Nissan Rogue electrical problems

I PARKED THE CAR ON FRIDAY EVENING ON STREET, CAUGHT FIRE ON SUNDAY MORNING, NEIGHBORHOOD CALLED FIREFIGHTERS AND FIREFIGHTERS DID THEIR JOB BUT I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT. MY HOUSE WAS COUPLE OF BLOCKS AWAY. I SAW MY BURNED CAR ON MONDAY AFTERNOON. BURNED STEERING WHEEL AREA, BRAKE AREA AND DASHBOARD. I COLLECTED FIRE INCIDENTS REPORT FROM FDNY AND IT MENTIONED HEAT SOURCE WAS ELECTRICAL ARCING AND OTHER. I HAD TO MOVE THE CAR BECAUSE IT WAS ON THE STREET.

WITHOUT WARNING, THE ENGINE IN MY CAR INTERMITTENTLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. THE CAR LOSES POWER TO THE STEERING WHEEL AND BREAKS. BECAUSE THE CAR IS IN MOTION WHEN THIS OCCURS, I CANNOT PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART IT. I HAVE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND TURN THE KEY TO RESTART IT. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO OCCUR WHEN DRIVING THE CAR FOR LONGER DISTANCES, ALTHOUGH NOT ON THE HIGHWAY. USE OF THE AIR CONDITIONER OR HEAT SEEM TO MAKE THE ISSUE WORSE. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASH ONCE PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING. THE BATTERY IS STILL ON, SO THE RADIO IS STILL OPERATIONAL, AS ARE ALL OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS. I OFTEN DON'T KNOW THAT THE ENGINE HAS SHUT OFF UNTIL I TRY TO ACCELERATE OR BREAK AND AM UNABLE TO DO SO. IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE. I HAVE ALMOST CAUSED MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR A 5 POINT INSPECTION AND TO HAVE THEM DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I WAS TURNED AWAY AND THEY ADVISED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE.

THE CONTROL PANEL DISPLAY LOOKS TO BE OUT. IT IS VERY HARD TO READ. IT ONLY DIMS OR BRIGHTENS BUT IS NOT CLEAR ENOUGH TO READ. THIS HAPPENED FROM ONE DAY TO THE NEXT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT 2 YEARS OLD YET AND THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. THIS WAS NOT DUE TO AN ACCIDENT IT APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM SEEMS MORE LIKELY, CAUSE BY A FAULTY ELECTRONIC COMPONENT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE "CHECK STEERING LOCK" MESSAGE APPEARED AND A CHIME WAS HEARD AFTER TURNING THE IGNITION TO SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKING UPON TURNING OFF OR RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATED THAT THERE WAS NO STEERING LOCK FUNCTION. THE DEALER (MODERN NISSAN OF WINSTON SALEM, 5795 UNIVERSITY PKWY, WINSTON-SALEM, NC 27105, (336) 767-8260) INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, BUT DID NOT PROVIDE A DIAGNOSIS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO STEERING LOCK FUNCTION; THEREFORE, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE POWER DROPPED TO THE CAR. THE RPMS DROPPED DOWN TO ALMOST ZERO, THE POWER TO THE RADIO AND FAN MOTOR STOPPED AS WELL. I WENT FROM 65 MILES PER HOUR TO 35 MILES PER HOUR IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. THANKFULLY I WAS NOT HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. THE SECOND ISSUE IS THAT THE ENGINE FEELS LIKE IT MIGHT STALL UPON START AFTER SITTING ALL DAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE THIRD ISSUE IS THAT THE BLUETOOTH RADIO SYSTEM HAS A WHISTLING SOUND WHEN TRYING TO USE THIS AND BE SAFE WHILE DRIVING. THE FOURTH ISSUE IS THAT THE INTERIOR BACK DOOR PULLS TO CLOSE THE DOOR BOTH POP OUT AND CANNOT BE PUSHED BACK INTO PLACE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN AWAY FROM ME FOR A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME SO NISSAN CAN TRY AND MAKE REPAIRS. CONSUMER AFFAIRS TOLD US THAT SIMPLY THERE WAS NO FIX FOR THE BLUETOOTH ISSUE AND THAT THE BACK DOOR PULLS WAS A DESIGN FLAW FROM THE MANUFACTURER.

CAR WAS BOUGHT IN MARCH 2018. AROUND 1 MONTH INTO DRIVING THE CAR THE RADIO AND DASH DISPLAY STARTING DOING ITS OWN THING. ONE WOULD SAY RADIO ON, THE OTHER RADIO OFF. AT TIMES, THE CONNECTION MENU WOULD COME AND FREEZE. GOT INTO THE CAR AND STARTED IT AND THE CD STARTED PLAYING LOUDLY, WHICH WAS STRANGE AS WHEN I PARKED AND GOT OUT OF THE CAR I ALWAYS TURN THE RADIO OFF. BLIND SPOT INDICATOR FAILED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN PASSING A TRACTOR TRAILER. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH A STORM COMING THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS WENT OUT ALONG WITH LIGHTS GOING DIM FOR NO REASON SEVERAL OTHER TIMES. HAD ONE INSTANCE WHEN PULLED THE WIPERS TO CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD, THE SPRAYER WORKED BUT THE WIPERS DID NOT. ALOT OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES. TOOK TO DEALER 4 TIMES IN A MONTH SO THEY COULD "DUPLICATE" THE PROBLEMS, I ADVISED THAT THERE IS NO PATTERN TO THESE PROBLEMS. THEY TOLD ME TO CALL NISSAN USA IN TENNESSEE, I DID AND WENT BACK AND FORTH AND THEY SENT A NISSAN TECH TO THE DEALERSHIP. HE DIDN'T DRIVE THE CAR AND ADVISED WE DELETE ALL PHONES FROM THE CAR AND DRIVE IT THAT WAY FOR A FEW WEEKS. ALL PROBLEMS STILL GOING ON. NISSAN USA CALLED TODAY AND SAID TO GO BACK TO THE DEALER, THE CASE IS CLOSED AND THE DEALER MAYBE CAN WORK WITH US ON IT. THEY REASSURED ME THAT WE STILL HAVE THE WARRANTY SO THESE PROBLEMS ARE STILL COVERED. ALL INSTANCES HAPPENED WHETHER DRIVING, STARTING OR PARKING THE CAR. SO 4 TRIPS, 2 RENTAL CARS AND 2 DAYS OF MISSED WORK IN A MONTH AND DRIVING WHAT WE FEEL IS AN UNSAFE CAR.
