The system failure that I keep experiencing is regarding the ignition. When I turn my car off and try to lock the ignition, my key gets stuck and will not release. I have to turn the car back on and off a few times for it to finally release. No warning messages appear and it happened out of nowhere. I thought it might be the key itself, but I do not think that is the problem. I used my addition key fob that I never use to see if the same problem would occur and it did.

The airbag sensor warning light remains constantly on once the car has been started. Yes the vehicle is available for inspection. I have taken it to the local dealership for repair and after 2 different visits have told me that they don't know exactly what is wrong and that I need to come back and pay another $1600 after the original $600 I already spent to have 2 different parts replaced and they will next replace two others and hope it solves the problem. I do not know if my car is safe and if my airbags will deploy when appropriate and not when it is not appropriate. The main problem is that they don't know why the sensor is constantly on and just keep "Trying" to replace things and hope it is fixed. I do not feel comfortable with hoping they are right when they can't tell me what is wrong. There has been no issues yet but not having your airbag sensor work properly is a significant problem. No police or other agency has looked at the car only the local dealership. I have contacted Nissan but they have not given me any answers except that they have noted my concerns and within my case. They need to be able to tell me if my vehicle is 100% safe to drive. If they can accurately diagnosis the cause, I don't feel they can assure me that everything is okay and safe. My second visit there (6/24/2024) They have replaced the drivers door satelite sensor and found DTC to still be present and will not clear. Now they recommend replacing drivers door harness and airbag control unit. The first visit (5/18/2024) they stated they found DTC 80093 for left hand sensor . they removed the left hand lower b-pillar cover to inspect sensor and wiring was in good condition. Per esm 1st tep is replacing the left had satelite sensor. It has been a month and I still don't know if my car is safe to drive and that the airbags will work, other than the dealership saying it will likely work. But come back and spend $1600 more and hopefully it will work.

I have 2015 Nissan Rouge Select for almost 9 year and I haven’t get in any accident with this car . But my air bag light keep turn off twice within a year . Last year it happened on driver side , I replaced it at dealership and the same issue happened just 10 months later . The passenger air bag is off this time . But the dealership said the reason that I can’t accept it. First the mechanic guy told me that the car is old and the way how we drive with the shaking on the road affect airbag wire and sensor . That’s unacceptable because we have an older car than this 2015 Nissan but it never have air bag problem . While we talk with their supervisor to see if there is any recall we miss and what cause the airbag keep going off , he said one thing made me could not believe that the manufacturer would not test the air bag before selling . Is it mean that i bought this Nissan car and I put my self and my family safety under risk while we are on the road ? …...and recently the car transmission failed….

The AC does not work intermittently. When the AC is on, it will blow cold air and then all of a sudden, warm air comes out. Then it may work again and then it will blow warm air. This is a safety concern in Texas when the temperature is very hot outside. This has happened ever since I bought the car in 2015.

This vehicle will fail to accelerate after stopping at stop sign/ red light or in stop/ go traffic. if i hit the gas pedal it won't actually move for seconds and then it will jolt forward. This becomes very dangerous and scary when pulling out onto busy roads. The RPM will start going up while driving for no reason and the car is not actually accelerating. this will happen while driving down the road randomly and the only thing i can do is pull over and shut car off for a minute. i have brough to dealership (a few years ago but they cannot recreate it so i have no options) this has been happening for several years at all different times and always randomly

The harness that controls the lift gate is malfunctioning. It’s an issue from the previous recall that has reproduced results. The only way to fix it is to disconnect and connect the safety pins by the foot panel on the drivers side door. Over time it has progressively gotten worse to the point that anytime it opens, it’ll need to be disconnected and then connected before the next time you use it. Also one time it stopped working when the lift gate was open and would not let you close the lift gate.

I was traveling east bound and trash collection truck was parked on the shoulder facing east. I could not see the truck because of the position of the sun, and when I did see the parked trash truck, I swerved to miss it but struck the left rear of the parked trash truck with the right front of my vehicle going 35mph. Air bags did not deploy nor did the seat belt lock. I was tranferred to the hospital and sustained 4 broken ribs and an abrasion on my right elbow. Police department and EMS did see that air bags did not deploy. Police report shows code for the air bag and seat belt malfunctions. No warning messages etc of any kind showed up.

Our car has experienced multiple incidents of the interior becoming drenched with water. From thew sunroof, the sides of the vehicle, the floorboards, back AND front. We bring it in to be repaired but then another leak occurs. I am worried about water coming into contact with the many electrical parts of the car that help it operate especially since so much wetness occurs near the front half of the vehicle, near the controls. This last incident, we reached out to Nissan's corporate office and they would not cover the cost of repairs. We are nervous about what might happen and ethically don't feel we can sell the car in this condition.

There is a recall for the airbag light coming on the dashboard. Took the car to the dealership to get the car looked at, was informed their is a recall for the airbag light. Was told it was fixed, a week later the light came back on. Went back to dealership, this time they said it would need a new driver side seat and electrical panel replaced to be repaired correctly and to know 100 % the driver side airbag works correctly. Nissan won't cover it because those aren't the current parts to fix it. I don't understand, the dealership tried twice to fix the problem with the standard parts that are allotted in the recall and it didn't work, now it needs to be fixed properly. I have a Nissan with a safety recall issue that Nissan refuses to cover the cost to fix it. It is very unsafe, dangerous and life threatening to have a vehicle with no working driver side airbag. We bought this car for our 16 year old son, only to have a severe safety violation in the car that won't get fix properly by the manufacturer. What if he is in a front on collision and the airbag doesn't work? Heaven forbid he get critically injured or even die from it. What does it take for Nissan to do the right thing and properly fix the recall. In the meantime our son isn't allowed to drive his new car much and not far from the house. How would they feel if it were their teenager in a car with no driver side airbag and the company with a recall refused to fix it correctly. I guess our son's life doesn't matter to anyone but us. All we want is for the recall to be fixed correctly ( which we knew nothing about) which is correctly working airbags. How would you feel?

Hello, I bought my Nissan Rogue in 2015 and I’m the original owner. I had parked my car at Lowe’s and upon returning from store, my dashboard showed the Air bag alert sign that didn’t go away and remains turned ON my driver-side dashboard. I wasn’t in an accident or didn’t have other issues, and car was simply just parked when alert popped up and remained ON. VIN# [XXX] . Nissan dealership staff charges for such repairs but I feel this should be covered under warranty as it’s a major safety issue. Can your team please help me. Thank you.

The CVT malfunctions after about an hour of driving. There is a failure of power transfer to the drive wheels. The engine rpms increase but there is no forward motion resulting in the vehicle being stranded in traffic. I spoke to the nearest Nissan dealer which is one hour from my home in Mountain Home, AR and was told that this is a known problem and is an indication of imminent CVT failure.
