DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT APPROX.70 MPH, AND CRUISE CONTROL KICKED OFF BY ITSELF AT LEAST 3 TIMES. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOST POWER, IT WAS NOT LIKE A OUT OF GAS LOSS, IT JUST SLOWED DOWN. I HAD THE GAS PEDAL FLOORED TO MAINTAIN SPEED AS I WAS TRAVELING AT 70MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON INTERSTATE. I MOVED TO THE OUTSIDE LANE TO AVOID ANY CHANCE OF AN ACCIDENT AND TOOK THE NEXT EXIT TO TURN AROUND AND GO BACK HOME. WHEN I GOT ONTO THE ENTRANCE RAMP BACK TO THE INTERSTATE, IT TOOK ME ABOUT 1/2 MILE AT LEAST TO GET UP TO SPEED AGAIN. SINCE I GOT BACK HOME EVERYTHING APPEARS NORMAL BUT I AM AFRAID TO TRAVEL ANY DISTANCE IN CASE I SHOULD LOOSE POWER AGAIN I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE PUT ON THE COMPUTER MONITOR AND THEY SAY NOTHING IS SHOWING AS WRONG. DURING THIS EXAM I WAS TOLD THAT IF THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT NEVER CAME ON THE COMPUTER CHECK WOULD NOT SHOW ANYTHING. AT NO TIME DURING THE POWER OUTAGE DID THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT OR ANY WARNING DEVICE SHOW UP.

THIS SEAT BELT IS RARELY USED, BUT NOW NO ONE CAN SIT THERE BECAUSE IT IS PERMANENTLY ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. WE WERE TRYING TO LOAD FIVE PEOPLE IN THE CAR. THE PERSON IN THE MIDDLE SEAT WANTED TO MOVE. THEY COULD NOT REMOVE THE SEAT BELT. WE HAD TO STRETCH THE SEAT BELT AND HAVE THEM CLIMB OUT OF THE LOCKED SEAT BELT. OBVIOUSLY IF THIS HAD BEEN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, THE OCCUPANT WOULD HAVE BEEN TRAPPED IN THE SEAT BELT.

HOOD LATCH- IN MOTION- HIGHWAY. THE HOOD WILL NOT SECURELY LOCK INTO PLACE. WHEN CLOSED/LATCHED THE HOOD CAN STILL BE MOVED UP AND DOWN. IT VISIBLY MOVES AT FREEWAY SPEEDS CAUSING DISTRACTING LINE-OF-SIGHT AND VIBRATING/SHUTTERING FEEL WHILE DRIVING. ALSO CAUSES HEIGHTEN ANXIETY FOR FEAR THAT THE HOOD WILL FLY UP WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE A DEADLY ACCIDENT. I HAVE WITNESSED AN ALARMING NUMBER OF NISSAN ROGUES AND OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES WITH HOODS VIOLENTLY SHAKING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. A SIMPLE VISUAL EXAMINATION OF NISSAN VEHICLES AT FREEWAY SPEEDS WILL SHOW THAT THIS IS A PREVALENT AND WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. NISSAN'S OWN INSTRUCTIONS STATE THAT "THE HOOD SHOULD LOCK INTO PLACE." OTHER NISSAN PRODUCTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS AND IT IS A TREACHEROUS OVERSIGHT THAT THIS MODEL OF NISSAN ROGUE HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. REPORTING RECALLS IS NOT AN OBVIOUS PROCESS TO MOST VEHICLE OWNERS. A LOW NUMBER OF REPORTS IS NOT AN INDICATION OF A NEGLIGIBLE PROBLEM. LIVES ARE AT RISK. ACTION IS REQUIRED.

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.

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.

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

Consequence: If the front passenger seat occupant is misclassified, the air bag may deploy incorrectly in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ECU and update the OCS software free of charge. The recall began February 13, 2017. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.

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.

Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rear tailgate stays, free of charge. The recall began on November 18, 2016. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2015 Rogue vehicles manufactured February 10, 2015, to May 13, 2015. In the affected vehicles, due to a problem with the shift selector knob, it may be possible to shift out of the "Park" position without depressing the brake pedal.

15V012000 · Service Brakes

Jan 14, 2015

During the assembly process, the front wheel hub assembly fasteners may not have been properly torqued.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: The under-torqued fasteners may result in a brake caliper separating from the wheel assembly causing a reduction in braking performance or reduced steering control. These conditions increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles and tighten any loose bolts to the proper specification, free of charge. The recall began February 2, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.

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.
