IllustrationWHEN I WAS DRIVING, IT WAS AS THOUGH IT HAD SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL. I WAS ACCELERATING WHEN IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE ANYMORE AND JUST COASTED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. ALSO WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, IT TOOK A MINUTE TO GO. WHEN IT DID FINALLY GO, IT WAS VERY JERKY AND I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT.

DRIVING ABOUT 50MPH, NOBODY ELSE ON THE ROAD (HWY 152 IN MUSTANG OK) AT AROUND 10PM. ON IT'S OWN, THE VEHICLE STARTS BEEPING, DASH FLASHES A YELLOW TRIANGLE SYMBOL AND THEN THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM APPLIED THE BRAKES OUT OF NOWHERE BRINGING US DOWN TO ABOUT 15 MPH BEFORE WE REGAINED CONTROL OF IT. AGAIN, THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE ON THE ROAD, EITHER DIRECTION, IN FRONT OF, BESIDE, OR BEHIND US. THERE ARE PLENTY OF STREETLIGHTS AND VISIBILITY WAS VERY CLEAR, WE DID NOT SEE AN ANIMAL, OR TRASH BLOWING ACROSS THE ROAD, OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT COULD HAVE TRIGGERED IT. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER ON MONDAY BUT THE SERVICE TECH SOUNDED LIKE THEY HAD NEVER HEAR OF THIS BEFORE EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A TSB FOR IT. THEY BASICALLY JUST SAID THERE IS NO RECAL FOR IT, BUT WE'LL CHECK IT OUT.
EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM TRIGGERS ITSELF RANDOMLY. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT HOURS WITH NO ROAD HAZARDS, OR OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD WITH ME, AND SUDDENLY THE WARNING EMERGENCY LIGHT COMES ON, AND MY CAR STOPS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS IN THE 8 MONTHS I'VE HAD THE CAR.
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.
