2015 Nissan Rogue

I was getting ready to load groceries in the back of my 2015 Nissan Rogue as I have done many times and lifted the lift gate. I let go because the gate always stays up on it's own but this time it came crashing back down with major force and hit me in the head. I was stunned to say the least and have a huge lump on my head. The lift gate is not staying up now. This model only opens from the lift gate release on the door (not on the key Fob). I am hurt but this could have been so much worse. I saw a recall # online for this issue - recall # 16V219000, but was told there isn't a recall of this type on my vehicle.

My issue was with the car’s CVT, specifically related to the torque converter (code P0744). I was driving on the highway, driving up hill on a busy interstate and my car suddenly and very noticeably decelerated/lost engine power such that even attempting to accelerate by pushing the pedal all the way to the floor would not allow me to recover my speed. This put me as well as drivers in my surrounding area at risk as cars and semis had to suddenly brake and began honking and attempting to pass. This could have easily caused a serious accident. The problem has been confirmed by the dealer and the recommendation was to replace the transmission and add a component to help prevent overheating for around $8,000. They admitted that this is a known issue and there have been lawsuits, yet no recalls have occurred. The dealer that confirmed the issue was a Nissan dealership and therefore I would assume qualifies as the manufacturer. There were no warning lamps, messages, or any symptom/indication of a problem prior to this occurrence; not even the manufacturer proactively reaching out to warn of the potential for this to occur based on others’ experiences with the CVT. Here is a link to the video provided of the inspection performed by the dealer https:// [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle hesitated and jerked before stalling. After restarting the vehicle, the vehicle returned to normal functionality however, the failure became a regular failure. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and was diagnosed with transmission failure. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 50,000. The consumer stated that half of the cost of repair was initially going to be covered by the manufacturer but that was later denied by them. The vehicle exceeded the allotted time for reimbursement.

I was driving in 90°F weather for over an hour on the freeway, and it felt like my car's power cut out. This caused my vehicle to decelerate to 40mph while on a busy freeway, leading me to fear for my and others' safety. I turned the car off, waited for 15 minutes at the exit, and began moving again, only for the same issue to occur again. This time I stayed longer and decided not to push the car past 3k RPM, and made it home. The issue occurred once several months ago, and now it has happened twice on the same trip. There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms before the power was cut off. I took the car to an independent service center, and they could not diagnose the problem.

Air bag light will not go out. Had it “repaired” twice by Nissan dealership in past 2 years. Light again on and will not go out. I saw a couple of recalls pertaining to air bag sensors (16V911000, 16V244000, 22V024000) but was told these do not apply to my VIN. Also, since August 1, 2023, the rear hatch back door will not stay up and came down unexpectedly on my head. I saw there was a recall for my year car for the hatch issue (recall #16V219000) and notified Nissan on 8/8 but I was told my VIN is not part of that recall either. This hatch is a very real hazard as it will not stay up for loading and unloading items. I feel both of the air bag light and the hatch pose ongoing hazards if not remedied. Having these two items addressed and repaired at Nissan’s expense is desirable since my vehicle is within the recall years and is exhibiting the issues noted in the recalls. Your helping in getting this to Nissan’s attention would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Passenger seat occupant sensor co troller and drivers side rear airbag failed and need to be replaced. Airbag light remained on and faults diagnosed by Nissan service. Failed sensors mean airbag likely May not deploy in the event of impact. Found article that there was a recall on this for this vehicle in 2016 but this sites say no recall. This is over $6000 in repairs for product failure

On Wednesday June 21st, I was driving home when a warning light came up on my vehicle. It said: Warning Chassis Control Error see owner's manual. I continued to drive until I reached my house. I wasn't hearing any noises or seeing any fluids, so I decided to look at the manual when I reached the house. I pulled into the driveway and my husband asked what was wrong with my back tire. He could see the tire on the driver side. It was leaning almost sideways. He looked under the car and said it had rusted off. It was completely broken off of the axle. I called AAA to have them tow it to a dealership to make the repairs. The tow driver looked under the car and stated that the passenger wheel was doing the same thing. My car has just a little over 100,000 miles on it. Everyone tells me that this should not happen, and it may be a defect issue. Now over a month later my car is still at the dealership because Nissan has no ETA on when, if ever they will have a right control arm, part # 555014BAOA. If they ever make one, I am still responsible for 5000.00 on repairs. I am out of a vehicle; it has no trade in value. I work every day. I need a vehicle and I am stuck because Nissan won't supply a part. I truly hope someone will investigate this issue. If it happened to me, I'm sure it must have happened to other Nissan owners as well. If they're using defective metal parts, they should be held accountable. I was fortunate enough to make it home without and accident. If those wheels would have come off as I was driving, I could have been injured or killed, and other vehicles and their passengers could have met the same fate. I beg of you to please investigate this further. The consumer stated that the manufacturer has now provided an ETA on the arrival of the replacement part. The consumer will have to pay out of pocket for the repairs.

The occupant t sensor (OCS) is faulty, and keeps flashing nonstop for months. My passengers are unsafe. The dealer confirms the problem wants to charge $1,500, but I see it is a recurring problem. However, even though my vehicle is within the range of vehicles recalled (Rogue 2014 through 2017), my vin # is not showing a recall, and I would like to know why it was not included - as it should be. Please be advised that it might have to do with the model designation as "Rogue Select" instead of "Rogue". The Rogue Select is essentially the same vehicle as the 2014 Rogue , they just renamed it adding "Select" when they introduced the new design in 2015 because they could not have two vehicles with the same name. Please investigate.
