What 519 owners told NHTSA about the 2015 Nissan Rogue Select

4 PASSENGERS IN OUR AWD ROUGE (2015), WITH A PANORAMIC SUNROOF, WERE DRIVING ON 1-85 FROM LAS VEGAS, NV BACK TO SALT LAKE CITY, UT ON 12/08/2019, IN THE COUNTY OF BEAVER ABOUT 30 MILES FROM FILLMORE, UT, AT ABOUT 75 MPH (80 MPH INTERSTATE SPEED ZONE), WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN, WE HEAR A LOUD CRASHING SOUND. THERE WERE NO VEHICLES AROUND US ON THE ROAD, SO WE WERE ALL EXTREMELY TERRIFIED. THE CAR HAD BECOME VERY LOUD AT THAT POINT, AND WE IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO SIDE OF THE ROAD. WE FOUND THAT THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF HAD COMBUSTED, LITERALLY SPONTANEOUSLY. IT WAS COMPLETELY WRECKED AND FOR NO REASON AT ALL. WE TOOK IT TO A SMALL SERVICE STATION AS SOON AS WE COULD, BUT WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF SMALL TOWNS WHEN THIS HAPPENED. ALL THEY WERE ABLE TO DO WAS ALLOW US TO VACUUM UP THE GLASS. A FEW OF US HAD CUTS ON OUR BODIES, SO WE BANDAGED THOSE UP WHILE THERE AS WELL. WE CALLED INSURANCE, THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS INVOLVED FORTUNATELY, AS THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES CLOSELY AROUND US WHEN IT EXPLODED. THE INSURANCE COMPANY SAID WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY A $1,000 DEDUCTIBLE FOR THE INCIDENT TO BE REPAIRED. OBVIOUSLY, THIS WAS CONCERNING BECAUSE THIS WAS NOTHING OF OUR DOING. THIS WAS SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THE POOR DESIGN OF THE SUNROOF, AND HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS AS WELL. NISSAN SHOULD PAY FOR THE DAMAGE, AND IN FACT, SHOULD RE-CALL ALL VEHICLES WITH SUNROOFS TO INSTALL A BETTER DESIGNED SUNROOF WITH APPROPRIATE GLASS. HAD WE HAD OUR SOFT TOP INSIDE OPEN, THERE IS NO TELLING WHAT WOULD OR COULD HAVE HAPPENED AS WE WERE DRIVING AT AN INTERSTATE SPEED. AFTER REVIEWING THE OTHER STORIES OF THIS HAPPENING, THIS NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED IMMEDIATELY FOR THE SAFETY OF DRIVERS WITH SUNROOFS WITH THIS DESIGN BEFORE SOMETHING FATAL HAPPENS. I WILL BE JOINING THE CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT ALREADY OPEN ON THIS EXACT SCENARIO THAT HAS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE.

BUMPERS ARE NOT SECURE. THEY USE A PLASTIC SHIELDING THAT DO NOT PROPERLY PROTECT AGAINST BAD ACCIDENTS. MOST VEHICLES BARELY HAVE PROTECTIVE BUMPERS, PUTTING PEOPLE'S LIVES AT RISK. EVERY YEAR, NEW MODELS BRING LESS FRONT AND REAR ACCIDENT IMPACT PROTECTION. IT IS A GOOD DEAL FOR MANUFACTURERS AND INSURANCE COMPANIES, BUT NOT FOR CUSTOMERS. ON JANUARY 2017, I SUFFERED AN ACCIDENT WHERE MY FRONT "BUMPER" NEEDED TO BE FIXED, BUT MY DEALERSHIP CHARGED ME FOR ABOUT $5,500.00TO REPLACE A "PROTECTIVE PLASTIC SHIELDING" AND THE COMPRESSOR. NOW MI INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE CHARGING ME A LOT TO RENEW MY POLICIES. *TT *TR

I WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON MILITARY TRAIL PREPARING TO TURN RIGHT AT PIPERS GLEN. THE LIGHT WAS GREEN AND THERE WAS A WHITE CAR IN THE MIDDLE LANE WAITING TO ENTER MILITARY. I SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE MY TURN AND SUDDENLY MY CAR ACCELERATED. IF I CONTINUED TO TURN THERE WAS NO DOUBT I WOULD HAVE HIT THE WAITING CAR. I PROCEEDED STRAIGHT, PASSED THIS CAR AND DROVE ONTO A GRASSY AREA. MY FRONT WHEEL HIT THE CURB WHICH SLOWED MY CAR BUT PUSHED ME ALONG THE SIDE OF THE WHITE CAR CAUSING DAMAGE TO BOTH CARS. THE FIRE TRUCKS CAME AND A POLICE CAR. SINCE NO ONE WAS HURT I WAS INSTRUCTED TO LEAVE MY CAR THERE TO BE TOWED . MY SON PICKED ME UP AND I CALLED THE TOWING CO. ABOUT 1 HOUR LATER I WAS CALLED AND TOLD THE TOW WAS ON THE WAY. WHEN WE ARRIVED TO WHERE MY CAR WAS I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE THE FRONT LIGHTS ON. THERE WAS A MOTOR NOISE AND THE HOOD WAS HOT . WHENWE LEFT THE CAR THERE IT WAS LOCKED AND THE MOTOR WAS NOT ON. IF THIS WERE NOT THE CASE I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO LOCK THIS CAR HAVING A KEYLESS ENTRY. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT EVER DRIVING THIS CAR WITH LESS THAN 10,000 MILES. I CALLED BOTH NISSAN AND THE REPAIR COMPANY AND REPORTED WHAT HAPPENED. THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD SCAN THE CAR BUT SOMETIMES NOTHING SHOWS UP. I USE MILITARY TRAIL ALMOST EVERY DAY AND PIPERS GLEN LEADS TO MY HOME. I AM HAPPY THAT NO ONE WAS HURT BUT HAUNTED BY REALIZING WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED IF I ATTEMPED TO MAKE THAT RIGHT TURN.BOTH THESE ROADS ARE CITY STREETS.I HAVE NO PICTURESEXCEPT FOR MY MEMORY.
