Additionally included are 2019 Nissan GT-R and Taxi and Infiniti QX50, QX60, Q70, Q70L vehicles. The back-up camera and display settings can be adjusted such that the rear view image is no longer visible and the system will retain that setting the next time the vehicle is placed in reverse.

Complaints are unverified owner reports to NHTSA and are not normalized for sales volume. One complaint can cite several components.

“While driving the automatic brake stopped the car while turning in a curve. However in another incident I was cut off and brakes did not automatically stop. The brakes works when they want too. Not reliable or safe. Separately, the steering wheel randomly squeaks while turning. It doesn't do it often, every other month or so I will hear the speaking sound.”
“While driving underneath an overpass immediately, followed by an intersection, as I accelerate through the stop lit intersection in the early hours of the morning, my Rogue’s forward collision, alert flashes yellow, and white, and I lose acceleration. It feels as if the car shifted to neutral and there is a grinding, which I believe is the automatic emergency, breaking system, attempting to slow the car. This is happened to me twice in the last month. The car was taken to Nissan Service where they performed a diagnostic and did not seem to be able to find any kind of error.”
“The fuel-filler door release/latch on my 2019 Nissan Rogue repeatedly fails to unlock. This problem has occurred intermittently for more than one year. When I stop to refuel, I sometimes have to press the fuel-door release button more than 30 times before the latch finally releases. There are no warning lights or messages before the failure. This could leave me stranded and unable to refuel the vehicle, including during an emergency or in an unsafe location. The vehicle is stationary when the failure occurs. There was no crash, fire, injury, or police report. The issue has not yet been confirmed by a Nissan dealer. The vehicle and failed component are available for inspection upon request.”
