The cooling fan supposedly has failed.The car is certified preowned,but of course this component is not covered.The car has been towed to Middletown Nissan in NY.We have been told the fan is on back order and they have had the car for three weeks now.My issue is they tell me there is Three other vehicles ahead of ours also waiting on a fan.when I inquired with another Nissan dealer(Thruway Nissan) about the price of the fan ($420)I was told that it would be on back order and there was 3 other cars ahead of mine waiting on these fans.This car has 35,000 miles on it.It seems awefully suspicious that 7 cars only 4 years old had these fans fail within a 40 mile radius.Should'nt someone question if this should be investigated for a recall?This was quoted as an $880 job.

The check engine light came on out of nowhere. Took it to the auto zone and Nissan dealership. States the engine is over heating and needs a cooling compartment. However the cooling compartment is on national back order

THE AIR WILL TURN HOT, THE RADIO WILL TURN OFF, THEN THE AIR BAG LIGHTS FLICKER, THEN IT STATES THAT THE VEHICLE IS OVERHEATING(EVERY PHYSICAL EXAMINATION INDICATES IT IS NOT). YOU CAN TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND ONE TIME IT WON'T GLITCH AND THE NEXT TIME IT WILL. IF YOU LEAVE THE VEHICLE RUNNING FOR TOO LONG, IT BEHINS TO GLITCH MORE AND MORE. TO THE POINT WHERE IF WE WERE TO DRIVE A LONG DISTANCE I AM AFRAID IT COULD TURN THE VEHICLE OFF WHILE DRIVING. WE ARE TRYING TO GET A SERVICE CENTER TO DUPLICATE. IF YOU HAVE THIS YEAR MODEL AND NOTICE YOUR AIR FEEL A BIT WARM AND RADIO GO IN AND OUT, WATCH YOUR HEAT GAGE, THAT IS HOW IT STARTS TO MESS UP.

FOR OVER A YEAR, I'VE HAD TROUBLE WITH ONE OF THE TIRES LOSING AIR EVERY FEW DAYS. I'M THINKING THAT PERHAPS IT IS THE VALVE STEM, BUT I'M NOT A MECHANIC. THE OTHER DAY, THOUGH, I WAS ACCELERATING ON A MOUNTAIN ROAD MOVING ABOUT 45/50 MPH AND THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING. IT WAS AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL AND COULD NO LONGER MOVE. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO MY HOUSE, ABOUT 5 MILES AWAY. IT STILL WILL NOT MOVE WHEN I PUT IT IN GEAR. I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE WAITING FOR THE TOW TRUCK AND A FEW TIMES IT WOULD GO INTO GEAR, BUT MOVED VERY SLOWLY. WHEN IT MOVED ABOUT 5 FT, IT WOULD AGAIN ACT AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL. THE LAST TIME I TRIED, THE MIL LIGHT UP AND HAS NOT GONE OFF. I JUST WENT AND TRIED IT AGAIN AND TOOK A VIDEO SO YOU COULD HEAR THAT IT IS NOW WHINING LOUDER THAN NORMAL AND WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE, IT ACTUALLY JERKED AND STARTED ROLLING BACKWARD. IT LOOKS LIKE I CAN'T UPLOAD THE VIDEO, THOUGH. I ADDED PICTURES OF WHAT IS LIT UP IN THE PANEL.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED, AT LEAST 10 TIMES AS OF 9/12/2020, THE LATEST INSTANCE BEING YESTERDAY 9/11/2020, A LACK OF RESPONSE WHEN ACCELERATING. EVERY INSTANCE OCCURRED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP, NO ROLLING STOPS WERE AFFECTED. SOME OF THE TIMES IT WAS REALLY HOT (95 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT), BUT OTHER TIMES IT WAS 65-70 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. SOME OF THE INSTANCES WERE RIGHT AFTER I TURNED THE CAR ON AND NEEDED TO STOP AND THEN GO, OTHER INSTANCES WERE AFTER DRIVING FOR 30 MINUTES OR MORE. I WOULD PRESS THE GAS PEDAL TO DRIVE AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE CAR, I.E.NO FORWARD MOTION, NO RPMS, NO REVVING OF THE ENGINE. I WOULD THEN LET THE GAS PEDAL COME UP AND THEN PRESS THE GAS PEDAL DOWN AGAIN TO ACCELERATE. IN SOME OF THE INSTANCES, THE SECOND PRESS OF THE GAS PEDAL WOULD MAKE THE CAR GO. MOST OF THE INSTANCES NEEDED A THIRD VERY FAST COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR PRESS OF THE GAS PEDAL IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO MOVE. SOME OF THE INSTANCES WERE WHILE I WAS JUST SITTING AT A RED LIGHT WAITING TO GO, OTHERS WERE WHEN I NEEDED TO STOP TO MAKE A LEFT TURN (WHICH BECAME QUITE DANGEROUS VERY FAST). NONE OF THE INSTANCES HAPPENED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY OR WHILE CHANGING SPEEDS WHILE DRIVING. ALL INSTANCES HAPPENED ON SUBURBAN ROADS WHILE RUNNING ERRANDS OR GOING TO AND FROM WORK OR PEOPLE'S HOUSES. THERE DID NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES WHEN THESE INSTANCES HAPPENED, THE RADIO AND LIGHTS STILL WORKED CORRECTLY WITHOUT ANY HESITATION. THERE WERE NO LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD ALERTING ME TO ANY CODES BEING GIVEN BY THE ENGINE. I AM REALLY UNSURE OF WHAT THE CAUSE IS, AND THE MECHANICS COULD NOT REPLICATE IT TO LOOK INTO ANYTHING. AFTER A FEW INSTANCES OF THIS, AND IN TALKING TO SOME OF MY CAR FRIENDS, IT COULD BE A THROTTLE RESPONSE ISSUE OR MAYBE A GUMMED UP VALVE IN THE FUEL SYSTEM SOMEWHERE. I REALLY DON'T KNOW.

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.

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.
