What 422 owners told NHTSA about the 2014 Nissan Rogue Select

I HAD A SEVERE ACCIDENT WITH MY 2014 NISSAN ROGUE AWD WHICH ALMOST KILLED ME AND MY ENTIRE FAMILY. IT WAS A MIRACLE THAT WE ARE ALIVE. HOWEVER MY WIFE HAS SOME INJURY ON THE NECK....UPDATED 10/20/14 *BF ON 9/28 EARLY MORNING, WE WERE DRIVING (IN MIDDLE LANE) ON FREEWAY (I-5 - SOUTHBOUND) AT A NORMAL SPEED AND ALL OF SUDDEN I HEARD A BIG SOUND IN THE FRONT OF THE CAR. I WAS ALERT BUT BEFORE I COULD REACT, THE NEXT MOMENT MY CAR ROLLED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THEN UPSIDE DOWN (ON THE FRONT HOOD AND FRONT PART OF THE ROOF) AND GOT DRAGGED AND AT THE SAME TIME TURNED. FINALLY THE BACK OF MY CAR HIT THE CURB WITH FULL FORCE AND THEN IT RESTED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE (BETWEEN EXIT 109 AND 108) BUT NOW IT WAS FACING NORTHBOUND. I BROKE THE WINDSHIELD TO COME OUT AND WITH THE HELP FROM PASSERSBY; I COULD SAFELY BRING MY WIFE AND 3 YEAR OLD OUT OF THE CAR. ALL THESE HAPPENED SO QUICKLY BUT I REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED AS I DID NOT BLACKOUT. NEITHER MY CAR HIT ANY OTHER CAR NOR DID ANYTHING HIT MY CAR. AND LUCKILY THERE WAS NO TRUCK OR CAR FOLLOWING US. IT'S A BRAND NEW 2014 NISSAN ROGUE WHICH I BOUGHT IN JAN 2014. I STILL CANNOT UNDERSTAND HOW COME SUCH A SERIOUS FAILURE COULD OCCUR. THE VEHICLE IS NOW TOTALED AND I HAVE LOGGED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN BUT I AM STILL WAITING FOR A REPLY. I WANT THIS TO BE INVESTIGATED AS I DO NOT WANT OTHER FAMILIES TO EXPERIENCE WHAT WE HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH. UPDATED 05/21/2015 *JS

I WAS DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC TAKING MY WIFE TO WORK. I WAS GOING ABOUT 15 TO 20 MPH BECAUSE OF MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IN CHICAGO IS HEAVY. I TURNED MY HEAD TO ANSWER MY WIFE AND BEING DISTRACTED I TURNED MY HEAD BACK AND SAW THE BIG SUV IN FRONT OF ME WAS STOPPED AND I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND SLID INTO THE REAR OF HIS SUV. ONLY A SMALL DING AND SCRATCH I SEEN AND MY CAR HAD THE BUMPER BROKEN, HOOD BENT UP, CRINKLES IN SIDE FENDERS. EVEN THE POLICE COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW THE CAR WAS ALL DAMAGED AT THAT TYPE SPEEDS AND NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. ANYWAY I WAS TOLD PROBABLY I WAS GOING TOO SLOW AND SLID INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT AND MAYBE THERE IS A CERTAIN FORCE TO MAKE THEM BLOW OFF. I GOT A LITTLE OVER $5000 DAMAGE. LIKE THE CAR IS AS THIN AS A POP CAN AND NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE BODY SHOP WHEN THEY REPAIR IT IS GOING TO CHECK THE AIR BAG SYSTEM... I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY CLAIM A SUPERVISOR WILL BE CALLING ME BACK IN A FEW DAYS... *TR

OPERATOR ENGAGED IN LOW SPEED PARKING MANEUVER. CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, JUMPED CURB AND STRUCK TREE. DRIVER SLIGHTLY INJURED LEFT WRIST REQUIRING X-RAYS. NO BONES FRACTURED. I ORDERED READING OF EDR DATA. WAS FIRST TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT NO EDR WAS INSTALLED IN MY VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH THE MANUAL ISSUED WITH THE VEHICLE CLEARLY STATED THERE WAS. NISSAN NORTH AMERICA SENT TECHNICIAN TO EXTRACT DATA. BY THE TIME IT WAS DONE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL HARNESS HAD BEEN REMOVED AND REPLACED. REPRESENTATIVE OF NISSAN NORTH AMERICA CLAIMED DATA WAS EXTRACTED AND THAT THEIR INTERPRETATION OF THE DATA INDICATED NO CULPABILITY ON THEIR PART FOR ACCIDENT. REFUSED TO SHARE ACTUAL DATA WITH ME SINCE FLORIDA HAS NO LEGISLATION DEALING WITH OWNERSHIP OF SUCH DATA. I CONSIDER THEIR INTERPRETATION TO BE INCONCLUSIVE SINCE I HAVE WAY OF KNOWING THE ALL OF THE ELEMENTS REQUIRED BY NHTSA FOR INTERPRETATION WAS ACTUALLY EXTRACTED. *TR

ON MAY 10, 2014, I PARKED MY 2014 NISSAN ROGUE IN MY GARAGE. I PUT VEHICLE IN PARK AND GOT OUT WENT TO THE PASSENGER SIDE TO GET MY BAG ON PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS. I RAN TO BACK OF CAR TO STOP IT. LUCKY FOR ME I WASN'T BEHIND THE CAR WHEN IT STARTED TO ROLL BACK. I STOPPED IT ENOUGH BEFORE IT HIT THE DECLINE IN MY DRIVEWAY AND RAN TO DRIVERS SIDE AND JUMPED IN AND HIT BRAKE. MOVED CAR BACK INTO GARAGE AND PUT BLOCKS BEHIND THE TIRES. AT THAT POINT, I THOUGHT IT WAS A ONE TIME EVENT. APPROXIMATELY 1 HOUR LATER I RAN AN ERRAND, PUT CAR IN PARK (ON LEVEL GROUND), GOT OUT OF CAR AND IT STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS AGAIN. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO NISSAN DEALER AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED. PERTAINING TO MEDICAL ATTENTION. MY BACK, LEFT SHOULDER AND LEGS ARE VERY SORE (MAY 11). WILL SEE IN A DAY OR SO IF FURTHER MEDICAL IS NEEDED. *TR
