Vehicle: 2026 Nissan Rogue, flat gray Issue: Cargo floor board over spare-tire well cracked / bowing, no support underneath, child safety hazard What happened: My 2026 Nissan Rogue does not come with a spare tire. Under the cargo floor board in the back there is just an empty well, a blank spot with nothing under the board to hold it up. Around May 2026 the board started bowing right away. It got moisture in it from winter and it got weak. I want to say it was June when it broke. My son [XXX] was leaning through from the back end to the front to push or grab something, the seats were down, and the board bowed down and cracked under him. It didn't go all the way through, but it scared him. It's still really bowed really bad now, but I have all that stuff underneath it. The well underneath is jagged metal. If a little kid was standing on that board, like if somebody was changing their clothes back there or a kid climbed up on it, that board could give out and they'd fall right into that jagged well and get hurt bad. Somebody's going to get hurt. I filled the well in with crates and blankets and boards I had around the house just so the board would hold weight again, because I can't afford to buy proper supports. But that's not a real fix. This board should have support under it from the factory. There is nothing holding it up except the edges. A board that people stand on and load groceries and pet food onto should not be hollow underneath with no support. I want Nissan to know about this because it's not safe, especially for kids.

What 2026 Nissan Rogue owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Was driving down the road coming up to a stop sign and right before I reached the stop sign the car jolted to a stop and completely turned off. I had to literally turn the car back on. There was no one in front of me. This car has only 500 miles.
I opened the passenger door of my 2026 Rogue last night and the back window exploded out. There was no prior damage to my car. It was sitting in my driveway. When I opened the door I heard a pop and had no idea what it was until I saw glass in the driveway and looked at the window and there was literally a hole shattered out in the window.
Back rear window shattered when I closed the passenger door of the car. If I was driving it would have been cause an accident. They were no warning.
On [XXX] at [XXX] pm my new 2026 Nissan Rogue’s brakes failed resulting on a vehicle accident in the City of El Centro, Ca 92243. No injuries. No warning lights appeared on the dash board. I applied brakes and the pedal went all the way in into the floor of the vehicle, I pumped and pumped and brakes did not respond. Vehicle was towed to United Nissan Dealer in Imperial, Ca 92251 where they say computer did not record any failure issues. I have filed a claim with Nissan Corporation Consumer Affairs case number is [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Parked my vehicle, opened the back hatch to check for shopping bags, closed the back hatch using the automatic button. While in the store, I was called to the front. A worker reported that my window in my hatch just "popped." He could hear the glass break and when I arrived it was still making a crackling noise. Camera footage reviewed, no one was near my car to have broken it.
Multiple times the seat belt on driver side gets stuck making it a safety hazard, could happen to other seat belts but it is unsafe to have a passenger. The belt gets stuck in the webbing/anchor. I have been stranded in a parking lot multiple times till I figure out how to unstuck it in the webbing/anchor. This puts me in a safety hazard if I am in an unsafe parking lot. And what would happen in a car accident if the anchor/webbing blocks the seatbelt from protecting me? I have disabilities and chronic pain, I cannot imagine another car accident that would further my disabilities.
The contact owns a 2026 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed on several occasions, the RPM elevated to 8,000 RPM without the accelerator pedal depressed. The contact slowed down and came to a complete stop, and the vehicle shut off, and the lights were inoperable. The contact stated that the vehicle was restarted after several attempts. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The failure mileage was 6,250.
Went out to grab something for the Rogue and noticed the rear windshield was blown out from the inside. Glass was all over outside of the vehicle. The vehicle sat overnight and had not been used for 10 hours before it was seen. [XXX] left a half hour before and didn’t see any damage.

My daughter suffered a catastrophic failure of the drivetrain in her 2023 Nissan Rogue while leaving Knoxville, Tennessee, on [XXX]. I had the car towed to Ted Russell Nissan, 8565 Kingston Pike, 37919. After a few days, they informed us that it would be repaired under warranty and provided us with a new Nissan Rogue (vin#[XXX]) as a loaner/rental free of charge until the repairs were completed. Five days later, she placed her three year old son in his car seat in the back passenger side of the Rogue, in the driveway of her home in Johnson City, TN. When she walked around to the driver’s door, the car locked itself, locking the key fob, her phone, and her son in the car on a hot sunny day. She used a tablet to call her mother who called 911. The police were dispatched and extracted the child by breaking into the driver’s door. The lock system clearly failed, as it is not supposed to be possible to lock the key fob in the vehicle. Clearly, the child’s life was threatened by this failure. I contacted the dealer and relayed this information to them. Their only response was ‘is there any damage to the vehicle’. When I returned the vehicle on September 12, they had no questions about the incident and made no indication that they intended to investigate or repair this problem. There were no warnings or indications that the lock system was failing. The dealer made no effort to contact my daughter, the police, or other witnesses to the incident. While their indifference to the safety of a child is beyond offensive, I am concerned that they had not addressed this failure and someone else could be at risk if they rent or purchase that vehicle. This form did not allow me to upload it, but I also have security camera footage of my daughter being locked out of the vehicle, the frantic effort to comfort the child through the window while waiting for the police, and the traumatized child being remove from the vehicle.
