2016 Nissan Rogue

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE IT CUT OFF AND A GOT A MESSAGE STATING TO CHECK THE CHASSIS CONTROL SYSTEM ERROR. IT WAS TAKEN TO DEALER ON FRIDAY DECEMBER 29, INITIALLY THEY SAID AFTER RUNNING NUMEROUS TEST THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG SO THEY GAVE ME THE KEYS AND AS SOON AS I DROVE OFF IT DID AGAIN, I IMMEDIATELY WENT BACK AND THEY WERE ABLE TO SEE THE MESSAGE . THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE AND CALLED ME TO INFORM ME THAT THEY WOULD BE PUTTING A NEW CONTROLLER IN THE VEHICLE. ON TUESDAY JAN 2 I WAS TOLD MY CAR WAS READY, I PICKED IT UP DROVE HOME WITH NO PROBLEM. ON JAN 3 I DROVE TO AND FROM WORK WITH NO PROBLEM. AT APPROXIMATELY 700 AS I WAS GETTING READY TO GO TO CHURCH I TURNED THE CAR ON THEN ALL OF SUDDEN THE LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING AND IT WOULDN'T MOVE OR TURN OFF, I ALSO GOT THE MESSSGE AGAIN. MY BOYFRIEND DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY SO THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF. TOMORROW JAN 4 I WILL BE GETTING IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP .

I KEPT HEARING A LOUD CLICKING OR POPPING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT TO MANEUVER IN AND OUT OF PARKING SPACES. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER ONLY TO BE TOLD IT WAS A BENT PIECE OF METAL BY A ROTOR. I DROVE THE CAR FROM THE DEALER STILL HEARING THE POPPING NOISE. I CALLED NISSAN USA AND GOT A CASE NUMBER. THE NOISE GOT LOUDER SO I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER ON 12/16/17. THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS THE ENTIRE FRONT SUSPENSION THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED. MILES ON THE CAR ARE APPROXIMATELY 24,000 AND COVERED UNDER THE 36,000-MILE WARRANTY. I AM GLAD THE CAR IS FIXED BUT I AM CONCERNED THAT A $35,000 VEHICLE IS REQUIRING SUCH MAJOR WORK WHEN ONLY A YEAR AND A HALF OLD.

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH ON A CITY STREET JUST STARTING TO MOVE FORWARD FROM BEING STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT, THE REAR WINDOW SUDDENLY SHATTERED. THE MILEAGE WAS SLIGHTLY OVER 19,000 MILES. THE CAR IS 23 MONTHS IN TO A 36 MONTH LEASE. NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY WAS HAPPENING THAT DAY, CLEAR SKIES AND 50 DEGREES. NISSAN CLAIMS SINCE IT ISN'T A "MANUFACTURERS RECALL" ITEM IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER FULL WARRANTY. SINCE IT IS A LEASE, I MUST USE NISSAN CLASS WHICH IS ALMOST 3 TIMES AS EXPENSIVE AS GLASS FROM A THIRD PARTY. TO TOP IT OFF, I HAVE DRIVING IN A RENTAL CAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE LAST 7 DAYS AT $35 PER DAY. NISSAN FINALLY CALLED ME BACK (7 DAYS LATER).

EVERYTHING IN THE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY. THE SEATS AND THE HOOD MOST NOTICEABLY SHAKE. I'VE STOPPED BEFORE TO CHECK THAT IT WAS LATCHED OUT OF FEAR OF THE HOOD OPENING WHILE I'M DRIVING. THE SHAKING IS NOT AS BAD WHEN THE TIRES ARE ROTATED BUT IT EVENTUALLY RETURNS WITHIN A FEW WEEKS. IT HAS DONE THIS SINCE I PURCHASED IT. THE CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 23,000 MILES ON IT.

THE NISSAN ROGUE HAS A VIBRATION ON THE LEFT SIDE. CAN BE FELT WHEN HOLDING THE STEERING WHEEL. BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION AT THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES MORE THAN A YEAR AGO. LAST TIME THEY SAID THERE WILL BE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AS MY VEHICLE IS AFFECTED. AFTER CHECKING W/DEALERSHIP A FEW MORE TIMES, THERE IS STILL NO NEWS OF GETTING THIS RESOLVED. THIS HAPPENS WHILE I'M DRIVING AND IT MAKES ME NAUSEOUS.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, I HEARD A LOUD POP, LIKE A GUNSHOT AND SUDDENLY THE GLASS FROM MY SUNROOF WAS FALLING ON ME. I HAD A HOLE IN THE SUNROOF AND THE GLASS WAS FALLING ON ME WHILE DRIVING. NOTHING HIT MY CAR, IT JUST EXPLODED RANDOMLY- I HAD NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED. I CALLED 911, POLICE CAME,AND LATER HAD THE SUNROOF REPLACED

CAR FEELS LIKE SOMEONE IS PUSHING GAS PEDAL AN LETTING GO DURING SLOW 30 MPH. DEALER SAID NORMAL. HEATER WOLD WORK ON HEAT AFTER MOTOR WAS HEATED APPROX AFTER TEN MINUTES DRVING TIME AN COULD HEAR IT KICK IN AFTERWARDS. DEALER REPLACED PARTS. STILL SAME ISSUES.DEALER TECH SAID NORMAL. I HAVE OLD CAR SITTING OUTSIDE HEATS WITHIN SECONDS. TAKES THIS ONE TEN MINUTES OR MORE DRIVE TIME TO HEAT EVEN THOUGH IT'S GARAGE KEPT..HOOD CONSTANTLY BOUNCES FOR NEW CAR. DEALER MADE ADJUSTMENTS TWICE. STILL SAME ISSUE. JUNKIEST CHEAP CAR I EVER OWNED AN WISH HADN'T PURCHASED IT!

A/C LINE INSTALLED DIRECTLY ABOVE ALTERNATOR. ON EXTENDED DRIVING TRIPS WITH A/C OPERATING AT MAXIMUM, CONDENSATION/MOISTURE ATTACHED TO LINE DRIPS FROM LINE ONTO ALTERNATOR CAUSING BATTERY LIGHT ON DASHBOARD TO FLICKER MOMENTARY. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS PERIODICALLY AND THE DEALER/NISSAN IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THE MALFUNCTION BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE WHEN TECHNICIAN RUNS A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. I INSTALLED INSULATION BOUGHT AT LOWE'S AND THE PROBLEM CEASED TO OCCUR. I THEN REMOVED THE INSULATION AND THE MALFUNCTION OCCURRED AGAIN (REPEATEDLY). I REINSTALLED INSULATION AND MALFUNCTION CEASED. TAKING THAT ACTION AND THE RESULT IS EVIDENCE THAT THE PROBLEM IS A DESIGN FLAW. I REQUESTED THAT NISSAN INSTALL PREFABRICATED INSULATION AS SEEN ON THE 2006 HONDA CRV WHICH HAS THE SAME A/C LINE CONFIGURATION, INSTALLED ABOVE THE ALTERNATOR. THAT IS TO PREVENT ALTERNATOR BEING RENDERED INOPERATIVE FROM CONSTANT MOISTURE INFUSION.
