2011 Nissan Rogue

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY AND STALLED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE MALFUNCTION WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MODERN NISSAN OF LAKE NORMAN (18615 STATESVILLE RD, CORNELIUS, NC 28031), BUT COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

MY CAR WOULD NOT START UP. ALL GAUGES WERE FLUTTERING AND FLICKERING, DOOR LOCKS WERE LOCKING AND UNLOCKING RAPIDLY, THEN THE CAR WENT DEAD. GAVE IT JUMP AND IT STARTED. NEXT DAY IT DIED AGAIN, GAVE IT A JUMP AND IT STARTED. WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT SHUT OFF SUDDENLY AND COMPLETELY, GIVING ME NO TIME TO STEER. THE CAR WAS DEAD AGAIN. REPLACED THE BATTERY AND PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. VERY DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING AND HAVE THE CAR JUST STOP COMPLETELY. I'M LUCKY I WASN'T HIT.

YESTERDAY I WAS DRIVING TO WORK IN THE CITY TOOK A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO A BUSY STREET BESIDE THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY STEERING WHEEL TOOK CONTROL AND PULLED THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT I NEARLY CRASHED INTO A GUARD RAIL. I PULLED THE WHEEL BACK TO THE LEFT AND WAS ABSOLUTELY FREAKED OUT BY WHAT HAD HAPPENED. LAST EVENING ALL OF A SUDDEN I TURN MY CAR OFF GO INTO A STORE COME OUT AN HOUR LATER AND NOTHING AT ALL WHEN I TURNED THE IGNITION KEY. NO LIGHTS NO DASH LIGHTS NO NOISE AT ALL IS WAS AS IF BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. NEW BATTERY INSTALLED 4 MONTHS AGO. I THOUGHT I MAY HAVE LEFT SOMETHING ON AND CAUSED THE BATTERY TO DRAIN, HOWEVER, A FEW MINUTES LATER THE CAR DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP ON ITS OWN WITH THE KEY STILL IN THE IGNITION BUT NOT TURNED ON TO THE START POSITION. I TURNED THE KEY AND THE CAR STARTED. THIS MORNING I WENT TO LEAVE FOR WORK, SAME THING CAR ABSOLUTELY DEAD. I CHECKED UNDER HOOD, THOUGHT PERHAPS LOOSE CABLES TO THE BATTERY. I CHECKED AND SAW NO LOOSE CABLES I WIPED AROUND THE AREA WITH A PAPER TOWEL GOT BACK IN CAR TURNED KEY AND THE CAR STARTED. I DRIVE TO WORK IN BOSTON PARK THE CAR IN MY EMPLOYEE PARKING GARAGE AND GET OUT OF THE CAR AND WENT TO AUTOMATICALLY LOCK THE DOORS AND NOTHING. NO SECURITY LIGHT ON INSIDE OF THE CAR, TOTALLY DEAD AGAIN! I'M WONDERING IF THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH MANY OTHER NISSAN'S AS I READ ONLINE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE. HAS THERE BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE? WHAT IS THE ISSUE? I NEED TO GET THIS RESOLVED PLEASE. I CAN'T HAVE A VEHICLE THAT IS UNDEPENDABLE ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM MAKING CAR PAYMENTS ON THIS VEHICLE EVERY MONTH. IT IS RATHER SCARY THAT THIS MAY BE AN ELECTRICAL OR STEERING ISSUE FOR SAFETY REASONS. THE CAR WENT OUT OF CONTROL ON ITS OWN YESTERDAY.

DOOR LOCKS THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE DO NOT LOCK/UNLOCK AS THEY SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY (DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND BOTH BACK PASSENGER DOORS). HAVE TO MANUALLY LOCK/UNLOCK. IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY OF AN ACCIDENT/FIRE ETC., THE DOORS WOULDN'T UNLOCK IN ORDER TO GET INFANTS, TODDLERS AND YOUNG CHILDREN OUT OF THE VEHICLE IN A HURRY. IF I WERE BEING FOLLOWED/STALKED, I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO LOCK ALL MY DOORS FOR MY OWN SAFETY. BELONGINGS IN MY VEHICLE ARE AT RISK. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL TO GET THIS SAFETY ISSUE RESOLVED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. JUST LOOK AT THE LOCK PROBLEMS ON ALL FORUMS ON THE INTERNET WITH VARIOUS NISSAN MODELS. ESTIMATE OF $500 PER DOOR TO FIX EACH ACTUATOR IS INSANE. I DO NOT HAVE OVER $2,000 TO FIX SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY NISSAN. AT FIRST, I WASN'T SURE WHAT WAS GOING ON. AFTER LEAVING/LOCKING THE VEHICLE AND THEN RETURNING, ONE OF MY PASSENGERS WOULD PULL ON THEIR DOOR OR I'D PULL ON THE DOOR HANDLE ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND MY ALARM WOULD GO OFF. I HAD LOCKED/ALARMED THE CAR WHEN EXISTING BUT THE DOORS WERE NOT ACTUALLY LOCKED SO WHEN YOU RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE AND PULLED ON DOOR HANDLE YOU WERE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR (DUE TO LACK OF LOCK ACTUALLY LOCKING) WHICH CAUSED THE ALARM TO SOUND. PAYING CLOSER ATTENTION TO SEE IF IN FACT THE LOCKS WERE LOCKING/UNLOCKING WHICH THEY WERE NOT. WHEN I ARRIVE AT DESTINATIONS, TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, THE DOORS REMAIN LOCKED AND I MANUALLY HAVE TO UNLOCK BEFORE I CAN EXIT THE VEHICLE IS ANOTHER INCIDENT IN WHICH I REALIZED THERE WAS A PROBLEM.

WHENEVER YOU OPEN THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE THE TRUNK OPENS ON ITS OWN, I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS BECAUSE THE LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD WOULD TURN ON AT FIRST I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY BUT SOON DISCOVERED THAT THE TRUNK DOOR WAS OPEN AND IT HAPPEN EVERY TIME YOU OPEN THAT SPECIFIC REAR PASSENGER DOOR ON DRIVERS SIDE. IT IS UNSAFE BECAUSE I DO CARRY ITEMS IN THE BACK LIKE GROCERIES AND SUCH AND IF I WOULDN'T OF FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS SOMEONE BEHIND ME COULD HAVE BEEN HURT DUE TO THIS.WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE I DID LET THEM KNOW AND THEY FIXED IT BUT NOT EVEN A YEAR HAS PASSED AND IT STARTED TO OCCUR AGAIN I'M NOT SURE IF THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG ELECTRONICALLY OR HOW THESE TWO DOORS ARE CONNECTED BUT IT OCCURS EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU OPEN THAT SPECIFIC DOOR.
