On friday, january 24th at approximately 11:50am, my sunroof exploded on my 2015 nissan rogue. weather was dry, road conditions dry and free of debris. outside temperature between 52 and 56 degrees. no overpasses were traveled under. no traffic in front of me. traveling at approximately 60 ' 63mph. i heard a loud explosion and glass fell from the sunroof onto the me, the middle console, both front floor mats, the passenger seat, rear seat and rear floor on both sides. explosion blew up, not down, with the glass pushed upwards at the open, shattered edges.
I noticed recently that my vehicle's heater is not working properly, when i turn on the defogger/ heater, the passenger side works fine, but the driver's side only blows cold air, which, when living in the north east is a problem on cold days as the window will fog up while driving. also, this causes me (the driver) to have to resort to wearing a scarf and gloves while driving as it's my side that is freezing. i've done some research and notice that this is a common problem with the nissan rogue, and that any attempts to re mediate the problem is only temporary and has been known to happen again. this winter (2019-2020) has been extra cold so i only noticed this now when trying to warm up the car.
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 glass. a few of us had cuts on our bodies, so we bandaged those up while there as well. we called insurance, there were no other cars involved fortunately, as there were no other vehicles closely around us when it exploded. the insurance company said we would have ...
Fails to accelerate on long trips, just completely stops accelerating unless vehicle is stopped and allowed to cool off for 10-15 minutes
Hood latch- in motion- highway. the hood will not securely lock into place. when closed/latched the hood can still be moved up and down. it visibly moves at freeway speeds causing distracting line-of-sight and vibrating/shuttering feel while driving. also causes heighten anxiety for fear that the hood will fly up while driving and cause a deadly accident. i have witnessed an alarming number of nissan rogues and other nissan vehicles with hoods violently shaking at freeway speeds. a simple visual examination of nissan vehicles at freeway speeds will show that this is a prevalent and widespread problem. nissan's own instructions state that "the hood should lock into place." other nissan products have already been recalled for this and it is a treacherous oversight that this model of nissan rogue has not been recalled. reporting recalls is not an obvious process to most vehicle owners. a low number of reports is not an indication of a negligible problem. lives are at risk. action is required.
Cvt transmission jerks in eco mode each time after releasing the gas pedal, also even when not using eco mode the grinding noise coming from transmission when going down the hill even if you're not applying on the brake pedal, also front passenger seat vibrates when in drive mode and holding the brake pedal at the light, the suv has only 33,500 miles on it. in my opinion all issues are due to manufactured faulty transmission. according to mechanics consulted was told jatco company that makes transmission for nissan makes bad cvt transmissions. a friend's dad owns a nissan also and had his cvt transmission that went bad replaced with a new purchased cvt transmission from nissan dealership and after about 60,000 miles he's having transmission issues again.
My wife and i on friday april 19,2019 lost acceleration on the car and we had to pull over on the highway in pennsylvania.we had to get the car towed.triple a towed it to able auto shop.the owner john tells me it is a transmission problem and that he doesn't work on transmissions.i then had to have the car towed to lee myles in mt pocono and dominick tells me the transmission is shot.so i am now being told that nissan has no warranty on the transmission.i am very upset and disappointed with nissan.
I have already registered a complaint involving equipment failure and safety. my 2015 nissan rogue does not have interior heat even when the controls are set at 90 degrees. in trying combinations of air-flows as instructed by my dealer, i had to look down to make sure i was pushing the right buttons. talk about distracted driving. when i looked back up, i had just enough time to slam on my brakes so that i would not rear end a logging truck (that was about a 1/2 to full block away when i first looked down) definitely a safety issue in my mind. more importantly: last night i was driving home from a night class (about 7 miles). weather conditions were light snow and light freezing mist. had my temp. set at 90 degrees and controls at full defrost and full fan blower. my windshield continued to ice up because of lack of heat to melt the freezing mist. visibility got so poor i difficulty seeing through my windshield. tried to control the vision by spraying windshield washer fluid using wiper controls. this helped. i cannot believe there has not ...
Interior heat barely warm with temp set at 90. dealer reprogrammed air door positions & heat lasted 1 day. 2nd visit to dealer instructed to change flow positions (switch from outside air to cabin recirculation). windows steamed up; told use ac to dry out air. would like to see a recall for these safety concerns: 1. playing around with buttons to change air flow is distracted driving, having to keep looking down to see which button to try next to get heat to clear window steam (driving city blocks or down the freeway while looking at which combo of heat control buttons to try next) 2. with cabin circulation turned on, windows can stam up suddenly like driving thru fog, until i locate the defrost button, but then i lost heat. 3. safety concern with putting on defroster and not having heat with winter driving; it is scary to have snow falling & although there is enough air to clear steamed windows, there isn't enough heat to melt snow/ice etc. from windshield. surfing the internet, i see i am not alone with this issue. i also learned there is ...
Hot air blows out passenger side. cold air from drivers side. this happens while moving. stationary. all the time. this started in november. once and then appeared to start working properly. now. 1/3/2019 it started not working at all. cold air comes from drivers side all the time and hot from passengers.
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.
The rear passenger door on the driver's side will not open from the inside. i have had adjustments of this door for improper closing twice and now we can't open it from the inside. obviously we are stopped when attempting to open the door.
Won't start stuck in the middle of a storm
Ac and heater. lower portion of the passenger side blows out cold air. unknow why but seems like i am missing a part off of it or why did it go out so fast. i have seen online that this vehicle has many complaints and the system and i don't know why it has not been recalled yet. labor and the way the economy is right we people can not afford high prices labor to get vehicle fix.
Car is just a little of 3 years old with 37k miles and it's begun to show rust on several parts of the frame already. in multiple spots, the paint on the frame was chipping away and rust was visibly pushing it's way through. in one particular area, it was several inches wide. thought this was abnormal for a 3 year old car!
