TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE RETAINED EXCESSIVE WATER IN THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE CARPET. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.
IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED ON OTHER MODELS BUT NOT MINE APPARENTLY. THE HOOD LATCH ISSUE, MY HOOD SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY WHILE DRIVING OVER 65 MILES AN HOUR. YOU CAN VISIBLY SEE THE HOOD SHAKING IT IS LOUD AND IT IS VERY SCARY THINKING THE HOOD MIGHT BLOW OFF THE CAR

I BOUGHT THIS 2015 NISSAN ROGUE SL BRAND NEW, WITH THE PLASTIC STILL ON IT. SINCE I'VE OWNED IT I HAVE HAD NOTHING EXCEPT PROBLEMS WITH THE DRIVERS SEAT. NAMELY THE FRAME OF THE SEAT HAS BEEN REPLACED 2 TIMES. THE PLASTIC COVERING ON THE SIDE OF THE SEAT WITH THE POWER SEAT CONTROLS HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES. THE LATEST THIS PAST WEEK. THEN THE CHROME MOLDING ON TOP OF THE DRIVERS DOOR KEEPS COMING OFF AND HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES. THEN BACK TO THE SEAT ISSUE. I MIGHT ADD THAT THE PLASTIC PART OF AT THE BOTTON OF THE PASSENGER SEAT ON THE SIDE IS NOW NEEDING REPLACED. AS FAR AS THE DRIVERS SEAT GOES, WHEN ACCELERATING OR STOPPING, IT CLICKS. SO I EXPECT THAT THE FRAME WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN SOON. THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH THIS IS THAT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS BOUGHT IS GETTING TIRED OF FIXING THIS STUFF. THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE NOT SURE HOW MANY MORE TIMES NISSAN WILL WARRANTY THIS STUFF OUT. WE SHALL SEE. WITH ALL MY ISSUES, I AM NOT SO SURE I WANT TO KEEP THIS ROGUE SL FOR THE DURATION OF THE LOAN. LET ALONE PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN VEHICLE.

I WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON MILITARY TRAIL PREPARING TO TURN RIGHT AT PIPERS GLEN. THE LIGHT WAS GREEN AND THERE WAS A WHITE CAR IN THE MIDDLE LANE WAITING TO ENTER MILITARY. I SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE MY TURN AND SUDDENLY MY CAR ACCELERATED. IF I CONTINUED TO TURN THERE WAS NO DOUBT I WOULD HAVE HIT THE WAITING CAR. I PROCEEDED STRAIGHT, PASSED THIS CAR AND DROVE ONTO A GRASSY AREA. MY FRONT WHEEL HIT THE CURB WHICH SLOWED MY CAR BUT PUSHED ME ALONG THE SIDE OF THE WHITE CAR CAUSING DAMAGE TO BOTH CARS. THE FIRE TRUCKS CAME AND A POLICE CAR. SINCE NO ONE WAS HURT I WAS INSTRUCTED TO LEAVE MY CAR THERE TO BE TOWED . MY SON PICKED ME UP AND I CALLED THE TOWING CO. ABOUT 1 HOUR LATER I WAS CALLED AND TOLD THE TOW WAS ON THE WAY. WHEN WE ARRIVED TO WHERE MY CAR WAS I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE THE FRONT LIGHTS ON. THERE WAS A MOTOR NOISE AND THE HOOD WAS HOT . WHENWE LEFT THE CAR THERE IT WAS LOCKED AND THE MOTOR WAS NOT ON. IF THIS WERE NOT THE CASE I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO LOCK THIS CAR HAVING A KEYLESS ENTRY. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT EVER DRIVING THIS CAR WITH LESS THAN 10,000 MILES. I CALLED BOTH NISSAN AND THE REPAIR COMPANY AND REPORTED WHAT HAPPENED. THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD SCAN THE CAR BUT SOMETIMES NOTHING SHOWS UP. I USE MILITARY TRAIL ALMOST EVERY DAY AND PIPERS GLEN LEADS TO MY HOME. I AM HAPPY THAT NO ONE WAS HURT BUT HAUNTED BY REALIZING WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED IF I ATTEMPED TO MAKE THAT RIGHT TURN.BOTH THESE ROADS ARE CITY STREETS.I HAVE NO PICTURESEXCEPT FOR MY MEMORY.

Opened May 31, 2024 · No close date supplied
Status: open (inferred from source dates) · Air Bags:side/window:curtain
The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received multiple Early Warning Reporting (EWR) field reports alleging inadvertent deployment of the side curtain air bags in Model Year (MY) 2015 Nissan Rogue Select vehicles.

Inadvertent deployment of an air bag can cause occupants to be injured or result in the loss of protection from the air bag when needed in a crash. ODI is opening this Preliminary Evaluation (PE) to assess the scope, frequency, and severity of the inadvertent deployment allegations.
