Nissian refused to fix this problem, even though it occurs on hundreds of cars made in Korea I believe it is a safety problem and indicates a false temperature reading but am not sure. please read letter i sent them Case #[XXX] Note only cars beginning vin with KN are affected INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
We have had a gas smell in our garage, outside the car and inside the cabin and inside our house since 2022 and the service technician confirmed it but said I'd have to pay $160 for them to diagnose it plus parts and labor to fix it. There are lots of "Nissan Rogue gas smell in cabin" complaints AND there is a class action lawsuit filed on the 2020-2023 models. I've seen the same complaints as far back as 2009 so they have been alerted and know about this faulty assembly problem for years and have not taken responsibility for fixing it. We've gotten used to it and a neighbor came over yesterday and said he was getting nauseated from the smell in our living area so I put it out in driveway and this a.m. it wasn't as bad. It's a health and fire hazard and we have gas stove. I'm not sure if local TV Action Reporter could get anything done or if we should hire a lawyer. People walking up to my car exclaim "I smell gas!" No warnings on dash. It seems to be faulty assembly of fuel line to tank or in that area as it's strongest in back seat. My wife has MGUS, arthritis and other medical problems and this is causing a lot of mental stress worrying that the car will catch on fire while we're in it! I will Never buy another Nissan now that I see that they don't care what happens once you buy it! Please answer asap as we use it everyday and don't want cancer, etc. from inhaling gas fumes. Purely breathing the fumes (gasoline inhalation) can result in the following symptoms: coughing and other breathing difficulties, headaches/dizziness, heart failure, and more. Because of how the hydrocarbons attack the nervous system, a wide range of symptoms is possible, but they can all eventually be deadly.
LOST POWER AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND HAD IT SCANNED AT AUTOZONE W AS TOLD IT WAS A FUEL SENSOR RAN CODE P0181
VEHICLE TRANSMISSION STUTTERS AND STRUGGLES TO SHIFT IN HIGHER GEARS. OCCASIONALLY KNOCKS. THE TRANSFER CASE WAS FAULTY 3 MONTHS AGO AND BROKE/FELL APART WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE ALMOST LOST CONTROL AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE TRANSFER ARM HAD SNAPPED. THE TRANSMISSION STILL MAKES THE SAME HEAVY KNOCKING AND OCCASIONALLY 'SLIPS' AS THE CVT TRANSMISSION HESITATES TO SHIFT. THE VEHICLE HAS VERY SLOW ACCELERATION BECAUSE OF THIS AND EVEN WHEN ACCELERATING AT A SLOW SPEED LIKE FROM A STOP SIGN THE TIRES WILL JUMP AS IF THE AXLES ARE MOVING FASTER OR SLOWER THAN THE TRANSMISSION IS FIRING.
WHILE TRAVELING AT 35 MPH ON A CITY STREET THE CRASH AVOIDANCE SYSTEM STARTED BEEPING, THE DASH DISPLAYED WARNING ICON AND THE VEHICLE BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGED WITH NO OBSTRUCTION ANYWHERE NEAR THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. ENGAGEMENT WAS BRIEF < 2 SECONDS AND TAPPING THE BRAKE PEDAL CLEARED ISSUE.
CVT. RPMS RISING AND FALLING WITHOUT DRIVER INPUT, WITHOUT ANY REASON. THIS IS A MAJOR HAZARD! CAR FAILS TO RESPOND TO GAS PEDAL, CAUSING SERIOUS HAZARDOUS ISSUES ENTERING TRAFFIC. CAR LOSES POWER ON HIGHWAY. THIS IS NOT SAFE!
