ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
WHEN STARTING TO TAKE OFF (GOING ANYWHERE FROM 5-20 MPH) MY CAR SHAKES LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL OUT, THE ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO PROPERTY SPEEDUP WHEN ACCELERATING. I FEEL EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE AND NOT SAFE. BUT, I DON'T HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE TO DRIVE. I'VE NOTICE OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE TOO, MILEAGE ON MY PATHFINDER IS ONLY 49,000. IT'S VERY STRESSFUL YIELDING ON TO HIGHWAYS AND PROCEEDING FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT I WAS STOPPED AT. ALSO, I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION THAT I GOT AN OIL CHANGE LAST WEEK. AFTER, DOING SO MY CAR SMELLED LIKE BURNING OIL AFTER DRIVING MORE THAN 500 MILES. I TOOK IT BACK TO THEM TO CHECK THAT EVERYTHING WAS DONE PROPERLY. THEY TOLD ME THAT MY OIL PAN IS RUSTED OUT AND MY OIL STICK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. BECAUSE, THE RUBBER ON THE TOP OF THE DIP STICK IS WEARING. HE SAID THAT IS VERY UNCOMMON FOR THIS AGE OF A VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP!!

MY VEHICLE HAS A POWER LIFT GATE. THERE IS AN INTERNAL HINGE THAT CONNECTS THE STRUT/ARM TO THE LIFTGATE. THIS IS AN INTERNAL PIECE. THIS 'HINGE' SOMEHOW RUSTED AND SNAPPED. I BELIEVE IT'S CALLED THE 'STRUT MOUNT'. THEREFORE THE STRUT/ARM IS NO LONGER CONNECTED TO THE LIFTGATE. THE ENTIRE POWER LIFTGATE SYSTEM IS NOW INOPERABLE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THE ENTIRE POWER LIFTGATE SYSTEM HAS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF ALMOST $2,000.00. I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO ASK FOR ASSISTANCE AND LOG A CASE. THE CASE # IS 33162218. NISSAN DECLINED ASSISTANCE. I FOUND A RECALL ON THE 2014-2016 NISSAN ROGUE MODELS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I BROUGHT THIS UP TO NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND IT DID NOT CHANGE THEIR POSITION. MY ARGUMENT IS: 1) THIS IS AN INTERNAL PART AND SHOULD NEVER HAVE RUSTED. 2) WHY DOES THIS 1 PART REQUIRE THE ENTIRE POWERLIFT GATE BE REPLACED? WHEN THIS FIRST HAPPENED, I WAS OPENING THE LIFTGATE (USING THE POWER FEATURE), IT GOT ABOUT 1/2 UP, STOPPED, THEN SLAMMED BACK DOWN. HOWEVER, IT DID NOT CLOSE ALL THE WAY BECAUSE THE STRUT THAT BROKE FROM THE HINGE WAS LEFT EXTENDED, CAUSING THE LIFTGATE TO NOT BE CLOSED. THIS WAS ACTUALLY DANGEROUS BECAUSE MY ARM COULD HAVE BEEN TRAPPED WHEN THE LIFTGATE CLOSED UNEXPECTEDLY. I FOUND SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ONLINE BUT NO OFFICIAL RECALLS.

BOTH DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS SIDE SUN-VISORS WILL NOT STAY UP AGAINST THE CEILING, OR AGAINST THE WINDSHIELD, AND DROP DOWN INTO MY LINE OF SIGHT, WHICH MAKES IT A HAZARD WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE IT WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE. MYSELF AND HITTING OUR HEAD ON THEM. IT OBSTRUCTS MY VIEW WHILE DRIVING EVEN WHEN MY SEAT IS ALL THE WAY DOWN. NISSAN YOU HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF THIS DEFECTIVE PART AND THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT MAKES DRIVING HAZARDOUS.

STRUCTURE:BODY
THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN WITH THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES. ON BOTH THE FRONT PASSENGER AND DRIVER DOORS, THE PLASTIC DOOR HANDLE HAS BROKEN ON MY VEHICLE (PICTURES ATTACHED), NOT ALLOWING YOU TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. TO EXIT THE VEHICLE YOU NEED TO LOWER THE WINDOW AND OPEN IT FROM THE OUTSIDE HANDLE. THIS COULD PROVE EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS IF YOU NEEDED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE QUICKLY AND THE PLASTIC HANDLE BREAKS. ALL THE PIECES OF THIS PART ARE PLASTIC AND THEY HANDLE HIGH LEVELS OF STRESS PULLING CABLES TO OPEN AND UNLOCK DOORS. YOUTUBE/GOOGLE IS FILLED WITH VIDEOS ON REPAIRING THESE BROKEN HANDLES AND PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE FREQUENCY IN WHICH THEY BREAK.

THE SUN VISORS ON BOTH THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT STAY UP WHILE DRIVING THE PLASTIC SUPPORTS ON BOTH SIDES HAVE CRACKED AND WILL NOT STAY IN THE PROPER POSITION. THIS CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD AS IF THE DO NOT STAY UP IT BLOCKS THE VISIBILITY AND ABILITY TO DRIVE SAFELY. I HAVE HAD TO REMOVE IT AS I DO NOT WANT TO HOLD IT UP WHILE DRIVING.
