2014 Nissan Rogue Visibility Problems

Owner-reported complaints naming the visibility system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Visibility reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, I HEARD A POP LIKE A SHOTGUN SOUND. I LOOKED AROUND AND THEN IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR TO SEE SHARDS OF GLASS FLYING OFF MY CAR. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD TO INVESTIGATE AND SAW THAT THE FIRST PANEL OF THE SUNROOF EXPLODED FROM THE INSIDE OUT. I REMOVED THE GLASS I COULD TO PREVENT IT FROM BLOWING ONTO OTHER CARS AND THE HIGHWAY THEN CONTINUED TO MY HOME AND HAVE SINCE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY TO DETERMINE HOW TO REPAIR. *DSY

JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR 10/19/2017. WHILE DRIVING THE SIDE MIRRORS ' BLOCKS VISIBILITY OF ONOMING CARS ON DRIVER SIDE AND VIEW OF ROAD ON PASSENGER SIDE. WHEN LEAVING MY APARTMENT COMPLEX, I CONTINUOSLY RUN UP ON THE CURB ON THE DRIVER SIDE OR ONTO THE SIDEWALK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, DUE TO INABILITY TO SEE PAST THE MIRROR. THIS INABILITY TO SEE CAUSES ME TO MAKE RIGHT TURNS TOO WIDE AND A NEAR ACCIDENT DUE TO INABILITY TO SEE ONCOMING CAR AT A CERTTAIN ANGLE. THIS OCCURS WHEN ENTERING OR EXITING MY APARTMENT COMPLEX OR WHEN PARALLEL PARKING. SIDE DEFOGGER MIRRORS AND REAR DEFOGGER WINDOW ' RETAINS WATER SPOTS, INTERFERING WITH VISIBILITY.

SUNROOF EXPLOSION. MY WIFE DRIVING HER CAR LEFT HOME GARAGE, TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY 6 MILES. SHE HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION LIKE A GUNSHOT AND PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD THINKING A TIRE HAD BLOWN. AFTER DETERMINING THE TIRES WERE OK DISCOVERED A HOLE APPROXIMATELY 12 INCHES BY 8 INCHES OF JAGGED GLASS MISSING FROM RETRACTABLE SUNROOF. THE GLASS WAS CONTAINED BY THE SLIDING INSIDE SUN SHADE. THE WEATHER WAS 95 DEGREES AND CLEAR. THE CAR HAD NOT BEEN SITTING IN THE SUN. NISSAN DEALER REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AS A DEFECT OR WARRANTY ISSUE AND INSISTED SOMETHING HAD HIT THE SUNROOF ALTHOUGH THERE WERE NO VISIBLE RESULTS OF AN OBJECT HITTING IT. THE GLASS WAS CLEARLY POINTING OUT NOT INWARD TO INDICATE THE EXPLOSION WAS FROM THE INSIDE OUT AND NOT THE OPPOSITE. THE INTERNET DETAILS MANY EXAMPLES OF THIS INCLUDING A LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST KIA. UPDATE 9/15/15*CW NISSAN PAID FOR THE SUNROOF REPLACEMENT. UPDATED 01/15/16.*JB

THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED BEFORE HOWEVER THIS TIME IT CAUSED A DICEY SITUATION. WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE FRONT WINDSHIELD SUN VISOR SUDDENLY DROPPED FROM THE FORWARD UP POSITION (AGAINST THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WHERE IT WAS BLOCKING THE SUN) DOWN TO A VERTICAL POSITION WHERE IT SEVERELY BLOCKED THE FRONT VISIBILITY. IT WILL NOT RELIABLY STAY IN THE UP OR SUN BLOCKING POSITION; IT WILL STAY IN THE STORED OR BACK POSITION VERY SECURELY. THE TECHNICIAN AT HANLEES NISSAN SAID THE SITUATION WAS "NORMAL" AND THERE WAS NO AUTHORIZED MODIFICATION. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE UNEXPECTED LOSS OF SIGHT OF THE ROAD. *JS

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
