2026 Nissan Rogue

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.

+9 complaints in 30 days
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.

Car experiences a bump steer situation. When hitting a certain bump, not all bumps. Rear end shifts to the right. Feels uncontrollable and unsafe at higher speeds. Car is under warranty. Have had it looked at three times. No results from dealer. Contacted Nissan, have a case number and am trying to get results. Nothing. I feel it is a design flaw. Service manager at dealership informed me and Nissan that she has had multiple complaints on this model. There are other experiences from customers online under bump steer situation. I think this should be looked at. Please respond. 2026 Nissan rogue. Thank you

While driving at highway speeds, the panoramic sunroof glass spontaneously exploded without any prior warning, impact, or rock strikes. The sudden, loud explosion caused severe driver distraction and panic, creating an immediate safety hazard on the highway. Additionally, shattered glass fragments fell onto the interior sunshade, posing a significant risk of lacerations to the occupants. The vehicle was immediately taken to an authorized Nissan dealership, where service technicians inspected the roof and found no evidence of external impact. A warranty case was opened with Nissan Corporate. The vehicle is currently sitting at my local Nissan dealership and is fully available for inspection. The dealer has taken photos (again) and submitted them to the manufacturer. However, the vehicle has been sitting for weeks without a repair timeline, and the dealer is refusing to provide a warranty loaner vehicle while waiting for Nissan Corporate to approve the claim. There were no warning lights, messages, or prior symptoms before this sudden structural failure.

The rear tailgate window shattered while parked in the driveway. It occurred overnight and was discovered first thing in the morning. Glass fragments were propelled several feet away from the vehicle. Our 2020 Rogue spent five years parked in the exact place without any windows shattering. Our new 2026.5 Rogue had only spent 3 months parked there when the window shattered. We brought it to the dealer who said there was no warranty on broken windows so we had it repaired on our own and our insurance covered the replacement.

Three days before the accident, I experienced an unusual issue with the vehicle. When I pressed the brake pedal to start the vehicle, I heard an unusual sound that I had not normally heard when starting the car. It was heard from the outside of my car and as well as I felt it on brakes as I pressed it. My neighbor was present and advised me to turn the vehicle off and restart it. After I turned the vehicle off and restarted it, the sound was no longer present. Three days later, while driving the vehicle, I attempted to apply the brakes to slow/stop, but the vehicle did not respond as expected. I pressed the brake pedal in an attempt to stop the vehicle but was unable to stop, resulting in a collision. Because of the unusual sound that occurred while pressing the brake pedal three days earlier and the subsequent loss of braking ability during the accident, I am concerned that there may have been a malfunction involving the vehicle's braking system or a related component. The accident was reported to law enforcement, and the vehicle sustained significant damage. My insurance company subsequently determined that the vehicle was a total loss. I am submitting this complaint so that the incident and the earlier warning sign can be documented and reviewed by NHTSA as a potential vehicle safety issue.

I am reporting a serious safety incident involving the powered rear liftgate of my 2026 Nissan Rogue Platinum. On Tuesday, September 1, 2026, at approximately 9 AM, I was helping my daughter unload her cosmetology case at the Sherman Oaks Galleria. The rear liftgate was open. We were both standing behind the vehicle, facing away from it toward her cosmetology case (which had become unlatched so we were fixing it). No one pressed a button on the liftgate, the key fob, or inside the vehicle to initiate closure. Neither of us intentionally activated the hands-free liftgate sensor. The liftgate began closing and struck the back of my head. It did not reverse upon contacting me and continued pushing downward. My daughter intervened to raise the liftgate by hitting the button. (Audio of incident is preserved on dash cam) An ER visit revealed healed injury with occipital hematoma. I experienced a concussion and neck injury from the lift gate. Followed up with neurology - I was Dx with post concussion syndrome and post concussive headaches. And whiplash. I continue to have headaches, light sensitivity, brain fog and very bad neck pain. Please investigate this. *written with help of chat bc my head hurts and I’m foggy. But my daughter and I both read over this report and it’s correct.
