While stopped at a stop sign I pressed the gas to go and my car began to shutter then out itself in park. I turned it off then on again as no indicators popped up but I could not drive. It would go only into neutral or park. Then, after a while my car refused to turn off. I will press the break then the start/stop button and it would shut off then turn right back on. Then, the oil life and engine light came on and on the screen it said there was a headlight system error or failure. We tried to jump the car and it still would not start. This was a car I had for 2 months, only 2 years old, and only 37,000 miles on it.
2021 Nissan Rogue electrical complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 62 of 62, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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.
The car just shut down while it was on and I was in it. Luckily I was at a stop. This is the second time it has happened in 6 months. It would be scary if it happened if it happened on the freeway. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle.
I was driving on 85 south @10:15 am it was very busy traffic and all of a sudden the vehicle starts loosing power all kinds of lights came on the panel engine malfunction also was on the panel it was so scary.I was trying to get off the highway safely the steering wheel was hard to turn.I saw2 18 wheelers & other vehicles coming l really thought I was going to die.
I have had several issues over the course of 2 years with the what appears to be an electrical or computer problem with this vehicle. The dashboard will light up and all the warnings constantly display. It is not always the same alert. It has also happened a couple times while I was driving and I had to pull over. Today I had another issue I went to get in my car and there is beeping and flashing and lights on the dashboard, I was also unable to start my vehicle, it progressed to me not being able to unlock or lock the doors, I had to do it manually. This is not the first time this has happened, and eventually I was able to get it started, but not the time. I have also reported the issue to my dealership, but the last time I did, they said they didn't see anything when I took it and that it may be the computer and if it happens again bring it in.
May 1st, 2023 at approx. 3:30pm There were NO warning lights or messages of ANY kind received. No warning given by mail or phone call from selling agent that was issued March 12th, 2021. Was driving on interstate going south headed home after work. Approx 15 mi from home when smoke starting coming into the vehicle & from under the hood. Traveling in fast lane, appox 70mph in heavy traffic. Tried to pull over to see what the problem was but traffic wouldn't allow it, & I could not get to side of road & missed the next exit. So I proceeded to next rest area that I knew was less than a mile on my side. When there is smoke you usually find fire! As I entered the exit ramp to rest area I passed out from smoke inhalation. SUV continued traveling straight ahead at approx 55 mph & hit parked 18 wheeler tractor-trailer, I bounced off it, circled around & ended up facing West. I was still unconscious, truck driver & security guard pulled me from my suv. Just as they did the vehicle exploded into flames. Nothing left of vehicle. Rescuers could not see if any other passengers were in car because the black smoke was so thick & flames were shooting from under hood. Transported via ambulance to regional trauma & burn center to critical care ICU. There they did full test to check for stroke, heart, or other problems but I was in great health. I did have 4 broken ribs on left, cut in top of skull that took 8 staples, stitches in right eyebrow, damaged forehead, & various 1st, 2nd, & 3rd degree burns on my face, neck, right ear, left forearm, & both hands burned sufficiently! My shirt MELTED. SUV definitely had a problem that I was NOT aware of, for it to just start smoking, driving down the road. Purchased 3-7-23 from Hertz Car Sales. Only had SUV for 79 days/ 2 months! Loved the vehicle but it almost killed me! Thanks forever to my guardian Angel that saved my life! This model SUV must be recalled to save lives in the future & repair such a dangerous issue!

The contact owns a 2021 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start, causing the contact to jumpstart the vehicle. The contact had the vehicle towed to the dealer who stated that the alternator had failed. The vehicle had not been repaired. The contact stated that while reversing out of the driveway, the brakes erroneously activated, and vehicle independently stopped. The contact stated that the taillights would blink, and the radio would turn on independently. There were no warning lights. The contact took the vehicle to another dealer who diagnosed that there was an engine wiring harness that had been damaged by water, corrosion, and partly melted. The wiring harnesses needed to be replaced. The dealer informed the contact of the failure was also related to the federal safety agency Campaign Numbers: 21V957000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) and 21V068000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) however, the VIN was not included. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made of the failure and confirmed that the VIN was not included. The approximate failure mileage was 63,000.
Battery was down when we tried to start . After charging the battery to start Rogue and take to dealer the dash display did not work so wile was driving blind !
The car belong to my father. This is the third incident. While he was going out of his property in reverse about 5 miles by hours the car sudently turn off itself making imposible to control the vehicle in any way , no wheel control , no brakes and almost kill his neighbors.
Randomly I get malfunction light, check engine light, caution light and and low power lights that flash and beep in the car. It affects the pressure I need to use when pressing down on the gas pedal. It requires more pressure and does not let me surpass a certain mph (I have only gone 40mph when this has appeared). It will randomly shut off and turn on. Since it has started it has been happening more and more with more lights going off. While driving it has turned off the blind spot indicator and other electrical options in the car distracting me while driving.
I have had a recurring problem with the battery draining with my 2021 Nissan Rogue, which I bought brand new in 2021, although the headlight dial is set to "Auto" and no interior lights were engaged. This is also despite the vehicle having only 8,600 miles on it. I have had the vehicle checked for its 5K/10K mile maintenance, each time it was given a clean bill of health. In the last three months, I had to call a towing service to help get my car started twice and each time the towing service determined the battery was drained. When I took it to the dealership, on both times they said the battery was fine. On both occasions, once the battery was charged, the dashboard gave a headlight error. The dealership said that error was cleared and said "it was probably just the battery." For the second incidence, the dashboard gave an error about the ABS system, despite having been checked for regular maintenance at the dealership just 4 days before and being given a clean bill of health. Again, the Service Adviser said that it was probably just the battery. I took a picture of the towing service’s diagnostic tool which indicated the battery health was at 4% and that it was fully drained, and was “bad and needs to be replaced.” Once the vehicle was checked at the dealership, the Service Adviser informed me that because no error was given by their diagnostic computer, they could not replace the battery for free because "we would be out $250" and that I had to contact Nissan directly for help. I asked if their diagnostic computer would even be calibrated to detect whatever error was leading to what he described as "I have seen issues with the batteries with these cars, the batteries for these cars are different.” Given the dangerous weather we had this year, where many people have died because they were trapped in their vehicles that were unpowered, this is a clear safety issue, what if the battery dies again while I am on the road and away from immediate help?
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.
Traveling approximately 30 mph, suddenly appears Red triangle with a Warning ....Not Available ....System Malfunction, and a yellow illuminated object on the speedometer on the instrument panel of the car. The Warning sign remains on until vehicle turned off, once vehicle is restarted and you get to approximately 30 mph, the warning light reappear. The vehicle has been taken to the dealership multiple times since Sept/ Oct 2021. All I know is whatever the service dept at the dealership does to remove warning, the warning sign always return. I am thinking it take more than resetting computer in vehicle to repair vehicle. The photos I am submitting has approximately 12k miles, you will notice the warning sign is on them as well.

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.
5 days after buying the car when you turn it on. An alert of FAILURE IN THE MOTOR LACK OF ENERGY TAKE TO SERVICE. He took him to where he was bought, they checked everything was fine but he did not understand why that notice came out. moderately to call to give me an answer but they did not call me. Weeks passed and the car began to show warnings on the screen, a yellow wrench, a yellow exclamation point, lack of oil, perform an oil change with only 1000 miles, the parking sensor is constantly activated while driving, the vehicle It turns off, it was taken back to where it was bought, they reviewed it and did a re-programming, when I went to pick up a car from the workshop I turned it on and the car turned off and the alarm sounded.
I had just filled up my tank and was leaving the local gas station. My car would not move. This was not the result of the gas I just put in it. Additionally, the electrical display on the dashboard was wreaking havoc. It told me to put my foot on the break to start my car, even though the car had to be running to have the blue tooth connected and me speaking on the phone with the car door wide open. Best of all, the assistance button to call for help, wouldn't work because it wouldn't start. The car has less than 3K miles on it, it had to be towed to the dealership. Because my car is so new I was told the part is on back order. They are waiting on a fuel pump in hopes of keeping the car running to find out what is causing the electrical issues. I waited 30 years to get a new car, and now I am afraid of it. Looking at the reviews and troubles other have had with theirs is disheartening.
While our son was trying to align car in drive outside our home garage door, going from r to d, dash lit up with all red warnings and could not put into park. Car started to roll back. My husband went to assist our son who was behind wheel and now believed the car to be in park. When my husband went to get behind wheel and my son was getting out, car started rolling backward getting close to our neighbor's garage door. My husband and son both fell from vehicle beside drivers door. My son put arms up onto open door trying to prevent car from further rolling and to prevent his father from being run over. Car finally stopped, aaa was called and vehicle towed to dealership. Car has approximately 1300 miles on it, and was taken to dealership twice to repair/replace/check sensors.
