2026 Nissan Rogue electrical problems

Filed Oct 5, 2026 · Electrical · CA

on 9/15/2026 (9:30am), I used the Nissan app to unlock my car to get my sunglasses. The car unlocked fine. I retrieved the sunglasses and tried to use the app to lock the doors but the app said the doors could not lock bc the car thought the trunk was open. (it was not) It did finally lock the doors, but kept giving me a message that the trunk was open. The trunk was not open. I have cell phone video of this. On October 1, 2026, the seat belt reminder did not go off (which is the first time it hasn't. it always goes off). I have cell phone video of this. On October 2, 2026, I used the pre-start engine option via the app to cool off the car. Even after I had started the car with the key fob and was driving down the road, the pre-start was still giving me a count down that the engine would turn off... even though we were driving down the road. I have cell phone video of this. Basically - after the liftgate has closed without warning several times (resulting in one significant injury, one minor injury and 2 near misses), I now keep my iphone recording almost the entire time I'm in the car and when we are load and unloading things.

The power liftgate in my 2026 Nissan Rogue Platinum continues to close unprompted. There have been 2 injuries (one minor and one significant). And 2 near misses. This is the 2nd near miss. On 9/15/2026, around 2pm (timestamp - according to dash cam footage) my daughter was loading a small wagon and tote in the back of the car. We were transporting belongings to her father who is in a long term care facility with dementia. After the previous injuries from the liftgate, we now ensure 2 people are at the back of the car so one can intervene if the liftgate starts to close. She had loaded the late tote when the liftgate started closing umprompted. I was able to stop it from hitting her becuase I was standing guard. I have filed complaints with Nissan and the federal safety agency for the incidents. We have no other means of transportation or we would not use this car.

The power liftgate has closed a couple of times without being prompted. (no one has pushed the button inside the car, or on the door. No one is kicking under the car. No one is pushing the button on the key fob) After injuring 2 of my family members, we are now very cautious when using the liftgate. One person must be standing under the liftgate to make sure it doesn't close umprompted and hurt anyone. (I have notified Nissan and the federal safety agency about the 2 incidents with injuries, both required medical care). So she was not injured. but we are all scared of this car... but it is our only source of transportation. And her cosmetology case is massive and will only fit in the trunk. On 9/30/2026, I was dropping my daughter off at cosmetology school and she was retreiving her cosmetology case from the trunk when the liftgate started closing on her - unprompted. I HAVE THIS ON CELL PHONE VIDEO. (Just like I have dash cam of the incident when I was knocked unconscious by the liftgate and now have a traumatic brain injury and neck injury). Luckily- we were paying very close attention and we pushed the liftgate back up after it started closing on my daughter.

I picked up my adult daughter from the LAX on August 5th at 9:00am. I was in the driver’s seat and pushed the button to open the liftgate, so she could load her luggage. As she was loading her luggage, the power liftgate closed on her - unprompted. It hit her in the back of the head. (across the back, near the base of her skull) She yelled at me for "closing the trunk on her head" but I did not hit any button. She had a really bad headache for an hour or so, but later that evening and the next day, she developed severe back of the head and neck pain. We took her to a emergency clinic the next morning on 8/6/26 and the physician gave her medicine (injection and prescription) for severe acute headache and cervical paraspinal muscle spasm. He told her to follow up with neurology bc she may have trigemenal neuralgia. We did not put the pieces together (that the liftgate was the source of her pain) until later... after the liftgate knocked me unconscious on 9/1 and I now have a traumatic brain injury and neck injury.

Driving home from the store on 9/19/2026, the car completely lost power while going 45 mph. Was able to restart the vehicle and made it home.

Less than 24 hours after the transmission issue was fixed, I was driving down the interstate with my speedometer registering 147 MPH. I immediately took the vehicle back to the dealership. While the vehicle was in "Park", the speedometer was reading 80 MPH. Technicians were unable to replicate the problem, and I'm stuck with a vehicle that I'm not sure registers an accurate speed.

The vehicle reads the speed limit signs improperly and the adaptive cruise control will speed up the vehicle to the improper speed limit. For instance it is 45 mph on SR 70 in TN and the vehicle will read the speed limit as 70 mph and take off up to 70 mph on it's own. Very dangerous. Took it to 2 dealers and they are unable to fix the problem.

I am reporting a recurring safety issue with the vehicle’s auto engine stop/start system. When the vehicle comes to a stop, the engine sometimes shuts off normally (other time only the auto-brakes engage, but engine stays on), but then the system behaves unpredictably. The engine attempts to restart with a violent jolt, causing the entire vehicle to shake. This occurs even when I am fully stopped with my foot on the brake. It feels like the vehicle is trying to lurch forward or restart against resistance. The issue is repeatable, happens in normal driving conditions, and creates a safety concern because the sudden jolt can startle the driver, cause unintended movement, or lead to loss of control in traffic. I believe this may indicate a defect in the auto‑engine‑stop system, engine mounts, starter system, or related control modules. Please investigate, as other owners may be experiencing the same unsafe behavior.

I was driving at night at highway speed, and I turned down the brightness of the screen using the dimmer controls on the lower left side of the dash assembly. After several presses of the button from full illumination to approximately 40%, the entire instrument panel went blank, and a loud alert sounded. I lost all instrumentation for a few seconds, and then the screen rebooted. After it rebooted back at full brightness, I tried reducing it again, and the instrument panel rebooted for a second time while on the highway.
