2011 Nissan Rogue

THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE WHILE PARKED OVERNIGHT IN A GARAGE. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WAS ENGULFED IN SMOKE AND MUCH OF THE INTERIOR DRIVER'S SIDE MELTED WITH THE HEAT. MY FAMILY WOKE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT TO THE SOUND OF THE HORN CONTINUOUSLY BLARING. WE DISCOVERED A SMOLDERING FIRE INSIDE THE CAR WHICH WAS EXTINGUISHED BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS REMOVED FROM OUR PROPERTY AND IS BELIEVED TO BE A TOTAL LOSS. WE LATER DISCOVERED A RECENTLY-ISSUED RECALL FOR CORROSION OF THE ELECTRICAL HARNESS BELOW THE FLOOR MATS, CAUSING A SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL PANEL - THIS APPEARS TO BE THE CAUSE OF THE INCIDENT BUT IT IS CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION BY OUR INSURANCE COMPANY AND NISSAN NORTH AMERICA. *JS

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE DUE TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE SPECIFICS OF THE FAILURE EXPERIENCED WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V032000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ROUGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WOULD SPORADICALLY FLASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE OCS CONTROL UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXHIBITING THE SAME FAILURE LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V521000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,234.

BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVE WAY THE POWER STEERING WOULD MAKE A NOISE AND MOMENTARILY CATCH. THIS HAPPENED FOR ABOUT10 DAYS AND I TOOK IT TO MY CAR REPAIR SHOP AND THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS LEAKING ON THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL PANEL WAS MALFUNCTIONING. I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW ELECTRONIC COLUMN ASSEMBLY. I HAD IT TOED TO THE NISSAN DEALER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AFTER THE RPM GAUGE FLUCTUATED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT TURNS ON AND THE AIRBAG SHUTS OFF WHILE A PERSON IS SITTING IN THE SEAT AND THE CAR IS IN MOTION. THIS HAPPENED AT 50,000 MILES AND NISSAN REPLACED THE SEAT. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AT 79,000 AND NISSAN WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP TURNED OFF THE BLINKING LIGHT BUT AGAIN WHEN A PERSON SAT IN THE SEAT THE AIRBAG TURNED OFF AGAIN. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE NOT SURE IF THE AIRBAG IS WORKING. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY (100,000 MILES) BUT THEY STILL REFUSE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT NISSAN HAS RECALLED OLDER AND NEWER MODELS OF THE ROGUE. I DID RESEARCH ON-LINE AND THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH ROGUES AND OTHER NISSAN VEHICLE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM FOR THE SAFETY OF PASSENGERS BECAUSE FOR NO REASON THE AIRBAG MALFUNCTIONS DURING USE AND WHERE IT IS SAFE TO PULL OVER. I CALLED THE NISSAN COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT AND THEY TOLD ME I SHOULD BE HAPPY BECAUSE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND IT OCCURS MORE FREQUENTLY. I'M NOT HAPPY OR IMPRESSED, STILL NO RECALL. PLEASE HELP THERE ARE CITIZENS THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND NISSAN IS IGNORING US. *JS

ON SEPTEMBER 26, 2013 I HAD BROUGHT MY 2011 NISSAN ROGUE CAR IN FOR SERVICE BECAUSE MY REAR RIGHT DOOR WAS NOT LOCKING/UNLOCKING PROPERLY, AS IT TURNED OUT THE LATCH WAS DEFECTIVE, IT WAS REPLACED. TWO MONTHS LATER, I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE DRIVER''S DOOR WAS HAVING PROBLEMS LOCKING/UNLOCKING. AS IT TURNED OUT THAT LATCH WAS DEFECTIVE AS WELL. (THAT LATCH WAS REPLACED ON DECEMBER 3, 2013.) DURING THIS VISIT I ASKED THAT ALL THE DOORS BE CHECKED (WHILE UNDER WARRANTY) BECAUSE IT SEEMED THAT PERHAPS THIS WAS A DEFECT IN THE CAR''S MANUFACTURING. MY WARRANTY HAS SINCE EXPIRED AS OF MAY, 2014 AND TWO MONTHS LATER IN AUGUST, 2014 THE REAR DRIVER''S DOOR AND NOW THE FRONT PASSENGER''S DOOR ARE MALFUNCTIONING. (DOORS HAVE TO BE OPEN/CLOSED AND LOCKED/UNLOCKED MANUALLY.) THIS NOT ONLY IS A BURDEN, BUT AS A SINGLE WOMEN IT IS A SECURITY RISK NOT ONLY TO MY PERSON BUT TO THE VEHICLE ITSELF. I HAD CONTACTED DEALERSHIP ON BOTH OF THESE ISSUES AT THE TIME OF THE MALFUNCTIONS, AND THEY HAD ADVISED ME THAT THEY CAN ONLY REPAIR THE PROBLEM AT MY EXPENSE SINCE THE WARRANTY HAS SINCE RUN OUT. (NEEDLESS TO SAY, I REALLY DON''T UNDERSTAND THE DEALERSHIP''S POSITION ON THIS ISSUE CONCERNING THE PROBLEMS LEADING UP TO A TOTAL MALFUNCTIONING OF LOCKING/UNLOCKING SYSTEM, SINCE IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE AND WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM AT THEIR DEALERSHIP.) *TR

WHILE RELOCATING FROM MD TO TN (APPROX. 11 HOURS) IN JULY, TRAVELING THE INTERSTATE VEHICLE BEGAN LOSING ACCELERATION AFTER ABOUT 2 HOURS OF DRIVING. VEHICLE NEVER STOPPED NOT OVERHEATED. AFTER BRIEF RESTING PERIODS (15 MINS OR MORE), VEHICLE'S PERFORMANCE IMPROVED BUT NEVER RETURNED TO NORMAL. UPON ARRIVAL TO TN, VEHICLE WAS CHECKED FOR CLOGGED FUEL INJECTORS AND OIL/BATTERY LEVELS AND FUNCTIONS. ALL WERE FINE. CHANGED GAS FROM REGULAR TO PREMIUM TO MINIMIZE/CORRECT POSSIBLE PROBLEMS. A FEW WEEKS LATER, A 3 HOUR TRIP WAS TAKEN AND THE ISSUE RECURRED. TOOK THE CAR TO CARMAX WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND THEY TRIED TO RECREATE THE ISSUE AND HAD THE VEHICLE ALL DAY WITHOUT DUPLICATION. IN AUGUST, RELOCATED FROM TN TO GA, APPROXIMATELY A 3 HOUR TRIP, AND THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. TOOK THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR EVALUATION, CAR WAS THERE FOR ALMOST A MONTH AS THE ROOT CAUSE WAS A FAULTY TRANSMISSION SETTING THAT PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM ACCELERATING IF THE TRANSMISSION GOT TOO HOT. TURNS OUT THE SETTING WAS SO LOW THAT THE ABOVE-MENTIONED PROBLEMS OCCURRED. I ENDED UP HAVING TO HAVE A TRANSMISSION REPLACED IN A RELATIVELY NEW CAR (3 YRS OLD). *TR

THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE AWL, PURSHCSED NEW FROM MAGUIRE NISSAN LEBANON, PA THE ORIGINAL TIRES ARE DUNLOP SP SPORTS 7000AS LINE SIZEP225/55R18/SL. THE VEHICLE UNDER 10,000 MILES PRODUCED A WHIPPING SOUND WHICH ALTERED IN PITCH WITH THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. THESE TIRES WERE ROTATED PER MANUFACUTES INSTRUCTION, ALIGNED AND BALANCED EVERY 5000 MILES. THE CAR WAS TAKEN BACK TO MAGUIRE NISSAN ON THREE OCCASSIONS AT WHICH TIME THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THE TIRES WERE DEFECTIVE . THE NISSAN CORPORATION WAS CONTACTED BY ME AND SO WAS DUNLOP TIRES. THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THREE OF THE TIRES SHOWED BUMPS ON THE TREAD SURFACE, BUT REFUSED TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR POOR MANUFACTURING QUALITY. THEY CLAIMED THE TIRES HAD NOT FAILED; THEREFORE, THEY HAD NO RESPONSIBILITIES TO REPLACE THESE TIRES. THE CAR HAS NOW DONE 33,000 MILES AND THE PROBLEM HAS PROGRESSIVELY WORSENED TO THE EXTENT THE NOISE FROM THE TIRES ARE DEAFENING AND RESULTS IN SEVERE STRAIN AND NOISE FATIGUE WHILE DRIVING. I RECENTLY HAD AN ESTIMATE TO REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES AND THE COST PER WAL MART WOULD BE $964. THE NTSB?S RECORD IN PURSUING THESE CORPORATE CRIMINALS AND ENSURING THE SAFETY OF THE MOTORING PUBLIC HAS AT BEST BEEN INDIFFERENT AND AT WORST COLLUSIVE AND COMPLICIT. DO PEOPLE RECALL THE TIRE FAILURES ON FORD EXPLORES, THE IGNITION SWITCHES DEBACLE IN GMC VEHICLES AND THE ACCELERATOR ISSUES WITH TOYOTA. LET US SEE IF YOU HAVE ANY TEETH OR ARE YOU THE TOOTHLESS WONDERS THAT THE PUBLIC HAVE NOW COME TO BELIEVE YOU ARE?
