2018 NISSAN ROGUE — Complaint #2169165
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about Chest Clip, Buckle, Harness filed January 23, 2026
NHTSA complaint #2169165 (ODI reference 11712852) concerns a 2018 NISSAN ROGUE and was filed on January 23, 2026. The owner reports the failure occurred on January 23, 2026. The report was geocoded to Pennsylvania based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as chest clip, buckle, harness, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same NISSAN ROGUE cohort independently describe similar chest clip, buckle, harness failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2018 NISSAN ROGUE shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
This seat is part of Recall Campaign 24C-002 (Unintended Harness Release). I performed the manufacturer's approved remedy (installation of the fabric debris shield/cover) a few months ago. THE REMEDY HAS FAILED. despite the installation of the shield and ensuring the mechanism is clean, the harness retractor still slips without the button being pressed. The manufacturer's mitigation kit does not resolve the safety defect. The seat remains unsafe for use.
