ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE WHILE PARKED OVERNIGHT IN A GARAGE. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WAS ENGULFED IN SMOKE AND MUCH OF THE INTERIOR DRIVER'S SIDE MELTED WITH THE HEAT. MY FAMILY WOKE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT TO THE SOUND OF THE HORN CONTINUOUSLY BLARING. WE DISCOVERED A SMOLDERING FIRE INSIDE THE CAR WHICH WAS EXTINGUISHED BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS REMOVED FROM OUR PROPERTY AND IS BELIEVED TO BE A TOTAL LOSS. WE LATER DISCOVERED A RECENTLY-ISSUED RECALL FOR CORROSION OF THE ELECTRICAL HARNESS BELOW THE FLOOR MATS, CAUSING A SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL PANEL - THIS APPEARS TO BE THE CAUSE OF THE INCIDENT BUT IT IS CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION BY OUR INSURANCE COMPANY AND NISSAN NORTH AMERICA. *JS

AIR BAGS
THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT TURNS ON AND THE AIRBAG SHUTS OFF WHILE A PERSON IS SITTING IN THE SEAT AND THE CAR IS IN MOTION. THIS HAPPENED AT 50,000 MILES AND NISSAN REPLACED THE SEAT. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AT 79,000 AND NISSAN WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP TURNED OFF THE BLINKING LIGHT BUT AGAIN WHEN A PERSON SAT IN THE SEAT THE AIRBAG TURNED OFF AGAIN. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE NOT SURE IF THE AIRBAG IS WORKING. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY (100,000 MILES) BUT THEY STILL REFUSE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT NISSAN HAS RECALLED OLDER AND NEWER MODELS OF THE ROGUE. I DID RESEARCH ON-LINE AND THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH ROGUES AND OTHER NISSAN VEHICLE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM FOR THE SAFETY OF PASSENGERS BECAUSE FOR NO REASON THE AIRBAG MALFUNCTIONS DURING USE AND WHERE IT IS SAFE TO PULL OVER. I CALLED THE NISSAN COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT AND THEY TOLD ME I SHOULD BE HAPPY BECAUSE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND IT OCCURS MORE FREQUENTLY. I'M NOT HAPPY OR IMPRESSED, STILL NO RECALL. PLEASE HELP THERE ARE CITIZENS THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND NISSAN IS IGNORING US. *JS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON SEPTEMBER 26, 2013 I HAD BROUGHT MY 2011 NISSAN ROGUE CAR IN FOR SERVICE BECAUSE MY REAR RIGHT DOOR WAS NOT LOCKING/UNLOCKING PROPERLY, AS IT TURNED OUT THE LATCH WAS DEFECTIVE, IT WAS REPLACED. TWO MONTHS LATER, I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE DRIVER''S DOOR WAS HAVING PROBLEMS LOCKING/UNLOCKING. AS IT TURNED OUT THAT LATCH WAS DEFECTIVE AS WELL. (THAT LATCH WAS REPLACED ON DECEMBER 3, 2013.) DURING THIS VISIT I ASKED THAT ALL THE DOORS BE CHECKED (WHILE UNDER WARRANTY) BECAUSE IT SEEMED THAT PERHAPS THIS WAS A DEFECT IN THE CAR''S MANUFACTURING. MY WARRANTY HAS SINCE EXPIRED AS OF MAY, 2014 AND TWO MONTHS LATER IN AUGUST, 2014 THE REAR DRIVER''S DOOR AND NOW THE FRONT PASSENGER''S DOOR ARE MALFUNCTIONING. (DOORS HAVE TO BE OPEN/CLOSED AND LOCKED/UNLOCKED MANUALLY.) THIS NOT ONLY IS A BURDEN, BUT AS A SINGLE WOMEN IT IS A SECURITY RISK NOT ONLY TO MY PERSON BUT TO THE VEHICLE ITSELF. I HAD CONTACTED DEALERSHIP ON BOTH OF THESE ISSUES AT THE TIME OF THE MALFUNCTIONS, AND THEY HAD ADVISED ME THAT THEY CAN ONLY REPAIR THE PROBLEM AT MY EXPENSE SINCE THE WARRANTY HAS SINCE RUN OUT. (NEEDLESS TO SAY, I REALLY DON''T UNDERSTAND THE DEALERSHIP''S POSITION ON THIS ISSUE CONCERNING THE PROBLEMS LEADING UP TO A TOTAL MALFUNCTIONING OF LOCKING/UNLOCKING SYSTEM, SINCE IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE AND WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM AT THEIR DEALERSHIP.) *TR

WHILE RELOCATING FROM MD TO TN (APPROX. 11 HOURS) IN JULY, TRAVELING THE INTERSTATE VEHICLE BEGAN LOSING ACCELERATION AFTER ABOUT 2 HOURS OF DRIVING. VEHICLE NEVER STOPPED NOT OVERHEATED. AFTER BRIEF RESTING PERIODS (15 MINS OR MORE), VEHICLE'S PERFORMANCE IMPROVED BUT NEVER RETURNED TO NORMAL. UPON ARRIVAL TO TN, VEHICLE WAS CHECKED FOR CLOGGED FUEL INJECTORS AND OIL/BATTERY LEVELS AND FUNCTIONS. ALL WERE FINE. CHANGED GAS FROM REGULAR TO PREMIUM TO MINIMIZE/CORRECT POSSIBLE PROBLEMS. A FEW WEEKS LATER, A 3 HOUR TRIP WAS TAKEN AND THE ISSUE RECURRED. TOOK THE CAR TO CARMAX WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND THEY TRIED TO RECREATE THE ISSUE AND HAD THE VEHICLE ALL DAY WITHOUT DUPLICATION. IN AUGUST, RELOCATED FROM TN TO GA, APPROXIMATELY A 3 HOUR TRIP, AND THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. TOOK THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR EVALUATION, CAR WAS THERE FOR ALMOST A MONTH AS THE ROOT CAUSE WAS A FAULTY TRANSMISSION SETTING THAT PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM ACCELERATING IF THE TRANSMISSION GOT TOO HOT. TURNS OUT THE SETTING WAS SO LOW THAT THE ABOVE-MENTIONED PROBLEMS OCCURRED. I ENDED UP HAVING TO HAVE A TRANSMISSION REPLACED IN A RELATIVELY NEW CAR (3 YRS OLD). *TR

TIRES
THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE AWL, PURSHCSED NEW FROM MAGUIRE NISSAN LEBANON, PA THE ORIGINAL TIRES ARE DUNLOP SP SPORTS 7000AS LINE SIZEP225/55R18/SL. THE VEHICLE UNDER 10,000 MILES PRODUCED A WHIPPING SOUND WHICH ALTERED IN PITCH WITH THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. THESE TIRES WERE ROTATED PER MANUFACUTES INSTRUCTION, ALIGNED AND BALANCED EVERY 5000 MILES. THE CAR WAS TAKEN BACK TO MAGUIRE NISSAN ON THREE OCCASSIONS AT WHICH TIME THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THE TIRES WERE DEFECTIVE . THE NISSAN CORPORATION WAS CONTACTED BY ME AND SO WAS DUNLOP TIRES. THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THREE OF THE TIRES SHOWED BUMPS ON THE TREAD SURFACE, BUT REFUSED TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR POOR MANUFACTURING QUALITY. THEY CLAIMED THE TIRES HAD NOT FAILED; THEREFORE, THEY HAD NO RESPONSIBILITIES TO REPLACE THESE TIRES. THE CAR HAS NOW DONE 33,000 MILES AND THE PROBLEM HAS PROGRESSIVELY WORSENED TO THE EXTENT THE NOISE FROM THE TIRES ARE DEAFENING AND RESULTS IN SEVERE STRAIN AND NOISE FATIGUE WHILE DRIVING. I RECENTLY HAD AN ESTIMATE TO REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES AND THE COST PER WAL MART WOULD BE $964. THE NTSB?S RECORD IN PURSUING THESE CORPORATE CRIMINALS AND ENSURING THE SAFETY OF THE MOTORING PUBLIC HAS AT BEST BEEN INDIFFERENT AND AT WORST COLLUSIVE AND COMPLICIT. DO PEOPLE RECALL THE TIRE FAILURES ON FORD EXPLORES, THE IGNITION SWITCHES DEBACLE IN GMC VEHICLES AND THE ACCELERATOR ISSUES WITH TOYOTA. LET US SEE IF YOU HAVE ANY TEETH OR ARE YOU THE TOOTHLESS WONDERS THAT THE PUBLIC HAVE NOW COME TO BELIEVE YOU ARE?

ENGINE
THIS INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED TWICE IN EXACTLY THE SAME MANNER: I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT; WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED, AND I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR, THERE WAS NO RESPONSE AS THE CAR ROLLED INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. I PUSHED SEVERAL TIMES AS TRAFFIC WAITED BEHIND ME. SUDDENLY IT "CAUGHT," THE POWER RETURNED, AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE (THE ENGINE DID NOT REV WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS PRESSED). LIKE OTHERS, I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED (AS ARE THOSE WHO COMMUTE WITH ME), ABOUT BEING CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION AND HIT BROAD-SIDED. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE ALSO HAS A PROBLEM WITH A BLINKING AIR-BAG WARNING LIGHT (BEGAN IN OCT.) WHICH WE TRIED TO HAVE FIXED AT THE SAME TIME. THE DEALERSHIP RESET IT, BUT UPON DRIVING OUT THE OF THE LOT, IT BEGAN BLINKING AGAIN. WE WERE TOLD IT WAS A "POSSIBLE INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH AIR BAG MODULE OR SPIRAL CABLE," AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR WHICH HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED YET. *TR

I WAS ON A TRIP TO SAN DIEGO (VIA THE 5 FWY) ON SATURDAY AND WHEN I AM ABOUT 1 1/2 HOUR INTO MY TRIP AND STARTED TO GO UP AN INCLINE THE CAR REFUSED TO ACCELERATE (THE PEDAL WAS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THIS WAS QUITE SCARY SINCE THERE WERE NUMEROUS CARS AND TRUCKS BEHIND ME. I SLOWLY MADE MY WAY OVER TO THE SHOULDER IN ORDER TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR I WAS ONLY ABLE TO ACCELERATE TO 20 MPH TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY. I EVEN TRIED PUTTING THE CAR INTO LOW GEAR AND TURNING OD ON AND OFF BUT THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND AT ALL. I THEN PULLER OVER FOR ABOUT 1/2 HOUR THEN RESTARTED THE CAR. NOW IT WAS RESPONDING TO ACCELERATION BUT THE RESPONSE WAD INTERMITTENTLY. THE CAR WASN'T DRIVING NORMAL AT ALL. THEN I FINALLY MADE IT TO MY DESTINATION WHERE THE CAR THEN SET FOR SEVERAL HOURS. WHEN I LEFT TO RETURN HOME THE CAR RETURNED TO ITS NORMAL BEHAVIOR RESPONSE. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2013 USED WITH 38000 MILES AFTER ABOUT 60000 MILES I NOTICED THAT AT A STOP LIGHT IT WOULD NOT GO WHEN I ACCELERATED AND AFTER A FEW SECONDS IT WOULD GO, THIS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES. THERE WAS NO WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE SO I PURCHASED A EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE NEXT INCIDENT WAS WHEN I WAS DRIVING ALL OF A SUDDEN THE RPM'S STARTED GOING REAL HIGH AND THEN THE CAR SLOWLY LOST POWE,R AT THIS TIME I HAD ABOUT 2000 MILES LEFT ON MY WARRANTY TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP WHERE THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG . I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WHICH BY NOW THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. THE CAR WAS GETTING TO THE POINT THAT WHEN IT HAPPENED I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO WAIT AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT WOULD GAIN POWER AGAIN, I THEN TOOK IT TO NISSAN WHERE THE TOLD ME IT WAS MY TRANSMISSION, I TOOK IT FOR A SECOND OPINION WHERE THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION WHICH THEY SAY IS CRAZING FOR AS LITTLE MILES AND BEING A SOME WHAT NEW CAR. IT COST ME 2600.00 COMPARED TO NISSAN WHICH WANTED 3800.00. THE PROBLEM I HAD WAS THAT I DRIVE ABOUT 84 MILES FROM HOME TO WORK AND IT STARED TO GET WHERE I COULDN'T TRUST THAT CAR. FROM WHAT I READ AND WAS TOLD FROM NISSAN IS THAT THE ALTAMA HAS VERY SIMILAR PROBLEMS TO WHERE THE SEE A CAR A DAY WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WHICH IS NOT RIGHT, WHY SHOULD WE CONSUMERS GET STUCK WITH COSTLY REPAIRS ON A FAIRLY NEW VEHICLE. MY CAR NEVER HAD A ENGINE LIGHT THAT CAME ON THEY ONLY WAY I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG IS WHEN THE RPM'S WENT REAL HIGH. *TR

VEHICLE WAS ON THE INTERSTATE( GOING HOME AFTER FAMILY VACATION) GOING 70 MPH WHEN WITHOUT WARNING THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, IN FACT THE CAR DROPPED DOWN SPEED RAPIDLY. AGAIN WITHOUT WARNING WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF FAST MOVING TRAFFIC AND COULD NOT GAIN SPEED. EVENTUALLY PULLING OVER, LETTING THE TRANSMISSION COOL OFF. THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CARS CVT TRANSMISSION AND ONCE IT OVERHEATS IT PUTS ITSELF INTO " LIMP MODE" SO IT DOESN'T KILL ITSELF?THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL THIS PART. I SPOKE TOT HE SERVICE TECHNICIAN AND HE SAYS THAT I NEED TO BRING IT IN TO DIAGNOSE IT EVEN THOUGH HE IS ABOUT 99% SURE THAT THIS IS THE PROBLEM AND THAT NISSAN WILL PAY TO FIX IT ( I THINK BY PUTTING IN A COOLER OR REPLACING THE TRANS) BUT THAT THERE ARE 15 VEHICLES AHEAD OF ME AT THE CURRENT MOMENT AND THE PARTS ARE BACKORDERED AT LEAST FOR 3 WEEKS. NISSAN FURTHER GOES TO SAY THAT A RENTAL CAR IS NOT AN OPTION?HOW IS THIS A CONSUMERS FAULT? HOW CAN NISSAN GET AWAY WITH THIS? I LIVE IN THE MOUNTAINS AND I CANNOT DRIVE THIS CAR AND BECAUSE NISSAN IS BACKED UP ON MAKING PARTS TO MAKE THEIR CARS WORK, THAT BECOMES MY PROBLEM? I HAVE ASKED FOR A REGIONAL SPECIALIST AND HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER BUT HAVE YET TO TALK TO ANYONE AND THIS IS NOW GOING ON FOUR DAYS. MEANWHILE I HAVE AN UNSAFE CAR THAT I CANNOT DRIVE AND PAY MONEY FOR EVERY MONTH. THIS PART NEEDS TO BE RECALLED SO OTHERS ARE INFORMED AND NO ONE IS CAUGHT OFF GUARD WHEN YOUR CAR SUDDENLY DOESN'T GO. *TR
