About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
Vehicle started shaking and making noise. Engine light came on and within 30 seconds car went dead. I-??m an elderly person traveling with wife and grandchildren. On highway at 70 mph. 21,000 miles. Has been towed to dealer. No diagnosis yet. Third day moving slow. Very disappointed and scared.

I was caught in a snowstorm, driving about 5 MPH. Suddenly, the vehicle swerved to the left and I lost complete control; the brakes locked up. The vehicle spun about 145? degrees before coming to a stop perpendicular to the road; subsequently rear-ended from behind. The moment was surreal; I-??ve never felt closer to a life-threatening incident because I had ZERO CONTROL over the car: I was spared ONLY because there was no oncoming traffic. My biggest concern is why the safety systems failed to intervene. During the incident, the ABS did NOTHING. Traction Control, NOTHING. NO warning lights came on. It-??s mind blowing that the car skidded about 145? degrees without any intervention from the ABS and Traction Control systems. With modern 4-channel ABS and advanced Traction Control (Vehicle Dynamic Control) safety systems, the car should have attempted to correct itself. Because I was at a standstill, I was braking the entire time; I didn-??t jam the brakes or steer the vehicle. To make matters worse, the car was in Snow Mode AWD. One hypothesis is a glitch where Vehicle Dynamic Control won-??t operate in snow mode to give maximum engine performance. But at the cost of reduced safety and traction. Or perhaps the safety systems are not working as intended. The emergency brake malfunction light occasionally comes on when idling and several malfunction messages once during a long trip. However, these were sporadic and did not appear before this incident. Moreover, the maintenance person at my apartment recently experienced the same issue. While on the road with his new 2021 Nissan Rogue, his car spun out of control FOUR TIMES. He's driven in the snow in other vehicles without a problem, and will NEVER drive the Rogue in snow again. Because this vehicle failed in a critical safety scenario, I-??m requesting Nissan carefully inspect the safety systems, including the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) and Vehicle Dynamic Control free of charge. Will escalate this further if needed.

The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while merging onto a highway at 60 MPH, the vehicle continued to accelerate upon releasing the accelerator pedal. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact depressed the brake pedal to slow the vehicle; however, upon release of the brake pedal, the engine began to rev, and the vehicle accelerated to 85 MPH. The contact depressed the brake pedal and pulled off to the shoulder of the highway. The engine continued to rev as the contact turned off the vehicle. The contact's husband arrived at the scene after 20 minutes and upon restart of the vehicle, several warning lights appeared on the instrument panel as her husband slowly drove the vehicle to the dealer. The vehicle was not yet diagnosed. The vehicle remained in the possession of the dealer. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000.
