2018 Nissan Rogue SUV: Hood suddenly flew open while driving about 30-35 mph. I was able to safely pull over; although hood and fenders were damaged, I could close the hood and subsequently brought it to a Nissan dealer. A tech at the dealership identified the problem as a "frozen" (open) hood latch. I am awaiting an insurance adjuster to inspect the car. There were no warnings or any symptoms of problems prior to this incident. Had this happened at faster speeds, or on a multi-lane highway, who knows what consequences could have ensued.
Water has been making passenger’s side seats wet both rear and front. Making fungus to grow. That could result in poor health. Its been more than a year. Earlier suspected that water might have been spilled. But its always wet.

Regardless of activating device - key FOB, dashboard switch, foot or trunk latch - trunk closes by itself halfway after opening, impacting operator in the head causing injuries. Dealer refuses to investigate without $150 service charge for the obvious software defect.
REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE. CAR HAS 26500 MILES AND IT'S GOING TO THE SHOP FOR THE 2ND TIME SINCE I'VE HAD IT IN 2 MONTHS. THE 1ST INCIDENCE WAS THE DRIVERS WINDOW NOT ROLLING UP AND DOWN PROPERLY. BOTH TIMES, CAR HAS BEEN STATIONARY. THE WAY THE REAR DOOR IS NOW, THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE DRIVEN.
KEEP GETTING WARNING MESSAGE WHILE DRIVING - THIS WARNING APPEARS WHEN THE BLIND SPOT WARNING/LANE DEPARTURE WARNING OR FORWARD COLLISION WARNING SYSTEMS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE BREAKS WHILE DRIVING WILL SEEM TO SHAKE. LIKE I DON'T HAVE CONTROL OF THEM. WATER COMING IN THROUGH THE HATCH/TRUNK OF CAR. SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS BRAND NEW CAR.
THERE IS SEPARATION (GAP) OCCURRING BETWEEN THE FRONT BUMPER COVER AND FENDERS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE. THERE IS ALSO SEPARATION (GAP) OCCURRING BETWEEN THE REAR BUMPER COVER AND QUARTER PANELS. THIS IS NOT NORMAL FOR A BRAND NEW VEHICLE AS I PURCHASED IT NEW. THE MAJOR CONCERN IS THAT WHETHER THE PANELS WILL SEPARATE WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT THAT COULD RESULT IN INJURIES TO OCCUPANTS OF MY VEHICLE OR OTHERS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP OF PURCHASE AND THEY REPAIRED ONLY THE LEFT FRONT SIDE SO I AM NOT SATISFIED AS I CAN STILL SEE THE GAPS. THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY GAPS BETWEEN THE PANELS AT ALL. IT IS STRESSFUL HAVING TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WHILE WORRYING ABOUT IF SOMETHING COULD HAPPEN. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN USA ABOUT THE ISSUE. NOT SURE EXACTLY WHEN THE GAP STARTED BUT NOTICED IT AROUND 08/01/2019. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN ACCIDENT OR ANYTHING.
3/23/19 WHILE DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF THE FREEWAY HWY 101SOUTH TO SAN FRANCISCO THE SUNROOF OF MY NISSAN ROGUE 2018 EXPLODED.
