The driver’s and passenger’s side front doors and tailgate door failed to open intermittently. Additionally, the front and rearview camera failed to display intermittently.

I contacted Nissan July 2018 and was told there were no reports of the issue I was having... Unfortunately what I've experienced seems to be common. I occasionally work as a self employed artist and on long trips my Rogue will refuse to speed up. It doesn't matter how hard I press the gas pedal. It's like something isn't connecting. Nissan said they couldn't find any reports of this happening but I see many complaints. The suv refuses to go over 20mph, sometimes even lower. This issue has put my life at risk many times and I'm wondering what it will take for something to change!? It happened going uphill multiple times and seems to happen when traffic is at a stop and go. The only recall issue I saw had to do with snow and salt getting in somewhere. This seems to happen when it's warmer outside.

First problem occurred on Sunday, August 15, 2021 (Mileage: 4,514) when the dashboard displayed: "Engine Malfunction, Power Reduced, Service Now" Warning light came on. The same day, I left a VM with Service Manager at CONICELLI dealership (as well sent pic and video of another repeat problem w/the front passenger window) who called me back the next morning stating if the WARNING message is off its okay to drive it to dealership in which I did on 8/16/2021 (by the way, when arriving the warning did not display, but again I had taken picture) After having my vehicle for a little over any hour I was told they had to call NISSAN about the problem and they were instructed to replace a sensor, the gear shift, and battery (since I had been having problems with starting the vehicle, it takes 2-3 "PUSH START" before the vehicle turns on. Now because it will take about 3 weeks for all the parts to come in it okay for me to drive the vehicle since the warning light went off. I said that I DID NOT feel safe driving the vehicle and want to be placed in a rental until they can complete the repairs. The Service Manager (Mark) said again since the light was off its okay, I just need to be concern if the comes back on begin flashing. I did not think it should be driven until the repairs was done because it is an unsafe condition for me and everyone else on the road. But I took the vehicle. The next morning the light came back on and stayed (Mileage: 4,594) on for the enter 45 minute drive and it did not drive well (it was sluggish). I called and complained to NISSAN HQ and Service Manager, Mark at CONICELLI. They only want to repair the sensor and battery because they have those parts and call me when the gear shift comes in and I return to get that fix. I was like that's unacceptable, I don't want a partial fix I want the problem fully fixed and I want a rental while YOU wait all the parts. He wants me in rental but none available, YET I reserved a rental after R call.

Recalls for model years of 2014-2016 as well as 2013 sentras due to passenger air bag sensor malfunction. Recall states the the sensor doesn’t detect when passenger is in seat and will not deploy in event of accident. Drive a 2013 rogue sv with same exact issue as described in recall for other vehicles but 2013 model year not included in recall when this is a prevelant issue with Nissan among many makes and models and for many years. Very hazardous to have a passenger in vehicle and air bags keep saying they are turned off. Big safety issue and don’t understand how Nissan is not including 2013 rogue in airbag recall when It has the same exact issue that is stated in recall but instead of fixing their major safety defect that could put many children , adults , elderly in a deadly situation. They decide to not include rogue from 2013 and instead are trying to charge over 1000 to replace the seat to fix their sensor defect. Please investigate as I’m certain there are many other rogue with the same issue as what has been diagnosed by Nissan was this exact problem they recalled for other model years and are fixing but yet want to charge when this is a dangerous known issue from Nissan across several makes and model years as well as generations
