2015 Nissan Rogue

HOOD LATCH- IN MOTION- HIGHWAY. THE HOOD WILL NOT SECURELY LOCK INTO PLACE. WHEN CLOSED/LATCHED THE HOOD CAN STILL BE MOVED UP AND DOWN. IT VISIBLY MOVES AT FREEWAY SPEEDS CAUSING DISTRACTING LINE-OF-SIGHT AND VIBRATING/SHUTTERING FEEL WHILE DRIVING. ALSO CAUSES HEIGHTEN ANXIETY FOR FEAR THAT THE HOOD WILL FLY UP WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE A DEADLY ACCIDENT. I HAVE WITNESSED AN ALARMING NUMBER OF NISSAN ROGUES AND OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES WITH HOODS VIOLENTLY SHAKING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. A SIMPLE VISUAL EXAMINATION OF NISSAN VEHICLES AT FREEWAY SPEEDS WILL SHOW THAT THIS IS A PREVALENT AND WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. NISSAN'S OWN INSTRUCTIONS STATE THAT "THE HOOD SHOULD LOCK INTO PLACE." OTHER NISSAN PRODUCTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS AND IT IS A TREACHEROUS OVERSIGHT THAT THIS MODEL OF NISSAN ROGUE HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. REPORTING RECALLS IS NOT AN OBVIOUS PROCESS TO MOST VEHICLE OWNERS. A LOW NUMBER OF REPORTS IS NOT AN INDICATION OF A NEGLIGIBLE PROBLEM. LIVES ARE AT RISK. ACTION IS REQUIRED.

MY WIFE AND I ON FRIDAY APRIL 19,2019 LOST ACCELERATION ON THE CAR AND WE HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE HIGHWAY IN PENNSYLVANIA.WE HAD TO GET THE CAR TOWED.TRIPLE A TOWED IT TO ABLE AUTO SHOP.THE OWNER JOHN TELLS ME IT IS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND THAT HE DOESN'T WORK ON TRANSMISSIONS.I THEN HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO LEE MYLES IN MT POCONO AND DOMINICK TELLS ME THE TRANSMISSION IS SHOT.SO I AM NOW BEING TOLD THAT NISSAN HAS NO WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSION.I AM VERY UPSET AND DISAPPOINTED WITH NISSAN.

REPORTING THE ISSUE OF MY BLIND SPOT WARNING LIGHTS GOING OFF CONSTANTLY. THESE LIGHTS WILL GO OFF WHEN NO OTHER CARS ARE AROUND ME. THIS IS A HUGE DISTRACTION AND CAUSES MORE OF A NON-SAFETY FEATURE THAN A SAFETY FEATURE. THESE LIGHTS GO OFF IN DAY LIGHT, EVENING, WHEN IT IS RAINING AND EVEN SUNNY. IT HAPPENS ON SINGLE LANE ROADS AND HIGHWAYS. IT IS JUST CONSTANTLY GOING OFF AND IS MORE OF A HAZARD AND I WORRY ABOUT MY SAFETY WHEN DRIVING THE CAR.

THE CAR BLIND SIDE WARNING WILL CONTINUE TO GO OFF EVEN THEN THERE AREN'T ANY CARS AROUND. THIS CAUSES MORE OF A DISTRACTION THAN A SAFETY FEATURE. THIS WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALERS ATTENTION 3 TIME WITHIN THE FIRST 2 YEARS OF OWNING THE CAR. THE ISSUE HAS CONTINUED TO GET WORSE. THE DEALER SHIP STATES THEY FIXED THE ISSUE, HOWEVER IT IS HAPPENING MORE OFTEN THAN IT EVER HAS. BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED THEY SEE THAT THERE IS DIRT/DEBRE ON THE CAMERA BUT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT THIS TO FIX IT. THE BLIND SIDE LIGHTS GO OFF IN RAIN, SHINE, SNOW AND WHEN NO ONE IS AROUND.

I HAVE ALREADY REGISTERED A COMPLAINT INVOLVING EQUIPMENT FAILURE AND SAFETY. MY 2015 NISSAN ROGUE DOES NOT HAVE INTERIOR HEAT EVEN WHEN THE CONTROLS ARE SET AT 90 DEGREES. IN TRYING COMBINATIONS OF AIR-FLOWS AS INSTRUCTED BY MY DEALER, I HAD TO LOOK DOWN TO MAKE SURE I WAS PUSHING THE RIGHT BUTTONS. TALK ABOUT DISTRACTED DRIVING. WHEN I LOOKED BACK UP, I HAD JUST ENOUGH TIME TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES SO THAT I WOULD NOT REAR END A LOGGING TRUCK (THAT WAS ABOUT A 1/2 TO FULL BLOCK AWAY WHEN I FIRST LOOKED DOWN) DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE IN MY MIND. MORE IMPORTANTLY: LAST NIGHT I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM A NIGHT CLASS (ABOUT 7 MILES). WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE LIGHT SNOW AND LIGHT FREEZING MIST. HAD MY TEMP. SET AT 90 DEGREES AND CONTROLS AT FULL DEFROST AND FULL FAN BLOWER. MY WINDSHIELD CONTINUED TO ICE UP BECAUSE OF LACK OF HEAT TO MELT THE FREEZING MIST. VISIBILITY GOT SO POOR I DIFFICULTY SEEING THROUGH MY WINDSHIELD. TRIED TO CONTROL THE VISION BY SPRAYING WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID USING WIPER CONTROLS. THIS HELPED. I CANNOT BELIEVE THERE HAS NOT YET BEEN RECALL FOR THIS HEATING PROBLEM. ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER DRIVERS THAT I HAVE READ ABOUT ON THE INTERNET THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEMS OF LACK OF HEAT. BETWEEN BEING A DISTRACTED DRIVER TRYING TO CONTINUALLY CHANGE CONTROL SETTINGS AS WELL AS AN UNSAFE DRIVER DUE TO VISIBILITY ISSUES AS EXPLAINED EARLIER, I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL MAKING THIS A NISSAN REPAIR ISSUE RATHER THAN A CONSUMER REPAIR ISSUE (COST). I HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME AND MANY OTHERS.

INTERIOR HEAT BARELY WARM WITH TEMP SET AT 90. DEALER REPROGRAMMED AIR DOOR POSITIONS & HEAT LASTED 1 DAY. 2ND VISIT TO DEALER INSTRUCTED TO CHANGE FLOW POSITIONS (SWITCH FROM OUTSIDE AIR TO CABIN RECIRCULATION). WINDOWS STEAMED UP; TOLD USE AC TO DRY OUT AIR. WOULD LIKE TO SEE A RECALL FOR THESE SAFETY CONCERNS: 1. PLAYING AROUND WITH BUTTONS TO CHANGE AIR FLOW IS DISTRACTED DRIVING, HAVING TO KEEP LOOKING DOWN TO SEE WHICH BUTTON TO TRY NEXT TO GET HEAT TO CLEAR WINDOW STEAM (DRIVING CITY BLOCKS OR DOWN THE FREEWAY WHILE LOOKING AT WHICH COMBO OF HEAT CONTROL BUTTONS TO TRY NEXT) 2. WITH CABIN CIRCULATION TURNED ON, WINDOWS CAN STAM UP SUDDENLY LIKE DRIVING THRU FOG, UNTIL I LOCATE THE DEFROST BUTTON, BUT THEN I LOST HEAT. 3. SAFETY CONCERN WITH PUTTING ON DEFROSTER AND NOT HAVING HEAT WITH WINTER DRIVING; IT IS SCARY TO HAVE SNOW FALLING & ALTHOUGH THERE IS ENOUGH AIR TO CLEAR STEAMED WINDOWS, THERE ISN'T ENOUGH HEAT TO MELT SNOW/ICE ETC. FROM WINDSHIELD. SURFING THE INTERNET, I SEE I AM NOT ALONE WITH THIS ISSUE. I ALSO LEARNED THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR FAULTY OR IMPROPER OPERATION OF HVAC. THE PRICE TO REPAIR THIS IS NEARLY $700 IF THE CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. ALTHOUGH THIS MAY SEEM LIKE MORE OF A "COMFORT" ISSUE THAN A SAFETY ISSUE IN KEEPING INTERIOR TEMPERATURE REASONABLE, BUT WHEN A PERSON KEEPS THE SETTING AT +90 DEGREES AND THE AIR BLOWING OUT IS BARELY WARM, WHEN THE WINDOWS STEAM UP BECAUSE OF IMPROPER AIR CIRCULATION, AND WHEN A WINDSHIELD CANNOT BE CLEARED OF SNOW OR ICE CREATING POOR VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING, THEN I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT WARRANTS A RECALL.

AC AND HEATER. LOWER PORTION OF THE PASSENGER SIDE BLOWS OUT COLD AIR. UNKNOW WHY BUT SEEMS LIKE I AM MISSING A PART OFF OF IT OR WHY DID IT GO OUT SO FAST. I HAVE SEEN ONLINE THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS MANY COMPLAINTS AND THE SYSTEM AND I DON'T KNOW WHY IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED YET. LABOR AND THE WAY THE ECONOMY IS RIGHT WE PEOPLE CAN NOT AFFORD HIGH PRICES LABOR TO GET VEHICLE FIX.
