2013 Nissan Rogue

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY WHILE OCCUPIED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000.

WHILE TRAVELING WITH AN 85 POUND PASSENGER IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE FOR APPROXIMATELY 10-15 MINUTES INDICATING THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS "OFF". IT WILL THEN FLICKER BACK ON AND OFF AGAIN. THE PASSENGER IS NOT MOVING AROUND IN THE SEAT, AND SEATBELT IS USE PROPERLY. I TESTED MY THEORY THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS MALFUNCTIONING BY HAVING A 50 POUND CHILD SIT IN THE SEAT, WITHOUT MOVEMENT, WHILE THE CAR WAS STATIONARY. THE LIGHT CAME ON, AGAIN INDICATING THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WAS "OFF" AND THEN WITHIN 2-3 MINUTES FLICKERED BACK INTO THE "ON" SETTING INDICATING THAT IT WOULD DEPLOY IF IN A WRECK. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP TO ASK OF WEIGHT RESTRICTION AND ALTHOUGH THEY DIDN'T KNOW THE INFORMATION OFF HAND, I AM TO TAKE IT IN FOR SERVICE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING IN TEMPERATURES UNDER 40 DEGREES THE INTERIOR WINDOWS FOG WITHIN MINUTES OF BEING IN THE CAR WHEN THE HEAT IS ON. TURNING ON DEFROST AND OPENING THE WINDOWS DOES NOT HELP. I'VE HAD TO PULL OVER NUMEROUS TIMES TO PREVENT A CAR ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE VISIBILITY IS SO BAD. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE WORSE AT NIGHT, BUT DOES HAPPEN DURING THE DAY TOO. WHEN THE WINDOWS APPEAR TO BE CLEAR AND THE CAR IS LEFT OUTSIDE FOR AT LEAST 30 MINUTES, WHATEVER MOISTURE IS LEFT IN THE CAR FREEZES TO THE INSIDE OF ALL THE WINDOWS CREATING A LAYER OF ICE. IT HAS TAKEN WELL OVER 30 MINUTES AND EVEN CLOSE TO AN HOUR TO GET IT TO CLEAR ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE. BUT ONCE YOU BEGIN DRIVING AGAIN THE FOG ALMOST IMMEDIATELY RETURNS. THERE HAS ALSO BEEN UNEXPLAINABLE MOISTURE IN THE CARPETS AS WELL AS IN THE SPARE TIRE COMPARTMENT. DURING A 3 HOUR CAR TRIP THERE WAS A LAYER OF ICE ON ALL THE WINDOWS THAT NEVER CLEARED THE ENTIRE TIME, DESPITE THE CAR BEING WARM, DEFROST ON, AND IT BEING SUNNY WEATHER. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN SIX TIMES TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG. *TR

STARTED TO GET A CLICKING NOISE IN STEERING WHEEL WHEN TURNING TO LEFT OR RIGHT. STARTED HAPPENING AROUND 16,000 MILES. TOOK IN TO A NISSAN SERVICE CENTER TO HAVE CHECKED. THE RESPONSE WAS THAT NISSAN CORP. WOULD NOT ALLOW SERVICE CENTER TO "JUST REPLACE PARTS". DEALER TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO? DON'T BE CONCERNED. I HAVE A VERY UNEASY FEEL WHEN DRIVING THE CAR. WAITING FOR THE CLICKING TO BECOME AND ISSUE IN CONTROLLING THE STEERING OF THE CAR. IF THIS CAR HAD THE CLICKING NOISE WHEN I TEST DROVE IT I WOULD HAVE NOT PURCHASED IT. NEW CAR, $30,000 AND EVERYTIME I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL I CAN HEAR A CLICK AS WELL AS MY PASSENGERS. *TR

THE 2013 NISSAN ROGUE I WAS DRIVING WAS STRUCK A GLANCING BLOW STARTING FROM THE CENTER FRONT THROUGH THE DRIVER'S FRONT LEFT QUARTER PANEL AND DOOR. THE FRONTAL IMPACT WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO BREAK THE FRONT SUPPORT EXTRUDED STEEL BRACE IN THREE PLACES AND DECIMATE THE GRILL, LIGHT, BUMPER, QUARTER PANEL AND DOOR SKIN. THERE ARE TWO PROBLEMS I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT. ONE THE SIDE IMPACT AND SEAT AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL; HOWEVER THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG DID DEPLOY SLOWLY AFTER THE IMPACT. IT DID NOT COMPLETELY DEPLOY UNTIL AFTER I EXITED THE VEHICLE. THE SECOND ISSUE IS THAT WHILE THE SEAT BELT PREVENTED ME FROM GOING THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD, THE MECHANISM IN THE SEATBELT IS ALSO DESTROYED. THE VEHICLE THAT STRUCK ME HAD THEIR AIR BAGS TO FULLY DEPLOY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS I UNDERSTAND THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2011 - 2012 MODELS. THANK YOU. *TR..UPDATED 11/13/14 *BF UPDATED 7/28/2015 *JS

APPOX. 40 MILES A HOUR, I OPENED REAR DRIVER WINDOW OR REAR PASSENGER WINDOW THE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE. AT 50 MILES AN HOUR THE CAR SHUCK VIOLENTLY AND MY HEARS EXPERIENCED PAIN. I FEEL THIS IS A UNSAFE CONDITION AND I WAS NEVER TOLD ABOUT OR WARNED NOT TO OPEN THE BACK WINDOWS IF GOING 40 OR FASTER IN TOWN OR ON THE HIGHWAY! *TR

A DAY BEFORE THE INCIDENT, THE MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON IN MY CAR ON THE DASHBOARD. THE NEXT DAY, ABOUT ONE MILE FROM HOME, I STOPPED ON A HILL AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT WITH SEVERAL CARS AHEAD OF ME. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I MOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARD. IT WOULD NOT GO INTO DRIVE EVEN THOUGH THE GEAR WAS IN DRIVE. AFTER TRYING ONCE MORE UNSUCCESSFULLY TO GET THE CAR TO MOVE FORWARD, I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, PUT ON MY FLASHERS AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. I RESTARTED THE CAR, AND PUT THE GEAR IN DRIVE AND IT WENT FORWARD BUT SOMEWHAT HALTINGLY. I SLOWLY PROCEEDED TO THE NISSAN DEALER ABOUT 2 MILES AWAY. EACH TIME I STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE ENGINE SOUNDED FUNNY. TODAY, THE NISSAN DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IN THE TRANSMISSION THAT THEY CAN'T REPAIR. NISSAN USA IS REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION UNDER WARRANTY. I FIND THIS OUTRAGEOUS THAT A NEWLY PURCHASED CAR OF 5 MONTHS WITH LESS THAN 5, 000 MILES HAS A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, SHE ATTEMPTED TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE ENGINE RPMS INCREASED AND AFTER REPEATED PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO INCREASE SPEED. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOUR TIMES. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. ON A SEPARATE OCCASION, A ROARING NOISE EMITTED OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD WAS ADJUSTED AND THE MOTOR MOUNT REPLACED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. IN ADDITION, A SPECIALIST PERFORMED AN INVESTIGATION AND THERE WAS NO RESOLUTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,822.
