Nissan Rogue electrical problems

MY NISSAN ROGUE 2012 CAUGHT FIRE. UPON STARTING THE CAR WHEN THE IGNITION TURNED OVER, THE IGNITION COIL CAUGHT FIRE! THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND IN THE SHOP AND I HAD BROUGHT IT IN AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. THE MECHANIC STATED IT STEEMED FROM THE ELECTRICAL HARNESS. THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL FOR NISSAN ROGUE INVOLVING A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL HARNESS FROM 3/7/07-11/26/13. I WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INVOLVED BY THE DEALER AND CALLED NISSAN TO FIND OUT IF MY VIN COULD BE ADDED. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULDN'T BE AND THAT NISSAN HAD "NO LIABILITY". I AM JUST THANKFUL THAT I WAS NOT IN THE VEHICLE AS I HAD READ THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAD THEIR CAR, AS WELL AS OTHERS, CATCH FIRE AND THE BACK OF THEIR HOUSE AND OR GARAGE! THIS WAS EXTREMELY SCARY! I AM CONCERNED THAT IT MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN WHEN I DRIVE IT. I AM VERY DISMAYED THAT NISSAN DIDN'T LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM. THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHAT PART WAS INVOLVED IN THE RECALL OF THE OTHER VEHICLES, DESPITE ME ASKING AND THEY STATED SINCE IT WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER THEY WOULD ALSO NOT ADD IT TO THE RECALL. THEY ALSO STATED SINCE I HAD NOT TAKEN THE ROGUE TO A NISSAN DEALER, THEY COULD NOT ADD IT TO THE RECALL! I HAVE DRIVEN NISSANS FOR OVER 20 YEARS. MY 1990 NISSAN STANZA WAS PART OF A RECALL. AT THE TIME THE VEHICLE COST ME $1500 (I WAS A STRUGGLING GRAD STUDENT) AND HAD NEVER SEEN A DEALER UNTIL I LEARNED OF THE RECALL. HOW CAN WE HOLD THEM RESPONSIBLE FOR A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THEY DID NOT EVEN INVESTIGATE OR CALL THE SHOP? THEY SIMPLY REFUSED TO TAKE ACTION OR CONSIDER THE FACT THAT VIN NUMBERS THAT WERE NOT LISTED IN THE RECALL COULD HAVE BEEN AFFECTED. I AM VERY DISHEARTENED IN THE MANNER IN WHICH THEY PROVIDED THE RESPONSE (AN "OH WELL" TYPE OF ATTITUDE) TO AN ISSUE THAT WAS THIS SERIOUS! IT IS NOT THE MONEY, BUT THE FACT THAT IF I WAS IN IT, I COULD HAVE LOST MY LIFE!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF, THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS, SUCH AS THE RADIO AND INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATORS REMAINED ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LARRY H. MILLER NISSAN HIGHLANDS RANCH (1320 PLUM VALLEY LN, HIGHLANDS RANCH, CO 80129, (720) 907-0718) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRICAL UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPLAYED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS UNLOCKED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT WAS COLD OUTSIDE AND THE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROCKAWAY NISSAN (600 BURNSIDE AVE, INWOOD, NY 11096) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED DUE TO A DENT ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO VISIBLE DENT OR IMPACT TO THE DOOR TO CAUSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,115.

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.

​I WAS DRIVING MY 2017 NISSAN ROGUE ON A ROUTINE TRIP FROM MY HOME TO MY OFFICE. I WAS TURNING THROUGH A RESIDENTIAL INTERSECTION WHEN MY CAR SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING MID-ACCELERATION. I WOULD ESTIMATE I WAS GOING NO MORE THAN 5-7MPH AS I ACCELERATED FROM THE STOP SIGN INTO 25 MPH. BECAUSE I WAS GOING UP A SLIGHT INCLINE, I WAS ABLE TO PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL AND COAST BACKWARDS OUT OF THE INTERSECTION. I CONTACTED AAA AND WAITED FOR THEM TO RUN THEIR BATTERY TESTS. AFTER RULING OUT BATTERY ISSUES, I HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO ENCOURAGED ME TO TAKE IT TO NISSAN DUE TO A COMPUTER MALFUNCTION. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THAT WHAT HAPPENED SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN. NISSAN PUT IT THROUGH THEIR OWN TESTS TO DETERMINE WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED WITH THE COMPUTER. THEY LATER FOUND THAT A ​​WIRE HAD BEEN RUBBING AGAINST A BOLT. THE WIRE WAS THE WIRE THAT CONNECTS THE COMPUTER TO THE ENGINE. AS EXPLAINED TO ME: THE WIRES OF THE CAR ARE ALL BUNDLED TOGETHER AND INSIDE OF A "PROTECTIVE" TUBE. THE TUBE WAS RUBBING AGAINST THE BOLT, THEN OPENED UP, EXPOSING THE WIRES. THE WIRE THAT HAPPENED TO BE THE ONE THAT CONTINUED TO BE IN CONTACT WITH THE BOLT WAS THE WIRE THAT THEN SHORTED THE COMPUTER AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. THEY ENSURED ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT I DID THAT CAUSED THIS BUT THEY WERE UNSURE WHY THE WIRES/TUBE WAS IN THE LOCATION THAT IT WAS. IT WAS A LITTLE OVER 1,000 MILES OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY (MY CAR HAD 37,300 MILES ON IT) AND REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ​I ATTEMPTED CONTACT WITH NISSAN NORTH AMERICA MULTIPLE TIMES, THE FIRST WOMAN EVENTUALLY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AS IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. WHEN I ASKED TO SPEAK TO HER SUPERVISOR, SHE NEVER RETURNED MY CALLS.

NISSAN JUST RELEASED A CUSTOMER INITIATIVE LETTER PERTAINING TO THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM THAT STATES THE SYSTEM MAY ACTIVATE ON ITS OWN CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STOP SUDDENLY. NISSAN APPARENTLY HAS A FIX FOR IT BUT IT HAS TO HAPPEN FIRST. THIS SYSTEM ALREADY HAD A PROGRAM UPDATE APPLIED TO IT AND THE SYSTEM STILL DEACTIVATED ITSELF AFTER DRIVING. THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS SYSTEM AND IT IS STILL NOT FIXED. *DT MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED.*JB
