2017 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that after rolling down the front passenger’s side window, the window became inoperable and became stuck in the down position. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 168,000.

The forward collision warning light comes on intermittently. The brakes just lock up for no reason, this has happened at least 3 times.

I was driving to work and it was about 3 degrees and sleeting. I couldn’t keep my windshield from icing over because the heater was not working right. I get to work, finally, and when I leave work that day my heater was not blowing hot air very much. I make it home, later go to warm up my car and the heater doesn’t work at all. It wouldn’t blow and air. The blower or motor was froze. I call Nissan and the guy in the service department tells me he’s had a lot of calls about that. He said when it warms up it should start working. Sure enough a day later when the temperature goes up a little the blower starts working. Now it does not blow very hot. It was very dangerous driving to work and my windshield freezing over. It had never done that before.

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the vehicle lost power steering functionality and the steering wheel became difficult to turn. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to pull over and restart the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but no failure was found. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that the vehicle needed to be diagnosed. The failure mileage was 110,000.

On 12/16/22 while going through an overpass on a expressway/thruway, my 2017 Nissan Rogue automatic emergency braking system suddenly, erroneously and dangerously activated. Vehicle sustained body damage in the course of the sudden, with no reason, defective AEB/FEB engagement. Vehicle was limped off of the expressway/thruway and I called 911 and Triple A for transport to the dealer. I have since learned that Nissan has had thousands of complaints about this serious safety defect. Vehicle is currently at the Nissan dealer being inspected. I do not understand why a recall has not been issued as yet for this ongoing serious safety defect. It is also my understanding that Nissan has issued several corrective action "bulletins" on this matter but there is no real fix. The problem persists. I would never have purchased this vehicle if I had been made aware of the serious safety defect. CarFax Report at time of purchase and service documentation at the dealers do not show that the vehicle ever received any corrective action prior to my purchase of the vehicle in November 2020. I will never feel safe again in this vehicle. I and the occupants of my car on 12/16/22 are lucky to be alive. This serious incident could have resulted in all of our deaths on the expressway/thruway.

The contact owned a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that the driver seat failed to move forward or backward. In order to adjust the driver seat excessive force was required and was able to be adjusted after several attempts. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the unknown repair was performed however the driver seat was still not able to be adjusted up or down. The contact then stated that while their husband was driving approximately 60 - 70 mph, the instrument panel suddenly glitched and the vehicle failed to accelerate. It seemed like the vehicle was coasting only. The center computer began turning off and on. The vehicle self-corrected. Next, the front passenger side window failed to move up and down till the driver side window had been moved first. Later that same day, while their husband was driving (mileage unknown) the vehicle suddenly shut completely off. The driver waited a few minutes and was able to drive the vehicle back home where they parked the vehicle. After being parked for approximately an hour the contact was informed by the police that the vehicle had caught on fire and was extinguished by the fire department. A police report was filed. There were no injuries, no medical attention was needed and there was no damage. The vehicle had been towed to the insurance company to be evaluated. The vehicle was deemed totaled. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.

Was driving at night. No obstruction s in road (nor any railroad gates or anything Nissan has said in last) and car automatically started braking on main road. Luckily not many people were out and it didn’t cause any damage/accidents

Beginning of September 2022 the warning light for passenger side airbags came on. This error causes all airbags to shut off. I-95 Nissan said a new sensor was needed. I had to pay in full for part. They said part was back ordered. When I asked for a loaner car saying my car wasn’t safe I was told “It’s a safe car, just drive carefully ” and “Lots of cars on the road don’t have airbags”. Every week I was told no ETA for part. I took car to private mechanic who verified issue. Filed a report with Nissan corporation, they still have no ETA for part. It has been almost 3 months of no airbags and NO help from Nissan. This car is only 5 years old. This is unacceptable. The response from Nissan is negligent. I have no other option but to drive this car. I can’t afford a new car!

Passenger air bag light is on. Took to my local dealership for an oil change and for them to look/fix the warning light or air bag for the passenger side front seat bag. Told them I have mentioned the light coming on and off when my car was under warranty in the past. Was told by Nissan service person that they have no record of problem. They wanted over $600 for oil change, and fixing warning light (plus they said I needed all the fluids in my car changed). We don't have $600 plus for problem that should be fixed by Nissan. We left and did not have repairs done. I am worried that air bag won't deploy if there is an accident.

On 3 different occasions, emergency braking has been initiated with no object in front that can be struck. Vehicle has locked and unlocked while in transit with no explanation, dashboard quickly shows error then stops.
