On [XXX], my grandson and I went to the Nissan Dealership, 1777 N. Central Expressway, Richardson, TX 7080 to inquire about a safety recall of the key fob for a 2017 Nissan Rogue. My grandson was told that he could make an appointment for the dealership to insert a block in the fob so the key remains in the extended position. That position is very difficult to carry in a men's pants pocket. It is also a cheap remedy to the problem. As we were driving along the freeway to make a U-turn, the car stopped mid-turn, with oncoming traffic both behind him and in front. He tried to restart the car but it didn't start. He tried again and it finally started. I cannot believe the federal safety agency would allow Nissan to treat this safety issue so callously just to save a few dollars. I am now constantly worried for my grandson and regret helping him buy this vehicle to attend college. We purchased the vehicle on [XXX] so we were checking things out. The dealership did not tell us anything was wrong, we read about the recall in a Carfax. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

What owners say
Key wouldn't start the car. It was in lock mode. Had to get it repaired. I had issues with the stario before where it went blank and nonsound will come out. Got it fixed, how, there are times where it comes and goes.
issue started with crank no start, internal lights flashing, then power steering and check engine light came on. after a few more tries starting vehicle, driver side window stops functioning, all internal lights are flashing when any button is pressed, and key fob stops connecting to the vehicle.
The car even after reprogramming ICC/ ADAS radar is still having similar problems over again. The car when driving on an open road suddenly stops and stalls with a malfunction sign and a crash signal in the middle of highway. The car then does not starts and the above message prevents the RPM from increasing. It drives at idle speed with no acceleration. The car fixes back itself some times and restarts driving fine and after few miles, again in the middle of road, same incident happened when it stalled again and same malfunction message appeared. There is an open investigation by NHSTA currently about this incident as reported in majority of 2017 Nissan Rogue. It is a huge safety concern with increased risk of injury or death to self, passengers, and others. Nissan is not taking accountability for this.
The vehicle initially would not start on 1/17/18 while parked. I called nissan roadside and they sent a tow truck a few hours later. Vehicle was unable to be jumped. Towed to the dealership. They could not duplicate the issue. I got the vehicle back several days later and the problem occurred again. I was at work so I waited on calling for a tow and when I went back out it turned over. In march, I had the same problem and the vehicle was again stationary and could not be jumped so it was towed. The dealer told me they could not find an issue so I took the car back. On 8/18/18 I was on the interstate when I felt the car seem to lose power and heard a whining or whistling noise which I initially thought was a window slightly open. I got off the interstate and parked in the closest area I could. The vehicle would not start and I again called nissan roadside. The dealer had the vehicle for 2-3 weeks and again returned it telling me it was ok. On 9/11/18 I went to get lunch and the vehicle stopped working in a parking lot. I took video on 9/11/18 of the problem and again had to be towed and find a ride home (1 hour from home). Now I am told the dealer added some "harness" and it should work fine so I should come pick it up. This vehicle is clearly dangerous. I was driving so I was able to handle it but if my wife or somebody else was driving I really don't know what would have happened. I have further repair orders not included in the attached documents.
This car was purchased on 8-30-18, and on 9-4-18, the car would not start. I had to get a jump and then leave it on the charger for hours before the car would start. The car clicker did not work and the trunk lifter feature would not work. When the car did start it gave a malfunction notice in the dashboard. Also, the car makes a noise when driving on the highway. The car was taken back to the dealer but they would not allow me to return the car as I did not feel safe or comfortable with the car due to these concerns. They attempted to resolve the matter by changing the battery in the car clicker. But the matter is not resolved and they are unwilling to service me as I only had the car for less than a week before these problems began since the car has in my possession. They would not allow me to return the car. Therefore, I had to take the car back with me. It has been parked ever since. I do not feel comfortable at all to drive this vehicle as I drive a lot and need a car that is dependable, safe, and reliable.
My car wouldn't start it would turn off as I'm sitting at a light, all my lights would blink on and off it was making a clicking sound then it finally turned on and my tire pressure light came on and a triangle with an explanation came on. I received a recall notice on my car, so I took it in and they told me it was the transmission and had to fix it they had my car for a whole week. I received my car back and about 2 months later my car continued to have the exact same problem. They fixed nothing!!!! My cars in the shop right now as we speak because of the same problem.
