The Backup camera is blurry during the day and at night totally useless with a grayed out picture as if your looking into a cloud. I have taken the car for this issue and some settings were changed, that only made things worse. I was then told is working normal. If this is normal it would be much safer not to have the backup camera as having it makes you want to use it. Almost hit a lady walking behind my car while backing out of a parking spot at 9pm. Nissan needs to recall these backup cameras.

The backup camera clarity is poor during the day and has no visibility at night. I took the car to the dealership in 2021 and was told that-??s how it is and is normal. This is a safety issue that needs to be reviewed and a recall determination made.

Failure of the motor assembly fan shroud. AC stopped working while driving not realizing that the radiator fan had stopped working and no light indicator on the dashboard appeared. This could lead to damage on the radiator and engine due to no cooling. The replacement part is out of stock and hard to find and very expensive.

Not sure where to start with complaint.....I just bought a 2018 Nissan Rogue Sport, and talked to a key-smith about getting a duplicate Fob....was told that the 2014 - 2018 Rogues have an issue with Fobs possibly causing an malfunction in the car system, and if it did the minimum fix for it is $ 1100. (Besides the $ 350 to get another Fob). He said I would have to sign a waiver stating I understand the issue, and couldn't hold them liable. He said he see's this allot and doesn't understand why NIssan doesn't have a recall on it. Help.

When I was driving, it was as though it had slipped into neutral. I was accelerating when it wouldn't accelerate anymore and just coasted like it was in neutral. Also when I accelerate from a stop, it took a minute to go. When it did finally go, it was very jerky and I was almost in an accident.

Driving about 50mph, nobody else on the road (hwy 152 in mustang ok) at around 10pm. On it's own, the vehicle starts beeping, dash flashes a yellow triangle symbol and then the automatic emergency braking system applied the brakes out of nowhere bringing us down to about 15 mph before we regained control of it. Again, there was no one else on the road, either direction, in front of, beside, or behind us. There are plenty of streetlights and visibility was very clear, we did not see an animal, or trash blowing across the road, or anything else that could have triggered it. I have an appointment with the dealer on Monday but the service tech sounded like they had never hear of this before even though there is a tsb for it. They basically just said there is no recal for it, but we'll check it out.

Emergency braking system triggers itself randomly. On several occasions, I was driving at night hours with no road hazards, or other vehicles on the road with me, and suddenly the warning emergency light comes on, and my car stops. This has happened on 3 separate occasions in the 8 months I've had the car.
