Nissan Rogue electrical problems

2014 NISSAN ROGUE HAS A POSSIBLE IGNITION SWITCH ISSUE. WHEN VEHICLE IGNITION SWITCH IS SHUT-OFF, ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS, RADIO, LIGHTS ETC., LOCKS FAIL TO EITHER SHUTDOWN COMPLETELY AND ELECTRIC LOCKS DISENGAGE. THIS MAY LEAD TO FURTHER ISSUE SUCH AS IN THE GM FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH ISSUE AND THE SUBSEQUENT LOSS OF LIFE. NISSAN COMPANY HAS BEEN TOLD, BUT FAIL TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ISSUE. *TR

AFTER A VERY COLD DAY IN TENNESSEE, THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGERS SIDE DOORS IN MY NISSAN ROGUE WOULD NO LONGER OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. AFTER VISITING THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT THE BRACKET AND THE CABLE ACTUATOR IN BOTH DOORS HAD GONE BAD AND THAT THE COST FOR THE REPAIR WOULD BE OVER $1,000. THE FACT THAT THIS IS NOT CONSIDERED A SAFETY HAZARD AND THAT NISSAN IS NOT STANDING BEHIND ITS PRODUCT IS APPALLING. WHILE THERE HAS NOT BEEN AN ACCIDENT YET, THIS MALFUNCTION COULD BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN EMERGENCY RESPONDER (OR HELPFUL CITIZEN) BEING ABLE TO GET TO SOMEONE FOLLOWING AN ACCIDENT OR VEHICLE FIRE. NOT ONLY IS THIS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD FOR THIS REASON, IT ALSO PRESENTS PERSONAL SAFETY ISSUES WITH TRYING TO CLIMB INTO THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE TO OPEN THE VEHICLE?S FRONT DOOR. THIS CREATES OPPORTUNITIES FOR ROBBERY AND ABDUCTION. NISSAN HAS FAILED TO STAND BEHIND ITS PRODUCT BY NOT PROVIDING TO ITS CUSTOMERS A VOLUNTARY RECALL TO REPLACE, AT THEIR COST, THE PARTS WHICH ARE CAUSING THE SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

ONE DAY, THERE WERE NO ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. THE FOLLOWING DAY, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE, THE CAR EXHIBITED EXTREMELY POOR ACCELERATION FROM A STOP (I.E. STARTING A CAR IN 4TH GEAR). THE CAR WOULD VERY SLOWLY ACCELERATE TO ~25MPH, THEN BEGIN TO PERFORM BETTER. CLEARING AN INTERSECTION FROM A STOPPED POSITION TOOK UP TO 5-10S LONGER THAN IT SHOULD HAVE. ALSO DETERMINED THAT THE CAR NO LONGER HAD FUNCTIONING BREAK LIGHTS. CAR WAS NOT SAFELY USABLE. SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL, BASED ON INTERNET SEARCHES. THE DEALER CLAIMED INITIALLY TO HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE AT ALL OF THIS ISSUE. DEALER REPLACED BRAKE PEDAL SWITCH AND PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. REPAIR WAS NOT DONE UNDER WARRANTY, BUT WAS DONE UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY, SO I STILL HAD TO PAY TO HAVE THIS KNOWN, SAFETY CRITICAL ISSUE REPAIRED. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD ENTERING THE FREEWAY THE VEHICLES POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING RENDERING THE VEHICLE NO CONTROL. AFTER NEARLY GETTING HIT WE WERE ABLE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN ON THE FREEWAY AND PUSH IT OFF OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVEABLE AND WAS TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS LEARNED THAT THE POWER STEERING NEEDED REPLACED FOR 1500.00 DOLLARS OUT OF THE WARRANTY. *TR

DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER DOORS FAIL TO OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TO OPEN BACK PASSENGER DOOR AND MANUALLY ENGAGE THE DRIVER DOOR LOCK FROM THE INSIDE. TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND DEALER STATED THAT THE CHARGE TO FIX BOTH DOORS WOULD BE $650. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS CAN NOT BE A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY NISSAN AND OUR GOVERNMENT. I GUESS WHEN IT COMES TIME TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE I WILL NOT VISIT A NISSAN NOR INFINITY DEALERSHIP. NISSAN SHOULD BE ASHAMED! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A RESIDENTIAL GARAGE, SMOKE EMITTED FROM THE PASSENGER'S SIDE VENTS AND THE DASH BOARD BECAME MELTED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND ADVISED THAT THE FIRE ORIGINATED FROM AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING FURTHER INSPECTION OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000. *TR

HTTP://WWW.PETITIONONLINE.COM/PETITIONS/NISSANML/SIGNATURES?PAGE=21 MY LOCK ACTUATOR HAS GONE BAD AND I WAS INFORMED BY MY NISSAN DEALERSHIP THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND IT SHE BE PLACED ON A RECALL LIST. I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND IT LOOKS LIKE MANY DIFFERENT ROGUES HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A VERY COSTLY FIX AND DUE TO FAULTY MANUFACTURING WE AS CONSUMERS HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER WITH HOPES THAT IT WILL CONTINUE TO WORK. MY CAR IS NOT OLD THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON TO REPLACE THIS PART SO SOON. *TR

ON SUNDAY JANUARY 11TH, 2014, MY FAMILY AND I WERE ON OUR WAY HOME. AFTER STOPPING AT A SERVICE STATION MY HUSBAND PULLED ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND WAS ACCELERATING TO THE APPROPRIATE SPEED AND THE CAR JUST GOT STUCK AT 6500 RPM'S AND 60 MPH. IT STAYED THAT WAY FOR ABOUT 5 MILES,WE COULD SLOW DOWN BUT THE RPM'S WERE STILL STUCK AT 6500 AND THE ENGINE WAS MAKING A HORRIBLE SOUND, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND SEVERAL TIMES WE HAD TO RIDE THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. WHEN WE FINALLY REACHED THE ROAD WE LIVE OFF OF MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND TURN WHILE TURNING THE AWFUL NOISE GOT A LITTLE LOWER BUT A NEW NOISE WAS HEARD, A WHINING SOUND. AFTER TURNING, THE CAR LOST ALL GAS, NOTHING HAPPENED WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS PUSHED AND THEN FINALLY IT STARTED TO GO AGAIN. WE ARRIVED AT OUR HOME MY HUSBAND OPENED THE HOOD AND TOLD ME TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR A LITTLE AND THEN HE SAW SMALL PUFFS OF SMOKE. I SMELLED SOMETHING LIKE BURNING RUBBER WHILE SITTING IN THE DRIVERS SEAT AND MY HUSBAND SAID HE SMELLED SOMETHING SWEET UNDER THE HOOD. THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW ON JANUARY 4TH, 2014, IT HAD 25 MILES WHEN PURCHASED. THE MILEAGE ON JANUARY 11TH WAS AROUND 500. THIS IS A DANGEROUS VEHICLE, I AM WAITING ON THE DEALERSHIP TO CALL AND LET ME KNOW WHAT THEY FIND. *TR

BOTH DRIVERS DOOR AND FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCKS NOT WORKING. THEY ARE NOT UNLOCKING WITH REMOTE OR KEY. THE REMOTE OPENS THE REAR DOORS ONLY, THEN YOU HAVE TO CLIMB IN AND REACH THE INSIDE FRONT LATCH TO OPEN THE DOOR. THEN GET OUT THE VEHICLE AND ENTER THRU THE FRONT DOOR. NISSAN HAD OR HAS RECALL ON THE 2008 ROUGE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY NOT ON THE 2009 ROGUE? I GOGGLED MY PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WE NEED A RECALL ON THE 2009 AS WELL. THANKS FOR LISTENING. *TR
