WE HAVE STOPPED DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT & UNTIL WE GET A SOLUTION, IN THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS MY NISSAN ROGUE STARTED MAKING TERRIBLE NOISES UNDERNEATH THE ENGINE AREA, LIKE METAL ON METAL SOUNDS.

IF WE WANT THE CAR FIXED WE WERE TOLD BY THE NISSAN DEALER THE COST WOULD BE ABOUT $700. BECAUSE THE DOORS WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD IN THE EVENT WE WERE INCAPACITATED INSIDE THE CAR,OR A CHILD WERE TO GET STUCK INSIDE THE VEHICLE.
