2021 Nissan Rogue Sport

While in drive mode my car just shut off. The dash cluster, screen, etc remained on. I was able to put the car in park and start it again, however this could have caused me a horrible accident losing power while in drive like this. I just purchased this vehicle in June of 2024. It has 81k on it. I called the dealership which I bought it at Mccarthy Auto in Sedalia MO. They said I should call Nissan.

The contact owns a 2021 Nissan Rogue Sport. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the vehicle was difficult to start and there was dust coming out of the vents. The contact stated that several unknown warning lights were illuminated. Additionally, there was an oil leak coming from the timing chain cover. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the failure could not be duplicated; however, the dealer changed all the filters, changed the oil, and provided the contact with another key to the vehicle. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer on several occasions due to the oil leak. The contact stated that while turning and reversing the vehicle, the contact heard a cracking noise coming from the steering wheel and the floorboard of the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired due to the warranty being expired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 3,794.

The contact owns a 2021 Nissan Rogue Sport. The contact stated that while their daughter was diving at highway speeds (mph unknown) in the rain with the cruise control turned off suddenly the vehicle began excessively turning to the left. The vehicle began spinning out of control and hitting the guard rail approximately 3 times before stopping on a bed of grass. The air bags did not deploy. The contact had injuries such as bruises and soreness to the left side of the body. There was no medical attention. There was no police report filed. The vehicle had not been repaired. The vehicle was towed by the contact's insurance company and then had the vehicle towed to persons associated with Nissan (the contact was unsure of the exact location), however, there was no diagnosis provided. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed. The approximate failure mileage was unknown.

Unknown, this is what I remember, As I was traveling on this highway I pushed the lane correcting button on because it was raining and I don't like being out in the rain. I had put on my Cruse control and after about halfway to the exit I turned the Cruse control off so that the vehicle could slow down and I could cost to the exit however out of nowhere my steering wheel starts pulling to the left so I tried to turn it back to align with the back of my truck and the steering wheel was stuck it would not move so, I braced myself for impact. I am still scared. No one will help me and the vehicle is available for request if need be. I really could have been killed and someone else too if they had been near me at the time of the accident. The guard rails saved me from going into the opposite side of traffic on the highway. Because of what I was doing no one will help me. So I don't know what to do now. There were no warning signs before the accident however I did have an oil change and my tires rotated 3 weeks before my accident. Everything happened on the day of my accident. No 1 will look at it. My insurance will not cover me so they will not help and the people I was driving for are basically not responsible and now I am out of my vehicle and I need it inspected but no 1 will help me.

The steering wheel and brake peddle locked (unable to steer or pump brakes) causing me to lose control of the car. I ended up sideswiping a tree and rear-ending a parked pickup truck, totaling my car. This malfunction was an ongoing issue that I initially reported to the dealership which the car came from and also after occurring 2 additional times (with video evidence). The dealership stated that because they were unable to duplicate the malfunction, they could not fix the problem and due to my state's Lemon Law, Nissan Corporate could not get involved until the same malfunction occurred for a 4th time. This exact malfunction (unable to steer or pump brakes) had only occurred while the car was in reverse but unfortunately for me, the 4th occurrence happened while the car was in drive. My son and I are VERY fortunate to have walked away from this very avoidable accident with minor injuries, although the trauma will be there for a while.
