What 609 owners told NHTSA about the 2018 Nissan Rogue

I was driving on the expressway when my car started shaking and a malfunction message came on. My steering then started to steer only to the left and the car would not allow me to control the steering any longer. I hit the median wall, did a 360 and was facing the opposite direction of traffic. The door initially would not unlock to let me out. I kept trying in a panic and all of a sudden they unlocked for me to get out. My car was totaled out by my insurance company.

Vehicle is three years old. Never used the spare previously. Had a nail in the tire, so called Nissan Care to come and change it. Nissan Care arrived, used the spare that came with the vehicle and changed the tire. Immediately upon driving it, my wife heard weird noises, including grinding under her feet and grinding near the front right of the vehicle. Some knowledgeable car experts at her work told her she needs to get it checked out. She drove on it for less than 15 minutes before hearing a loud pop from the back, at which point the vehicle started smoking. She drove it to a nearby dealer. The dealer indicated the spare tire was not the same size as the others and because the vehicle has an intelligent all wheel drive system, this caused the rear differential to explode. Nissan RO # 6112906 is the reference number at Martin Nissan in Skokie, IL.

WHILE TURNING ON AN OFF RAMP THE STEERING GAVE OUT AND LOCKED, CAUSING THE CAR TO DRIVE DIRECTLY INTO THE GUARD RAIL. YES THE CAR WAS MOVING BUT STEALTHILY AS I SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE THE TURN. THE CAR WAS THROWN FROM THE LEFT GUARD RAIL TO THE RIGHT SIDE CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE AND NO AIRBAG DEPLOYED IN THE EVENT OF THIS CRASH. THE CAR WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO MOVE FROM SUCH A DRASTIC ACCIDENT AND YET IT WAS NOT ENOUGH FOR THE AIRBAGS TO EVEN ATTEMPT TO SAVE OUR LIVES. THERE WERE KIDS IN THE CAR! THANK THE HEAVENS WE WERE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WRECK ALIVE. ONE WHEEL WAS TURNED INWARD AS IT ATTEMPTED TO TURN WHILE THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL STAYED STRAIGHT. IT WAS A NIGHTMARE AND WE ARE ALL STILL SHAKEN UP BY THIS.
