NHTSA Complaint #11041544 — 2012 NISSAN ROGUE

MY VEHICLE, A 2012 NISSAN ROUGE CAUGHT ON FIRE IN MY DRIVEWAY WHILE MYSELF AND THE OTHER MEMBERS OF OUR HOME WERE SLEEPING. WHEN I WOKE UP TO A LOUD POPPING NOISE AND RAN TO MY BEDROOM WINDOW FACING THE DRIVEWAY WHERE ALL OF THE VEHICLES WERE PARKED I NOTICED MY VEHICLE, THE NISSAN ROGUE BURNING INTENSELY. THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE IN THE FRONT WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. 911 WAS DIALED IMMEDIATELY AFTER WAKING AND NOTICING AN OBVIOUS FIRE COMING FROM THE 2012 NISSAN ROGUE, AT APPROX. 11:00 PM. BY THE TIME THE FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED, 3 OTHER VEHICLES IN OUR DRIVEWAY, ALONG WITH THE 2012 NISSAN ROGUE, WERE RUINED. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WAS SALVAGEABLE. THE FIRE WAS SO INTENSE THAT IT MELTED ALL OF THE SIDING ON THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE FACING THE DRIVEWAY WHERE THE FIRE OCCURRED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, INCLUDING THE FIRE CHIEF AND FIRE MARSHALL CONDUCTED AN INVESTIGATION AND EXPLAINED TO ME, AS WELL AS THE OWNERS OF THE OTHER VEHICLES, THAT THEY BELIEVE THE FIRE WAS ELECTRICAL AND OBVIOUSLY STARTED WITH THE 2012 NISSAN ROGUE AND ULTIMATELY SPREAD TO THE OTHER VEHICLES BEFORE THE FIRE COULD BE COMPLETELY EXTINGUISHED.
