Electrical system: ignition: anti-theft: immobilizer/proximity: key/sender
- What is wrong
- Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2014-2020 Rogue and 2017-2022 Rogue Sport vehicles equipped with a jackknife style ignition key. The jackknife key may collapse into a folded position while driving.
- Risk
- Driver contact with a key in the collapsed position could inadvertently shut off the vehicle while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, if the vehicle shuts off while driving, the air bags may not deploy in a crash as intended, increasing the risk of injury.
- Remedy
- Dealers will insert a spacer into the key slot of the jackknife key, free of charge. Interim notification letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed March 29, 2023. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed August 30, 2023. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 1‑800‑867‑7669. Nissan's number for this recall is R22C5.

What 2019 Nissan Rogue Sport owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The contact owns a 2019 Nissan Rogue Sport. While driving the vehicle at an undisclosed speed, the air conditioning system intermittently ceased to blow cool air. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed and determined that the cooling fan assembly needed to be replaced. The repair was not yet performed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 35,550.
The check engine light, thermostat, or sensor affliated with the engine overheating. An engine overheating without warning lights or a dashboard indicator leaves you entirely blind to critical, fast-moving mechanical failures.Without an indicator, you cannot pull over before extreme heat causes severe metal distortion. Yes, the vehicle has been inspected by service department. Three times it has been brought into for.same issue I was sent home with vehicle with the belief it was safe to drive There was no warning lights or sensors or messages prior to the failure.
Throwing code P0841. RPM’s bouncing, slow to accelerate, enters limp mode. Dangerous when on the road as the car is not properly accelerating with the flow of traffic and could potentially stall out in the middle of the road. Will need either the valve body replaced or an entire transmission replacement. After a lot of research, this is an EXTREMELY common problem with this CVT transmission and I feel it should actually be addressed by Nissan instead of customers continually having to shell out thousands of dollars in repairs of a transmission they know fails. This car doesn’t even have 100K miles on it.
On April 2, 2026, I was operating my 2019 Nissan Rogue Sport (Mileage: 45,905) at approximately 30 mph when a sudden surge occurred in the engine compartment. Despite depressing the accelerator, the vehicle lost all forward propulsion. I managed to coast through my development and into my garage. Upon arrival, all dashboard warning lights illuminated simultaneously, at which point I immediately deactivated the engine. After exiting the vehicle, I observed a total loss of transmission fluid onto the garage floor. The vehicle was towed to Naples Nissan, where technicians confirmed a catastrophic CVT failure. Prior to this event, the vehicle exhibited no symptoms of mechanical distress—specifically, no "Check Engine" lights, CVT-specific warnings, shuddering, or hesitation—indicating the transmission was functioning properly until the point of total failure.
Radiator fan leading to engine overheating, fan fails to turn on causing high engine temperatures & AC failure. Nissan is aware of issues & takes no responsibility. Early on when vehicle experienced symptoms & under warranty, I brought vehicle in several times & was told they couldn’t find anything wrong. Since warranty has expired, we’ve had to fix once & now it’s happening again. Some symptoms: loud rattling in engine bay, AC blows hot air while idling & low speeds, engine overheating & stalling.
In October of 2025 my car stalled in slow traffic after a 100 mile car ride. After 20 minutes, it started again. The engine code was P0507. Two weeks later, without warning as I was accelerating on the highway the car stopped in the middle lane. This was incredibly dangerous. I had to wait 30 minutes in busy am traffic for a police escort. And the event was costly as I had to pay $200 to be towed off the highway. Once the car arrived at the service center, it started again. The mechanic convinced me to replace the purge solenoid as a starting place to address the problem. The car ran normally from November to March. In March 2026, after almost two hours in stop and go traffic, the car engine stalled out again. We pushed the car to the side of the road and waited 20 minutes. The engine started again. The coolant was below minimum and the computer code was P1217, engine overheat. My mechanic found a faulty cooling fan and replaced it on 3/17/26. This experience of the engine suddenly stopping while the car is moving with no warning or lights on the dash until the stallout has been extremely dangerous and costly. I believe Nissan knows of the cooling fan issue given online forums. Not recalling this faulty part has put me and my children in danger. In Summer 2024, the air conditioner of this car stopped working in traffic. It would blow hot air. The dealership could not replicate the issue and instead charged the air conditioner costing me a lot of money. The air conditioning problem has been intermittent since. I believe this is connected to the defective cooling fan and the Nissan dealership did not do their due diligence to investigate the issue.
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.
Radiator cooling fan failed at 43,819 miles. Cost to repair was $554.95. Web search revealed that many others are experiencing this failure at ~40K miles on the Nissan Rogue Sport models. It seems like it should be a recall/reimbursement issue.
Started with loud squeaky sounds when going over bump, accelerating, stopping. Also, seems to move slightly when stopping. DRIVER SEAT FAILURE. Nissan Service Dept says the seat frame has failed and this is a safety issue.
