My car started smoking/steaming while I was driving through town at night, shortly after the engine light came on and my C/H indicator sailed over to H. I pulled over and immediately shut the car off, called for a tow truck. Took about 10 minutes for it to cool down and stop smoking/steaming. Mechanic ran a diagnostic on it and told me that the cooling fan broke and that it could have started a fire had I kept trying to drive it, said they measured the temp inside and it got up to 268 degrees. They ordered a new one for me, but were told that it would take a while because there were 26 other customers ahead of me that were also waiting for one. My car is still sitting with the mechanic if it needs to be inspected, this is the first time that I have had any trouble with the vehicle in the 3 years that I have owned it.
I was going to take my 2018 Nissan Rouge to the dealer for my electric fan coolant because the bearings sounds like they are going but we decided to do it ourselves because they wanted over 1000.00 USA Dollars and we can't afford that. Even my local garage said it would be over 800 bucks! We started to search the internet to f…

I was going to take my 2018 Nissan Rouge to the dealer for my electric fan coolant because the bearings sounds like they are going but we decided to do it ourselves because they wanted over 1000.00 USA Dollars and we can't afford that. Even my local garage said it would be over 800 bucks! We started to search the internet to find out we are not the only ones with this same problem!! Lots of people are having the same problem with these cars and most of the Nissan brand. I would like to know why this hasn't been recalled. This could heat up my engine or worse case blow it up. The second compliant I have is my seatbelt doesn't work sometimes. The latch keeps getting stuck and the light is on no matter if it is buckled or not. This seems to be not under warranty? WHY it is a safety hazard. I am very disappointed in the Nissan production. I love the car but keep having these problems!

Official recalls
223V093000 · 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.
19V654000 · Back Over Prevention: Sensing System: Camera
Sep 12, 2019
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Nissan Altima, Armada, Frontier, Kicks, Leaf, Maxima, Murano, NV, NV200, Pathfinder, Rogue, Rogue Sport, Sentra, Titan, Titan Diesel, Versa Note and Versa Sedan vehicles, as well as Infiniti Q50, Q60, QX30 and QX80 vehicles. Additionally included are 2019 Nissan GT-R and Taxi and Infiniti QX50, QX60, Q70, Q70L vehicles. The back-up camera and display settings can be adjusted such that the rear view image is no longer visible and the system will retain that setting the next time the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: The lack of an image in the back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Nissan will notify owners in phases, having dealers update the back-up camera settings software, free of charge. The recall began November 11, 2019 and all affected VINs should be activated. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 or INFINITI customer service at 1-800-662-6200.
