2012 Nissan Rogue

MY NISSAN ROGUE 2012 CAUGHT FIRE. UPON STARTING THE CAR WHEN THE IGNITION TURNED OVER, THE IGNITION COIL CAUGHT FIRE! THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND IN THE SHOP AND I HAD BROUGHT IT IN AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. THE MECHANIC STATED IT STEEMED FROM THE ELECTRICAL HARNESS. THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL FOR NISSAN ROGUE INVOLVING A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL HARNESS FROM 3/7/07-11/26/13. I WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INVOLVED BY THE DEALER AND CALLED NISSAN TO FIND OUT IF MY VIN COULD BE ADDED. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULDN'T BE AND THAT NISSAN HAD "NO LIABILITY". I AM JUST THANKFUL THAT I WAS NOT IN THE VEHICLE AS I HAD READ THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAD THEIR CAR, AS WELL AS OTHERS, CATCH FIRE AND THE BACK OF THEIR HOUSE AND OR GARAGE! THIS WAS EXTREMELY SCARY! I AM CONCERNED THAT IT MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN WHEN I DRIVE IT. I AM VERY DISMAYED THAT NISSAN DIDN'T LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM. THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHAT PART WAS INVOLVED IN THE RECALL OF THE OTHER VEHICLES, DESPITE ME ASKING AND THEY STATED SINCE IT WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER THEY WOULD ALSO NOT ADD IT TO THE RECALL. THEY ALSO STATED SINCE I HAD NOT TAKEN THE ROGUE TO A NISSAN DEALER, THEY COULD NOT ADD IT TO THE RECALL! I HAVE DRIVEN NISSANS FOR OVER 20 YEARS. MY 1990 NISSAN STANZA WAS PART OF A RECALL. AT THE TIME THE VEHICLE COST ME $1500 (I WAS A STRUGGLING GRAD STUDENT) AND HAD NEVER SEEN A DEALER UNTIL I LEARNED OF THE RECALL. HOW CAN WE HOLD THEM RESPONSIBLE FOR A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THEY DID NOT EVEN INVESTIGATE OR CALL THE SHOP? THEY SIMPLY REFUSED TO TAKE ACTION OR CONSIDER THE FACT THAT VIN NUMBERS THAT WERE NOT LISTED IN THE RECALL COULD HAVE BEEN AFFECTED. I AM VERY DISHEARTENED IN THE MANNER IN WHICH THEY PROVIDED THE RESPONSE (AN "OH WELL" TYPE OF ATTITUDE) TO AN ISSUE THAT WAS THIS SERIOUS! IT IS NOT THE MONEY, BUT THE FACT THAT IF I WAS IN IT, I COULD HAVE LOST MY LIFE!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING OVER 30 MPH, THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER (VALDOSTA NISSAN CADILLAC, 3685 INNER PERIMETER RD, VALDOSTA, GA 31602, (229) 242-7325) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE MORE THAN TWICE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER LATER INDICATED THAT THE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE. THE SENSOR WAS STATED TO HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY THE DEALER'S MECHANIC, BUT THE TPMS INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED AFTER THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD FOLLOW-UP WITHIN 48 HOURS. THE CONTACT HAD NOT HEARD BACK FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE. *TT*JB

12/22/2018 MY NISSAN ROGUE CAUGHT FIRE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. WE WERE ONLY ALERTED BECAUSE THE HORN DEFAULTED BECAUSE OF THE FIRE. FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE WITH SOME DIFFICULTY. THEY ASSURED US IT WAS ELECTRICAL. INSURANCE CO. TOTALED THE CAR. UPON MY OWN RESEARCH THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. NISSAN HAS NOT ACCEPTED RESPONSIBILITY IN ANY OF THEM. THANK GOD NO ONE WAS INJURED. THE STRESS AND FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY LAYS WITH THE CUSTOMERS.

WHENEVER MY CAR IS IN MOTION, WHEN TRYING TO CLIMB A HILL, IT WOULD STOP AUTOMATICALLY. AND OFTEN TIMES, I WOULD HAVE TO REVERSE MY CAR, TURN IT OFF AND GENTLY DRIVE IT UP THE HILL FOR FEAR THAT IT MAY SHUT ITSELF OFF. I HAVE HAD TO CHANGE THE AIR MASS FLOW 3 TIMES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE SEPTEMBER, AND WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP, THE DIAGNOSES CAME BACK AS THE AIR MASS FLOW, AFTER I HAVE JUST REPLACED IT. THE CAR WOULD AUTOMATICALLY NOT GET GAS FOR NO APPARENT REASONS. I AM NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY ANY LONGER.

VEHICLE IN THE SHOP FOR A MAJOR OIL LEAK, 2 KEY FOBS DON'T WORK, RECALL, LEAKING SUNROOF, AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHING. QUOTED 3500 TO REPLACE SEAT/MODULE, 350. FOR OIL ISSUE, 1400. SUNROOF. I INHERITED THIS CAR IN 2013 WHEN MY MOTHER PASSED AWAY AND IT ONLY HAS 20000 MILES ON IT. I COULD BUY ANOTHER NEWER USED CAR AT THIS RATE!! THIS IS REDICULOUS FOR A VEHICLE WITH SO LOW MILES TO HAVE THIS MANY ISSUES. AT THIS RATE I WILL NEVER PURCHASE OR RECOMMEND NISSAN AGAIN. PLEASE ADVISE. THANKS, DEB

VEHICLE WAS NOT RUNNING AND PARKED IN OUR GARAGE IN LANCASTER, MA PHONE # [XXX]. EARLY MORNING 1/15/18 VEHICLE'S KICK PANEL MALFUNCTIONED STARTING A FIRE WHICH DESTROYED PART OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, MELTED AND /OR BURNED PARTS OF THE DASHBOARD AND DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AREA. THE INTERIOR AND CONTENTS OF VEHICLE WAS HEAVILY DAMAGED/DESTROYED. RESPONDING LANCASTER FIRE DEPARTMENT PERSONNEL STATED THAT FIRE STAYED CONFINED TO VEHICLE INTERIOR DUE TO WINDOWS BEING CLOSED AND THE FIRE BURNING OUT WHEN OXYGEN WAS CONSUMED. ALL CONTENTS OF GARAGE WERE HEAVILY SMOKE DAMAGED. RESEARCH REVEALED THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL IN 2015 WHICH WAS COMPLETED ON OUR END WITH THE DEALER REPLACING A HARNESS. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

MY VEHICLE, A 2012 NISSAN ROUGE CAUGHT ON FIRE IN MY DRIVEWAY WHILE MYSELF AND THE OTHER MEMBERS OF OUR HOME WERE SLEEPING. WHEN I WOKE UP TO A LOUD POPPING NOISE AND RAN TO MY BEDROOM WINDOW FACING THE DRIVEWAY WHERE ALL OF THE VEHICLES WERE PARKED I NOTICED MY VEHICLE, THE NISSAN ROGUE BURNING INTENSELY. THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE IN THE FRONT WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. 911 WAS DIALED IMMEDIATELY AFTER WAKING AND NOTICING AN OBVIOUS FIRE COMING FROM THE 2012 NISSAN ROGUE, AT APPROX. 11:00 PM. BY THE TIME THE FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED, 3 OTHER VEHICLES IN OUR DRIVEWAY, ALONG WITH THE 2012 NISSAN ROGUE, WERE RUINED. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WAS SALVAGEABLE. THE FIRE WAS SO INTENSE THAT IT MELTED ALL OF THE SIDING ON THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE FACING THE DRIVEWAY WHERE THE FIRE OCCURRED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, INCLUDING THE FIRE CHIEF AND FIRE MARSHALL CONDUCTED AN INVESTIGATION AND EXPLAINED TO ME, AS WELL AS THE OWNERS OF THE OTHER VEHICLES, THAT THEY BELIEVE THE FIRE WAS ELECTRICAL AND OBVIOUSLY STARTED WITH THE 2012 NISSAN ROGUE AND ULTIMATELY SPREAD TO THE OTHER VEHICLES BEFORE THE FIRE COULD BE COMPLETELY EXTINGUISHED.
