Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

Vehicle: 2026 Nissan Rogue, flat gray Issue: Cargo floor board over spare-tire well cracked / bowing, no support underneath, child safety hazard What happened: My 2026 Nissan Rogue does not come with a spare tire. Under the cargo floor board in the back there is just an empty well, a blank spot with nothing under the board to hold it up. Around May 2026 the board started bowing right away. It got moisture in it from winter and it got weak. I want to say it was June when it broke. My son [XXX] was leaning through from the back end to the front to push or grab something, the seats were down, and the board bowed down and cracked under him. It didn't go all the way through, but it scared him. It's still really bowed really bad now, but I have all that stuff underneath it. The well underneath is jagged metal. If a little kid was standing on that board, like if somebody was changing their clothes back there or a kid climbed up on it, that board could give out and they'd fall right into that jagged well and get hurt bad. Somebody's going to get hurt. I filled the well in with crates and blankets and boards I had around the house just so the board would hold weight again, because I can't afford to buy proper supports. But that's not a real fix. This board should have support under it from the factory. There is nothing holding it up except the edges. A board that people stand on and load groceries and pet food onto should not be hollow underneath with no support. I want Nissan to know about this because it's not safe, especially for kids.

Parked my vehicle, opened the back hatch to check for shopping bags, closed the back hatch using the automatic button. While in the store, I was called to the front. A worker reported that my window in my hatch just "popped." He could hear the glass break and when I arrived it was still making a crackling noise. Camera footage reviewed, no one was near my car to have broken it.

Seat belts
Filed Oct 14, 2026

Multiple times the seat belt on driver side gets stuck making it a safety hazard, could happen to other seat belts but it is unsafe to have a passenger. The belt gets stuck in the webbing/anchor. I have been stranded in a parking lot multiple times till I figure out how to unstuck it in the webbing/anchor. This puts me in a safety hazard if I am in an unsafe parking lot. And what would happen in a car accident if the anchor/webbing blocks the seatbelt from protecting me? I have disabilities and chronic pain, I cannot imagine another car accident that would further my disabilities.
