MY NISSAN ROGUE IS 2 YEARS OLD WITH 31,500 MILES. I WAS ACCELERATING ONTO THE HIGHWAY ON RT 2, NEAR EXIT 59 IN MASSACHUSETTS ON TUESDAY 3/20, AND THE ENGINE IN THE CAR TURNED OFF WHILE ACCELERATING, GOING ABOUT 55 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER SAFELY. I TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO RESTART THE CAR, BUT THE ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MARLBORO NISSAN, WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR. THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE CAR STILL WOULD NOT START WHEN IT ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE NEXT DAY, IT STARTED AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. THEY WANT ME TO TAKE THE CAR HOME WITH NO EXPLANATION AND NO FIX. I FEEL COMPLETELY UNSAFE GETTING BACK BEHIND THE WHEEL OF A CAR WHERE AN ENGINE JUST TURNS OFF FOR NO REASON. I AM TOLD BY NISSAN CORPORATE CONSUMER AFFAIRS THAT THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HELP IF THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE A SECOND TIME. THIS IS DANGEROUS, AND I AM AT A LOSS WITH WHAT TO DO NEXT. GETTING BACK IN THAT CAR ON A HIGHWAY PUTS NOT ONLY MYSELF, BUT OTHER DRIVERS AROUND ME AT RISK FOR A FATAL ACCIDENT.

THE CAR HAD BEEN PARKED 6:30 P.M. IN PRIVATE DRIVEWAY. AT 2:20 A.M. I WAS ALERTED BY MY NEIGHBOR . HE HAD SEEN THROUGH THE WOODS A FIRE, CALLED THE FIRE DEPT. HE THOUGHT OUR HOUSE WAS ON FIRE AND RAN OVER TO SEE IF WE WERE OK. IT WAS NOT OUR HOUSE BUT OUR 2015 NISSAN ROGUE.WHEN HE WOKE US THE CAR WAS TOTALLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPT ARRIVED MINUTES LATER AND IT TOOK AWHILE TO PUT THE FIRE TOTALLY OUT. NOTHING REMAINS OF THE CAR EXCEPT THE FRAMING. I HAD PURCHASED THIS CAR SIX MONTHS EARLIER WITH 20,000 MILES. IT HAD JUST TURNED 30,000 MILES. THERE WAS NO SIGN ANYTHING WAS AMISS, NO WARNING LIGHTS, ODD SOUNDS, NOTHING. WE LIVE IN A RURAL AREA, WOODED MILES OFF THE MAIN ROAD SO I DO NOT SUSPECT THIS WAS DONE BY HUMAN HANDS. I CAN ONLY IMAGE THIS WAS SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL SHORT THAT WAS SLOWLY SIMMERING FOR HOURS. THE CAR HAD ONLY BEEN DRIVEN HOME (20 MILE TRIP) AND PARKED. THE FIRE OCCURRED 8 HOURS LATER. THERE WAS NOTHING FLAMMABLE AROUND THE CAR. I FULLY BELIEVE THE CAR SELF IGNITED DURING THE EVE. I CALLED NISSAN TO REPORT THIS BEFORE I EVEN CALLED MY INSURANCE AGENT. I ASKED FOR AN INVESTIGATION. IF THIS CAR HAD BEEN PARKED IN THE GARAGE I COULD HAVE ALSO LOST MY HOME AND MY FAMILY. I DOUBT THIS IS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT, AND I FEAR OTHERS MY NOT BE SO FORTUNATE AS TO LOOSE ONLY THE CAR AND NO OTHER DAMAGES. THE CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN AWAY AND IS TO BE INVESTIGATED MARCH 23,2018. *TT

THERE IS SOMETHING DESPERATELY WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION/POWER IN MY VEHICLE. I LOSE POWER WHEN GOING UP HILLS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE CONTINUAL, LIKE UP A MOUNTAIN PASS! THERE IS A SUPER HIGH PITCHED NOISE WHEN THE CAR RUNS FOR OVER AN HOUR, LIKE SQUEALING. TOLD THERE IS NO PROBLEM AT NISSAN DEALERSHIP, THIS IS NOT TRUE. THE NOISE HAPPENS IN EVERY GEAR WHEN IT STARTS AND DOESN'T STOP UNTIL THE CAR COOLS AGAIN. THE POWER IN VEHICLE THAT IS LOST UP HILLS, WILL KEEP IT FROM EVER GOING ABOVE 60 UNTIL SEVERAL HOURS LATER. THE POWER IS LOST IN THE WHOLE VEHICLE, IT LAGS AND SOMETIMES NOTHING HAPPENS DURING THIS POWER LOSS WHEN PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL. THE LOSS OF POWER IS SO MUCH THAT IT CAN'T CONTINUE TO GO UP HILLS SOMETIMES AND I'VE HAD TO PULL OVER! VERY SCARY ON A MOUNTAIN PASS!

RECALL 16V-244 MALFUNCTION OF OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT: SYSTEM DOES NOT RECOGNIZE ADULT IN PASSENGER SEAT. NISSAN "FIXED" THIS SYSTEM IN 2016. IT MAY HAVE BEEN WORKING PROPERLY BEFORE THEIR "FIX". IT IS NOW NOT WORKING AND HAS NOT BEEN WORKING PROPERLY FOR QUITE A WHILE AND NISSAN NORTH AMERICA WILL NOT "FIX" IT AGAIN, AS THEY EXPECT ME TO PAY THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE AT A MINIMUM. I WILL NOT AGREE TO THAT. THEY NEED TO CONDUCT THE DIAGNOSIS AT THEIR COST AND FIX THE RECALL AGAIN. THIS ACTION BY NISSAN NORTH AMERICA SMELLS LIKE A SCAM. WHAT SHOULD I DO? LAST CONTACT WITH NNA WAS ON 2/19/18

Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Driver contact with a key in the collapsed position could inadvertently shut off the vehicle while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, if the vehicle shuts off while driving, the air bags may not deploy in a crash as intended, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: Dealers will insert a spacer into the key slot of the jackknife key, free of charge. Interim notification letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed March 29, 2023.

Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Corrosion in the electrical connector can result in power window/seat failure, all-wheel-drive warning light illumination, battery drainage, and electrical connector damage that increases the risk of a fire.
Remedy: Dealers will remove the harness tape and harness covering and replace both connectors and apply white lithium grease to the connectors as necessary, free of charge.

An incorrect Occupant Classification System (OCS) Electronic Control Unit (ECU) may have been installed in the front passenger seat.

Remedy: Nissan will notify their owners. Chevrolet City Express owners will be notified by General Motors. Dealers will reprogram the Air Bag Control Unit (ACU) and OCS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) in Altima, Maxima, Murano, Rogue, and Sentra vehicles, and replace the OCS ECU in LEAF, NV200, NV200 Taxi, Pathfinder, Infiniti Q50, JX35, and QX60 and Chevrolet City Express vehicles, free of charge.

As such, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 114, "Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention."
Consequence & remedy

Consequence & remedy

During the assembly process, the front wheel hub assembly fasteners may not have been properly torqued.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: The under-torqued fasteners may result in a brake caliper separating from the wheel assembly causing a reduction in braking performance or reduced steering control. These conditions increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles and tighten any loose bolts to the proper specification, free of charge. The recall began February 2, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.
