I was backing out of my parking spot at work and backed into a car. My backup safety sensor’s did not work. No warning I was near anything. It should have stopped me from hitting anything especially another car. The backup camera has had times of not working.

I was pulling into a parking space with my foot on the brake going about 2 mph. About 4 feet from a pole the engine raced and the car slammed into the pole. The airbags did not deploy. I was the only person in the car and my foot was still on the bake after the collision I asked Nissan to investigate and they said I would have to wait to get the car fixed for two months and store and tow it at my own expense. It was already being repaired and my insurance company will only pay for a rental for 50 days.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HER BRAND NEW NISSAN ROGUE 2020, SHE WAS HEADED TO WORK AND IT WAS SNOWING. AS SHE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE AUTOMATED EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM LITERALLY SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AT FULL FORCE MAKING HER SLIP AND GO OVER A CURB, MY WIFE DID NOT EVEN TOUCH THE BRAKES ALL SHE HAD TIME TO DO WAS BRACE FOR THE CRASH. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY I WOULD NOT HAVE A WIFE RIGHT NOW THIS HAPPENED ON 01/27/2021. THE COLLISION SYSTEM OF THE VEHICLE CAUSED THIS DUE TO WHAT THE VEHICLE ITSELF IS SAYING MALFUNCTION IN THE FRONT AND REAR COLLISION SYSTEMS. SHE WAS SCARED TO DEATH THE COLLISION SYSTEM IS SUPPOSED TO STOP ACCIDENTS NOT CAUSE THEM. I HAVE A CLAIM NUMBER WITH NISSAN AS WELL FOR THIS [XXX}. MY VEHICLES RIM IS CRACKED, INNER TIE RODS BROKE, THE COLLISION SYSTEM WILL NOT LET ME DRIVE THE CAR AS WHEN I START MOVING IT THE BRAKES ENGAGE IMMEDIATELY ITS MAKING A HORRIBLE SHAKING NOISE LIKE ITS STALLING AND I CAN HEAR THE BRAKES ENGAGING AND TRYING TO ACTIVELY STOP THE VEHICLE. I DO NOT WANT MY WIFE OR ANYONE DRIVING THIS CAR. THIS IS SUPER DANGEROUS AND I WANT THOSE SENSORS EITHER REMOVED OR NISSAN WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR MY CAR SO I CAN GET A NEW ONE THIS COULD KILL THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IF ITS NOT CORRECTED. I HAVE VIDEO AND PHOTO PROOF OF THIS.*DT*DT*JB*DT Consumer has not taken vehicle for diagnosis yet. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).”

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.
