Air bags are common problem. It can be googled. Ours stopped working. When braking the steering wheel shakes bad. Got fixed and came right back week later. Common problem. O2 sensor needed changed cause when slippery road indicator comes on car won't accelerate over 25 mph. Have to cut engine off wait for seconds and cut back on and its fine. Oil leak is where everyone online said there's is. There should be recall on these things it hurting environment n dangerous for drivers on the road.

My son was driving at a highway speed of 55 out of Lawrence, KS. He noticed left headlight flickering and starting to smoke. He immediately pulled over and exited the vehicle. At that point, the whole front of the car was engulfed in flames. Very dangerous. I can provide pictures but for some reason the upload information won't allow me to do it here. Fire department had to put it out and was a total loss.

As I am steering, the horn goes off at any moment for a long period of time distracting many drivers and scaring them half to death on the road ! This is an incident that has been going on for a while, and there are many other people that I have came across with the same problem. This is my only car and I have no idea who to turn to, but the amount of money for a Nissan that is in great condition and has never been in an accidents seems to have allot of electrical failures.

One year ago I had the transmission and computer replaced on my 2012 Nissan Rogue SL, after losing driving power SEVERAL times WHILE DRIVING. To both my and my mechanics amazement, this did not solve the issue! My mechanic traced it back to the engine wiring harness. Nissan claimed to not have any of the required wiring harnesses in stock, and for the life of us we could not find a replacement online. After some research, we came across NHTSA Recall Number15V-032. We were again amazed to learn that my car was not included in the recall, but other 2012 Rogues were. My mechanic went wire through wire, and after 6 months of issues and over $6,000 in parts and labor, I was back on the road. Fast forward to today, I am now dealing with the same issue AGAIN, except this time I was traveling on the PA Turnpike with 3 other passengers when my check engine light turned on and the car lost all power. This car is not only a money pit but a MASSIVE safety issue. I wish I had done more research into the disaster that is Nissan & their early model CVT Transmissions. The NHTSA needs to step in and expand these recalls and class action lawsuits to ALL year models, not just a few.

SRS air bag light was on, called dealer, light stayed on, CVT transmission has issues, electrical problems while driving, car will decelerate and stop without warning. My safety is at risk everyday, the car can stop at anytime without warning, airbag deployed. The dealership has not found any problems that they are willing to be accountable for. The vehicle has not been inspected before or after accident. Check engine light was on, transmission was replaced twice at my own expense. SRS light was on before accident.

The driver seat would not come back up after I used the recline button. There is no sound when I push the button to raise seat back up from the reclined position. The side airbags on driver seat back are not able to protect me if there is an accident. I do not use the recline function often so I don't have a history if when it stopped functioning.

There are a few things that I would like to report. I have mentioned these to dealership service centers and have been ignored in the past. I financed my vehicle in November of 2018. Everything was fine at first when soon after I started noticing that my blinkers, blink fast. I went in to get the bulbs changed and they were still blinking fast. One person said it could be electrical. Soon after that all of my dash lights stopped working. Then most concerning is that my passenger door just stopped working from the outside it won-??t open from the outside you can hear it unlocking it can only be opened from the inside Now the driver door is Doing The same exact thing making this an extreme safety hazard.

At 60,000 miles the car had a cvt replacement. 70,000 miles later car needs second transmission replacement. Nissan is aware of their faulty cvt transmissions, but refuses to comply. Car is immaculate aside from cvt failure, not accidents. Used as station car. Car stalled in intersection. Luckily I was able to get to side of road. Very traumatizing

The vehicle body gives electrical shorts when you it's suddenly turned off. Also the cooling system blows hot air few months after I bought it. This happened when the vehicle was in motion.

My car makes a loud screeching noise while I drive. It stops and starts when my speed changes (I'm assuming when gears change) and stays for an extended period of time.

I reported a fire complaint back in the summer to you on this vehicle. Now my accelerator just suddenly quits working. I reported this to downtown nashville Nissan around June 2019. They said no code came up. It has since been happening more and more. Twice when I was trying to get on the interstate. Two weeks ago it happened five times in a row and wouldn't go over 30 mph. When I would let completely off the accelerator and push it again it jumps like all of the energy busts through at once. I have since done research and this is a very common problem. My vehicle still only has less than 59,000 miles on it. This is a very serious safety issue. I am sure people have had to have died because of it but since they are dead they can't report it. I have multiple sclerosis and it makes the safety issue even worse. I can't walk very far if I get stranded. If I don't get rear ended on the interstate before that happens. Nissan is very aware of this. Even Rogues with 8,000 miles are doing this. It isn't a matter of just being stranded somewhere. Vehicle was moving every time on interstate and city streets. The vehicle won't show a code to the dealer so they say I have to take a video with my foot pushing down on the accelerator and showing the speed that I am going. Never mind that I am driving down the road on the interstate in a vehicle that is failing. The date I am giving you is just the last time it happened.

Anytime you try to start it, it can be started during the second try, sometimes you can smell smoke when you are driving. There is an electrical malfunction somehow.

My car failed inspection due to a defective mass air flow. I have just changed the mass air flow, and my car still continues to show the check engine light. The vehicle drives really slow the gas mileage is terrible,

My Nissan Rogue 2012 caught fire. Upon starting the car when the ignition turned over, the ignition coil caught fire! the vehicle was stationary and in the shop and I had brought it in as the check engine light went on. The mechanic stated it steemed from the electrical harness. There is a current recall for Nissan Rogue involving a problem with the electrical harness from 3/7/07-11/26/13. I was told that my VIN was not involved by the dealer and called Nissan to find out if my VIN could be added. I was told that it wouldn't be and that Nissan had "no liability". I am just thankful that I was not in the vehicle as I had read that other people had their car, as well as others, catch fire and the back of their house and or garage! this was extremely scary! I am concerned that it might happen again when I drive it. I am very dismayed that Nissan didn't look into the problem. They could not tell me what part was involved in the recall of the other vehicles, despite me asking and they stated since it was not taken to a dealer they would also not add it to the recall. They also stated since I had not taken the Rogue to a Nissan dealer, they could not add it to the recall! I have driven Nissan for over 20 years. My 1990 Nissan stanza was part of a recall. At the time the vehicle cost me $1500 (I was a struggling grad student) and had never seen a dealer until I learned of the recall. How can we hold them responsible for a huge safety issue when they did not even investigate or call the shop? they simply refused to take action or consider the fact that VIN numbers that were not listed in the recall could have been affected. I am very disheartened in the manner in which they provided the response (an "oh well" type of attitude) to an issue that was this serious! it is not the money, but the fact that if I was in it, I could have lost my life!

I have had some battery issues since I purchased this vehicle. I purchased it used from a dealership. I have had to jump it off several times and have the battery replaced at least twice. Last time I had warranty so I didn't have to buy a new one. However I did still have to pay to get it installed.

The contact owns a 2012 Nissan Rogue. While driving over 30 mph, the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) warning indicator illuminated. The dealer (valdosta Nissan Cadillac, 3685 inner perimeter rd, valdosta, ga 31602, (229) 242-7325) was notified of the failure more than twice, but was unable to replicate and diagnose the failure. The dealer later indicated that the sensor needed to be replaced for the rear passenger tire. The sensor was stated to have been replaced by the dealer's mechanic, but the TPMS indicator remained illuminated after the repair. The vehicle was not repaired again. The manufacturer was notified and stated that they would follow-up within 48 hours. The contact had not heard back from the manufacturer. The VIN and failure mileage were not available.
