2011 NISSAN ROGUE. CONSUMER STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE. *LD *JS

NHTSA ODI 11407677

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, THE CAR CAUGHT FIRE UNDER THE HOOD NEAR THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT. THE HEADLIGHT WAS REPLACED THE DAY BEFORE THE INCIDENT. THE HEADLIGHT WORKED WHEN INSTALLED BUT WAS NOT WORKING BY THE NEXT EVENING. THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHTS HAVE NEEDED REPLACING MORE OFTEN THAN THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT (A 3:1 RATIO OR A 4:1 RATIO). THAT RATIO MAY INDICATE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. HEADLIGHT BULB WAS A NAPA BP1255/H11LL-N. OUR CAR TOOK AN H11 BULB. THE LL STANDS FOR LONG LIFE.

BUMPED INTO A LARGE CURB ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HIT RIGHT AT THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR THAT IS WHEN THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO NISSAN DEALER TO BE CHECKED WAS JUST RESET THE FIRST TIME 4 DAYS LATER CAME BACK ON TOOK IT BACK WAS PUT THROUGH A DIAGNOSTIC SCREENING AGAIN WAS TOLD IT WAS SHOWING THE OCS UNIT WAS MALFUNCTIONING. TOLD ME THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WHICH WAS IN BOTTOM OF SEAT.

ON SUNDAY(12/3/17), I DROVE HOME FROM CHURCH, PARKED MY CAR IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE AND ENTERED MY HOUSE FOR LESS THAN TEN MINUTES PRIOR TO MY NEIGHBOR KNOCKING ON MY DOOR TO NOTIFY ME THAT MY NISSAN ROGUE WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. I HAD NO SUSPICION THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE TO CAUSE A FIRE. ONE BLOCK FROM MY HOUSE I WAS PULLED OVER BY A COP, WHO NOTIFIED ME THAT SHE SAW ONE OF MY HEADLIGHTS GO OUT. THERE WAS NO SOUND, LIGHT OR SMELL THAT WOULD HAVE INDICATED A PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE. I AM GRATEFUL FOR BEING IN MY HOUSE AT THE START OF THE FIRE. I HAD NO AFTERMARKET UPGRADES DONE TO MY VEHICLE AND IT WAS REGULARLY TAKEN IN FOR OIL CHANGES AND TO HAVE TIRE MAINTENANCE. MY CONCERN IS ANOTHER NISSAN ROGUE OWNER WILL NOT BE AS LUCKY AS I WAS AND INSTEAD WILL BE DRIVING AT THE TIME OF AN ENGINE FIRE.

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND HAD ENTERED OUR PARKING LOT AND WAS READY TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPACE. AS I PULLED IN AND WAS AT A STOP , MY CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP IT. I STARTED TO TURN THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT BECAUSE THERE WAS A 2010 FORD EXPLORER THAT WAS PARKED IN FRONT BUT UNFORTUNATELY I HIT THE BACK END OF THE CAR AND PUSHED IT AT LEAST 30 FT DEAD STRAIGHT. MY CAR CONTINUED GOING TO THE RIGHT AND OVER A ISLAND AND BY THE TIME I GOT IT TO STOP THE AIR BAG HAD GONE OFF. I'M NOT SURE HOW THIS HAPPENED SINCE I WAS STOPPED, THERE WERE TWO WITNESSES THAT SAW MY VEHICLE STOPPED AND THE NEXT THING IT ACCELERATED. I KNOW MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE BECAUSE I WAS STOPPED AND READY TO EXIT THE VEHICLE BUT IT WOULD NOT STOP. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR ONLY 2 MONTHS OLD WITH A LITTLE OVER 1000 MILES. I HAVE GRANDCHILDREN THAT RIDE WITH ME AND AFTER MY VEHICLE GETS REPAIRED I WOULD BE AFFRAID TO DRIVE THIS. I AM THANKFUL THAT OTHER THAN BRUISES I AM OK AND THAT IT DID NOT HAPPEN ON A MAJOR STREET.
