NHTSA Complaint #11664157 — 2023 NISSAN ROGUE

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to report a critical and life-threatening safety incident involving my Nissan Rogue. While driving at a sustained speed of 65 mph on a highway, the steering wheel suddenly locked aligned on right side without warning. This mechanical failure rendered me completely unable to steer, putting my life and the lives of others (including my friend’s little daughter) on the busiest highway in immediate danger. Somehow I was able to hit the hard brake and get on the right curb after two lane without any control on the wheel to slow down my car. This is an abnormal and catastrophic malfunction. The sudden loss of steering control at high speed could have easily resulted in a fatal accident. Fortunately, I was able to avoid a crash, but the incident left me heavily shaken and raises serious concerns about the safety integrity of this vehicle. I also got hurt in my right hand although no airbag was deployed. This incident appears to be the result of a manufacturer defect or electronic failure, not driver error or wear and tear. I am requesting that Nissan immediately investigate this issue, and I demand: 1.Full diagnostic evaluation at no cost to me 2.Repair or replacement of defective systems under warranty or recall terms 3.Compensation for the emotional distress, potential loss of life, and loss of vehicle use caused by this incident Should this be confirmed as a broader issue, I urge Nissan to initiate a recall to prevent others from suffering potential injuries or fatalities. A failure of this magnitude must be treated with the highest urgency. Please contact me promptly to confirm that you have received this complaint and to begin the investigation process. I am prepared to escalate this matter through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and pursue legal remedies if necessary.
