--This vehicle had a serious problem with the Roof Wiring Harness that, according to the dealer, could have caused a fire. Attached is a copy of invoice 258752: Cost to repair was $1,952.06. The initial symptoms were malfunctioning map and visor vanity lights and they first appeared about March 2024 --This exact same problem was the subject of a recall for 2017 Rogues. However, for some reason, the recall did not extend to the "Sport" models. Since this was the exact same dangerous condition that resulted in a recall and repaired at no cost that was covered by the recall, the recall should be extended to the "Sport" model. I also wanted to alert you to problem that probably exits in all "Sport" model that could also endanger the owners of those vehicle. --I contacted Nissan (case #51188260) on April 24, 2024 and they denied our claim for reimbursement since the "Sport" model was not included in the recall. Clearlyly, all Nissan Rogue models should have been covered by the recall --The initial symptoms were malfunctioning map and vanity lights which appeared in March, 2024.

My Rogue Sport has less than 35k mileage. While I was driving yesterday my radio sputtered then the whole screen (radio, backup camera, clock) went completely dark and a large amount of smoke came from in the cabin of the vehicle and the smell of electrical burning. I immediately pulled over thinking the whole car was going to catch on fire, turned the radio to the off position and rolled down the windows. I waited approximately 5 minutes and thought if it was going to catch fire it would have done so. The smoke took a long time to dissipate and the smell of electrical is still in my car. There was no warning. I will be scheduling an appointment with the dealer to try and get additional details. Prior to this there was no indication there was a problem.

The cooling fan for my 2017 Nissan Rogue is defective. The repair shop said there are 2 to three month backlogs to replace the defective fans in the Rogue model because the initial version of the fan as defective (apparently here are 100os of Rogues broken down waiting for the new version of the fan). This is a safety issue as well as a product defect issue as a vehicle breakdown in traffic is possible due to this defect. The defective fans are still being sold on the market and Nissan is not acknowledging the problem.

Feb 16, 2023

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.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: 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.

Remedy: 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.
