When using the voice control on the steering wheel of my 2018 Rogue in June 2023, the sound of my voice was not picked up by the microphone. I went online to look for recalls or repair information, and found a Reddit thread with many 2018 Rogue owners complaining of the same issue. I took the vehicle to the dealership. The dealership replicated the issue and found the Telematics Control Unit was not working. The technician also stated he has seen several of these stating, "Not a huge number, but quite a few." Since this is just one dealership, coupled with the online discussions, I believe this is a widespread problem that Nissan is aware of and has not voluntarily recalled. SAFETY: Many states have hands-free laws and the malfunctioning Telematics Control Unit does not allow the hands-free safety feature to work. Nissan is also asking $817 to rectify the issue, which could be cost prohibitive for some owners, causing them to forego the safety repair.

I purchased this vehicle from carmax in November. I didn't even have it for a month and there quite a few things wrong. When I took it back to the dealership they "Couldn't recreate the problem" but wouldn't Give me Back my car. They kept it for 6 months. In that time they ended up doing a bunch of repairs, including putting in a new transmission. I have not had it back for a full week and driving to work it was very resistant to go at all. I made the mistake of getting on the freeway, where I couldn't get off until the next exit. My rpms went to and stayed at 6000 and I had no idea why and my crashing car with a star Symbol was illuminated, (and still is) for the whole way. I got off the freeway turned off my car. Turned it back on hoping this would fix the problem and drove less than 20 miles per hour the entire rest of the way to work. Even at 20 miles an hour. My RP m's were at 6000 and we're not even trying to go down.

I was driving on the expressway when my car started shaking and a malfunction message came on. My steering then started to steer only to the left and the car would not allow me to control the steering any longer. I hit the median wall, did a 360 and was facing the opposite direction of traffic. The door initially would not unlock to let me out. I kept trying in a panic and all of a sudden they unlocked for me to get out. My car was totaled out by my insurance company.

On Friday April 21, 2023 I was operating my vehicle with my toddler inside going about 30 miles per hour when suddenly out of no where with No Warning my vehicle beeped rapidly 5 times and as it was beeping it intensely braked itself and/or slowed down immediately while at a speed of about 30 miles per hour. It was as if my car was getting pulled backwards and immediately slowing down I had no control of my vehicle. I was driving 30 miles per hour but I had No Control Of my vehicle, Not until the vehicle was finished pulling all the way back and slowing down to about 5-10 miles per hour from 30. I had no warnings at all and at the times there were no vehicles directly in front or on the side of me. I feared for my daughters life and safety because we were on a busy road and just felt in the moment we were going to get hit from behind because my vehicle was out of my control it had a mind of its own, I couldn-??t control it cuz it-??s like it braked it self and at a speed of 30 it pulled back. I-??m scared to drive this car now. I brought it for my growing family but it-??s a danger to me and my family as well as other vehicles driving around or besides me; for these reasons I don-??t trust nor want this vehicle no more. What component or system failed or malfunctioned" I believe the auto breaks/ emergency break sensors failed me How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? My safety and my toddlers safety was put at risk because we coulda got into a really bad accident injuring ourselves as well as others because the car dropped its speed and dragged and/or pulled my vehicle back intensely without warning. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance? Yes Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure" No, I received no warnings prior to incident nor during or after incident.

Reporting this car. Recall has been open since February and there has been no remedy with a reasonable time frame. I am not able to cover the cost of the car note because it has affected my source of income due to the recall being opened and not being fixed in a timely manner. I would like to return the car due to the lemon law/inability to fix recall.

when I am waiting for someone to come out, I listen to music with key in on position and when I try to start the car it will not start. It makes a sound but won't turn over. I was told it was the battery, I had that replaced and it is still doing the same thing. I am concerned that if I am out at night, well anytime there is a car issue it concerns me. Please advise what this could be.

Using the info center to have hands free usage. The info center restarts periodically while driving. It doesn't appear to affect the drivability of the car, but if navigating using the info center it could cause a distraction for the driver if in an unknown area or place the driver in an unfamiliar/unsafe area. At present, it restarts on its own and reconnects to the current setting. It has not been inspected or reported to anyone as of yet. It is happening more frequently.

Water inside the "A" pillar, along the front rail and in floorboard. Seal of moonroof is sitting well. This can cause a safety concern if water enters while driving, creating a distraction. Also, there is electrical components in the front rail of which I do not know, but dripping down on the front dash where the infosystem is located could cause unknown issues. The vehicle has not been inspected yet by a dealer, manufacturer, police or insurance. As of yet, no warning lights or error messages.

The component is the backup camera. The backup camera engages, but the camera image freezes momentarily after engaging. The freeze happens for around 1-2 seconds. The camera then continues to work or then crashes completely and you have to move out of reverse and back into reverse to reengage the backup camera. This has happened since I owned the vehicle and after the other recall that addressed other backup camera issues. The car is available for inspection on request. This puts others at risk since the backup camera is a crucial part of visibility. If the camera freezes when backing up, people/cars can approach and I would likely not be able to see them. The component has non been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others. No warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem. The symptoms have been with the car since purchase and definitely after the other software fix nissan had for camera issues.

Used key fob to unlock driver's door. Would not work. Used valet key. Started car, open drivers window and notice that nothing else in the cabin was operational. A/C would not turn on, could not put it in gear. Radio wouldn't function. The dash and console were dark. No message flashed. Couldn't exit the car as door wouldn't open. However, THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN. Hung out open door to unlock with valet key. Called AAA, they couldn't stop engine from running and stated they weren't "authorized" to do anything else. Called Nissan emergency number and person came out and couldn't shut off engine and finally had to disconnect the alternator to stop car from running. After reconnecting the alternator, he could not start car. I called a tow truck the next morning and at that time, the car started. Nissan service garage couldn't replicate that problem except said that the actuator in the door had failed and needed replaced - but that wouldn't cause the other issues. They had car for over a week and could not replicate the problem of the car engine running while every other car function was not operational. The car has only 3824 miles on it although it is a 2018. This is a major safety issue. Contacted Nissan Customer Care Service. Since the problem wasn't replicated, they said they couldn't help. I feel unsafe and won't drive car due to no one being able to explain why that happened or whether it will happen again.

The automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection light comes on while going down the road. One of the times that it came on it turned off cruise control and the vehicle started to slow way down and then it was like the brakes were being applied while we were on the Interstate surrounded by traffic. The vehicle then would not accelerate for a period of a couple of minutes requiring me to move over while I was in the process of trying to pass vehicles which then required drivers around me to have to slow down and avoid hitting us. The vehicle would not allow the cruise control to turn on until we finally got into a town and stopped to get something to eat. I did not report the issue to the manufacturer, police or insurance at this time. The warning light came on suddenly when the incident happened but since we had not had the vehicle that long we were not sure what it was so we had to look that up. Since then it has ran fine but the other day again while traveling down the interstate it came on again but this time there was not slowing, braking or anything as a result so don't know why it came on and it did not appear to be working correctly if it was not doing anything but flashing the warning light.
