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.

SeatsOct 18, 2017
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Nissan Rogue vehicles. The recliner joints on the lower seat frame for the rear seats may have improper welds.

WHILE ON CITY STREETS, TRYING TO COME TO A STOP I APPLIED THE BREAKS AND NOTHING HAPPENED, I THEN HAD TO LET OFF THE PEDAL AND REAPPLY PRESSURE TO BRING THE CAR TO A STOP. I TOOK THE CAR INTO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY REFUSED TO LOOK AT THE CAR BECAUSE I HAVE HAD IT IN TO HAVE THE BREAKS, ENGINE HESITATION, EXTENDED ENGINE CRANK, AND AN A/C PROBLEM FIXED 6 TIMES IN 5 MONTHS. NISSAN HAS A TSB OUT FOR AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT HAS THEM RESET THE COMPUTER BUT IT DOES NOT FIX ANY ISSUES. NISSAN TOLD ME TO GET THE PROBLEMS TO STOP I NEED TO CYCLE THE KEY. WHEN I ASKED WHAT THAT MEANT THEY SAID TO STOP THE CAR, PUT IT IN PARK, TURN THE CAR OFF, AND TURN IT BACK ON. I SAID EVEN IF IT HAPPENS WHEN I AM DRIVING AT 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY? THEY SAID YES.

OUR ROGUE HAS THE FRONTAL BRAKE FEATURE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, UNDER RANDOM SITUATIONS IT HAS STARTED BEEPING AND SLOWING DOWN AND EVEN STOPPING FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHILE DRIVING. I DROPPED IT OFF AT THE DEALER TO SEE IF THEY FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS!!! WE CAN GET REAR ENDED WHILE TRAVELING IN THE HIGHWAYS. WE DRIVE WITH OUR CHILDREN OFTEN!!!! ON A LESSER NOTE, THERE IS A CONSTANT CLICKING ON THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT , ALMOST LIKE THE SEAT DOES NOT LOCK. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IN DECEMBER 2017 BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING ACROSS AND PARTICULAR SET OF INLAID RAILROAD TRACKS, THE ROGUE BEEPS AT ME AND THEN SLOWS DOWN OR SOMETIMES STOPS DUE TO THE FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKE (FEB) FEATURE. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE I FIGURED OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEY CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG. I'VE SINCE RESORTED TO TURNING OFF THE FEATURE WHILE DRIVING TO AVOID HAVING MY CAR STOP SUDDENLY. HOWEVER, THIS PAST WEEKEND AFTER FORGETTING TO TURN THE FEATURE OFF (WHICH YOU HAVE TO DO EVERY TIME YOU START THE CAR), MY FEB DEPLOYED AS WELL AS THE ABS LIGHT, THE SLIP LIGHT, AND THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN NOTHING WAS IN THE ROAD. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MOVE THE CAR TO SAFETY, THE FEB KEPT ON SLOWING ME DOWN AND THE BRAKES FELT AS IF THEY WERE GRINDING THE ENTIRE DRIVE. I TRIED TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON MULTIPLE TIMES TO SEE IF THE SYSTEM WOULD RESET ITSELF, BUT IT WOULDN'T. I CALLED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE IT CURRENTLY STILL IS. THEY HAVE YET TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IN THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO RESOLUTION YET.

SUNDAY JANUARY 28, 2018 A SECOND TOTALLY UNNECESSARY DEPLOYMENT AGAIN OCCURRED, THIS TIME AT @ 8:43 AM. I WAS AGAIN ON THE SOUTHBOUND MAJOR DEEGAN EXPRESSWAY, HAVING ENTERED SOUTH OF YONKERS AVENUE, BUT THIS TIME IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE ON A SLIGHT DOWNHILL CURVE TO THE LEFT, PAST MCLEAN AVENUE OVERPASS, SPEED 52 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, WHEN THE FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM AUTOMATICALLY DEPLOYED, FOR ABOUT 2 TO 3 SECONDS. AGAIN, THERE WAS NO CAR IMMEDIATELY IN FRONT OF ME; NO DEBRIS ON THE ROADWAY; NOTHING THAT WOULD ALERT THE SENSOR. AFTER EMAILING THE YORKTOWN NISSAN NEW CAR DEALER LAST WEEK JANUARY. 25TH AFTER THE FIRST SUCH INCIDENT, SEVERAL HOURS LATER I HAD RECEIVED NO RESPONSE. I THEN CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS DIRECTED TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THE RECEPTIONIST WOULD NOT PUT ME THROUGH TO THE SERVICE MANAGER, BUT INSTEAD ALLEGEDLY SPOKE WITH A SERVICE DEPT. PERSON, AND REPLIEDY TO ME THAT "MOST LIKELY THERE IS DIRT COVERING THE SENSOR". I INQUIRED WHERE THE SENSOR IS, AND WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE. SHE REPLIED "THE SENSOR LOOKS LIKE A LITTLE CAMERA AND IT'S EITHER IN YOUR GRILL OR IN YOUR BUMPER". I EXAMINED THE SENSOR BUT DID NOT DETECT ANY PIECE OF DIRT OR ANYTHING COVERING THE SENSOR. I'M VERY WORRIED ABOUT THIS UNEXPLAINED EMERGENCY DEPLOYMENT OF THE FORWARD BRAKING SYSTEM, AND WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR RESPONSE ON THIS MATTER, AND WHO TO CONTACT TO SEE IF OTHER NISSAN OWNERS HAVE SIMILAR EXPERIENCES, AND TRY TO IDENTIFY IF THERE IS ANY DEFECT IN THE SYSTEM. I AM EXTREMELY WORRIED ABOUT BEING REAR-ENDED BY ANOTHER CAR WHEN THE SYSTEM, FOR NO REASON, DEPLOYS THE EMERGENCY BRAKING
