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.

SINCE I PURCHASED MY CAR NEW IN 2016, I WOULD NOTICE WHILE DRIVING OUR CITY ROADS THAT MY HOOD WOULD SHAKE LIKE IT WASN'T SECURE. I HAD MY HUSBAND CHECK IT TO MAKE SURE IT WAS SECURE AND IT WAS. ON JULY 5TH, 2018 WE TRAVELED FROM TUCSON, AZ TO ELY, NEVADA. I WAS SCARED TO DEATH EVERY TIME A ONCOMING VEHICLE WOULD PASS US BECAUSE IT LOOKED AS IF MY HOOD WAS GOING TO RIP RIGHT OFF. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE NOTICED THIS AND WERE SCARED. I HAVE SINCE PARKED MY CAR AND AM WAITING TO GET IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT AS WITH EVERYTHING ELSE THEY WILL TELL ME UNLESS THERE IS A PROBLEM REPORTED THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO.
Electrical system, Aug 13, 2018
THE CONTROL PANEL DISPLAY LOOKS TO BE OUT. IT IS VERY HARD TO READ. IT ONLY DIMS OR BRIGHTENS BUT IS NOT CLEAR ENOUGH TO READ. THIS HAPPENED FROM ONE DAY TO THE NEXT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT 2 YEARS OLD YET AND THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. THIS WAS NOT DUE TO AN ACCIDENT IT APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM SEEMS MORE LIKELY, CAUSE BY A FAULTY ELECTRONIC COMPONENT
Power train, Aug 11, 2018
MY 2016 NISSAN ROGUE EXPERIENCED AN ABRUPT AND TOTAL FAILURE OF THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE AND THE VEHICLE WOULD LURCH AND LOSE POWER. THIS ABRUPT FAILURE MAKES ME FEEL VERY UNSAFE FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY THAT RIDES IN THIS CAR, HAD IT STALLED ON THE BUSY ST LOUIS MO INTERSTATES WE WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT AND POSSIBLY KILLED, LUCKILY I WAS ON A BUSY, BUT LESS TRAVELED ROAD AND I WAS ABLE TO LIMP THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 41,000 MILES ON IT. ONCE I GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP, I INSISTED THAT THEY RIDE WITH ME SO THEY KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND NOT TRY TO SAY THAT THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE WHEN DRIVING IT ALONE. THE SERVICE PROFESSIONAL WAS VERY UPFRONT AND HONEST WITH ME AND TOLD ME IT WAS DEFINITELY THE TRANSMISSION AND NISSAN HAS TONS OF THESE ISSUES WITH THEIR VEHICLES. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR OVER A WEEK NOW FOR A TRANSMISSION REBUILD. HOWEVER, NISSAN IS NOT OFFERING AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OR ANYTHING ON IT, EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW THEY ARE FAULTY AND DANGEROUS, I WILL ONLY HAVE 20,000 MILES LEFT ON MY WARRANTY ONCE I PICK MY CARE UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP. NISSAN DOESN'T OFFER LOANER CARS TO THOSE WITH WARRANTY WORK THAT NEEDS DONE, WE HAVE TO PAY $35 A DAY DUE TO THEIR FAULTY VEHICLES, THE LEAST THEY CAN DO IS OFFER LOANER VEHICLES FOR WARRANTY WORK! NISSAN NEEDS TO HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR LEMON VEHICLES AND BE REQUIRED TO BUY THEM BACK ON THE FIRST TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR, EVEN WITH THE REBUILT TRANSMISSION AND I DON'T THINK THAT IT SHOULD BE MY RESPONSIBILITY TO TRADE THE CAR IN, ROLL OVER THOUSANDS TO ANOTHER VEHICLE LOAN AND PAY $1500 OR MORE IN TAXES TO LICENSE AND TITLE ANOTHER VEHICLE. NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF THIS AND THEY NEED TO BE FINED FOR THEIR CONTINUED USE OF FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS AND MADE TO BUY BACK FAULTY AND DANGEROUS VEHICLES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. UPON DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, A LOUD DRAGGING NOISE WAS HEARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE CVT WAS FAULTY. A DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 69,000.

I HAVE A 2016 NISSAN ROGUE, I HAVE TOOK IT IN TO HAVE THE STRUTS REPLACED 6 TIMES AND IS AN ON GOING ISSUE AND I HAVE GOT IN CONTACT WITH NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. DEALERSHIP STATED THEY WERE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND THAT MY CAR WAS NOT THE ONLY ROGUE DOING THIS. THE FIRST TIME WAS ABOUT 3 MONTHS AFTER I GOT THE CAN SEPTEMBER OR OCTOBER 2016 AND MUSKOGEE NISSAN REPLACED THE STRUTS AND I LEFT AND WANT A BLOCK AND IT WAS STILL POPPING AND TUNED AROUND AND THEY LOOKED OVER AND I ENDED UP HAVING TO ORDER AND REPLACE THE ASSEMBLY. FEBRUARY 2018 FRONT LEFT SIDE MAKING POPPING NOISE OVER BUMPS AND RUBBING NOISE WHILE TURNING TOOK IN TO SUPERIOR OF FAYETTEVILLE AR. MILES 25999 THEY REPLACED THE STRUTS ON THE LEFT SIDE. JULY 5,2018 TOOK BACK TO MUSKOGEE NISSAN FOR THE RIGHT FRONT POPPING AGAIN AND THEY COULD NOT TELL IF IT WAS THE STRUTS OR THE BEARINGS AND ORDERED AND TOOK BACK IN TO REPLACE, MIND YOU THIS TAKES ANYWHERE TO 5 TO 7 HOURS TO FIX AND THEY HAVE NOT ONE TIME ASK IF I NEED A VEHICLE. THIS HAS PUT ME OUT OF WORK AND I DO NOT EXPECT TO HAVE ISSUES WITH A NEW CAR AT THIS TIME THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND WARRANTY WILL BE UP AT 36,000 AND I HAVE AT THIS TIME 34500.

WHEN ACCELERATING ON HIGHWAY OR CITY STREET, I NOTICED VEHICLE BEGAN MAKING A LOUD WHINING/PURRING NOISE. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED VEHICLE FROM AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED (AND I DO HAVE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY). THIS WAS A WEDNESDAY SO I WAS GIVEN A LOANER VEHICLE ON THURSDAY WHILE MY CAR WOULD BE IN THE SHOP OVER THE WEEKEND. MONDAY MORNING, NEVER HEARD ANYTHING FROM DEALERSHIP. TUESDAY, SAME. WEDNESDAY, STILL NO WORD LATE IN THE AFTERNOON SO I HAD TO CALL AND THE SERVICE COORDINATOR INFORMS ME THAT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION BECAUSE NISSAN STATES THE NOISE THE TRANSMISSION IS MAKING IS NOT "LOUD" ENOUGH. THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT ON MY VEHICLE THAT IS TITLED "INFORMATION TO PREVENT CVT REPLACEMENT DUE TO MISDIAGNOSIS OF NOISE" THAT THE DEALERSHIP'S SHOP FOREMAN WENT THROUGH AND THEIR CONCLUSION WAS THAT THIS IS WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. I CALLED NISSAN AND OPENED A CASE. MY CASE MANAGER SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP AND MY CASE WAS CLOSED BECAUSE ACCORDING TO THE SHOP TECHNICIAN AND NISSAN, THERE'S NOTHING "MECHANICALLY" WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE AND IT IS "WORKING PROPERLY" IT JUST MAKES AN UNPLEASANT NOISE. SO I CALLED NISSAN AND RE-OPENED MY CASE AND THE ASSISTANT OF MY CASE MANAGER INFORMS ME THAT MY NEXT STEP WOULD BE TO TAKE IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THEM DIAGNOSE IT AND SEE IF THEIR FINDINGS ARE DIFFERENT. THERE ARE NO NEARBY ALTERNATE NISSAN DEALERSHIPS THAT I CAN EASILY TAKE MY VEHICLE TO. NISSAN IS FORCING ME TO CONTINUE DRIVING MY VEHICLE DESPITE THEM KNOWING THERE IS A KNOWN FAILURE AND EXPECTING ME TO CONTINUE MAKING MONTHLY PAYMENTS FOR A VEHICLE THAT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING.

FRONT COLLISION SENSOR GOES OFF AT RANDOM SPEEDS WHILE TRAVELING FORWARD WITH NO ONE ON THE ROAD AHEAD. THE VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY APPLIES THE BRAKE IN SOME INSTANCES. THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM ALSO RESETS ITSELF PERIODICALLY. PRIOR SERVICE HAS HAD THE ENTIRE BODY CONTROL MODULE REPLACED, BUT ELECTRICAL ISSUES PERSIST. MULTIPLE DEALERS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH ISSUES ARE STILL PRESENT. SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD BY VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY APPLYING BRAKE RANDOMLY AND NISSAN STILL DOES NOTHING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THESE INSTANCE HAPPEN ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS.
Power train, Jul 11, 2018
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE ACCELERATING, AN ABNORMAL WINDING NOISE WAS HEARD. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

OUR 2016 NISSAN ROGUE WAS STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION AT 6:30 A.M. ON A CITY ROADWAY WHEN WE HEARD A LOUD POPPING NOISE AND THE SOUND OF BREAKING GLASS. WE OPENED THE COVER TO THE SUN ROOF AND THE SMALLER SUN ROOF ABOVE THE DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER SEATS WAS SHATTERED, BUT THE GLASS REMAINED INTACT. WE CHECKED THE SURROUNDING AREA AND COULD NOT FIND ANY OBJECT THAT COULD HAVE STRUCK THE VEHICLE, OR PEOPLE. AS SEEN IN THE PHOTOS, THE GLASS WAS BROKEN OUTWARDS FROM THE CAR. THE WEATHER WAS CLEAR, AND VISIBILITY WAS GOOD.

ON THE MORNING OF 6/11/2018, WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, I HEARD A LOUD 'GUN SHOT' SOUND. INSPECTION OF MY CAR ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SHOWED NO DAMAGE. DRIVING HOME FROM WORK THAT NIGHT, ABOUT 70MPH, ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD NOISE OVERHEAD. LOOKING OUT MY REARVIEW MIRROR REVEALED THAT MY SUNROOF HAD JUST SHATTERED AND ALL THE CARS BEHIND ME WERE BEING HIT WITH THE SHARDS OF GLASS.

THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FENTON NISSAN OF KNOXVILLE (4515 CLINTON HWY, KNOXVILLE, TN 37912, 865-687-6111), BUT THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE SOUND.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 23,000. *TT

WHEN SHUTTING THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR THE SUNROOF EXPLODED. NISSAN WOULD NOT COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY SAID THE SUNROOF MUST HAVE PREVIOUSLY BEEN DAMAGED. IT IS ON TOP OF THE CAR, NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO BE DAMAGED BY ANY DEBRIS FROM ROAD SINCE IT WOULD EITHER HIT THE WINDSHIELD OR FLY OVER THE VEHICLE, SO HOW WAS IT DAMAGED? NOT TOO HAPPY WITH NISSAN SINCE MY RESEARCH LED TO A WEBSITE THAT STATED THE ROGUE WAS IN THE TOP 10 FOR VEHICLES WITH MOST RANDOMLY EXPLODING SUNROOFS.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DAVIDSON FORD (18621 US-11, WATERTOWN, NY 13601) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE RODENTS WERE ENTERING THROUGH THE HEATING DUCT SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE ISSUE RECURRED. THE CONTACT CALLED DAVIDSON NISSAN (18423 US-11, WATERTOWN, NY 13601) WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT TO FILE A HOMEOWNER'S CLAIM AND THE DEALER WOULD THEN PAY FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE RODENT INFESTATION.

2016 NISSAN ROGUE 2 YEARS OLD, AND TRANSMISSION SLIPPED ALREADY. I HAVE QUITE A FEW MILES, BUT SPOKE TO MULTIPLE REPAIR MEN WHO HAVE SAID THE ROGUE IS KNOWN FOR THAT AND I BOUGHT A LEMON CAR. WHEN I DRIVE AND PRESS PEDAL THE CAR HAS NO POWER AND RPM KEEPS GOING UP/ DOWN ALSO YOU CAN HEAR A WHINING IN THE CAR .

I PURCHASED MY 2016 NISSAN ROGUE AT THE END OCT OF 2016. SO I'VE OWNED IT FOR 17 MONTHS AND IT HAS APPROX 24K MILES. UP UNTIL FEB 24TH, 2018, I HAD NO ISSUES SAVE FOR EXTRA RATTLE-Y DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW. ON THAT DATE IT WAS TAKEN IN FOR REGULAR MAINTENENCE (OIL/ROTATION/BALANCE). SINCE THAT TIME THE CAR IS NOT HANDLING WELL, AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A WINDY DAY OR IT WAS SLIPPERY ROAD DUE TO RAIN, BUT AS TIME WENT ON, THE CAR SEEMED WOBBLY/BOUNCY ON IT'S WHEELS (40+ MPH) AND WOULD BEGIN TO SLIP/SLIDE/SKIP OUT OF THE LANE (60+ MPH) I'M DRIVING IN. I AM ABLE TO CORRECT FOR IT BUT IT'S SCARY TO DRIVE AND FEELS LIKE IT'S GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT'S STRUGGLING TO GO UP SMALL HILL (30 MPH) AND WHEELS/TIRES DON'T SEEM TO BE GRIPPING THE ROAD EVENLY. I HAVE TAKEN BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE AGREED SOMETHING IS WRONG AND IT'S NOT A TIRE BALANCE OR ALIGNMENT TYPE OF ISSUE. THUS FAR I'VE ONLY BEEN TOLD IT'S NOT SAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE, POSSIBLY AXLE OR DRIVETRAIN ISSUE. AT THIS TIME THEY HAVE PROVIDED A SUBPAR LOANER AND ARE STATING THAT THE REPAIRS WILL BE UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER, I AM HUGELY CONCERNED THAT SOMETHING OF THIS MAGNITUDE IS ALREADY BECOME AN ISSUE. AT THIS POINT, I DON'T WAN'T THE CAR ANYMORE. ONCE THEY HAVE MADE REPAIRS, I AM FORTUNATE THAT I CAN PROBABLY AFFORD TO JUST TRADE IN AND GET A NEW (NOT NISSAN AGAIN EVER) CAR. BUT I FEEL CONCERNED IF SOMEONE ELSE WERE TO PURCHASE MY TRADE IN AS A USED CAR NOT KNOWING THE POTENTIAL HIDDEN SAFETY ISSUES THAT MAY (LIKELY) ARISE.

WHEN DRIVING THE POSTED SPEED LIMITS ON EXPRESSWAY THE HOOD FLUTTERS UP AND DOWN. IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS NOT SECURELY LATCHED ON. I PULLED OVER MULTIPLE TIMES TO CHECK IF HOOD WAS SECURELY LATCHED AND IT 'WAS DEFINITELY LOOSE. I TOOK INTO NISSAN FOR SERVICING AND THEY SAID IT WAS IN THE SPECIFIED PARAMETER- THEY TOLD ME TO CALL THEIR CUSTOMER CARE LINE TO SEE IF SOMETHING COULD BE DONE. I DROVE BELOW THE POSTED LIMIT FOR FEAR THAT THE HOOD WOULD FLY BACK AND HIT THE WINDSCREEN. THE HOOD SEEMS FLLIMISILY MANUFACTURED AND COULD BE OF STURDIER QUALITY.

ON 8/28/2017, I WAS DRIVING ON CALIFORNIA RT. 395 SOUTH WHILE THE RENTAL CAR I WAS IN, NISSAN ROGUE 2016, WENT OFF HIGHWAY INTO THE DESERT ON A SPEED 65MPH. I ENDED UP INJURED, WITH BROKEN VERTEBRA, AND CURRENTLY ON LONG TERM DISABILITY. I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN A CAR; WAS TAKEN TO BARSTOW COMMUNITY HOSPITAL BY AMBULANCE. AS I EXAMINE THIS ACCIDENT IN MY MEMORY, I CANNOT RECALL ANY MISTAKES IN DRIVING ON MY PART . ALL OF A SUDDEN, I COULD NOT STEER, SO CAR WENT OFF HIGHWAY. THE OWNER OF THE CAR IS ENTERPRISE RENTAL; THE CAR WAS TOTALED. SINCE THEN, I WAS CONTACTED BY ELCO WHO CONTACTED NISSAN, AND NISSAN PROVIDED AN INSPECTION, FINDING NO PROBLEMS (SEE ATTACHED; I WAS NOT PRESENT.) I ALSO HAVE A REPAIR ESTIMATE FROM MOHAVE BODY (ATTACHED). PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: 1. POLICE REPORT IS PARTIALLY INCORRECT. THERE ARE TOO MANY INCONSISTENCIES, INCLUDING THE NAME OF THE PERSON FOUND RESPONSIBLE, AND THE MAKE OF HIS CAR. POLICE REPORT CANNOT BE ATTACHED DUE TO THE SIZE LIMITATION; YOU CAN PULL IT OUT USING ACCIDENT REPORT CARD (ATTACHED.) TO MY KNOWLEDGE, THERE WERE NO DIRECT WITNESSES, SOMEONE SAW IT FROM FAR AWAY. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE DAMAGE THAT I CAN PROVIDE. 2. THIS CAR WAS A REPLACEMENT FOR THE NATIONAL RENTAL CAR THAT HAD SOME PROBLEMS, SO I HAD TO EXCHANGE IT PER NATIONAL CAR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE REQUEST.THE NISSAN CAR HAD FAULTY FRONT PASSENGER TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR THAT THE RENTAL OFFICE WAS NOT AWARE OF, AND WHEN I POINTED IT OUT, CLAIMED THAT IT IS SAFE AND MANY NISSAN VEHICLES HAVE THIS PROBLEM. IT WAS INDICATING LOW PRESSURE WHILE IN FACT THE PRESSURE WAS TOO HIGH, OVER 40PSI. I CHECKED AND ADJUSTED TIRE PRESSURE IN DISCOUNT TIRE IN CARSON CITY, NV; THE FAULT MESSAGE DID NOT GO AWAY. I MAINTAIN THAT THE RENTAL AGENCY DID NOT PERFORM TECHNICAL INSPECTION OF THE CAR AS THEY HAD TO, AND THERE COULD BE SOME OTHER HIDDEN PROBLEMS BESIDES TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR.*DT

FUEL EFFICIENCY MARKETING SCAM, I BOUGHT A NISSAN ROGUE 2016 TWO YEARS AGO. THE DECISION WAS UPON ITS MARKETING IN EXTRAORDINARY FUEL EFFICIENCY THE NISSAN COMPANY HAS MADE, FOR LOCAL 29/HIGHWAY32. AFTER FEW MONTHS DRIVING EXPERIENCE AND TOLD BY THE DEALER AGENT, I NEED TO DRIVE MY CAR 5K-10K MILES THEN THE ENGINE WILL PROVIDED THAT FUEL EFFICIENCY. BUT AFTER TWO YEARS DRIVEN 27K MILES SIMPLY NOTHING CHANGED, MY CAR ONLY GETS 16/27 FOR LOCAL AND HIGHWAY AND AVERAGE OUT 17-18 MILES PER GALLON. I WAS SO UPSET MYSELF HAVE MADE THAT SUCH MISTAKENLY LEADED DECISION ON BUYING THIS FAKE MARKETING VEHICLE AND NOT SAVE MY GAS MONEY ALSO POLLUTING THE ENVIRONMENT. AS EVERY TIME I HAVE CONFRONTED WITH THE DEALERS TECHINICIAN AND AGENT ON THIS ISSUE, THEY SIMPLY SAID EXCUSES AND NOT DO ANYTHING. AS A RESULT, I HOPE MY ISSUE WILL BE TAKING CARE BY AND SUGGEST ALL FUTURE BUYER NOT TO BUY ANY NISSAN VEHICLES BECAUSE THEY LIE TO CONSUMERS AND THEY ARE NOT ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY ON FUEL EFFICIENCY !!

THE OWNER'S MANUAL FOR THE 2016 NISSAN ROGUE NOTES THE ABILITY TO INSTALL CAR SEATS IN BOTH THE OUTBOARD AND CENTER SEATING POSITIONS OF THE SECOND ROW OF THE VEHICLE. WHILE THERE ARE NO LATCH HOOKS FOR THE CENTER POSITION, THERE IS A CEILING-MOUNTED HOOK AND DIRECTIONS IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL FOR USE OF LAP BELTS TO SECURE A SEAT IN THE CENTER POSITION (SECTION 1-43). NISSAN, HOWEVER, HAS A SEPARATE RELEASE FOR ALL OF THEIR VEHICLES CALLED "SNUG KIDS' AND DENOTES WHICH CAR RESTRAINTS, CALLED CRSS, FUNCTION PROPERLY IN THEIR VEHICLES. FOR THE 2014-2017 NISSAN ROGUE, THE SNUG KIDS DOCUMENTATION FROM NISSAN SPECIFICALLY NOTES: "IMPORTANT NOTE FOR 2ND ROW INSTALLATION: WE DO NOT RECOMMEND INSTALLING ANY CRS IN THE CENTER SEATING POSITION." THIS CONTRADICTS CAR SEAT INSTALLATION DIRECTIONS FOUND IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL. I LEASED THIS VEHICLE WITH THE NEED TO PUT THREE CARS SEATS, OR CRSS, INTO MY CAR AND LEASED A 2016 NISSAN ROGUE BASED UPON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL. THE "SNUG KIDS' DOCUMENTS RELEASED BY NISSAN CONTRADICT THE MANUAL AND I THEREFORE LEASED THIS VEHICLE UNDER FALSE/INACCURATE/MISLEADING INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER. CLEARLY, NISSAN HAS UNCOVERED A SAFETY ISSUE WITH PLACING A CRS IN THEIR VEHICLE BUT NO RECALL EXISTS. FURTHER, NISSAN SEEMS UNWILLING TO HELP OWNERS WHO REPORT THIS ISSUE. I REPORTED THIS ISSUE, INCIDENT #29652572, AND NISSAN HAS DECLINED TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION. I WOULD LIKEN THIS ISSUE TO THE RECENT EMISSION ISSUES SURROUND VOLKSWAGEN WHERE THE VEHICLES WERE SOLD UNDER INACCURATE SPECIFICATIONS PROVIDED FROM THE MANUFACTURER. I AM ATTACHING COPIES OF BOTH THE OWNER'S MANUAL AND THE "SNUG KIDS" RELEASE. I HOPE THAT THIS REPORT TRIGGERS AN INVESTIGATION WHICH LEADS TO ACTION BY NISSAN/A RECALL OF THE NISSAN ROGUE.
