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.
