Ac and heater. Lower portion of the passenger side blows out cold air. Unknow why but seems like I am missing a part off of it or why did it go out so fast. I have seen online that this vehicle has many complaints and the system and I don't know why it has not been recalled yet. Labor and the way the economy is right we people can not afford high prices labor to get vehicle fix.

The rear passenger door on the driver's side will not open from the inside. I have had adjustments of this door for improper closing twice and now we can't open it from the inside. Obviously we are stopped when attempting to open the door.

Rogue

Car is just a little of 3 years old with 37K miles and it's begun to show rust on several parts of the frame already. In multiple spots, the paint on the frame was chipping away and rust was visibly pushing it's way through. In one particular area, it was several inches wide. Thought this was abnormal for a 3 year old car!

Rogue

  • 10,000 miles
Rear hatch supports/hydraulics are not opening properly. They make loud scraping noises and you have to physically hold the gate to ensure it doesn't fall. The vehicle is stationary during this issue. There is a recall on others for the same problem but my VIN is not included when obviously it should be. It started when the car was one year old.

Respected officer, driver's side seat belt chime not working if seat belt is not latched - I am noticing happening for about 1 year. Engine is making lot of vibration and sound when idle - this is happening shortly soon after I bought this car 08/2015. There is a moving object detection system which sometimes work and sometimes does not work - I am noticing this for about the last 4 months. Below I put a date of 10/1/2015 reflecting the engine problem. Thanks

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.

Rogue

  • 31,500 miles
My Nissan Rogue is 2 years old with 31,500 miles. I was accelerating onto the highway on rt 2, near exit 59 in Massachusetts on Tuesday 3/20, and the engine in the car turned off while accelerating, going about 55 mph. I was able to pull over to the shoulder safely. I tried multiple times to restart the car, but the engine was completely dead. I had the car towed to marlboro Nissan, where I purchased the car. They confirmed that the car still would not start when it arrived at the dealership. The next day, it started and they could not replicate the issue. They want me to take the car home with no explanation and no fix. I feel completely unsafe getting back behind the wheel of a car where an engine just turns off for no reason. I am told by Nissan corporate Consumer Affairs that they will not be able to help if they can't replicate the issue a second time. This is dangerous, and I am at a loss with what to do next. Getting back in that car on a highway puts not only myself, but other drivers around me at risk for a fatal accident.

Rogue 4-cyl

  • 30,046 miles
The car had been parked 6:30 P.M. in private driveway. At 2:20 a.M. I was alerted by my neighbor. He had seen through the woods a fire, called the fire dept. He thought our house was on fire and ran over to see if we were ok. It was not our house but our 2015 Nissan Rogue.when he woke us the car was totally engulfed in flames. The fire dept arrived minutes later and it took awhile to put the fire totally out. Nothing remains of the car except the framing. I had purchased this car six months earlier with 20,000 miles. It had just turned 30,000 miles. There was no sign anything was amiss, no warning lights, odd sounds, nothing. We live in a rural area, wooded miles off the main road so I do not suspect this was done by human hands. I can only image this was some sort of electrical short that was slowly simmering for hours. The car had only been driven home (20 mile trip) and parked. The fire occurred 8 hours later. There was nothing flammable around the car. I fully believe the car self ignited during the eve. I called Nissan to report this before I even called my insurance agent. I asked for an investigation. If this car had been parked in the garage I could have also lost my home and my family. I doubt this is an isolated incident, and I fear others my not be so fortunate as to loose only the car and no other damages. The car has been taken away and is to be investigated March 23,2018.

It is a known issue that has been recalled on other models but not mine apparently. The hood latch issue, my hood shakes uncontrollably while driving over 65 miles an hour. You can visibly see the hood shaking it is loud and it is very scary thinking the hood might blow off the car

I was driving and my sunroof exploded spontaneously. Bridgewater Nissan and Nissan cooperation said it was due to impact, even though they could not prove it. I had to report it to my insurance to cover the damages. Nissan could not even support a valuable customer and pay for my deductible.

Rogue

  • 66,000 miles
Vibration on driver side. First time at 45 mph on highway. Second time while at a drive through pharmacy and entire car shook, seats vibrated so hard I thought they were going to take off into space at any second. Idle corrected but vibration still there, only not as bad. Third time I was told a vibration could not be felt. Second service mechanic finallyad!itted itwas the cvt and there was no fixing it. This all happened between September and November 2017 with four visits to the dealership. This auto was just purchased and I tried to get it fixed before the 90 day warranty ran out

problem #19

Rogue

  • 30,000 miles
This is not a failure at this time but more of a safety concern. The windshield of our Rogue 'concave' is the area around the rearview mirror (this can be seen in the attached photo - note the distortion of the reflected image of the trees within blue circle). When you press on the inside of the glass that distorted area slight 'flexes' - suggest a weak point in the glass. I have video can email but too large to attached herein. Dealer / Nissan says this is normal - I say its a 'failure waiting to happen'. I have look at other similar Rogues and do not find the same issue as noted here. Thanks for your attention and look forward to your response. I would also like to note: The dashboard of this car illuminates along with day time driving lights when engine is started. Here is the problem with this - in the evening the lite dash gives the driver the impression 'all lights are on' - and yes the day time lights are bright enough to drive at nite - but all the tail lights / main head lights are off. To prove this as a potential problem - so far I have seen 3 Rogues driving on the highway with no tail / head lights !
