2019 Nissan Rogue: problems, recalls and reliability

“The contact owns a 2019 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at 70 MPH, the seat heater on the front passenger seat was on and overheated, causing smoke to come from the seat. It had burned through the leather seat and caused a hole. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnosis or repair. The manufacturer was not informed. The failure mileage was approximately 92,000.”Owner report · Seats · May 2026

“While driving underneath an overpass immediately, followed by an intersection, as I accelerate through the stop lit intersection in the early hours of the morning, my Rogue's forward collision, alert flashes yellow, and white, and I lose acceleration. It feels as if the car shifted to neutral and there is a grinding, which I believe is the automatic emergency, breaking system, attempting to slow the car. This is happened to me twice in the last month. The car was taken to Nissan Service where they performed a diagnostic and did not seem to be able to find any kind of error.”Owner report · Forward Collision Avoidance · May 2026

“I bought the car new, and the entire time I've owned this NIssan Rogue, the automatic emergency braking has a tendency to engage at 5-15 MPH when the car drives over grates or certain water drains (see attached pictures). Very startling and easy to get rear ended by other cars. It's annoying and unsafe. I told the dealership, and they claim they're aware, and their advice is to "sell the car."”Owner report · Forward Collision Avoidance · Apr 2026

“The seat has been repaired at a Nissan two or three times and still the motor on the seat just stops working so it will not go forward or backward. Regarding the auto braking system, the camera or car will seem something in front of me and will auto brake, a hard brake, but there won't be anything in front of me.”Owner report · Seats · Apr 2026

“While driving on the highway, when I attempted to break the car did not stop. The warning lights came on and the vehicle hesitated but still would not stop. I then had to swerve the best I could to the right, but my car still hit the corner of the car in front. This is the third incident with the ABS, but the only one resulting in an accident. The dashboard reads system malfunction. The vehicle is currently in possession of the insurance company.”Owner report · Forward Collision Avoidance · Mar 2026

“There are two issues with my 2019 Nissan Rogue - 1. Parasitic drain - Battery dies if the car isn't operated for 5 days. 2- Door Lock Actuator - Door Lock Actuator on the driver side door has failed and doesn't work through the remote. A key has to be inserted in the car or manually locked for it to be locked.”Owner report · Unknown Or Other · Mar 2026

“While driving the automatic brake stopped the car while turning in a curve. However in another incident I was cut off and brakes did not automatically stop. The brakes works when they want too. Not reliable or safe. Separately, the steering wheel randomly squeaks while turning. It doesn't do it often, every other month or so I will hear the speaking sound.”Owner report · Steering · Jan 2026
