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.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2018 NISSAN ROGUE SPORT S AWD AND OUT OF THE BLUE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL POP UP'S CHASSIS CONTROL SYSTEM ERROR AND AND ALL OF THE LITTLE INSTRUMENT DIAGRAMS STARTED FLASHING ON AND OFF THE RADIO AND CLOCK TURN OFF THE CAR WAS MAKING A BUZZING SOUND. SO I PULLED OVER OFF THE ROAD TOOK OUT THE MANUAL IT SAY TAKE TO A NISSAN DEALER FOR COMPLETE SCAN OF ALL THE SYSTEMS. WHICH I WILL BE DOING ON WEDNESDAY 1/8/2020, WHICH IS THE EARLIEST THAT THEY COULD SEE ME. BUT MY QUESTION IS IS THEIR AND ISSUES WITH THIS CAR BECAUSE I'VE BEEN CHECKING ONLINE AND ALOT OF PEOPLE OR REPORTING THEY HAVE ISSUSES WITH THIS SYSTEM AND NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO GET AND ANSWER ON WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. AND IF THIS ISSUSES HAS BE GOING ON SINCE ABOUT 2016 THAT I'VE FOUND WHY HASN'T NISSAN DONE SOMETHING ABOUT IT,

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.

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.
