The forward collision warning system (fcw) does not work properly. I have road tested it by driving up to another vehicle to within what I would consider a unsafe distance without getting a warning signal. Nissan says the system is working but will not road test it because it might pose a potential safety hazard. (catch 22).

My car is having very bad vibration. It is there since I brought the car and I have taken it to the dealer 4 times complaining the issue and the dealer says that they cannot duplicate the problem. When I showed the problem to the Nissan mechanic they said that it is normal with Nissan and Nissan dosen't have a fix for it. The current mileage of my car is 11200 and the vibration increases during the winter and when the heat or ac is powered on. I am worried about this because too much vibration can lead to loosening of parts that might result in accident or engine failure. 2015 Honda CRV having the same problem has issued a recall for the issue and it is clear that this is something that can be fixed, and Nissan dosen't want to loose money by creating a recall for this fix. This is a problem with all the Nissan Rogues. Many people didn't notice this and some think this is normal with the car as they have not owned another new car before. This annoying as well as safety issue has to be taken into consideration and provide a recall for all the owners of the Nissan Rogue. After researching for 2 years about this problem I believe that this is the cause for all other safety problems concerned with this car.

Almost 3 months into car while driving speed was like when the car is in neutral(but on drive) & if I pressed the gas pedal nothing happened then it turned off. I thought it was a 1 time thing, then it happened again almost 2 months after, dealer said we cant find the problem. It happened 2 more times they could never find the issue. Then it wouldnt even turn on making a loud noise then saying key not detected. Then after this towing company jump started car, & at the dealer it happened to them once. They said they tested everything but car would say key not detected. Then after we told them we submitted everything to Corp[orate office they said it was just the battery & it didn't happen again. Service manager said that the juice in the battery was all drained & something else had to cause that especially when it says key not detected. That they don't feel safe us taking car back until they can find issue but luis at Nissan North America said that is not what service department told them. That they can't help us doing a buy out for this defective car because to them nothing is wrong with it. This is a very hazardous and unsafe matter and the last time it turned off on me I was in the highway I45 had to slowly let it go to the side road until I was able to turn back on. At the moment is still at the dealership. The only person trying to help & seem concern is doug at service dept.

2015 Nissan Rogue has glare/reflection from interior dash & vent plate covers reflecting in side mirrors & windows causing poor visibility. Interior is dark grey with shiny chrome fixtures which reflects in side mirrors causing distraction, hazardous safety issue. Daytime can see reflection of driver in window. Nighttime the dash panel with it's lights glare outside driver window blocking side mirror view of traffic visibility. Situation is annoying & a safety concern. Nissan dealership refuses to help correct this problem. This is a new vehicle (purchased on 9/16/15) & Nissan should be responsible for driver safety.

Vehicle side window glass rattles and shakes when windows are partially open. They are not secured properly into door frame. Could lead to window breaking or exploding at speed, causing heavy distraction and potential accident. Rattle varies between windows (in my vehicle, drivers window is worst), so it looks like a variance in production of vehicle. The higher the speed, the more the window shakes.

Traveling on highway about 60 mph when a semi passed us going in the opposite direction. After he passed there was a loud explosion. We had no idea what had happened. We discovered that the sunroof was completely shattered and glass was everywhere. Luckily we had the inside roof cover closed or we would have been covered with glass. We thought a rock had been kicked up by the semi but no rock was found. We had purchased our vehicle on May 14, 2015 and this happened exactly one week later on May 21, 2015. Total cost of replacing sunroof was $1914.07. We were still under assumption that it was a rock that caused the damage until we saw the world news report on exploding sunroofs. This matched our incident to the tee.

The problem is that the doors do not unlock until you press the engine stop button. Then all the doors unlock, not just the driver's door. That makes it very easy for car jackers, purse snatchers, and child abductors to wait at a gas station for you to pull up, turn off your engine so you can get out, and commit their crime when all the doors unlock. Obviously the same would be true if for some reason you were pulling into a shopping mall or grocery store parking lot. There is a method to reverse the operation so no doors unlock when you turn off the engine and this is safer, except:..the driver's door lock and front passenger door lock are not mechanically connected the the door handle. Ie, if you disable the auto door unlock, you cannot open the driver's door in an emergency -- like a car fire, heart attack, accident -- unless you can find and release the door lock which has been "aesthetically" hidden in the door and designed so it is not easily opened -- I assume to prevent someone from using a wire to unlock the door. This is the first vehicle I have ever driven that the driver (and front seat passenger) cannot exit without manually finding and flipping the door lock. How insane is that"... I mentioned that none of my american cars had this problem and the mechanic I was talking to said it was only a Nissan thing. No other car that he knows of will not let the driver exit the car by pulling the door handle...his is extremely dangerous and you truly have very little control over your own security in this vehicle. Any person with any kind of even minor hand disability, like arthritis, would have a very hard time unlocking the car doors. The truly crazy thing is that we are talking about, maybe, 5-10 cents of clothes hanger-type wire to correct the problem and potentially save people's lives. Does this violate ada rules".....updated 09/22/15 updated 11/27/2017

6/13/2015 -the key could not be removed from the new leased. After 10 minutes of starting and stopping, the key was able to be removed. Vehicle was driven approximately 36 miles. 6/15/2015 - the key could not be removed from new vehicle a second time. After attempting for over one hour, I contacted the Nissan service department and was told to bring the car in as soon as possible. There was no way to get the key out in the meantime. 6/16/2015 - contacted by Nissan service. The key has yet to be removed from the ignition and they are still trying to determine the cause. The car's mileage at this point is approximately 56 miles.
