124 reports2015 NISSAN ROGUE PARKED IN MY GARAGE. I WAS IN DRIVEWAY HEARD LOUD NOISE LIKE GUNSHOT. LOOKED A MY CAR AND SAW THAT FRONT PANORAMIC SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED INTO LITTLE PIECES OF GLASS . THANK GOD I WAS NOT DRIVING AT TIME.
THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM (FCW) DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. I HAVE ROAD TESTED IT BY DRIVING UP TO ANOTHER VEHICLE TO WITHIN WHAT I WOULD CONSIDER A UNSAFE DISTANCE WITHOUT GETTING A WARNING SIGNAL. NISSAN SAYS THE SYSTEM IS WORKING BUT WILL NOT ROAD TEST IT BECAUSE IT MIGHT POSE A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD. (CATCH 22).
MY CAR IS HAVING VERY BAD VIBRATION. IT IS THERE SINCE I BROUGHT THE CAR AND I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES COMPLAINING THE ISSUE AND THE DEALER SAYS THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. WHEN I SHOWED THE PROBLEM TO THE NISSAN MECHANIC THEY SAID THAT IT IS NORMAL WITH NISSAN AND NISSAN DOSEN'T HAVE A FIX FOR IT. THE CU…

MY CAR IS HAVING VERY BAD VIBRATION. IT IS THERE SINCE I BROUGHT THE CAR AND I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES COMPLAINING THE ISSUE AND THE DEALER SAYS THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. WHEN I SHOWED THE PROBLEM TO THE NISSAN MECHANIC THEY SAID THAT IT IS NORMAL WITH NISSAN AND NISSAN DOSEN'T HAVE A FIX FOR IT. THE CURRENT MILEAGE OF MY CAR IS 11200 AND THE VIBRATION INCREASES DURING THE WINTER AND WHEN THE HEAT OR AC IS POWERED ON. I AM WORRIED ABOUT THIS BECAUSE TOO MUCH VIBRATION CAN LEAD TO LOOSENING OF PARTS THAT MIGHT RESULT IN ACCIDENT OR ENGINE FAILURE. 2015 HONDA CRV HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE ISSUE AND IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE FIXED, AND NISSAN DOSEN'T WANT TO LOOSE MONEY BY CREATING A RECALL FOR THIS FIX. THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH ALL THE NISSAN ROGUES. MANY PEOPLE DIDN'T NOTICE THIS AND SOME THINK THIS IS NORMAL WITH THE CAR AS THEY HAVE NOT OWNED ANOTHER NEW CAR BEFORE. THIS ANNOYING AS WELL AS SAFETY ISSUE HAS TO BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION AND PROVIDE A RECALL FOR ALL THE OWNERS OF THE NISSAN ROGUE. AFTER RESEARCHING FOR 2 YEARS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS THE CAUSE FOR ALL OTHER SAFETY PROBLEMS CONCERNED WITH THIS CAR.
THE BLIND SPOT WARNING/ MOVING OBJECT DETECTION DID NOT NOTICE A FIRE HYDRANT. SO I ACCIDENTALLY BACKED INTO IT
THE AWD DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY! THE SALES REPRESENTITIVE TOLD ME THIS VEHICLE WAS AWD ALL OF THE TIME WHICH IT IS NOT. THEREFORE I AM PERSUING THIS... THIS IS AN UNSAFE VEHICLE AS I ALMOST COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE AWD CUT IN AND OUT IN AND OUT, VERY DANGEROUS VEHICLE...
ALMOST 3 MONTHS INTO CAR WHILE DRIVING SPEED WAS LIKE WHEN THE CAR IS IN NEUTRAL(BUT ON DRIVE) & IF I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL NOTHING HAPPENED THEN IT TURNED OFF. I THOUGHT IT WAS A 1 TIME THING, THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN ALMOST 2 MONTHS AFTER, DEALER SAID WE CANT FIND THE PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES THEY COULD NEVER FIND THE I…

ALMOST 3 MONTHS INTO CAR WHILE DRIVING SPEED WAS LIKE WHEN THE CAR IS IN NEUTRAL(BUT ON DRIVE) & IF I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL NOTHING HAPPENED THEN IT TURNED OFF. I THOUGHT IT WAS A 1 TIME THING, THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN ALMOST 2 MONTHS AFTER, DEALER SAID WE CANT FIND THE PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES THEY COULD NEVER FIND THE ISSUE. THEN IT WOULDNT EVEN TURN ON MAKING A LOUD NOISE THEN SAYING KEY NOT DETECTED. THEN AFTER THIS TOWING COMPANY JUMP STARTED CAR, & AT THE DEALER IT HAPPENED TO THEM ONCE. THEY SAID THEY TESTED EVERYTHING BUT CAR WOULD SAY KEY NOT DETECTED. THEN AFTER WE TOLD THEM WE SUBMITTED EVERYTHING TO CORP[ORATE OFFICE THEY SAID IT WAS JUST THE BATTERY & IT DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT THE JUICE IN THE BATTERY WAS ALL DRAINED & SOMETHING ELSE HAD TO CAUSE THAT ESPECIALLY WHEN IT SAYS KEY NOT DETECTED. THAT THEY DON'T FEEL SAFE US TAKING CAR BACK UNTIL THEY CAN FIND ISSUE BUT LUIS AT NISSAN NORTH AMERICA SAID THAT IS NOT WHAT SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD THEM. THAT THEY CAN'T HELP US DOING A BUY OUT FOR THIS DEFECTIVE CAR BECAUSE TO THEM NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. THIS IS A VERY HAZARDOUS AND UNSAFE MATTER AND THE LAST TIME IT TURNED OFF ON ME I WAS IN THE HIGHWAY I45 HAD TO SLOWLY LET IT GO TO THE SIDE ROAD UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO TURN BACK ON. AT THE MOMENT IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE ONLY PERSON TRYING TO HELP & SEEM CONCERN IS DOUG AT SERVICE DEPT.

VEHICLE SIDE WINDOW GLASS RATTLES AND SHAKES WHEN WINDOWS ARE PARTIALLY OPEN. THEY ARE NOT SECURED PROPERLY INTO DOOR FRAME. COULD LEAD TO WINDOW BREAKING OR EXPLODING AT SPEED, CAUSING HEAVY DISTRACTION AND POTENTIAL ACCIDENT. RATTLE VARIES BETWEEN WINDOWS (IN MY VEHICLE, DRIVERS WINDOW IS WORST), SO IT LOOKS LIKE A VARIANCE IN PRODUCTION OF VEHICLE. THE HIGHER THE SPEED, THE MORE THE WINDOW SHAKES.

TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY ABOUT 60 MPH WHEN A SEMI PASSED US GOING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. AFTER HE PASSED THERE WAS A LOUD EXPLOSION. WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT HAD HAPPENED. WE DISCOVERED THAT THE SUNROOF WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED AND GLASS WAS EVERYWHERE. LUCKILY WE HAD THE INSIDE ROOF COVER CLOSED OR WE WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED WITH GLASS. WE THOUGHT A ROCK HAD BEEN KICKED UP BY THE SEMI BUT NO ROCK WAS FOUND. WE HAD PURCHASED OUR VEHICLE ON MAY 14, 2015 AND THIS HAPPENED EXACTLY ONE WEEK LATER ON MAY 21, 2015. TOTAL COST OF REPLACING SUNROOF WAS $1914.07. WE WERE STILL UNDER ASSUMPTION THAT IT WAS A ROCK THAT CAUSED THE DAMAGE UNTIL WE SAW THE WORLD NEWS REPORT ON EXPLODING SUNROOFS. THIS MATCHED OUR INCIDENT TO THE TEE.

1PE24017 · Side Curtain Air Bags May Deploy Inadvertently
Opened May 31, 2024 · No close date supplied
Status: open (inferred from source dates) · Air Bags:side/window:curtain
The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received multiple Early Warning Reporting (EWR) field reports alleging inadvertent deployment of the side curtain air bags in Model Year (MY) 2015 Nissan Rogue Select vehicles. The field reports allege the side curtain air bags inadvertently deploy after the door is shut and/or slammed. Inadvertent deployment of an air bag can cause occupants to be injured or result in the loss of protection from the air bag when needed in a crash. ODI is opening this Preliminary Evaluation (PE) to assess the scope, frequency, and severity of the inadvertent deployment allegations.
