MY VEHICLE WOULD BE WORKING AND RUNNING FINE FOR A LITTLE BIT BUT AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A WHILE, MY A/C WOULD STOP BLOWING COOL AIR. IT WOULD BE BLOWING COOL AIR AT FIRST AND THEN START BLOWING HOT AIR AND THEN MY CAR WOULD START TO OVERHEAT AFTERWARDS. I MOSTLY HAVE THIS PROBLEM WHEN MY CAR IS STOPPED FOR A WHILE OR NOT GOING ABOVE 40 MPH. I WENT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO GET IT CHECKED OUT AND THEY SAID THE PROBLEM WAS THE COOLING FAN. MY CAR IS PRACTICALLY BRAND NEW. I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW IN FEBRUARY OF 2018. IN ORDER TO GET THE COOLING FAN FOR MY CAR, I HAVE TO WAIT 2-3 WEEKS FOR IT TO COME IN BECAUSE THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE IT. I WENT TO A MECHANIC IN MY CITY AND THERE WAS A GUY WITH THE SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL CAR AS MINE AND HE HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS I DID. IT TURNS OUT THAT HE WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AS WELL AND BOUGHT THE LAST COOLING FAN FROM THEM THERE'S NO WAY THAT THIS PERSON CAN COINCIDENTALLY HAVE THE SAME EXACT CAR WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM IN THE SAME EXACT CITY. THEREFORE I'M FILING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I'M OBVIOUSLY NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS ISSUE. MY CAR RUNNING AND WORKING IS A NECESSITY FOR ME FOR I HAVE KIDS AND HAVE TO GO TO WORK SO I'M HOPING THIS ISSUE CAN BE RESOLVED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU.

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.
