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.

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Nissan Altima, Armada, Frontier, Kicks, Leaf, Maxima, Murano, NV, NV200, Pathfinder, Rogue, Rogue Sport, Sentra, Titan, Titan Diesel, Versa Note and Versa Sedan vehicles, as well as Infiniti Q50, Q60, QX30 and QX80 vehicles. Additionally included are 2019 Nissan GT-R and Taxi and Infiniti QX50, QX60, Q70, Q70L vehicles. The back-up camera and display settings can be adjusted such that the rear view image is no longer visible and the system will retain that setting the next time the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."
The lack of an image in the back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash.
Nissan will notify owners in phases, having dealers update the back-up camera settings software, free of charge. The recall began November 11, 2019 and all affected VINs should be activated. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 or INFINITI customer service at 1-800-662-6200.

I AM DRIVING FORWARD AT 55 MPH ON A MAIN ROAD IN THE CITY. THERE WERE ABSOLUTELY NO CARS IN FRONT, ON SIDES, OR BEHIND ME. THEN WARNING FLASHES ON DASH QUICKLY AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER WARNING DISPLAY MY CAR SLAMMED TO A STOP. I WAS SLAMMED FORWARD INTO THE STEERING WHEEL. IT WAS THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM THAT IS MALFUNCTIONING APPARENTLY.
Service brakes, Oct 8, 2020
THE BREAKING SYSTEM ON MY 2018 NISSAN ROGUE DRIVING 50MPH SLAMMED ON THE BREAKS AND CAUSED MY CAR TO STOP WITHOUT WARNING, A RED LIGHT CAME ON AND I WAS WHIPPED FORWARD. THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME AND 2 CARS BEHIND THAT WOULD HAVE HIT ME AS I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF SIDE OF ROAD. THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A FATAL ACCIDENT. WE HAVE CONTACTED OUR NISSAN DEALER WHO SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS,

I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, CAME UP TO AN INTERSECTION TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR PUT ON THE BRAKES AND JOLTED ME AND MY PASSENGER FORWARD. THERE WAS NO CAR IN FRONT OF ME OR BEHIND ME AT THIS TIME. I SEEN THE WARNING COME FOR NO REASON. I AM A LITTLE NERVOUS ABOUT DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT THIS POINT.

I WAS JUST LEAVING MY JOB, AND DRIVING DOWN A LOCAL, DOUBLE YELLOW-LINED ROAD, DOING ABOUT 35-40 MPH, WHEN MY 2018 NISSAN ROGUE'S AUTOMATIC BREAKING SYSTEM SUDDENLY, AND AGGRESSIVELY ENGAGED, CAUSING THE ENTIRE VEHICLE TO SHUDDER, AND MAKE A HORRIBLE NOISE, ALONG WITH FLASHING ORANGE, TRIANGLE WARNING LIGHT. THE TERRIFYING PART ABOUT IT, WAS THAT THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME, AND THANKFULLY NO ONE BEHIND ME. I PULLED OVER, AND HAD A SMALL NERVOUS BREAKDOWN. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE! I DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED, HAD I BEEN ON THE EXPRESSWAY OR HAD MY DAUGHTER IN THE CAR, AND THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT! NISSAN SHOULD ABSOLUTELY RECALL THE CARS AFFECTED BY THIS! NOT JUST ISSUE BULLETINS TO DEALERSHIP'S. UNACCEPTABLE. I'M CALLING THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW, TO FIND OUT WHAT CAN BE DONE. NOW, I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR.

THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM CONSTANTLY ACTIVATES WHILE DRIVING. I AM WORRIED I WILL GET IN A WRECK. I HAVE HAD NISSAN LOOK AT IT AND HAVE HAD THE UPDATE DONE AND I STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE REGION REPRESENTATIVE AND NISSAN WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND I AM TOLD I CAN TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. IT HAS HAPPENED HUNDREDS OF TIMES SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED IT.

I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLES AUTOMATIC BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEM. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON AN AVENUE, THE CAR JUST STOPPED COMPLETELY WITH NO OTHER TRAFFIC IN THE AREA. NO ONE IN FRONT OR BEHIND. THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND I AND MY PASSENGER WHERE THROWN FORWARD WITH THE SEAT BELTS TIGHTENING AROUND US. THE CAR HAS ALSO SLOWED DOWN ON MAJOR STREETS AND HIGHWAYS.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET ON 09/03/2020 MY CAR DECIDED TO STOP AUTOMATICALLY BY ITSELF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THE BREAKS LOCKED UP AND THE STEERING AS WELL, I WAS THROWN FORWARD ALMOST HITTING MY HEAD OFF THE STEERING WHEEL, I DIDN'T BECAUSE I HAD MY SEATBELT ON, THANK GOODNESS. IF THERE WAS ANOTHER VEHICLE BEHIND ME I WOULD HAVE MOST LIKELY DIED. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. I CALLED THE DEALER WHERE I HAD PURCHASED IT FROM, PERFORMANCE KIA IN MOOSIC, PA AND THEY CAN NOT GET ME IN FOR A WHOLE WEEK WHICH IS ALSO UNACCEPTABLE BECAUSE I HAVE TO DRIVE IT IN ORDER TO GET MY CHILDREN AROUND AND MYSELF TO WORK, THIS IS SCARY AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. I NOTICED PLENTY OF OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AS WELL!

OUR 2018 NISSAN ROGUE AEB SYSTEM IS FALSE BRAKING WHEN IT SHOULDN'T. THE AEB FALSE BRAKING HAS ALMOST CAUSED MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS IF WE DIDN'T OVER POWER THE BRAKE SYSTEM OR TURN IT OFF QUICKLY. ALSO THE AEB SYSTEM TURNS ITSELF OFF WHILE THE CAR IS ON CRUISE CONTROL AT FREEWAY SPEEDS IN RAIN, BRIGHT SUNLIGHT, OR BUMPY ROAD CONDITIONS. THIS ALSO HAS ALMOST CAUSED OUR CAR TO BE REAR ENDED BY ITS ABRUPT SLOWING DOWN. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE ONE YEAR WE HAVE OWNED THIS CAR. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON THE SUNKEN MEADOWS PARKWAY WITH MY NEPHEW IN THE BACK SEAT. THERE WAS NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME OR OTHER OBJECTS. OUR OF NOWHERE, THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM IN THE CAR WENT OFF WITH WARNING LIGHTS AND THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. MULTIPLE CARS BEHIND ME SWERVED OUT OF THE WAY ALMOST CAUSING A MULTI- CAR ACCIDENT. THIS INSTANCE HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE. AFTER EACH INCIDENT, I WENT TO NISSAN 112 AND BROUGHT MY CAR INTO SERVICE. THEY SIMPLY FIXED THE SENSOR OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM UNDER THE RECALL. THIS HAS NOT BEEN A SOLUTION. THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM CONTINUES TO GO OFF IN SITUATIONS WHERE IT SHOULD NOT WHICH CAUSES A HAZARD FOR MYSELF AND OTHER PEOPLE IN MY VEHICLE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40MPH ON A CITY STREET STRAIGHT THROUGH AN INTERSECTION IN WHICH I HAD A GREEN LIGHT WHEN MY NISSAN ROGUE ALERTED ME MY AEB WAS ACTIVATING EVEN THOUGH THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS AROUND ME. MY CAR SUDDENLY SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES, FORCING IT TO MAKE A GRINDING SOUND, AND CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THAT WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP A FEW DAYS AFTER THE INCIDENT TO FLASH THE ECU (WHAT I FOUND ONLINE AS THE SOLUTION PER NISSAN), THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE UNLESS THE ROGUE WAS CURRENTLY MALFUNCTIONING DESPITE NISSAN ISSUING A STATEMENT SAYING THEY HAD INFORMED ALL THEIR DEALERSHIPS OF THE ISSUE AND SOLUTION. I FOUND THIS EXTREMELY UNSAFE THAT THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT WELL-INFORMED ON THIS SAFETY ISSUE. FORTUNATELY, I CONTACTED ANOTHER NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHO WAS INFORMED OF THE ISSUE AND WILL FLASH THE ECU.

CAR ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN WHILE PARKING. JUMPED OVER THE STOP AND CRASHED INTO A BUILDING. AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM DID NOT STOP THE CAR AND AIR BAGS DID NOT ENGAGE. THIS CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED FOR BRAKING FOR NO REASON AND A NEW TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN INSTALLED AND NOW THIS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A LEMON. LOVE THE CAR BUT TO MANY PROBLEMS. NO MY CAR INSURANCE PREMIUMS WILL RISE OR BE CANCELLED.
