Hatch hydraulic lift failed and trunk slammed on me. I also believe the hood latch might be a safety concern due to the hood wiggling like it doesn’t want to stay shut and shaking when on highway
There is standing water on the driver’s side floorboard and a sloshing noise can be heard while driving. This appears to match conditions described in a Technical Service Bulletin (reference: NTB14-105a). The issue is especially bad in rainy conditions and the accumulation of moisture causes condensation on the inside of the windshield and windows making it difficult to clear off to see while driving. Additionally due to the large amount of water, mold is starting to grow on the interior upholstery. The vehicle has been inspected by the dealer who confirmed the issue although they declined to cover the cost of the repair as there are currently no active recalls related to this issue. They further claim that NTB14-105a does not apply to this vehicle.
The harness that controls the lift gate is malfunctioning. It’s an issue from the previous recall that has reproduced results. The only way to fix it is to disconnect and connect the safety pins by the foot panel on the drivers side door. Over time it has progressively gotten worse to the point that anytime it opens, it’ll need to be disconnected and then connected before the next time you use it. Also one time it stopped working when the lift gate was open and would not let you close the lift gate.
There is water leak on Driver side floor and is covered under Nissan Service Bulletin NTB14-105a. The carpet is wet on the driver and/or front passenger floor and the source of the wetness is not caused by the air conditioning system.
The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that there was a strong damp and mold like odor coming from the front driver's side footwell location. The contact stated that the front driver's side footwell was continuously wet in rainy weather. Additionally, the check engine warning light was illuminated intermittently. The contact later received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V024000 (Electrical System) and the vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the wiring harness under the dash was inspected and lithium-based grease was applied on the wires coating for water protection; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed; however, no failure was found. The contact stated that the recall remedy was not effective since it did not address the water leak. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure...
My vehicle has a sun/moon roof. There are 2 drains that go down the side. The problem is there is a white piece of plastic that has plastic in the center at the bottom of the drain. If this gets clogged it causes the moon roof to leak water all over the interior. When this happened to me I was driving water and fell into my face and eyes. This was very unsafe. To fix the issue I used pliers to remove the inner plastic from the white plastic at the bottom of the drain. This should be recalled because there is no benefit to this center plastic. After water leaves the drain it goes out a 3 inch by 3 inch hole cut into the metal, then falls to the ground. There is no benefit restricting water out these drains. This will cause the sunroof to clog over and...
Rear power liftgate opens and drops halfway on my head. This is not a one time problem. It's a defective liftgate issue where it opens to the top and then drops halfway every time the liftgate opens.
Rear lift gate falls, will not stay up on its own. Appears to be a 2016 recall on other models of the same year that did not include my vin, however I am having the same issue of the lift gate falling on my head.
The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that she noticed that the papers on her sun visor were significantly moist and the headliner was stained. The contact later noticed that the carpet was soaked and that the water stains had extended from the headliner to the interior door liner. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who advised the contact to vacuum the water out of the carpet. The contact vacuumed the carpet however, the failure persisted. The contact stated that while driving in the rain, water was leaking from the ceiling onto the front driver's and passenger's seats, the front driver's door, and the front passenger's door. The contact stated that the failure had caused mold to develop on the carpet and on some other parts inside the vehicle. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who informed the contact that the carpet would be...
I have had to repair the rear window for leaking water through 2x. It is still a factory window but significant amounts of water was leaking. I had it repaired 2x, re-glued. But it is similar to the recall for the side door for the rogue. The water leaking caused electrical problems (doors lock/unlock on own, etc) but must've stopped once it was dry. The date listed is for the last repair but was repaired a few years prior also.
The hydraulics (?) in my manual lift gate suddenly failed. The hatchback slammed shut, and I barely ducked away in time. I was shaking.I thank God that my grandchildren weren’t the one retrieving an item. They could have been killed or paralyzed. I saw that Nissan recalled the Rogue for tailgate problems, but was told my vehicle wasn’t covered. (Nissan Case #44796538). This defect means no one can use my cargo space without risking life and limb. This happened approximately the first week in September. No warnings. Anyone is welcome to inspect my car. In my decades of car ownership, I have never had this happen on any vehicle. Scary.
Hood was inadvertently released by driver due to hood latch release's location next to the fuel door release. Driver then pulled out of gas station onto street. While traveling under 15 miles per hour and within a block, the hood flew upward, obscuring the driver's view, causing damage to the hood, fenders, and cowl filler pieces. Damage has been inspected by the insurance appraiser/body shop manager, who confirmed the hood release safety latch was "frozen" and only became operative after manually manipulating it several times. The same individual mentioned this was the second Rogue in less than a year where he had noted hood damage, again without affecting the windshield or the roof. Cause of damage in that case was only learned after the appraiser had questioned the driver and the driver mentioned that the hood had flown up in a prior unrelated incident.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT MOISTURE HAD BEEN ENTERING THE VEHICLE, CAUSING THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR MAT TO REMAIN SATURATED WITH WATER. THE CONTACT HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO BYERLY NISSAN (4027 DIXIE HWY, LOUISVILLE, KY 40216) WHERE THEY HAD INSPECTED THE VEHICLE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS HOWEVER, THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT YET DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THEY INFORMED HER THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT BE REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE REMAINED IN THE POSSESSION OF THE DEALER UNREPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS INVALID.
DUE TO COVID, WORKING FROM HOME, SHOPPING SOLELY ONLINE AND HAVE VIRTUAL MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS. RARELY USE CAR AND IT SAT UNDRIVEN FOR WEEKS. WATER ACCUMULATING IN MOONROOF DRAIN CAUSED HAZARDOUS MOLD ISSUE IN CAR INTERIOR. WAS NOT WARNED AND DEALER DID NOT APPARENTLY CHECK DRAINS. HAVE BREATHING ISSUES AND MOLD IS A HEALTH ISSUE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND HEALTH HAZARD. AT MINIMUM BUYERS SHOULD BE WARNED THIS CAN HAPPEN. IT IS NOWHERE IN OWNERS OR SERVICE MANUALS. REPAIR IS APPROX 1/3 PRICE OF A NEW CAR. INSURANCE DOES NOT COVER. CHECK DRAINS DURING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE VISITS.
ON THE TRUNK DOOR, THERE IS RUSTING, ESPECIALLY AROUND THE NISSAN EMBLEM. ON THE TOP OF THE TRUNK DOOR, ON THE SPOILER, THERE IS A LOT OF RUSTING AND SCRATCHES STARTED TO APPEAR OUT OF NOWHERE, SOME OF THEM ARE VERY SMALL AND BETTER NOTICED WHEN LOOKING CLOSELY OR ZOOMING IN ON A PHOTO. SURFACE FEELS ROUGH. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN TO ANY CAR WASH PLACES. THE SCRATCHES AND RUSTING SEEM TO ONLY APPEAR AT THIS SPOT. MY OTHER VEHICLES, INCLUDING ANOTHER NISSAN, HAVE ALL BEEN TAKEN CARE THE SAME WAY AND THEY DO NOT HAVE THIS TYPE OF RUSTING. THE RUSTING WAS FIRST NOTICED IN LATE SPRING DURING COVID-19 QUARANTINE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVEN MUCH, AND IT APPEARS TO HAVE GOTTEN WORSE SINCE THEN. NISSAN CALLED THIS A "COLOR DISTORTION", WHICH I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS SINCE THE SURFACE FEELS ROUGH. I TALKED TO...
THE HOOD LATCHES IN THE LOCK BUT IS SHAKES REALLY BAD WHILE DRIVING ESPECIALLY WHILE ON I-10 HIGHWAY IT SEEMS AS IF IT CATCHES ONE GOOD WIND IT WILL COME OUT AND SHATTER MY WINDSHIELD!
REAR HATCH DOOR WONT CLOSE/LOCK
4 PASSENGERS IN OUR AWD ROUGE (2015), WITH A PANORAMIC SUNROOF, WERE DRIVING ON 1-85 FROM LAS VEGAS, NV BACK TO SALT LAKE CITY, UT ON 12/08/2019, IN THE COUNTY OF BEAVER ABOUT 30 MILES FROM FILLMORE, UT, AT ABOUT 75 MPH (80 MPH INTERSTATE SPEED ZONE), WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN, WE HEAR A LOUD CRASHING SOUND. THERE WERE NO VEHICLES AROUND US ON THE ROAD, SO WE WERE ALL EXTREMELY TERRIFIED. THE CAR HAD BECOME VERY LOUD AT THAT POINT, AND WE IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO SIDE OF THE ROAD. WE FOUND THAT THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF HAD COMBUSTED, LITERALLY SPONTANEOUSLY. IT WAS COMPLETELY WRECKED AND FOR NO REASON AT ALL. WE TOOK IT TO A SMALL SERVICE STATION AS SOON AS WE COULD, BUT WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF SMALL TOWNS WHEN THIS HAPPENED. ALL THEY WERE ABLE TO DO WAS ALLOW US TO VACUUM UP THE...
THE PASSENGER DOOR DOESN'T LATCH PROPERLY. WHENEVER SOMEONE LEANS ON THE DOOR, IT CAUSES THE WARNING LIGHTS AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO TURN ON.THIS HAPPENS WHETHER OR NOT THE CAR IS IN MOTION. IT'S TERRIFYING.
WHILE DRIVING ON I94 IN WISCONSIN MY SUNROOF EXPLODED. I WASN'T BEHIND ANY TRUCKS AND I DIDN'T GO UNDER ANY BRIDGE. I HEARD I HUGE BANG AND WHEN I LOOKED UP MY SUNROOF WAS IN MILLIONS OF TINY BITS. WHEN I PRESSED ON IT, CAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, THE GLASS CAME FALLING DOWN ON ME AND ALL OVER MY CAR.
TAILGATE CORROSION WHEN VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A COVERED GARAGE. AUTOMATIC REAR HATCH NO LONGER OPERATES/WORKS.
NO INCIDENT YET BUT THE FRONT HOOD IS BEGINNING TO CORRODE AND THE CORROSION IS CREEPING UP ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE HOOD. WE HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN WITHOUT SUCCESS. THERE HAS BEEN NO RESOLUTION.
BUMPERS ARE NOT SECURE. THEY USE A PLASTIC SHIELDING THAT DO NOT PROPERLY PROTECT AGAINST BAD ACCIDENTS. MOST VEHICLES BARELY HAVE PROTECTIVE BUMPERS, PUTTING PEOPLE'S LIVES AT RISK. EVERY YEAR, NEW MODELS BRING LESS FRONT AND REAR ACCIDENT IMPACT PROTECTION. IT IS A GOOD DEAL FOR MANUFACTURERS AND INSURANCE COMPANIES, BUT NOT FOR CUSTOMERS. ON JANUARY 2017, I SUFFERED AN ACCIDENT WHERE MY FRONT "BUMPER" NEEDED TO BE FIXED, BUT MY DEALERSHIP CHARGED ME FOR ABOUT $5,500.00TO REPLACE A "PROTECTIVE PLASTIC SHIELDING" AND THE COMPRESSOR. NOW MI INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE CHARGING ME A LOT TO RENEW MY POLICIES. *TT *TR
MY ROOF RACK ON MY 2015 NISSAN ROGUE IS FALLING APART. WENT TO A FORUM AND FOUND A LOT OF COMPLAINTS. IT IS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING.
IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED ON OTHER MODELS BUT NOT MINE APPARENTLY. THE HOOD LATCH ISSUE, MY HOOD SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY WHILE DRIVING OVER 65 MILES AN HOUR. YOU CAN VISIBLY SEE THE HOOD SHAKING IT IS LOUD AND IT IS VERY SCARY THINKING THE HOOD MIGHT BLOW OFF THE CAR
I BOUGHT THIS 2015 NISSAN ROGUE SL BRAND NEW, WITH THE PLASTIC STILL ON IT. SINCE I'VE OWNED IT I HAVE HAD NOTHING EXCEPT PROBLEMS WITH THE DRIVERS SEAT. NAMELY THE FRAME OF THE SEAT HAS BEEN REPLACED 2 TIMES. THE PLASTIC COVERING ON THE SIDE OF THE SEAT WITH THE POWER SEAT CONTROLS HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES. THE LATEST THIS PAST WEEK. THEN THE CHROME MOLDING ON TOP OF THE DRIVERS DOOR KEEPS COMING OFF AND HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES. THEN BACK TO THE SEAT ISSUE. I MIGHT ADD THAT THE PLASTIC PART OF AT THE BOTTON OF THE PASSENGER SEAT ON THE SIDE IS NOW NEEDING REPLACED. AS FAR AS THE DRIVERS SEAT GOES, WHEN ACCELERATING OR STOPPING, IT CLICKS. SO I EXPECT THAT THE FRAME WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN SOON. THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH THIS IS THAT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS...
I WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON MILITARY TRAIL PREPARING TO TURN RIGHT AT PIPERS GLEN. THE LIGHT WAS GREEN AND THERE WAS A WHITE CAR IN THE MIDDLE LANE WAITING TO ENTER MILITARY. I SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE MY TURN AND SUDDENLY MY CAR ACCELERATED. IF I CONTINUED TO TURN THERE WAS NO DOUBT I WOULD HAVE HIT THE WAITING CAR. I PROCEEDED STRAIGHT, PASSED THIS CAR AND DROVE ONTO A GRASSY AREA. MY FRONT WHEEL HIT THE CURB WHICH SLOWED MY CAR BUT PUSHED ME ALONG THE SIDE OF THE WHITE CAR CAUSING DAMAGE TO BOTH CARS. THE FIRE TRUCKS CAME AND A POLICE CAR. SINCE NO ONE WAS HURT I WAS INSTRUCTED TO LEAVE MY CAR THERE TO BE TOWED . MY SON PICKED ME UP AND I CALLED THE TOWING CO. ABOUT 1 HOUR LATER I WAS CALLED AND TOLD THE TOW WAS ON THE WAY. WHEN WE...
DURING RAIN OR DRIVING THROUGH CAR WASH WATER ENTERS THE INTERIOR OF VEHICLE THROUGH DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW,PASSENGER WINDOW OR BACK HATCH. *TR
VEHICLE SIDE WINDOW GLASS RATTLES AND SHAKES WHEN WINDOWS ARE PARTIALLY OPEN. THEY ARE NOT SECURED PROPERLY INTO DOOR FRAME. COULD LEAD TO WINDOW BREAKING OR EXPLODING AT SPEED, CAUSING HEAVY DISTRACTION AND POTENTIAL ACCIDENT. RATTLE VARIES BETWEEN WINDOWS (IN MY VEHICLE, DRIVERS WINDOW IS WORST), SO IT LOOKS LIKE A VARIANCE IN PRODUCTION OF VEHICLE. THE HIGHER THE SPEED, THE MORE THE WINDOW SHAKES.
MY NISSAN ROGUE HAS A VIBRATION ISSUE THAT IS NOTICEABLE WHEN THE CAR IS RESTING AT A RED LIGHT, AND WHILE DRIVING. YOU CAN SEE THE PASSENGER CHAIR VIBRATING AND THE DASHBARD IS NOTICEABLE WHEN MY GPS UNIT IS MOUNTED ONTO IT. I TOOK IT TO BAYRIDGE NISSAN INC, IN BROOKLYN, NY -THIS IS THE DEALER THAT I PURCHASED ROGUE FROM , DON'T KNOW IF THIS PROBLEM IS A SAFETY DEFECT . DEALERSHIP SAYS NO FIX FOR IT.
DRIVING A NORMAL FOUR LANE ROAD ABOUT 25 MPH AFTER STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT. A/C ON. WINDOWS CLOSED. SUN ROOF EXPLODED UP AND OUT LIKE THE CAB HAD TO MUCH PRESSURE, ALMOST LIKE A BALLOON. NOTHING HIT IT FROM OUTSIDE OR INSIDE. TEMP. OUTSIDE WAS 85C. *TR
