Problem overview

Some Nissan Rogue owners report experiencing issues where the engine remains on despite there being no key connection, often attributed to a malfunction in the ignition system. A common cause is a faulty ignition switch, which may fail to detect the key's turn, resulting in the engine staying on without a key. Owners are advised to check the ignition switch by inserting and removing the key several times to see if it makes contact; if the issue persists, replacement may be necessary. Additionally, some owners encounter starter problems, where a worn-out or damaged starter motor fails to engage the flywheel. It is recommended that owners have their vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic if they suspect an ignition malfunction, as prompt resolution is crucial for safe vehicle operation.
