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.

MY CAR IS NISSAN ROGUE 2017.5. I AM FACING AN ISSUE RELATED TO AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BREAK MALFUNCTION. THE EMERGENCY BREAK WAS APPLIED WITHOUT ANY REASON WHILE I WAS GOING IN PARKING GARAGE, PASSING UNDER BRIDGES, AND CROSSING RAILROAD. SOMETIMES THE FORWARD EMERGENCY BREAK WARNING LIGHT WAS BLINKING WITHOUT ANY REASON EVEN WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED. I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRES ON THIS ISSUE. I WAS TOLD TO GO TO THE DEALER. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR 5 TIMES. THEY DID SENSOR CHANGE TWO TIMES. FIRST TIME THEY DID FRONT SENSOR CHANGE. SECOND TIME THEY DID STEERING SENSOR CHANGE. OTHER TIMES THEY TESTED AND TOLD THERE IS NO ISSUE AS THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. THIS ISSUE IS NOT BEING HAPPENED FREQUENTLY. LAST NIGHT I FACED THE SAME ISSUE. I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO PROCEED FURTHER.

THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM ON MY 2017 ROGUE ENGAGED YESTERDAY DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING AT ROUGHLY 60 MPH. WHAT A HORRIFICALLY TERRIFYING EVENT. I WAS TRAVELING WITHIN A SINGLE LANE ON A 3 LANE HIGHWAY WHEN OUT OF THE BLUE THE BRAKES LOCKED UP. THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED AND THE CAR WENT FROM 60 MPH TO ABOUT 15-20 MPH IN A MATTER OF A COUPLE HUNDRED FEET. IT FELT AS THOUGH SEVERAL TIRES HAD BLOWN OUT AT ONCE OR THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAD COMPLETELY LOCKED UP. I REMEMBER HEARING AN AUDIBLE CHIME AND SEEING SOMETHING ON THE CONSOLE PANEL FLASHING WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE RED WARNING LIGHT WHILE I WAS FIGHTING TO RETAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. WITHIN A PERIOD OF ABOUT 3-5 SECONDS THE WHOLE EVENT WAS OVER AND THE VEHICLE HAD ABRUPTLY SLOWED ITSELF TO THE AFOREMENTIONED SPEED. FORTUNATELY AT THE TIME THE TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT AND THERE WAS NOT ANOTHER VEHICLE DIRECTLY BEHIND ME OR THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS EVENT WOULD HAVE ENDED TRAGICALLY. THE IMPORTANT THING TO NOTE IS THAT THIS WAS RELATIVELY OPEN ROAD AT THE TIME AND THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES OR OBSTRUCTIONS IN FRONT OR TO THE SIDES OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PROMPTLY TURNED OVER TO NISSAN FOR A FULL REVIEW AND REPAIR OF THE FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM.

SEAT BELT WON'T BUCKLE (PASSENGER SIDE) AND THE REAR SENSOR IS NOT WORKING. IT HAS BEEN REPLACED FOR A BRAND NEW ONE BECAUSE WE REPORTED THE THE WARNING LIGHT/SIGN KEPT SHOWING. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED IT. BUT THE WARNING LIGHT CAME UP AGAIN WHEN WE GOT HOME UNTIL NOW. AFTER DRIVING FOR A FEW MINUTES, THE WARNING LIGHT/SIGN FOR THE SENSOR WOULD SHOW.

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR IN AREAS WITH UNEVEN STREETS OR STREET REPAIRS PLANCKS ON GROUND EITHER AUTIMATIC BREAKS WOULD ACTIVATE OR CAR WOULDN'T SLOW DOWN WHEN BREAKS WERE HIT. WHILE DRIVING ON AN UNEVENLY PAVED ROAD AT ABOUT 30M/P/H THE BREAKS WERE PRESSED & CAR DID NOT SLOW DOWN UNTIL IT COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE.

Electrical system, Other or unspecified, Nov 17, 2019
VEHICLE HAS TWO ISSUES, SEEMS TO BE TEMPERATURE RELATED. WHEN THE TEMPERATURE DROPS BELOW 35 DEGREES, THE YELLOW LIGHT INDICATING THAT IMMEDIATE BRAKING IS REQUIRED, IS ENGAGED AND BLINKING WHEN VEHICLE IS TURNED ON.(WHILE PARKED OR DRIVING) LIGHT STAYS ON, WHILE DRIVING, EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE NO OBSTRUCTIONS IN THE ROAD OR VEHICLES' CAMERAS.IT GOES OFF, AFTER DRIVING FOR APPROX 5-10 MINUTES. WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS ABOVE FREEZING (WARMER MONTHS) A HARD BRAKE WILL CAUSE THE CENTER CONSOLE DISPLAY AND THE FUNCTIONALITY OF HANDS-FREE CELL USE, TO TURN OFF. AFTER A FEW SECONDS, THE DISPLAY RESETS AND TURNS ON (REBOOTS) ON IT'S OWN. IF SPEAKING TO SOMEONE VIA HANDS FREE, WHEN TURNOFF OCCURS, IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY RECONNECT CALL, AFTER REBOOT. (IF CALLER STAYS ON THE LINE) THE VEHICLE'S DASHBOARD HAS DISPLAYED ALL WARNING LIGHTS AND SOUNDED ALL AUDIBLE ALARMS, SEVERAL TIMES, WHILE DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS (BOTH STREET AND HIGHWAY DRIVING). WHILE THESE SITUATIONS ARE UNNERVING AND ANNOYING, THEY DID NOT SEEM TO AFFECT THE ACTUAL HANDLING OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE REMAINS UNDER POWER AND IN GEAR. CONCERNED THAT ONE OF THESE EVENTS MAY ACTUALLY TRIGGER THE BRAKE OR CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO TURN OFF, WHILE UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. OR, NOT WORK, WHEN THEY ARE ACTUALLY REQUIRED..VEHICLE HAS BEEN BACK TO DEALER, FOR THESE SPECIFIC ISSUES, SEVERAL TIMES. AFTER REPLACING CONSOLE AND DOING COMPUTER UPDATES, VEHICLE IS RELEASED AS "FIXED". VEHICLE IS STILL EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE CAR WAS RECEIVED (NEW FROM THE NISSAN DEALER) UP TO THE PRESENT TIME.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2017 NISSAN ROGUE THIS WEEK, FOR NO APPARENT REASON, THE BRAKE ASSIST FEATURE ENGAGED. I WAS DRIVING BETWEEN 30-40 MPH, NOTHING IN MY PATH, WHEN SUDDENLY THE BRAKES ENGAGED, CAUSING WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A GRINDING SOUND AND MY VEHICLE NEARLY COMING TO A STOP WITH RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE SINCE I'VE OWNED THE CAR, WITH THE PREVIOUS TIME BEING APPROXIMATELY A MONTH OR TWO AGO. I WILL BE TAKING MY VEHICLE IN TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO INSPECT, AND HOPEFULLY THIS IS TAKEN SERIOUSLY, AND PROMPTLY CORRECTED, AS THIS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

MY 2017.5 NISSAN ROGUE SV AEB WENT OFF WITH NO WARNING OR ANY THREAT OF A AUTOMOBILE OR PERSON IN THE WAY. WE WERE ON A HIGHWAY GOING 50 MPH STRAIGHT. I HAD TO SERVE SO CARS BEHIND ME WOULDN'T HIT MY CAR.

MY DAUGHTER LEASED A 2017 NISSAN ROGUE SV AWD AND ON A LEAST 2 OCCASIONS (11/17 & 2/19) THE AEB (AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING) SYSTEM SUDDENLY ACTIVATED ON ITS OWN FOR NO APPARENT REASON AS THERE WAS NO VEHICLE OR OTHER OBSTRUCTION IN FRONT. THIS HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BUT THANK GOD NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED. WE HAVE LOST ALL CONFIDENCE IN THE VEHICLE AND LOOK FORWARD TO TURNING IT IN. ATTEMPTS TO RETURN THE VEHICLE EARLY (9 MONTHS REMAINING ON LEASE) TO NISSAN WERE MET WITH CONSTANT COMMENTS TO RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. NISSAN GAVE NO VALUE AND EXPRESSED NO COMPASSION WHEN INFORMED OF THE TRAUMA THE SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED STOPS CAUSED US. JUST THINK ABOUT IT TOTAL LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL ON THE HIGHWAY.

A/C DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. WITH A/C ON AND IN AN MODE THE AIR BEING BLOWN THROUGH THE VENTS REDUCES OVER TIME UNTIL THERE IS A COMPLETE ABSENCE OF COOL AIR. I MUST TURN THE A/C OFF FOR MORE THAN 20 MINUTES TO HAVE IT WORK NORMALLY AGAIN, BUT IT DOES THAT SAME AFTER AN EVEN SHORTER AMOUNT OF TIME. THIS HAPPENS CONSTANTLY SINCE THE ORIGINAL DATE I FOUND THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PROPERLY SERVICED AT SCHEDULED TIMES AND HAS 25K MILES.
