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.

THE CAR STOPS WHILE ACCELERATING EVEN THOUGH NO CAR IN FRONT OR BACK. THERE WAS A BEEPING SOUND. IT ALREADY HAPPENED TWICE.
Service brakes, Aug 6, 2019
WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED WITHOUT ME BRAKING. IT JUST AUTOMATICALLY STOPPED. A WARNING SYMBOL FLASHED QUICKLY ON MY DASH THEN THE CA CAME TO A SUDDEN HALT. THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, ALTHOUGH I WAS ONLY GOING. 20 MPH.
Service brakes, Aug 5, 2019
WHILE DRIVING YESTERDAY, MY VEHICLE CAME TO A SCREECHING STOP WITH ANY WARNING. THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD NEAR ME, NO DEBRIS, NOTHING WHICH SHOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS. I WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY GET TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE AND BREATHE WHILE TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT JUST HAPPENED. MY 2 CHILDREN AND I SAT THERE STUNNED AND SCARED. THANKFULLY BECAUSE NO OTHER CARS WERE AROUND WE AVOIDED A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT CAUSED THE SUDDEN STOP. I PULLED OUT MY CAR MANUAL AND DISCOVERED IT WAS A "SAFETY FEATURE" AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BREAKING. I DONT THINK IT'S A SAFETY FEATURE IF IT ALMOST CAUSES AN ACCIDENT.
Service brakes, Aug 1, 2019
WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE AUTOMATIC BRAKE SENSOR CAME ON AND ALL WHEELS LOCKED UP ALMOST CAUSING SOMEONE TO REAREND ME NOW I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR HAS HAPPENS TO MY HUSBAND WHILE DRIVING ALSO NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND SAYS THEY CAN'T FIX IT. THERE IS NO RECALL. THERE IS A BULLETIN TELLING THE MECHANIC TO REBOOT THE SENSOR. SO IT CAN HAPPEN AGAIN WITHOUT NO WARNINGS!! I WAS ON A CITY STREET. NOT ONLY ARE MY CHILDREN AND I IN DANGER!! IT'S ALL THE PEOPLE THAT ARE DRIVING!!
Service brakes, Aug 1, 2019
WHEN DRIVING THE CAR THE AEB SYSTEM WILL SUDDENLY ENGAGE AND FORCE THE CAR TO BRAKE. IT HAPPENS MOSTLY IN PARKING GARAGES BUT JUST HAPPENED WHEN MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY INTERSTATE (I-684) AND SHE ALMOST GO INTO A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO NISSAN FOR THE SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT WAS SUGGESTED BY NISSAN. HOWEVER THE ISSUE IS STILL OCCURRING. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

THIS IS THE SECOND COMPLAINT ON THIS PROBLEM BUT THE FIRST AFTER THE CAR WAS WORKED ON AT THE DEALER. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 50-55 MINUTES OF CONTINUOUS OPERATION THE EMERGENCY BRAKES ACTIVATED AS PART OF THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE FEATURE. THERE WAS NO DANGER OF IMPACT AND SPEED WAS ABOUT 20-30MPH ON A CITY STREET. THE BRAKING WAS NOT HARD BUT MORE LIKE ABS ENGAGEMENT OR CROSSING A "CATTLE GUARD". IT LASTED FOR LESS THAN 5 SECONDS. NO DETAILING WARNING WAS GIVEN AND THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE ICON DID NOT LIGHT. ONLY ONE OCCURRENCE DURING THIS DRIVE OF APPROXIMATELY 75 MINUTES. UPON THE RETURN TRIP, AGAIN AFTER APPROXIMATELY 50-55 MINUTES OF CONTINUOUS DRIVING THE SAME BRAKING OCCURRED ONLY THIS TIME AT HIGHWAY SPEED 60-65 MPH. IT DID NOT REOCCUR FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE TRIP, APPROXIMATE TOTAL TRIP TIME OF 75-80 MINUTES. WILL BE RETURNING THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR ANOTHER EVALUATION BUT UNSURE IF IN THE FUTURE THIS VEHICLE MIGHT SUDDENLY STOP, ACTIVATING AIR BAGS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM ACTIVATED WITHOUT CAUSE RESULTING IN VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPING ON ROADWAY.
Service brakes, Jul 31, 2019
FOUR TIMES OUR 2018 NISSAN ROGUE HAS ACTIVATED THE EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM, WHEN SLOWING DOWN. AT ONE TIME ,WITH MY WIFE DRIVING THE ENGINE DIED ON A RAILROAD TRACKS. ENGINE RESTARTED BUT WAS SCARY. TAKEN TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP, TWICE, THEY REPLACED A SENSOR, STILL DID THE SAME PROBLEM TWO TIMES AFTER THAT. DEALER CANNOT FIND THE CAUSE. WE BOUGHT THE CAR FOR DEPENDABLE TRANSPORTATION, NOW WITH CAR SALESMEN KNOWING THIS PROBLEM, RESELLING THIS CAR IS A LOST CAUSE. NISSAN NEEDS TO BUY BACK THIS CAR.
Service brakes, Jul 30, 2019
THE VEHICLE FRONT EMERGENCY BRAKING ACTIVATES WHEN NOT REQUIRED CREATING A CLEAR AND EMINENT DANGER TO THE DRIVER, PASSENGER AND ANY VEHICLES IN THE VICINITY. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP UPDATED THE SOFTWARE ON 7/25/2019 BUT IT IS STILL OCCURING AS OF 7/29/2019. THIS EVEN OCCURS AT HIGHWAY SPEED, WITH NO OBSTRUCTIONS AND CLEAR VISIBILITY.

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS (7/5/2019 & 7/15/2019) THE CAR ENGAGED ITS AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM (ALERTED AND BRAKED TO A STOP SUDDENLY) WHILE IN MOTION FOR NO APPARENT REASON. BOTH EVENTS HAPPENED IN THE SAME LOCATION (ON A HIGHWAY UNDER AN OVERPASS BRIDGE) WITH NO CARS OR OTHER OBSTRUCTIONS IN THE PATH OF THE VEHICLE.
Service brakes, Jul 28, 2019
CAR BRAKED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THERE WAS NO CAR IN FRONT OR BACK OF ME AND MY VEHICLE JUST SUDDENLY BRAKED. HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY IN BROOKLYN, NY ON THE BROOKLYN QUEENS EXPRESSWAY. DATE OF OCCURANCE IS JULY 4TH 2019.
Service brakes, Jul 26, 2019
AS I WAS DRIVING BACK TO HOME IN ORANGE COUNTY, CA, ON 6/27/2019 AT AROUND 8 P.M., I OPENED THE GARAGE DOOR A COUPLE OF GARAGE-DOORS DOWN AND AS I WAS SLOWING THE CAR DOWN TO TURN AND ENTER THE GARAGE, THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK, AND THE CAR SPED UP INSTEAD. I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT TO BRAKE THE SPEED OF THE CAR AND TO AVOID A HEAD-ON COLLISION WITH THE GARAGE'S FRONT WALL. THE AIR BAGS GOT DEPLOYED AND I GOT BADLY BRUISED. MY RIGHT FOOT'S RIGHT ANKLE ALSO HIT A METAL ON THE RIGHT (MOST PROBABLY GAS PEDAL AS IT WAS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY FOOT) AS I TURNED THE CAR TO THE RIGHT. AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING (AEB) IS STANDARD ON ROGUE/ROGUE SPORT MODEL YEAR 2018, AMONG OTHER NISSAN MODELS. HOWEVER, NOT ONLY THE BRAKES OF THE VEHICLE FAILED ON ME BUT ALSO AEB SYSTEM DID NOT KICK IN TO AVOID THE COLLISION. IT WAS ENTERPRISE RENTAL CAR. THEY NEXT MORNING IT WAS TOWED TO THEIR LOCATION IN LAKE FOREST, OC. THEY ARE WORKING WITH ME TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS MATTER. MY HOPE IS THEY WILL TAKE THE RIGHT AND CONSCIENTIOUS APPROACH TO THE MATTER TO AVOID MORE SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND GRAVER CONSEQUENCES IN THE FUTURE. I WILL UPDATE AS I WILL HAVE MORE INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO SHARE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WOULD BRAKE AND SLOW DOWN WITHOUT THE BRAKE PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE ALSO MADE A NOISE AS IF IT WERE DRIVING OVER SPEED BUMPS. NISSAN SOUTH (6889 JONESBORO RD, MORROW, GA 30260, (678) 619-3104) STATED THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS BEING APPLIED BECAUSE THE BRAKING SYSTEM SIGNALED THE WIRING OR SIGNS FROM A PARTICULAR SECTION OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO SHUT OFF THE SYSTEM WHEN APPROACHING THAT PORTION OF THE ROAD AND THEN TURN IT ON AGAIN AFTERWARDS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE ONLY OCCURRED ALONG THAT PORTION OF THE ROAD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE DEALER OFFERED NO OTHER SUGGESTIONS FOR THE REPAIR AND DID NOT DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

MY 2018 NISSAN ROGUE ACTIVATES THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING ( AEB) ON IT'S OWN. IT HAS OCCURRED FIVE OR SIX TIMES, TWICE WHILE CROSSING RR TRACKS. ONE OF THESE INSTANCES HAPPENED WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH AND THE DODGE TRUCK BEHIND US VERY NEAR REAR ENDED US. THE OTHER AEB ACTIVATIONS WERE ON LEVEL ROAD AT NORMAL DRIVING SPEEDS. THE BRAKES JUST ACTIVATE AND BRING THE VEHICLE TO A NEAR STOP. HOPEFULLY THIS CAN BE RESOLVED.
Service brakes, Jul 20, 2019
I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH WHEN MY VEHICLE'S AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGED. THERE WAS NO APPARENT OBSTRUCTION WHICH WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE AEB SYSTEM TO ENGAGE. I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR EXACTLY 1 WEEK AND THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. BOTH TIMES, THE SYSTEM ENGAGED FOR APPROX 2-3 SECONDS AND THEN MY CAR RETURNED TO NORMAL DRIVING. WHILE IT DID NOT BRING ME TO A FULL STOP, IT DID SLOW ME DOWN AND CREATED FEAR, DISTRACTION AND A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE ALL WHILE ACTIVELY DRIVING WITH MY TODDLER IN THE VEHICLE.

DISTANCE SENSOR MALFUNCTIONING. I HAVE HAD TO RETURN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE. WITHOUT WARNING THE CAR WILL SLAM ON THE BRAKES AS IF SOMETHING WAS IN ITS PATH.

I WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 35-40 MPH ON A CITY STREET WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED, AND THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE AROUND THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL.
Service brakes, Jul 17, 2019
VEHICLE IS AUTOMATICALLY BRAKING EVEN WHEN THERE ARE NO OTHER VEHICLES OR OBSTACLES NEAR BY. TWO TIMES SINCE BUYING MY NISSAN IN APRIL MY CAR HAS BRAKED TO A HARD STOP WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT SPEED OF 35MPH OR MORE (ONCE ON CITY ROADS AND ONCE ON HIGHWAY) FOR NO REASON. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT HAD OTHER CARS BEEN BEHIND ME. I HAD EVEN DISABLED THE AUTO BRAKING FEATURE AFTER THE FIRST TIME HOPING TO AVOID THE ISSUE REOCCURRING. UNFORTUNATELY THAT DID NOT WORK .
Other or unspecified, Service brakes, Jul 14, 2019
SPARATIC FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKING LIGHT ON WHILE DRIVING AND NO OTHER VEHICLES AROUND. ALSO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT : STATING OXYGEN SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW. IT IS UNDER WARRANTY AND DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE AND CORRECTLY FIX.
Service brakes, Jul 14, 2019
THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGED ON JULY 6 2108. THERE WAS NOT AN OBSTRUCTION IN THE ROAD ON THIS CITY STREET. WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD, THE CAR MADE A NOISE, THE DASHBOARD FLASHED, THE CAR SHUDDERED AND CAME TO A VERY QUICK, ALMOST IMMEDIATE STOP. THE VEHICLE RESUMED WORKING AS NORMAL WHEN I APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL AFTER THE STOP. THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD AT THE TIME. THE ROAD HAD SOME LARGE PATCHES ON THE ASPHALT. THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING ~25 MPH WHEN THIS OCCURRED.
Service brakes, Jul 14, 2019
I EXPERIENCED UNWARRANTED BRAKE ASSIST WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THERE WERE NO VEHICLES AROUND ME AND IT WAS QUITE FRANKLY VERY DISTURBING. THIS ISSUE HAS NOT HAPPENED A SINGLE TIME DURING OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLW
Service brakes, Jul 12, 2019
FOR SOME TIME, VEHICLE HAS BEEN DISPLAYING WARNING LIGHTS, BEEPING, AND BRAKING WHEN NO OBSTACLES, WHILE IN MOTION, ARE AROUND BECAUSE OF THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP A MONTH AGO TO HAVE THE UPDATE PERFORMED BASED ON INFORMATION RECEIVED IN THE MAIL. ONE MONTH LATER, AFTER THE UPDATE WAS PERFORMED, VEHICLE CONTINUES TO BEEP, FLASH WARNING, AND BRAKE WHILE I AM PRESSING THE GAS AND IN MOTION ON THE ROAD GOING 45 MPH, CAUSING A SCRAPING SOUND AND THEN GOING OFF. PROBLEM WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED AFTER UPDATE PERFORMED ON 6/8/19, BUT IS STILL OCCURRING.
Other or unspecified, Service brakes, Jul 12, 2019
FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKING LIGHT SPORADICALLY COMING ON WHILE DRIVING. CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND HAS NOT BEEN PROPERLY DIAGNOSED OR PROPERLY REPAIRED. CAR HAS ALSO THROWN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAUSING THE OXYGEN SENSOR TO BE REPLACED. LOST TRUST IN RELIABILITY, SECURITY AND DEPENDABILITY OF MY NEW VEHICLE. NISSAN DOES NOT APPEAR TO COMPETENT ENOUGH TO FIX MY SUV.
