There are 6 owner-reported steering complaints for the 2022 Nissan Roguein NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
On the left side of the steering wheel there is a group of Settings buttons with a pressure sensitive dial, called the OK button, that controls which menu you choose. The button no longer allows me to select a menu option because the depression sensor does not spring back. For instance, if I want to adjust the driver assistance options, I need use the OK button to scroll through the options to find the setting I want, then depress the OK button to select it. However, the OK button sticks with the slightest pressure instead of scrolling. This makes it impossible to change or adjust any of the safety features and there is no other option to manually adjust them. I am unable to turn on the blind spot warning and lane departure warning. I was trying to adjust the auto light settings, but I could not scroll to the correct option. My lights were stuck in the "OFF" mode which makes driving very dangerous.

Tie rod on passenger side of car broke after pulling out of driveway. dealership mechanic stated the rods were previously bent which caused it to break. I biggest issue about this, the car was at the dealership 6/23/25 because the car went into limp mode and abe lights were coming in. They did a final inspection and did not report the tie rod was bent.
buttons such as the selector wheel on the left side of the steering wheel stick and it keeps wanting to cycle through settings because of it. There is no way to pop it back out, and it remains stuck. From reading online many people have had this issue and the only thing Nissan will do is offer to supply you with a new steering wheel. One person has a 2023 and they are on their third or fourth steering wheel because of this issue and Nissan will do nothing to fix it. it is ridiculous that cars this now have this problem and people keep having to pay for out-of-pocket. We are shortly outside of our warranty and are stuck dealing with this now.
Car engine light came on and the vehicle automatically slowed itself down to 20 mph as I was in a 45 mph zone, with multiple traffic behind me. No warning!! A hazard sign lit and the MIL lit up, saying there is an emissions control system malfunction and to immediately take the car to a repair station. NissanConnect also sent me a text at 5:12 Saturday night, all repair stations closed. This was very dangerous and the system should not have taken over complete control of the car at that very instant, leaving me completely unable to control the car. It was out of the blue, and I’m still shaking.
