--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 emergency breaking system breaks on its own this has been happening since I got the car I went back to the dealership a few months later and they didn’t help me in the slightest I have been turning the breaking system off everyday for years and I shouldn’t have to do that I am paying a loan on a car that is going to kill me… I forgot to turn it off the other day and I stopped when I was going 60 MPH this is unsafe and unreasonable for Nissan to not assist me by either taking this out of the car, giving me a new car or reimbursing me. This car is going to kill me.

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.

Since 2017 car has had issues with toward collision warning and cvt and inaccurate odometer information. There could be no car anround and randomly warning comes out throughout the whole drive and times randomly un safety brakes. CVT transmission constantly hesitates on highway and main roads and has gotten worst over time. I took it to the dealership months after purchasing to see what could be done. They could not find anything . I continue to take it to other places only to find out that the transmission CVT has issues or not just this vehicle but most Nissan rogues sports. Recalls about it the cvt has been reported but nothing has been done.

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.
