“dashboard displayed a "Forward Driving Aids Temporarily Disabled" message, and over the next 30 minutes, the braking system steadily failed until the pedal went completely dead, causing a multi-car collision”Owner report · Forward Collision Avoidance · Sep 2026
“While driving the start/stop fault popped up then the Forward Collision Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking, Parking Collision Warning malfunctioned. The vehicle also lost power when accelerating, RPM would go high but vehicle wouldn't go any faster. Engine light came on. Had it scanned codes P0196 (engine oil temperature sensor 'A' range/performance) & P0507 (idle control system RPM-higher than expected). Fuel consumption goes fast.”Owner report · Engine · Sep 2026
“While driving the steering wheel pulled to the left then shook a little after. Then it kind of pulled to the right. I kept driving and later in afternoon received email from Nissan that my Electronic Power Steering System may not be functioning properly. They recommended to have it serviced asap. Same drive, a car pulled in front of me and I did not get a verbal or audible warning regarding a possible front collision. My ADAS was repaired in August. While cars stopped at red light, I came up on a stopped vehicle purposefully and got very close. No warning again with a system that was repaired last month. No braking either.”Owner report · Forward Collision Avoidance · Sep 2026
“After multiple issues with the motor of my new Rogue, my windshield spontaneously shattered this week. I'm glad I was not driving the vehicle when it occurred because apparently it sounded like a shotgun when it ruptured. This is a major issue apparently for many Rogue owners. My concern is what else might be wrong with the vehicle - not a safe vehicle for sure. If you're a mom and driving with little kiddos - please find a safer vehicle! Nissan is repairing the windshield and is trying to offer to trade the vehicle - which is a sign that they are aware of this problem among Rogues.”Owner report · Visibility/Wiper · Aug 2026
“The contact owns a 2025 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving 55 MPH, the rear windshield exploded without impact. The contact stated that there was no injury sustained but there was broken glass on the hands. Medical attention was not needed. The local dealer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, and the contact was referred to the insurance company. No additional assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 35,804.”Owner report · Visibility · Aug 2026
“The contact owns a 2025 Nissan Rogue. While the contact’s wife was driving the vehicle at an undisclosed speed with the rear defroster engaged, there was a loud banging sound coming from the vehicle, and the liftgate glass shattered. The rear glass was not impacted by an object to cause the glass to shatter. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer; however, the cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 13,000.”Owner report · Visibility · Aug 2026
“The vehicle was recalled and when they reprogrammed the ECM, a code P11a9 appeared which led to the VCR actuator. They had to perform a VCR base position learning procedure. Initially, the service tech and service manager told us we needed a new engine.also, the ADAS and lane departure parts needed to be replaced as the crash malfunction light came on at about 65 miles.”Owner report · Engine · Aug 2026
