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.

ABOUT 2 MONTHS AFTER FIXING A RECALL ON THE AEB SYSTEM ON MY 2018 NISSAN ROGUE, MY CAR'S AEB SYSTEM ENGAGED WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE CAUSING MY VEHICLE'S ANTILOCK BRAKES TO KICK ON AND BEEP A WARNING TO SLOW DOWN BECAUSE MY CAR'S SENSOR BELIEVED SOMETHING WAS IN FRONT OF ME. THERE WAS NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME FOR MILES AND FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME TO SLAM IN TO ME. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS A FAULTY ICC SENSOR, WHICH WORKS COMPLEMENTARY WITH THE VEHICLE'S AEB SYSTEM. FORTUNATELY, IT WILL ONLY COST ME THE $100 DEDUCTIBLE ON MY EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE AT 52K MILES, I'M OVER WARRANTY, BUT NISSAN NEEDS TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND FIX REGARDLESS OF THE MILEAGE ON EACH VEHICLE.

MY ROGUE HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN 4 TIMES FOR SAFETY ISSUES. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN AND NOT GETTING ANYWHERE. ALL MY SENSOR LIGHTS CAME ON AND ABS. MY CAR BROKE ON THE FREEWAY GOING 70 MPH TO 50 MPH. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME. THAT HAPPENED IN MAY 2019. I WAS TERRIFIED TO DRIVE AND USED MY HUSBAND'S CAR. I LOOKED UP AND THEY SAID IF ABS LIGHTS YOU SHOULD NOT DRIVE AND HAVE IT TOWED BECAUSE IT COULD START A FIRE! THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND I WAS ON A SIDE STREET GOING 40 MPH AND IT BRAKED TO 30 AND THERE WASN'T ANYTHING IN FRONT OF ME. I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE THIS CAR AT ALL. I WANT THEM TO JUST TAKE IT BACK. I DRIVE AS A HOME CARE NURSE FOR A LIVING AND IT IS NOT SAFE WHEN DRIVING IS A BIG PART OF MY JOB. I HAVE BROUGHT THER CAR IN 4 TIMES! NOT SAFE!!!!

WHILE IN MOTION (APPROXIMATELY 45-50 MPH) ON A BRIDGE APPROACHING A HIGHWAY MY VEHICLE SELF-BRAKED. I DID NOT BRAKE, THE VEHICLE DID. THERE WAS NOTHING CLOSE TO ME, IN FRONT, OR BEHIND ME AT THE TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS SCREECHING FROM THE BRAKING. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE, I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY. I CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY WEREN'T PHASED, I WAS TOLD PERHAPS THE SENSOR PROBABLY SAW SOMETHING. THIS IS NOT SAFE, AND I AM VERY CONCERNED TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE.

MY NISSAN ROGUE HAS EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE 3 TIMES IN A 2 MONTH PERIOD. 1ST TIME - DRIVING, CROSSING A BUSY INTERSECTION FRONT END SHUDDERED, SHOOK HEAVILY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO LOCAL MECHANIC WHO RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND STATED THERE WERE TOO MANY CODES REGARDING THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM AND RECOMMENDED I TAKE IT TO DEALERSHIP. TOOK IT TO LOCAL DEALER, DIAGNOSTICS WERE RUN AGAIN, AND THEY REPORTED THEY WERE NOT SURE OF THE ISSUE, SUSPECTED DAMAGE TO THE MAF SENSOR (WHICH WAS THEN THROWING OFF THE REPORT OF ALL OTHER SENSORS). THEY REPLACED IT WITH NISSAN MANUFACTURED PART AND ELECTRIC TAPE AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS GOOD TO GO. 2ND TIME - STATIONARY MAKING A LEFT ONTO BUSY MAIN STREET, CAR SHUDDERED, STALLED, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMPLETELY STOPPED. UNABLE TO DRIVE IT, WHEN CHANGING GEARS IT JUST COASTED BACKWARDS (DUE TO THE HILL I WAS ON). HAD IT TOWED TO THE SAME DEALER, TOLD THE SAME THING AS PREVIOUS VISIT 'NOT SURE WHAT'S WRONG, PROBABLY THE SENSOR,' WAS TOLD THEY REPLACED IT AGAIN WITH NISSAN MANUFACTURED PART AND 'TAPED UP REAL GOOD THIS TIME.' HOWEVER COULD NOT GUARANTEE IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN, ALSO STILL NO IDEA WHAT EXACTLY CAUSED THE STALLING. 3RD TIME- DRIVING STRAIGHT AFTER BEING STOPPED AT RES LIGHT, CAR STALLS, ENGINE LIGHT BACK ON, AND UNABLE TO DRIVE IT. THE CAR COASTED TO THE NEAREST SHOULDER AND NOW WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE ME TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP, WHOM HOPEFULLY CAN FIX THE PROBLEM THAT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN.

TAKATA RECALL 2 OCCASIONS VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, ONCE 35+ MPH AND 40MPH. CAR LITERALLY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH MOVING TRAFFIC. DEALERSHIP CLAIMED IT WAS THE SENSOR THE FIRST TIME & SWITCHED IT. HAPPENED SECOND TIME TODAY & ALMOST CAUSED MULTIPLE FATAL WRECKS. BOTH TIMES ON BUSY ROADS & THIS TIME EXITING A BRIDGE INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC AND MULTIPLE LANES. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. FIST COUPLE MONTHS HAD SENT VIDEO AND REPORTED ON 3 OCCASIONS WHERE THE RADIO SCREEN WAS ALSO DEFECTIVE AND THEY REPLACED IT. ON BOTH OCCASIONS THIS HAS BEEN TRAUMATIZING AND JUST LOOKING AT THE COMPUTER IS NOT ENOUGH! I PUT DOWN $8K AND TRADED IN A VEHICLE TO BUY MY FIRST NEW CAR, ONLY FOR IT TO BECOME A DEATH TRAP!

WHILE MOVING AT BOTH HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR SPEEDS BETWEEN 20 -40 MPH, THE EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM WOULD ENGAGE WITHOUT WARNING AND WITHOUT AN OBJECT IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS WOULD CAUSE THE BRAKES TO ENGAGE, THE VEHICLE TO SHUDDER UNTIL I COULD RE-TAKE CONTROL, AND AN ERROR ALERT ON THE DASH BOARD. THE DEALER'S RECOMMENDATION WAS TO TURN OFF THE RADAR ASSISTED EMERGENCY BRAKING EVERY TIME I GOT INTO THE VEHICLE, AS IT WAS A "FLAWED TECHNOLOGY". AFTER MULTIPLE EVENTS AND TRIPS TO THE DEALER, THEY REPLACED THE PART AND UPDATED THE SOFTWARE.

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.

WHILE DRIVING ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BREAK OPTION THAT IS ON WAS ACTIVATED ON ITS OWN BRINGING MY CAR TO A STOP WITHOUT AN EMERGENCY STOP IN FRONT OF ME.

THE CAR'S AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM BRAKES SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING AND RANDOMLY. IT DOES SO WITHOUT ANY OBSTACLES OR OBSTRUCTIONS VISIBLE, OR WHEN VEHICLES ARE IN THE VECINITY WHILE DRIVING. THIS PROPOSED SAFETY FEATURE IN ACTUALLITY HAS MADE THESE EXPERIENCES FEEL IT AS UNSAFE. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR A YEAR AND A HALF. TO REMEDY THE SITUATION I HAVE TURNED OFF THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING FEATURE OFF, SINCE IT DOES NOT WORK. AND ON THE CONTRARY IT ACTUALLY MAKES THE SUV FEEL MORE UNSAFE.
Other or unspecified, Jun 14, 2019
THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGED FOR NO REASON WHILE TRAVELING FORWARD AT 30MPH. THIS HAPPENED ON A CITY STREET WITH A SLIGHT DECLINE AND NO CARS AROUND THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS A SHARP DECELERATION ACCOMPANIED BY A GRINDING SOUND. THIS LASTED A BRIEF SECOND OR TWO, THEN THE VEHICLE RESUMED FORWARD MOTION. THE VEHICLE DID NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED (THE FIRST WEEK WE HAD THE VEHICLE) THE DEALER REPLACED THE DISTANCE SENSOR. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS STILL A PROBLEM.
Other or unspecified, Service brakes, May 27, 2019
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET ONE DAY NO ONE AROUND ME, NO OBJECT, WAS NOT ON AUTO CONTROL, AND MY CAR AUTOMATICALLY BRAKES ON ITS OWN WHILE DRIVING. HAD IT DONE THAT WHILE IT WAS A BUSY ROAD IT WOULD OF CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.
Other or unspecified, Service brakes, May 25, 2019
THE CAR BRAKES UNEXPECTEDLY AND SKID. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE AND THERE WERE NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME . THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THE CAR TO BRAKE AND STOP ON ITS OWN. THIS HAPPENED AS I WAS EXITING THE HIGHWAY AND WAS MAKE A TURN ON A CITY STREET.
