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.

FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM, APPLIED HARD BREAKS AT 40MPH, BRING US TO AN ABRUPT REDUCTION IN SPEED TO 15MPH. THIS HAPPENED DRIVING OVER A RAIL ROAD TRACK THAT IS EMBEDDED IN THE TAR, NO TRAFFIC IN FRONT FOR 1/4 MILE, 9AM FULL SUNLIGHT. I ALSO NOTICE THE FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKING WARNING LIGHT COMES ON ERRATICALLY FLASHING FOR DIFFERENT PERIODS OF TIME, THIS HAS BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY AND CITY ROADS, IT HAPPENS WITH NO VEHICLES OR ANY OBSTRUCTION IN FRONT OR SIDE OF MY VEHICLE, IT HAPPENS ON OVERCAST DAY OR FULL SUN. A SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT 50MPH ON A 3 LANE HIGHWAY. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE AND A TRACTOR TRAILER WAS PASSING ON MY RIGHT SIDE, WHEN THE CAB WAS JUST PAST MY HEADLIGHTS, MY NISSAN ROGUE HIT THE BREAKS HARD ENOUGH THAT IT LURCHED US UNSUSPECTINGLY FORWARD, THIS HAPPENED WHILE I HAD MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATION PEDDLE. LASTLY I HAVE NOTICED WHILE USING THE CRUISE CONTROL AND THE VEHICLE IS GOING DOWNHILL, EASING THE ACCELERATOR EVER SO SLIGHTLY THAT THE FORWARD EMERGENCY BREAKING WARNING LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE, BUT NOT EVERY TIME. I WOULD NOTE I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND WHEN I SAID DOWNHILL, I ONLY MEAN A SLIGHT DECLINE, WE ARE AT SEA LEVEL, FLAT LAND.
