| Jan 2022 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | The vehicle keeps throwing a warning on the dash that states "Engine Malfunction Power reduced Service now" and the performance of the vehicle becomes severely limited.

| Dec 2021 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I contacted local Nissan Greenacres locate at, 5353 Lake Worth Rd Greenacres, FL 33463 (561) 899-4413 Refuge to do the service by saying they’re busy and short handed.even though I schedule for the schedule ahead on line and received confirmation. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2021 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | I got a brand new 2021 Nissan rogue. My window exploded outward. I just got to work oneday. I'm the only person in the parking lot. I'm sitting in my driver and 15 minutes later boom. On the Nissan forum site there are several more 2021 rogue rear windows blows up. I borrowed the money to pay to get it fixed for $500. The dealership wanted to keep the car for days to do and investigation to see why it cracked. They would not offer me a loaner car need to drive to work. The warranty would have paid for window but no loaner car to drive so I had to pay out of pocket so I could get back to work. Nissan corporate will not reimburse me for the money for the window and my trunks carpet that still needs to be detailed because of small glass I can't remove from the carpet. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2021 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | Came home and sunroof was fine, no incidents on road, no debris. Went to leave home approximately an hour later and sunroof was shattered. Confirmed on camera normal on arrival home then shattered, unable to visualize when actual break occurred but no other activity noted on camera during said time frame. Vehicle had not moved or been touched by anything, was secure in garage. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2021 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | Sometimes when I start driving, I press the pedal and the car accelerates and stays stuck in 1st gear. I'll press the pedal more and it doesn't go faster. I have to push the the shift to D (drive) again and then the car starts driving normal | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2021 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | WHEN I TURN ON THE A-C, ONE VENT BLOWS HEAT AND THE OTHERS ARE BLOWING COLD AIR. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2021 | Chest Clip, Buckle, Harness | The straps in the car seat do not tighten evenly, leaving one shoulder looser. I have tried everything to try to get the straps to be even but they always end up uneven. Secondly, I have had the left strap come completely detached from the back of the car seat 3 times within the past week. This was done unprovoked ( baby was not in the seat). It is concerning that the straps can just come undone without being pulled or bothered. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2021 | STEERING,SUSPENSION,BACK OVER PREVENTION | Vehicle has had 2 wheel alignments in the first 2500 miles the car drifts pulls off the road the steering is loose vague no sense of contact with the road. Rear cross alert not function almost got hit by cars moving behind me. Not sure if other safety systems even work. The tires maybe defective too. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2021 | POWER TRAIN | The cheap plastic transmission drive selector broke off when I took delivery of the rental car. I was astonished to find that the thing just broke and pulled right out of its socket while I was attempting to back it up right out of the rental parking lot. I've driven cars since 1971 and I've never seen a drive selector just break off that easily before. That should just never happen. I never could get it into drive again without just turning the car off. I finally figured out how to get it into Reverse and Drive and Neutral, but that's it. There were no warning lamps and the indicator on the shift lever that's supposed to tell you it's in Park never lit up. Without it going into park, there is a real risk of the car rolling away. Turning the car off does put it into Park because it's an electronic transmission apparently. But I had to engage the parking brake when putting it into Neutral when I went to park. I'm just astonished Nissan would put something this fail prone on the road. The shift control should just never break whether it's a lever, or dial or pushbutton. I am now liable for a $400 repair job. I realize that this was just a cheap rental car, but I strongly feel that it shouldn't have happened. Wouldn't want anyone else to have this issue. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Sep 2021 | LANE DEPARTURE | On 7/23/21, I leased a 2021 Nissan Rogue SV AWD at Nissan of Streetsboro, Ohio. I leased the vehicle because I felt the newly designed Rogue looks good and drives smoothly. Unfortunately, during a recent long-distance trip from Ohio to Florida between 7/24 and 8/3 on interstate multi-lane highway I-77 and I-95 for a total of 2,500 miles, I uncovered a serious safety defect that is not possible to spot during the local test drive and it prompted me to make this report. The near accident-causing problem occurred on three occasions when the cruise control and intelligent lane intervention (I-LI) were enabled simultaneously at high speed (60~70mph). The incident occurred when I passed a big truck on the lane next to me, andthe entire Rogue got pulled towards that truck! What had happened was that the intelligent lane intervention system (I-LI) is designed to keep the vehicle in lane automatically. But when the truck next lane made a mistake and crossed line into my lane, I had to pull away from it, but then the intelligent lane intervention (I-LI) system failed to recognize the danger and forced my vehicle back in lane while the truck was still there, allowing my vehicle onto a collision course at high speed. I had since made the report to Nissan Consumer Affair. And the Nissan dealer sent the tech person out to drive along side of me, and he fully agreed that it is a dangerous problem. However, to my utter surprise, the case manage at Nissan Consumer Affair closed the case simply because that's how the feature was designed and no damage had occurred to the vehicle. I felt obligated and determined not to let this dangerous defect cause anyone's life. So, I contacted Nissan America corporate office on 8/31. They only had someone call me back to acknowledge receipt of my letter. No actions had been taken since. I am still driving this unsafe leased vehicle, and the lease is for 3 years. I think it's illegal to lease an unsafe vehicle to a customer. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2021 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE | The contact owns a 2021 Nissan Rouge. The contact stated that while driving 62 MPH, the vehicle lost power as speed was reduced inadvertently. The contact stated engine warning light illuminated displaying "malfunction power reduced service now". The dealer was contacted and advised to turn the vehicle off and to restart it. The contact did as was informed by the dealer as the vehicle resumed normal operation. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and stated the battery lost charge. The vehicle was at the dealer overnight to have the battery recharged. The issue was corrected however, the failure recurred several times. The vehicle was currently at the dealer for diagnosis and repairs. The manufacturer was made aware and a case was opened. The contact stated that the manufacturer contacted the dealer and was informed that the failure could not be diagnosed. The failure mileage was approximately 1,600. | Crash: No Fire: No | 1,600 |
| Sep 2021 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | When cornering the car losses strength and takes a few seconds to continue driving normally. The problem is intermittent.

| Sep 2021 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Exiting a parking lot 6:45 pm 9/16/21, after braking and shifting gears from reverse to drive, the vehicle took off at top speed without my depressing the gas pedal. I negotiated a right turn with great difficulty because of high speed and pulled off to the side of the next block, braked hard, stopped, and turned off the engine. Each time I tried to restart the engine it roared into high speed (speedometer flew instantly to 140 mph) and the vehicle lurched forward without my touching the gas pedal. I repeated attempts at normal start several times; each time the roar and lurch recurred. I turned off everything and called a friend to pick me up. By the time she arrived about ten minutes later, I heard a loud pop/click in my otherwise totally silent vehicle and looked down to see the gas pedal rising up from the floor. I was then able to start it normally and drive a few blocks home to my garage. Today I have contacted a large dealership (not the smaller one where I bought this new vehicle off the showroom floor 6 months ago) to see if incidents similar to this incident had occurred with their customers. The receptionist canvassed 4 service techs who had heard of no such thing. (The last time this happened to my knowledge was with Lexus and Camry in 2007, when 5 people died in high speed highway crashes in California and the gas pedal assemblies were recalled. Toyota attributed the gas pedal malfunction to floor mats at the time. Congressional hearings were held.) The floor mats in my vehicle are rubber trays molded to the shape of the individual interior. They cannot move or impede the gas pedal in any way. My vehicle has been serviced by the dealership on schedule since purchase March 10, and the monthly vehicle report--testing conducted remotely--I receive by email finds nothing wrong with any component. However, the highly advertised safety and convenience features of this 2021 vehicle expired on September 10 and are now available only by paid subscription | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Aug 2021 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | First problem occurred on Sunday, August 15, 2021 (Mileage: 4,514) when the dashboard displayed: "Engine Malfunction, Power Reduced, Service Now" Warning light came on. The same day, I left a VM with Service Manager at CONICELLI dealership (as well sent pic and video of another repeat problem w/the front passenger window) who called me back the next morning stating if the WARNING message is off its okay to drive it to dealership in which I did on 8/16/2021 (by the way, when arriving the warning did not display, but again I had taken picture) After having my vehicle for a little over any hour I was told they had to call NISSAN about the problem and they were instructed to replace a sensor, the gear shift, and battery (since I had been having problems with starting the vehicle, it takes 2-3 "PUSH START" before the vehicle turns on. Now because it will take about 3 weeks for all the parts to come in it okay for me to drive the vehicle since the warning light went off. I said that I DID NOT feel safe driving the vehicle and want to be placed in a rental until they can complete the repairs. The Service Manager (Mark) said again since the light was off its okay, I just need to be concern if the comes back on begin flashing. I did not think it should be driven until the repairs was done because it is an unsafe condition for me and everyone else on the road. But I took the vehicle. The next morning the light came back on and stayed (Mileage: 4,594) on for the enter 45 minute drive and it did not drive well (it was sluggish). I called and complained to NISSAN HQ and Service Manager, Mark at CONICELLI. They only want to repair the sensor and battery because they have those parts and call me when the gear shift comes in and I return to get that fix. I was like that's unacceptable, I don't want a partial fix I want the problem fully fixed and I want a rental while YOU wait all the parts. He wants me in rental but none available, YET I reserved a rental after R call. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2021 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | This alerted while driving. Washed the car 4 times to make sure there was no dust interference. Two weeks and the system is still not working.

Cruise controll doesn't work with systems. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
