    - SPRING, TX

    The front passenger seat Occupant Classification System (OCS) sensor failed. When the passenger seat is completely empty and vacant, the dashboard airbag warning light illuminates and stays on. However, when an adult sits in the passenger seat, the warning light turns off and the system functions normally. This indicates the sensor mat inside the seat cushion has lost its "zero-point" baseline calibration or suffered an internal electronic failure, causing it to read a ghost weight when empty. The component is still installed in the vehicle and is available for inspection. Safety is severely put at risk because a malfunctioning OCS sensor can cause the vehicle's computer to miscalculate passenger weight during a collision. This could lead to the frontal passenger airbag deploying with incorrect force, or failing to deploy at all, significantly increasing the risk of injury or death to an occupant. The problem happens consistently every time the vehicle is turned on with an empty seat, but it has not yet been formally inspected by a dealer, independent service center, police, or insurance. The only warning symptom prior to this failure was the sudden appearance of the dashboard airbag indicator light, which now stays illuminated continuously whenever the passenger seat is empty.

    Vehicle has plume of blue smoke each time it turns on, burning oil. Was informed by mechanic that it is a bad piston ring, which is common with this vehicle’s engine. It will eat through a full engine of oil in two months. 4K-10k fix. Car has 71k miles on it; under 10k miles put on it a year. Gets regular oil changes based on typical recommendation for a low mileage vehicle. Oil is checked regularly. This is in addition to a bad intake fan that needed replacing and cost 1.5k that others have been complaining of where the car would severely overheat.

    Stalling on Highway, hesitation at lights. Engine Light came on. Signals transmission codes P0776 and Judder P17F1. Consider this a defective part by Nissan. This should be covered by Nissan as a Transmission Recall. NHTSA, this is unacceptable someone could be seriously hurt, or fatality could happen due to a defective transmission.

    Nissan - started with delay acceleration while driving. Called our mechanic to set up appointment to see what was going on. When going to put the car in reverse to leave, the car floored forward and just missed hitting our house and electrical box! We were unable to get the vehicle to reverse, all gears brought the vehicle forward. We had to put in neutral gear and push the car backwards in order to drive down to our mechanic to have it looked at. Our local mechanic said the transmission needed to be replaced.. upon looking to see if this issue was reported by other consumers with a Nissan rogue sport; several complaints documented online of vehicle acceleration issues, especially on a highway and safety concerns. Seems that the transmission is an issue that needs to be addressed before someone is hurt or a crash occurs in our case our house almost being hit. I would like to report this issue with the 2017 Nissan rogue sports as a safety concern. My vehicle has under 100,000 miles and should not need a new transmission or have this safety arise is very concerning and I am looking for a resolution and coverage to fix this flaw with the transmission.

    When I was driving my 2017 Nissan rogue sport it was jerking forward as I was driving with no other issues show before. I took it to the mechanic and they pulled the transmission fluid and it was dark and smelly. The check engine light came on and I was told not to drive it. With further research I have found that others were having this issue as was advised to make a report about it to assure safety for other people.

    The transmission is bad and need to be replaced. I called destination nissan and they said even though the age and milleage of the car is below the warranty limity , my warranty expire 2023. The employee then told me those transmission (ctr) are bad and I am lucky I got the amount of time I did out of it because sometimes the transmission go bad after 5 years. That prompt me to file a complaint because people should not buy nissan rouges , have a monthly payment and in a few years have to pay a 6 to 8k bill. Also it is not safe. My car start to stutter on the road going toward a highway.
