- ELECTRICAL SYSTEMNHTSA 23V093000Feb 16, 2023
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: 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.

Reliability verdict for the 2018 Nissan Rogue
With a 77/100 score against a 75/100 segment average, the 2018 Nissan Rogue lands slightly above typical reliability for its class. That points to generally solid performance in the index, but not a standout result. The recall count is elevated, which adds complexity to the ownership profile even with an above-average score.
Complaints are not confined to a single system. They cluster most heavily around service brakes, with additional concentration in “unknown or other,” electrical system, and forward collision avoidance reports, while power train concerns appear less prominent. This spread suggests a broader mix of reported problems rather than one dominant weak point.
Overall risk level: moderate, slightly better than segment average but with elevated recall activity.
