Issue: Garage caught fire. All wood (trusses, joists, walls) were in tact. Estimated in tact amount=99%. The vehicle was completely consumed. The hood melted, plastic, seats, tires consumed. Car was not driven day of incident. Origin was attributed to garage. Cause was undetermined by fire department. Report does not today address the vehicle in any way shape or form. There is no documentation as to what was seen upon removing garage doors. Had the can already been consumed? Did vehicle initially encapsulate the fire prior to moving into garage structure? It is speculated that NHTSA part 573 recall report 22V-875 may be applicable when viewed from design engineering point of view and not strictly to only vehicles addressed by Nissan in that report. There were no prior warnings of any kind that foretold the ensuing events. I am trying to get the fire department to amend report to record stated belief of fire origin (vehicle) which is not today evidenced in the report and as per the stated opinion by one of the fire fighters. I am further insisting that the insurance company assign a forensic expert in evaluating the origin and cause of the fire. Nissan has not been notified to date. I am imploring NHTSA to take this apparent prior documented safety issue further beyond what has been concluded in order to prevent any future safety issues should it so be judged by NHTSA as the authority in these matters.

My car caught fire, and it fits the description of the recall from other 2017 rogues but wasn't not listed on the recall list. They are fixing the body harness, and it was an electrical fire

While my wife was driving down the road she turned on the radio at which time the radio volume went instantly to maximum full volume at it's lowest setting which was enhanced by a stock bose amplifier. My wife stated that she was extremely startled which could have caused an accident, she further suffered hearing loss as a result. This is extremely dangerous for all drivers of such a malfuntion as some by such shock could cause fatalities and or serious injury. The manufacturer at Grand Strand Nissan on route 501 in Conway SC, stated it was the Bose amp malfuntion which I swaped out with another Bose amp and the problem still exist. This is very serious.

I was driving along East Passaic Bloomfield, New Jersey it’s a double Saul line two-lane roadway with four major exits into it Garden State Parkway etc. the person in front of me turn left over the Saul lines into a driveway, then put the car in reverse to back out of the driveway, straight across the double Saul lines to his house on the same side as he was going south right in front of my car this roadway is like a highway. The car went into a skid which it shouldn’t have. right in front of my car this roadway is like a highway. The car went into a skid which it should know with the antilock brake system, and upon contact the airbags did that a ploy deploy And upon contact airbags, didn’t deploy my wife, and I have to – my knees hit the dashboard. The person that caused the accident his company with State Farm and they put me at 15% liability which is totally wrong. I was sick at the time when they were going over the money they took thousands of dollars from me now my car is destroyed. They paid me to fix it, which doesn’t even cover the cost of the repairs. The car would have not gotten into the accident if it didn’t skid I would have been able to stop. I need Nissan to do something either replace this car or repair it because the accident should not have occurred. Airbags did not deploy and we got hurt. I’m not looking a lawsuit nothing like that. I want my car just fixed or replaced and the car does have recalls for electrical and other problems

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2017 Nissan Rogue Select verdict →
