Hello, My VIN is not included part of recall which it has for this year. It has same symtom as other vehicles where vehicle slows down while driving. "One of the most common causes for slow acceleration in Nissan Rogue is a faulty CVT valve body, which is part of the continuously variable transmission system. This can cause the car to lose power and acceleration after driving for a long time or in hot weather." Nissan Manufacturer is not willing to listen to me or test it. I need some asisstance.

All headrests in the car became moldy and flaked white powder onto the seats. This car was part of the COVID issues and I was told it sat on a parking lot for approximately a year before receiving a chip. I purchased the car in the summer of 2022. In 2023 I noticed my headrests were getting a white powder on them. In the seams, front, back, and all sides. It was on every single headrest. Moldy headrests can cause many health issues. I had to contact the corporate office as no one was taking it seriously. I have now had all headrests replaced with new ones. They did not detail the interior of the car after replacement. I plan to do this myself.

The panoramic sunroof spontaneously exploded while on the highway. The noise was highly disturbing and almost made us crash because it was so unexpected. A glass company and insurance adjuster have looked at it and determined the whole system will have to be removed. There were no prior warnings.

On around [XXX] around 9-10 pm. I hear a muffled explosion. It even vibrated our house. It scared me and our two dogs. On [XXX] we ran errands in my vehicle. We get home. I open her hatch to get stuff out. I hear broken glass sound. I look up to see her rear window completely shattered. With two holes. One in the same area on either side. The glass actually blew outwards!! I called my local Nissan in Greeneville, TN. They told me to bring it in on on [XXX]. Before taking it in. I googled our issue. Low and behold NUMEROUS 2021 Nissan Rogue owners on a Nissan Forum has had the same issue! Nissan denies that there's been any issues have they had to replace any rear windows due to this. On a Nissan Forum other customers have been denied as well! A company that makes BILLIONS won't accept responsibility. I know one thing. We'll never buy another Nissan for sure. As we had to pay out of pocket almost $500 to have it replaced. Nissan denied ours as I had to tape it all up. Otherwise it would've fallen out into the road. Roughly 2 dozen or more customers can't be lying nor be wrong. Please help us. As I'm pretty sure it's a bad batch of glass. If it were anything else there'd probably be more.

Side view mirrors vibrate to the point of distortion making it harder to see vehicles. The problem is in the pedestal mount attached the doors which act like a tuning fork and need to be updated to wider base pedestals to mitigate vibration like other vehicles that have door mounted mirrors. Please help its very dangerous.

Roof rails are leaking onto A pillar curtain air bags and causing headliner to become saturated above the A pillers on both sides of the car. Water is also getting onto electrical lighting in vanity mirrors. Found a TSB on this, but also found there is a massive problem with this and it should be a recall. Multiple people who own rogues from this year are having this issue. Water could cause damage to airbags, mold in headliner, and electrical issues with upper roof controls and lighting. Made appointment with shop and will present the TSB when I get there.

Intermittent problems with the automatic transmission requiring stopping the vehicle, oft times in traffic, to restart the engine. All too often multiple restarts are required before the transmission works properly. It's a daily problem that occurs at the initial start and after coming to a traffic light. Nissan auto shops have not been able rectify the problem.

I have had several issues over the course of 2 years with the what appears to be an electrical or computer problem with this vehicle. The dashboard will light up and all the warnings constantly display. It is not always the same alert. It has also happened a couple times while I was driving and I had to pull over. Today I had another issue I went to get in my car and there is beeping and flashing and lights on the dashboard, I was also unable to start my vehicle, it progressed to me not being able to unlock or lock the doors, I had to do it manually. This is not the first time this has happened, and eventually I was able to get it started, but not the time. I have also reported the issue to my dealership, but the last time I did, they said they didn't see anything when I took it and that it may be the computer and if it happens again bring it in.

The car seems to keep slipping into neutral while I am driving. If it-??s right when pulling away, It shows the drive light is lit up, I am able to accelerate a little bit, and then I suddenly hear the loud rev of the engine, like when it-??s in neutral. And I have to shift it into drive again(all while the light never appeared in neutral, it remained in drive) It-??s also happened while already driving. I might stop at a light or stop sign, and when I go to accelerate again to drive away, it will make that same sound and I have to push it back into drive, and the light will remain in drive the whole time. I just purchased this vehicle, used. And it-??s starting to make me feel very unsafe on the roads.

UNKNOWN, I had just got off or my 8 hour work shift at 3:30 pm eastern time. I went to my truck/rear hatch to put my stuff in and I notice glass on the ground. I look up and notice 2 holes the size of a soft ball on the bottom right and left corner of my back windshield. The glass was whole back glass was completely shattered. Every time I shut a door on either side of the door more glass shattered from the back windshield. I was park in an area where no cars were within 10 feet of my car the weather was about 80 degrees, we've had much hotter days in VA. There is absolutely no explanation for this besides a malfunction in the windshield being used on the vehicles. Upon my own research I have discovered this same incident has happened to many other Nissan owners with the damage to the wind shield looking identical, it the same exact spots.

This vehicle was purchased new without disclosure of any recalls. When I checked the vin a few months ago it showed as haveing 5 recalls, some of them major. When I checked recently it showed as having O unfixed recalls. The dealer never fixed the recalls and is running me around to even schedule. I didn-??t think they could sell new cars with open recalls?
