While driving in the rain on July 11, 2023 and for the first time I encountered rain dropping into the inside of my vehicle from several different places in the front windshield of my vehicle. The rain was falling profusely onto the gearshift area which caused me to multitask and try to cover the area to prevent any damage. I was able to get off the expressway and make it to the gas station where I took several pictures and videos. There were no warning lights or signs on my vehicle. There was an additional issue earlier this year when my car would not accelerate over 35-40 mph and when it did the car would shake badly. The car would just randomn make loud sounds and force a hard push before the accelerations. I took it to a Nissan dealership to find out the transmission had to be replaced. While driving the vehicle it steers toward the right. I also have noise from the bottom of the car and it appears there is something loose or dragging which causes making a left or right turn hard.

Nissan has Not properly sealed the exterior of this car exposes the customer to extensive weather damage to the motor, electrical and the cabin of the car. Owners of this car has already hhad safety issues because of the root problem the car is not weather protected from it's inception. I'm not the expert but you have to weather seal a house and you must weather seal your cars because they are in the elements reagularly. No customer at the point of sale and no salesman can assure that the car is properly protected from water getting inside the car! That is an issue that the manufacturer should ganuantee. Ive owned numerous cars and water leakage into the cabin or motor has never been a problem. This should be a national recall to address the water leakage problem. This water breach has also caused mole and mildew to grow on the inside of the car.

The trunk lift gate opens then closes. The safety feature in which it will open if it is close to coming into contact with an object does not work. Sometimes the malfunction is delayed and if an individual is reaching into the trunk, it will come down on their head and possibly close them between the liftgate and the trunk. The trunk was inspected by a Nissan service parts place and they said it coded for needing new spindles which is a $1300 part that is on national back order without an eta. This presents safety issue because it can cause head injury and possible body injury if a smaller sized individual gets closed between the liftgate and the trunk.

I was driving on highway at approximately 60 mph, when the hood opened spontaneously obstructing my view, and greatly increasing my likelihood of a catastrophic crash. I was able to see under raised hood, due to a built-in gap, and safely exit highway. When closing, damage sustained to body surrounding hood. There were no audio or visual arms that such an event would occur, nor that the hood may have been open. No police report was filed at the time, and a mechanic is evaluating now. (I was the driver, but am not the owner of the vehicle. Owner is dealing with mechanics at this time.)

Front passenger door handle not opening door. You have to try more than a few times before or actually opens. Very scary if we need to exit the vehicle in case of an emergency. I realized this about a week after I bought the vehicle.

The panoramic moonroof on my car spontaneously shattered while I was driving on 10/8/2020. It was about 2:00 pm on I4 in Florida, and driving at hightway speeds. There were no other vehicles near me at the time. No rocks, or overpasses, etc that could have dropped a rock. It is the large, rear panel.

In 2017 Nissan Rogue there is corrosion/rust at the connection between the lift gate support strut bracket and vehicle body. The rear lift gate strut provides power to assist rear lift gate mechanism and operates under pressure. If the interface is insufficient or the structure is compromised due to rust it may cause failure of the lift mechanism. It could result in inability to open or close the lift gate but more importantly result in bodily injury. I have been in contact with Nissan to report the issue and guidance to remedy the issue. My claim was denied as I was informed by Nissan that the rust described above is not covered under warranty as I am 2 months and 10,000 out of coverage.

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that massive amounts of corrosion was found underneath all four seats, and around the brake and accelerator pedals. The contact called Nissan of rockwall (1700, I-30, rockwall, tx 75087, (972) 961-9888) and scheduled an appointment. The contact stated that each time the vehicle was driven and made turns, the driver's seat felt as if it were coming apart or disengaging from the weld of the vehicle due to the corrosion. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided case number: 61535259289. The failure mileage was approximately 23,000.

I have been noticing water accumulation under the drivers side seat and also fogging on the windshield in front of the drivers side. This is all happening during summers. I have removed more than a gallon water already and it keeps coming back I think.

I purchased my car brand new in March 2018. It has less than 7700 miles on it. On July 30, 2018, I was at a red light (completely stopped) on a dry city street, with my foot on the brake, when my car suddenly lunged forward into the vehicle in front of mine. Despite my foot remaining on the brake, the engine continued to rev until I took my foot off the brake and reapplied. I purchased the safety package for my car, and not only did the brakes fail, but the safety package, that is supposed to prevent a collision, also failed.

I have had my pearl white 2017 Nissan Rogue sl for about 9 weeks now and it seems like I am having issues with the paint in the vehicle. I am not sure if the paint on the car is very thin or that if it is very cheap but I do everything I am supposed to be doing in taking the car as I always love to be in a clean and great looing car. I wash the vehicle once a week, I drive a good distance away from behind other vehicles on a regular road & the highway especially, but it seems like I get a paint chips on the hood every day. No matter what I do. At the end of the day, I take care of it to the point that I have my wife complain to me about how much I take care of it. Again, I am not sure if the paint is thin/cheap or not but it seems like it not fair to have paid close to $400 extra for premium paint and be having this problem. I also have done some research online and it seems like it is an issue. Funny that no one has reported it here in the past. I guess there is a first for everything. I with Nissan can fix this problem asap. In regards to my issue, I just want my car with better protection. I always ask myself... can I just drive my car without getting a chip"?"
