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.

Power train, Feb 8, 2024
The rear differential (carrier assembly) basically exploded through the housing. This happened at a very low speed but not sure what would have happened if it were at highway speeds.
Visibility/wiper, Jan 29, 2024
The heating/cooling do not operate correctly on the driver side or rear passenger vents. Proper temperature comes from the passenger side vents. Local mechanic attempted swapping the blend door actuator and then it failed again. My mechanic then said that I would need to replace the entire Heater / AC Unit Assembly. After searching online, there are multiple forums dedicated to this same issue, specifically for VINs that start with KN. This is a safety issue because the defroster does not work on the driver side, it blows whatever the ambient air temperature is, so in the winter when the windows fog up the drivers view is impaired. There are no warning lamps message or other symptoms.

While driving my car suddenly used it brakes and stop suddenly. I was driving and this is very dangerous. We need a recall on this problem. I'm afraid to drive this car.

My daughter accidentally turned the car off while driving on the highway today due to the defective key. Luckily she was able to pull over safely and no harm was done. I came here to report the issue and saw the recall already in effect. Thank you for all you do. You can add this to your list of incidents if you wish. We now know to bring the key in for a fix.

Several random unwanted deployments of forward emergency braking system with no danger of other vehicles or pedestrians near by. All deployments have happened below 30 mph both in city driving and rural settings.
Steering, Nov 19, 2023
THE ROGUE 2019 SV has only 26785 miles the steering is making a winy grinding sound when you turn the steering wheel no matter what direction or rotation the sound is there. It seems a bit stiff especially in morning and worse as it's gotten colder out here in N.Y overall seems to turn ok, and I even had to put all 4 new tires at such low mileage. But concerned something more is wrong with it and just waiting to break with the steering
Lane departure, Forward collision avoidance, Nov 15, 2023
After occasional intermittent warnings (lasting 1-2 driving session with several months between warnings), the vehicle developed a persistent malfunction warning within 2-3 minutes of starting the vehicle. This warning indicated a fault with the lane assist camera that also disabled the vehicle's automatic emergency braking, blind spot warning, lane departure warning, and all adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assistance features in the car. Vehicle effectively has no operating ADAS features. Dealer was able to confirm malfunction warning and found DTCs c1b00 and c1b00-49 (camera unit malfunction). Dealer indicated replacement of camera was only solution available, and that it would not be covered by manufacturer warranty, despite the malfunction disabling several safety-critical ADAS features of the vehicle unrelated to the lane assist camera.
Vehicle speed control, Nov 14, 2023
As I accelerated the car, the car suddenly slowed down. As I accelerated it would barely move no matter how hard I pushed the accelerator. The was a major safety risk because cars were behind me and if I was on a highway, someone could easily slam into my back. The vehicle was inspected by a mechanic. There was no warning on the dash.
Steering, Suspension, Sep 30, 2023
Steering wheel locked up while vehicle was in motion (moving). Yes. Steering noise coming from steering column. Lost control of steering while driving, drove into oncoming traffic. I was injuried while trying to get my vehicle in control. Yes, grease was but onto the steering boot by the dealer and charged. The steering wheel stiffens from time to time. After my accident with the my vehicle the dealer charged me to grease the steering boot, problem is still present. Loud noise coming from steering column began around 25,000.

NHTSA Recall -25V-093 Key FOB Repair Nissan TSB for remedial actions on defective key fob disables the function of the key fob to be "closed". In essence, the "key" protrudes permanently as opposed to its' intended usage within device. The proper recall would have been Nissan to REPLACE these defective Key Fobs which they will NOT perform.

[AEB] Automatic Emergency Braking System 2019 Nissan Rogue I bought a “Certified New” 2019 Nissan Rogue from Destination Nissan in March 2022. The vehicle had less than 8000 miles at time of purchase. I recently have experienced issues with the: [AEB] Automatic Emergency Braking System. I am not sure this rises to a complaint through the Consumer Protection Bureau; but it certainly warrants issues you may want to look into. The warning light indicating the front [AEB] system was NOT working was/is flashing. I figured it was covered under the “Certified New Car Warranty,” so I brought the car to Destination Nissan. Found out that it was NOT under warranty and the front camera had a bad circuit and would cost $2600 to replace. I did not even know this device was on the car when I bought it and really had/have no interest in having this option. I instructed Nissan to NOT do the repair and just remove the option. They said, they could not remove and I simply could ignore the warning by hitting the OK button. We must hit the OK button EVERY time my wife and I start the car. I was pretty surprised that the item was not considered part of the drive train and hence under warranty, as it automatically can stop the car if [AEB] deems necessary. I guess this on me for not doing my diligence at time of purchase, and is not really the main reason for writing you. I subsequently have been doing some research on [AEB] Automatic Emergency Braking Systems. I found and I am sure you are aware there have been numerous issues and recalls. Nissan, Honda, Volkswagen and others are and have been involved. I decided I better have the system checked by my own garage and mechanic. They do not have the necessary software. I called a second garage/bodyshop and found they could do the work but would be at the mercy of a “mobile” Nissan van which would have to be accessed. Their experience with this was not something convenient and advised me to just deal with Nissan myself.

When placed in reverse the back up camera will show just the blue lines on the screen and immediately the screen will go off so the backup camera doesn’t work and while back up the car it just automatically brake even when nothing is around the vehicle and by doing that it has caused my breaks to start making a noise
Exterior lighting, Jul 17, 2023
The speedclips which hold the Map Light in place are formed incorrectly. The interior teeth that retain the Map Light's molded retention tabs are bent too aggressively. Over time, in both our 2017 Rogue and 2019 Rogue, road vibrations caused the teeth to gnaw entirely through the plastic. This causes the Map Light to fall down and "deploy" suddenly into the driver's field of vision. When the map light falls, it not only startles the driver, it obstructs approximately 40-50% of the windshield. Nissan considers this a "cosmetic" issue and thus, it is not covered under ANY Nissan extended warranty. The cost to have it replaced with another part that will STILL fail in the exact same manner is over $1,200. This is a SERIOUS life safety issue since it is likely to fall at high speeds when the car naturally vibrates the most. It happened in 100% of the Rogues we have owned and always at highway speeds. It was repaired under the 3/36K factory warranty on our 2017, but now Nissan claims that it is a "cosmetic" and not covered under our "best you can get" Nissan extended warranty. Eventually, it will cause a serious accident and possibly death of both vehicle occupants and others on the road.

After heavy rainfall I get the message "Warning Malfunction" and "Chasis Control System Error". Brought into Nissan and they can't seam to figure out the problem. I can not use cruise control, lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, forward collision warning, automatic breaking, etc. No water leaks have been detected.

The Rear Automatic Braking (RAB) indicator came on at the same time as the Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) with Pedestrian Detection system warning light "Warning", "System Fault" message. The vehicle dynamic control (VDC) light came on at the same time. The air conditioner fan quit blowing. The car became difficult to handle. The "Rear Door Alert is activated" warning message is intermittent.

When we turn to the left, there's a "popping" noise from the front suspension When the vehicle is turned back to straight the same pooping sound is made. I found a recall for this same vehicle but the years 2014-2016 (NTB15-062c).

A light came on and upon looking it up, it states that my breaks needed to be evaluated. I had the brakes replaced in the summer of 2022, but the light didn't go out. I started having problems with the car stopping and hesitating to stop. I took the car in Feb 2023 to Nissan and they said the Electronic Breaking System was going out. In May, I noticed the Parking break didn't light up nor did it stop the car. I took it back to Nissan and they were talking $1300 to replace it. I feel this should be a recall. You need breaks to stop and that is not something that should be going out. My latest invoice for the fix is $1500 out of my pocket. It has to be fixed as my daughter uses the car and I can't afford an accident, insurance, nor funeral cost. The fix is cheaper.

My son was driving my wife's 2019 Rogue in dry and clear weather when the brake warning system started beeping and braking at about 20 MPH and about 20 feet from the car in front of him, as soon as the beeping started he pressed on the brake pedal as hard as he could. As he did this the brake pedal went completely to the floor and brake system did not stop or slow down at all, allowing him to hit the vehicle in front of him. I have taken it to State Line Nissan in Rhode Island to have it inspected, they said they could find nothing wrong with it. I also contacted Nissan Consumer complaint department and got a negative response from someone telling me how good they are at their job after I explained to them what happened. They kept telling me I was changing my story. They also told me according to the manual that is normal and told me they we're sending it back to my insurance company with a pompus attitude. I have talked to a Nissan teaching technician that teaches the mechanics and was told that is not supposed to happen and anyone who tells me otherwise does not know what they are talking about. Prior to this, about a week before, State Line Nissan had done a brake system flush while changing the oil. I feel that I am not the only one who has had this problem. Does the NHTSA ID# 22V549000 issued July7, 2022 affect this vehicle? I would like to get to the bottom of this, the vehicle is drivable but might not pass inspection next month as I have not had it repaired yet.

I have an intermittent grinding noise coming from the rear brakes. I've had the vehicle to the Nissan dealership (Sid Dillon Nissan, Lincoln, NE) on three different occasions to address the problem. To date, they have been unable to find a problem. On one such visit, the mechanic heard the grinding noise but was unable to find its source.
