2021 Nissan Rogue driver assistance complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 40 of 40, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Summary of Issue: While driving my 2021 Nissan Rogue SL using cruise control, a vehicle turned left in front of me. My Rogue beeped, disengaged cruise control, and abruptly lost acceleration without braking. This sudden loss of throttle caused my car to decelerate in the middle of the road during active traffic, nearly resulting in a collision. There were no warning lights or messages, and the issue did not resolve until I manually took control of acceleration. Safety Concern: I rely on cruise control regularly, and this unexpected disengagement created a dangerous situation that compromised my ability to safely maintain speed and respond to surrounding traffic. I’m concerned this may be a fault within the adaptive cruise control system or a misinterpretation by the forward-facing sensors.
While driving one day in November 2024, the master warning light and the automatic emergency braking system off warning light came on. With 2 malfunction warnings: “Not available system malfunction with the Lane Departure warning symbol” and “AEB malfunction”. If you try to use cruise control a loud siren is alerted since these 2 malfunctions are happening. Took it to the Nissan dealership where I bought it and was told there was a lane camera with an open circuit and to replace it when my windshield crack since it was close to $2,000.
FCW randomly turns off while driving in daylight under clear conditions. Each time I stop and check the sensor on the front to make sure I haven’t hit a bug or something that covered the sensor and each time the sensor is clear.
Warning popped up that malfunction and forward collision was disabled
The collision system just randomly turns off
As I was driving my daughter to school suddenly a warning popped up in the dash that there was a forward collision malfunction and the system turned itself off. There were no other vehicles near me or in front of me and the sensors were not blocked by rain (we are in drought conditions) or snow.
My backup camera was intermittent and then stopped working. Had extended warranty and got backup camera replaced. Worked for 2 weeks than was intermittent again. Brought back into dealership and was told that it was the wiring harness inside the back tailgate that was the issue. In order to fix the whole back tailgate of my 2021 Rogue SV AWD had to be replaced. Camera only works 2% of the time. Nissan won't take care of the problem.
The forward collision system randomly turns off while driving. Even in clear conditions (I understand that rain or snow may block the sensor)
I was parked then backed up to proceed forward. There was a pole with a cemented base in the corner left as I accelerated I ran in to this pole. Peripherally I don’t know how I missed the pole however I do take accountability for that. What concerns me is my front collision system and forward emergency braking system failed and did not activate or message me in any way. In the past if I’ve come too close to a vehicle or object in front of me my vehicle lets me know messaging me on my screen, side mirrors and my vehicle has even braked itself. I have become reliant on this system and I no longer feel secure or safe knowing this system intermittently works. The dealership Hart Nissan now Victory Nissan I bought my 2021 Rogue from said that certain areas of the front bumper can miss objects. This is not safe and unacceptable. Additionally it is costing me a $2,000 deductible which is unaffordable on my disability income.
I have a 2021 Nissan Rogue and have had numerous problems with it since the purchase. My current problem is that the back hatch/trunk is leaking when it rains, water is coming through. The back hatch/trunk will also open and not stay open, it begins to automatically close unless you press the button so it will not close on you. The warning lights have also began coming on again stating that driving assistance is not available. I also lose power to the display screen on the inside and it goes dark. The nissan place where I live is aware and I have an appointment on Tuesday of this month. I have asked them in the past about recalls on my vehicle and they state that my vehicle has no recalls, I have also checked the site and it states my VIN is not included in the recall even though I feel like I have had so many problems with this car. In the past, I have already had to have my alternator replaced and a new battery. This is my first experience owning a Nissan, in the past I had a toyota and in the future I will go back to a toyota. I will not own another Nissan, my experience has not been a good one with this vehicle.
These warning lights always come up-DAILY. No matter if it is hot or cold out. I am worried that they will not work if/when I actually needed them to. I am scheduling an appointment with NISSAN. Nothing has been looked at on it besides my normal oil change/check ups. I have a 7 month old and it scares me that I am not in a safe vehicle.
The contact owns a 2021 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that on multiple occasions while in reverse, the rear-view camera display was black.

The vehicle was repaired and two weeks later the failure reoccurred twice. The contact believed that the failure was associated with the federal safety agency Campaign Numbers: 22V772000 (Back Over Prevention) and 22V527000 (Back Over Prevention, Equipment). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.
I've had issues since I purchased my Rogue (11/4/2020) with the AEB automatically stopping my Rogue when there is no obstacle in the way. It is mainly with the rear AEB, but has happened a few times with the front AEB.
I was driving forward and following another vehicle. It slammed on the brakes suddenly causing me to hit the back of the vehicle in front of me. I am supposed to have forward collision detection and automatic braking and neither one ever engaged to avoid the crash.
On September 1, 2023, I was headed north on I-95 in North Carolina. I was involved in a 3 car pileup where the Automatic Emergency Braking and Forward Collision Warning on my 2021 Nissan Rogue failed to activate. My vehicle had ADAS but almost killed my mother and me since they did not work. The car was totaled and the State Trooper wrongfully cited me for failure to reduce speed even though my foot was firmly on the brakes. The airbags were severed during impact and failed to deploy.
AEB/ABS braking system lights came on. I've had prior electrical problems with this car so I assumed it was an electrical malfunction. When I took it to the Nissan dealership they told me there was a brake fluid leak in the ABS actuator. The warning lights started Friday August 4th 2023. I took it in to get diagnosed Thursday August 10th 2023. I bought my 2021 Rogue in Jan. 2023 from Carvana with no knowlege of accidents or prior issues within the first few weeks I had issues with the distance sensor which Nissan recplaced. I have not had any accidents with the car since I've owned it.

Went from a parking lot to the street and suddenly SUV wouldn’t accelerate. Pulled over, turned car off. Turned back on and put into drive gear and it moved forward. Car is 6 weeks old (bought 11/8/2022). Two weeks after obtaining the front crash warning light kept flashing. Then it told me it was a warning and not to drive. Comes on weekly. Then it doesn’t.

Automatic braking front and rear work sporadically and in most condition not predicable. Dealer tells me it’s working as designed. System very dangerous
The automatic emergency braking has activated randomly while in reverse and in drive on many occasions. These instances have almost gotten my hit while on the interstate as well as other busy highways in Fort Lauderdale. The car has been inspected on multiple occasions by Nissan and they have been unable to fix it and merely suggest turning off this feature. The front braking sensors have malfunctioned and I have the warning notifications. The radio unit continues to go blank without any warning and Nissan is unable to determine why this happens. They have added an update from the Nissan Sentra Recall for the same issue, but it has not been rectified. I have several videos and photos of the incidents, however the file types are not supported on this website.
While driving down a road at 40mph that has a speed limit of 45 there are a set railroad tracks that you go over. Of course I slow to 20mph but the forward collision warning activated but it was not a warning but an out right complete stop of the vehicle which would have cause rear end collision if someone was behind me. And it was reported to Nissan about the situation and requested to disable this safety feature but was denied.
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.
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.

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.
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. Does not allow me to use anything that has to do with the AEB system. I believe it is the main sensor. No automatic headlight diming option. Cruise controll doesn't work with systems.
