On February 27, 2022, my car, 2015 Nissan Rogue, caught fire. My son had been driving it for work when he smelled faint smoke. Within minutes, he reached his place of employ, Papa Johns and parked with the smoke increasing. He went inside for a minute and came back out. At that point the car was on fire on the right side of car by the headlamp. The fire started within 5 minutes of the smoke. People brought out fire extinguishers and were able to extinguish the fire which had gotten very intense. 2-3 extinguishers were needed to put out the fire. The fire department showed up and assessed the car and said it was a electrical fire. There were no personal injuries and no other property damage (beside the car). Two possibly related incidents: 1) February 24, 2022 - the right front tire had to be replaced due to a heat ring on the the right front tire (the tires were only a year old), 2) February 24, 2022 at night - the right front headlamp burned out and was replaced on 2/27/22. The GEICO Claims adjuster believes that whatever caused the heat ring and the burned out bulb also caused the fire as everything happened in the same area. The Nissan Rogue had undergone a 100,000 mile maintenance inspection on January 31, 2022 with no electrical issues cited (but all other issues noted during the maintenance repaired by me to a cost of $1286.40). Caranddriver.com reports that a recall notice is to be issued by Nissan the first week of March 2022 on electrical issues leading to fire on the driver’s side. GEICO totaled the car and took title. The car is now in an insurance lot. My son could have been killed in this car had the car started smoking on the highway and caught fire and my son been unable to pull over and exit the vehicle quickly. The fire could have ruptured the gas tank and caused massive property damage to other vehicles and buildings. The car could have caused my house to catch fire had the car stated smoking in the garage and caught fire.

Car has 53883 miles on it and is available for inspection. Will contact dealer in a few days see what they say. No warning lights on. Having worked on cars my whole life makes me think master cylinder is failing but with all the electronic controls don't know. Now parked in garage afraid to drive it.

The windshield wiper recoil off has s leak and it drips into the blower for the heater and freezes. When this happens, the heater does not work at all. This causes visibility issues as the defrost/heater will stop working while you’re driving.

My teenager daughter was attempting to merge onto US 15-501 traffic and the vehicle wouldn't accelerate, it kept hesitating. Oncoming traffic almost rear ended her. She got off on an exit and stopped at the red light. When it turned green she had the same issue and it wouldn't accelerate and continued to hesitate. She got it home. The vehicle was towed to the Nissan dealership and I was told the CVT transmission needs replaced. There were no previous noises or warning lights. The issue came on all of a sudden which almost caused a crash on the highway.

My car vibrates while idling when either air conditioner or heat is on (but only when the car is idling; waiting for light to change and not when moving. When my car was under warranty I reported this to my Nissan service repair mechanic when car was under warranty and was told that was normal. I purchased a car in 2016 and now in 2022 it is still happening. Just need to make sure I’m safe and that car won’t blow up or something. Thank you .

Rather scary to have cars flying by with lost of acceleration. There has been 3 incidents of this occurring.No accident occurred was able to pull over each time due to driving in the slow lane.

Own a 2015 Nissan rogue with 85k miles on it. Check engine light came on. Took to dealership. They performed diagnostics and gave the code P1740 and P0725. They told me the CVT transmission issue and needed to be replaced. Didn't have issues with the car up to this point and did all my service in Nissan dealer at the right time. Researched and saw that Nissan had issues with their CVT transmissions including the Rogue model and year I had. If there is an issue with the transmission, why are they allowed to still sell it? A bad transmission can cause an accident when driving or in reverse. It's 5504 dollars to repair/replace and no guarantee that the transmission they put in will work properly either. Called Nissan and they say they can't help because it is out of warranty. This issue has been going on for 2 decades already. I would like to be reimbursed for it. I know that's not your agency's job but you should be much more diligent on these issues. Consumer lives are at risk not to mention the huge cost of repairing/replacing a transmission. Nissan is getting a free pass on selling defective vehicles to the public. There is a class action law suit for the same which Nissan is settling only for few car owners who falls in the same category as mine. Here is the link for the class action law suit. https://topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/lawsuit-news/nissan-class-action-lawsuit-and-settlement-news/nissan-inks-277m-deal-with-rogue-pathfinder-infiniti-qx60-drivers-to-end-transmission-class-action/ Nissan should help all people who are affected by their faulty CVT. Nissan cars should be banned till they fix the issue and the Government should take proper action to safe guard the life of consumers and the people whom the government is working for. The rating on this car should be downgraded to zero. I request the concern authorities to help the affected consumers, ban the Nissan malpractice and save the lives of American people.

After taking my car in for the latest maintenance at the dealership, not even a week later my heater/ac stopped working properly. When the air conditioner is on, it blows out hot air... when the heater is on, it blows out cold air! This is very frustrating and only occurs on the drivers side vents for some reason. The remaining vents blow out the correct temperatures. I took the vehicle to a local shop and paid $100 just to have the car diagnosed and they let me know that the heater core needs to be replaced and that it would cost me about $3,000 to repair. I called the dealership to get a second opinion and was informed it would cost me $175 just to look into the issue! I let them know what the local shop said and was told that this was an unlikely issue (which is not what the majority of the internet is saying). The dealer informed me if this was the case it would be upward of $4,000 to replace and that the labor alone is $1,000! This is a frustrating situation because as the weather gets colder, it gets very difficult to defrost my windshield as the heater does not work as needed. Considering many people have complained about this same issue, Nissan should have recalled this a long time ago.

The transmission started to fail at 70,000 miles. I am now getting a full replacement at 90,000. I have owned the car the entire time and have been adamant about changing transmission fluid and oil. At 75,000 miles my transmission started to slip at 75 MPH, slowing me down to 30 MPH on a highway. A snowplow almost rear ended me and there was no where I could go as it was a blizzard. Since and before, it has jerked pretty hard, shutting in traffic and while driving highway speeds. It is ridiculous and dangerous to have this as issue in a relatively new car. It should be illegal to sell defective cars and Nissan needs to be held accountable.
