Driver side door look slips and does not lock fully creating a life and safety issue for our families Rogue. This problem was addressed by Nissan in 2015 only, (vehicles manufactured June 5, 2015, to June 13, 2015. In the affected vehicles, the driver side front and rear doors may not fully latch. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 206, Door Locks and Door Retention Components."") but this is still an issue and I am having the same problem in my 2019 Rogue. Not sure why Nissan is not willing to fix the problem in additional Rogue years since this is still a life and death issue for the safety of the drivers.

AES went off when nothing was around multiple times and has caused my car to lock up the steering wheel, breaks, gas and gear shift causing me to not have any control of my car as the car took over. Due to the automatic brake system went off it cost me to have an accident and ruin my car. Nissan said that they fixed this issue but I have had multiple incidents in the past I have had it break in the middle of oncoming traffic thank God there was no one around there was no accident then. And then it happenee in May of this year and the AES broke my brake system when there was no reason for the AES to come on. July I had gotten into a crash due to the AES again and the Airbag didn't deploy when in a crash.

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.

I was driving and all of a sudden my 2019 Nissan Rogue jerked forward and slowed down in mid traffic. The dashboard lit up with warnings and the vehicle began to idle up over 2 RPM's. Luckily there wasn't much traffic coming, otherwise I would have been in an automobile accident. It really scared me when that happened. I had to pull over and get myself together before pulling back out in traffic to get home.

Automatic Emergency Braking system error codes keep randomly coming on and the vehicle brakes on its own while driving. I’ve already had the sensor replaced previously.

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. *do not recall the official first date i noticed that but if needed i can ask the dealer so below date is an estimate

Apr 17, 2024Fuel system

The door latch for the fuel does not open when pushing the button for the fuel, I have been stalled on multiple occasions stuck sitting waiting for the latch to finally open. The last time I pulled into a dealership in Conroe Texas they said the solenoid valve was broken and I would have to pop off something on the inside to access the lid to get it to open. I bought this SUV [XXX] and have had issues for at least the last 6 months and told different things - this latest is to google or you tube the issue. I myself feel like it is a safety hazard never knowing when the door will open INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The driver's side door does not open consistently. It started happening around November 2023. It seems to be at random times. Sometimes the door will not open when I need to get in and other times when I need to get out. It will not unlock with the key fob or by unlocking it from the inside manually. I have to climb across the passenger seat and use that door.

IN first or second year of ownership the car spontaneously braked on 2 occasions. Both times after going over road damage. - I had no damage and thought related to rd condition, did not report. About 2 weeks ago Chassis warning came on momentarily then malfunction error came on but went off for rest of day. Next day Malfunction Error for AEB system came on again AND HAS REMAINED ON. I had trusted independent auto body shop computer person run scanner evaluation. some 30 items lit up but 2 didnt clear suggesting possible wire harness. On line many customers noted difficulty finding the right dealer or repair shop the first time , often going to several before problem corrected, Nissan says all dealerships are independent and wont recommend one. Consumers talk about possible recall pending for 2017,18,19 Rogue. mine is 2019. I want to go to most expert for this concern -should it be a collision expert or general dealer repair for this safety concern. Thank you

While driving in a parking structure, at around 15-20 MPH, the automatic emergency braking went on and brought the vehicle to an unsafe stop. Luckily no one was right behind the vehicle. The automatic emergency brake light came on at the same time. This is a safety hazzard in that the system can just engage without cause. In the parking structure, there is a chance of being reaer-ended and hurt. If this happened on a highway or at a faster speed, injury or death could occur. I have seen online that there have been concerns about this happening in this model Rogue. i will be communicating with the Nissan company also.

The rear differential (carrier assembly) basically exploded through the housing. This happened at a very low speed but not sure what would have happened if it were at highway speeds.

The heating/cooling do not operate correctly on the driver side or rear passenger vents. Proper temperature comes from the passenger side vents. Local mechanic attempted swapping the blend door actuator and then it failed again. My mechanic then said that I would need to replace the entire Heater / AC Unit Assembly. After searching online, there are multiple forums dedicated to this same issue, specifically for VINs that start with KN. This is a safety issue because the defroster does not work on the driver side, it blows whatever the ambient air temperature is, so in the winter when the windows fog up the drivers view is impaired. There are no warning lamps message or other symptoms.

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. I came here to report the issue and saw the recall already in effect. Thank you for all you do. You can add this to your list of incidents if you wish. We now know to bring the key in for a fix.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2019 Nissan Rogue Select verdict →
