2011 Nissan Rogue

The contact owns a 2011 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that she had initially taken her vehicle to Leachman Buick GMC Cadillac (2012 Scottsville Rd, Bowling Green, KY 42103) for an oil change, but upon return of the vehicle, the horn failed to operate as needed. The contact had taken the vehicle back to the dealer and was referred to a Nissan dealer for assistance. The contact had called the dealer and was informed that there were no recalls on the vehicle. Upon investigation, the contact discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V032000 (Electrical System) which she linked to the failure. The contact made multiple attempts to reach the manufacturer however, each attempt was unsuccessful. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

Drove home, while attempting to park, (car was in motion) vehicle stalled & steering locked, lights on dash flicked off, radio went off then came back on. This happened 4 times while I attempted to park. Finally parked vehicle successfully & turned car off. This happened several times in recent months but only for a few seconds also on another occasion was unable to turn steering wheel once vehicle was on. Tonight was the worst experience, alarming. I plan to take SUV in for check up tomorrow.

Im having issues accelerating since i purchased the car, the transmission is bad , there is cut electric wires by the brake and gas pedal. When breaking there's knocking, pinging, the brakes shakes. I almost got into 4 accidents with my family and child. I was told by dealer it was the reg gas i put in the tank but then got carfax history and seen a mechanic and was told transmission is bad the light is on dash. At 25mph the rpm jumps up and down. Gas tank reads incorrectly.

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, THE CAR CAUGHT FIRE UNDER THE HOOD NEAR THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT. THE HEADLIGHT WAS REPLACED THE DAY BEFORE THE INCIDENT. THE HEADLIGHT WORKED WHEN INSTALLED BUT WAS NOT WORKING BY THE NEXT EVENING. THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHTS HAVE NEEDED REPLACING MORE OFTEN THAN THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT (A 3:1 RATIO OR A 4:1 RATIO). THAT RATIO MAY INDICATE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. HEADLIGHT BULB WAS A NAPA BP1255/H11LL-N. OUR CAR TOOK AN H11 BULB. THE LL STANDS FOR LONG LIFE.

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE POSTED ON THE INTERNET THE SAME PROBLEM ( THIS WAS HOW I DISCOVERED IT WAS THE CLOCK SPRING). NONE OF THE CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL WORK AS WELL AS THE HORN DOES NOT WORK. WHEN YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT ( I RELIEVE IT'S TO THE LEFT) THE HORN WILL THEN WORK. I FIND THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE I CAN NOT ALERT ANOTHER DRIVER USING MY HORN. I'M LESS CONCERNED ABOUT THE CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL WORKING. FROM THE RESEARCH I HAVE COMPLETED I AM NOT SURE IF THIS PROBLEM AFFECTS THE AIR BAG OR NOT. I BELIEVE THERE IS A WIRE HOOK UP TO THE AIR BAG. *TR

THIS LAST TIME TO THE NISSAN IN MY AREA, I HAD THEM LOOK AT MY PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR, AS THE SENSOR INDICATES OFF, EVEN IF THERE IS NO WEIGHT ON THE SEAT. MY SERVICE ADVISOR AND THE HEAD OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT BOTH SAID THAT IT'S NOT CLEAR IF THE AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY IF THE SENSOR IS OFF. THEY SAID I COULD GET IT REPLACED, BUT THE ISSUE IS: IT WILL COST $2,600 BECAUSE THEY NEED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE SEAT. COME TO FIND OUT, THIS IS ACTUALLY AN ISSUE REPORTED TO THE NHTSA FROM OTHER 2011 ROGUE OWNERS. I AM THE PRIMARY DRIVER IN MY FAMILY, BUT NOW I AM WORRIED TO TRANSPORT ANYONE. IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL, BUT THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT CAN CAUSE ME TO SELL MY VEHICLE AND NOT GET ANOTHER NISSAN. I AM NOW WORRIED OF GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT AND KNOWING FULL WELL MY AIRBAGS, THE ONE THING BUILT INTO THE VEHICLE TO KEEP PEOPLE SAFE, MAY OR MAY NOT DEPLOY, AND MAY OR MAY NOT KEEP PEOPLE SAFE. $2,600 TO FIX A CAR DEFECT ISN'T AN OPTION FOR ME. PLANNING A FUNERAL FOR SOMEONE WHO CHOOSES TO RIDE IN MY FRONT SEAT ISN'T AN OPTION EITHER. I AM TRULY AT A LOSS FOR WHAT TO DO NEXT, BUT I AM HEARTBROKEN THAT IT'S COME DOWN TO THOSE TWO OPTIONS. I WANTED TO KEEP MY ROGUE FOR A FEW YEARS MORE - I LOVE IT, BUT SAFETY IS MY NUMBER ONE PRIORITY. I WISH SAFETY WAS A PRIORITY TO NISSAN TO MAKE THIS A RECALL, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE PROFITS HAVE SURPASSED CUSTOMER SAFETY. THE SENSOR HAS BEEN ON FOR MONTHS, BUT THE FIRST TIME THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE.

TAKATA RECALL I'M HAVING MY CAR TURN OFF WHEN I TURN IT WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN I TURN THE BLINKERS THE RADIO TURNS OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING AS WELL WHETHER ON THE STREETS OR THE FREEWAY. MY CAR HAS TURNED OFF ON MY WHILE IM ON THE ROAD ON IT'S OWN AS WELL. I RECEIVED THE ACSD STEERING SWITCH CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION CODE ON MY CAR ENGINE LIGHT.
