It has been going on for years, when I am outside the car - the open drivers side door closes by itself and locks by itself. It does t matter where I am parked. Even on level surfaces the door does this. This can be problematic if the driver is locked out as a result of this. Hot weather is here We don’t want someone locked out or a child locked in. As I say, this has been going on for years. The latest incident was last night. I have formed the habit of holding my key ring in my hand when I exit my car. Again, this habit saved me last night.

My car moves after I put it in park. It jerks forward even though I have it in park. Sometimes before I turn the engine off and sometimes after. I believe its the transmission and it should have been recalled but it hasn't.

Their door locks lock you in so you cannot get out which is to me a very dangerous situation I had it replaced and the one they put on it which is new is worse

I’ve taken my car for inspection and was told to NOT drive my car. The “trailing/trilling Arms” have failed and my rear end is about to fall off. I just replaced the transmission last year and this. I’m [XXX] and can not afford these charges ($1300)for a 10 year old car, that’s garage kept. What is going on with this year/model? I will never trust a Nissan again.

Power shifter locks in park when trying to change it to drive or reverse . I found a recall campaign bulletin for shift selector knob for January 2, 2016 . I took my vehicle to a Nissan dealer and I was told they could not honor it . I would have to pay . Reference for recall is NTB16-004 .
#11617366 | Fire
While driving the vehicle a burning smell became present. I pulled over into the nearest parking lot. Smoke started to come out of the engine compartment and increased over a short period of time. Fire flames came through the hood of the car. I called 911 and the fire department had to put out the flames. The car got towed and is sitting in a tow yard pending an insurance inspection. My safety was at risk because the car was engulfed in flames. Not sure if this problem has been reproduced, but I have seen reports of similar Nissan vehicles catching on fire in a similar manner. There were no warning signs that there was an issue with the car and I kept the maintenance of the car up to date. Dashcam installed in car captured me pulling over, the car begin to smoke and flames coming up from the...

The system failure that I keep experiencing is regarding the ignition. When I turn my car off and try to lock the ignition, my key gets stuck and will not release. I have to turn the car back on and off a few times for it to finally release. No warning messages appear and it happened out of nowhere. I thought it might be the key itself, but I do not think that is the problem. I used my addition key fob that I never use to see if the same problem would occur and it did.

Contacted Nissan in Jan of 2024 for recall repair. It is now August 2024 with zero resolution and Nissan Corporate has stopped following up despite multiple attempts for repair.

The transmission went out on a busy highway.

The AC does not work intermittently. When the AC is on, it will blow cold air and then all of a sudden, warm air comes out. Then it may work again and then it will blow warm air. This is a safety concern in Texas when the temperature is very hot outside. This has happened ever since I bought the car in 2015.

This vehicle will fail to accelerate after stopping at stop sign/ red light or in stop/ go traffic. if i hit the gas pedal it won't actually move for seconds and then it will jolt forward. This becomes very dangerous and scary when pulling out onto busy roads. The RPM will start going up while driving for no reason and the car is not actually accelerating. this will happen while driving down the road randomly and the only thing i can do is pull over and shut car off for a minute. i have brough to dealership (a few years ago but they cannot recreate it so i have no options) this has been happening for several years at all different times and always randomly

Nissan blend door is stripped or cracked so there is no heat. Took to garage and they tried gluing but failed after short period. Causes fogged windows and dangerous driving conditions in cold weather.
#11565513 |
My heater was broken, and taken to 3 different mechanics who could not find the problem without dismantling the dashboard.. While waiting for the dealer to take my car in, my windshield froze and I could not see while driving. I needed to repeatedly pull over and manually wipe it clear. The dealer now says that it is a problem with an interior part stripping that controls the heat and has occurred on other cars of the same make and model. There should be a national recall and the cost of repairs should fall on the manufacturer.
#11557673 |
Heating system blows cold air on drivers side. Vehicle taken to mechanic system flushed and blend door actuator replaced, problem still persists. The prevalence of this issue is well-documented in online forums and consumer complaint websites, suggesting that it is not an isolated incident but rather a known and widespread problem affecting a significant number of Nissan Rogue vehicles, especially those made in Korea. Nissan should issue a recall for this issue given the potential safety implications, especially in cold climates where the proper functioning of the heater is essential for defrosting and maintaining clear visibility.
#11554539 | Fire
Unknown, car not available for inspection. The car spontaneously caught fire and exploded while it was being driven in a public parking lot. Unknown. There were no warning lamps or indicators the entire duration of the car catching on fire and exploding.

As part of NHTSA Campaign Number 23V093000, Nissan provided an interim remedy by inserting a fastener into the key slot of the jackknife key on July 21, 2023. After this interim remedy, key blade could not be folded back into the key fob. Another notice was received from Nissan recently which stated that they have a permanent remedy for this which is to insert a spacer into the key slot. As with the interim remedy, the permanent remedy will also prevent the key blade from being folded back into the key fob. In addition, the letter from Nissan states that any keys that are not repaired will be deactivated. Carrying a key with an open key blade in the pant pocket is causing skin irritation and there is a possibility of injury as well. If I decide to get the keys repaired as required by Nissan, then it I have...

The driver side heat blows cold air and won't defrost properly not to mention I am old and can't survive the winters without heat. I live in upstate NY where we get tons of snow, white out conditions etc etc. Our first snowfall was 11/1/23 yesterday and I was wiping my window because I couldn't see anything and had an emergency that I had to go to and went in the other lane because I couldn't see. Thankfully I realized at the last second by looking out my drivers side window. I looked this up and there was another complaint about the same thing and the reported cost was $3300.00 which I don't have because we live paycheck to paycheck. I love my Nissan Rogue and was going to continue buying Nissan vehicles until this happened and now I'm scared to death to even drive it. I will not purchase...

This has been happening for about 2 years now. When I come to stops such as stop signs ,red lights , or intersections when I go to accelerate it has a major delay which has been very scary especially at intersections and sometimes afterwards the rpm shoots up but car is not accelerating. I brought to dealership and they said no codes are coming up so they didn't know. I feel like I could die in this car someday.

There was a voluntary recall of 2014-2016 Rogue rear lift gate stay. The local Nissan dealership and Nissan both noted my 2015 Rogue was not included in the recall even though my rear lift is also broken and manufactured in the same time frame. The rear lift does not stay up making use of the trunk very dangerous. It has the potential to cause a head or other bodily injury. There were and are no warning lights indicating it is broken. The issue first occurred a few weeks ago and I have been trying to get it fixed since. The issue was confirmed yesterday by an independent service center.

I was getting ready to load groceries in the back of my 2015 Nissan Rogue as I have done many times and lifted the lift gate. I let go because the gate always stays up on it's own but this time it came crashing back down with major force and hit me in the head. I was stunned to say the least and have a huge lump on my head. The lift gate is not staying up now. This model only opens from the lift gate release on the door (not on the key Fob). I am hurt but this could have been so much worse. I saw a recall # online for this issue - recall # 16V219000, but was told there isn't a recall of this type on my vehicle.

Air bag light will not go out. Had it “repaired” twice by Nissan dealership in past 2 years. Light again on and will not go out. I saw a couple of recalls pertaining to air bag sensors (16V911000, 16V244000, 22V024000) but was told these do not apply to my VIN. Also, since August 1, 2023, the rear hatch back door will not stay up and came down unexpectedly on my head. I saw there was a recall for my year car for the hatch issue (recall #16V219000) and notified Nissan on 8/8 but I was told my VIN is not part of that recall either. This hatch is a very real hazard as it will not stay up for loading and unloading items. I feel both of the air bag light and the hatch pose ongoing hazards if not remedied. Having these two items addressed and repaired at Nissan’s expense...

My sunroof gets clogged and the water back up onto the sunroof frame. The sunroof seal is fine, but the water on the frame is not fine. When you move the car sometimes the water spills out on the driver and/or passenger. There are significant water marks on my car ceiling from the water standing. My passenger side floor and rear passenger side floor are both wet and hard to get dried from the water leak.

I tried to update the Navigation SD card on this 2015 Nissan Rogue through the official website (www.Navigation.com) and am told that due to technical issues this vehicles navigation cannot be updated. I feel that this is a safety issue as these maps are at least 8 years old and if followed in unknown areas can lead to accidents. Would like to see this resolved by forcing Nissan to address this problem.

I was driving at approximately 25mph in a subdivision and my car turned off. I pulled over immediately to try to crank it but it would not crank. I noticed smoke coming from the engine so I exited the vehicle with my child. The smoke got way worse within a few minutes and then the front engine was engulfed in flames.

I first started noticing this transmission acceleration problem about a year ago when my vehicle has been in stop-and-go traffic for at least 30 minutes or more, the transmission feels like it is going to stall. Pressing on the gas won’t accelerate the vehicle or it is very slow to start moving no matter how hard the gas pedal is pressed. The rpm speeds to 4-5 x1000 but the transmission gear feels stuck at 40mph max. Usually I have noticed that if I am able to pull over and stop the car for a few minutes, I can restart the car engine and didn’t’t see signs of the problem again. My husband believes it’s a transmission and gear shift problem that once the Rogue has been in stop-and-go traffic the system isn’t shifting gears correctly. It put myself and my husband at risk since we took the vehicle on a...

I started noticing about 1.5 years ago that the HVAC system was not working properly. The driver's side will not heat or cool properly. I researched this issue online and NUMEROUS Nissan Rogue owners between 2014-2018 all experienced the same issue. A few posted fixes and I tried all of them but none worked. I should mention I bought this 2015 Nissan Rogue in 2020 and it only had 26,000 miles. It still only has about 42,000 miles. Nissan Consumer Affairs told me to get a diagnosis from a Nissan dealership - the fix is a complete replacement of the HVAC system at the cost of $3000 which I don't have. Nissan Consumer Affairs refused to compensate for any part of the fix. At first I though well, I can deal with it and just use blankets to keep warm in the winter. The dangerous situation happened when I was...

Front passenger seat airbag sensors failed. Airbag light continues to stay on. Dealer rest and sensors failed again several days later. Dealer estimated $6,000+ for repair.

My horn stopped working and my airbag light came on. Now I don’t know if my airbag is going to randomly deploy. The dealership wants more than $600 to fix this faulty part and there are several forums suggesting that this is a known problem. How can a single mother keep herself and her teen driver’s safe while driving this car?

The heat does not work. I live in Illinois and the heater/defrost is essential for safely operating the vehicle. With no defrost, my visibility is impaired and it is not safe to drive. When we had our first cold snap a few weeks ago (Nov 2022) I turned on the heater but only cold air blew out. If I had needed to defrost the windows it would not have worked and I would not have felt safe driving. The Nissan service department said it is the heater core case/HVAC and needs to be completely replaced. This is a factory defect and Nissan should issue a recall. There have been several complaints about this problem.
#11495706 |
No heating on drivers side. During winter cannot clear windshield for driving. Consider this a safety hazard as we cannot see clearly enough when driving vehicle in inclement or cold weather. Took to mechanic who advised it was a “bend door actuator” that needed replacement. Once he got involved, it turns out to be a stripped plastic gear in the heater box. To replace the heater box, the entire dashboard has to be removed which is unheard of on a 2015 car that has not hit 60k in miles. Bought this new, and car has been garaged and properly maintained since purchase.

The spindles (Nissan's word) that control the tailgate fail without warning. when the tailgate is opened from outside or inside it opens all the way but when I step up to the car's rear compartment, the tailgate came down on my head. I took it to the dealership and they told me that the spindles were on back order. That indicates to me that the problem is widespread,

heat box malfunction it blows cold air from the driver's side and hot from the passenger side I have difficulty seeing in the rain and snow does not defrost the windshield I have had this problem since I bought the car me and my brother and we purchased two identical 2015 Nissan Rogue at the same time and the same dealer.

I would like to know when the remedy will be ready for NHTSA RECALL 22V-024. I called Nissan today and was told they didn't have a date. They escalated my concern about driving a vehicle that a fire could start in and where would I be if that happened. It is not possible for me to not drive as I commute 40 minutes to work. Will Nissan replace my vehicle if it catches fire? The recall notification said the fix would be available Spring 2022. This was far from an inexpensive vehicle and I am not currently in a position to not drive it or have it catch fire.

2015 NISSAN ROGUE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO VEHICLE COLLECTING WATER WHEN IT RAINS. THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME DETERMINING A FIX FOR THE WATER LEAK.

The cvt transmission died at 98,000 miles. Stalled I’m the middle of driving. Nissan extended the manufacture warranty to 84,000 to cover the cvt replacement but the transmissions are going out after this mileage.

Outside Temperature Sensor indicates -40'F. This causes the AC to blow hot air even when set to 60'F during the summer. It may cause driver or passenger to overheat. AC problems on 2015 Rogues are the most common problem. Cost to replace AC Auto Amp. is approximately $900.

I received a recall in January 2022 and at the end of May 2022 the parts to correct are still not available?? I have contacted my dealer twice. Why would a company issue a recall and not have the material to repair?
#11465938 |
Air conditioning stopped working causing the windshield to fog up and limit visibility. Defroster is ineffective without air conditioning. Systemic air conditioning problems exist in 2015 and 2016 Nissan Rogues. Countless vehicles have been brought to dealerships for repairs that don't fix the problem. Nissan acknowledges the problem but does not provide a bulletin to dealerships on how to correct the problem. This is a dangerous flaw.
#11463431 |
As I was driving on the highway, my vehicle stopped driving forward and operating as if it was in neutral. My vehicle started rolling backwards on the road so I turned into the shoulder. I turned my car on and off to see if it would correct and it did not. Now, the Nissan dealership is replacing the entire transmission.

My 2015 Rogue has a heating issue. The heat is only warm on passenger side. This also means the defrost doesn't work which can cause issues of seeing the road in rainy or snowy conditions.
#11451380 |
The windshield wiper recoil off has s leak and it drips into the blower for the heater and freezes. When this happens, the heater does not work at all. This causes visibility issues as the defrost/heater will stop working while you’re driving.

My car vibrates while idling when either air conditioner or heat is on (but only when the car is idling; waiting for light to change and not when moving. When my car was under warranty I reported this to my Nissan service repair mechanic when car was under warranty and was told that was normal. I purchased a car in 2016 and now in 2022 it is still happening. Just need to make sure I’m safe and that car won’t blow up or something. Thank you .

Had brakes checked because of grinding noise..break pads or still new.He said rotors have pits all over them and that's where noise is coming from. Doesn't exactly know reason for it. I never experienced this with any other vehicles I've had before.
#11443017 |
The transmission started to fail at 70,000 miles. I am now getting a full replacement at 90,000. I have owned the car the entire time and have been adamant about changing transmission fluid and oil. At 75,000 miles my transmission started to slip at 75 MPH, slowing me down to 30 MPH on a highway. A snowplow almost rear ended me and there was no where I could go as it was a blizzard. Since and before, it has jerked pretty hard, shutting in traffic and while driving highway speeds. It is ridiculous and dangerous to have this as issue in a relatively new car. It should be illegal to sell defective cars and Nissan needs to be held accountable.
#11441469 |
I was driving on the highway with my one year old child and with no warning lights my transmission stopped working the rpms were going out of control and I couldn't drive the car. We were lucky to get out of that situation safely. I contacted Nissan about the transmission codes recall and asked if it would be covered they said yes. I went in with the vehicle and they told.me the transmission would need to be replaced. The car is in perfect condition and shouldn't have these issues. Specially with NO warning. Nissan has tip toed around this issue with me. I did my research and posted to social media to find out SO many more have had this exact issue in older and newer models and Nissan has refused to take responsibility for there faulty CVT transmission. They are still putting them in vehicles leaving it to the...
