The backup camera picture/screen has randomly cut out while backing up putting myself and whatever is behind me at risk for collision. In the section where it asks for the date, it's happens randomly since I bought it. Whenever I've taken it to my mechanic they have not been able to reproduce it. The emergency braking system has activated with nothing around. It's in the dealers now. It was listed as a recall on a RI safety but not associated with my vin so the nissan dealer is saying that it's not covered under recall because it shows only the brake recall. the software update is costing me 169. He says that it should fix both problems.

The car has never been in an accident or flooded. Mechanics have been unable to computer diagnose the problem. Warning lights depend on what is happening at the time. However the rear camera light remains on as that feature ceased to function within days of the warranty expiring. Vehicle has begun to intermittently shake violently.Other times the RPM’s are highly erratic, revving up and slowing down or bouncing like crazy. Car sometimes looses power and acts like it is going to stall. Driving on the bridges in Charleston, especially the tallest, the car operates dangerously and unpredictably. The car cannot manage the incline without stuttering or stalling and loosing power. Again, this is not an all the time issue, but an unpredictable occurrence. The RPM gauge will hit 3-4 but the car cannot go over 20-40mph with RPM’s tacking & check engine light comes on. Stalls happen without warning and while operating at normal rates of speed. Meaning it is not a stop & start issue alone. It may happen at 70 mph on the freeway. You never know. On one occasion the push to start feature failed for hours leaving me stranded. The rear back up camera light is on and the feature no longer works. This is dangerous, not an occurrence that is exclusive to me - according to the dealership it is “A complete head scratcher. We keep seeing it. Hearing the same stories but Nissan is non-responsive to the volume of complaints on this issue.” They went on to explain that this will stress the engine and transmission and cause damage to other parts of the car. So they are aware but don’t care? That’s the translation. Moreover, Nissan is aware that this problem has a domino affect that becomes incredibly costly to their customers and that “you can fix one issue and more often than not, another occurs because of the preceding damage.” The transmission failures know to Nissan and known in the industry are life threatening.

The component is the backup camera. The backup camera engages, but the camera image freezes momentarily after engaging. The freeze happens for around 1-2 seconds. The camera then continues to work or then crashes completely and you have to move out of reverse and back into reverse to reengage the backup camera. This has happened since I owned the vehicle and after the other recall that addressed other backup camera issues. The car is available for inspection on request. This puts others at risk since the backup camera is a crucial part of visibility. If the camera freezes when backing up, people/cars can approach and I would likely not be able to see them. The component has non been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others. No warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem. The symptoms have been with the car since purchase and definitely after the other software fix nissan had for camera issues.

The backup camera blacked out when backing out of my driveway. I tried restarting the car and it didn't resolve the issue.

The backup camera periodically freezes when you put the vehicle in reverse. Other times, the screen will stay black or just show the Nissan logo until you cycle power. The safety of all inside the vehicle and around the vehicle is at risk when the backup camera feed freezes, especially if the operator doesn't realize the feed is frozen. This vehicle is currently operated outside of the US but will be available for inspection upon return. The issue is intermittent so it has not been reproduced in the presence of any service center. There were no warning messages involved.

Backup camera shuts off. Occasionally when backing up using the rear camera assistant (built into the infotainment screen) the system will shutoff and display the Bluetooth song which is playing. This is dangerous because, a) that camera is there for our safety, and b) its hard to see if anything has moved directly behind the car in the time it takes for the driver to transition from the backup screen to the mirrors.

The backup camera is freezing at random when I am backing up causing me to have to stop and put the vehicle in park and turn the vehicle off and back on to reset the backup camera to get it to unfreeze to get it to fully work again. Otherwise it remains frozen even when I put the vehicle in drive and drive to a new and leave the vehicle running and stop and backup the backup camera is still frozen not until I turn the vehicle off does the backup become unfrozen. This is a random happening, and does not happen all the time and I can not predict when it will occur the next time. This is a major safety issue that could cause me to hit a child that could randomly run out behind my vehicle without warning in a parking lot or when backing out of a driveway. This has happened about 25 times now since the recall of the recall was repaired on my 2018 nissan rouge sv before the recall and 1200 mile service was done ion my vehicle had no issues with my until I had all this work done. The issue with my backup happens in parking lots driveways it does not matter when I park it is a random occurrence that happens when I put the vehicle in reverse day or night. It just happens out of the blue. And scares me when it does and I have to be more alert to everything around me in my mirrors to make sure I do not hit anything or anyone. This needs to be fixed and I know if it is happening to my vehicle it has to be happening to others I can not be the only person with this issue.
