Complaints
NHTSA 22V-024, R21B90 Original case #11722884 Dealership, Stelly Nissan of Yorktown Heights, lied about the recall eligibility of my vehicle on March 5th, 2026. When I researched my own service records, 2014 Nissan Rogue VIN is actively included in Recall 22V-024 for the electrical connector fluid-wicking defect. The franchise dealership misinformed me regarding my vehicle's eligibility and failed to physically perform the mandatory wire harness remedy. They subsequently bypassed federal compliance by illegally marking the safety recall as closed or completed in the system without executing the physical repair. I have the physical invoice dated 11/25/2022, 0.00 parts/labor and visual inspection only, which contradicts what the recall procedure was defined as. Because the dealership skipped this mandatory safety remedy, the unaddressed fluid-wicking defect has now caused severe, cascading electrical system failures across multiple dashboard components. The vehicle remains an active electrical fire hazard as described in the original 22V-024 defect report. I am filing this new complaint specifically to report Dealer Recall Non-Compliance and Enforcement Violation. I request that NHTSA compel the manufacturer to execute the physical recall remedy immediately to mitigate the fire risk. As a matter of course, it is not currently a possibility to work with either the dealership, who has ceased communication with me, or Nissan Consumer Affairs who blatantly ignored that the recall was not performed and cited it as closed, a violation of Federal Law. Vehicle has been at dealership since 3/6/2026 and I have a large collection of supporting evidence that dealership has refused to comply with NYS DMV and NYS AG requests for mediation. Patterns examined at same dealership, case-in-point, suggest that this needs to be examined further and according to the law, not via a private consumer.
The right front quick strut coil spring on our 2014 Nissan Rogue is broken. I called Nissan to ask if they would cover the repair because Rogues from 2014-2016 suffered this defect because the anti-corrosion coating was not done correctly. Nissan said our model was not covered by the recall. The broken spring was discovered during the yearly inspection, and the shop that did the inspection quoted us $840 plus tax to replace both front coil springs. I have part of the broken spring and will keep the other half once the repair is done if you need it.
While driving, I swerved slightly to avoid a dog and went into a shallow ditch less than one foot deep. There was no collision, no structural damage, and no repairs needed to the vehicle. Despite the extremely minor impact, both airbags deployed unexpectedly. This deployment was violent and occurred without a qualifying crash. I believe this indicates a faulty airbag sensor, airbag control module malfunction, or other defect in the airbag system.
Related to Recall 22V-024 (Campaign R21B9), main harness in electrical system has been corroded by chronic water intrusion into the vehicle. Water intrusion caused by defective drain plugs in front and rear of vehicle, prone by design to clog over time. Service Advisor at Stelly Nissan of Yorktown Heights has quoted me up to 10k in repair to fix components, which is not the fault of the vehicle owner. Said Advisor just passed this vehicle for NYS inspection on February 18th, 2026. Similar to above-cited campaign, electrical components in the vehicle have started to fail, e.g. radar system/lane departure, TPS, cameras and climate system. Vehicle now at risk for safety. *Please note: Year of manufacture: 2014 Place of assembly: Smyrna, Tennessee. Recall Population Failure." "My 2014 Rogue, built in Smyrna, TN, is exhibiting the exact electrical connector corrosion and 'wicking' failure described in Recall 22V-024. The current VIN population for this recall is insufficient and fails to include all affected vehicles from the Smyrna plant, leaving a documented fire hazard unaddressed. A clerical omission of your VIN does not mean the safety risk isn't present. The fact that my 2014 Smyrna-built Rogue has the exact defect described in the recall proves the NHTSA Recall Population is inaccurate for my vehicle. NYS Consumer Protection: Under the NYS Attorney General's Consumer Frauds Bureau, a manufacturer cannot ignore a known life-safety defect (fire risk) based on a clerical technicality when physical proof of the defect is provided. Dealership quoted $10,000 to repair a harness failure that is identical to the one covered under Recall 22V-024.
My husband and I were in a head on and sustained injuries to my neck, chest abdomen, and knees. Neither the driver nor the passenger airbags went off during the accident. No lights were present no warning, lights or messages prior to the accident and we were both wearing our seatbelts. I received significant whiplash, bruising, and injuries confirmed by x-rays and feel that the airbags not going off in this collision only made it worse.
2014 Nissan Rogue Door Actuator malfunction. Driver door will not unlock to get in, whether using a fob or actual key and will not open to get out. Getting in and out of car in an emergency is imperative. It has not been inspected by anyone. There were no warning lights to indicate.
I was just driving my foot on the gas pedal got really hot like the heat kicked up and flames were coming out from infront and behind the firewall at this point i was on the highway doing. 70 pulled over and had to run i lost everything cash cards phone medication Licence and worst of all my car
While driving on the interstate and exiting at normal speed, my 2014 Nissan Rogue suddenly lost all propulsion. The engine continued to rev, but the transmission stopped delivering power to the wheels. This happened in active traffic and created an immediate safety hazard, as vehicles behind me had no warning that my car would lose power. After stopping and restarting the engine, the vehicle regained limited movement, but the power no longer matched the RPMs. This indicates internal CVT slip and loss of hydraulic pressure. Shortly after, the check engine light appeared. A diagnostic scan showed a CVT stepper motor fault, a critical component that controls pulley ratio and belt pressure. When this part or the related hydraulic system fails, the transmission cannot maintain pressure, causing slipping, overheating, loss of acceleration, and potential total failure. Many 2014–2016 Rogue owners report the same symptoms: sudden loss of power, delayed engagement, high RPM with no acceleration, and overheating. Transmission specialists consistently point to recurring internal CVT defects, including stepper motor failure, valve body wear, pressure control solenoid issues, and breakdown of the hydraulic system that maintains belt tension. These are not normal wear items but indicators of a systemic design flaw. Nissan has long been aware of widespread CVT problems. Earlier models using the same CVT design received warranty extensions due to high failure rates. Numerous Technical Service Bulletins address CVT slip, judder, overheating, and stepper motor issues. Despite this, Nissan denies responsibility for the 2014 Rogue. My dealer stated the only fix is complete transmission replacement costing thousands of dollars, with no goodwill assistance offered. This failure presents a serious safety risk. Losing propulsion without warning on a highway or while merging can easily lead to a collision. This is part of a repeat pattern of CVT failures, and I request NHTSA investigation.
The vehicle enters 'limp mode' without any warning indicators (dash lights or chimes) and it's not immediately clear why the vehicle does so or that the vehicle is, in fact, in limp mode. This has happened several times with the most recent case (October 18th) being extremely dangerous. I was highway driving in the Colorado mountains with limited exits available and speed limits that far exceeded my maximum 'limp mode' speed while traveling up hill. In addition to all the trucking traffic and hills, this created an extremely dangerous scenario. I read online that the poor design/manufacture of these Rogues caused them to be potentially prone to overheating, but that poor design shouldn't have precluded warning indicators (at the very least) and potentially a recall. The ambient temps on that Saturday were in the 40-50 degree range. Hardly highway driving conditions that you'd even guess an overheat would happen to 'highway-worthy' vehicle. I felt unsafe between the much faster traveling and accelerating traffic and had to exit the highway as soon as practical for my safety and the safety of other motorists. I have reported this to Boulder Nissan & Nissan Corporate and they speciously/dubiously told me that I need a new transmission (which effectively totals this vehicle).
The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at 35 MPH, the vehicle's rear passenger wheel frame failed and detached from the vehicle, and the vehicle merged independently into a ditch. The contact stated that no air bags were deployed. The contact stated that she did not sustain any injuries. No medical attention was required. The contact stated that a police report was not filed. The contact stated that the failure was not diagnosed by a dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle was towed to a Nissan dealer, and they informed the contact that she was responsible. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and offered no assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 99,000.
While driving down the interstate, as I exited my vehicle lost power. It would rev up but no movement. I turned the car off and restarted, now the car will drive but the power output to the wheels does not match rpm's. Check engine light came on, went to AutoZone and ran diagnostics and the code says stepper motor on cvt transmission. Started checking it out, the dealer says only transmission replacement will fix it.

1.What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request?- battery terminals started leaking battery acids and bits of corrosive residues on electrical pigtails leading to other components. Ac compression / motor quit working. Yes is available forn inspection. 2.How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? - I'm not sure if battery acids are considered to be airborne toxins but you could smell aulfer almost like rotten eggs everytime I turned on the ac and then it stopped working. 3.Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? - I could not say for sure if it has or has not been. 4.Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? - currently not yet just bought the vehicle. Have so save more money to be able to afford a diagnostic/inspection of the issue. 5.Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? - no their was not other then the smell started around June 8th 2025 and component quit working June 10th 2025.
The airbag light has been illuminated. Checked the wiring under the seats & is not loose. This issue has been recalled for other VINs but Nissan is neglecting to expand to all cars with the problem! This is a huge safety risk & needs to be recalled!
The vehicle was experiencing judder on two recent occasions. The vehicle was just over 90K miles and due for a CVT fluid inspection. After experiencing brief but violent jerks/judders while operating between 1,500 and 2,000 rpms, I took the vehicle into the Nissan dealership for said fluid inspection/change. The dealership declined to perform the requested service that day and instead recommended I 'Replace transmission and install transmission cooler' due to a "P0744" code read from the vehicle's ODB. The vehicle's tachometer would bounce when the vehicle was experiencing the issue. What's particularly concerning is that the vehicle has received the regularly suggested maintenance and shows no warning lights on the dash. I researched the P0744 code for the 2014 Rogue and found the NHTSA published service bulletin related to this problem. I'm quite concerned that the dealership didn't offer this investigation as a primary option. The steps detailed in this bulletin: [XXX] are surely less expensive than the transmission replacement recommended. It concerns me that Nissan is skipping prudent and more cost-effective diagnostic steps seemingly due to their tacit acknowledgement that these CVTs were poorly built- hence the extended powertrain warranty that was offered to settle the class action lawsuit. It appears that poor/self-serving advice continues to be given to Nissan customers rather than acknowledge the design flaws of the 2014-18 Nissan Rogue CVTs.

Both rear Lower control arms are rusted thru and need to be replaced. Car has 113,000 miles but is only 10 yrs old, Rust is severe enough that we were advised not to take long trips and to get it repair by dealer soon. Estimate is for $1400.00 and the dealership is offering no help with the cost,
While driving the doors unlock & lock. The inside lights blink on & off
When driving the rpm will be high but the car will not pick up speed. Many many times I’ve had to quickly put my hazards on when merging onto freeways or busy streets.
The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that the door locks were independently disengaging while the vehicle was parked in cold weather below 20-degrees. The contact stated that the failure recurred while driving in cold weather and driving over a bump in the roadway. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or a dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 135,000.
