1 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 03/12/2026

Driver side door will not open when interior level is pulled, button is depressed, or the black toggle button behind the handle will not allow the door to open at all. This is very scary!!! car is parked position, vehicle is turned off. Door wont open even if you try to push it. Turned the car on after 5 minutes, took three tries to get the door open! called Nissan 3/13/26 approx 9:30 am [xxx] ) to see if there was a recall or what to do as this is a safety issue. Told to take the car to the dealer. This is the second time this has happened in a month. The first time I thought it was an isolated event in February. No accident or injury to report information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

2 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 03/04/2026

There are two issues with my 2019 Nissan Rogue - 1. Parasitic drain - battery dies if the car isn’t operated for 5 days. 2- door lock actuator - door lock actuator on the driver side door has failed and doesn’t work through the remote. A key has to be inserted in the car or manually locked for it to be locked.

3 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 10/11/2025

Broken transmission at 100,000 miles ( maintenance was carried out according to the manual).

4 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 09/16/2025

The transmission failed on my 2019 Nissan Rogue sport. I was driving down the road and my car started to jerk and go faster and then slower while I was driving down the road at 55 miles per hour. I could not control the speed or the smoothness of the car operation. I had no warning light or any indication that this was about to happen. The warning light came on much later when I was at home. This is a problem that Nissan is well aware of and has done nothing to inform customers or mitigate the damage (in my case $6,599. 40). There are many class-action lawsuits, but the one covering this car has already ended as on January 1, 2029. This problem tends to occur at about 80,000 miles, so I am maintaining that Nissan should reimburse me (my car had about 76,000 miles at the time). By cutting off the class-action lawsuit in 2020, no 2019 cars would have 80,000 miles on them. There is a class action lawsuit for another model that runs from 2014 to 2018, so they can honor requests on this model as well.

5 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 07/05/2025

I am first concern with the fact that the cvt transmission is not listed under the “component” section and this concern is a major problem many Nissan drivers are seeing. I would like to additional know how this transmission malfunction is not a safety concern as it tremendously affects the speed and operation of the vehicle regardless of maintenance. I have a 2019 Nissan Rogue sport that recently started to stall at red lights and even lose speed acceleration while in operation. Upon researching what this issue could be I discovered that most 2015-2022 model Rogue have this issue and it associate with the cvt transmission! my question and maybe great fear is why this doesn’t constitute for an immediate recall for Nissan by the NHTSA?! there are multiple reports on this issue to support our claims yet nothing. I strongly advise someone look into this matter before any loss of life happens.

6 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 06/06/2025

1)backup camera freezes. I need to pause the car and wait a minute then it will restart. This happens a couple of times a week. 2)also, there have been several times when going down a hill, my forward collision warning light and sound goes off and it feels like a light emergency brake is applied. (though the dealer told me that I did not have the automatic emergency braking). This occurs for about 2-3 seconds and then stops on it's own. I have never seen anything in the road that would set this off. This has happened about 4 times within the last 6 months or less.

7 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 05/31/2025

Vehicle was issuing a judder feeling, and it had lack of power to the gas pedal at times. The check engine light ended up coming on for p0101 (mass air flow sensor). Dealer replaced the mass air flow sensor and cleared the code. Said they test drove it without any issues. After picking up the vehicle, it was within 10 min, the judder was being felt. Then taking the exit and slowing, I felt the lack of power to the gas pedal. Dealership was called instantly and did a further inspection. Advised that the code p17f2 was coming up and I needed a new transmission.

8 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 02/20/2025

The door actuators on both sides of car do not work properly when you press the lock button on the remote the doors don't lock the actuator prevents locks from opening and closing the doors thus, you think your vehicle is locked but it isn't locked. The trunk closes immediately after it goes up in the open position causing a risk for someone to hit his/her head as the trunk closes immediately after opening.

9 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 01/02/2025

On the fourth transmission with a carvana car. It’s dangerous to drive. I can’t go more than 65 and I drive 200 miles a week. It just had its left front axel done and now today it is the right front axel. Carvana offered me a 500 credit.

10 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 10/02/2024

The part that failed was the cooling fan. According to a litany of google searches, and from a few dealerships, Nissan has known for years about faulty cooling fans and has done nothing about it. My cooling fan went out last night and sprayed coolant everywhere. Not only did the coolant become gaseous as it burned against the hot engine, this poses a huge safety issue as it can cause a vehicle to stall on the highway and become a safety hazard in the event that other vehicles ram into the stalled vehicle, and vice versa. This problem has been confirmed as an issue by the dealership that I go to and yet Nissan has refused to do anything about it. Prior to the failure, there were no warning lamps or signs, until it actually happened and then the check engine light came on. By then it was too late. This issue can cause problems if someone is driving on the highway and are none the wiser. After doing some research, there were class action lawsuits against a few 2013-2017 models of Nissan vehicles, but not for anything beyond that. Confirmed by the dealer, these issues are well known and could be fixed with a recall. Thankfully, my car was parked at the time of the incident, right before I started on a 45 minute drive back home from where I was at. I live in the chicagoland area, where traffic tends to be high and had it happened on the highway, it could’ve caused an even bigger issue to those around me.

11 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 07/29/2024

The radiator cooling fan and cooling fan assembly failed. I do not have the failed fan available any longer. The cooling fan failed during a heat wave, thankfully I was at a gas station when it failed. Had I not been at a gas station, I would have been stranded in northern maine with my [xxx] infant, my elderly mother, and my service dog in excessive heat for hours while waiting for a tow truck. My infant could easily overheat and die in such temperatures. This is a frequent recurring issue in all Nissan Rogue sports from years 2017 through at least 2022. Forums for Nissan Rogues are filled with complaints of the radiator cooling fan failing (some at 27k miles and often around 67k miles), many complaints occuring in the laat month. Nissan is aware of these issues, many people having the dealership repair the vehicle and others (myself included) complaining to Nissan corporate itself. The problem has been confirmed by both dealerships and independent service centers. My component was inspected by the service center. I am unsure who else may have inspected others failed fans. There were no warning lights or messages prior to failure. Two days prior to the failure (roughly 48hrs), I had an issue were my ac suddenly stopped working unless the vehicle was in motion, thinking I needed the ac recharged, I made plans to have that done at the next oil change. I now know that this was likely my radiator fan starting to fail. I had no other symptoms of the problem prior to the fan failing completely and nearly overheating my engine. You can see video of a fan starting to fail here: [xxx] further complaints: [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

12 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 05/28/2024

I was driving and suddenly the gas pedal gave out my vehicle never shut off but would not accelerate even with trying to floor the pedal. Then it jolted off into traffic and the gas pedal went right back out within 45 seconds and glided into a parking spot. It took me 3 hrs to find a mechanic to come to me because it was after business hours and there were no lights on the dash and engine was running extremely quiet code p0776 was what his computer said and Nissan dealers and other mechanics all are saying I need a new transmission. The vehicle is jolting on and off coming out of parking spots hesitant on acceleration. Another mechanic didn't pull up any new codes just previous codes and as I've said there has never been a light on my dash and I get regular fluid changes filters tires etc, I was told the alternator is losing voltage it should be at 14 or better and mines was at 13. I don't even know where to begin seeing as though there are no lights ever on my dash and I've had my truck for almost 4 years and now it's a guessing game.

My daughter accidentally turned the car off while driving on the highway today due to the defective key. Luckily she was able to pull over safely and no harm was done.

18 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 11/17/2023

My son financed a Nissan Rogue sport in Aug of 2023. He was in an accident in Nov of 2023. I have not spoken to him since. He spoke with some of my family members, told them the accident was his fault and he doesn't understand what happened. He said he just lost control while driving. I'm thinking it was the key fob, he's a very tall boy and the crash could have been a result of hitting the key fob while driving. I'm hoping there is a way to find that out. The dealership we got the car from wjk tempe Dodge. 7975 s autoplex loop tempe az 85284-1023. I tried calling them to get some info but got no responses. The vehicle is totaled and sits on the side of my home with a tarp over it. It has not had any type of assesments by insurance company because I am excluded from policy and registration. The police report# is 202301743047. Please help. My son's contact info is dominiq abraham deanda 480-401-6159 spazz_602@icloud. Com he is the primary driver of the vehicle, I am the primary buyer of the vehicle. Valerie renne vega 602-813-8918 valerievega2008@yahoo. Com.

Failure Date: 09/22/2023

I turn on the car and there is no screen and even the radio will be on playing sound at times but no screen nor do any buttons control it then suddenly comes on when driving happened a few times but now im sure something is malfunctioning . Now my back up camera screen went black while backing out of my driveway I damaged my home pvc fence and my right fender was damaged as well in this incident I currently will not count on the camera until there's a recall lastly suddenly at 50mph the vehicle started to brake sharply no one was on road or in front of me for no reason that happened awhile ago these sensors for safety are great but now I feel really uneasy that only happened 1x I am the original owner and never in an accident until hitting my own driveway gate with minimal damage but obvious and noticeable due to camera issue,not sure what to do but my deductible is high I even purchased extended warranty from Nissan so gonna see if they can cover the issue it's a 2019 no trouble lights were ever on and passes nys inspection without issue everytime.

20 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 09/18/2023

Nhtsa recall -25v-093 key fob repair Nissan TSB for remedial actions on defective key fob disables the function of the key fob to be "closed". In essence, the "key" protrudes permanently as opposed to its' intended usage within device. The proper recall would have been Nissan to replace these defective key fobs which they will not perform.

21 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 07/28/2023

When placed in reverse the back up camera will show just the blue lines on the screen and immediately the screen will go off so the backup camera doesn’t work and while back up the car it just automatically brake even when nothing is around the vehicle and by doing that it has caused my breaks to start making a noise.

22 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 03/15/2023

At about 45,000 miles I noticed my passenger door lock intermittently not responding the lock and unlock from the key fob and button on the drivers door. Had I not noticed this could cause a dangerous situation safety wise. I took it to dealer said actuator is not working all the time. At that point I declined to fix it as I do not utilize that door often but now at about 63,000 miles it is not working at all unless I physically lock and unlock the door with the inner lock switch on the passenger door. Rest of doors work fine this should not be killing off already. Not recall the official first date I noticed that but if needed I can ask the dealer so below date is an estimate.

23 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 01/23/2023

Master air sensor: I purchased a 2017 Nissan Rogue: I had the issue, Nissan deemed it a lemon and switched the car to a 2019 Nissan Rogue. I am still paying on it the 2019 car now. Well, the 2019 has the same issue. The car completely stopped on me January 23, 2023 on a hill and was rolling back. It would not start. I had the car towed to the Nissan dealership. It cost me $808. 00 and the $100. 00 tow for the same issue as the 2017 car. Please have Nissan recall al their 2017 - 2020 cars that they have not built with the sensor fix. This is going to happen to all the cars. You cannot tell me that their is a defect that Nissan has not reported. Also, the automatic brake messes up sometimes and stops my car without their being another car around. Scary!!!.

24 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 11/19/2022

A few weeks ago all four car doors locked up on the side of the road with my 5 month old infant inside. The key was in the ignition, the car was running, the heat was on and the radio was running. I had to contact the emergency line for assistance. I also had to break the driver side glass to have access to open the door to get the infant out . A week ago my unit just won't start even numerous jumps attempted. I unlocked the unit ti go inside to unlock the gas tank lid and the radio came on for at least 5 mins without the key being in the ignition.

25 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 11/04/2022

I was driving down a clear road going between 43-45 mph, wasn't raining nor snowing, I didn't get to close to the edge and there wasnt any traffic. My car out of nowhere started to shake as it powered down on me. I saw my little information screen by my pedometer and it was lit up red like if I were to manually apply the emergency brakes. I got it serviced three times since then. Now I see all these recalls with the same exact year, make and model as mine but kbb and NHTSA both say my car isn't recalled.

26 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 10/14/2022

On October 14 2022 I was driving my vehicle at about 35mph and came suddenly upon a stop sign. I hit the brakes and skidded through the intersection and collided with a pick up truck going about 15 mph. My Rogue immediately caught fire from under the hood and the doors wouldn't open. The person I collided with was the only person amongst a dozen people who was brave enough and cared enough about my life to ram his body repeatedly into the rear passenger window and yanked me out of the car. Within 10 seconds of him doing that the vehicle exploded. I almost lost my life from what would be considered a minor collision due to the unexplained fire and explosion.

27 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 09/17/2022

The cooling fan stops working causing the ac to go out and the car/engine to over heat. Nissan knows this is an issue but has nothing to fix the problem and they can't even get their own proprietary parts to replace the problem part.

28 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 09/13/2022

I had a terrible scare last Tuesday morning around 8:30 or 9 on September 13, 2022. I was driving along the hwy going about 35 to 40 mph when my car came to a hard sudden stop in the road I was so scared luckily nobody was behind me or it could have been an accident. Couple days later I took it to fred anderson Nissan dealership to get serviced, and the mechanic couldn't find anything wrong with it. I had this car for 2 months and I am afraid to drive it but I don't have another vehicle and I have to get to work. Also I travel on I-40 hwy frequently and I pray to god that it does'nt happen while I'm driving the speed limit which is 60-65. Please contact the dealership and see if they can resolve the problem before its too late. Thanks for your concern.

29 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 08/06/2022

I saw the recall for Nissan infotainment system randomly rebooting: r22a5 pc901 pc902. My 2019 does the same thing. I've had it occur twice in just the last month. It is available for inspection anytime. Safety issue is the same as for the recall listed above. No confirmation/reproduction by a dealer, no inspection by others, no warning lamps.

30 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 07/11/2022

The radiator fan is bouncing off the radiator. Looks to be the baring inside the fan blade is worn down & making it bounce. I called multiple places such as o'reilly auto parts, auto zone, & advanced auto was told they don't even have an item part for the fan. I called three dealerships the manager at these dealerships laughed & told me they are on back order indefinitely. This is a huge issue with this model car. I believe this is a hazard that could cause a huge accident if not brought to light.

31 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 03/11/2022

32 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 02/19/2022

While using the bluetooth hands-free phone system the person I call hears a whistling noise through the phone's speaker during the call and the whistling noise increases when the engine rpm is raised. This is a known problem in some of the 2016-2018 Nissan Rogue models.

33 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 12/04/2021

Hi, I have a 2019 Nissan Rogue yesterday I was driving at 60mph and nothing in front of the car suddenly the aeb light flashed and engaged the breaks thank god that no one was behind me.

34 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 10/15/2021

Last Friday, oct 15, 2021 driving by the freeway (no cars around), the sunroof just shatter, making a big hole in the glass, this could be a really bad situation if the cover were opened, thank god the hardcover was closed or we could get covered on glass and could cause a really bad accident. My family's safety was at risk of course. On Saturday morning, I called clay cooley Nissan (the dealer where I bought it) to let them know what happened, and they didn't care, they told me they can't help me and that I need to go to the insurance and hang up the phone on me, I called again and the guy was so rude and the same thing. We (my husband and I) look to a place where they can replace it and I put a complaint in the bbb about clay cooley Nissan and of course they called me on Monday morning but I just waist my time, they told me they will help and I went all the way to them and nothing. The problem has been confirmed by an independent service because the dealer (clay cooley Nissan didn't want to help me). There were no warnings at all about it.

35 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 09/21/2021

2019 Nissan Rogue, this is the first (09/21/21) of 2 (03/16/22) electrical issues with my car which I bought new from a Nissan dealer. The mileage on 9/21/21 was 9,868. There had been a squealing noise heard when turning off my car and opening the drivers door. Then while driving it 3/16/21 my vehicle doors began to unlock and lock which was confusing and annoying and then a yellow warning light lit on the dashboard when I went over bumps in the road then the cruise control shut off at the same time. Luckily there weren’t any cars around my car. My cairn terrier dog was riding in the backseat. His collar was attached via leash to the headrest for safety. I had no idea what was going on with my car. I drove to the Nissan dealer they looked my car over. They claimed the hatch was not shut as the cause. It made no sense to me as the above happened as I was driving and no dash light went on until my car doors started locking and unlocking and the cruise control shut off when I went over bumps. Refer to my second complaint for the next electrical issue that happened 6 months after this one it relates again to the cruise control. I filed a separate complaint for the 2nd electrical issue (mileage 12,120) with NHTSA.
