MY CAR A/C STARTED TO RUN HOT AIR, SO I PURCHASED THE RECHARGEABLE A/C PRO. MY BOYFRIEND AND I FIGURED OUT THAT WASN'T THE ISSUE. SO I CONTINUED TO USE THE A/C BYT IT WOULD RUN COLD WHILE I WAS IN MOTION BUT IF I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT HOT AIR WOULD COME OUT. NOW THE CAR STARTED OVERHEATING IF I WOULD USE THE A/C. MEANWHILE I HAS JUST TAKEN THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE A WEEK PRIOR TO THAT. SO I STOPPED USING THE A/C, BUT NOW THE CAR WOULD OVERHEAT IF I DROVE FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE COOLING FAN WAS BROKEN AND WOULD NOT COME ON. WHEN HE REPLACED THE FAN WITH A FAN FROM THE NISSAN DEALER HE STARTED THAT THE ONE HE HAD REMOVED WAS LOOSE.

FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKING (FEB) SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT ISSUE AND CAR IS SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES, EVEN WHEN THERE ARE NO OBSTACLES AROUND: 1. DRIVING AT 65MPH, LIGHT STARTED BLINKING, NO OTHER OBSERVED PROBLEMS. CAR / ALL SENSORS WERE CLEAN, NO OBSTACLES. 2. AFTER DRIVING FURTHER (ABOUT 15 MINUTES) LIGHT WENT OFF BY ITSELF. 3. ON A RETURN TRIP THE NEXT DAY, WHILE DRIVING AT 75MPH, NO TRAFFIC IN FRONT OR REAR OF CAR, AND, CRUISE CONTROL SET, CAR SUDDENLY AND VIOLENTLY FELT LIKE SOMEONE HIT THE BRAKES. WE WENT FROM 75 TO 40 VERY QUICKLY. NO INDICATORS ON THE DASH WERE LIT. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL IF SOMEONE HAD BEEN BEHIND US, BECAUSE WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE BRAKES LIGHT DO NOT ENGAGE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, OR THE CAR BOUGHT BACK. IT IS NO LONGER JUST A SAFETY FEATURE, BUT, COULD LEAD TO DEATH ON THE HIGHWAY IF THIS SYSTEM ACTS UP AND STOPS THE CAR WITHOUT WARNING OR EVEN BRAKE LIGHTS.

23V093000 · Electrical SYSTEM:IGNITION:ANTI-THEFT:IMMOBILIZER/PROXIMITY:KEY/SENDER

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.
