I purchased a used 2023 Nissan Rogue on XXX. Within approximately three weeks, I experienced multiple electrical and operational problems. The engine unexpectedly shut off while I was parking, and I had to manually restart the vehicle using the Start button. On a separate occasion, the dashboard/display screen went completely black while I was driving, although the engine continued running. Other problems include doors that do not consistently remain locked, side mirrors that change their adjustments without my input, static and poor sound quality during phone calls through the vehicle's audio system, and phone charging ports that do not function properly. I notified the selling dealership, CarMax in [XXX], on XXX, and returned the vehicle for service on XXX. The service department advised me that the dashboard software had been updated but that the engine shutdown could not be reproduced during a test drive. The cause of the shutdown and other reported problems has not been confirmed. I am concerned about the safety and reliability of this vehicle, particularly the unexpected engine shutdown requiring a manual restart and the dashboard going black while driving. I am requesting that these incidents be documented and investigated as potential vehicle safety defects. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

What owners say
The rearview backup camera intermittently fails, displaying a solid black screen when shifted into Reverse, creating an immediate backover hazard in direct violation of FMVSS 111. The infotainment system is confirmed stuck on factory launch firmware SQ3A.220705.003.A1. This failure exactly mirrors the federal safety agency Recall 24V‑748 (Nissan Recall R24B3) for 2024 Rogues. Nissan Consumer Affairs (Case #XXX) has refused diagnostic or software update assistance because the vehicle is marginally outside basic warranty (~37,500 miles) and this specific VIN was omitted from the initial recall population. The manufacturer is demanding a $180 diagnostic fee to inspect a documented federal safety defect.

Apple car play stopped working after the screen went black. The traction control light randomly pops up. There are times when the car is in motion and it feels like it wants to stall but just lags then resumes as normal.

I contacted the dealership to get this scheduled. The Nissan dealership informed me that they will not be addressing the recall issue that I received in the mail. I then asked what happens if the car blows up then and was informed that, that shouldn't happen and if it does well then I guess you'll have a case.
