The sunroof of the 2017 Nissan Rouge has drains that are very inadequate and in my opinion defective. My 2017 Nissan Rouge had white mold growing in the carpet of the floor board before I discovered the floor board was wet under the mats (which were mostly dry.) There was no warning or instructions that the sunroof drains had to be cleaned periodically. This mold growing under the mats is a clear health hazard in the air inside of this car. It goes undetected for some time because the leak is insidious and not under any sort of recall. I have had cars with sunroofs for years and never experienced any sort of leak problem like this

It seems the 2017 Nissan Rogue, as well as almost all other years of that make/model have a defect in the drainage system for the sunroof. The drain lines clog which leads to water accumulating significantly under the floor of the car. The initial indicator of this is a wet floor, not that big a deal. However, the water cannot drain at all from under the floorboard so it remains wet, which leads to mold and mildew. it also can lead to rusting the connections of the front seats with the floor board that quickly rots since it is permanently soaking wet. The health issues of breathing in moldy air in an enclosed vehicle are significant and the rotting floorboards that can lead to a seat being dislodged are also concerning. There are numerous examples of this online. The dealer is aware of the problem but does not believe it is their problem to address. Nissan and the dealer feel it is a maintenance issue where the car owner must clean out the drain tubes twice a year. There is nothing in the owners manual indicating this is a requirement or a necessity. Warranty will not cover it since they feel it is a maintenance issue.

My 2017 Nissan Rogue has 39,000 miles on it, after I bought out my lease a few months ago I noticed in warmer weather and when the engine and transmission are good and hot, I am having trouble accelerating. I do hot highway driving and longer city driving once we start having to do traffic lights and or stop signs I have noticed that my car will not accelerate, I push the gas petal to the floor and it will barely move, and the transmission makes noise and will not shift. I have to pull over and let it cool for a bit in order to get moving again. I have taken it in for service twice and they cannot get this to replicate and have told me there is nothing wrong with my car. This last time I picked it up after they had it for two days and it occured the very next day. No warning lamps lights or messages appear when this occurs. I feel this is a very big safety issue, if I do not get going at the proper speed at a light or stop sign I may get rear ended. It concerns me that they cannot seem to find what is wrong as it continues to repeat over and over again.

The transmission is faulty and when driving in the freeway or even the streets I would notice that the car starts to jerk back and forth. Secondly I believe it unsafe whenever turning at high speeds the car feels as if it can tip over. Within my first month of purchasing the car there was tons of engine problems.

Stopped on 95 N to pay toll. When exiting toll booth, the car would not accelerate to normal highway speed causing cars to almost run into the back of the car. Was only able to travel a few miles before the car would not go anymore. There is power to the vehicle, but the engine won't engage. Had to have vehicle towed 40 miles to my destination. It is still not operational.

My 2017 Nissan Rogue is still under factory warrant and I purchased an extended warranty. On 9/30/2019 my Nissan Rogue was missing and stalling so I took it to my mechanic (alpine automotive Inc., 5495 w. Mississippi ave. Lakewood, co 80226. A diagnostic was run on this vehicle producing code P1715 input speed sensor primary speed PO776 oil press solenoid B. found service bulletin ntb16-11ol that indicated the vehicle needs a valve body and reprogram. Unfortunately this mechanic deleted the codes and this has hindered getting my transmission fixed under warranty because Nissan will not work on my vehicle until they get a code from their diagnostics. This is putting me in harms way because I operating this vehicle which is defective, stalls at stop lights and will not accelerate unless I floor board the accelerator. I have called Nissan headquarters and they will not return my phone calls, even though I have opened up a case with them. As this vehicle deteriorates, I am going to be in danger driving this vehicle. Can you please intervene and help. My complaint is not against alpine auto, but Nissan headquarters as they will not allow the repairs to the transmission because they cannot see the codes when they do a diagnostic. There is documentation that these codes indicate a repair is needed and Nissan is allowing me to drive a defective vehicle and putting me in harms way. I am attaching the invoice from alpine automotive Inc. Which clearly indicates the codes found. My vehicle is in my garage.

2017 Nissan Rogue sl - platinum. Forward impact collision sensor has been having issues for ever a year now. It was in the shop at the dealership the week after I bought it for this issue. The car brakes on its own and wont let you drive forward. I have taken it to the dealership and reported it to Nissan usa multiple times, and have multiple cases open. The dealership has had it in their shop 8 times soon to be 9, which is 8-9 full days in the shop (taking it in next week to get done again). They are now refusing to replace/fix the part for free. The car has this problem when I am trying to drive. It has happened on back streets, highways, turning left, turning right. It senses something that isn't there and errors out and stops. 10-30 seconds later it lets you go again. This has been happening between March 2019 and May 2020 nonstop reprogrammed multiple times replaced sensor 1X (replacing for the second time next week so 2X total replacements on part) re-calibrated multiple times computer updated multiple times.

My car is Nissan Rogue 2017.5. I am facing an issue related to automatic emergency break malfunction. The emergency break was applied without any reason while I was going in parking garage, passing under bridges, and crossing railroad. Sometimes the forward emergency break warning light was blinking without any reason even when the car was parked. I called Nissan consumer affaires on this issue. I was told to go to the dealer. I took my car to the dealership for 5 times. They did sensor change two times. First time they did front sensor change. Second time they did steering sensor change. Other times they tested and told there is no issue as they were unable to replicate the issue. This issue is not being happened frequently. Last night I faced the same issue. I do not know how to proceed further.
