This page combines three types of NHTSA data: recall campaigns (official manufacturer or government actions), owner complaints (unverified consumer reports), and crash test ratings (where available). A vehicle with many complaints is not necessarily less reliable — complaint volume correlates with sales volume and vehicle age. Recalls indicate identified defects, not overall quality.

I was driving 70 mi./ an hour and then all of a sudden the car jerked very hard. The car behind me had to hurry up and move from behind me because he saw my car had come coming to a complete stop at 25 to 35 miles an hour. A show that I had a crash and then I tried to accelerate to go pick up the speed and I couldn’t go no more than 45 miles was very scary don’t want driver car like that haven’t had the car a month and I’m having issues with something I’m paying for that shouldn’t be happening
1) The passenger door on the drivers side will not open and the drivers side window also is faulty. 2) it is a safety hazard to have car doors that won't open, as it can prevent emergency exit, and it can also create a danger to other road users. If a door is stuck closed during a crash, it could prevent a person from getting out, which is particularly dangerous if the car catches fire. a faulty car window regulator is a safety hazard, especially in Florida, because it can prevent you from opening the window in an emergency, compromise security by not closing properly, and expose the interior to the elements. A faulty regulator can lead to a window being stuck, falling into the door, or not closing completely, all of which create potential risks 3) The dealer has confirmed this issue with this make and model of vehicle and have fixed the same issues when they were under warranty but refuse to handle said issue now that the warranty being up. It is a three year old car I bought new 4)This issue has been inspected and has been known by the dealer service department of Mike Erdman Nissan. 5) The issue has happened with other window regulators and doors that would not open on the vehicle in question. 4) The vehicle had issues with

The contact owns a 2022 Nissan Rogue Sport. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle and driving at an undisclosed speed, the engine made an abnormal sound. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V437000 (Engine and Engine Cooling); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 35,000.
The engine cuts off on me. It takes a long time to get up to speed. The engine is burning oil. There is no oil on the ground and no leaks present. Smoke comes out of the rear pipes when I start the car. Again there are no oil leaks present but the oil is burning out every 5-7 days.
Several problems have shown up since purchasing this car in December of last year. The back window has rolled down on it's own about 6 times within the same week I purchased the car. The head unit in the vehicle had to be reset by the dealer when they first traded the car in, according to service history and it's still having problems. I can hear the other caller on phone calls intermittently but they can't hear me. My phone has briefly disconnected from the Bluetooth system saying it couldn't be found. I thought it might be a phone issue but I got another phone and it still does it. I have a video of the head unit being completely unresponsive. The music was playing but none of the buttons were doing anything when I pushed them and the map was all that it would show. I've also had issues with burning smells when using the heated steering wheel and heated seats. I believe there is an electrical problem causing all of this but since the dealer can't duplicate the problem when I've driven it into service, they are refusing to do anything. The collision detector also goes off on it's own when I'm nowhere near another car.
The contact rented a 2022 Nissan Rogue Sport through Enterprise Rent-A-Car Company. The contact stated that while driving the vehicle, there was an abnormal sound coming from the front end of the vehicle. Additionally, the contact stated after his wife had parked the vehicle with the engine running, the vehicle started to roll away. The contact stated that while his wife was running after the vehicle to stop it, she fell to the ground. The vehicle hit the bridge of the residence and stopped. The contact's wife sought medical assistance a few days later and was informed that she had sustained a concussion, headaches, and bruises on the legs, arms, and belly. The vehicle was driven back to the Enterprise lot, where the contact was advised that the vehicle was safe to drive. The contact was charged a fee for the damages that the vehicle sustained due to the collision. There was no further information provided. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that they could not assist because the contact was not the owner of the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.
There is a strong smell of gas in the cabin. It started intermittently a couple of months ago and is getting worse. Basically every time I drive.
Driving at approximately 45 mph when emergency braking system activated when there was nothing in front of my vehicle. Fortunately no cars were following me, otherwise I likely would have been rear ended.
