OUR 2015 NISSAN ROGUE HAD TO HAVE AN INTAKE MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY BASICALLY THE TOP OF THE ENGINE DUE TO THE INTAKE MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY IS MADE OF PLASTIC!!! WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD PUT PLASTIC PARTS ON THE TOP OF AN ENGINE??? ALSO, THE BLIND SPOT DETECTION CAMERA WHICH IS PLACED IN THE FRONT OF THE CAR BY THE NISSAN SYMBOL WHERE IT CAN BE HIT BY A ROCK OR A BUG AS I WAS TOLD. WHY WOULD THIS CAMERA NOT BE PROTECTED FROM THIS BEING DAMAGED SO EASILY. THE INTAKE MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY COST $1,071.48 TO REPAIR. IT WAS GOING TO COST $1,200.00 TO REPAIR THE BLIND SPOT DETECTION CAMERA. WE KNEW THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE DUE TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAVE INVOICES TO SHOW THE COST OF THE REPLACEMENT OF THE INTAKE MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY. WE DID NOT ELECT TO HAVE THE BLIND SPOT DETECTION CAMERA FIXED SINCE IT IS IN A NON-PROTECTED AREA.

ON THE EVENING OF SEPT. 23, 2020, I WAS ON A CITY STREET IN MYSTIC AND HAD EXTREME DIFFICULTY SEEING, TO THE POINT WHERE I HIT A CURB. MY PASSENGER ASKED ME IF I HAD MY HEADLIGHTS ON AND I ASSURED HER I HAD, BUT IT DID NOT APPEAR THAT WE COULD SEE CLEARLY AT ALL. SHE THOUGHT I PROBABLY HAD PLASTIC HEADLIGHT COVERS THAT HAD DISCOLORED TOOK CAR TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND ESTABLISHED THAT WAS THE PROBLEM BUT THEY COULD NOT JUST REMOVE "GLAZE" FROM OUTSIDE SINCE GLAZE WAS INSIDE THE HEADLIGHT. QUOTED $1,000 TO REPAIR. CALLED NISSAN HEADQUARTERS AND THEY AGREED TO ADJUST COST TO APPROXIMATELY $500; I WILL HAVE REPAIR DONE SINCE I NEED TO DRIVE AT NIGHT ON OCCASION; HOWEVER, THIS IS A TOTALLY UNSAFE SITUATION IF LEFT UNADDRESSED. I DO BELIEVE THIS WAS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND PROBABLY SHOULD BE A "RECALL ISSUE"

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.

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.

An incorrect Occupant Classification System (OCS) Electronic Control Unit (ECU) may have been installed in the front passenger seat. The incorrect ECU and seat combination may misclassify the front passenger seat occupant.

Consequence & remedy

In these vehicles, the front seat passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) may incorrectly classify an adult passenger as a child or classify the seat as empty despite it being occupied. As a result, the passenger frontal air bag may be turned off and not deploy in the event of a crash.

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.

PE24017 · Side Curtain Air Bags May Deploy Inadvertently

Opened May 31, 2024 · No close date supplied

Status: open (inferred from source dates) · Air Bags:side/window:curtain

The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received multiple Early Warning Reporting (EWR) field reports alleging inadvertent deployment of the side curtain air bags in Model Year (MY) 2015 Nissan Rogue Select vehicles.  The field reports allege the side curtain air bags inadvertently deploy after the door is shut and/or slammed.  Inadvertent deployment of an air bag can cause occupants to be injured or result in the loss of protection from the air bag when needed in a crash. ODI is opening this Preliminary Evaluation (PE) to assess the scope, frequency, and severity of the inadvertent deployment allegations.
