ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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 road trip, my husband finally witnessed this happening. It usually only happened to me when I’m coming home sitting in traffic. When I got off the freeway to surface streets, being stuck at stoplights or stop signs had this issue occur a couple of times. I took my vehicle to my local Nissan dealer for inspection but the tech. said they couldn’t mimic/reproduce the problem/issue I was reporting. No other inspection has been made. And no warning lights came on during the problem the few times it has happened. The engine was really loud this most recent time because I was unable to stop and pullover right away. I am open to having my vehicle inspected further for this issue.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
My key fob barely works,the red key indicator comes on every few streets. I went for oil change & tune up,they informed me back brake light,passenger side didn't work. Got recall inspection/ repair & wasn't informed of anything wrong. Not to mention I've topped of ac charge twice in one month. There's clearly an issue of fire hazard with the Rogues.I make too many on time payments to be played for an idiot. Also,I shouldn't have to pay a new car price for repairs.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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 driving during a recent California rain storm (which we hadn't had in a few years). I was on the freeway when the front windshield fogged up and since the HVAC controls the defrosting ability the car was unable to defrost the front windshield. I suddenly had 0 visibility while driving on the freeway and I almost crashed! I had to very carefully pull all the way over without the ability to see. I told Nissan Consumer Affairs about this and they still refuse to deal with the situation. It's a very common problem (if you research it online) and should be part of a Nissan recall before someone dies in a crash.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Nissan has a flaw in their door blend actuators in which over time the actuator motor that turns the HVAC flap gets worn out by the turning of the actuator. Overtime the hole in which the actuator goes into gets worn out, which disables the flap to work properly. This is an issue because in my case, I cannot utilize my defroster or even see under cold conditions if the flap cannot distribute cold air. I am forced to pay 5 grande to fix something that is a necessity. I need to see when driving down the road. Nissan should do something to fix this issue on rouge models of 2015 to current ones.

AIR BAGS
Drove my car normally to work and home that day. Upon starting it up in the evening, the red airbag light turned on and began flashing as soon as the key was in the ignition. I read the manual, tried to reset the warning light by unhooking the battery. Airbag light continues to flash on the drivers side. The owners' manual says this means the airbag is faulty and will not deploy in a crash. This vehicle has NEVER had the airbags deploy or been in a crash significant enough for the airbags to deploy. I called the local dealership on 2/16/23 and they reported no recalls. They said it is probably a sensor not under warranty and repairs would be $2000. I do not have the money to have this repaired. My life safety is at risk.

On approximately October 24, 2022, my 2015 Nissan Rogue Select began having transmission trouble. Specifically, it was lurching and making a grinding noise between first and second gears. It is an automatic so it would actually be between 1200 and 1600 rpms. The local dealership stated there was a recall/extended warranty and placed my vehicle in their shop initially for 15 days between October 27, 2022 and November 10, 2022. The did not offer me a rental vehicle, nor did they fix my vehicle properly. On November 12, 2022, my vehicle leaked out all of the transmission fluid onto my garage floor, creating a hazardous materials incident, which I incurred fees to have properly cleaned up, and had to be towed BACK to Nissan of Bradenton in Manatee County Florida where it remained until November 17, 2022. I have put Nissan North America and Nissan of Bradenton on notice that the vehicle is still performing poorly and exhibiting a safety hazard to myself, my passengers and other vehicles on the road when it lurches out of first and second gear. My vehicle was not able to be used or driven for a total of twenty one (21) days during the calendar year 2022. I consider this significant under the Consumer Protection Act and Florida Lemon Law.

The airbag light comes on in the car screen, it was taken for inspection, as stated in the attached invoice and they told us that the entire airbag system had to be changed, it should be noted that the vehicle has never had no accident and we are worried because if we were to have an accident the airbags would not work. Thanks for your help.

Driver Airbag light started flashing. According to the vehicle manufacturer's manual, this indicator means the drivers' airbag will NOT deploy. The battery was unplugged and left in an attempt to reset. When key turned in ignition, the airbag light immediately started flashing again. I am the only owner of this vehicle. I bought it brand new and it has never been in an accident where the airbags have deployed. The vehicle has been garage kept for the duration of my ownership. I have not had any water damage, and I have not had any other electrical issues so far.

Nissan Rouge select transmission went in the span of 24 hours. One morning it wouldn’t accelerate past 20 mph, and the next morning it wouldn’t accelerate at all. There were no check engine lights or any other indication that there was a problem before it died, or even after it died. I was told that this model of Nissan did not come standard with a transmission cooling unit as, “Nissan didn’t think they were necessary on a few models of the Rouge, including this one.” Because of this, I needed to get my car towed to Middletown Nissan, where I was told the cost of repairs, tax and labor would cost approximately $4000, and $5000 with the addition of a cooling unit. The day repairs were to be completed, I got a call as I was on my way to the dealership that there was an error in calculation of labor costs, and Nissan wanted to charge me $8700. They ‘lowered the price’ to $6300, and at this point I had been without a car for a week and it was impacting my wife and my ability to work, and my preschool age daughter to go to school(of which i also pay for)
