2017 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

Airbag light stays on nissan said ocs passenger occupant sensor but my vin# dose not come up as a recall IT SHOULD

While driving, the housing for the light switches, microphone and sunglasses holder fell down and was swinging in the drivers line of vision.

My car had less the 30,000 mi on it. It 28,700mi at the time of incident. I bought it brand new in 2018. So this year my warranty expired in April 2021. In June my cooling fan went out and I had no a/c plus the car was not drivable due to it overheating. I’m in Idaho we were have 100-110 degree days here. I had no car for a month and a half because I was told that they don’t make the cooling fans anymore and the dealership couldn’t get ahold of one for that period of time. Meanwhile I lost my job we don’t have busses and I couldn’t get rides or afford ubers/ taxis everyday several times a day. It was awful. I know this issue has to be known to Nissan. Shouldn’t there have been a safety recall by now?!? Also at the exact same time as the cooling fan went out the fuel pump went out too! Now mind you this car was brand new is three years old with less then 30,000mi on it. So the warranty had expired three months prior they can’t get the part to replace it for 1 1/2months so I have no car during that time loose my job and have to foot the bill for replacing both the cooling fan and the fuel pump. Okay I believe this make, model, and year NEEDS to have a mandatory safety recall ASAP. For goodness sake look at how many people have had to replace their cooling fans on their car! That’s not OKAY. I Demand that something be done to fix this BEFORE someone’s car catches fire and someone ends up dying!

I drive a 2017 Nissan Rogue that has just under 65K miles on it as of today. Without a prior indication of a problem from the car's warning system, I suddenly began losing transmission power and experiencing significant engine hesitation while driving yesterday, August 23, 2021. Specifically, the car would hesitate at least 3 seconds and sometimes as long as 8 seconds before engaging, thus putting me in great danger in traffic and on public roads. Additionally, the engine would begin revving up from 1 to 4+ rpms while simply trying to maintain a speed of 40 mph. This caused me to constantly have to remove my foot entirely from the accelerator, further putting me in harm's way while in traffic on both residential and highway roads. I lost control of my vehicle. I immediately proceeded home as carefully as I could manage, stored the vehicle overnight in the garage, and took it to the dealership first thing in the morning. To my great surprise and disappointment, the Nissan adviser informed me that the diagnostic codes received were P0776 and P1715, both of which were addressed in previous Nissan Service Bulletins in both 2018 and 2021. Furthermore, these codes indicate specific issues with the CVT - something that has plagued Nissan for years and continues to be the center of many lawsuits and causes for extended warranty programs. In fact, I experienced CVT transmission failure in a 2015 Nissan Rogue that I owned previous to this one. My sister also experienced the same safety hazard in her Nissan Rogue. This is an ongoing and hugely unsafe problem. Currently, my vehicle is at the dealership, awaiting response from Nissan Corporation as to whether they will replace/fix at no cost, considering the blatant CVT issues and the fact that my powertrain warranty expired less than 5k miles ago and that several other models with the exact same issue have been granted extended warranties, etc. This should be at no expense to me. I had my car inspected last month by Nissan!

The passenger airbag sensor on my dashboard has been on constantly even if the seat is empty for two years and has been passing inspection. However, for some odd reason, my car failed inspection this year due to the airbag light. It costs over $2200 to fix. My Altima also has this issue. Nissan needs to recall this issue. It’s becoming a common problem with your cars.

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while entering and starting the vehicle, after two minutes the contact noticed black smoke coming from underneath the hood of the vehicle. The contact exited the vehicle and noticed a puddle of radiator fluid leaking from underneath the vehicle. The contact called the emergency road safety insurance and the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who inspected the vehicle and diagnosed a failure with the cooling fan malfunction. The contact was informed that the cooling fan needed to be replaced however, the part was no longer being manufactured. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 36,000.

On June 30, 2021 my Nissan Rogue was operating normally. My husband and I stopped at a store and I ran in while he stayed in the car. After about 10 minutes or so my husband came into the store to tell me my vehicle had started smoking, so he shut it off. It did not want to start again. After waiting 30 minutes the vehicle started and there were no problems, but I wanted to drive the car to my dealership just to check. While at the dealership, the vehicle began smoking out of the engine again, and now liquid was dripping onto the floor. It is my understanding that it got so hot in the engine that my washer fluid reservoir melted and that was the liquid dripping onto the ground. After having the vehicle towed to another repair shop, they advised me that I need a replacement cooling fan, but that part is not available in the United States at the moment. It has now been over a month and there is no update on when the part might be available, and neither my dealership nor repair shop nor Nissan will provide me with a working vehicle while mine is out. The engine could have caught on fire, endangering my husband and I and anyone driving near us. We were told Nissan is aware of this issue and isn't doing anything about it. There were no warning lamps prior to this happening. Several months prior the vehicle was in the repair shop for the A/C not working properly, a sound coming from my A/C blower, and the bluetooth not working properly.

The cooling fan for my 2017 Nissan Rogue is defective. The repair shop said there are 2 to three month backlogs to replace the defective fans in the Rogue model because the initial version of the fan as defective (apparently here are 100os of Rogues broken down waiting for the new version of the fan). This is a safety issue as well as a product defect issue as a vehicle breakdown in traffic is possible due to this defect. The defective fans are still being sold on the market and Nissan is not acknowledging the problem.

IN THIS Report: On my vehicle, the cooling fan assembly completely went out without warning, and when i seen the temp gauge starting to climb to the hot, i immediately shut the engine off. Bobb's Automotive checked it out and stated that the cooling fan faulted out. This auto repair shop also stated that the actual whole system faulted out on over 150+ other vehicles acrossed the country. And with this being said: Nissan is AWARE OF THE FAULTY SYSTEMS. they are in the process of Totally Redesigning of the Cooling Fan System. I further found out that Nissan is not covering the cost of the part, nor are they IMPOSING A RECALL ON THESE FAULTY COOLING FAN SYSTEMS. AT THIS POINT, MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP ON THE ACCOUNT OF NO COOLING FANS AVAILABLE IN THE USA. BUT AT THE SAME TIME NISSAN INFACT IS ADMITTING GUILT AT THIS TIME, BUT NOT ISSUING A RECALL . SOMTHING SHOULD BE DONE TO WARN OTHER NISSAN VEHICLE OWNERS BEFORE THEY EXPERIANCE THE SAME ISSUE, AND WHICH THEY MAY ALREADY HAVE, BUT HAS YET BEEN REPORTED. PLUS MY OPPINION IS THIS, .....IF THEY ARE TOTALLY REDESIGNING THE COOLING FAN SYSTEM, THERE IS A REASON...THEY KNOW THE ISSUE AND STILL WANT TO PASS THESE FAULTY COOLING FANS OFF ON THEIR VEHICLES.

This vehicle was purchased at a Carmax dealership in October of 2020. During the test drive it was observed that when accelerating and slowing, the car would jolt back and forth. The dealer told us that was "just how hybrids drive". It has since been inspected by an EV certified mechanic and the jolting was actually due to a failing transmission. We purchased the car and continued to drive this dangerous vehicle for 9 months.
