Electrical System Problems of Nissan Rogue - part 2

2008-13 Nissan Rogue/2014 Rogue select (s35) driver’s kick panel harness connector inspection voluntary safety recall campaign reference: r1421 I spoke with Nissan and the recall does not cover my VIN number however I had previously owned a 2015 Nissan altima and experienced the same issue. My car will be serviced on 2/24/26 with a Nissan dealership in hampton, va for repairs related to this issue. My daughter drives the car while she is away at college. The issue began a few weeks ago when snow and rain occurred and now the bluetooth is going out and now the check engine light appears. I'm pretty certain this VIN should be included in the recall previously issued. The car maybe out of warranty but this appears to be a manufacturer related problem. I'm attaching current video.

Driver display, dash, lights all shut off randomly! bluetooth disconnects. Reconnects right away. Like if it has a short. Does this especially on long trips.

The front passenger car door failed to lock. It is considered a safety issue as it can leave the vehicle vulnerable to theft and may also pose a risk while driving if the door opens unexpectedly. It's important to address this problem promptly to ensure safety and security. There were no warning messages indicating the failed lock. I just happened to pull the handle and that door opened when all other doors remained locked. Prior to this discovery, I had experienced an incident where someone went through my car and took out valuables (coins and cash) but I was unaware that the door was not locking. Once the issue was identified, I took the car to the dealership for diagnosis, and the issue was a short in the door lock actuator (4 door 2018 Nissan rouge). I took the car in for immediate diagnosis and costly repair ($852. 03) as I did not feel comfortable driving or parking a car which could not be locked. (I am unable to upload the repair invoice, tried as a pdf and jpeg. ).

Car electrical dash lights up, powertrain, strange noises, electrical glitches, engine stalling, carbon monoxide or gasoline smell, makes me dizzy when turn on the ac.

When activating the right turn signal the windshield washers and wipers will turn on. Washers, wipers, and the turn signal all turn off when the turn signal is deactivated. This can cause some unexpected visibility issues while turning. Also, when turning the headlights from "auto" to the "off" position the windshield wipers will turn on. The wipers will stay on until you switch back to "auto". These problems are repeatable. I plan to contact the Nissan dealer to see how much a multifunction switch replacement would cost.

I was driving my car and my car all of a sudden dropped speed and when I pressed the gas my car started shaking and jerking.

The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, unknown orange warning lights illuminated, and the message “do not drive” was displayed. The contact was instructed by the dealer to immediately tow the vehicle to the dealer. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed, and determined that a wiring harness had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 35,000. The VIN was not available.

2014 Nissan Rogue door actuator malfunction. Driver door will not unlock to get in, whether using a fob or actual key and will not open to get out. Getting in and out of car in an emergency is imperative. It has not been inspected by anyone. There were no warning lights to indicate.

The vehicle reads the speed limit signs improperly and the adaptive cruise control will speed up the vehicle to the improper speed limit. For instance it is 45 mph on sr 70 in TN and the vehicle will read the speed limit as 70 mph and take off up to 70 mph on it's own. Very dangerous. Took it to 2 dealers and they are unable to fix the problem.

I am reporting a serious safety incident involving my 2021 Nissan Rogue, which caught on fire unexpectedly on Feb. 6, 2026 approximately 4:30 am. The fire originated from the vehicle without warning and posed an immediate danger to life and property. The vehicle was parked at the time of incident. There were no actions taken that would reasonably explain a fire of this nature. This incident could have resulted in severe injury or death. I believe this may be related to a manufacturer defect involving fire risk, and I am submitting this report so NHTSA can investigate and take appropriate safety action to protect other drivers and passengers.

Both doors on the driver side have quit locking and sometimes unlock by themselves. This is scary.

Driver's side door locks intermittently will not lock or unlock with button or intelli key fob. Requiring to use manual key inside intelli key to unlock/lock car or manual inside lock itself. Multiple people have filed complaints about this. There is even a class action lawsuit. Something should be done to force Nissan to do a recall instead of saying we can fix it for $700. I understand that some may not see this as a specific safety issue but when coming to your car in a dark parking lot and having to search for the key to manually unlock it, feels a little like a safety issue to me. Thank you for your time.

I have 2 different issues. One is the passenger rear door not wanting to open sometimes from outside sometimes from inside. Then sometimes it won't unlock and sometimes it won't lock. This issue started about 3 months ago. Second is my clock time both on the dashboard and the one where the radio/gps shows it goes crazy from time to time. I just didn't know it was something we could report. This has been happening for about 2-3 years. When it happens it's always when I first turn on the car, it adds one hour exactly it always throws me off. Sometimes I have to check my phone to make sure. As I drive it take like 5 or so minutes then goes back to normal time on both clocks automatically. Sometimes it can be a couple months before it does it again, but has been consistently happening. I really haven't written down how often it happens.

My rear back up camers stopped working. I took the car to my local Nissan dealer. I bought the extended warrenty for electronics so they replaced the camera to no avail. Then they replaced the a/v control unit which did not fix the probelm. At that time they advised me the rear wiper grommet leaked wated which caused the camera connector to corrode. They advised me to fix this I must replace the tailgate. There is no repair for this. I have seen posting on facebook and other places showing I am not the only person this is happening to. The dealer knew about it but when I questioned if it was a known issue thet played dumb I feel this is a safety issue as I have no rear camera now.

Door lock actuators on driver side doors failed after less than 4 years. Both were “burnt” out according to Nissan tech. Unable to lock, unlock doors. Safety concerns.

I was driving at night at highway speed, and I turned down the brightness of the screen using the dimmer controls on the lower left side of the dash assembly. After several presses of the button from full illumination to approximately 40%, the entire instrument panel went blank, and a loud alert sounded. I lost all instrumentation for a few seconds, and then the screen rebooted. After it rebooted back at full brightness, I tried reducing it again, and the instrument panel rebooted for a second time while on the highway.

The front camera and sensors are constantly popping up that they are disabled. The front sensor failed to indicate warning and failed emergency brake. Car should have stopped but I stead it hit the car in front. Sensors, and other electrical services are constantly disabling themselves, or failing to work. What is the point of safety features if they constantly fail.

I was just driving my foot on the gas pedal got really hot like the heat kicked up and flames were coming out from infront and behind the firewall at this point I was on the highway doing. 70 pulled over and had to run I lost everything cash cards phone medication licence and worst of all my car.

The door locks on the front 2 doors do not lock when the car key lock button is pressed. You have to manually lock those doors everything you get in and out. You also have to manually unlock them each time to open them.

Blinking lights on dashboard, notified Nissan, they stated they knew of recall, but didn't know how to resolve yet, engineers were working on the issue, they stated when it breaks down just bring it in. Car engine light blinks, all warning lights blink, car stops immediately while pulling into to drive way. Lights appeared 1 day ago, then drove ok. Started car this morning to go to work, 4 miles away pulled in and car started blinking all emergency lights, quickly called Nissan they were closed to due to holiday. Emergency lites are check engine light, Feb light, master warning light, aeb lights , malfunction indicator light (mil). Rab light, the start button contents blink when all theses lights are blinking. The fact that Nissan told me to wait till it breaks down, or they would call me to fix recall when they know how is irresponsible .

Was driving and out of no where all my engine lights turned on and got an engine light that turned on and says engine malfunction power reduced service.

Vehicle safety defect report I am submitting this vehicle safety defect report regarding a serious and dangerous failure in a 2021 Nissan Rogue. The vehicle experienced complete electronic shutdowns while driving on the highway. During the most severe incidents, on December 19, 2025 and again on January 14, 2026, the vehicle activated the automatic emergency braking system without external cause, shifted into park, and shut down completely, leaving the vehicle immobilized in live interstate traffic during heavy rain. The dashboard displayed multiple simultaneous warnings (engine, battery, collision sensors). A repair facility later diagnosed corrosion in the transmission control module (tcm). The module was not replaced, only cleaned, and the failure recurred. This defect presents an extreme risk of collision, serious injury, or death. A vehicle that shuts down and electronically locks while in motion is unsafe to operate. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate this electronic defect affecting critical safety and control systems. Videos, dashboard images, repair records, and documented evidence are attached. While driving on an interstate highway during heavy rain, my 2021 Nissan Rogue experienced a complete electronic shutdown. Multiple warning lights appeared simultaneously, the automatic emergency braking system activated without cause, and the vehicle suddenly shifted into park and shut off, leaving me immobilized in live traffic. This occurred on December 19, 2025, and the same failure happened again on January 14, 2026. The vehicle could not be moved and required towing. A repair facility diagnosed corrosion in the transmission control module (tcm). The module was only cleaned, not replaced, and the failure recurred. This defect creates a severe risk of collision, serious injury, or death. I narrowly avoided being struck by a truck. I am no longer able to safely operate this vehicle.

Vehicle stalls repeatedly at highway speeds. Loss of motive power. Occurred five times in one trip. No alerts. It just says engine malfunction. Powering down.

Started the car and then the engine caught fire. Front of the car is completely charred and fire had to be put out by the fire department. Car is totaled now. This complaint has been raised with Nissan consumer affairs.

The vehicle, a 2022 Nissan Rogue with the 1. 5l vc-turbo engine, suddenly entered severe limp mode: unable to exceed 35-40 mph on flat roads, barely 10 mph on hills, with high rpm and noise. The malfunction indicator light illuminated along with "engine malfunction service now" message and triangle warning light. These symptoms exactly match the early warning signs in safety recall 25v-437 for defective engine bearings that can cause progressive degradation, engine damage, or failure. The vehicle was towed to an authorized Nissan dealer, who performed the recall inspection (oil pan drop) but reportedly found no metal debris. The dealer then diagnosed separate issues—oil temperature sensor, coolant temperature sensor replacement, full oil pan replacement for minor seepage, and other warning lights—and quoted approximately $1,900 in customer-paid repairs, claiming they are unrelated to the recall or warranty despite the symptoms aligning precisely with the recall's description of bearing-related limp mode. This created a safety risk due to sudden loss of motive power while driving, increasing the potential for a crash. As a full-time cancer researcher and phd student who depends on this vehicle for daily lab commuting and time-sensitive experiments, the breakdown and repair dispute have caused major hardship: over a week without transportation, extensive time coordinating tows, appointments, and escalations with Nissan consumer affairs, and disruption to critical research. The dealer confirmed the limp mode and warnings, and inspected the vehicle under the recall procedure. Warning lamps/messages appeared suddenly prior to towing; no unusual noises noted earlier. The affected components (engine controls/sensors potentially stressed by the bearing defect) remain at the dealer for inspection. The recall should provide free ecm reprogramming, oil change, and gasket replacement even without debris, yet the dealer is charging for diagnostics and repairs from the same defect.

The most recent incident the emergency brake locked on and the dash flashed system malfunction , maintenance needed, , emergency braking system shut down and several indicators were shut down . This continued for 90 minutes while I was on the phone with Nissan and was waiting for the tow truck when arriving at Nissan 72 miles away , they were not able to find any codes and the car was fine no issues . Luckily I have video to back my story . I have pictures and videos of other times it has done this , but no one will look into why it keeps doing this and it’s done it several time over 2 1/2 years . They changed the stop /start button and it helped but now it’s starting to flash the emergency braking system is off again which is a build up to a major episode again. My Rogue has less than 40, 000 miles on it and has been one issue like this after another with them slapping band aides on it and not finding the source of the problem. They even claim it cleared the bearing failure test but the test was preformed while it was on route to Nissan on a tow truck .

I was looking at the fact that this car has 2 recalls for problems that I never bothered to check, but it's better to have everything in order. Everything is in order.

The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that after exiting the vehicle and walking away with the keys, the doors of the vehicle automatically locked as designed; however, the rear doors of the vehicle failed to unlock, preventing the contact's sister, who was occupying the rear seat, from exiting the vehicle. Additionally, the contact stated that upon returning to the vehicle, the contact became aware of the issue, and the contact also noticed that the front driver's side door failed to unlock as intended. The contact stated that the failure required the contact to enter the vehicle through the front passenger's side door to get the groceries out of the way for her sister to exit the vehicle through the front passenger's side door. The contact had briefly lost the keys and was able to unlock the doors after finding the keys. The contact stated that the rear doors' failure to unlock did not occur due to the child-lock system. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle failed to start on another occasion. A mobile technician from a service contractor was able to jumpstart the vehicle. The technician also recommended that the battery be replaced. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

The doors unlock or lock on their own. Some locks then don’t lock or unlock. Sometimes they have to be unlocked manually. The trunk does not unlock at all. I can’t open the trunk.

Once a year my car won't start, I get it towed to a dealership and they always say nothing is wrong but recommend getting a new battery even though the battery is not failing. So every year they try to get me to buy a new battery and warranty won't cover my battery because its not failing. I've had them run other test like parasitic draw and they say they find nothing. Every year I deal with this issue and have to deal with getting my car towed and usable for a couple days then magically starts working.

The contact owns a 2018 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that upon taking the vehicle for the state inspection, the contact was informed that two unknown sensors had failed. An independent mechanic reset the unknown sensor codes and advised the contact to return after 100 miles. The contact followed the instructions and returned to the state inspection; however, the contact was informed that the failures persisted, and the vehicle failed inspection. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 76,000.

My car caught fire, and it fits the description of the recall from other 2017 Rogues but wasn't not listed on the recall list. They are fixing the body harness, and it was an electrical fire.
