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.

Front right tire it feels like the ABS system is locking the tire when traveling on the FWY approximately between 60-65 miles per hour and it makes the car slowdown and pull to the right and then it goes back to normal. It has happened 2 times 9/15/21 and 9/30/21 Very scary situation.

I was driving approximately 40 mph on a road that was unoccupied by anybody else and the light started flashing and my brakes locked up in the middle of the road for about 3 seconds and then released. I reported it to the Nissan dealership they claimed that there was nothing wrong. I went back to the Nissan dealership after contacting Nissan corporation and they told me that there was a sensor that they had to replace but after they replaced said sensor my rear sonar doesn't work so I believe they just disconnected something and then the dealership took back the paperwork claiming that they were going to do more research on the issue.

THREE SEPARATE INCIDENTS HAVE HAPPENED SINCE LEASING THIS CAR ON SUNDAY EVENING ON NOVEMBER 1, 2020. THE FIRST 2 HAPPENED SHORTLY AFTER I LEFT THE SUPERMARKET, I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT & CHECKED ALL MY MIRRORS AND WINDOWS PRIOR TO PULLING OUT WHEN I FELT IN GUT THAT SOMETHING WASN'T RIGHT, I COVERED MY BRAKES WHILE SLOWLY PULLING OUT AND ASKED MY SON TO CHECK OUT ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THERE HAD BEEN A CHILD INCHES AWAY FROM MY CAR AND I DID NOT SEE NOR WAS ALERTED BY THE VEHICLE. THE SECOND, INCIDENT HAPPENED WHEN I RETURNED HOME WITH THE GROCERIES AND MY CHILDREN WERE EXITING THE VEHICLE WITH THE GROCERIES, MY SON THEN CAME BACK TO CHECK TO SEE IF I NEEDED SOMETHING ELSE CARRIED UPSTAIRS AND I DID NOT SEE MY SON AS I BEGAN PULLING OFF, MY SON CHILDREN BOTH YELLED IN VOICES OF DISTRESS..MOM! STOP!!! I SAID, WHAT HAPPENED, HE SAID YOU ALMOST RAN ME OVER. AGAIN, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ALERT ME THAT SOMEONE WAS IN AN AREA THAT I COULDN'T SEE. I COULDN'T LIVE WITH MYSELF IF I CAUSED BODILY INJURY TO MY SON THAT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE GRAVE DANGER, LOSS OF A LIMB OR DEATH. THE THIRD INCIDENT HAPPENED ON WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2020 AT APPROXIMATELY 2:46PM, I HAD BEEN DRIVING CAUTIOUSLY AS I DO ADHERING TO THE SPEED LIMIT, I NOTICED A BICYCLIST PEDALING ALONG HIS WAY, IT SEEMS AS IF WE WERE HEADING TOWARDS THE SAME DIRECTION SO I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE CAUTIOUSLY AS I WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION TO MAKE A LEFT, I CHECKED ALL THREE MIRRORS AND EVEN LOOKED BACK DIDN'T SEE HIM SO I BEGAN TO MAKE A LEFT AS I WAS TURNING LEFT I COULD SEE HIM IN MY PERIPHERAL VISION APPROACHING THE CROSS WALK. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED MY VEHICLE GIVING HIM THE RIGHT WAY AND THANKING GOD THAT I DID NOT HIT HIM. AGAIN, MY VEHICLE DID NOT ALERT ME THAT HE WAS ANYWHERE NEAR MY CAR MEANWHILE HE WAS EXTREMELY CLOSE,

WHILE DRIVING ON 10/12/2020 AND AGAIN ON 10/17/2020, THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY BRAKED TO A COMPLETE STOP WITHOUT WARNING. THE FRONT END COLLISION WARNING LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD INDICATING THAT THE FRONT END COLLISION SENSOR WAS ACTIVATED. THERE WERE NO VEHICLES OR OBJECTS IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE DURING EITHER INCIDENT ON THE STRAIGHT HIGHWAY. SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS ON THE HIGHWAY (55 MPH), IT CAUSED THE DRIVERS BODY TO BE PUSHED FORWARD ONTO THE SEATBELT. THE DRIVER EXPERIENCED SIGNIFICANT DISCOMFORT AFTER EACH EVENT. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO VEHICLES BEHIND ME AS THE ROGUE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AFTER THE VEHICLE STOPPED, THE FRONT COLLISION LIGHT WENT OUT AND THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN AS NORMAL.

NISSAN HAS REPLACED THE DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER WITH AVERAGE SPEED. THE ANALOG SPEEDOMETER IS TO THE RIGHT. THIS MAKES DRIVING THE VEHICLE DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU NEED TO TRAIN YOURSELF TO LOOK TO THE RIGHT TO KNOW THE SPEED. WHEN I FIRST DROVE THE VEHICLE IT WAS ON AVERAGE SPEED WHICH WAS READ 21 MILES PER HOUR. I WAS ACTUALLY DOING 70 MILES PER HOUR. THIS CAN BE EASILY CORRECTED WITH A COMPUTER UP DATE. I WAS TOTAL I COULD PAY FOR AN UPDATE. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY TO KNOW HOW FAST I AM GOING. THIS SHOULD BE STANDARD ON ALL VEHICLES IF THE ANALOG SPEEDOMETER IS NOT IN THE CENTER.

THE FRONT COLLISION WARNING SIGN FLASHES WHILE DRIVING. THIS ONLY OCCURS ON COLD MORNINGS. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE CENTER AND THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THAT THE FLASHING IS CAUSED BY CONDENSATION. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
