Affected Years: 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 Nissan Rogue. Our law firm is also investigating 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026 Nissan Rogue for the same issues.
These issues seem to arise from defects in the Jackknife Folding Key/Ignition Switch.
The majority of our vehicles depend on technology today. From the configuration of the suspension to navigation, the failures seem more frequent for various reasons. Mechanical health is one of the items that seems to fail more often than not. The fragility of some of the components seems to be the biggest factor. Replacing springs and struts on some vehicles with an airbag and compressor system seems to be a leading cause of suspension issues. Other examples, like the infotainment systems being reliant on communication technology and the navigation system depending on the communication system, all share the same approach. There is a significant reliance across systems in our vehicles now.
Most consumers have heard of cars being called lemons, usually because the vehicle seems to have a long list of things wrong with it.

The Key Points Of Lemon Law In California
California Lemon Law was originally known as the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. It was passed into law in March of 1971. The goal was to offer the consumers in California support when manufacturers were unable to fix a problem and uphold their warranty. To accomplish this, it established an obligation to replace or refund any item that they were unable to fix under the terms of the warranty offered. Known for its use and reference to automobiles, people are surprised to learn that it also covers a variety of other consumer products like homes and appliances. The law from 1971 remains the foundation of Lemon law today and still provides consumers the protections and remedies they need if they have issues with a product and its warranty.
Beyond the qualifications and restrictions mentioned above, there is one other item that limits your rights as a consumer. The Statute of Limitations, recently updated in January of 2025, limits the time a Lemon Law claim or lawsuit can be filed in, directly related to your warranty and delivery dates. If you need a Nissan Rogue engine shut off Lemon Law lawsuit filed, call Guardian Lemon Law.
The Time Limit To File A Lemon Lawsuit In The State of California
The time limit for making a Lemon Law Claim or filing a lawsuit has two different target dates. The first date is 1 year from the expiration of the original factory warranty, and the second date is 6 years from the date of vehicle delivery to you. The time limit that applies will be the earlier of the two calendar dates, and any action must be filed before that date.
The Symptoms And Experiences Of The 2014-2020 Nissan Rogue Ignition Shutoff Events
For 2014-2020 Nissan Rogues that unexpectedly lose engine power while driving, the leading cause is a major manufacturer recall on the jackknife folding keys. Some of the other common causes also include faulty engine sensors, failing fuel pumps, or loose battery connections.
The jackknife key recall details are straightforward. Nissan issued a massive recall covering over 700,000 Rogues because the folding, switchblade-style ignition key can weaken and fail to stay fully open. If the key is partially folded while driving, the driver’s knee or hand can accidentally brush the fob and turn the ignition to the “off” position. Nissan provides a remedy to permanently fix or replace the key fob mechanism. Look up your vehicle identification number (VIN) on the NHTSA Recalls Lookup or check with a local dealership to see if your Rogue is affected and have the repair done for free.
If your key is fine or the recall has already been addressed, the unexpected engine shutdowns can also be traced to various mechanical or electrical failures. Some of these are:
- When crankshaft or camshaft sensors go bad, they send incorrect timing data to the vehicle computer, leading to sudden stalls occurring with a higher frequency
- If the fuel pump fails or gets clogged up from lack of maintenance, it starves the engine of fuel and causes the vehicle to die while in motion
- Loose or heavily corroded battery terminals will disrupt the electrical current, instantly shutting off the engine
- If the transmission’s torque converter clutch sticks, it can drag down the engine and stall the vehicle when slowing down or coming to a complete stop
