2011 Nissan Rogue

Drove home, while attempting to park, (car was in motion) vehicle stalled & steering locked, lights on dash flicked off, radio went off then came back on. This happened 4 times while I attempted to park. Finally parked vehicle successfully & turned car off. This happened several times in recent months but only for a few seconds also on another occasion was unable to turn steering wheel once vehicle was on. Tonight was the worst experience, alarming. I plan to take SUV in for check up tomorrow.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDERGOING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED DUE TO WATER LEAKAGE THAT CAUSED AN ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE. THE CONTACT WAS MADE AWARE OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V032000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT ASSOCIATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,200.

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR SUDDENLY LOSES POWER, AND DOES NOT ACCELERATE. IF I AM GOING UP A HILL OR HUMP, THE CAR WILL STALL. AT TIMES, HAVE TO FIND AN ALTERNATE ROUTE WHEN DRIVING BECAUSE THE CAR WILL FAIL TO ACCELERATE. I AM AFRAID TO TRAVEL ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS WHERE THERE ARE HILL OR ELEVATED AREAS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY NOT ACCELERATE. I MUST DRIVE SOMETIMES WITH MY HAZARD LIGHTS BECAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHTS OFTEN FAIL TO COME ON. *JS

SINCE APRIL OF 2011 (VEHICLE WAS 4 MONTHS OLD) I HAVE HAD MY CAR INTO NISSAN FOR AUTO LIGHTS NOT FUNCTIONING (NOT SHUTTING OFF WHEN IN DAYLIGHT), MY IPOD TURNS ON WHEN THE AUDIO IS OFF AND THE ELECTRONIC DRIVER SEAT MOVES FORWARD BY ITSELF. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED AND "SERVICED" MORE THAN 10 TIMES ALREADY AND EACH TIME IT IS "CANNOT REPRODUCE ALTHOUGH THEY SEE IT HAPPENING. THE LAST INCIDENT WAS SATURDAY, 12/14/12 WHEN THE SETTING ON THE DASH CHANGED BY THEMSELVES AND MY TRUNK WOULD NOT OPEN WITH THE IGNITION ON. ON SUNDAY MORNING, MY CAR ENGINE WAS LOCKED AND MY SMART KEY NOR THE REGULAR KEY WOULD UNLOCK THE STEERING COLUMN. I WAS OUT OF STATE WHEN IT OCCURRED AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A DEALER IN CT, I LIVE IN NY. NOW THEY CLAIM THAT ALL THE ABOVE WAS CAUSED BY A UNDERSIZED BATTERY. THEY INSTALLED A 700AMP IN MY CAR NOW STANDARD BATTERY THAT CAME WITH THE CAR IS 575 AMP. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE? HOW CAN THEY SAY THIS IS THE ISSUE. HOW CAN THEY MANUFACTURE CARS WITH UNDERSIZED BATTERIES AND NOT HAVE IT ON A RECALL OR ISSUES LIST ANYWHERE? EVEN THE DEALER IN CONNECTICUT WAS PUZZLED. I CANNOT SAY IOF THIS IS GOING TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT I CAN TELL YOU, I WILL NOT TAKE THIS LYING DOWN. NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS IS TOTALLY USELESS AND THERE IS NO CONSUMER IN THIS DEPARTMENT, THEY ARE A WASTE OF TIME. I FILED TWO COMPLAINTS 8 MONTHS APART REGARDING THE SAME ISSUES # 7274639 AND 10257638. BOTH WENT UNRESOLVED AND IGNORED., THEY KEEP CLAIMING THEY ARE WITHIN THEIR WARRANTY GUIDELINES. WHAT GUIDELINES - THE VEHICLE IS AN OBVIOUS LEMON. NOT SURE HOW TO FILE FOR THE LEMON LAW OR ACT ON THIS AS THIS CAR IS UNSAFE AND UNRELIABLE. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *TR
