2016 Nissan Rogue

WHEN SHUTTING THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR THE SUNROOF EXPLODED. NISSAN WOULD NOT COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY SAID THE SUNROOF MUST HAVE PREVIOUSLY BEEN DAMAGED. IT IS ON TOP OF THE CAR, NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO BE DAMAGED BY ANY DEBRIS FROM ROAD SINCE IT WOULD EITHER HIT THE WINDSHIELD OR FLY OVER THE VEHICLE, SO HOW WAS IT DAMAGED? NOT TOO HAPPY WITH NISSAN SINCE MY RESEARCH LED TO A WEBSITE THAT STATED THE ROGUE WAS IN THE TOP 10 FOR VEHICLES WITH MOST RANDOMLY EXPLODING SUNROOFS.

ON 8/28/2017, I WAS DRIVING ON CALIFORNIA RT. 395 SOUTH WHILE THE RENTAL CAR I WAS IN, NISSAN ROGUE 2016, WENT OFF HIGHWAY INTO THE DESERT ON A SPEED 65MPH. I ENDED UP INJURED, WITH BROKEN VERTEBRA, AND CURRENTLY ON LONG TERM DISABILITY. I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN A CAR; WAS TAKEN TO BARSTOW COMMUNITY HOSPITAL BY AMBULANCE. AS I EXAMINE THIS ACCIDENT IN MY MEMORY, I CANNOT RECALL ANY MISTAKES IN DRIVING ON MY PART . ALL OF A SUDDEN, I COULD NOT STEER, SO CAR WENT OFF HIGHWAY. THE OWNER OF THE CAR IS ENTERPRISE RENTAL; THE CAR WAS TOTALED. SINCE THEN, I WAS CONTACTED BY ELCO WHO CONTACTED NISSAN, AND NISSAN PROVIDED AN INSPECTION, FINDING NO PROBLEMS (SEE ATTACHED; I WAS NOT PRESENT.) I ALSO HAVE A REPAIR ESTIMATE FROM MOHAVE BODY (ATTACHED). PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: 1. POLICE REPORT IS PARTIALLY INCORRECT. THERE ARE TOO MANY INCONSISTENCIES, INCLUDING THE NAME OF THE PERSON FOUND RESPONSIBLE, AND THE MAKE OF HIS CAR. POLICE REPORT CANNOT BE ATTACHED DUE TO THE SIZE LIMITATION; YOU CAN PULL IT OUT USING ACCIDENT REPORT CARD (ATTACHED.) TO MY KNOWLEDGE, THERE WERE NO DIRECT WITNESSES, SOMEONE SAW IT FROM FAR AWAY. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE DAMAGE THAT I CAN PROVIDE. 2. THIS CAR WAS A REPLACEMENT FOR THE NATIONAL RENTAL CAR THAT HAD SOME PROBLEMS, SO I HAD TO EXCHANGE IT PER NATIONAL CAR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE REQUEST.THE NISSAN CAR HAD FAULTY FRONT PASSENGER TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR THAT THE RENTAL OFFICE WAS NOT AWARE OF, AND WHEN I POINTED IT OUT, CLAIMED THAT IT IS SAFE AND MANY NISSAN VEHICLES HAVE THIS PROBLEM. IT WAS INDICATING LOW PRESSURE WHILE IN FACT THE PRESSURE WAS TOO HIGH, OVER 40PSI. I CHECKED AND ADJUSTED TIRE PRESSURE IN DISCOUNT TIRE IN CARSON CITY, NV; THE FAULT MESSAGE DID NOT GO AWAY. I MAINTAIN THAT THE RENTAL AGENCY DID NOT PERFORM TECHNICAL INSPECTION OF THE CAR AS THEY HAD TO, AND THERE COULD BE SOME OTHER HIDDEN PROBLEMS BESIDES TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR.*DT

FUEL EFFICIENCY MARKETING SCAM, I BOUGHT A NISSAN ROGUE 2016 TWO YEARS AGO. THE DECISION WAS UPON ITS MARKETING IN EXTRAORDINARY FUEL EFFICIENCY THE NISSAN COMPANY HAS MADE, FOR LOCAL 29/HIGHWAY32. AFTER FEW MONTHS DRIVING EXPERIENCE AND TOLD BY THE DEALER AGENT, I NEED TO DRIVE MY CAR 5K-10K MILES THEN THE ENGINE WILL PROVIDED THAT FUEL EFFICIENCY. BUT AFTER TWO YEARS DRIVEN 27K MILES SIMPLY NOTHING CHANGED, MY CAR ONLY GETS 16/27 FOR LOCAL AND HIGHWAY AND AVERAGE OUT 17-18 MILES PER GALLON. I WAS SO UPSET MYSELF HAVE MADE THAT SUCH MISTAKENLY LEADED DECISION ON BUYING THIS FAKE MARKETING VEHICLE AND NOT SAVE MY GAS MONEY ALSO POLLUTING THE ENVIRONMENT. AS EVERY TIME I HAVE CONFRONTED WITH THE DEALERS TECHINICIAN AND AGENT ON THIS ISSUE, THEY SIMPLY SAID EXCUSES AND NOT DO ANYTHING. AS A RESULT, I HOPE MY ISSUE WILL BE TAKING CARE BY AND SUGGEST ALL FUTURE BUYER NOT TO BUY ANY NISSAN VEHICLES BECAUSE THEY LIE TO CONSUMERS AND THEY ARE NOT ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY ON FUEL EFFICIENCY !!

THE NISSAN ROGUE HAS A VIBRATION ON THE LEFT SIDE. CAN BE FELT WHEN HOLDING THE STEERING WHEEL. BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION AT THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES MORE THAN A YEAR AGO. LAST TIME THEY SAID THERE WILL BE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AS MY VEHICLE IS AFFECTED. AFTER CHECKING W/DEALERSHIP A FEW MORE TIMES, THERE IS STILL NO NEWS OF GETTING THIS RESOLVED. THIS HAPPENS WHILE I'M DRIVING AND IT MAKES ME NAUSEOUS.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, I HEARD A LOUD POP, LIKE A GUNSHOT AND SUDDENLY THE GLASS FROM MY SUNROOF WAS FALLING ON ME. I HAD A HOLE IN THE SUNROOF AND THE GLASS WAS FALLING ON ME WHILE DRIVING. NOTHING HIT MY CAR, IT JUST EXPLODED RANDOMLY- I HAD NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED. I CALLED 911, POLICE CAME,AND LATER HAD THE SUNROOF REPLACED

NISSAN'S INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM AUTOMATICALLY LOCKS THE CAR WHEN A DOOR IS SHUT, EVEN THOUGH THE KEY IS INSIDE. WE HAVE HAD THIS HAPPENS TWO TIMES THIS WEEK. MAYBE THE LATEST VERSION OF THEIR CAR SOFTWARE? WE JUST GOT THAT UPDATED. MY WIFE UNLOCKS ALL DOORS, OPENS PASSENGER CAR DOOR, PUTS PURSE WITH SMART KEY IN PASSENGER SEAT, SHUTS DOOR, OPENS REAR PASSENGER SEAT DOOR, PUTS SON IN CAR SEAT, SHUT DOOR AND BOOM, CAR LOCKS ITSELF. TWO TIMES. FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD TO COME.

WE HAVE HAD 2 PARKING LOT FENDER BENDERS WITHIN 3 MONTHS DUE TO THE FACT THAT NISSAN'S REAR VIEW MONITORING SYSTEM'S USE OF A BACKUP CAMERA IS SO COMPLICATED TO USE AND ITS BLIND SPOT MONITORING DOES NOT FUNCTION UNDER 20 MILES PER HOUR SPEED THAT I DON'T THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN APPROVED AS A FEATURE ON THIS CAR. ADDITIONALLY, THE INTERIOR BACK SEAT HEADRESTS BLOCK ALL WINDOWS THAT WOULD NORMALLY BE USED FOR VISUAL SEARCHING. AS A BUYER, I WAS NOT WARNED THAT THE SYSTEM HAS A VERY MINIMAL USE. IT TOOK TWO ACCIDENTS BEFORE I FOUND ITS LIMITATIONS BURIED IN THE MANUAL. THE SYSTEM IS VERY DANGEROUS SINCE MARKETING IMPLIES THAT IT PROTECTS FROM BACKING UP WHEN IT DOES NOT. IN THE MANUAL SMALL PRINT IT LISTS SO NINE TIMES WHEN IT WILL NOT WORK. COMPARED TO OTHER CARS SUCH AS LEXUS, THIS NISSAN 'SAFETY' FEATURE IS ACTUALLY A DANGER TO ANY DRIVER.

I RECENTLY BOUGHT ROGUE IN DECEMBER OF 2016 & WITHIN A MONTH OR SO I STARTED FEELING VIBRATIONS. I TOOK IT TO DEALER & THEY SAID THE WHEEL BALANCE WAS OFF THEY FIXED IT BUT THE VIBRATIONS WERE STILL THERE. I CAN FEEL THE VIBRATIONS DURING RIDE WHEN ON 25MPH, 40MPH & ABOVE, ALSO DURING IDLING ALOT OF VIBRATIONS AND EVEN BRAKING CAUSES VIBRATIONS, I COMPLAINED TO DEALER THEY CHECKED IT & IT WAS STILL VIBRATING & THEY SAID THEY CANT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE ROGUES ARE MADE THIS WAY. I THEN COMPLAINED TO NISSAN NORTH AMERICA & ASKED TO BUY BACK THIS VEHICLE SINCE I DONT FEEL I SHOULD KEEP DRIVING A DEFECTIVE CAR THEY ALSO DENIED MY CASE. I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW, I HAVE A NEW BORN BABY & ITS VERY HARD TO KEEP UP WITH THIS, THE REASON I BOUGHT A NEW CAR WAS TO NOT GET INVOLVED IN CAR PROBLEMS BUT I HAVE BEEN IN PERIL SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. CAN YOU PLEASE ASSIST ME WITH HOW I AM GOING TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE.
