NHTSA Complaint #11130461 — 2017 NISSAN ROGUE

THE VEHICLE INITIALLY WOULD NOT START ON 1/17/18 WHILE PARKED. I CALLED NISSAN ROADSIDE AND THEY SENT A TOW TRUCK A FEW HOURS LATER. VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE JUMPED. TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. I GOT THE VEHICLE BACK SEVERAL DAYS LATER AND THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. I WAS AT WORK SO I WAITED ON CALLING FOR A TOW AND WHEN I WENT BACK OUT IT TURNED OVER. IN MARCH, I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE VEHICLE WAS AGAIN STATIONARY AND COULD NOT BE JUMPED SO IT WAS TOWED. THE DEALER TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT FIND AN ISSUE SO I TOOK THE CAR BACK. ON 8/18/18 I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN I FELT THE CAR SEEM TO LOSE POWER AND HEARD A WHINING OR WHISTLING NOISE WHICH I INITIALLY THOUGHT WAS A WINDOW SLIGHTLY OPEN. I GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE AND PARKED IN THE CLOSEST AREA I COULD. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND I AGAIN CALLED NISSAN ROADSIDE. THE DEALER HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 2-3 WEEKS AND AGAIN RETURNED IT TELLING ME IT WAS OK. ON 9/11/18 I WENT TO GET LUNCH AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED WORKING IN A PARKING LOT. I TOOK VIDEO ON 9/11/18 OF THE PROBLEM AND AGAIN HAD TO BE TOWED AND FIND A RIDE HOME (1 HOUR FROM HOME). NOW I AM TOLD THE DEALER ADDED SOME "HARNESS" AND IT SHOULD WORK FINE SO I SHOULD COME PICK IT UP. THIS VEHICLE IS CLEARLY DANGEROUS. I WAS DRIVING SO I WAS ABLE TO HANDLE IT BUT IF MY WIFE OR SOMEBODY ELSE WAS DRIVING I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. I HAVE FURTHER REPAIR ORDERS NOT INCLUDED IN THE ATTACHED DOCUMENTS.
