I DROVE 10 MILES AND SHUT THE CAR OFF FOR AN HOUR THEN GOT BACK IN AND ENTERED THE FREEWAY TO GO HOME. I DROVE A COUPLE MILES AND LOST ACCELERATION. AT 70 MILES AN HOUR ON THE FREEWAY MY CAR WAS ACTIVELY DECELERATING WHILE I WAS PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL. I LET OFF NOT KNOWING WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND THE CAR SEEMED TO ACCELERATE SOME OR COASTED MORE FREELY. I STEPPED ON THE GAS AND THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AGAIN. I REPEATED THIS A COUPLE TIMES BEFORE DECIDING I HAD TO PUT HAZARDS ON AND PULL OVER. I AM SO GRATEFUL I DIDN'T GET REAR ENDED AS I HAD SLOWED DOWN RAPIDLY WITH OUT ANY BREAK LIGHTS TO WARN OTHERS. WHEN I PULLED OVER AND PUT IT IN PARK THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (MALFUNCTION LIGHT) AND ALSO THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON. IT WAS TOWED AND HELD OVERNIGHT UNTIL IT COULD BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP (APPARENTLY NOTHING CAN BE DROPPED OFF WHEN THEY ARE CLOSED). *TR

AFTER STOPPING AT A SERVICE STATION MY HUSBAND PULLED ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND WAS ACCELERATING TO THE APPROPRIATE SPEED AND THE CAR JUST GOT STUCK AT 6500 RPM'S AND 60 MPH. IT STAYED THAT WAY FOR ABOUT 5 MILES,WE COULD SLOW DOWN BUT THE RPM'S WERE STILL STUCK AT 6500 AND THE ENGINE WAS MAKING A HORRIBLE SOUND, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND SEVERAL TIMES WE HAD TO RIDE THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. WHEN WE FINALLY REACHED THE ROAD WE LIVE OFF OF MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND TURN WHILE TURNING THE AWFUL NOISE GOT A LITTLE LOWER BUT A NEW NOISE WAS HEARD, A WHINING SOUND. AFTER TURNING, THE CAR LOST ALL GAS, NOTHING HAPPENED WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS PUSHED AND THEN FINALLY IT STARTED TO GO AGAIN. WE ARRIVED AT OUR HOME MY HUSBAND OPENED THE HOOD AND TOLD ME TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR A LITTLE AND THEN HE SAW SMALL PUFFS OF SMOKE. I SMELLED SOMETHING LIKE BURNING RUBBER WHILE SITTING IN THE DRIVERS SEAT AND MY HUSBAND SAID HE SMELLED SOMETHING SWEET UNDER THE HOOD. THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW ON JANUARY 4TH, 2014, IT HAD 25 MILES WHEN PURCHASED. THE MILEAGE ON JANUARY 11TH WAS AROUND 500. THIS IS A DANGEROUS VEHICLE, I AM WAITING ON THE DEALERSHIP TO CALL AND LET ME KNOW WHAT THEY FIND. *TR
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2014-2020 Rogue and 2017-2022 Rogue Sport vehicles equipped with a jackknife style ignition key. The jackknife key may collapse into a folded position while driving.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Driver contact with a key in the collapsed position could inadvertently shut off the vehicle while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, if the vehicle shuts off while driving, the air bags may not deploy in a crash as intended, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: Dealers will insert a spacer into the key slot of the jackknife key, free of charge. Interim notification letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed March 29, 2023. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed August 30, 2023. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall is R22C5.

Consequence: Corrosion in the electrical connector can result in power window/seat failure, all-wheel-drive warning light illumination, battery drainage, and electrical connector damage that increases the risk of a fire.
Remedy: Dealers will remove the harness tape and harness covering and replace both connectors and apply white lithium grease to the connectors as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 23, 2022. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall is R21B9.
