Safety Recalls
Official recall campaigns. Tap one to see the danger and the fix.
What is a recall, really?
A recall means the government made the manufacturer admit a safety defect — and the fix is free at any dealer, forever, even for used cars. Recalls range from a software update to "the steering wheel can detach," so read the danger line on each one. Buying used? Ask the seller for proof each recall was completed, or have a dealer run the VIN. Recalls also have a quieter cousin worth reading: technical service bulletins.
NHTSA Campaign 19V654000
What's wrong: 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 danger: The lack of an image in the back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash.
The fix: 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.
NHTSA Campaign 21V839000
What's wrong: Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2017-2019 Rogue Hybrid vehicles. Contact with the Electronic Control Module (ECM) bracket may damage the engine harness, causing a blown fuse.
The danger: A blown fuse may cause an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will install a harness protector cover, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 16, 2021. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall is R21B6.
NHTSA Campaign 23V093000
What's wrong: 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.
The danger: 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.
The fix: 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.

Where Owners Report Problems
Where owners report the most trouble — based on 609 complaints (32 involved a crash, 1 a fire). Tap a part to read the real reports.
Raw count — best-sellers naturally log more complaints than rare cars, so judge it against the peer comparison below, not on its own.
Why don't we show complaints per vehicle sold?
Because no official source publishes sales counts per model — that data is sold by private firms, and the free numbers online are guesses. A rate built on a guessed denominator is a guess wearing a lab coat, so we refuse to show one. Instead we show comparisons where fleet size cancels out or is disclosed: the same model across its own years, the crash/fire severity mix, and the peer ranking below — each with its methodology attached.

BRAND NEW 2018 NISSAN ROGUE, DRIVING TO WORK AT AROUND 6AM ROUGHLY 30MPH. WAS JAMMING OUT AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP WITHOUT ANY WARNING. LAPTOP BAG WHICH WAS ON THE FRONT SEAT SLAMMED INTO THE DASH, LUCKILY I WAS WEARING MY SEATBELT OR I WOULD HAVE HAD NISSAN STEERING WHEEL FOR BREAKFAST. THIS ISSUE HAPPENED IN 2019 AND IT IS STILL HAPPENING IN 2021 AFTER MANY MANY ATTEMPTS TO HAVE NISSAN TAKE THIS VEHICLE BACK. NISSAN I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE.
LEASED A 2018 NISSAN ROGUE IN AUGUST OF 2018 AND STARTED HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. WHILE DRIVING, THE NAVIGATION SCREEN, CENTER CLUSTER WHERE THE SPEEDOMETER IS AND ALL AIR CONDITION AND ELECTRONICS WOULD POWER OFF AND RESTART ITSELF, AS IF I WAS CRANKING THE VEHICLE UP. TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND THE DEALERSHIP STATED THEY HAD NEVER SEEN THIS ISSUE BEFORE AND THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED ME THE NEXT DAY STATING THE CAR WAS READY. ON MY WAY HOME FROM THE DEALER, THE SENSOR SYSTEM THAT WORKS WITH THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING FAILED. I TOTALED THE VEHICLE AND FRACTURED C5, C6, C7 IN MY NECK, AND HAD TO WEAR A CERVICAL COLLAR FOR 4 MONTHS FOLLOWING THE ACCIDENT. I ALSO SUFFERED A CONCUSSION. NISSAN TOOK OVER AND STARTED THEY NEEDED TO PERFORM AN INVESTIGATION. THEY FOUND AN ISSUE WITH THE SENSOR SYSTEM IN THE CAR, AND THE AEB WAS NOT FUNCTIONING. THIS COULD HAVE ALL BEEN AVOIDED. 10 MONTHS LATER THEY SEND OUT A CUSTOMER SERVICE INITIATIVE TO HAVE THE CAR UPDATED AND LOOKED AT AGAIN. HOWEVER THE CAR WAS NO LONGER IN MY POSSESSION.
I WAS SITTING AT A LIGHT WITH A CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME STARTED MOVING SO I ACCELERATED SLOWLY AND MY CAR STARTED BEEPING AND THEN THE BREAKS LOCKED UP. I WAS NOT TOO CLOSE TO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME SO I AM WORRIED AS TO WHY THIS HAPPENED. IF THERE HAD BEEN A CAR BEHIND ME, THEY PROBABLY WOULD HAVE HIT US MY CAR STOPPED SO QUICKLY.
CAR ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN WHILE PARKING. JUMPED OVER THE STOP AND CRASHED INTO A BUILDING. AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM DID NOT STOP THE CAR AND AIR BAGS DID NOT ENGAGE. THIS CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED FOR BRAKING FOR NO REASON AND A NEW TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN INSTALLED AND NOW THIS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A LEMON. LOVE THE CAR BUT TO MANY PROBLEMS.

On 3/5/24 I had a collision with a large deer. The front of the car was impacted. The air bags did not deploy. I was driving at 50 mph. I have sent my concern to Nissan but they have not responded. Approximately $10,000 in damage was done.
I was driving on the expressway when my car started shaking and a malfunction message came on. My steering then started to steer only to the left and the car would not allow me to control the steering any longer. I hit the median wall, did a 360 and was facing the opposite direction of traffic. The door initially would not unlock to let me out. I kept trying in a panic and all of a sudden they unlocked for me to get out. My car was totaled out by my insurance company.
My car was in a collision and it is a total loss. The accident was a head collision on with a parked car, the airbags to not deploy during the accident. This is a safety issue I am very concerned about due to the damage to the car.

Vehicle is three years old. Never used the spare previously. Had a nail in the tire, so called Nissan Care to come and change it. Nissan Care arrived, used the spare that came with the vehicle and changed the tire. Immediately upon driving it, my wife heard weird noises, including grinding under her feet and grinding near the front right of the vehicle. Some knowledgeable car experts at her work told her she needs to get it checked out. She drove on it for less than 15 minutes before hearing a loud pop from the back, at which point the vehicle started smoking. She drove it to a nearby dealer. The dealer indicated the spare tire was not the same size as the others and because the vehicle has an intelligent all wheel drive system, this caused the rear differential to explode. Nissan RO # 6112906 is the reference number at Martin Nissan in Skokie, IL.

The contact owned a 2018 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while pulling out of a parking lot and attempting to make a left turn, another vehicle crashed into the front driver' side of the vehicle and damaged the entire front end of the vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. The contact hit her head on the steering wheel. The contact sustained pain on the left side of the body and was transported to the hospital with the assistance of emergency units, but was not diagnosed. The contact sought assistance from a chiropractor, who informed her that she had sustained a left neck and shoulder sprain. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow lot, and was then towed to a salvaged lot, where it was totaled. The dealer was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that they could not assist because she had signed over the vehicle to a salvaged yard. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.
Was at a complete stop at a red light, was struck from behind in which the car was going approximately 50 miles an hour, and no airbags deployed. The police report stated that they did but in fact they did not. I provided pictures of the inside of the car after the accident showing that they did not deploy. Daughter in back seat suffered fractured vertebrae. She was sitting in center seat. There was an occupant in driver seat as well as front passenger. Driver may have hit chin on driver’s wheel causing bruising but no broken bones. Driver continues to have sore upper back as of April 2, 2024, but no broken bones. Pictures of police report also provided.
I was in a auto accident. The drivers seat (side airbag) deployed as well as the curtain airbag. This accident hasn’t been shown to my dealership because the car is sitting in a junk yard. The side airbag that came out of my seat hit me so hard that it burned me through 3 layers of clothing and gave me a third degree burn about the size of a grapefruit. I have yet to have my insurance inspect this, but it just looks like a deployed airbag and it ripped open my seat. I was being burned. The burn on my clothes was hard around the edges like how polyester burns. It was unimaginable pain.
The car was in an accident. The car's front was what was impacted from the very front of the car. So much car damage was done was that the the car was considered total. The airbags never deployed. It caused injury to the driver.

I was driving on the expressway when my car started shaking and a malfunction message came on. My steering then started to steer only to the left and the car would not allow me to control the steering any longer. I hit the median wall, did a 360 and was facing the opposite direction of traffic. The door initially would not unlock to let me out. I kept trying in a panic and all of a sudden they unlocked for me to get out. My car was totaled out by my insurance company.

Vehicle is three years old. Never used the spare previously. Had a nail in the tire, so called Nissan Care to come and change it. Nissan Care arrived, used the spare that came with the vehicle and changed the tire. Immediately upon driving it, my wife heard weird noises, including grinding under her feet and grinding near the front right of the vehicle. Some knowledgeable car experts at her work told her she needs to get it checked out. She drove on it for less than 15 minutes before hearing a loud pop from the back, at which point the vehicle started smoking. She drove it to a nearby dealer. The dealer indicated the spare tire was not the same size as the others and because the vehicle has an intelligent all wheel drive system, this caused the rear differential to explode.

My drivers seat moves, the back is breaking off of the bottom, as I drive the seat moves and is breaking. This is a big safety issue. I took it to Nissan and they want to charge me over $5000.00 for parts to replace the finisher, the track/ frame and the seat back. This is a 2018 vehicle, driven by a small female, with 68,000 miles. This did not break, it is a defect, and Nissan should have to look at it and repair it. 2023 Rogues have a recall for exactify what is happening to my seat, I saw a recall for 2016 and 2014 Rogues for a seat issue as well. I believe my car has a safety defect and Nissan is not willing to help me.
This is about Driver Seat making click noise under the seat whenever you break or start from a stop(accelerate from stopped position). The same click noise during driving if you break and accelerate. Its similar to noise if you click seat belt. Its something wrong going within the seat itself or seat assembly to the car's body. The seat railing itself looks good. When showed to dealer they saying some coins or objects stuck , but there are no objects stuck at railing. Found same complaints by many owners in the internet. I feel the seat may compromise on any sudden stop/break or if any accident. No other seats giving this click noise. No warning lamps on the dashboard.
Purchased a new 2018 Nissan Rogue. Purchased the Nissan Gold warranty for 7 hrs and 100,000 miles. Recently the drivers seat came very loose and was moving all directions making driving dangerous. Took the vehicle to the Nissan dealer we purchased from for repair. They reported the seat frame’ s rivets had broken and failed. Then they informed us the problem was not under warranty.cost to repair was to be 1,600 to replace the entire seat frame. The vehicle was less than 5 hrs old and mileage of 63k. Also I was told by Nissan personal that the problem was well known and a frequent safety concern, but Nissan corporation is refusing to repair or replace the seat frame, even under a very comprehensive extended warranty. I researched this type of complaint and yes it is a common problem that could lead to serious accidents. I am asking you to research this and order Nissan to fix the problems.
I have had the seat (driver) replaced by Nissan when the seat moves when accelerating and stopping that was two years ago. Now the dealership supposedly replaced the seat with a new one and this is happening again where the seat does not lock in position from moving back and forth. When you accelerate the seat moves back and if you brake the seat moves forward. This is a safety issue where the driver could possibly be injured from the seating moving unexpectedly.

2018 Nissan Rogue SUV: Hood suddenly flew open while driving about 30-35 mph. I was able to safely pull over; although hood and fenders were damaged, I could close the hood and subsequently brought it to a Nissan dealer. A tech at the dealership identified the problem as a "frozen" (open) hood latch. I am awaiting an insurance adjuster to inspect the car. There were no warnings or any symptoms of problems prior to this incident. Had this happened at faster speeds, or on a multi-lane highway, who knows what consequences could have ensued.
Water has been making passenger’s side seats wet both rear and front. Making fungus to grow. That could result in poor health. Its been more than a year. Earlier suspected that water might have been spilled. But its always wet.

The light panel hit the right side of the contact's head which resulted in the contact suffering a minor headache, she did not seek medical attention. The contact pulled the vehicle over and was able to reattach the panel; however, the next day, the light panel fell again. The manufacturer was notified of the failure; however, the contact was informed that she could not file a complaint since the vehicle was out of warranty. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

At March 23rd, 2024, we have oil change on the car. The service sales came back to tell us that the front lower control arms' bushing is torn and needed repair immediately. Without repairing them, the wheels may disengage from the car. So we have them replaced, since losing the wheels during driving will cost our lives. This is for our safety. What can we do???!!! On conversation with the sales, he said this is a common phenomenon. Our problem on this is that, all the cars that we have owned, we never had the issue. This is the first time. Is this a common occurrence? We are not sure. And we simply can not understand why eight months ago during another oil change, this issue was not detected?! Could this be a faulty component installed on the car, we questioned? We also contacted Nissan consumer affairs. Their specialist insisted our car is out of warranty. There is nothing they can do. Is this a responsible car manufacturer's response? At least, they should look in the issue and gave us a satisfying answer, we believed. Anyway, please look into this. On the parts that were replaced, dealership has them. We don't have them in our hand.Sorry about this. All and all, please look into the issue. We just want other Rogue owners spared of the issue! Thank you for reading this and have a great day!
The shoulder strap cuts across my neck. While I'm driving I have to take one hand off the steering wheel to push it down, only to have it slide right back up across my neck. Every time I hit a bump or pot hole, the strap cuts into my neck. There will be a serious injury if I'm in an accident. Also, the suspension is so bad on this car that I feel every bump, and pot hole, and my head keeps hitting the headset. I was told the headset cannot be adjusted. My passenger has long legs. The passenger seat will not go back any further so he sits with legs bent in cramped position. The visor when pulled down is right in my eyes. If I brake suddenly and my head goes forward, it hits my eyes. I will be seriously injured if in a car accident. On turns, especially if there's even a little water, the back wheels of this car skid.
On 12/17/2022 I was driving 45 mph down a straight road. Suddenly the vehicle swerved left into oncoming traffic (so I was face to face with another vehicle), then swerved right very hard and then left again. My car was its two left tires only for a few seconds during this time. After it swerved across the lane 3 times, I was able to control the steering wheel again. I just missed the car in the opposing lane and my car was also heading towards a telephone poll before I regained the ability to control the car again. During this incident my steering wheel was straight the whole time and did not control the vehicle. I did not hit the brakes or acceleration for fear of a rollover because it was swerving so hard. There were no warning lights on the dashboard during this time or after the incident. About 3 minutes before this incident occurred, my car did something similar and swerved hard to the right while the steering wheel was straight and I did not have control of the steering for a few seconds. Mechanics in the area were called and mentioned that it could be the steering motor that could be failing but were unable to look at the vehicle. I had a mechanic come to my house and he said he could not find a error code on my vehicle's system. The car has not been driven since the incident.

We have had a gas smell in our garage, outside the car and inside the cabin and inside our house since 2022 and the service technician confirmed it but said I'd have to pay $160 for them to diagnose it plus parts and labor to fix it. There are lots of "Nissan Rogue gas smell in cabin" complaints AND there is a class action lawsuit filed on the 2020-2023 models. I've seen the same complaints as far back as 2009 so they have been alerted and know about this faulty assembly problem for years and have not taken responsibility for fixing it. We've gotten used to it and a neighbor came over yesterday and said he was getting nauseated from the smell in our living area so I put it out in driveway and this a.m. it wasn't as bad. It's a health and fire hazard and we have gas stove. I'm not sure if local TV Action Reporter could get anything done or if we should hire a lawyer. People walking up to my car exclaim "I smell gas!" No warnings on dash. It seems to be faulty assembly of fuel line to tank or in that area as it's strongest in back seat. My wife has MGUS, arthritis and other medical problems and this is causing a lot of mental stress worrying that the car will catch on fire while we're in it! I will Never buy another Nissan now that I see that they don't care what happens once you buy it! Please answer asap as we use it everyday and don't want cancer, etc. from inhaling gas fumes. Purely breathing the fumes (gasoline inhalation) can result in the following symptoms: coughing and other breathing difficulties, headaches/dizziness, heart failure, and more. Because of how the hydrocarbons attack the nervous system, a wide range of symptoms is possible, but they can all eventually be deadly.

The contact owns a 2018 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that the backup camera would intermittently fail to operate without warning. The contact had called the manufacturer and was informed that there were no recalls on his vehicle. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 37,000.
The backup camera blacked out when backing out of my driveway. I tried restarting the car and it didn't resolve the issue.
The backup camera periodically freezes when you put the vehicle in reverse. Other times, the screen will stay black or just show the Nissan logo until you cycle power. The safety of all inside the vehicle and around the vehicle is at risk when the backup camera feed freezes, especially if the operator doesn't realize the feed is frozen. This vehicle is currently operated outside of the US but will be available for inspection upon return. The issue is intermittent so it has not been reproduced in the presence of any service center. There were no warning messages involved.
Backup camera shuts off. Occasionally when backing up using the rear camera assistant (built into the infotainment screen) the system will shutoff and display the Bluetooth song which is playing. This is dangerous because, a) that camera is there for our safety, and b) its hard to see if anything has moved directly behind the car in the time it takes for the driver to transition from the backup screen to the mirrors.
The contact owns a 2018 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds the crash avoidance system became inoperable.

The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure after several road tests. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted but, no further assistance was provided.

Engine seems very weak. Not enough power to safely pass on a highway. Absolutely gutless and sometimes upon acceleration and/or braking it jerks.
Since I bought the car numerous times(over 50) the car stops or the brakes activate automatically for no apparent reason. Three times my daughter came extremely close to getting into a major accident being that the car behind literally touched the back bumper. I’m afraid of letting my daughter drive it as the car was bought for her, as I’m afraid she’ll get into an accident. Took the car three times to Nissan service as was told this problem is a normal occurrence with this car model and MissN k owns about it but won’t do anything to solve the problem as of yet. I was told that they could replace the “laser” for $2100 which I would have to pay for but there is no guarantee that it would solve the problem. When I asked what are my options besides that I was told to trade the car in and buy another one as if I have the luxury of just buying another car. This issue was reported first in 2019 by other drivers who had the same issue and there are lawsuits going on at the moment by people that got into accidents because of this and still Nissan won’t do anything about it. We need help in order for them to formally recall these models so we can avoid more accidents. Please help!!!!
In the past two weeks my emergency braking system warned me and slightly breaker when I was driving uphill with no obstacles in my path. Now my front safety aids don’t work at all. No emergency breaking, no lane departure or lane recognition. The dealership has worked on it twice, now going in for a third time next Monday. It’s dangerous and it keeps glitching, going on and off randomly.
Out of the blue my vehicle suddenly displayed a "Warning Malfunction" and a symbol that indicated it was related to the blind spot warning system. The car was being driven on a straight side road without any other traffic at the time. The problem is intermittent. It was seen by the dealer and they confirmed that the problem is with the side radar control unit. The dealer also indicated that it is not under warranty (the vehicle has 38K miles on it). Searching online it appears to be a known issue, but no recall yet provided. I strongly believe this is a safety issue, as the sightlines of the car seemed to be a secondary thought since the system was installed. No accident was involved. The car still needs this to be corrected, and we will try to get recourse from the dealership where we purchased the vehicle second hand.

The heat and cold setting is stuck on the a/c cold setting. Unable to defrost or use heat to defrost windows. The gear to switch the settings is worn out and stripped.
I have not had a wreck because of this, but it does affect the ability to drive this car at times. The HVAC blend door on this car will strip out and in the winter you cannot switch it from cold air to hot air. So you have to freeze while driving and if it starts sleeting or your front window starts icing up or fogging up you cannot defrost it because there is not hot air. This seems to be a common issue for Nissan Rogues as you can find many forums with people discussing this issue on different year models. I've tried using JB Weld plastic epoxy as some have mentioned to hold the motor from slipping in the hole but over time it breaks down and strips out again.

The driver side wiper arm stopped working on Sunday, January 16, 2022. The wiper motor and passenger side wiper were still functioning. The wiper arm was checked for damage Thursday, January 20 and none found. The nut holding the arm to a threaded shaft was found to be very loose. The nut was tightened and the wiper arm was repaired. Today, Sunday, January 23, the defect reoccurred. The nut was tightened again. However, this defect is clearly a safety hazard given the driver's side wiper clears more than half the windshield.

At March 23rd, 2024, we have oil change on the car. The service sales came back to tell us that the front lower control arms' bushing is torn and needed repair immediately. Without repairing them, the wheels may disengage from the car. So we have them replaced, since losing the wheels during driving will cost our lives. This is for our safety. What can we do???!!! On conversation with the sales, he said this is a common phenomenon. Our problem on this is that, all the cars that we have owned, we never had the issue. This is the first time. Is this a common occurrence? We are not sure. And we simply can not understand why eight months ago during another oil change, this issue was not detected?! Could this be a faulty component installed on the car, we questioned? We also contacted Nissan consumer affairs. Their specialist insisted our car is out of warranty. There is nothing they can do. Is this a responsible car manufacturer's response? At least, they should look in the issue and gave us a satisfying answer, we believed. Anyway, please look into this. On the parts that were replaced, dealership has them. We don't have them in our hand.Sorry about this. All and all, please look into the issue. We just want other Rogue owners spared of the issue! Thank you for reading this and have a great day!
The shoulder strap cuts across my neck. While I'm driving I have to take one hand off the steering wheel to push it down, only to have it slide right back up across my neck. Every time I hit a bump or pot hole, the strap cuts into my neck. There will be a serious injury if I'm in an accident. Also, the suspension is so bad on this car that I feel every bump, and pot hole, and my head keeps hitting the headset. I was told the headset cannot be adjusted. My passenger has long legs. The passenger seat will not go back any further so he sits with legs bent in cramped position. The visor when pulled down is right in my eyes. If I brake suddenly and my head goes forward, it hits my eyes. I will be seriously injured if in a car accident. On turns, especially if there's even a little water, the back wheels of this car skid.
THE TIRES ERE WEARING UNEVENLY I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT DO ROTATION. UNEVEN TIRE WEAR TOOK IN DOER INSPECTION AND DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM WAS THE RACK AND PINION /INNER/OUTER TIE RODS UNEVEN *TR
VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHAKE ROUGHLY WHEN GOING 55MPH OR MORE. THE WOBBLE EVEN MADE MY SEATBELTS LOCK UP. SEEMS TO BE COMING FROM AROUND THE TIRES MAYBE THE SUSPENSION. THE SUSPENSION LOOKS JUST FINE, DIDNT SEEM LOOSE, YET AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FEELS VERY DANGEROUS! NOTHING NOTICEABLE WHILE DRIVING THROUGH TOWN.

On 3/5/24 I had a collision with a large deer. The front of the car was impacted. The air bags did not deploy. I was driving at 50 mph. I have sent my concern to Nissan but they have not responded. Approximately $10,000 in damage was done.
I STARTED NOTICING THE HEADLIGHTS NOT TURNING ON UPON START UP IN MY GARAGE, THEY HAVE BEEN SET ON AUTO TURNON SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN AUGUST. DRIVING ON CLOUDY,OVERCAST, FOGGY DAYS NOT TURNING ON. NOV.22, APPROX. 6 PM, STARTED CAR, COULD SEE THAT HEADLIGHTS WERE ON WITH DRL ON. PUT IN GEAR, BACKED OUT, ON A CITY STREET, DROVE DOWN STREET ON HEADLIGHTS WENT OFF. HAD TO PARK, TURN VEHICLE ON/OFF, TURN HEADLIGHTS ON/OFF MANUALLY BEFORE THEY CAME BACK ON. THEY WERE SET ON AUTO WHEN THIS HAPPENED. TOOK IT IN TO DEALER NOV.26, THEY SAID NO RECALLS/UPDATES AND WORKING. TOOK OFF, DROVE 15-20 MINUTES AND THE DASH/RADIO/HEADLIGHTS ALL BLINKED OFF THEN BACK ON.??? OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THEY GO OFF IN THE DARK AND I'M DRIVING. RADIO/MAPS ISSUE. THE RADIO RANDOMLY STOPS PLAYING. ONE TIME TOUCHED MAPS BUTTON TO TURN OFF AND THE WHOLE THING FROZE UP. RADIO NOT WORKING, MAPS NOT WORKING. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY/OR CITY STREET WHEN THIS HAPPENS. TOTALLY RANDOM EVENTS. AFTER IT HAD BEEN TURNED OFF FOR APPROX. 20 MINUTES, RESTARTED CAR AND IT WAS WORKING AGAIN. ON NOV.23 RADIO QUIT PLAYING AGAIN. I'VE ALREADY TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALER 2 TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE. DROVE STRAIGHT TO DEALER, SETUP TO TAKE IN NOV.26. THEY CHECKED IT NO NEW UPDATES, OPENED TECHNICAL TICKET AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CALL ME. CALLED ME LATER THAT AFTERNOON, SAID NISSAN AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WORKING ON A FIX WHICH COULD BE NEW UPDATE ( NO GOOD), MAYBE REPLACE THE RADIO OR THE COMPUTER IN THE CAR. NO DATES GIVEN AS TO WHEN THIS MIGHT HAPPEN. TOLD JUST GO AHEAD AND DRIVE IT.THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN DRIVING. WHAT WITH THIS RADIO ISSUE AND NOW THE HEADLIGHT ISSUE SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.
OCTOBER 3, 2018 I WENT TO A LOCAL MALL. ON MY WAY OUT OF THE PARKING LOT LIGHTS STARTED BLINKING ON MY DASH AND THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGED UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN THERE WAS NO OTHER CAR NEAR MY CAR EITHER IN FRONT OR ON EITHER SIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING STEADILY ABOUT 25 TO 30 MPH ON THE ROAD BEFORE YOU GET TO RTE 100/422 BYPASS. THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THIS INCIDENT TO OCCUR SINCE THERE WAS NO OTHER CAR NEARBY, NO DEBRIS ON THE ROAD, AND NOTHING ADHERING TO THE FRONT OF THE CAR NEAR THE SENSOR. I WAS TOTALLY FREAKED OUT BECAUSE THE CAR WAS JERKING, THE CAR (NOT THE DRIVER WAS IN CONTROL) AND IT ALMOST DID NOT STOP AT TA MAJOR INTERSECTION. GOD FORBID I WAS ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION BUT THE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER ABSOLUTE CONTROL OF THE AUTOMATIC BREAKING SYSTEM.
CAR WAS BOUGHT IN MARCH 2018. AROUND 1 MONTH INTO DRIVING THE CAR THE RADIO AND DASH DISPLAY STARTING DOING ITS OWN THING. ONE WOULD SAY RADIO ON, THE OTHER RADIO OFF. AT TIMES, THE CONNECTION MENU WOULD COME AND FREEZE. GOT INTO THE CAR AND STARTED IT AND THE CD STARTED PLAYING LOUDLY, WHICH WAS STRANGE AS WHEN I PARKED AND GOT OUT OF THE CAR I ALWAYS TURN THE RADIO OFF. BLIND SPOT INDICATOR FAILED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN PASSING A TRACTOR TRAILER. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH A STORM COMING THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS WENT OUT ALONG WITH LIGHTS GOING DIM FOR NO REASON SEVERAL OTHER TIMES. HAD ONE INSTANCE WHEN PULLED THE WIPERS TO CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD, THE SPRAYER WORKED BUT THE WIPERS DID NOT. ALOT OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES. TOOK TO DEALER 4 TIMES IN A MONTH SO THEY COULD "DUPLICATE" THE PROBLEMS, I ADVISED THAT THERE IS NO PATTERN TO THESE PROBLEMS. THEY TOLD ME TO CALL NISSAN USA IN TENNESSEE, I DID AND WENT BACK AND FORTH AND THEY SENT A NISSAN TECH TO THE DEALERSHIP. HE DIDN'T DRIVE THE CAR AND ADVISED WE DELETE ALL PHONES FROM THE CAR AND DRIVE IT THAT WAY FOR A FEW WEEKS. ALL PROBLEMS STILL GOING ON. NISSAN USA CALLED TODAY AND SAID TO GO BACK TO THE DEALER, THE CASE IS CLOSED AND THE DEALER MAYBE CAN WORK WITH US ON IT. THEY REASSURED ME THAT WE STILL HAVE THE WARRANTY SO THESE PROBLEMS ARE STILL COVERED. ALL INSTANCES HAPPENED WHETHER DRIVING, STARTING OR PARKING THE CAR. SO 4 TRIPS, 2 RENTAL CARS AND 2 DAYS OF MISSED WORK IN A MONTH AND DRIVING WHAT WE FEEL IS AN UNSAFE CAR.

I HAVE NOTICED AN ISSUE WITH THE REAR VIEW CAMERA. WHEN YOU FIRST SHIFT INTO REVERSE, IT GOES ON. BUT AS YOU BEGIN TO BACK UP, FOR A SECOND OR TWO THE PICTURE FREEZES, ALTHOUGH THE CAR IS STILL BACKING UP; THEN IT RESUMES REGULAR OPERATION. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, BECAUSE IF AN OBJECT OR PERSON IS PRESENT, THE DRIVER MAY BE RELYING ON THE CAMERA, AND THE CAR COULD STRIKE THE OBJECT OR PERSON, ALTHOUGH THE CAMERA WOULD NOT INDICATE HE IS ABOUT TO DO SO, SINCE THE PICTURE IS FROZEN. I BELIEVE IT IS AN ISSUE WITH THE SOFTWARE, NOT PARTICULAR TO MY PARTICULAR CAR. THIS COULD BE CORRECTED BY THE COMPANY NOT ALLOWING THE PICTURE TO DISPLAY UNTIL IT IS FULLY READY TO PRESENT A CURRENT PICTURE. THANK YOU. *TT *TR

? THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING IS FAULTY. ON OCT. 10, 2018, I WAS DRIVING INTO MT. HOPE CEMETERY IN ROCHESTER, NY. THE ROAD WAS CLEAR: NO TRAFFIC, NO PEOPLE. WITHOUT WARNING, THE CAR BEEPED AND CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP AND SKIDDED. FOR A SPLIT SECOND, A YELLOW TRIANGLE WITH SOMETHING INSIDE IT CAME UP ON THE DISPLAY. I PUSHED THE BRAKE. I HIT NOTHING. THERE WAS NOTHING THERE. I DROVE OFF WITHOUT INCIDENT. (ACCORDING TO THE OWNER'S MANUAL, THAT TRIANGLE INDICATED A PEDESTRIAN.) SINCE THEN, I'VE BEEN DISABLING THE AEB WHENEVER I DRIVE. I DO NOT TRUST THE CAR; IT SCARES ME. *DT *TR

How it compares
Typical complaint volume — 609 complaints ranks #12 of 23 popular models from the same year (fewest first · median 640).
5% of its complaints involved a crash or fire, vs 5% typical for its year — this one is fair to compare directly, because it doesn't depend on how many were sold.
Same car, other years — complaint totals for the Nissan Rogue by model year (fleet size mostly cancels out here, so this is the cleanest signal for "which year should I buy?"):
Why raw complaint counts can mislead (and how we correct for it)
A best-selling car naturally collects more complaints than a rare one simply because there are more of them on the road — so a raw count alone can make a popular, reliable car look worse than a troubled niche one. That's why we show the rank alongside the crash/fire percentage (which doesn't depend on sales volume) and the same model's other years. Read all three together.

Crash-Test Safety Ratings
Official U.S. government 5-star crash-test results.
How to read these stars
These come from the government physically crash-testing this vehicle — front, side, and rollover — and scoring it 1 to 5 stars. Ratings are per body style, so a sedan and its coupe twin can differ. If a vehicle shows no rating, it usually means the government never tested that exact configuration — untested is not the same as unsafe, and we'll never blur that line.
