Forward collision avoidance, Aug 15, 2022
This morning while driving to work I was crossing a major intersection (Northbound Chiquita Blvd / Pine Island Rd in Cape Coral FL) at 45 mph when my automatic breaking system activated and brought my car to a stop in the middle of the intersection. There was no vehicle or object in front of me and there was no abnormal weather so there was no reason for the vehicle to stop. Luckily there was nobody behind me and I was able to continue on my way to work, but this could be a major safety issue if Nissan Rogues just suddenly come to a stop for no reason.

Was notified about a recall on my vehicle the beginning of February 2022 and have been in contact with my local Nissan dealer several times. It is now August and their has been no more notification on a possible repair for a safety recall on my vehicle. called multiple times at least once per month. I'm just very worried about operating/driving the vehicle with the type of recall that is out on the vehicle and was looking for more information on what to do because of it. For reference I live in southern Louisiana and drive thru rain and my roads are prone to flooding in heavy rains so it puts my vehicle at risk because of the recall with the wiring harness and water intrusion. So this makes me very worried about potential accidents that could occur especially in hurricane season.

The front engine sub-frame bushings separated at 63,339 miles. No warning just vibration in engine compartment. This could potentially affect handling steering. The subframe has been replaced by a Nissan dealership.

When driving the vehicle on the highway, it suddenly felt like it is decelerating (slowing down ready to stall or completely stop). This all happened suddenly. It continued to move forward, but there was a large "malfunction" sign that showed up in the middle of the dash screen. It was extremely dangerous, as I was driving my 1.5 year old grandchild home from daycare. After having the vehicle connected to a auto diagnostic machine, the codes that came up were part of a known Nissan issue (Service Bulletin: NTB18-077, APPLIED TRANSMISSION: CVT (RE0F10D)).
Other or unspecified, Jul 19, 2022, crash
I left my car in park and running on the driveway. I went out to turn it off, opened the drivers side door and went to push the button to turn it off. The car started rolling down the driveway I tried to stop it as it rolled into the street. I hurt my foot/leg and the car eventually stopped when it went up on a curb and hit my neighbors landscape wall The contact has mentioned the extent to which they were injured that required the use of crutches and a walking boot. The vehicle is still in their possession.

My 2017 Nissan Rogue is accelerating and lunging on its own. My sister and her fiance were almost involved in two separate accidents due to this safety concern. My sister said as she was coming up to a stop light, the vehicle suddenly accelerated forward, causing her to have to swerve into the next lane to avoid the accident. She said the vehicle then acted like it did not have enough power to accelerate forward again once it had stopped, however, my sister stated as she was attempting to get home after this incident; the vehicle accelerated/lunged forward again resulting in her having to swerve into the parking lot of a store to avoid another accident. My sister also stated that the traction control light flashed she the vehicle's RPMs got really high while she was driving it. This light did not stay on, but the check engine light has. My sister stated that once she got the vehicle home, she placed the vehicle in park and suddenly the RPMs on the Rogue maxed out, almost like you are pushing the pedal all the way to the floor while the vehicle is in Park or Neutral. My sister stated that once the RPMs went back down, the vehicle then stalled and has not started since.

Heat shield over muffler fell of vehicle (from corrosion of bolts and nuts) exposing rear cargo area (contains spare tire and other components) to excessive heat.

My Nissan 2017 rogue has unexpectedly lost speed (from 60 mph to less than 20 mph in less than 5 sec) on the highway with no chance of recovery and little time for other drivers to avoid my Nissan Rogue. This is an extremely dangerous scenario. There is no way to correct the situation without stopping car completely and restarting the engine on the highway.

The sunroof on my 2017 Nissan Rogue exploded. I was driving down the freeway (paved), no cars in front of me for as far as I could see. Outside temperature was 100-degrees, driving roughly 60-65mph. Suddenly there was a very, very loud CRASH/POP! I was extremely startled. Thankfully I maintained control of my vehicle as my whole body tensed up. I looked around wondering what just happened (sounded like a shotgun) - as I looked in the rear view mirror I saw chunks of glass fly off the top of my vehicle, and I was now hearing wind, as if my sunroof were open, although all windows were closed & the AC was on high. I pulled over to see what happened & found shattered glass & a gaping hole - about 2 1/2 feet by 1 1/2 feet across, with obvious signs that it blew outward. The entire thing is shattered. Thankfully I had the fabric barrier closed, otherwise I would've been pelted/showered with shards of glass. As far as the list of questions... no warning lights or signs that a fail was eminent. I have not yet contacted my insurance. And I have sent an message to Nissan but am awaiting their reply.

Me vehicle keeps warning me of a forward collision when there is not the possibility of one. It has locked up the brakes at speed on an open road once before. This thing needs to be recalled this is a wide spread problem with rogues.
Other or unspecified, Jun 17, 2022
Transmission problems . It jerks , stalls when driving or having the car on for a long time .
Air bags, Jun 11, 2022
The OCS system has failed in my car. The passenger airbags are constantly turned off, even when a full sized adult is in the passenger seat, therefore putting them at risk if a crash were to occur. The yellow light indicating that the passenger airbag system is turned off is constantly on, as well as the red light on the dashboard indicating an airbag problem. These constant warning lights began May 19, 2022. I have not yet taken the vehicle in to be inspected. I have researched this issue, and it does seem to be a problem among Nissan Rogues.

Air Conditioner stops working on long drives roughly 45 minutes in. Cold air does not always come through the vents to the interior. You can hear the blower working, and the compressor working, but the air flow is very weak, even warm.

When I am at a complete stop and I press on the accelerator, the car will lurch forward very slowly. This has happened many times while driving in heavy traffic and it is very unsafe.

Air bags, Seats, May 4, 2022
Passenger airbag sensor defective and doesn't work. Driver side seat is loose. These are safety issues and I shouldn't have to pay $3k to have them fixed especially when other 2017 rogues have had recalls for same problems, just different lots. Can't afford to fix and can't buy something new.

While driving on 86th street in Indianapolis, Indiana on a trip, my 2017 Nissan Rogue abruptly and suddenly stopped with no warning whatsoever. I was driving at approximately 30 to 35 miles per hour at the time. The engine remained operating once the vehicle stopped. I pressed the gas pedal after the abrupt stop when the vehicle began to move forward.

The car even after reprogramming ICC/ ADAS radar is still having similar problems over again. The car when driving on an open road suddenly stops and stalls with a malfunction sign and a crash signal in the middle of highway. The car then does not starts and the above message prevents the RPM from increasing. It drives at idle speed with no acceleration. The car fixes back itself some times and restarts driving fine and after few miles, again in the middle of road, same incident happened when it stalled again and same malfunction message appeared. There is an open investigation by NHSTA currently about this incident as reported in majority of 2017 Nissan Rogue. It is a huge safety concern with increased risk of injury or death to self, passengers, and others. Nissan is not taking accountability for this.

As we are on our way driving to work, there was weird sounds coming out of the engine, we had no check engine lights turn on an advance to give us a warning. After those weird noises , we pressed on the gas the car would not move, that’s when the engine light came on and the car turned off, there was smoke coming out of the front it smelt like something was burning, we moved out of the car fast. We tried turning the car back on but it would not turn on.
