OF HOW TO RELEASE BRAKE.(PREVIOUS AND POST YEAR ROGUES STATE ON THE PARKING BRAKE PEDAL "PUSH ON PUSH OFF". MY CAR HAD A PLAIN BLACK PEDAL WITH NO INSCRIPTION). WHILE ATTEMPTING TO FIND THE PARKING BRAKE RELEASE, I ACCIDENTALLY PULLED THE LEVER TO OPEN THE HOOD WITCH IS LOCATED IN THE AREA OF MY PARKING BRAKE RELEASE OF MY DODGE. I GOT OUT TO CLOSE HOOD LEAVING THE CAR IN DRIVE. UPON RETURNING TO DRIVERS SEAT MY RIGHT FOOT TOUCHED THE PARKING BRAKE PEDAL, RELEASING BRAKE AND THE CAR SPED DOWNHILL WITH 2 PASSENGERS ABOARD AND DRAGGING ME OUTSIDE THE CAR REACHING APP. 35 MPH BEFORE CRASHING INTO TREE. HAD THE PARKING BRAKE PEDAL BEEN INSCRIBED "PUSH ON PUSH OFF", AS IN PREVIOUS AND POST YEARS OF THE SAME MODEL CAR I WOULD HAVE SEEN HOW TO RELEASE PARKING BRAKE. I HAVE PHOTOS OF DIFFERENT YEARS 2011 THRU 2014 OF THIS MODEL SHOWING "PUSH ON PUSH OFF" AND VIDEO OF MY 2015 NISSAN ROGUE SV (TOP OF THE LINE MODEL) WITH A PLAIN "NO INSCRIPTION" RUBBER PARKING BRAKE PEDAL. THERE ARE NO OTHER INSTRUCTIONS ANYWHERE IN THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR THAT STATE HOW TO RELEASE PARKING BRAKE. THE OWNERS MANUAL DOES STATE HOW TO RELEASE BRAKE.

1)WHEN USE DEFROST SYSTEM WINDOW STAYS MOIST AND DOES NOT CLEAR UNTIL 30-60 MINS CAUSING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE. 2)FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT AND PASSENGER'S SEAT IS TOO CLOSE TO CONSOLE AND SCRUBS AGAINST CENTER CONSOLE WHEN MOVING SEAT BACK AND FORTH. 3)VEHICLE SMELLS OF ANTI-FREEZE WHEN ENTERS VEHICLE. ALSO FOR AUTO TO BE A 4-CYLINDER IT BURNS GAS QUICKLY. BECAUSE THE CENTER GEAR DOES NOT LOCK, IT'S TOO EASY TO MISTAKENLY KNOCK GEAR OUT OF MODE WHILE DRIVING I.E. GOES FROM DRIVE TO LOW OR NEUTRAL WITHOUT EFFORT. ALSO JUST GOT AN OIL CHANGE AT 10,000 MILES, CAR HAS ABOUT 11,000 MILES AND COMPUTER ALERTING ME THAT NEED OIL CHANGE. I WILL BE BRINGING VEHICLE TO NISSAN OF GARDEN CITY SERVICE DEPT ON WED 8/26/15 AND WILL REQUEST A COMPLETE THOROUGH DIAGNOSTIC OF VEHICLE AND WILL BE PREPARED TO LEAVE VEHICLE UNTIL EVERY THING IS CORRECTED IN EXCHANGE FOR A LOANER VEHICLE.

TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY ABOUT 60 MPH WHEN A SEMI PASSED US GOING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. AFTER HE PASSED THERE WAS A LOUD EXPLOSION. WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT HAD HAPPENED. WE DISCOVERED THAT THE SUNROOF WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED AND GLASS WAS EVERYWHERE. LUCKILY WE HAD THE INSIDE ROOF COVER CLOSED OR WE WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED WITH GLASS. WE THOUGHT A ROCK HAD BEEN KICKED UP BY THE SEMI BUT NO ROCK WAS FOUND. WE HAD PURCHASED OUR VEHICLE ON MAY 14, 2015 AND THIS HAPPENED EXACTLY ONE WEEK LATER ON MAY 21, 2015. TOTAL COST OF REPLACING SUNROOF WAS $1914.07. WE WERE STILL UNDER ASSUMPTION THAT IT WAS A ROCK THAT CAUSED THE DAMAGE UNTIL WE SAW THE WORLD NEWS REPORT ON EXPLODING SUNROOFS. THIS MATCHED OUR INCIDENT TO THE TEE.

VEHICLE STALLS EVERYDAY EVER SINCE WE FIRST PURCHASED THE CAR IN FEBRUAR 2015. IT STALLS WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT AND WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE ENGINE WARNING SIGNAL COMES ON AFTER THE STALL. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO 2 DIFFERENT SERVICE LOCATIONS (PUENTE HILLS NISSAN AND IMPERIO NISSAN IN IRVINE) BUT FAILED TO DETECT THE PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY STRESSFUL SITUATION WHERE THE TECHNICIANS ARE NOT ABLE TO DETECT THE ISSUE. I SEARCHED AND FOUND THAT THERE'S BEEN A NATIONWIDE RECALL ON 2014 ROGUE ON THE SAME ISSUE (SEE BELOW): NEWS: NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN 2014 NISSAN ROGUE VEHICLES; FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE REPORT RECEIPT DATE: APR 03, 2015 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V197000 COMPONENT(S): FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 76,242 APRIL 2015 -- NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. (NISSAN) IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2014 NISSAN ROGUE VEHICLES MANUFACTURED JUNE 11, 2013, TO JUNE 7, 2014. IMPROPER NICKEL PLATING OF COMPONENTS WITHIN THE FUEL PUMP MAY RESULT IN THE FUEL PUMP FAILING. IF THE FUEL PUMP FAILS, THE VEHICLE MAY STALL WITHOUT WARNING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. NISSAN WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP, FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN IN APRIL 2015. OWNERS MAY ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), OR GO TO WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV

THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE DOORS DO NOT UNLOCK UNTIL YOU PRESS THE ENGINE STOP BUTTON. THEN ALL THE DOORS UNLOCK, NOT JUST THE DRIVER'S DOOR. THAT MAKES IT VERY EASY FOR CAR JACKERS, PURSE SNATCHERS, AND CHILD ABDUCTORS TO WAIT AT A GAS STATION FOR YOU TO PULL UP, TURN OFF YOUR ENGINE SO YOU CAN GET OUT, AND COMMIT THEIR CRIME WHEN ALL THE DOORS UNLOCK. OBVIOUSLY THE SAME WOULD BE TRUE IF FOR SOME REASON YOU WERE PULLING INTO A SHOPPING MALL OR GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT. THERE IS A METHOD TO REVERSE THE OPERATION SO NO DOORS UNLOCK WHEN YOU TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND THIS IS SAFER, EXCEPT:..THE DRIVER'S DOOR LOCK AND FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK ARE NOT MECHANICALLY CONNECTED THE THE DOOR HANDLE. IE, IF YOU DISABLE THE AUTO DOOR UNLOCK, YOU CANNOT OPEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR IN AN EMERGENCY -- LIKE A CAR FIRE, HEART ATTACK, ACCIDENT -- UNLESS YOU CAN FIND AND RELEASE THE DOOR LOCK WHICH HAS BEEN "AESTHETICALLY" HIDDEN IN THE DOOR AND DESIGNED SO IT IS NOT EASILY OPENED -- I ASSUME TO PREVENT SOMEONE FROM USING A WIRE TO UNLOCK THE DOOR. THIS IS THE FIRST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER DRIVEN THAT THE DRIVER (AND FRONT SEAT PASSENGER) CANNOT EXIT WITHOUT MANUALLY FINDING AND FLIPPING THE DOOR LOCK. HOW INSANE IS THAT? ... I MENTIONED THAT NONE OF MY AMERICAN CARS HAD THIS PROBLEM AND THE MECHANIC I WAS TALKING TO SAID IT WAS ONLY A NISSAN THING. NO OTHER CAR THAT HE KNOWS OF WILL NOT LET THE DRIVER EXIT THE CAR BY PULLING THE DOOR HANDLE...HIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND YOU TRULY HAVE VERY LITTLE CONTROL OVER YOUR OWN SECURITY IN THIS VEHICLE. ANY PERSON WITH ANY KIND OF EVEN MINOR HAND DISABILITY, LIKE ARTHRITIS, WOULD HAVE A VERY HARD TIME UNLOCKING THE CAR DOORS. THE TRULY CRAZY THING IS THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT, MAYBE, 5-10 CENTS OF CLOTHES HANGER-TYPE WIRE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND POTENTIALLY SAVE PEOPLE'S LIVES. DOES THIS VIOLATE ADA RULES?.....UPDATED 09/22/15 *BF UPDATED 11/27/2017*CN
