STRUCTURE, VISIBILITY
I WANT TO PREVENT ANY ACCIDENTS FROM HAPPENING. I HAVE A NISSAN ROGUE, BOUGHT ON 12TH JUNE 2014. WHEN I MAKE A RIGHT TURN I CANNOT SEE THE FRONT RIGHT CORNER, BECAUSE OF THE RIGHT SIDE MIRROR COMPLETELY BLOCKING THE VIEW OF RIGHT CORNER OBJECT. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE PEDESTRIANS ON THE SIDE. MOST OF THE VEHICLES HAVE A SMALL GLASS WINDOW BY THE MIRROR OR THERE IS A GAP BETWEEN THE VEHICLE'S BODY AND THE MIRROR. SOMETIMES I HAVE TO GET UP FROM THE SEAT TO CHECK THE RIGHT CORNER WHEN MAKING A RIGHT TURN. I ALMOST RAN OVER TWO PEDESTRIANS. I THINK THERE IS A DEFECT AND I AM CONCERNED THAT I WILL RUN OVER SOMEONE CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT. HOPING TO SEE A RESOLUTION TO PREVENT ANY ACCIDENTS FROM HAPPENING. THANK YOU *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ENGINE, SERVICE BRAKES
I HAD A SEVERE ACCIDENT WITH MY 2014 NISSAN ROGUE AWD WHICH ALMOST KILLED ME AND MY ENTIRE FAMILY. IT WAS A MIRACLE THAT WE ARE ALIVE. HOWEVER MY WIFE HAS SOME INJURY ON THE NECK....UPDATED 10/20/14 *BF ON 9/28 EARLY MORNING, WE WERE DRIVING (IN MIDDLE LANE) ON FREEWAY (I-5 - SOUTHBOUND) AT A NORMAL SPEED AND ALL OF SUDDEN I HEARD A BIG SOUND IN THE FRONT OF THE CAR. I WAS ALERT BUT BEFORE I COULD REACT, THE NEXT MOMENT MY CAR ROLLED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THEN UPSIDE DOWN (ON THE FRONT HOOD AND FRONT PART OF THE ROOF) AND GOT DRAGGED AND AT THE SAME TIME TURNED. FINALLY THE BACK OF MY CAR HIT THE CURB WITH FULL FORCE AND THEN IT RESTED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE (BETWEEN EXIT 109 AND 108) BUT NOW IT WAS FACING NORTHBOUND. I BROKE THE WINDSHIELD TO COME OUT AND WITH THE HELP FROM PASSERSBY; I COULD SAFELY BRING MY WIFE AND 3 YEAR OLD OUT OF THE CAR. ALL THESE HAPPENED SO QUICKLY BUT I REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED AS I DID NOT BLACKOUT. NEITHER MY CAR HIT ANY OTHER CAR NOR DID ANYTHING HIT MY CAR. AND LUCKILY THERE WAS NO TRUCK OR CAR FOLLOWING US. IT'S A BRAND NEW 2014 NISSAN ROGUE WHICH I BOUGHT IN JAN 2014. I STILL CANNOT UNDERSTAND HOW COME SUCH A SERIOUS FAILURE COULD OCCUR. THE VEHICLE IS NOW TOTALED AND I HAVE LOGGED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN BUT I AM STILL WAITING FOR A REPLY. I WANT THIS TO BE INVESTIGATED AS I DO NOT WANT OTHER FAMILIES TO EXPERIENCE WHAT WE HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH. UPDATED 05/21/2015 *JS

STRUCTURE:BODY, AIR BAGS
I WAS DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC TAKING MY WIFE TO WORK. I WAS GOING ABOUT 15 TO 20 MPH BECAUSE OF MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IN CHICAGO IS HEAVY. I TURNED MY HEAD TO ANSWER MY WIFE AND BEING DISTRACTED I TURNED MY HEAD BACK AND SAW THE BIG SUV IN FRONT OF ME WAS STOPPED AND I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND SLID INTO THE REAR OF HIS SUV. ONLY A SMALL DING AND SCRATCH I SEEN AND MY CAR HAD THE BUMPER BROKEN, HOOD BENT UP, CRINKLES IN SIDE FENDERS. EVEN THE POLICE COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW THE CAR WAS ALL DAMAGED AT THAT TYPE SPEEDS AND NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. ANYWAY I WAS TOLD PROBABLY I WAS GOING TOO SLOW AND SLID INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT AND MAYBE THERE IS A CERTAIN FORCE TO MAKE THEM BLOW OFF. I GOT A LITTLE OVER $5000 DAMAGE. LIKE THE CAR IS AS THIN AS A POP CAN AND NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE BODY SHOP WHEN THEY REPAIR IT IS GOING TO CHECK THE AIR BAG SYSTEM... I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY CLAIM A SUPERVISOR WILL BE CALLING ME BACK IN A FEW DAYS... *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
OPERATOR ENGAGED IN LOW SPEED PARKING MANEUVER. CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, JUMPED CURB AND STRUCK TREE. DRIVER SLIGHTLY INJURED LEFT WRIST REQUIRING X-RAYS. NO BONES FRACTURED. I ORDERED READING OF EDR DATA. WAS FIRST TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT NO EDR WAS INSTALLED IN MY VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH THE MANUAL ISSUED WITH THE VEHICLE CLEARLY STATED THERE WAS. NISSAN NORTH AMERICA SENT TECHNICIAN TO EXTRACT DATA. BY THE TIME IT WAS DONE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL HARNESS HAD BEEN REMOVED AND REPLACED. REPRESENTATIVE OF NISSAN NORTH AMERICA CLAIMED DATA WAS EXTRACTED AND THAT THEIR INTERPRETATION OF THE DATA INDICATED NO CULPABILITY ON THEIR PART FOR ACCIDENT. REFUSED TO SHARE ACTUAL DATA WITH ME SINCE FLORIDA HAS NO LEGISLATION DEALING WITH OWNERSHIP OF SUCH DATA. I CONSIDER THEIR INTERPRETATION TO BE INCONCLUSIVE SINCE I HAVE WAY OF KNOWING THE ALL OF THE ELEMENTS REQUIRED BY NHTSA FOR INTERPRETATION WAS ACTUALLY EXTRACTED. *TR

SEAT BELTS
RIGHT REAR SEAT BELT DISENGAGED FROM THE UPPER MOUNTING. WHEN THIS OCCURRED MY GRANDCHILD WAS IN HIS CAR SEAT, HE IS 7, THE SEAT BELT JUST FELL INTO HIS LAP. I WAS PREPARING BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, CAR WAS IN PARK. UPDATED 09/24/14*LJ WHEN WE RETURNED FROM A TRIP TOOK, 8-15, TOOK VEHICLE TO MY DEALER SERVICE TECH AND MGR. QUITE SURPRISED AS WERE A FEW OTHERS. THE BOLT THREADS WERE STRIPPED ABOUT 1/4" FROM THE END. BLAME WAS IMMEDIATELY PLACED ON MANUFACTURING QUALITY CONTROL AND I AGREE. NO ONE USED THE RIGHT REAR SEAT DURING OUR TRAVELS. HOWEVER I RECEIVED QUITE A FEW COMMENTS ON MY "LOOSE" SEAT BELT! NEW BELT ORDER PLACED SATURDAY 8-16, SO NO ANSWER TO,1) IS ONE IN STOCK AND 2) WHEN WILL IT ARRIVE?. SO UNTIL THE BELT ARRIVES I CANNOT TRANSPORT MY GRANDCHILDREN OR A MAXIMUM OF 2!, I HAVE 7 YEAR OLD TWINS. THE ROGUE IS 5 MONTHS OLD. OF COURSE MY CONCERN IS HOW MANY OTHER 2014 ROGUES ARE ON THE ROAD WITH THIS PROBLEM. WHAT IF I HAD AN ACCIDENT WITH MY GRANDCHILD OR ANOTHER PERSON IN THAT SEAT. ARE MY OTHER SEAT BELTS SECURELY MOUNTED? IT WILL BE HARD TO FEEL 100% SAFE IN THIS ROGUE. I AM SURE MY DEALER WILL CHECK OUT MY CONCERNS, BUT WHAT CAUSED THE BOLT TO STRIP AND THEN DISLODGE?

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I DROVE 10 MILES AND SHUT THE CAR OFF FOR AN HOUR THEN GOT BACK IN AND ENTERED THE FREEWAY TO GO HOME. I DROVE A COUPLE MILES AND LOST ACCELERATION. AT 70 MILES AN HOUR ON THE FREEWAY MY CAR WAS ACTIVELY DECELERATING WHILE I WAS PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL. I LET OFF NOT KNOWING WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND THE CAR SEEMED TO ACCELERATE SOME OR COASTED MORE FREELY. I STEPPED ON THE GAS AND THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AGAIN. I REPEATED THIS A COUPLE TIMES BEFORE DECIDING I HAD TO PUT HAZARDS ON AND PULL OVER. I AM SO GRATEFUL I DIDN'T GET REAR ENDED AS I HAD SLOWED DOWN RAPIDLY WITH OUT ANY BREAK LIGHTS TO WARN OTHERS. WHEN I PULLED OVER AND PUT IT IN PARK THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (MALFUNCTION LIGHT) AND ALSO THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON. IT WAS TOWED AND HELD OVERNIGHT UNTIL IT COULD BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP (APPARENTLY NOTHING CAN BE DROPPED OFF WHEN THEY ARE CLOSED). *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2014 NISSAN ROGUE HAS A POSSIBLE IGNITION SWITCH ISSUE. WHEN VEHICLE IGNITION SWITCH IS SHUT-OFF, ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS, RADIO, LIGHTS ETC., LOCKS FAIL TO EITHER SHUTDOWN COMPLETELY AND ELECTRIC LOCKS DISENGAGE. THIS MAY LEAD TO FURTHER ISSUE SUCH AS IN THE GM FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH ISSUE AND THE SUBSEQUENT LOSS OF LIFE. NISSAN COMPANY HAS BEEN TOLD, BUT FAIL TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ISSUE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE
ON SUNDAY JANUARY 11TH, 2014, MY FAMILY AND I WERE ON OUR WAY HOME. AFTER STOPPING AT A SERVICE STATION MY HUSBAND PULLED ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND WAS ACCELERATING TO THE APPROPRIATE SPEED AND THE CAR JUST GOT STUCK AT 6500 RPM'S AND 60 MPH. IT STAYED THAT WAY FOR ABOUT 5 MILES,WE COULD SLOW DOWN BUT THE RPM'S WERE STILL STUCK AT 6500 AND THE ENGINE WAS MAKING A HORRIBLE SOUND, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND SEVERAL TIMES WE HAD TO RIDE THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. WHEN WE FINALLY REACHED THE ROAD WE LIVE OFF OF MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND TURN WHILE TURNING THE AWFUL NOISE GOT A LITTLE LOWER BUT A NEW NOISE WAS HEARD, A WHINING SOUND. AFTER TURNING, THE CAR LOST ALL GAS, NOTHING HAPPENED WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS PUSHED AND THEN FINALLY IT STARTED TO GO AGAIN. WE ARRIVED AT OUR HOME MY HUSBAND OPENED THE HOOD AND TOLD ME TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR A LITTLE AND THEN HE SAW SMALL PUFFS OF SMOKE. I SMELLED SOMETHING LIKE BURNING RUBBER WHILE SITTING IN THE DRIVERS SEAT AND MY HUSBAND SAID HE SMELLED SOMETHING SWEET UNDER THE HOOD. THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW ON JANUARY 4TH, 2014, IT HAD 25 MILES WHEN PURCHASED. THE MILEAGE ON JANUARY 11TH WAS AROUND 500. THIS IS A DANGEROUS VEHICLE, I AM WAITING ON THE DEALERSHIP TO CALL AND LET ME KNOW WHAT THEY FIND. *TR
