“My daughter was driving her new 2020 Nissan Rogue Sport during the day. Her brakes engaged at full strength and the car came to a jolting stop. There was nothing in front of her and luckily nothing behind her. This is a severe safety issue that deserves a recall! I have read that at least 1400 other rogue owners have reported this problem. Why no recall?!”

“I was driving home from the store on bragg blvd and I was driving about 45 miles per hour and out of the blue an alarm went off and light on the dash started flashing and the auto breaking started to stop my 2020 Nissan Rogue Sport for no reason no one was in front of me or behind me and I didn't know what was going on with the rouge why was it trying to stop on the highway at 45 miles per hour, just tried to stop for no reason.”

“The fuel gauge has failed. The ac unit has been finicky since I purchased the vehicle and has already received one repair. Fuel gauge has been reading incorrectly for 2 weeks now. Read that it is a common issue for the nissan rogue sports. A few days ago my forward collision warning came on and said system error. There were no objects in front of me or stuck to the vehicle.”

NHTSA complaint #11691827, filed 2025-10

“Heading home while raining the Automatic Emergency Break engaged while driving and nothing was present to make it engage. This time my husband was driving and it made us run off the road. This also engaged while backing out of my garage and nothing was present to make it engage. Nissan does not seem like they want to fix the issue.”
