NHTSA Complaint #10649061 — 2013 NISSAN ROGUE

1ST ELECTRICAL PROBLEM STARTED WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WHEN ON VACATION AUGUST 2014. NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEM AND RADIO WOULD NOT WORK. STEERING WHEEL IF SHARP TURN MADE A LOUD NOISE. HAPPENED FOR 1 DAY AND THEN EVERTHING WORKED AGAIN. 9/24/14 MY NISSAN ROGUE 2013 WAS NOW COMPLETELY DEAD AND HAD TO MANUALLY UNLOCK DOOR. CALLED AAA WHO JUMP STARTED VEHICLE AND STATED REPLACING BATTERY WOULD NOT SOLVE PROBLEM. THE AAA MECHANIC STATED THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM....SOMETHING CONTINUED TO DRAIN THE BATTERY EVEN AFTER THE JUMP START. BROUGHT TO COASTAL NISSAN WHERE I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE TESTED FINE AND DID NOT HAVE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. NEVER WAS I INFORMED THERE ARE COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS OF INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND THE ROGUE NOT STARTING. MY VEHICLE IS ALMOST AT THE END OF ITS WARRANTY. 10/21/14 COMING OUT OF THE GARAGE LATE LAST NIGHT WHEN MAKING SHARP TURNS THE STEERING WHEEL MAKE LOUD NOISES. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW WOULD NOT GO UP. THIS MORNING THE VEHICLE MADE A CLICKING NOISE BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START. THE DRIVERS' SIDE WINDOW WILL NOT GO UP OR DOWN ALTHOUGH THE LIGHTS AND OTHER WINDOWS WORK. DECLINED AAA JUMPSTART SINCE THIS HAS BEEN INTERMITTENT AND I NEEDED COASTAL NISSAN TO NOT BE ABLE TO DENY ANY PROBLEM. AFTER CHECKING ON LINE IT APPEARS MANY OTHER NISSAN OWNERS ARE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO HAVE AN AGENCY LIKE YOUR'S TO ENSURE OTHERS ARE AWARE OF SAFETY ISSUES AND DEFECTS IN VEHICLES. I ALSO CONTACTED THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS AT NISSAN PER THE EMAILS I SAW FROM OTHER OWNERS. IF ANYONE ELSE HAS THIS INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL PROBLEM JUST HAVE VEHICLE TOWED SO NISSAN CANNOT DENY A PROBLEM OR FAIL TO ADDRESS AND FIX IT. *TR
