2021 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

I went through a recent DDoS attack by a neighbor where they used signal boosting to spoof my key fob. From there, they were able to access the Intelligent Drive System, GPS and audio. On June 25th, the same criminals tracked me down through the GPS outside of Marshall TX and attmpted to hijack the vehicle. I had to call 911 and run for safety, it was terrifying. The entire day I could hear interference over the radio, this remained an issue for weeks. I took it to a Nissan Dealer to show them the mass amount of Malware that was installed, but was told I could just buy another car instead. To make matters worse, at one point in time, this group that hacked the vehicle, was able to alter my speed remotely. It is impossible to have anyone at Nissan take me seriously on this matter, yet you can see online that this is a known concern for this model specifically. I believe it is pertinent that Nissan review boot loader settings on these vehicles for a known fatal flaw that leaves the user vulnerable to these types of attacks, this could have caused me to crash several times and is downright scary that anyone with a little background could penetrate these systems so easily.

I purchased this vehicle new and started having issues with it at 3,000 miles. The screen freezes or just stops working, the HVAC system blows out 2 totally different temps even though it's "Synced" on the same temp. My blind spot warning is malfunctioning, the rear camera has stopped working and the rear tailgate fills with water, I was told I would need a whole new tailgate to fix that, I supposedly had the retractors replaced in my seatbelts and those still do not retract. The car has slammed on the brakes on the highway for no reason causing a burn on my neck, supposedly that recall was performed but I dont think it was. I have also caught Gandrud Nissan in an act of fraud once already regarding my vehicle being there for an entire week and them trying to say it was never there, and I believe they never performed these recalls or fixes, otherwise my seatbelts should work and my cameras would be working. This vehicle has given me nothing but issues since I bought it. I have video and paperwork to back this all up. When I asked to speak with the owner of Gandrud Nissan who has done all the work on my vehicle while under warranty, he refuses to call me back. I would like an investigation done to see if these parts have been replaced and the recall work was actually performed, I do not want Nissan notified until after another party has checked to see if the work was done.

I was driving forward and following another vehicle. It slammed on the brakes suddenly causing me to hit the back of the vehicle in front of me. I am supposed to have forward collision detection and automatic braking and neither one ever engaged to avoid the crash.

The contact owns a 2021 Nissan Rogue Sport. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, she exited the vehicle, walked toward her home, and noticed the vehicle was running. The contact went back to turn the vehicle off, and while reaching into the vehicle and pressing the start-to-stop button, the vehicle reversed, rolled back, and ran her over. The vehicle continued to roll and crashed into a fence. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact sustained injuries, including a fractured rib, a fractured back, and a collapsed lung. Medical attention was provided at the hospital. There was no reported fire or air bag deployment. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to an unknown local dealer, where it was diagnosed that there was a computer glitch. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 14,779.

Tue 10/17/23...power steering assist failed...steering locked up while exiting my driveway. Had vehicle towed to Sutherlin Nissan 8125 E. Colonial Dr. Orl FL 32817. They repaired vehicle and I picked it up Fri 10/20/23. They claimed this was an anomaly and would never happen again. Thu 10/26/23 steering kept locking up and releasing...steering light on dashboard kept going on/off. Had vehicle towed to Sutherlin Nissan. They claimed they found nothing wrong and returned vehicle to me. Tue 10/31/23 felt steering acting when parking...drove around building complex and parked several times...felt nothing. Thu 11/2/23 after making a left turn while driving steering locked up causing me to lose control and end up diagonally across middle of road narrowly missing another vehicle. driver of other vehicle came to my assistance and thought I had a medical episode and wanted to call 911. I had to fight the steering to get it out of the middle of the road. She then thought I was under the "influence". I had to have her check the steering to convince I was not. She then remarked that I should not be driving a "defective" vehicle on the road which can easily cause an accident resulting in serious injury or even death to myself and /or other motorists. Had vehicle towed to Sutherlin Nissan. Fri 11/3/23 went to Sutherlin and told them I would not be driving the said vehicle again and like to turn it in under the "Lemon Law"......they refused.....I am here wondering what should be my next course of action. I still owe the Bank and am responsible for the payments/balance.... they have possession of the vehicle.. and I am without transportation. I am suspecting that the vehicle might have some history of steering problems with a previous owner and asked them to show me the previous service history...but they refused.

Left and right rear wheel well rubber weatherstrip moldings have fallen off twice. The piece comes off at highway speeds with the mounting screw exposed. Recently, in a rain storm, the vehicle became momentarily unstable as the right side molding came off and was run over. Fortunately, the screw did not cause a tire puncture. I have noticed the weatherstrip missing on numerous Nissan Rogue's indicating that this is a common occurrence. Dealer has fixed as warranty issue both times. Reported to manufacturer as complaint.

Strong gas smell after car has been idled or parked for more than 5 minutes or so. If I turn the car off and start it again within the hour, the fumes are worse. Car has been maintenance according to schedule and passed Multipoint Safety Check on 10/2/2023. I am concerned both about the health risk of inhaling fumes, as I drive many hours per day. I have noticed dizziness, nausea, and headaches days that I am in and out of the car more. I am also concerned about the risk of a fire ensuing due to the strong fumes. I am anxious every time I turn the car on hoping that no malfunctions occur.

July 2022 while driving 70 mph on a highway in the middle lane (between tractor trailers) my dash flashed “Malfunction Service Now” I went to get over as the car was decelerating — the dash was lit but the gas pedal had no communication with the drive train. It was a close call bearly made it to the shoulder. Had to be towed. The dealer said the ECM ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE wasn’t clipped correctly and lost communication. December 2022 while my husband was driving it happened again. Sudden with no warning as we were about to cross the inter coastal by us….glided to the last patch of grass before a bridge at night -would have left us on a dark bridge and no where to go- no doubt that for the second time our lives would have been in danger. We were told the ECM from the first incident was arching and burned out the ECM so it was replaced….repaired not fixed!, August 2023 on a side road with nothing around it happened yet again! We had to be towed for the third time and luckily were able to glide to a semi-shoulder. Left stranded, hard to find a ride as the tow truck driver couldn’t give us a ride finally found someone to get us. A two year old car, mind you that this started at 15 month ownership of this Nissan Rogue, should NOT put peoples lives in danger!!! never a warning before these events. My husband could be filing a wrongful death suit and the kids the same when we were both in the car! Not a safe vehicle and the Rogue Facebook page shows many many owners with this same issue. Something needs to be addressed before there is a death! We gave the car back to the dealer. All paperwork is in the computer system. Something needs to be done! *****Please note all the work was done by Nissan and is available in the computer. I am out of state and don’t have the papers with me. This needs to be investigated and I don’t want to wait to file this complaint******

On September 1, 2023, I was headed north on I-95 in North Carolina. I was involved in a 3 car pileup where the Automatic Emergency Braking and Forward Collision Warning on my 2021 Nissan Rogue failed to activate. My vehicle had ADAS but almost killed my mother and me since they did not work. The car was totaled and the State Trooper wrongfully cited me for failure to reduce speed even though my foot was firmly on the brakes. The airbags were severed during impact and failed to deploy.

Intermittent problems with the automatic transmission requiring stopping the vehicle, oft times in traffic, to restart the engine. All too often multiple restarts are required before the transmission works properly. It's a daily problem that occurs at the initial start and after coming to a traffic light. Nissan auto shops have not been able rectify the problem.
