--This vehicle had a serious problem with the Roof Wiring Harness that, according to the dealer, could have caused a fire. Attached is a copy of invoice 258752: Cost to repair was $1,952.06. The initial symptoms were malfunctioning map and visor vanity lights and they first appeared about March 2024 --This exact same problem was the subject of a recall for 2017 Rogues. However, for some reason, the recall did not extend to the "Sport" models. Since this was the exact same dangerous condition that resulted in a recall and repaired at no cost that was covered by the recall, the recall should be extended to the "Sport" model. I also wanted to alert you to problem that probably exits in all "Sport" model that could also endanger the owners of those vehicle. --I contacted Nissan (case #51188260) on April 24, 2024 and they denied our claim for reimbursement since the "Sport" model was not included in the recall. Clearlyly, all Nissan Rogue models should have been covered by the recall --The initial symptoms were malfunctioning map and vanity lights which appeared in March, 2024.

Every day when I turn on my car my dash screen doesn’t work. There’s no back up camera, radio, nothing. I have to either wait five minutes or stop the car and manually reboot the system.

My Rogue Sport has less than 35k mileage. While I was driving yesterday my radio sputtered then the whole screen (radio, backup camera, clock) went completely dark and a large amount of smoke came from in the cabin of the vehicle and the smell of electrical burning. I immediately pulled over thinking the whole car was going to catch on fire, turned the radio to the off position and rolled down the windows. I waited approximately 5 minutes and thought if it was going to catch fire it would have done so. The smoke took a long time to dissipate and the smell of electrical is still in my car. There was no warning. I will be scheduling an appointment with the dealer to try and get additional details. Prior to this there was no indication there was a problem.

The cooling fan for my 2017 Nissan Rogue is defective. The repair shop said there are 2 to three month backlogs to replace the defective fans in the Rogue model because the initial version of the fan as defective (apparently here are 100os of Rogues broken down waiting for the new version of the fan). This is a safety issue as well as a product defect issue as a vehicle breakdown in traffic is possible due to this defect. The defective fans are still being sold on the market and Nissan is not acknowledging the problem.

IN THIS Report: On my vehicle, the cooling fan assembly completely went out without warning, and when i seen the temp gauge starting to climb to the hot, i immediately shut the engine off. Bobb's Automotive checked it out and stated that the cooling fan faulted out. This auto repair shop also stated that the actual whole system faulted out on over 150+ other vehicles acrossed the country. And with this being said: Nissan is AWARE OF THE FAULTY SYSTEMS. they are in the process of Totally Redesigning of the Cooling Fan System. I further found out that Nissan is not covering the cost of the part, nor are they IMPOSING A RECALL ON THESE FAULTY COOLING FAN SYSTEMS. AT THIS POINT, MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP ON THE ACCOUNT OF NO COOLING FANS AVAILABLE IN THE USA. BUT AT THE SAME TIME NISSAN INFACT IS ADMITTING GUILT AT THIS TIME, BUT NOT ISSUING A RECALL . SOMTHING SHOULD BE DONE TO WARN OTHER NISSAN VEHICLE OWNERS BEFORE THEY EXPERIANCE THE SAME ISSUE, AND WHICH THEY MAY ALREADY HAVE, BUT HAS YET BEEN REPORTED. PLUS MY OPPINION IS THIS, .....IF THEY ARE TOTALLY REDESIGNING THE COOLING FAN SYSTEM, THERE IS A REASON...THEY KNOW THE ISSUE AND STILL WANT TO PASS THESE FAULTY COOLING FANS OFF ON THEIR VEHICLES.

The cooling fan supposedly has failed.The car is certified preowned,but of course this component is not covered.The car has been towed to Middletown Nissan in NY.We have been told the fan is on back order and they have had the car for three weeks now.My issue is they tell me there is Three other vehicles ahead of ours also waiting on a fan.when I inquired with another Nissan dealer(Thruway Nissan) about the price of the fan ($420)I was told that it would be on back order and there was 3 other cars ahead of mine waiting on these fans.This car has 35,000 miles on it.It seems awefully suspicious that 7 cars only 4 years old had these fans fail within a 40 mile radius.Should'nt someone question if this should be investigated for a recall?This was quoted as an $880 job.

STARTING AROUND 26,000 MILES, THIS NEW TO US SUV STARTED TO GLITCH IN THE ELECTRONICS. THE AIR WILL TURN HOT, THE RADIO WILL TURN OFF, THEN THE AIR BAG LIGHTS FLICKER, THEN IT STATES THAT THE VEHICLE IS OVERHEATING(EVERY PHYSICAL EXAMINATION INDICATES IT IS NOT). YOU CAN TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND ONE TIME IT WON'T GLITCH AND THE NEXT TIME IT WILL. IF YOU LEAVE THE VEHICLE RUNNING FOR TOO LONG, IT BEHINS TO GLITCH MORE AND MORE. TO THE POINT WHERE IF WE WERE TO DRIVE A LONG DISTANCE I AM AFRAID IT COULD TURN THE VEHICLE OFF WHILE DRIVING. WE ARE TRYING TO GET A SERVICE CENTER TO DUPLICATE. IF YOU HAVE THIS YEAR MODEL AND NOTICE YOUR AIR FEEL A BIT WARM AND RADIO GO IN AND OUT, WATCH YOUR HEAT GAGE, THAT IS HOW IT STARTS TO MESS UP.
