TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY AND STALLED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE MALFUNCTION WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MODERN NISSAN OF LAKE NORMAN (18615 STATESVILLE RD, CORNELIUS, NC 28031), BUT COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

DOOR LOCKS THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE DO NOT LOCK/UNLOCK AS THEY SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY (DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND BOTH BACK PASSENGER DOORS). HAVE TO MANUALLY LOCK/UNLOCK. IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY OF AN ACCIDENT/FIRE ETC., THE DOORS WOULDN'T UNLOCK IN ORDER TO GET INFANTS, TODDLERS AND YOUNG CHILDREN OUT OF THE VEHICLE IN A HURRY. IF I WERE BEING FOLLOWED/STALKED, I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO LOCK ALL MY DOORS FOR MY OWN SAFETY. BELONGINGS IN MY VEHICLE ARE AT RISK. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL TO GET THIS SAFETY ISSUE RESOLVED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. JUST LOOK AT THE LOCK PROBLEMS ON ALL FORUMS ON THE INTERNET WITH VARIOUS NISSAN MODELS. ESTIMATE OF $500 PER DOOR TO FIX EACH ACTUATOR IS INSANE. I DO NOT HAVE OVER $2,000 TO FIX SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY NISSAN. AT FIRST, I WASN'T SURE WHAT WAS GOING ON. AFTER LEAVING/LOCKING THE VEHICLE AND THEN RETURNING, ONE OF MY PASSENGERS WOULD PULL ON THEIR DOOR OR I'D PULL ON THE DOOR HANDLE ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND MY ALARM WOULD GO OFF. I HAD LOCKED/ALARMED THE CAR WHEN EXISTING BUT THE DOORS WERE NOT ACTUALLY LOCKED SO WHEN YOU RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE AND PULLED ON DOOR HANDLE YOU WERE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR (DUE TO LACK OF LOCK ACTUALLY LOCKING) WHICH CAUSED THE ALARM TO SOUND. PAYING CLOSER ATTENTION TO SEE IF IN FACT THE LOCKS WERE LOCKING/UNLOCKING WHICH THEY WERE NOT. WHEN I ARRIVE AT DESTINATIONS, TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, THE DOORS REMAIN LOCKED AND I MANUALLY HAVE TO UNLOCK BEFORE I CAN EXIT THE VEHICLE IS ANOTHER INCIDENT IN WHICH I REALIZED THERE WAS A PROBLEM.

THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE WHILE PARKED OVERNIGHT IN A GARAGE. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WAS ENGULFED IN SMOKE AND MUCH OF THE INTERIOR DRIVER'S SIDE MELTED WITH THE HEAT. MY FAMILY WOKE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT TO THE SOUND OF THE HORN CONTINUOUSLY BLARING. WE DISCOVERED A SMOLDERING FIRE INSIDE THE CAR WHICH WAS EXTINGUISHED BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS REMOVED FROM OUR PROPERTY AND IS BELIEVED TO BE A TOTAL LOSS. WE LATER DISCOVERED A RECENTLY-ISSUED RECALL FOR CORROSION OF THE ELECTRICAL HARNESS BELOW THE FLOOR MATS, CAUSING A SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL PANEL - THIS APPEARS TO BE THE CAUSE OF THE INCIDENT BUT IT IS CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION BY OUR INSURANCE COMPANY AND NISSAN NORTH AMERICA. *JS

ON SEPTEMBER 26, 2013 I HAD BROUGHT MY 2011 NISSAN ROGUE CAR IN FOR SERVICE BECAUSE MY REAR RIGHT DOOR WAS NOT LOCKING/UNLOCKING PROPERLY, AS IT TURNED OUT THE LATCH WAS DEFECTIVE, IT WAS REPLACED. TWO MONTHS LATER, I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE DRIVER''S DOOR WAS HAVING PROBLEMS LOCKING/UNLOCKING. AS IT TURNED OUT THAT LATCH WAS DEFECTIVE AS WELL. (THAT LATCH WAS REPLACED ON DECEMBER 3, 2013.) DURING THIS VISIT I ASKED THAT ALL THE DOORS BE CHECKED (WHILE UNDER WARRANTY) BECAUSE IT SEEMED THAT PERHAPS THIS WAS A DEFECT IN THE CAR''S MANUFACTURING. MY WARRANTY HAS SINCE EXPIRED AS OF MAY, 2014 AND TWO MONTHS LATER IN AUGUST, 2014 THE REAR DRIVER''S DOOR AND NOW THE FRONT PASSENGER''S DOOR ARE MALFUNCTIONING. (DOORS HAVE TO BE OPEN/CLOSED AND LOCKED/UNLOCKED MANUALLY.) THIS NOT ONLY IS A BURDEN, BUT AS A SINGLE WOMEN IT IS A SECURITY RISK NOT ONLY TO MY PERSON BUT TO THE VEHICLE ITSELF. I HAD CONTACTED DEALERSHIP ON BOTH OF THESE ISSUES AT THE TIME OF THE MALFUNCTIONS, AND THEY HAD ADVISED ME THAT THEY CAN ONLY REPAIR THE PROBLEM AT MY EXPENSE SINCE THE WARRANTY HAS SINCE RUN OUT. (NEEDLESS TO SAY, I REALLY DON''T UNDERSTAND THE DEALERSHIP''S POSITION ON THIS ISSUE CONCERNING THE PROBLEMS LEADING UP TO A TOTAL MALFUNCTIONING OF LOCKING/UNLOCKING SYSTEM, SINCE IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE AND WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM AT THEIR DEALERSHIP.) *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW, I HAVE 2 YEARS WITH THE CAR AND MY BATTERY IS BROKEN. *TR
