Reports submitted to NHTSA, shown in the owner's own words
The contact owns a 2020 Nissan Rogue Sport. The contact stated that while driving 30–40 MPH uphill, the vehicle decelerated unexpectedly, and failed to accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal, and the vehicle rolled backwards. The contact activated the hazard lights and repeatedly depressed the brake pedal, but the vehicle failed to stop, causing the rear of the vehicle to crash into the front of a trailing vehicle. The vehicle then completely shut off and became inoperable. No warning light was illuminated before or after the crash. No injuries were reported. A Police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard. The vehicle was later towed to a dealer, where it was diagnosed that the mass airflow sensor and speed sensor needed to be replaced, along with a system calibration. The contact requested that the dealer place the repair on hold due to the severity of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 66,000.

I have a 2020 Nissan roque sport with under 70K miles. Started experiencing loud shaking and rattle when turning off car, seems to be the radiator cooling fan. There is a current class action lawsuit but no official recall. If i turn off A/C 2 minutes before getting to park and turn off car it does not rattle when i turn off i believe it does shake and rattle but with engine running do not feel it. No warnings or engine lights come on, the temparature of car does not rise past 1/2 point.

The radiator fans in the Nissan Rogues are faulty. The AC stops working and then the car overheats causing loss of fluid and white smoke coming out from underneath the hood. The engine light didn't even come on to warn us that the car was overheating.
