What 362 owners told NHTSA about the 2011 Nissan Rogue Select

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.
