I WAS MADE AWARE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED BACK ON FEBRUARY 25, 2015. RECALL ID: 228072 CAMPAIN #: 15V032000. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL CONCERNING MY VEHICLE. OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS, I'VE NOTICED MOISTURE ON THE FLOOR BOARDS IN THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED BACK IN DECEMBER OF 2015.

WE LAST USED THE CAR AT 2:30PM AND PARKED IT IN OUR DRIVEWAY. IT WAS STATIONARY AND UNUSED FOR ABOUT 4.5 HOURS. AT ABOUT 7PM WE HEARD THE HORN GO OFF. IT WAS A STEADY BLOWING OF THE HORN. I OPENED THE FRONT DOOR, REALIZED IT WAS OUR CAR, AND GRABBED MY KEYS TO START THE CAR TO SEE IF THAT WOULD MAKE THE HORN STOP. WHEN I OPENED THE DRIVERS DOOR OF THE CAR I SAW THE ORANGE FLAMES AND THICK BLACK SMOKE. I RAN INTO THE HOUSE, HAD MY WIFE CALL 911 AND I GRABBED THE HOUSE FIRE EXTINGUISHER. THE FIRE STARTED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE CAR EITHER RIGHT BELOW THE STEERING WHEEL OR ON THE LEFT SIDEWALL WHERE THE DRIVER'S LEFT LEG WOULD REST. I DID MY BEST PUTTING OUT THE FLAMES FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE BUT HAD TO GO TO THE RIDERS SIDE TO PUT OUT THE LEFT PANEL BY THE DRIVERS LEGS. THE FIRE WAS PROBABLY 95% PUT OUT WHEN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND POLICE DEPARTMENT SHOWED. BECAUSE THE FRONT HOOD RELEASE LATCH WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED BY THE FIRE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD TO FORCE THE HOOD OPEN TO CHECK FOR FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ALSO REMOVED PARTS OF DASHBOARD THAT WERE BURNT TO CHECK BEHIND TO MAKE SURE THE FIRE WAS OUT. IT WAS TOWED AWAY ABOUT AN HOUR LATER. THE CAR WAS "TOTALED" A WEEK LATER BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY.*DT*JB

CAR WILL STOP ACCELERATING WHEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY FOR OVER AN HOUR. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 10 TIMES NOW. IT ONLY HAD ABOUT 50,000 MILES ON IT THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. SEVERAL INDEPENDENT BODY SHOPS COULD NOT DETECT THE PROBLEM. IN VIEWING OTHER COMPLAINTS, SOUNDS LIKE IT'S THE TRANSMISSION. NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL 2013 NISSAN ROGUES FOR THIS PROBLEM!

THE VEHICLE RADIO GOES ON AND OFF, THE DASH LIGHTS AND GAUGES GO ON AND OFF AND THE VEHICLE JERKS AND THEN STOPS THIS ALL WHILE DRIVING

I DID A RESEARCH ON THE 2013 NISSAN ROGUE. 2YRS AGO ON THE SAME TRUCK.WELL ANYWAY I DIDN'T THINK I WOULD HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH MY TRUCK UNTIL NOW. THE TRANSMISSION HAS NOW FAILED IN MY TRUCK. ITS HAS STALLED ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND HIGHWAY WHICH IS A DANGER TO ME AND OTHER CARS ON THE STREET. THE ELECTRICAL IN THE TRUCK WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE OVER THE SPEED LIMIT OR NOT THE TRUCK WILL START TO OVERHEAT AND SHUT DOWN ON ME IN THE STREET. THEN I WOULD HAVE TO SEAT AND WAIT AROUND AN HALF HOUR TO AN HOUR. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS FOR AWHILE BUT DIDN'T EXPECT IT TO GET THIS BAD.

THE DOOR LOCK SYSTEM MAKES A LOUD NOISE WHEN LOCKING AT ABOUT FIFTEEN MILES PER HOUR AND ALSO MAKES THIS STARTLING NOISE WHEN I LOCK IT WITH THE KEY FOB AFTER I PARK THE VEHICLE.

I WAS ACCELERATING TO MERGE ONTO AN EXPRESSWAY TODAY, AND MY ACCELERATION CUT OUT IN MY VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND COASTED TO IDLE SPEED. I WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO MOVE OFF THE EXPRESSWAY AT IDLE SPEED, BUT I MAY HAVE NOT BEEN SO LUCKY IN ANOTHER SCENARIO. I ALSO NOTICED THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON SOMETIMES WHEN THE CAR IS OFF OR THE PEDAL IS NOT PRESSED. THE CAR SEEMS TO THINK THE BRAKES ARE ENGAGED AND WILL NOT ALLOW ANY ACCELERATION. I FOUND THIS TSB FOR MY VEHICLE THAT DESCRIBES THE EXACT ISSUE I AM FACING. HOWEVER, THE TSB IS INACCURATE. IT STATES THERE IS "LOW POWER" WHEN ACCELERATING. THERE IS ACTUALLY "NO POWER." THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL WHEN THIS ISSUE IS ENCOUNTERED BUT WILL COAST TO IDLE SPEED. THIS ISSUE PUTS THE DRIVER'S LIFE AT RISK, AS WELL AS OTHERS ON THE ROAD, AND SHOULD RESULT IN A FULL RECALL BEFORE PEOPLE DIE. THIS COMPLAINT IS IN REGARDS TO THE CLASSIFICATION AND INACCURACY OF THE FOLLOWING TSB, WHICH SHOULD BE CLASSIFIED AS RECALL AND CORRECTED TO REFLECT THE VEHICLE LOSING ALL ACCELERATION.

MY CAR ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE LIGHT MADE LIKE A CAR WITH TIRE TRACKS BEHIND IT AND GOT IT TOW BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T CRANK, AND HAD A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND IT SHOWED A PROBLEM WITH ECM

CAR WON'T TURN ON RANDOMLY. WE HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY FIVE TIMES. EACH TIME THE CAR RANDOMLY STOPS WORKING EVERY FEW THOUSAND MILES. THE CAR WILL TAKE TEN OR ELEVEN TRIES TO START. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. IF FOR ANY REASON WE EVER NEEDED TO LEAVE THE CAR CANNOT START QUICKLY. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY, NOT ALL THE TIME (SOMETIMES IT STARTS FINE AFTER ONE TURN, THE NEXT TIME IT COULD TAKE FIVE MINUTES TO FINALLY START, THEN GO BACK TO FINE). NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO TELL US WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF THIS DEFECT.

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 APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

I STARTED MY CAR ONE DAY AND STARTED TO SMELL SOMETHING BURNING. I SAW NO SMOKE AND IMMEDIATELY SHUT THE CAR OFF. I WENT INTO MY HOME AND GOT MY HUSBAND TO COME AND CHECK THE CAR. HE STARTED IT UP AND THE BURNING SMELL CONTINUED. AGAIN, WE IMMEDIATELY SHUT THE CAR OFF. MY ROGUE WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT DAY I WENT TO USE MY CAR. MY HUSBAND ADVISED TO LEAVE THE CAR ALONE AND TAKE HIS TRUCK. THE NEXT DAY WE WENT OUT TO CHECK ONTO THE CAR AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP WITH NO BURNING SMELL BUT MY "CHECK ENGINE" AND "ABS" LIGHTS STAYED ON. I HAD TO CONTACT NISSAN CORPORATION TWICE JUST TO GET SOMEONE TO RETURN MY CALLS. I HAD TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH MY NYS ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE TO GET NISSAN'S ATTENTION ONLY TO RECEIVE A LETTER TELLING MY MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER RECALL AND THEY WOULDN'T HELP. HOW CAN AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WHEN SOMETHING OBVIOUSLY BURNED NOT BE THEIR RESPONSIBILITY? I HAVE HAD MY CAR REGULARLY SERVICED AT MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND HAVE LESS THAN 60000 MILES. THE CAR STILL SITS UNUSABLE IN MY DRIVEWAY.

BEGINNING IN NOVEMBER OF 2017, ACCELERATION BEGAN TO HAVE ISSUES. WHEN ACCELERATING, THE CAR WOULD DRAG AND HESITATE BEFORE FULLY DROPPING INTO GEAR. ALL OTHER COMPONENTS WORKED FINE. I WOULD ALLOW THE CAR TO HEAT UP 10-15 MINUTES IN THE MORNING AND THAT DID NOT HELP. SHORTLY AFTER, EACH TIME I STEP ON THE GAS, THE ENGINE REVS TREMENDOUSLY DESPITE THE SLIGHTEST ACCELERATION. THE PIN WILL NOT MOVE THEN MOVE QUICKLY CAUSING A GRINDING/BUZZING SOUND BETWEEN 2K & 3K BEFORE FEELING LIKE IT DROPS I TOM GEAR, EVEN AT 15-25MPH. THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES, BUT THE CAUSE CAN NO TO BE DIAGNOSED. IN JANUARY OF 2018, THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD CAME ON AND THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION. UPON TAKING IT TO THE MECHANIC, I WAS TOLD EVERYTHING TESTED FINE, THE SOFTWARE SIMPLY NEEDED TO BE RESET. AFTER RESETTING, THE LIGHT HAS NOT RETURNED, BUT THE ACCELERATION ISSUE HAS NOT CHANGED. IN MARCH OF 2018 AFTER EXPERIENCING ANOTHER ABRUPT SLOW-DOWN ON A SIDE STREET, I PARKED THE CAR AND SMELLED A BURNING OF SOME TYPE OF FLUID UPON GETTING OUT OF THE CAR. ONCE THE INITIAL SMELL DISPERSED, NO SIGN OF DAMAGE, LEAKING, OR OTHER ISSUE WAS PRESENT. IN APRIL OF 2018, NO FURTHER ACCELERATION ISSUES HAVE OCCURRED, BUT THE WARNING LIGHTS AGAIN CAME ON. AGAIN, NOTHING WAS DIAGNOSED, IT WAS SAID THERE WAS SOME TYPE OF SOFTWARE ISSUE AND SIMPLY NEEDED TO BE RESET AGAIN. SHORTLY AFTER, THE AC UNIT COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. I TURNED OFF THE CAR, RESTARTED AND THE SYSTEM CAME BACK ON, BUT NO MATTER WHAT BLOWS OUT HOT AIR WHICH IS HOTTER OFTEN THAN IF THE HEAT IS TURNED ON FULL BLAST. THE CAR HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND UNDERGONE REGULARLY SCHEDULE MAINTENANCE AND HAS 84K MILES. MY MECHANIC RAN THE VIN AND THERE'S WERE NO OPEN RECALLS, HOWEVER, THE CAR WAS JUST DIAGNOSED WITH AN 'ELECTRICAL ISSUE.'

LIFT GATE RUSTED AROUND THE EMBLEMS AND TAIL LIGHTS WITHIN ONE YEAR - THEY REPLACED IT. LESS THAN 8 MONTHS LATER IT STARTED RUSTING AGAIN - THEY REPLACED IT. IS NOW RUSTING AGAIN AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. BLOWS HEAT THROUGH THE VENTS WHEN ALL CONTROLS ARE OFF AND TEMPERATURE IS SET TO THE COOLEST SETTING. LATEST ISSUE IS I WAS DRIVING MY KIDS HOME AT NIGHT AND WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP LIGHT THE VEHICLE ONLY MOVED SLOWLY AT THE RPM WENT ABOVE 4,000 ALMOST CAUSING ME TO GET REAR ENDED. EVENTUALLY I COULD GET TO 50 MPH BUT ANYTHING OVER THAT AND THE RPM'S WOULD RACE OVER 4,000. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AM BEING TOLD THE TRANSMISSION IS SHOT AND IT WILL COST $3,500 AND I ONLY HAVE 95,000 MILES ON IT!

TURNING OUT ON ROAD VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION AND THEN LOST ALL ACCELERATION. NO WARNING , NO ENGINE LIGHT. PUSHED BACK TO HOUSE AND TOWED TO NISSAN. CVT TRANSMISSION WAS THE PROBLEM AND SPENT ROUGHLY 200 TO TOW AND SECOND DIAGNOSTIC WHICH NISSAN WANTED TO DO . TOTAL QUOTE 4460.00. IT CONCERNS ME THAT THERE WAS NO PRIOR WARNING TO THIS. JUST WENT OUT WITH THE WHOLE FAMILY IN CAR.

ON JANUARY 23, 2015 THERE WAS A RECALL OF MY VEHICLE. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED BY MY DEALER OF THE RECALL. I JUST SAW IT TODAY WHEN CHECKING MY CREDIT KARMA ACCOUNT. MY NISSAN DEALERSHIP SHOULD HAVE INSPECTED THE KICK PANEL WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR ON MY CAR FOR DAMAGE. IF NO DAMAGE WAS DETECTED, MY VEHICLE WAS SUPPOSED TO RECEIVE A WATERPROOF SEAL FOR THE HARNESS. IF DAMAGE WAS FOUND, THE DEALER WAS TO INSTALL A NEW HARNESS CONNECTOR AND THE WATERPROOF SEAL.
