2015 Nissan Rogue Complaint Log

I am writing to formally document my experience with the service performed at Nissan Heights following a recall repair on my vehicle. My vehicle was brought to Nissan Heights on Monday, March 2, for recall service related to NHTSA Recall #22V-024 (Nissan Recall #R21B9) involving the wiring harness. I dropped off the vehicle early that morning with the expectation that the recall work would be completed properly and that the vehicle would be returned in good working condition. After the recall inspection and service process, I was informed that additional components needed to be replaced the Engine Control Module (ECM), and the Body Control Module (BCM). The cost of replacing these components was several thousand dollars. Based on the nature of the recall and the research I conducted regarding this issue, these failures appear to be directly related to the wiring harness recall. However, Nissan Heights informed me that these repairs were my responsibility. In order to retrieve my vehicle, I proceeded with the repairs and paid the required amount after 8 days. When I picked up my vehicle, I later discovered that certain parts had not been properly reassembled before the car was returned to me. I did not immediately notice this until I was already driving home. Because I had to go to work, I was unable to return to the dealership right away and had to make an additional trip back to Nissan Heights so that the issue could be corrected. More concerning, after further inspection of the vehicle, I discovered that a significant amount of what appears to be an acidic grease or liquid substance had been spilled over the exterior of my vehicle. This substance was present on the roof, sides, and doors of the car and appears to have caused damage to the paint. This damage was not present prior to leaving the vehicle at the dealership. The most likely explanation is that the substance came from another vehicle positioned above mine while it was stored or servic

The vehicle is experiencing a serious door locking malfunction. Even after the car is locked, the doors repeatedly attempt to lock again every few seconds. During this time, the horn sounds and the lights flash continuously, as if the vehicle is trying to re-lock itself but failing. This behavior continues repeatedly. This issue raises serious safety concerns for the following reasons: •The vehicle may not be securely locking. •The repeated locking attempts may indicate a failure in the door lock actuator or body control system. •The malfunction could potentially cause the doors to unlock unexpectedly. •The constant horn and light activity drains the battery and creates public disturbance. The problem occurs intermittently but frequently enough to cause concern. There have been no recent modifications made to the vehicle. I am requesting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) investigate this issue to determine whether it is a widespread defect affecting other 2015 Nissan Rogue vehicles. Vehicle Details: •Make: Nissan •Model: Rogue •Year: 2015 •Mileage: 127,000 miles •VIN: [XXX] Thank you for your attention to this matter.

My 2015 Nissan Rogue Select, driver side rear door, Door lock has failed with the door in the locked and closed position. I understand there is an ongoing lawsuit over this failure and I am making a complaint to support that this is a safety hazard. While other means of escaping the vehicle are available for an emergency situation, they are less than ideal if the door lock has failed. So far this is the only lock that has completely failed in this manner.

I am the original owner of a 2015 Nissan Rogue (VIN: [XXX] ) with approximately 63,000 miles. After driving for about 20–30 minutes, the engine will suddenly rev up but the vehicle will not accelerate or will barely move when I press the gas pedal. This has happened multiple times when trying to merge, climb hills, or cross intersections. The vehicle loses drive power even though the engine is running and revving. When this happens, I have to move over and wait until the vehicle cools down before it will drive normally again. My Nissan dealer has diagnosed the issue as a failing CVT transmission and quoted about $7,700 to replace it. This behavior creates a serious safety hazard because the car can lose power in traffic, leaving me unable to accelerate to highway speed, climb grades, or clear intersections. I am concerned this may be related to known Nissan CVT problems and believe it should be investigated as a safety‑related defect.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed over a bump in the roadway, the vehicle shuddered and swayed to one side and made an abnormal clunking sound. The vehicle was pulled over into a parking lot and parked. A neighbor inspected the vehicle and informed the contact that the passenger’s side rear wheel needed to be aligned and that the rear trailing arm needed to be replaced. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who determined that the subframe was corroded and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 98,000.

The airbag light comes on for no reasons and after spending the money to test it, the mechanics suggested multiple defects (clock spring, module, etc). There is no hit or anything and yet it just becomes faulty.

Once a year my car won't start, I get it towed to a dealership and they always say nothing is wrong but recommend getting a new battery even though the battery is not failing. So every year they try to get me to buy a new battery and warranty won't cover my battery because its not failing. I've had them run other test like parasitic draw and they say they find nothing. Every year I deal with this issue and have to deal with getting my car towed and usable for a couple days then magically starts working.

Was traveling down the road the curtain air bags deployed and filled car with smoke so badly driver couldn’t see and caused him to wreck in a creek it totaled the vehicle and progressive insurance had co-part to pick it up there was no warning that the air bags were going to deploy

This is a known issue for the 2015 rogue and a huge safety problem. Nissan needs to issue a recall.

Hatch hydraulic lift failed and trunk slammed on me. I also believe the hood latch might be a safety concern due to the hood wiggling like it doesn’t want to stay shut and shaking when on highway

To Whom It May Concern, I am filing a vehicle safety complaint regarding a sudden and complete failure of the Body Control Module (BCM) in my 2015 Nissan Rogue. This failure has resulted in a complete "no-start" condition, rendering the vehicle inoperable without warning. The problem occurred on or about [Date of Breakdown, if known]. The vehicle would not start, despite the ignition powering on. A professional diagnosis was performed, which confirmed that the Body Control Module had failed and was not sending the required signal to the Intelligent Power Distribution Module (IPDM) to allow the vehicle to start. The technician's notes state: "FOUND NO SIGNAL FROM BCM TO IPDM TO START VEHICLE." I have since learned that this is a known manufacturer issue, documented in Nissan Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) NTB16-024, titled "No Start, MIL ON, DTC U1000, U1010, C110A, P1614, P1615, P1630, P1631 (Reprogram BCM or Replace IPDM)." The diagnosis and attempted repair on my vehicle perfectly match the procedure outlined in this TSB. Safety Concern: While a"no-start" condition may not seem like a traditional safety hazard, the sudden and unpredictable nature of this failure presents a significant safety risk. A vehicle that becomes completely inoperable without warning can strand drivers and passengers in potentially dangerous situations, such as: · In the middle of intersections or busy roadways. · In isolated areas with no access to help. · During extreme weather conditions (extreme heat, cold, storms). · While transporting individuals with medical needs. The failure of a critical electronic component like the BCM, which is responsible for numerous vehicle functions, at only 50,000 miles indicates a serious and potentially widespread defect in materials or workmanship. I am requesting that the NHTSA investigate this failure pattern in 2014-2016 Nissan Rogue vehicles.existence of a TSB and numerous complaints from other owners online suggest a major defect.

What component failed: The CVT on our 2015 Nissan Rogue failed while in operation. The vehicle is now inoperable. In 12/2024, at 84,000 miles, we brought the car to a Nissan dealership due to stalling and hesitation. The service record noted: “Felt trans judder during a slow turn,” which matches early CVT failure symptoms outlined in Nissan Technical Service bulletin SB‑10075090‑5448. Despite this, the issue was not flagged, and a transmission flush was performed as a precaution. Safety risk: The failure occurred while my 17‑year‑old daughter was driving on the expressway. The vehicle suddenly lost power in ACTIVE TRAFFIC and she had to coast to the shoulder. This placed her life, and other drivers around her, at risk of a rear‑end collision at highway speed. Sudden loss of propulsion in high‑speed traffic is a serious safety hazard. Importantly, this CVT issue has been and is the subject of multiple Technical Service Bulletins. Older vehicles like ours are commonly passed down to first-time drivers, especially teenagers. By refusing to address known transmission defects in these vehicles past arbitrary warranty thresholds, Nissan is knowingly putting thousands of young drivers at daily risk. Has the problem been reproduced / confirmed by dealer: The same drivability symptoms were reported to and documented by a Nissan dealership in December 2024 at 84,000 miles. They performed a transmission flush and stated the vehicle was fine. Less than 5,000 miles later, the CVT failed completely. Has the vehicle been inspected by others: The vehicle has been inspected by a Nissan dealership (12/2024). Nissan Consumer Affairs was contacted several times, but no remedy or goodwill inspection has been offered. Were there warning symptoms before failure: Yes. Stalling / hesitation while driving had been occurring the entire time prior to failure. The Nissan dealership documented “trans judder” in December 2024, which matches Nissan’s own TSB language for CVT failure symptoms.

Upon starting the car the airbag, seatbelt light came on and will not go off.

The driver's side curtain airbags deployed prematurely while shutting the driver's side door

My car all of a sudden is having electrical issues. The radio is changing stations and volume all by itself. The steering wheel is getting hard to turn. The brake light fuse is burning out right away. I’ve replaced the fuse 3 times already in one week but it keeps burning out within 24hrs or less. My gages are going up and down fast motion. My battery all of a sudden is draining and it is brand new. I only have a little over 60,000. This is not normal at all and it is going to cause me to get in an accident.

Passenger front seat belt not pulling out

It has been going on for years, when I am outside the car - the open drivers side door closes by itself and locks by itself. It does t matter where I am parked. Even on level surfaces the door does this. This can be problematic if the driver is locked out as a result of this. Hot weather is here We don’t want someone locked out or a child locked in. As I say, this has been going on for years. The latest incident was last night. I have formed the habit of holding my key ring in my hand when I exit my car. Again, this habit saved me last night.

Airbag warning light on dashboard is blinking. After troubleshooting and running Nissan Diagnostics, Nissan dealer repair technicians cannot determine which airbag sensor has failed or in question. Potential risk is unknown.

It started when I purchased it in February 2025 Mileage was 99200 I noticed the seatbelt warning signs didn’t ding if I didn’t have my seatbelt on. And the sunroof not only was leaking but it is coming apart where it is held in place I’m afraid it will suddenly come down and strike me without notice while driving. Theee days ago I noticed the airbag light came on while I had the driver assist engaged so I stopped and turned the driver assistance light on and then off which caused the airbag light to turn off . But today with 1100 miles on the vehicle I was driving and the light. Came on as I was driving again. I tried turning off the drivers assistance button but the light stays on!!! I’m concerned about the safety while driving with the airbag light, the seatbelt not signaling when the seatbelt is not on it ding to remind me that someone doesn’t have their seat belt on. At lastly , I believe that I am going to be injured by the sunroof motor fulling down while I am driving causing a car wreck and or injuring me or a passenger. The OCS system in the 2015 model needs to be fixed before serious injury occurs.

REAR LIFT GATE SUPPORTS .HATCHBACK HAS TO BE PUSED UP AND IS VERY HARD TO DO. HAS TO BE HELD UP SO IT DOESN'T COME DOWN ON US.SEEN THAT WAS A RECALL ON THIS ID # PC459 BUT ITS NOT SHOWING UP.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 50 MPH and adjusting the rearview mirror, the mirror detached from the windshield. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was determined that the mirror needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a complaint was filed. The failure mileage was 44,502.

My car moves after I put it in park. It jerks forward even though I have it in park. Sometimes before I turn the engine off and sometimes after. I believe its the transmission and it should have been recalled but it hasn't.

I had been complaining about a knocking noise ever since I purchased my 2015 Nissan Rogue in March 2022. Even prior to officially purchasing this vehicle, I even paid Texas Nissan to fully inspect it due to the knocking. Except for some minor wear and tear items discovered, Texas Nissan gave the vehicle a good bill of health. So, I went ahead and purchased the vehicle from Gtubbs Infiniti. However the knocking got louder and more consistent. In March 2023, February 2025 and May 2025, I returned the vehicle to Texan Nissan to complain about the noise. On the later date, Texas Nissan finally informs me of a sway bar being broken, contol arm bushing being torn, and they also "FOUND EXCESSIVE PLAY ON FRONT DRIVER SIDE SEAT FRAME." I have never notice this kind of vibration in the seat before. However, when I mentioned that the seat frame is under recall, Sean Burreal at Texas Nissan, responded that my VIN did not qualify for the recall. I don't understand why the recall wouldnt apply to my vehicle since its affirmative that the defect exists on my vehicle per Texas Nissan. (I have a video of the defect). This all seems so suspicious.

Their door locks lock you in so you cannot get out which is to me a very dangerous situation I had it replaced and the one they put on it which is new is worse

My Car's Driver side air bag sign is on and took it to the Nissan dealer for diagnostic and was told the car seatback needs to be replaced as the airbag is not working. the technician was surprised that this part of the car needed replacement. this car has clean title no accidents and one owner. contacted nissan consumer affairs but they would not help in this issue. the component was never inspected just a diagnostic was done.

It has a CVT transmission and when you try to accelerate quickly, it box down it does not go every now and then when it tries to change gears it shimmy it gives a humping sensation

I’ve taken my car for inspection and was told to NOT drive my car. The “trailing/trilling Arms” have failed and my rear end is about to fall off. I just replaced the transmission last year and this. I’m [XXX] and can not afford these charges ($1300)for a 10 year old car, that’s garage kept. What is going on with this year/model? I will never trust a Nissan again.

There is standing water on the driver’s side floorboard and a sloshing noise can be heard while driving. This appears to match conditions described in a Technical Service Bulletin (reference: NTB14-105a). The issue is especially bad in rainy conditions and the accumulation of moisture causes condensation on the inside of the windshield and windows making it difficult to clear off to see while driving. Additionally due to the large amount of water, mold is starting to grow on the interior upholstery. The vehicle has been inspected by the dealer who confirmed the issue although they declined to cover the cost of the repair as there are currently no active recalls related to this issue. They further claim that NTB14-105a does not apply to this vehicle.

Power shifter locks in park when trying to change it to drive or reverse . I found a recall campaign bulletin for shift selector knob for January 2, 2016 . I took my vehicle to a Nissan dealer and I was told they could not honor it . I would have to pay . Reference for recall is NTB16-004 .

After noticing my front tires are wearing on the outside much quicker thank n the rear tires, and I rotate them with every oil change, I noticed a clicking in the steering when making a hard left turn. My mechanic told me it's an issue with the steering rack and I saw that Nissan is looking into this and may issue a recall. So I wanted to add my name to the list of effected cars.

Airbag warning lights consistently flashing on and off. I was told it was a seat belt sensor or issue. Safety related. I know you have other rogues are on the recall list fir this same year however mine does not come up. This us so frustrating as to the rates your dealerships charge. Please advise on the highly safety issue. I want to feel safe in my suv again

Airbag warning light for front passenger seat on permenently.

my 2015 Rogue and the issue that I have been experiencing with my drivers seat loose/ rocking while driving. I've done research and was told this is a common issue with 2015 models. I feel this is a safety concern that it moves while driving especially for myself or other. When a seat moves it changes the pressure you use with the pedals. This is a true safety concern and im not sure why this hasnt been addressed sooner. I'm very frustrated with this manufacturing issue and getting no help from the company or dealership. This issues has been verified by 3 different dealers/ autobody shops and numerous of research stating this is a common issue.

The dealer sold me a car with tampered mileage (106056 miles). When I found out, he took away the title document and refused to return the money. He implied me to sign the sales slip or I would lose both the money and the car. After I signed, he was worried that I would report him, so he took away the REG262 document with his signature and false mileage. He also took advantage of the opportunity that I left the car in his shop to change the tampered mileage back to the original real 225438 miles.and On October 23,2024, I asked him to refund me, he replied "Hey asshole no one can play with odometer " On November 20,2024, when he got the summons,he replied "Thats not true You try to change the mileage I will sue you " But in the court, he said the mileage 106056 was taken on 10/19/2024 of the dashboard is trip mileage. So I can't register it and can't use the vehicle at all

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the air bag warning light was illuminated and blinking. The contact called the independent mechanic where the vehicle was purchased and was informed that the vehicle needed to be serviced. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the air bags were missing. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted.

While driving the vehicle a burning smell became present. I pulled over into the nearest parking lot. Smoke started to come out of the engine compartment and increased over a short period of time. Fire flames came through the hood of the car. I called 911 and the fire department had to put out the flames. The car got towed and is sitting in a tow yard pending an insurance inspection. My safety was at risk because the car was engulfed in flames. Not sure if this problem has been reproduced, but I have seen reports of similar Nissan vehicles catching on fire in a similar manner. There were no warning signs that there was an issue with the car and I kept the maintenance of the car up to date. Dashcam installed in car captured me pulling over, the car begin to smoke and flames coming up from the hood.

I got into a car accident where the airbags didn't go off. I have the airbag light now on in the car and the diagnostics is something with the transmission.

Airbag warning on dash display. Driver side airbag dtc, replaced airbag and clock spring from nissan oem at local shop.

The system failure that I keep experiencing is regarding the ignition. When I turn my car off and try to lock the ignition, my key gets stuck and will not release. I have to turn the car back on and off a few times for it to finally release. No warning messages appear and it happened out of nowhere. I thought it might be the key itself, but I do not think that is the problem. I used my addition key fob that I never use to see if the same problem would occur and it did.

cvt transmission slips and will not move the vehicle when it is hot or in stop and go traffic.

The transmission gave out while in the middle of driving on I-4. The safety of the driver and everyone in the highway was put at risk since the car stopped running out of nowhere in a high traffic area. The vehicle has been inspected by a mechanic. A warning symbol popped up as soon as it happened. It says chassis control system error.

The AC does not work intermittently. When the AC is on, it will blow cold air and then all of a sudden, warm air comes out. Then it may work again and then it will blow warm air. This is a safety concern in Texas when the temperature is very hot outside. This has happened ever since I bought the car in 2015.

The transmission went out on a busy highway.
