THE CAR BLIND SIDE WARNING WILL CONTINUE TO GO OFF EVEN THEN THERE AREN'T ANY CARS AROUND. THIS CAUSES MORE OF A DISTRACTION THAN A SAFETY FEATURE. THIS WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALERS ATTENTION 3 TIME WITHIN THE FIRST 2 YEARS OF OWNING THE CAR. THE ISSUE HAS CONTINUED TO GET WORSE. THE DEALER SHIP STATES THEY FIXED THE ISSUE, HOWEVER IT IS HAPPENING MORE OFTEN THAN IT EVER HAS. BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED THEY SEE THAT THERE IS DIRT/DEBRE ON THE CAMERA BUT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT THIS TO FIX IT. THE BLIND SIDE LIGHTS GO OFF IN RAIN, SHINE, SNOW AND WHEN NO ONE IS AROUND.

I HAVE ALREADY REGISTERED A COMPLAINT INVOLVING EQUIPMENT FAILURE AND SAFETY. MY 2015 NISSAN ROGUE DOES NOT HAVE INTERIOR HEAT EVEN WHEN THE CONTROLS ARE SET AT 90 DEGREES. IN TRYING COMBINATIONS OF AIR-FLOWS AS INSTRUCTED BY MY DEALER, I HAD TO LOOK DOWN TO MAKE SURE I WAS PUSHING THE RIGHT BUTTONS. TALK ABOUT DISTRACTED DRIVING. WHEN I LOOKED BACK UP, I HAD JUST ENOUGH TIME TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES SO THAT I WOULD NOT REAR END A LOGGING TRUCK (THAT WAS ABOUT A 1/2 TO FULL BLOCK AWAY WHEN I FIRST LOOKED DOWN) DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE IN MY MIND. MORE IMPORTANTLY: LAST NIGHT I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM A NIGHT CLASS (ABOUT 7 MILES). WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE LIGHT SNOW AND LIGHT FREEZING MIST. HAD MY TEMP. SET AT 90 DEGREES AND CONTROLS AT FULL DEFROST AND FULL FAN BLOWER. MY WINDSHIELD CONTINUED TO ICE UP BECAUSE OF LACK OF HEAT TO MELT THE FREEZING MIST. VISIBILITY GOT SO POOR I DIFFICULTY SEEING THROUGH MY WINDSHIELD. TRIED TO CONTROL THE VISION BY SPRAYING WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID USING WIPER CONTROLS. THIS HELPED. I CANNOT BELIEVE THERE HAS NOT YET BEEN RECALL FOR THIS HEATING PROBLEM. ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER DRIVERS THAT I HAVE READ ABOUT ON THE INTERNET THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEMS OF LACK OF HEAT. BETWEEN BEING A DISTRACTED DRIVER TRYING TO CONTINUALLY CHANGE CONTROL SETTINGS AS WELL AS AN UNSAFE DRIVER DUE TO VISIBILITY ISSUES AS EXPLAINED EARLIER, I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL MAKING THIS A NISSAN REPAIR ISSUE RATHER THAN A CONSUMER REPAIR ISSUE (COST). I HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME AND MANY OTHERS.

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.
