Rogue

  • 39,000 miles
I have already registered a complaint involving equipment failure and safety. My 2015 Nissan Rogue does not have interior heat even when the controls are set at 90 degrees. In trying combinations of air-flows as instructed by my dealer, I had to look down to make sure I was pushing the right buttons. Talk about distracted driving. When I looked back up, I had just enough time to slam on my brakes so that I would not rear end a logging truck (that was about a 1/2 to full block away when I first looked down) definitely a safety issue in my mind. More importantly: Last night I was driving home from a night class (about 7 miles). Weather conditions were light snow and light freezing mist. Had my temp. Set at 90 degrees and controls at full defrost and full fan blower. My windshield continued to ice up because of lack of heat to melt the freezing mist. Visibility got so poor I difficulty seeing through my windshield. Tried to control the vision by spraying windshield washer fluid using wiper controls. This helped. I cannot believe there has not yet been recall for this heating problem. Especially since there are so many other drivers that I have read about on the internet that have experienced the same problems of lack of heat. Between being a distracted driver trying to continually change control settings as well as an unsafe driver due to visibility issues as explained earlier, I believe there should be a recall making this a Nissan repair issue rather than a consumer repair issue (cost). I hope you can help me and many others.

Interior heat barely warm with temp set at 90. Dealer reprogrammed air door positions & heat lasted 1 day. 2nd visit to dealer instructed to change flow positions (switch from outside air to cabin recirculation). Windows steamed up; told use ac to dry out air. Would like to see a recall for these safety concerns: 1. playing around with buttons to change air flow is distracted driving, having to keep looking down to see which button to try next to get heat to clear window steam (driving city blocks or down the freeway while looking at which combo of heat control buttons to try next) 2. with cabin circulation turned on, windows can stam up suddenly like driving thru fog, until I locate the defrost button, but then I lost heat. 3. safety concern with putting on defroster and not having heat with winter driving; it is scary to have snow falling & although there is enough air to clear steamed windows, there isn't enough heat to melt snow/ice etc. From windshield. Surfing the internet, I see I am not alone with this issue. I also learned there is a service bulletin for faulty or improper operation of HVAC. The price to repair this is nearly $700 if the car is no longer under warranty. Although this may seem like more of a "comfort" issue than a safety issue in keeping interior temperature reasonable, but when a person keeps the setting at +90 degrees and the air blowing out is barely warm, when the windows steam up because of improper air circulation, and when a windshield cannot be cleared of snow or ice creating poor visibility while driving, then I believe this is a safety issue that warrants a recall.

The air conditioning regularly stops working and will blow out warm air. We have taken the vehicle to dealerships and mechanics and they cannot replicate the problem as it requires some period of driving before it will stop working. Sensors and wires have been replaced. Coolant level is fine and this has been happening over the past two summers.

Recall 16V-244 malfunction of occupant classification system electronic control unit: System does not recognize adult in passenger seat. Nissan "fixed" this system in 2016. It may have been working properly before their "fix". it is now not working and has not been working properly for quite a while and Nissan North America will not "fix" it again, as they expect me to pay the diagnostic fee at a minimum. I will not agree to that. They need to conduct the diagnosis at their cost and fix the recall again. This action by Nissan North America smells like a scam. What should I do? last contact with nna was on 2/19/18

Rogue

When sitting in running vehicle at drive-up locations such as fast-food restaurants, bank, or atm, a violent static shock discharges when upon first touch of a metal surface or when making physical contact with the window attendant. This is a strong, audible shock that can be painful for up to 10 minutes. The other person usually exclaims aloud and recoils. Dealer has checked all electrical systems and has tried anti-static spray on seats with no results. This is not a result of my personal chemistry, as I have no problems in my other two vehicles. This problem has occurred ever since the vehicle was new, and happens 100% of the time. The Rogue only has 21,000 miles now (Sept 2017).

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that the air bag off warning indicator illuminated while the seat was being occupied. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was serviced per NHTSA campaign number: 16V244000 (air bags), but the failure recurred. In addition, when the front driver and passenger side windows were rolled up or down, the windows hesitated to operate and an abnormal clicking sound emitted from the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the window regulators needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 19,000.

The car has a keyless operation. After service an reprogramming for a cvt issue, the engine failed to start after sitting in the garage overnight. In order to start, the brake must be engaged before pushing the start button. This did not work and the start engine light did not come on. Pushing the start button resulted in clicking noise but the solenoid (if this car has one) did not engage. After trying several times and turning lights on and off, the car starts. I am concerned that the ignition would disengage while driving. Once the vehicle started, it did not shut off until I turned it off; but I haven't tested driving it. The car never did this until the computer reprogramming done this past Thursday February 24th when I had the car service before leaving on a trip.

I don't know how to explain other than saying it seems car is not grounded correctly. When I use atms while sitting in car I get a painful shock. Tried several locations to see if that was the problem. Now open door rather than reach through door window. Really a strong shock. The car is running bit either in drive with brakes on or park.
