Nissan Rogue 2019 automatic liftgate malfunction when activating foot sensor on Nissan Rogue

Problem overview

Some Nissan Rogue 2019 owners report experiencing issues with the automatic liftgate, particularly when attempting to activate the foot sensor. These problems often stem from a depleted key fob battery, as the vehicle requires either an unlocked state or a charged key fob to detect proximity. Additionally, owners have reported concerns such as weak hinges, faulty control modules that prevent the liftgate from opening, and corrosion on liftgate supports, which could lead to breakage. In cases where the liftgate button is unresponsive, it may indicate an electrical issue, prompting owners to check the key fob battery, inspect the interior button for damage, or use the manual liftgate handle as an alternative.
