The heat does not work. I live in Illinois and the heater/defrost is essential for safely operating the vehicle. With no defrost, my visibility is impaired and it is not safe to drive. When we had our first cold snap a few weeks ago (Nov 2022) I turned on the heater but only cold air blew out. If I had needed to defrost the windows it would not have worked and I would not have felt safe driving. The Nissan service department said it is the heater core case/HVAC and needs to be completely replaced. This is a factory defect and Nissan should issue a recall. There have been several complaints about this problem.

No heating on drivers side. During winter cannot clear windshield for driving. Consider this a safety hazard as we cannot see clearly enough when driving vehicle in inclement or cold weather. Took to mechanic who advised it was a -??bend door actuator-?? that needed replacement. Once he got involved, it turns out to be a stripped plastic gear in the heater box. To replace the heater box, the entire dashboard has to be removed which is unheard of on a 2015 car that has not hit 60k in miles. Bought this new, and car has been garaged and properly maintained since purchase.

The spindles (Nissan's word) that control the tailgate fail without warning. when the tailgate is opened from outside or inside it opens all the way but when I step up to the car's rear compartment, the tailgate came down on my head. I took it to the dealership and they told me that the spindles were on back order. That indicates to me that the problem is widespread,

I would like to know when the remedy will be ready for NHTSA RECALL 22V-024. I called Nissan today and was told they didn't have a date. They escalated my concern about driving a vehicle that a fire could start in and where would I be if that happened. It is not possible for me to not drive as I commute 40 minutes to work. Will Nissan replace my vehicle if it catches fire? The recall notification said the fix would be available Spring 2022. This was far from an inexpensive vehicle and I am not currently in a position to not drive it or have it catch fire.

Outside Temperature Sensor indicates -40'F. This causes the AC to blow hot air even when set to 60'F during the summer. It may cause driver or passenger to overheat. AC problems on 2015 Rogues are the most common problem. Cost to replace AC Auto Amp. is approximately $900.

I received a recall in January 2022 and at the end of May 2022 the parts to correct are still not available"? I have contacted my dealer twice. Why would a company issue a recall and not have the material to repair"

Air conditioning stopped working causing the windshield to fog up and limit visibility. Defroster is ineffective without air conditioning. Systemic air conditioning problems exist in 2015 and 2016 Nissan Rogues. Countless vehicles have been brought to dealerships for repairs that don't fix the problem. Nissan acknowledges the problem but does not provide a bulletin to dealerships on how to correct the problem. This is a dangerous flaw.

As I was driving on the highway, my vehicle stopped driving forward and operating as if it was in neutral. My vehicle started rolling backwards on the road so I turned into the shoulder. I turned my car on and off to see if it would correct and it did not. Now, the Nissan dealership is replacing the entire transmission.

My 2015 Rogue has a heating issue. The heat is only warm on passenger side. This also means the defrost doesn't work which can cause issues of seeing the road in rainy or snowy conditions.

The windshield wiper recoil off has s leak and it drips into the blower for the heater and freezes. When this happens, the heater does not work at all. This causes visibility issues as the defrost/heater will stop working while you-??re driving.

My car vibrates while idling when either air conditioner or heat is on (but only when the car is idling; waiting for light to change and not when moving. When my car was under warranty I reported this to my Nissan service repair mechanic when car was under warranty and was told that was normal. I purchased a car in 2016 and now in 2022 it is still happening. Just need to make sure I-??m safe and that car won-??t blow up or something. Thank you.

Had brakes checked because of grinding noise..break pads or still new.He said rotors have pits all over them and that's where noise is coming from. Doesn't exactly know reason for it. I never experienced this with any other vehicles I've had before.

The transmission started to fail at 70,000 miles. I am now getting a full replacement at 90,000. I have owned the car the entire time and have been adamant about changing transmission fluid and oil. At 75,000 miles my transmission started to slip at 75 MPH, slowing me down to 30 MPH on a highway. A snowplow almost rear ended me and there was no where I could go as it was a blizzard. Since and before, it has jerked pretty hard, shutting in traffic and while driving highway speeds. It is ridiculous and dangerous to have this as issue in a relatively new car. It should be illegal to sell defective cars and Nissan needs to be held accountable.

I was driving on the highway with my one year old child and with no warning lights my transmission stopped working the rpms were going out of control and I couldn't drive the car. We were lucky to get out of that situation safely. I contacted Nissan about the transmission codes recall and asked if it would be covered they said yes. I went in with the vehicle and they told.me the transmission would need to be replaced. The car is in perfect condition and shouldn't have these issues. Specially with NO warning. Nissan has tip toed around this issue with me. I did my research and posted to social media to find out SO many more have had this exact issue in older and newer models and Nissan has refused to take responsibility for there faulty CVT transmission. They are still putting them in vehicles leaving it to the consumer to fix. These transmissions need to be recalled before more families are effected by this. I have been back and forth with corporate Nissan for a week now and they are telling me in order to SEE if I qualify for financial assistance Nissan will need to diagnose and fix the car and It is not guaranteed they will help with costs. Instead of fixing the problem they are making me jump through hoops. They KNOW about this issue as the complaints on the BBB are constant and consistent with my situation. Please take my incident into consideration and stop Nissan from producing death trap family vehicles.
