BACK OVER PREVENTION,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

38 months

Government / agencyIndexed Oct 9, 2026Source-linkedVerify source — NHTSA complaint #11538735

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.

I was driving at around 20 mph when the AEB warning light came on, a MALFUNCTION light came on, and the vehicle brakes locked up. I put the vehicle into neutral and shut it off. I then started it back up. The MALFUNCTION light was still on, the AEB warning light was still on. I was able to put it in drive and move it. I'm terrified if this happens again especially if I am on the highway when it happens. I took the vehicle to the dealer and they said they don't know why it happened and can't explain the warning lights.

My 2020 Nissan Rogue has 28,000 miles. It was purchased new in June 2021. I began hearing a knocking noise that seem to migrate around most areas of the car almost a year ago (early 2025). The Nissan dealership now tells me that all the bushings in the suspension/steering system are failing. When I looked online, and there are apparently thousands of this failure reported for the Nissan Rogue dating back to before 2018 models. This is widely reported a systemic problem with the Nisan Rogue. It involves serious safety issues. How can it not be subject to recall?

The 2020 Nissan rogue as I was driving, started smoking, then stalled. I immediately got out and popped the hood and there was flames everywhere. Entire engine bay burned. I saved the car from burning completely by dumping water. As I was in a national forest, that is very acceptable to wildfires. Fire department and fire investigator came out. Fire investigator said it was of his opinion that it started on the passenger side, electric cooling fan for the radiator. Which I agree after looking at the aftermath and noticing where to fire was coming from as I was putting it out.

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.

Malfunction light appears. Car slows and full pressure on gas pedal causes car to "bulk" (increase then decrease in speed with jerking feeling). Eventually check engine light appears. Have taken to dealership, but because no lights appeared while there they could not find any problem. Told to bring to them when light is on , however this happens most often when they are not open. Now (12/26/25) being told they are booked out for 3 weeks before they can even check it and if no warning lights on, they can not diagnose problems. This problem is intermittent and started more than one year ago with at least 4 trips to dealership.1

While backing out of the driveway or driving forward, the automatic brake engages without warning and without cause. Because of this, I was practically rear ended when driving forward. When backing out of the driveway, the suddenness and the shock of the incident was particularly alarming to my wife who was a passenger in the car , who has a history of having suffered 2 heart attacks. On the first report of the incident, the dealership replaced the sensors on the car. I recently took the car back to the dealership and they are saying they can't reproduce the problem. The warnings, a beeping noise, come at the same time as the engine shuts off.

Government / agencyIndexed Oct 9, 2026Source-linkedVerify source — NHTSA complaint #11636090

The heater and thus defroster no longer work, only cold air comes out. A Nissan service center diagnosed the issue as a stripped out part of the blend door actuator. The whole heater box would need to be replaced to resolve the issue. In winter driving, the lack of defroster impairs visibility and turns off the automatic forward braking system. The fault light for the forward braking system comes on when there is windshield frost/fog. The first signs of this issue appeared as intermittent failures of the heater failing to turn on, but resolved on the next drive. Eventually, the heater/defroster permanently failed. From searching the internet, this blend door actuator issue appears to be prevalent among other Rogues.

Driver Seat moves forward when brakes are applied - yes the seat and vehicle can be available anytime for inspection. When ever the brakes are applied the driver seat moves towards the steering wheel and windshield. I am concerned the seat will fail altogether and slam me into the windshield and steering wheel. It is not locked into place or something else is failing. Jeff Wyler Dealership in Fairfield Ohio provide an estimate of $2400 to replace the railings. I see this issue is occurring with other 2020 Rogues according to the internet. There is a recall for the 2021, 2022 and 2023 models for the issue. No lights or warnings on now or prior. We bought the vehcile used from a dealer in Nov 2025 and this occurred shortly thereafter. It is possible the dealer know about this issue and did not to fix or divulge to customer.

My front and back auto collision breaking sensor keeps going off as if something is in front of me. It’s not in the back as well. Also will indicate on my dash that there is a vehicle following me too far fast or too close and there will be nothing behind me. This is very scary when I first started happening. I looked it up online and a lot of vehicles are having problems with this as well as the break, actually stopping and not being able to release as a mother that travels with three children daily and take care of patients in my vehicle. This is very concerning. on the form it only allows you to give one pacific date but this is an ongoing issue. I would say on average. I see this sensor go on my dashboard at least 10 to 12 times a month. It eventually goes off, but I’m very fearful that I will be driving in the brake system will activate due to the faulty system sensors for the front and back.

I purchase the vehicle at 58,000 or so miles, used at a dealership. The next day I returned the vehicle because while driving out of town, the vehicle said: Warning, Warning -- This vehicle is not safe to drive. Some components may not operator correctly. Do Not Drive this vehicle. This happens when you're on the highway above 50 miles per hour. There was a smoke smell also inside the car and outside. Dealership said it was the breaks and kept the car 45 minutes to repair the breaks. They said this vehicle was never in an accident and past MD Inspection but the last page said, vehicle failed. They never explained why it failed inspection the first time. The dealership cannot fix it and ignores me mostly. they said its a sensor issue, a settings feature issue and to bring in the vehicle to reset the settings. the dealership said in so many unspoken words, its your problem. Ive had the vehicle about 2 weeks now.

Today when we attempted to back out of our driveway, the ABS came on unexpectedly and stopped the vehicle for no reason (spilling my hot coffee in my lap). I set the parking brake and got out of the car and walked around the back but there was no obstacle in the way or under the vehicle. I got back in, tried again and it locked up again. I then backed up the rest of the way, shifted to drive and drove it for a few minutes without incident. About 1/2 hour later, my wife experienced the exact same thing backing out of the driveway. Recently, the vehicle was struck in the rear corner (passenger side) and was repaired with no apparant issues by a professional body repair shop. I can see this is a common problem (many internet posts), and I want to report it since no recalls are in place. This is DANGEROUS and has also happed to drivers when driving at highway speeds. This MUST BE ADDRESSED or you guys (NTSB) have no purpose to exist anymore. Please make it happen.

The power assisted rear hatch on my Nissan Rogue on occasion will open to the fullest height then suddenly close again with out any warning. When the hatch comes down, there is no electrical power to re-operate this hatch and is very heavy, dead weight and traps you under the hatch, or smack me in the head depending on my body location at time of closing.. It is hard for me as an adult to re-open the powerless hatch, but it is very troublesome to think about what would happen to a small child if trapped under the hatch. I bought this car used and returned to the dealer on 06/26/23 to report this problem and to have it repaired. Needlessly, the problem still exist. This problem as happened over twenty times and there is no set pattern as to when it will happen. The dealer I purchased this car from is Tri-Cities Nissan 2526 Bristol Hwy Johnson City, TN 37601 (423-952-1953) I am reporting this problem because it is a major safety concern for a small child or weakened senior citizen.

Vehicle Information: 2020 Nissan Rogue Component: Structure/Doors Latch/Lock/Linkage Description of Incident: I am writing to report a serious safety defect regarding the front door lock actuators on my 2020 Nissan Rogue. Without warning, the front door lock actuator(s) completely failed, rendering the electronic locking and unlocking mechanism useless.This is a critical safety hazard. When the actuator fails, the door can become jammed and I cannot lock my front doors. In an emergency situation or a motor vehicle accident, first responders would not be able to open the doors from the outside, and occupants would be trapped inside due to this component failure. In safety situations I am unable to use the fob to unlock/lock the doors nor the buttons inside the car to lock/unlock. This is a well-documented and widespread issue with the 2014–2020 Nissan Rogue generation. Nissan is aware of this defect but has not issued a recall. I am requesting that the NHTSA launch an official safety investigation into Nissan's door latch and actuator assemblies before this defect results in a severe injury or fatal entrapment.

The ignition switch (push start button) stopped working. At the time, the key fob batteries were new. The key fobs were still working - the lock/unlock worked, the trunk release worked, and the remote start even worked. The 'trick' of holding the tip of the key fob to the start button did not start the car. This is a safety hazard because my car will not start. Luckily I was at home, but I could have been stranded somewhere. My car is currently at a Nissan dealership. I was hoping that the computer codes just needed to be reset. However, they are telling me the Body Control Module needs to be replaced. I would like the BCM investigated by the NHTSA. Previous years of the Nissan Rogue have had BCM issues. My particular car has not been in any circumstance that would make the BCM go bad - it's only four years old and has not been exposed to flood or extreme heat/cold. The 'key battery low' light came on the dash a couple weeks prior. I had just replaced the key fob battery in both fobs the day before the start button issue. The car is currently at: Cochran Nissan South Hills 3200 W. Liberty Ave. Pittsburgh, PA 15216 412-245-4540 I have not yet authorized repairs.

Forward emergency braking system, applied hard breaks at 40MPH, bring us to an abrupt reduction in speed to 15MPH. This happened driving over a rail road track that is embedded in the tar, no traffic in front for 1/4 mile, 9AM full sunlight. I also notice the forward emergency braking warning light comes on erratically flashing for different periods of time, this has been on the highway and city roads, it happens with no vehicles or any obstruction in front or side of my vehicle, it happens on overcast day or full sun. A second incident occurred while I was driving at 50MPH on a 3 lane highway. I was in the middle lane and a tractor trailer was passing on my right side, when the cab was just past my headlights, my Nissan Rogue hit the breaks hard enough that it lurched us unsuspectingly forward, this happened while I had my foot on the acceleration peddle. Lastly I have noticed while using the cruise control and the vehicle is going downhill, easing the accelerator ever so slightly that the forward emergency breaking warning light will illuminate, but not every time. I would note I live in Florida and when I said downhill, I only mean a slight decline, we are at sea level, flat Land.

Our 2020 Nissan Rouge SV has experienced a failure of the driver door electric door actuator. It will not lock using the electric door lock buttons inside the car, the button on the exterior door handle, or using the FOB. The result is that you think the car is locked, but the driver door is NOT locked and opening the door causes the car alarm to go off (the car thinks it is locked). The lock can be manually locked and unlocked using the manual actuator (inside the car on the handle). This problem is described on the internet and there is at least one class action lawsuit in discussion (https://sauderschelkopf.com/automotive/nissan-altima-and-rogue-door-lock-failure-class-action-investigation/). This failure could result in safety issues (thinking the door is locked when it is not) both while driving at highway speeds or during an emergency exit scenario where you cannot unlock the door. I think it should be a mandatory recall to fix these door locks by Nissan. In the meantime, I will try to "fix" it in our car (but will save the bad parts). I have not contacted my dealer (don't really like them). There were no warnings other than we started setting off the car alarm when we opened the door that should have been locked.

Driving down Ohio pike after a short stop, car felt like it was driving in a low gear or not shifting and the manual option was not engaged. Traveling approximately 35-45 MPH for about a mile or so when all of a sudden the steering wheel jerked to the left and car decelerated into oncoming traffic turn lane. Thankfully no one was in turn lane. I put car in park, collected my thoughts, daughter reached over and put hazards on. There were no warning lights on the dashboard and the weather was cloudy but dry conditions. I was able to drive the car to a parking lot across the two lanes, turn the car off, restar it drive it around the parking lot and then attempt to drive it to Nissan dealership 3 miles away. The car still seemed to not drive like it was in the correct gear so pulled off into a restaurant parking lot and eventually was towed to closest Nissan. It has been one week, I still do not have my car back because dealership will not release it back to me for safety reasons. The dealership indicated they are working with Nissan. I was given a loaner car to get home in another state. This is is a lease car that I am paying for and not able to use and now I am scared to drive. As of now dealership told me a wire came loose from the computer.

On Thursday, XXX at 14:44 pm while driving on route 202 in [XXX], the car made a loud popping sound from under the hood, followed by other metallic sounds, then all dashboard warning indicator lights flashed & the accelerator stoped working. As the car was being steered to the shoulder, a huge plume of black smoke rose from under the hood followed by a roaring fire from under the hood. As per our written correspondence to USAA, Our insurance company is conducting a forensic cause/analysis. We have no definitive causation determination as of this writing. The car is available for inspection at the police private towing facility. The police & fire department closed route 202 to battle the car fire. No dealer has examined the car remains, to our knowledge, as of yet. The warning lights appeared almost simultaneously as the loud popping sound and other under hood metallic sounds. The insurance company said they will conduct a forensic source /cause analysis investigation. We will report this car fire next to Nissan consumer safety and both organizations can coordinate investigations, as far as we anticipate. Not applicable regarding reproducing the massive car car.

My 2020 Nissan Rogue I only had about 3 days and I was driving turning out of a church parking lot and it cut off on me. I tried to crank it and it would not crank. The check engine light was also on. Had to have it towed. The second 2020 Nissan Rogue I got from the same dealership, I have been having issues with the feb/aeb light coming since September. No one, no animals, no fog, no rain, no other cars are near me when this light kept coming on, that I have video of. Had it looked at at two different Nissan dealerships one found past codes in Oct and the other on 11/3 said everything was perfectly fine nothing was wrong. On 11/4 I was driving about 35-40 miles per hour on a city street and my car just braked on me out of no where. And a red/orange light with a car in the middle with a sound wave type symbol blinked on the dashboard and when off before I knew it. It was terrifying and thankfully no one was hurt because our heads flew forward and this could have caused an accident. No cars were in front of me during this time, but there were some behind me that could have hit me and caused a major accident. The dealerships are aware and so is Nissan consumer affairs, but I am still being told it is okay to drive this unsafe vehicle because there are no codes that the computer can find.

Over the past 6 months was when the following electrical issues began. I was traveling around 25 mph when my Foward Collison Warning signaled and led to the Automatic Braking Emergency engaging. There was no other vehicle or object around. I was in the countryside. The weather was clear. If this were to happen under different circumstances on a busy highway it would have caused an accident, most likely fatalities. The other drivers would have had no warning because the vehicle does brake hard even stop abruptly depending on speed. The vehicle locked up and I didn't have control over my vehicle anymore. Also more then once the Forward Collison Light came on when it was raining and/or dense fog. The brakes did not engage and the alarm did not sound but the warning still showed on the dash. It eventually stopped showing on my dash as I drove, but I did pull over and wipe the sensor area. Another problem I'm encountering is the Parking Collison Warning. Sensors are detecting something and being activated when there is no object behind vehicle. I even got out of vehicle to make sure because I didn't see anything in my camera. When I made sure there was nothing obstructing my travel I preceeded and the sensor stopped beeping. I have checked the Nissan website and entered my VIN but unfortunately there were no recalls for these malfunctioning sensors.

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).”

This vehicle was purchased brand new on June 2020. First incident was in November 2020 I was driving at 55MPH on a highway and all of the sudden the emergency brake was turned on and my car came to a complete stop and the car started beeping letting me know of the possible collision. There was clearly nothing in front of me but thanks to this incident I came so close to causing a monstrous chain effect of an accident and could have been fatal if someone would have rear ended me given the speed everyone is traveling and my car suddenly stopping. I took my car to the dealership it was purchased from and they "did a software update" and replaced the Electric module of the car. Since that incident I am very fearful that it'll happen again. It's terrible that I'm driving a care I don't even feel safe in and still paying. Also there's this noise coming from the back axel's they sound like if there braking apart very loud and every time I back up they can even be heard and it turns heads and its terrible again I'm embarrassed of the loud noise of it and took it to the dealership all they can say is "cant hear and cant fix issue since its non-existent". Also the radio randomly will shut off and power on at any time then speakers start to sound like if someone dropped water inside of them! And again the dealerships response "no issue at the time of service" and there recommendation is to record it on my phone when it happens. Well I cant do that if I'm driving. This car is the definition of a lemon. Not happy of the purchase and wouldn't recommended this vehicle to anyone.

Hello: We bought the vehicle in 2021. After a few months, we noticed that the vehicle braked itself: meaning it auto-braked while driving at 25mph on the road. We took the vehicle to the dealer for repair. They said, "the vehicle was absolutely fine and perhaps something in the way of the vehicle triggered braking". I, the driver replied, I didn't have any vehicles either in front of or behind me. And besides, I understand the "safety features" and functionalities. Yet, they gave me the vehicle without repair. After a few months, same thing happened: the vehicle auto-braked or braked itself without me the driver putting my foot on the brakes. This time I also called the company's consumer affairs who said they'd help. The consumer affairs worked with the dealer. The dealer now said, "yes the vehicle indeed had auto-braking issues and it could be fixed, and that they'll fix it". So, I, now assured that the vehicle was a 100% fine when it came to auto-braking had been driving the vehicle until today April 16th, 2024, when while driving out on the city in 25mph the vehicle auto-braked again! I emailed the dealer and also called the company's consumer affairs (at their headquarters) to keep them in the loop today, and expect to hear back from them. In this instance, (3rd in 2-3 years), I'm not sure whether the dealer will brush aside the problem as "nothing" as in the first instance, or purport to "fix the issue" without actually fixing it, as in the second instance. At any rate, it came down to a "matter of principle": meaning since I'm not sure if the vehicle's intrinsic defect will be "resolved completely ever", I have to report it to "governing authorities". I hope you will take it from here and do the needful. Thank you in advance for your support.

Government / agencyIndexed Oct 8, 2026Source-linkedVerify source — NHTSA complaint #11403630

Driving down interstate on nice clear day with minimal traffic, cruise control set at 70MPH when suddenly the cruise disengages, warning light begins to appear on dash showing 2 cars colliding with audible alarm informing me that the front radar is obstructed. Cruise control will not work and any attempt to use cruise control is met with audible alarm and warning that front radar is obstructed. I stop, check all radar/sensors for debri... Everything is fine, no bugs, not debri, no obstruction. I restart engine, same warning appears before I even put transmission in drive. Start driving, same situation, front radar obstructed, cruise not available. After 10 miles or so the flasing light goes off, everything returns to normal, cruise control works properly. Car May experience this oroblem twice in hundred mile trip on perfectly clear day. Other times it May not happen at all on a 100 mile trip. When this does happen in heavy traffic the situation becomes dangerous quickly because the automated braking is disabled and if the radio is on it's easy to not realize the system is off until your speed is reduced significantly. I have had 2 close calls because of this - one with a car in front of me stopping abruptly and the system failed to maintain the selected gap between my vehicle and the vehicle in front of me so I had to veer onto the median to avoid a collision; the second time the cruise abruptly disengaged traffic behind me almost ran into me which caused vehicles behind me to have a close call. So far this problem has always happened on the highway or interstate, never in town. Sometimes when it is raining really hard the same warning light & audible alarm will sound, however cruise control remains operational as does the automatic braking. So it appears to work properly at times.

Three separate incidents have happened since leasing this car on Sunday evening on November 1, 2020. The first 2 happened shortly after I left the supermarket, I was pulling out of a parking spot & checked all my mirrors and windows prior to pulling out when I felt in gut that something wasn't right, I covered my brakes while slowly pulling out and asked my son to check out on the right side of the vehicle and there had been a child inches away from my car and I did not see nor was alerted by the vehicle. The second, incident happened when I returned home with the groceries and my children were exiting the vehicle with the groceries, my son then came back to check to see if I needed something else carried upstairs and I did not see my son as I began pulling off, my son children both yelled in voices of distress..mom! Stop!!! I said, what happened, he said you almost ran me over. Again, the vehicle failed to alert me that someone was in an area that I couldn't see. I couldn't live with myself if I caused bodily injury to my son that could potentially cause grave danger, loss of a limb or death. The third incident happened on Wednesday, November 4, 2020 at approximately 2:46PM, I had been driving cautiously as I do adhering to the speed limit, I noticed a bicyclist pedaling along his way, it seems as if we were heading towards the same direction so I proceeded to drive cautiously as I was approaching an intersection to make a left, I checked all three mirrors and even looked back didn't see him so I began to make a left as I was turning left I could see him in my peripheral vision approaching the Cross walk. I immediately stopped my vehicle giving him the right way and thanking God that I did not hit him. Again, my vehicle did not alert me that he was anywhere near my car meanwhile he was extremely close,

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

Government / agencyIndexed Oct 8, 2026Source-linkedVerify source — NHTSA complaint #11507834

In October of 2022, While I was driving my 2020 Rogue on a country road to a school event for my granddaughter, the car made a soft bell sound then it immediately slammed on the brakes for no reason that I can understand. I immediately pulled the car off the road. It showed a triangle with an exclamation point within it in the dash display. I shut the car off and when I restarted it the triangle was gone and it drove ok. I later read online that this could be an AEB issue. It was a clear day with no rain and no cars close in front and, luckily, behind me. It scared the hell out of my wife and I. I no longer feel safe in the car if it can do this for no reason! I brought the car into a Nissan Dealer to have it checked on 9/20/22. They did not find any problems with it. They also did not see any fault codes that something happened within the vehicle's memory. I find it unbelievable that the car did not record the fault. To me this means that Nissan has deliberately disabled this function for this fault. I have done a lot of research and apparently this is a well known issue with Nissan vehicles, not just the rogues. I have also read that there are 2 class action suits against Nissan for this. I brought the vehicle in again in Jan 2023 to get the car checked again for the False Activation of AEB, FEB, or FCW. This time I asked to have it checked per NTB18-041D and reprogrammed to the latest software and/or any required hardware to fix this well known issue. They said this NTB was not for my rogue and did not fix it. I have read that this is normal for this defect shown in the NTB. I am still afraid to drive this car and have only driven it about 400 miles since it was looked at. And now I only drive it with the AEB disabled as I was instructed by a tech in the service dept. I would really like to be able to use the AEB safety feature without fear of it falsely locking up the brakes while I'm driving. This Rogue only has 6835 miles on it.

I am writing what I think is a safety issue on a 2020 Nissan Rogue S. Left my house to go to a local store. When I park, I normally press the internal lock button and not the lock button on fob. I exited the vehicle and closed the door. Came back to vehicle, for some reason I just grabbed the door, not using the key fob, nor the ignition key to enter, and the driver side door opened. I questioned myself what just happened. I did not think much of it. Well I made another stop. I parked, pressed internal button, exited and closed door. I came back and pull driver side door handle and the door was unlocked again. So while parked I tried to diagnosis why the door was unlocked again. I used the internal lock button first, all but the driver side door lock, I used the lock button on the key fob, same thing. tried the ignition key, it would lock and unlock. So when I got home I tried to get it to work again, but to no avail. I tried looking in the vehicle setting, watch you tube videos etc. I even disconnected and reconnected the battery. Nothing worked, Got online and saw a lot of people were having the issue due to door lock actuator failing on Rogues. So I called my nearest Nissan dealership and told them my problem. They could get me in on July 17, 2025 at 8:00 a.m. and it would take several hours to diagnosis. The diagnosis was the actuator failed but power was going to it. To fix it it will cost $905. This is why I am writing you. I think it is a safety issue that needs to be address. If people don't know the vehicle is unlocked there could be some of type of thief or a person could be in your car when you returned. If the door was in the locked position while in the vehicle and you need to get out in an emergency you have to exit another door, which you might not have enough time to do so. If you are trying to enter the vehicle for an emergency and the door stays locked that a safety issue. This is a safety issue and should be recalled. Thank you for your time.

SEATS

55 months

Government / agencyIndexed Oct 8, 2026Source-linkedVerify source — NHTSA complaint #11646535

The drivers seat failed (Mechanic's words) From the report, "Seat rivets loose can not tighten. will need to replace seat frame." This puts my safety at risk because in an accident, the seat could come off, causing me to go through the windshield, crush injuries, the seat collapsing and being thrown backwards into back seat passengers in the event of getting rear ended. If the seat that I am seat belted in to detaches from the frame, none of the other safety features will matter. Airbags will be useless as will the seatbelt. When I had my oil changed on January 25, 2025, I asked them to check the drivers seat because it was moving slightly. I noticed the movement the week before. I assumed a bolt may be loose for some reason and needed to be tightened. I was shocked when they told me the seat frame failed and could not be fixed. I needed a new seat frame. I had another mechanic tell me to call Nissan because it had to be a manufacturer defect. It was not caused by wear and tear and is not normal. In researching this online, I found other people that have Nissan Rogues that have also had a problem with the driver's seat being loose and/or moving a bit. I did not report this to my insurance because I don't think I should have to pay for it. My car is less than 5 years old and only has around 42,000 miles on it. I contacted Nissan. After they investigated, they offered to pay 70% of the replacement cost. At first, I agreed but after rethinking it, I don't think I should have to pay over $400 to fix a problem that I didn't cause. There was no warning light. This is what I found online~No, a failing front seat frame in a newer Nissan Rogue is not considered normal and could indicate a serious safety issue, as Nissan has issued recalls for certain Rogue models due to potential problems with seat frame welding, which could affect occupant safety in a crash; if you suspect your Rogue's front seat frame is failing, you should immediately contact your Nissan dealer to chec
