My car has started leaking water onto the driver's side floorboard. I thought it might be from the sunroof and cleaned out the channels on both sides of the car. There was a recall years ago about a harness causing a problem with leaking water and possibly causing electrical problems. I took the car in for the repair. They told me that they fixed the problem. My car has started leaking again as it rains. The leak is getting worse and I need some advice. I am retired and have very limited funds. Sincerely, [XXX] [XXX] ph# [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
1.Frame bracket has rusted out and dealer only sells whole frame. VERY EXPENSIVE *It is obviously an issue which has not been addressed but has been *noted on internet. (went after market to repair still at $775!) 2. Airbags system light now on and was on recall in the past. Dealer will only look at it for $100. * Noted on internet as a continuous issue for some. 3. Cruise Control on past recall. Has not functioned since dealer fixed in recall. *Still turns on by itself and will not go off unless I turn vehicle off. **Definite safety issue** 4. Parking brake not functioning properly was also on recall. If I use it then it will not release all the way and continues to drag. USELESS. Have had repaired 2 times by mechanic since recall. 5. Transmission replaced on SILENT recall with extended warranty. Had issues from almost the...
FRONT EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE DOES NOT WORK FROM COLD FROST WEATHER. VEHICLE WAS PARKED. SAME PROBLEM FROM PREVIOUS RECALL IN 2014.
MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR JUST STOPPED WORKING/INABILITY TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. PER LOCAL NISSAN SERVICE CENTER, IT IS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ACCELERATOR. I'VE SEEN THIS PROBLEM COME UP ON SEVERAL ONLINE FORUMS WHEN I GOOGLED NISSAN DRIVER SIDE DOOR RECALL AND IT LOOKS LIKE NISSAN HAD A VOLUNTARY RECALL FOR NISSAN DOOR HANDLES IN THE PAST.
IT WAS FREEZING WEEK WEATHER TEMPERATURE. I CAME HOME AND THE NEXT MORNING I COULD NOT OPEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. IT CLICKED TO OPEN AND LOCKED BUT THE DOOR WON'T OPEN. I HAD TO CRAWL FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE TO GO TO THE DRIVER SEAT. I WENT TO HAVE IT REPAIR BUT IT WILL COST ME $465.00. I CANNOT AFFORD IT. SO MEANWHILE, I WILL CRAWL FROM PASSENGER SIDE TO THE DRIVER SEAT. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH CAR DOORS IN MY ENTIRE SEVEN CARS I HAD. DANGEROUS AND SCARED BUT I JUST HAVE TO DO IT. I NEED A RIDE TO WORK.
FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE FAILED - DOOR COULD NOT BE OPENED. NISSAN HAD ISSUED AN SERVICE CAMPAIGN THAT COVERED REPAIRS IF THE ISSUE HAPPENED BY 72,000 MILES. ISSUE OCCURRED AT 74,000 MILES SO REFUSED TO COVER THE COST. THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE IF I NEEDED TO ESCAPE FROM THE VEHICLE FROM THAT DOOR. DUE TO THE SAFETY ASPECT, NISSAN SHOULD BE ISSUING A RECALL FOR THE LIFETIME OF THE VEHICLE. DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE HAD STARTED TO FAIL AT TIME OF REPAIR AND HAD TO BE REPLACED ALSO. AGAIN, NISSAN REFUSED TO HONOR THE SERVICE CAMPAIGN.
DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR ON BOTH FRONT DOORS FROZE AFTER FREEZING RAIN/ ICE STORM. IN THE MORNING I OPENED THE DOOR AND STARTED THE CAR (DID NOT CLOSE THE DOOR) AND WENT INSIDE THE HOUSE WHILE IT WARMED-UP. WHEN I RETURNED THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE OR THE INSIDE HANDLES. THE PASSENGER DOOR HAD STOPPED WORKING FROM THE OUTSIDE HANDLE ABOUT 6 WEEKS EARLIER AFTER A SIMILAR STORM, THOUGH I WAS NOT AWARE OF THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PROBLEM TO THE WEATHER AT THE TIME. WHEN I TRIED TO OPEN THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE HANDLE ON 03/12/2014 IT WOULD NOT OPEN. I WAS NOW NOT ABLE TO ACCESS THE VEHICLE FROM EITHER FRONT DOOR. I WAS ABLE TO CLIMB IN THROUGH THE BACK SEAT, OVER THE CONSOLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF. I WAS THEN DIRECTED BY NISSAN CUSTOMER AFFAIRS TO BRING THE...
WHILE DRIVING ~65MPH ON THE INTERSTATE IN STEADY TRAFFIC ON DRY ASPHALT, THE PASSENGER-SIDE REAR DOOR WINDOW "EXPLODED." THE PASSENGER SEATS WERE IN THE DOWN (FLAT) POSITION; MOST OF THE GLASS FELL IN TO THE CAR, BUT ENOUGH BLEW OUT OF THE CAR TO EMBED IN/SCRATCH THE EXTERIOR PAINT. NISSAN DEALER IN THE AREA OF OUR TRAVEL VACUUMED THE GLASS OUT OF THE CAR AND LOOSELY COVERED THE WINDOW SPACE WITH MASKING TAPE AND PLASTIC SEAT COVERS (THE KIND USED TO COVER THE SEAT FOR TRANSPORT AND/OR GARAGE WORK). SINCE THIS WAS A ROAD TRIP SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES FROM HOME, WE HAD TO REINFORCE THE PLASTIC COVER JOB WITH HEAVY CARDBOARD, ADDITIONAL PLASTIC, AND TAPE SO WE COULD DRIVE THE INTERSTATE AND PROTECT THE CAR FROM FURTHER DAMAGE, WIND, AND RAIN. I CONTACTED MY HOME DEALERSHIP TO ADVISE OF THE INCIDENT AND REQUEST THAT PARTS BE ORDERED TO MAKE REPAIR...
MY BAND NEW 2008 ROGUE WAS HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. MY CAR WAS NOT MOVING AND THE OTHER CAR BACKED INTO MY CAR GOING ABOUT 5 MILES PER HOUR. MY BUMPER WAS COMPLETING DENTED INWARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. MY HEADLIGHT ALSO NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME MY NEW CAR HAS BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT FOR A MINOR FENDER BENDER FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. *TR
