The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, there was an abnormal burning odor coming from underneath the driver's side of the vehicle. The battery was immediately replaced. The contact stated that while making a right turn, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was restarted and driven to the residence. On another occasion, the contact stated that while driving at various speeds with the accelerator pedal depressed, the vehicle started to lose motive power and failed to accelerate as intended. The air bags, brake, battery, and check engine warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and the contact was informed that the battery and starter relay needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 126,000.

During heavy rain storms the internal gutter under the sunroof fills with rainwater and fails to drain out through the weep-hole drain tubes located in the corners. This backed up rainwater then spills into the vehicle, onto the visors and even onto the driver and front seat passnger's heads. It distracts the driver, runs down and soaks the headliner and posts, and it will sooner or later penetrate the dashboard electrical systems causing all kinds of short circuits and danger. In my case, the dealer, several years ago, cleared out the internal weep-hole drain tubes using compressed air. But it now continues to flood, especially during a sudden heavy rainstorm. (The drain tubes need to be enlarged, and the seal around the sunroof-glass need to be improved).
