2009 Nissan Rogue

This winter a crack in the seal opened up on the driver's side wheel well. We were not aware of the crack. We noticed that the car was collecting water in the carpets down on the floor board. The water became increasingly worse over time down on the floor of the car. We tried looking for leaks and drying out the car with towels. We could not find the leaks. We tried to dry the car out as much as possible, yet, every time my soon drove the car to school at Everett Washington Community College the water became increasingly worse down on the floor of the car. So, my son stopped driving the car for a couple of months. So, I bought the car from my son. He got a different car. I tried to start the car last Sunday at 3pm in the afternoon. Flames started down on the carpet directly below the pedals. Black, dark smoke billowed out from below the steering column. I ran into my kitchen to put out the flames. The battery is damaged too. The battery is leaking acid out of the side and bulging on one side. I took it to the dealership. To see if it could be repaired.

I contacted Nissan July 2018 and was told there were no reports of the issue I was having... Unfortunately what I've experienced seems to be common. I occasionally work as a self employed artist and on long trips my Rogue will refuse to speed up. It doesn't matter how hard I press the gas pedal. It's like something isn't connecting. Nissan said they couldn't find any reports of this happening but I see many complaints. The suv refuses to go over 20mph, sometimes even lower. This issue has put my life at risk many times and I'm wondering what it will take for something to change!? It happened going uphill multiple times and seems to happen when traffic is at a stop and go. The only recall issue I saw had to do with snow and salt getting in somewhere. This seems to happen when it's warmer outside.

RECALL -HARNESS CONNECTOR (TORQUE CONVERTED SOLENOID CIRCUIT INTERMITTENT) PREVIOUS RECALL WASN'T COMPLETED PROPERLY AS I CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE INTERMITTENT ERRATIC BEHAVIOR OF THE POWER TRAIN AND RELATED CIRCUITRY, TWO WEEKS AFTER THE MANUFACTURER SAID THEY FIXED THE HARNESS CONNECTOR INSPECT AND REPLACE RECALL (ROGUE CONNECT) THAT WAS PLACE ON THE CAR. THE CAR JERKS UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY OR HESITATES AT STOP THEN TAKES OFF SUDDENLY AT HIGH SPEED. I LIKE FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO LOOK INTO THIS AND PROPERLY ADDRESS THIS RECALL BY FIXING THIS ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE THEY BUILT WHICH I STILL CURRENT DRIVE. A DIAGNOSTIC SCAN WAS DONE AT AUTOZONE AND I WAS TOLD THE TORQUE CONVERTER SOLENOID CIRCUITS ARE INTERMITTENT AND THAT IT'S DUE TO A DAMAGED TRANSMISSION WIRING HARNESS THAT IS EITHER LOOSE OR OPEN CIRCUIT IN THE SYSTEM AND MAY CAUSE A FIRE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE AIR CONDITIONER BLEW HOT AIR AND THE DRIVER SIDE BLINKER LIGHT FLASHED RAPIDLY AT TIMES. THERE WAS ALSO A BURNING ODOR WHEN DRIVING UPHILL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A FAILURE WITHIN THE FUSE AND/OR RELAY PANEL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.
