Your Rogue uses a folding "jackknife" key that flips open like a pocket knife. The key can fold shut on its own while you're driving. If it folds while it's in the ignition, bumping it with your hand or knee can shut the vehicle off in traffic. On top of that, if the vehicle shuts off, the airbags may not go off in a crash. The dealer fixes this by putting a small spacer in the key so it can't collapse.
On some Nissan Rogue Sport vehicles, the seat belt has a locking feature that is supposed to hold a child seat tightly in place. That feature may switch off too soon, so the belt no longer keeps the child seat firmly secured. This doesn't meet the federal rules for protecting people in a crash. Dealers will replace the front passenger seat belt, and if needed, both of the outer rear seat belts as well.
On certain 2021 Rogue Sport wagons, the hinges that hold the rear liftgate — the big door at the back — can break away from the body in a rear-end crash. Because of that, the vehicle does not meet the federal safety rule for doors staying shut in a crash. If the hinges let go, the liftgate no longer protects people inside the way it should. A dealer will replace both hinges.
The backup camera and display settings can be adjusted so the rear view image no longer appears — and the system keeps that setting the next time you shift into reverse. That means the screen can stay blank when you back up and you cannot see what is behind the vehicle. Because of this, these vehicles do not meet the federal rear visibility rule. A dealer will update the camera settings software for free.
