I have not had a wreck because of this, but it does affect the ability to drive this car at times. The HVAC blend door on this car will strip out and in the winter you cannot switch it from cold air to hot air. So you have to freeze while driving and if it starts sleeting or your front window starts icing up or fogging up you cannot defrost it because there is not hot air. This seems to be a common issue for Nissan Rogues as you can find many forums with people discussing this issue on different year models. I've tried using JB Weld plastic epoxy as some have mentioned to hold the motor from slipping in the hole but over time it breaks down and strips out again.

The backup camera periodically freezes when you put the vehicle in reverse. Other times, the screen will stay black or just show the Nissan logo until you cycle power. The safety of all inside the vehicle and around the vehicle is at risk when the backup camera feed freezes, especially if the operator doesn't realize the feed is frozen. This vehicle is currently operated outside of the US but will be available for inspection upon return. The issue is intermittent so it has not been reproduced in the presence of any service center. There were no warning messages involved.

The driver side wiper arm stopped working on Sunday, January 16, 2022. The wiper motor and passenger side wiper were still functioning. The wiper arm was checked for damage Thursday, January 20 and none found. The nut holding the arm to a threaded shaft was found to be very loose. The nut was tightened and the wiper arm was repaired. Today, Sunday, January 23, the defect reoccurred. The nut was tightened again. However, this defect is clearly a safety hazard given the driver's side wiper clears more than half the windshield.

Car was bought in March 2018. Around 1 month into driving the car the radio and dash display starting doing its own thing. One would say radio on, the other radio off. At times, the connection menu would come and freeze. Got into the car and started it and the cd started playing loudly, which was strange as when I parked and got out of the car I always turn the radio off. Blind spot indicator failed several times when passing a tractor trailer. While driving at night with a storm coming the headlights and dash lights went out along with lights going dim for no reason several other times. Had one instance when pulled the wipers to clean the windshield, the sprayer worked but the wipers did not. Alot of electrical issues. Took to dealer 4 times in a month so they could "duplicate" the problems, I advised that there is no pattern to these problems. They told me to call Nissan usa in Tennessee, I did and went back and forth and they sent a Nissan tech to the dealership. He didn't drive the car and advised we delete all phones from the car and drive it that way for a few weeks. All problems still going on. Nissan usa called today and said to go back to the dealer, the case is closed and the dealer maybe can work with us on it. They reassured me that we still have the warranty so these problems are still covered. All instances happened whether driving, starting or parking the car. So 4 trips, 2 rental cars and 2 days of missed work in a month and driving what we feel is an unsafe car.
