Last week - while I was driving the power steering went midway - I had to swerve from an on coming car and it took both me and my step father to gain control . I took it to a mechanic and He noted it was the power steering motor was defective and needed to be replaced . I bought this car on or about 2019 or 2020 and it only has 34, 000 miles - should be noted after a heavey 3 day rain this problem occured . I called Nissan and because of the recall they told us to drive it to Nissan which is a distance away - only to address the recall. I noted to them that the car was in a state "Not safe to drive " - I got an email from them proof of ownership - and they wanted us to pay for tow for diagnosis ? The motor obviously is effected from this recall - or it should be listed. I made several phone calls to Nissan USA - and emails . NO avail . this is dangerous and costly repair 2400 dollar estimate repair. Thank you Joseph Kelley [email protected] Joseph Kelley or Rebecca fitzgerald
Fuel gauge wasnt reading that the car was filled up. Then security lights came on in the car. Once the car was turned off, the steering wheel wouldnt lock and the car refused to start. Then random lights came on on the dashboard. You could shift the vehicle out of park and move it. The entire security system was malfunctioning. Vehicle was towed to nearest Nissan dealership in Bloomington, Indiana (where the car broke down). Nissan states it is the Body Control Module (BCM) and that they would not cover it. It is available for inspection at Community Nissan in Bloomington, Indiana. I felt our lives and the lives of others on the road could have been at risk if the vehicle decided to just shut off while we were driving, causing us to lose all power and crash into other drivers on the road.
When making a left turn the car lost power and the steering wheel jerked to the right (it was all split second). It regained power right after losing power. Also a few days before the steering lost power, my radio went off and came back on right after...like it rebooted itself automatically. The radio has done this a few times. I'm VERY afraid and concerned that my car will catch on fire one day.
Saturday 08/06/2022 my 2016 Nissan Rogue caught fire as I was driving down a side street in Adrian, MI. 49221. Lights came on on my dash, it appeared to be every warning light, the car jerked me over as if I lost power steering and the car took over, my son and I could smell something hot. I put the vehicle in park as flames were coming from the engine compartment, my son was able to open his door and get out, my driver side door would not open and I had to climb out the driver side window! The fire department was called and after they were able to put out the fire as I watched my car literally melting, they told me it was an electrical fire. My car was then towed to Clift Buick GMC in Adrian, Michigan.
I have a 2016 Nissan Rogue and my steering wheel was making a squeaking noise when turning… then was told it was the backing plate… then the tailgate door button doesn’t work. My navigation touchscreen doesn’t work. I get a burning wire smell in the car and my leg area gets really hot, as if I have the heater on. When I go over 45 the car shakes more like vibrating feeling when I press the brakes.. when someone get in or out my key alarm goes off saying no key in car.. please help I just got this car in December
When using the vehicle air system, I will have window malfunctions, wiper malfunctions, and battery malfunctions, while driving. My car has shut off while driving because of the recall. I need a resolution as this is incredibly dangerous.

Engine unexpectedly stalls/stops under power. Along with power steering and brakes. Engine sensors were replaced by dealership. Condition persists and confirmed by dealership. Dealership maintains this is an engine wiring harness issue that shorts out under certain conditions. While engine was operating, dealership was able to cause engine to stop. Cautioned me to get wiring harness replaced, as it could present a safety issue or accident. Check engine lie went on as did the traction control light in each case after they were reset. I am taking vehicle to another service center to evaluate. Estimate was $3,402 to replace engine harness, plus it was $750 to replace sensors, Vehicle has 55,000 miles on it.

THE CAR ALWAYS SEEM TO FEEL AS IF IT NEEDED A WHEEL ALIGNMENT. I UNDERSTAND IT NEEDS A CONTROL ARM, WHICH WAS NEVER FIXED BACK IN 2019 WHEN I BROUGHT IT. THE CAR MIGHT HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE I BROUGHT IT... I DIDN'T HAVE ANY ACCIDENTS WITH THIS CAR.

THE BACK TRUNK WHEN OPENING HAS A HORRIBLE SCREECHING NOISE AND IS NOT SMOOTH OPENING. JUST BOUGHT THIS AS A USED CAR SO I'M SURE NOT IF I MISSED A PRIOR RECALL. ALSO THE STEERING WHEN I TURN THE WHEEL AT A SLOW SPEED MAKES A LOW GROANING NOISE
MY VEHICLE SHOT DOWN AT A STOP LIGHT. AFTER RESTARTING IT THREE TIMES, IT STARTED. THEN A FEW YARDS AWAY I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN AND AS I DID THE VEHICLE PULLED ACROSS THE ROAD TO THE LEFT LANE. I THEN REGAINED CONTROL OF IT.
5,000 MILES. WHEN YOU TURN STEERING WHEEL I FEEL VIBRATIONS AT MY FEET THAT CORRESPOND TO THE DIRECT ACTION OF THE TURNING WHEEL. THIS HAPPENS DRIVING AND STILL. CAR HAS BEEN TO DEALOR 4 TIMES, AND WAS INSPECTED BY NISSAN CORPORATE. AT THE TIME CORPORATE CHECKED VEHICLE IT WAS NOT MAKING THE COMPLAINT. THEY REPLACED SOME PARTS - BOOT PREVIOUSLY WHICH ONLY FIXED FOR A FEW WEEKS. THE FEELING IS ESPECIALLY DETECTABLE WHERE YOU WOULD NORMALLY PUT YOUR LEFT FOOT. DRIVING STRAIGHT DOES NOT MAKE THE FEELING HAPPEN.
BRAND NEW 2016 ROGUE PURCHASED 12/29/2016 AFTER HAVING FOR 24 HOURS IT BECAME OBVIOUS THERE WAS A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL AS WELL AS THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS. THIS OCCURS IMMEDIATELY AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN REVERSE OR PARK AS WELL AS WHEN DRIVING. IT IS NOT A STRONG SHAKING BUT A CONSTANT VIBRATION AND AFTER DRIVING FOR A PERIOD OF TIME BEGINS TO IRRITATE MY HANDS. THE DEALER AND SERVICE MANAGER SAID IT IS NORMAL AND THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR
WHEN FIRST ACCELERATING AND BEGINS TO TURN VEHICLE MAKES CLACKING / KNOCKING NOISE. THE SERVICE CENTER MANAGER TOLD ME THAT MY CAR IS THE SECOND WITH THIS PROBLEM. THE SALES PERSON TOLD ME THAT MORE THAN 35 ( MADE IN KOREA) SOLD BY HIM ( OR IN THAT DEALER) HAVE THE SAME SITUATION. UNTIL NOW NISSAN DOES'NT HAVE A SOLUTION...!!! THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED SINCE THE FIRST DAY ...8 MILES...
WHEN TURNING THE VEHICLE WHILE PARKING IT MAKES A CLICKING NOISE. THE NOISE CAN ALSO BE FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL. IT STARTED 2 WEEKS AFTER WE PURCHASED IT. IT'S SIMILAR TO A BROKEN CV JOINT NOISE. THIS IS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE AND THE DEALER STATED "WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO REPAIR IT, BUT IT'S SAVE TO DRIVE." IF ONE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT IT IS, HOW CAN THEY SAY IT'S SAFE TO DRIVE? I'VE CONTACTED NISSAN'S CONSUMER COMPLAINT LINE AND THEY'RE STICKING WITH THE SAME NARRATIVE.

I BOUGHT MY NISSAN ROGUE JUNE 25, 2016 AND TWO WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE IT BEGAN TO MAKE A CLICKING NOISE AT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL OR STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT BUT THEY CANNOT TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG AND THEY HAVE STATED THAT ITS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NISSAN NORTH AMERICA AND THAT I WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL NISSAN NORTH AMERICA GIVES THEM DIRECTION ON HOW TO FIX IT. I HAVE CONTACTED CONSUMER'S AFFAIRS AND NISSAN NORTH AMERICA AND AM AWAITING A CALL BACK FROM THEM AS WELL. EVERY TIME I TURN LEFT OR RIGHT THERE IS A CLICKING NOISE WHICH CAN BE HEARD FROM THE BACK AND PASSENGER SIDE. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 800 MILES ON IT WHEN THE NOISE STARTED.
