NHTSA Owner Complaint Log
This page lists owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA for the 2015 Nissan Rogue. Complaints are unverified consumer reports submitted to NHTSA and do not by themselves prove a defect or defect rate.
The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving 5-10 MPH on a flat road surface, the contact noticed an abnormal shift in the rear suspension. The contact parked the vehicle. Upon inspecting the vehicle, the contact noticed that the passenger's side rear wheel had shifted inward. The contact turned on the hazard lights and drove to the nearest dealer at slow speeds. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the passenger's side rear lower control arm was severely rusted and bent, causing the rear passenger's side wheel to shift inward. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 84,000.
The airbag sensor warning light remains constantly on once the car has been started. Yes the vehicle is available for inspection. I have taken it to the local dealership for repair and after 2 different visits have told me that they don't know exactly what is wrong and that I need to come back and pay another $1600 after the original $600 I already spent to have 2 different parts replaced and they will next replace two others and hope it solves the problem. I do not know if my car is safe and if my airbags will deploy when appropriate and not when it is not appropriate. The main problem is that they don't know why the sensor is constantly on and just keep "Trying" to replace things and hope it is fixed. I do not feel comfortable with hoping they are right when they can't tell me what is wrong. There has been no issues yet but not having your airbag sensor work properly is a significant problem. No police or other agency has looked at the car only the local dealership. I have contacted Nissan but they have not given me any answers except that they have noted my concerns and within my case. They need to be able to tell me if my vehicle is 100% safe to drive. If they can accurately diagnosis the cause, I don't feel they can assure me that everything is okay and safe. My second visit there (6/24/2024) They have replaced the drivers door satelite sensor and found DTC to still be present and will not clear. Now they recommend replacing drivers door harness and airbag control unit. The first visit (5/18/2024) they stated they found DTC 80093 for left hand sensor . they removed the left hand lower b-pillar cover to inspect sensor and wiring was in good condition. Per esm 1st tep is replacing the left had satelite sensor. It has been a month and I still don't know if my car is safe to drive and that the airbags will work, other than the dealership saying it will likely work. But come back and spend $1600 more and hopefully it will work.
Airbag warning light suddenly started flashing(on/off) constantly, regardless if anyone or any item is in passenger seat. After attempting to reset to no avail, taken to dealer for inspection. Dealer listed code b00a0-02(Occupant Sensor). Dealer stated only fix is to replace entire seat frame as the sensor is built into seat frame. Dealer stated failure to replace can cause airbag to activate inadvertently, or not activate when in a crash. The vehicle has never been involved in a crash.
I have 2015 Nissan Rouge Select for almost 9 year and I haven’t get in any accident with this car . But my air bag light keep turn off twice within a year . Last year it happened on driver side , I replaced it at dealership and the same issue happened just 10 months later . The passenger air bag is off this time . But the dealership said the reason that I can’t accept it. First the mechanic guy told me that the car is old and the way how we drive with the shaking on the road affect airbag wire and sensor . That’s unacceptable because we have an older car than this 2015 Nissan but it never have air bag problem . While we talk with their supervisor to see if there is any recall we miss and what cause the airbag keep going off , he said one thing made me could not believe that the manufacturer would not test the air bag before selling . Is it mean that i bought this Nissan car and I put my self and my family safety under risk while we are on the road ? …...and recently the car transmission failed….
The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while stopped at a traffic light, the vehicle shook momentarily and then stalled. Additionally, the contact stated that two messages were displayed “Warning – Malfunction” and a “Warning - Chassis System Control Error”. The vehicle was able to restart after several attempts and depressing the accelerator pedal. Additionally, after restarting the vehicle and driving below 20 MPH, the vehicle began shaking and lost motive power. The vehicle was taken to the residence. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the mass air flow sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. The vehicle was then taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the same parts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the ABS, wheel bearing, mass air flow sensor, and sway bar links needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.
My caliper fell off about a month after purchasing. I acknowledge it was a used vehicle but it was a known problem in the past which I was told was fixed.
I was traveling east bound and trash collection truck was parked on the shoulder facing east. I could not see the truck because of the position of the sun, and when I did see the parked trash truck, I swerved to miss it but struck the left rear of the parked trash truck with the right front of my vehicle going 35mph. Air bags did not deploy nor did the seat belt lock. I was tranferred to the hospital and sustained 4 broken ribs and an abrasion on my right elbow. Police department and EMS did see that air bags did not deploy. Police report shows code for the air bag and seat belt malfunctions. No warning messages etc of any kind showed up.
There is a recall for the airbag light coming on the dashboard. Took the car to the dealership to get the car looked at, was informed their is a recall for the airbag light. Was told it was fixed, a week later the light came back on. Went back to dealership, this time they said it would need a new driver side seat and electrical panel replaced to be repaired correctly and to know 100 % the driver side airbag works correctly. Nissan won't cover it because those aren't the current parts to fix it. I don't understand, the dealership tried twice to fix the problem with the standard parts that are allotted in the recall and it didn't work, now it needs to be fixed properly. I have a Nissan with a safety recall issue that Nissan refuses to cover the cost to fix it. It is very unsafe, dangerous and life threatening to have a vehicle with no working driver side airbag. We bought this car for our 16 year old son, only to have a severe safety violation in the car that won't get fix properly by the manufacturer. What if he is in a front on collision and the airbag doesn't work? Heaven forbid he get critically injured or even die from it. What does it take for Nissan to do the right thing and properly fix the recall. In the meantime our son isn't allowed to drive his new car much and not far from the house. How would they feel if it were their teenager in a car with no driver side airbag and the company with a recall refused to fix it correctly. I guess our son's life doesn't matter to anyone but us. All we want is for the recall to be fixed correctly ( which we knew nothing about) which is correctly working airbags. How would you feel?

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the front passenger's side air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 138,015.
Hello, I bought my Nissan Rogue in 2015 and I’m the original owner. I had parked my car at Lowe’s and upon returning from store, my dashboard showed the Air bag alert sign that didn’t go away and remains turned ON my driver-side dashboard. I wasn’t in an accident or didn’t have other issues, and car was simply just parked when alert popped up and remained ON. VIN# [XXX] . Nissan dealership staff charges for such repairs but I feel this should be covered under warranty as it’s a major safety issue. Can your team please help me. Thank you.

Our car has experienced multiple incidents of the interior becoming drenched with water. From thew sunroof, the sides of the vehicle, the floorboards, back AND front. We bring it in to be repaired but then another leak occurs. I am worried about water coming into contact with the many electrical parts of the car that help it operate especially since so much wetness occurs near the front half of the vehicle, near the controls. This last incident, we reached out to Nissan's corporate office and they would not cover the cost of repairs. We are nervous about what might happen and ethically don't feel we can sell the car in this condition.
Contacted Nissan in Jan of 2024 for recall repair. It is now August 2024 with zero resolution and Nissan Corporate has stopped following up despite multiple attempts for repair.
Nissan blend door is stripped or cracked so there is no heat. Took to garage and they tried gluing but failed after short period. Causes fogged windows and dangerous driving conditions in cold weather.
Our 2015 Nissan rogue will occasionally not accelerate when driving, which can be extremely dangerous. I am not a mechanic, but I believe the transmission is faulty, the vehicle only has 59,000 miles on it! Also, tried driving the vehicle yesterday and it starts up fine, but it will not move foward or backward! Please help us with this issue! Thank you
The heat in my 2015 Nissan Rogue stopped working last winter. This prevented me from being able to defrost the windshield while driving in the middle of winter! The problem is a faulty blend door on the HVAC box. The actuator motor is made of hard plastic, but the blend door is made from soft plastic. This causes the spline in the blend door to strip out and crack and no longer actuate to allow hot air to enter the cabin. I have pictures of the stripped out spline. The problem has not been reproduced by a dealer or independent service center, but my research online has shown that there are many other Nissan rogue owners who have experienced similar issue, at very low mileages. There were no warning lamps or messages of the problem before it began. There was one symptom, the car had problems heating before it stopped operating completely. The soft plastic spline is probably a $5 part, but it is part of the HVAC box, which is a $2700 part (and probably a 10+ hour labor job as the whole dash has to come out.) This is very poor design. I am unsure what they thought would happen when hard plastic is applying torsional force to soft plastic.
As I was driving yesterday (1/12/24) on a busy highway and my sunroof shattered suddenly. It startled me and I had no idea what occurred. I heard a very loud pop and what sounded like rocks hitting my vehicle. I inspected my car and couldn’t find the source thinking it may have been a tire etc but no lights came on. Everytime I drove I heard “pebbles” move but could not find the source. This morning I noticed a piece of glass on my windshield which caused me to inspect my vehicle and to my surprise the sunroof had a hole in it! I’ve reported my sunroof leaking since I purchased the truck in 2018. The dealership claimed to fix the sunroof but would not replace it. The leaking stopped for around 2-3 months and began again. I was told this was not covered under warranty and that I’d have to pay out of pocket for it. I did not think this was fair because I purchased the vehicle when the issue was present. I was subsequently never made aware that there were any defects or complaints about sunroof problems or the occurrences of exploding sunroofs in the make and model I have.
The harness that controls the lift gate is malfunctioning. It’s an issue from the previous recall that has reproduced results. The only way to fix it is to disconnect and connect the safety pins by the foot panel on the drivers side door. Over time it has progressively gotten worse to the point that anytime it opens, it’ll need to be disconnected and then connected before the next time you use it. Also one time it stopped working when the lift gate was open and would not let you close the lift gate.
My heater was broken, and taken to 3 different mechanics who could not find the problem without dismantling the dashboard.. While waiting for the dealer to take my car in, my windshield froze and I could not see while driving. I needed to repeatedly pull over and manually wipe it clear. The dealer now says that it is a problem with an interior part stripping that controls the heat and has occurred on other cars of the same make and model. There should be a national recall and the cost of repairs should fall on the manufacturer.
There is water leak on Driver side floor and is covered under Nissan Service Bulletin NTB14-105a. The carpet is wet on the driver and/or front passenger floor and the source of the wetness is not caused by the air conditioning system.
Component/System Failed: Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system — specifically the heater door actuator. Description of Problem: In November 2023, I purchased a 2015 Nissan Rogue from Nissan of Merrimack Valley. By January 2024, I began experiencing major heating issues. My independent mechanic confirmed that the heater door actuator had been glued to the HVAC box — a clear concealment of a defect instead of a proper repair. The defective component and photo evidence are available for inspection.The actuator is a known weak point in Nissan Rogue models, and when it fails, the only recommended solution is to replace the entire HVAC box, costing thousands of dollars. This is a design flaw, as a relatively small actuator failure should not require full replacement of the HVAC assembly. Safety Risk: The defective actuator compromises the heating and defrosting functions. During cold weather, the vehicle cannot properly defrost the windshield, which creates a serious visibility hazard and directly endangers driver and passenger safety. In winter conditions, this defect can increase the risk of collisions due to impaired visibility. Inspection by Dealer/Manufacturer/Others: Yes. I contacted the selling dealership (Nissan of Merrimack Valley) multiple times over a three-month period, including calls and in-person visits to a manager, Marc A. Despite the clear evidence, the dealership refused accountability, stating they cannot assist. Nissan corporate has not yet provided resolution. Summary: This is a serious safety concern. The heater door actuator in the Nissan Rogue is poorly designed and prone to failure. Nissan must be held accountable for this design defect that puts lives at risk by impairing safe windshield defrosting in cold climates. I strongly urge NHTSA to investigate this issue and push Nissan to address it, either through a recall or a service campaign, to ensure driver and passenger safety.
I was driving on freeway with cruise control on and noticed a couple of 'slips' in the transmission that made the car slow down and 'jerk'. Thinking it might have been a bit of bad gas, I kept driving for about 20 minutes. At one point the car seemed to slip into neutral and the tachometer revved up to about 8000 RPM even though the car was still in drive. I pulled over on the off-ramp and then I lost all ability to move using any gear. I did not see any warning lights. The car is at a shop now to diagnose. Had this happened while on the freeway, who knows what might have happened.
Heating system blows cold air on drivers side. Vehicle taken to mechanic system flushed and blend door actuator replaced, problem still persists. The prevalence of this issue is well-documented in online forums and consumer complaint websites, suggesting that it is not an isolated incident but rather a known and widespread problem affecting a significant number of Nissan Rogue vehicles, especially those made in Korea. Nissan should issue a recall for this issue given the potential safety implications, especially in cold climates where the proper functioning of the heater is essential for defrosting and maintaining clear visibility.
My wife and I were returning from a Thanksgiving trip to relatives in Virginia southbound on I 95 She was driving and we both felt the car shudder as we began to lose speed. There was no acceleration even though the Tachometer was in a high range. We limped into a Rest Area ,shut down the car and called a tow service. We were towed to Deacon Jones Nissan in Golsboro, N.C. where we were told we needed a new transmission. The Service Manager told us this CVT transmission is supposed to be serviced every 30 K miles .We were at 87734. There was never a dashboard warning light to that effect nor any notice from Nissan. Our expenses were: Transmission=$6619.34; Towing=$155; 2 nights at hotel=$201.38
Unknown, car not available for inspection. The car spontaneously caught fire and exploded while it was being driven in a public parking lot. Unknown. There were no warning lamps or indicators the entire duration of the car catching on fire and exploding.
The transfer case system failed, and it is available for inspection upon request. My safety and others safety was put at risk because my vehicle malfunctioned. It is difficult to go uphill and it has turned off on multiple occasions. The car is making a rattle/grinding sound. The vehicle has less than 35,000 miles. The problem has been confirmed by mossy Nissan. The vehicle has been inspected by Nissan. The only warning was having to replace my battery twice while i have owned the vehicle, and the rattling noises/difficulty to accelerate. No lamps or messages illuminated. The vehicle and paperwork are currently with the dealer i can upload the proof at a later time/upon request. I have also included a link that show owners of Nissan rogue having the same issues.

The driver side heat blows cold air and won't defrost properly not to mention I am old and can't survive the winters without heat. I live in upstate NY where we get tons of snow, white out conditions etc etc. Our first snowfall was 11/1/23 yesterday and I was wiping my window because I couldn't see anything and had an emergency that I had to go to and went in the other lane because I couldn't see. Thankfully I realized at the last second by looking out my drivers side window. I looked this up and there was another complaint about the same thing and the reported cost was $3300.00 which I don't have because we live paycheck to paycheck. I love my Nissan Rogue and was going to continue buying Nissan vehicles until this happened and now I'm scared to death to even drive it. I will not purchase another one if this can't be fixed. I will probably end up trading it in. I can't afford to fix it or drive it since I don't want to crash.
As part of NHTSA Campaign Number 23V093000, Nissan provided an interim remedy by inserting a fastener into the key slot of the jackknife key on July 21, 2023. After this interim remedy, key blade could not be folded back into the key fob. Another notice was received from Nissan recently which stated that they have a permanent remedy for this which is to insert a spacer into the key slot. As with the interim remedy, the permanent remedy will also prevent the key blade from being folded back into the key fob. In addition, the letter from Nissan states that any keys that are not repaired will be deactivated. Carrying a key with an open key blade in the pant pocket is causing skin irritation and there is a possibility of injury as well. If I decide to get the keys repaired as required by Nissan, then it I have to deal with the skin irritation and possibility of injury. If I decide to not get the keys repaired, then Nissan will deactivate my keys effectively locking me out of own car that is fully paid off.
The CVT malfunctions after about an hour of driving. There is a failure of power transfer to the drive wheels. The engine rpms increase but there is no forward motion resulting in the vehicle being stranded in traffic. I spoke to the nearest Nissan dealer which is one hour from my home in Mountain Home, AR and was told that this is a known problem and is an indication of imminent CVT failure.
The Electronic A/C system for no reason will when I have the blower selected to defrost or head and feet it changes the blower things that control air flow to someplace in between. Nothing blows out if vents but fan is running. Kind of dangerous when you can’t defrost windows. I brought it yo dealer twice and of course it decided to start working again. I noticed that when it does that if i shut car off completely and wait a minute or so it works properly again. It has done this about a dozen times. Its like the airflow for blower heat/defrost goes into a halfway position and then i don’t get any airflow. This first happened in 2015 and is intermittent.
Something to do with Heat - the drivers side heat does not work but the passenger does. This affects the defrosting of the windshield - cannot defrost with cold air in the winter. I have found several discussion boards detailing the same issues with cost to fix is over $3K.
This has been happening for about 2 years now. When I come to stops such as stop signs ,red lights , or intersections when I go to accelerate it has a major delay which has been very scary especially at intersections and sometimes afterwards the rpm shoots up but car is not accelerating. I brought to dealership and they said no codes are coming up so they didn't know. I feel like I could die in this car someday.
Was driving the vehicle and came to a train crossing in our area,put the vehicle in park and waited until train had passed (6 Minutes ?) and after gates went up and placed vehicle in drive again I couldn't get it to move....After waiting and putting it in low position it slowly caught and was able to get vehicle home which is 1.5 miles and have not been able to get it to move in any position. Contacted dealer and was told its a well known issue but Nissan is not covering these bad cvt transmissions and hope you can help!It's a 2015 model with just over 60k
There was a voluntary recall of 2014-2016 Rogue rear lift gate stay. The local Nissan dealership and Nissan both noted my 2015 Rogue was not included in the recall even though my rear lift is also broken and manufactured in the same time frame. The rear lift does not stay up making use of the trunk very dangerous. It has the potential to cause a head or other bodily injury. There were and are no warning lights indicating it is broken. The issue first occurred a few weeks ago and I have been trying to get it fixed since. The issue was confirmed yesterday by an independent service center.
I was getting ready to load groceries in the back of my 2015 Nissan Rogue as I have done many times and lifted the lift gate. I let go because the gate always stays up on it's own but this time it came crashing back down with major force and hit me in the head. I was stunned to say the least and have a huge lump on my head. The lift gate is not staying up now. This model only opens from the lift gate release on the door (not on the key Fob). I am hurt but this could have been so much worse. I saw a recall # online for this issue - recall # 16V219000, but was told there isn't a recall of this type on my vehicle.
Front Passenger seatbelt locked in retract. Unable to pull the belt out of retraction for use.
Air bag light will not go out. Had it “repaired” twice by Nissan dealership in past 2 years. Light again on and will not go out. I saw a couple of recalls pertaining to air bag sensors (16V911000, 16V244000, 22V024000) but was told these do not apply to my VIN. Also, since August 1, 2023, the rear hatch back door will not stay up and came down unexpectedly on my head. I saw there was a recall for my year car for the hatch issue (recall #16V219000) and notified Nissan on 8/8 but I was told my VIN is not part of that recall either. This hatch is a very real hazard as it will not stay up for loading and unloading items. I feel both of the air bag light and the hatch pose ongoing hazards if not remedied. Having these two items addressed and repaired at Nissan’s expense is desirable since my vehicle is within the recall years and is exhibiting the issues noted in the recalls. Your helping in getting this to Nissan’s attention would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I was driving in 90°F weather for over an hour on the freeway, and it felt like my car's power cut out. This caused my vehicle to decelerate to 40mph while on a busy freeway, leading me to fear for my and others' safety. I turned the car off, waited for 15 minutes at the exit, and began moving again, only for the same issue to occur again. This time I stayed longer and decided not to push the car past 3k RPM, and made it home. The issue occurred once several months ago, and now it has happened twice on the same trip. There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms before the power was cut off. I took the car to an independent service center, and they could not diagnose the problem.
My airbag sensor started flashing for no reason. With estimated repairs at $6000, I don’t understand why there isn’t a recall. I see that this is an ongoing problem for Rogues/Rogue Selects.
Transmission jerks. Cvt transmission causing significant issues. Have already changed faulty valve body, mass air flow sensor, and idle control sensor.
My issue was with the car’s CVT, specifically related to the torque converter (code P0744). I was driving on the highway, driving up hill on a busy interstate and my car suddenly and very noticeably decelerated/lost engine power such that even attempting to accelerate by pushing the pedal all the way to the floor would not allow me to recover my speed. This put me as well as drivers in my surrounding area at risk as cars and semis had to suddenly brake and began honking and attempting to pass. This could have easily caused a serious accident. The problem has been confirmed by the dealer and the recommendation was to replace the transmission and add a component to help prevent overheating for around $8,000. They admitted that this is a known issue and there have been lawsuits, yet no recalls have occurred. The dealer that confirmed the issue was a Nissan dealership and therefore I would assume qualifies as the manufacturer. There were no warning lamps, messages, or any symptom/indication of a problem prior to this occurrence; not even the manufacturer proactively reaching out to warn of the potential for this to occur based on others’ experiences with the CVT. Here is a link to the video provided of the inspection performed by the dealer https:// [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
My sunroof gets clogged and the water back up onto the sunroof frame. The sunroof seal is fine, but the water on the frame is not fine. When you move the car sometimes the water spills out on the driver and/or passenger. There are significant water marks on my car ceiling from the water standing. My passenger side floor and rear passenger side floor are both wet and hard to get dried from the water leak.
The contact's son owns a 2015 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while his son was driving at an undisclosed speed, the accelerator pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to accelerate. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle coasted off to the side of the roadway. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The mechanic related the failure to Technical Service Bulletin: 15-084 (CVT Judder); however, the vehicle was not covered under the TSB. The failure mileage was approximately 126,000.
The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle hesitated and jerked before stalling. After restarting the vehicle, the vehicle returned to normal functionality however, the failure became a regular failure. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and was diagnosed with transmission failure. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 50,000. The consumer stated that half of the cost of repair was initially going to be covered by the manufacturer but that was later denied by them. The vehicle exceeded the allotted time for reimbursement.
Passenger seat occupant sensor co troller and drivers side rear airbag failed and need to be replaced. Airbag light remained on and faults diagnosed by Nissan service. Failed sensors mean airbag likely May not deploy in the event of impact. Found article that there was a recall on this for this vehicle in 2016 but this sites say no recall. This is over $6000 in repairs for product failure
On Wednesday June 21st, I was driving home when a warning light came up on my vehicle. It said: Warning Chassis Control Error see owner's manual. I continued to drive until I reached my house. I wasn't hearing any noises or seeing any fluids, so I decided to look at the manual when I reached the house. I pulled into the driveway and my husband asked what was wrong with my back tire. He could see the tire on the driver side. It was leaning almost sideways. He looked under the car and said it had rusted off. It was completely broken off of the axle. I called AAA to have them tow it to a dealership to make the repairs. The tow driver looked under the car and stated that the passenger wheel was doing the same thing. My car has just a little over 100,000 miles on it. Everyone tells me that this should not happen, and it may be a defect issue. Now over a month later my car is still at the dealership because Nissan has no ETA on when, if ever they will have a right control arm, part # 555014BAOA. If they ever make one, I am still responsible for 5000.00 on repairs. I am out of a vehicle; it has no trade in value. I work every day. I need a vehicle and I am stuck because Nissan won't supply a part. I truly hope someone will investigate this issue. If it happened to me, I'm sure it must have happened to other Nissan owners as well. If they're using defective metal parts, they should be held accountable. I was fortunate enough to make it home without and accident. If those wheels would have come off as I was driving, I could have been injured or killed, and other vehicles and their passengers could have met the same fate. I beg of you to please investigate this further. The consumer stated that the manufacturer has now provided an ETA on the arrival of the replacement part. The consumer will have to pay out of pocket for the repairs.
The transmission failed. The vehicle is not in my possession anymore it was sold to Carmax in May 2023. My safety and safety of others was put at risk in my opinion. The car would randomly not accelerate, I would have to pull over and restart the car. This at times would help and I would have no problem moving forward. Often it would not help and I would continue to not be able to accelerate. On the highway pulling over to restart the car or not being able to accelerate is scary. The car would at times not start and needed time to rest it seemed before I could get it to start again. The vehicle was inspected by Nissan in Chicago, IL twice, first on 5/23/22 and second on 3/14/23. The reports are attached. On 5/23/22 Nissan found nothing to explain the issue I described of not being able to accelerate but they stated-possible transmission issues that had not failed yet. It had also been inspected by an independent dealer several times- with no findings. No warning lights came on until March 2023 which is when I brought it to Nissan the second time on 3/14/23 hoping the warning light would give them more information. They found many other things that needed to be worked on but no mention of transmission issues. The report is attached. The Batavia Mobil recommended the transmission being replaced after their inspection on 5/1/23 and that is attached.
I tried to update the Navigation SD card on this 2015 Nissan Rogue through the official website (www.Navigation.com) and am told that due to technical issues this vehicles navigation cannot be updated. I feel that this is a safety issue as these maps are at least 8 years old and if followed in unknown areas can lead to accidents. Would like to see this resolved by forcing Nissan to address this problem.
I was driving at approximately 25mph in a subdivision and my car turned off. I pulled over immediately to try to crank it but it would not crank. I noticed smoke coming from the engine so I exited the vehicle with my child. The smoke got way worse within a few minutes and then the front engine was engulfed in flames.
I first started noticing this transmission acceleration problem about a year ago when my vehicle has been in stop-and-go traffic for at least 30 minutes or more, the transmission feels like it is going to stall. Pressing on the gas won’t accelerate the vehicle or it is very slow to start moving no matter how hard the gas pedal is pressed. The rpm speeds to 4-5 x1000 but the transmission gear feels stuck at 40mph max. Usually I have noticed that if I am able to pull over and stop the car for a few minutes, I can restart the car engine and didn’t’t see signs of the problem again. My husband believes it’s a transmission and gear shift problem that once the Rogue has been in stop-and-go traffic the system isn’t shifting gears correctly. It put myself and my husband at risk since we took the vehicle on a road trip, my husband finally witnessed this happening. It usually only happened to me when I’m coming home sitting in traffic. When I got off the freeway to surface streets, being stuck at stoplights or stop signs had this issue occur a couple of times. I took my vehicle to my local Nissan dealer for inspection but the tech. said they couldn’t mimic/reproduce the problem/issue I was reporting. No other inspection has been made. And no warning lights came on during the problem the few times it has happened. The engine was really loud this most recent time because I was unable to stop and pullover right away. I am open to having my vehicle inspected further for this issue.
