I WAS HEADED SOUTH ON THE I-5 (SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, LOTS OF CONSTANT TRAFFIC) WHEN MY CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING AFTER ABOUT 45 MINUTES. GOING UPHILL, I PUT MY PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND WASN'T GOING OVER 60MPH, MY RPMS REACHING ABOVE 4. MY CAR MADE A WHINING NOISE EVERY TIME I TRIED TO ACCELERATE. SO I PUT MY HAZARDS ON, TOOK THE CLOSEST EXIT, AND LET MY CAR REST FOR ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES. I GOT BACK ON THE FREEWAY AFTER RESTING AND NOT A MINUTE OR TWO LATER AND THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. I PUT MY HAZARDS BACK ON AND JUST PULLED OFF ON THE SHOULDER, LETTING MY CAR REST AGAIN FOR ANOTHER 5-10 MINUTES. I TRIED AGAIN, NOW REACHING THE TOP OF THE HILL AND WAS ABLE TO FINALLY COAST DOWN THE HILL THE PROBLEM HAPPENING AGAIN, BUT THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE. THE FIRST IN THE BEGINNING OF JULY, THE SECOND AND THIRD AROUND AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER, AND THEN NOW. IT ONLY HAPPENS ON DRIVES ABOUT AN HOUR LONG (OR LONGER) WHEN I GO OUT OF TOWN.

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.
Jan 21, 2022
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2014-2016 Rogue vehicles. The electrical connector for the under dash harness may corrode due to water and salt intrusion from the driver's side foot well.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Corrosion in the electrical connector can result in power window/seat failure, all-wheel-drive warning light illumination, battery drainage, and electrical connector damage that increases the risk of a fire.
Remedy: Dealers will remove the harness tape and harness covering and replace both connectors and apply white lithium grease to the connectors as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 23, 2022. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall is R21B9.

Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the passenger frontal air bag does not deploy as intended in the event of a crash, the passenger is at an increased risk of injury.
Remedy: Nissan will notify their owners. Chevrolet City Express owners will be notified by General Motors. Dealers will reprogram the Air Bag Control Unit (ACU) and OCS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) in Altima, Maxima, Murano, Rogue, and Sentra vehicles, and replace the OCS ECU in LEAF, NV200, NV200 Taxi, Pathfinder, Infiniti Q50, JX35, and QX60 and Chevrolet City Express vehicles, free of charge.
