The sunroof is and side of the front window leak and caused the electrical system to fault. It happened in my 2017 rogue and again in my 2020. I have had it fixed twice and it still does it.

The sunroof is and side of the front window leak and caused the electrical system to fault. It happened in my 2017 rogue and again in my 2020. I have had it fixed twice and it still does it. They say it’s from dirt but as soon as they ran diagnostics and cleaned it out it leaks again. I have photos and documentation of both visits to the dealership and pics of the leaking.

My wife has been feeling ill after being in our 2020 Nissan Rogue over the past year. We had noticed a very bad smell when it was first started about 7 months after owning it. It was purchased new with only 4 miles on it. The milage now is just under 14k We did some research and found out that we should look at the cabin air filter. When we removed it we found it to be covered with Black Mold. I replaced it and about 3 months later we were having the same issue. We had wrote to the Corporate office and CEO our letter and case was given to Madison an Executive Specialist our case number is Case #45577085 and her direct number is 615-725-7752 we were asked to meet with Paul Smith at Crown Nissan Greenville SC which we did. We also met with Ryan Baughman the Serice Director. They want to replace the entire system even though they did not see any obvious issues. That date has not been confirmed as the parts were not available at that time. The problem is that my wife is unable to be in her new car for any extended amount to time. I worry that Nissan is at one point going to tell us there in nothing more they can or will do. at age 68 we have never had any issue like this in all the vehicles that we have owned in Year Past. They suggested that once the new systems is installed that they would install a Carbon Filter. After a considerable amount to research we are not the only ones with this type of issue, but beyond that the bottom line is my wife feels ill after a short time inside this car which was bought for her. Any help would be greatly appreciated

While driving on a very busy highway, the hood of my 2020 Nissan Rogue opened without warning and smashed on my windshield. I stopped on the side of the road and thank God I was able to close it and was able to drive it home.

Front right tire it feels like the ABS system is locking the tire when traveling on the FWY approximately between 60-65 miles per hour and it makes the car slowdown and pull to the right and then it goes back to normal. It has happened 2 times 9/15/21 and 9/30/21 Very scary situation.

I was driving approximately 40 mph on a road that was unoccupied by anybody else and the light started flashing and my brakes locked up in the middle of the road for about 3 seconds and then released. I reported it to the Nissan dealership they claimed that there was nothing wrong. I went back to the Nissan dealership after contacting Nissan corporation and they told me that there was a sensor that they had to replace but after they replaced said sensor my rear sonar doesn't work so I believe they just disconnected something and then the dealership took back the paperwork claiming that they were going to do more research on the issue.

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.
