NHTSA complaint #11349699, filed 2020-08, 700 miles“My 2020 Nissan Rogue has 28,000 miles. It was purchased new in June 2021. I began hearing a knocking noise that seem to migrate around most areas of the car almost a year ago (early 2025). The Nissan dealership now tells me that all the bushings in the suspension/steering system are failing. When I looked online, and there are apparently thousands of this failure reported for the Nissan Rogue dating back to before 2018 models. This is widely reported a systemic problem with the Nisan Rogue. It involves serious safety issues. How can it not be subject to recall?”
NHTSA complaint #11718110, filed 2026-02“The steering wheel completely detached while I was driving, resulting in a car accident and totaled car. The first responders stated that they “have never seen anything like this before. Steering wheels no not typically detach in this manner.””
NHTSA complaint #11773046, filed 2026-10“Car reported to have a fluid leak in the steering rack assembly. Advised could cause spontaneous fire of the vehicle unless the assembly is replaced ASAP. Approx 40 k mileage.”
