The transmission would not go when the gas pedal was pressed. This happened at least 3 times since I’ve owned this vehicle.

The transmission would not go when the gas pedal was pressed. This happened at least 3 times since I’ve owned this vehicle. I was making a left hand turn crossing traffic and the vehicle would not go with oncoming cross traffic. This last time was a close call and my son was in the front passenger seat. Problem can not be reproduced on demand. It randomly happens and throws no codes or check engine light. The vehicle has only been inspected by the dealership and independent shop. No warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms prior to or after failure. After a few seconds of unresponsiveness the transmission will begin to work correctly again. By the time I get it to a shop nothing seems wrong with it.

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.
