Driver Side door does not unlock.
I went to open the driver's side door after unlocking the car and the door handle came off in my hand. As a disabled veteran, I need to have constant access to opening my driver's side door without having to maneuver over the passenger seat or recline the seat back to try and open the door from the driver's side passenger door. My wife saw that other 2014 Nissan Rogues had a recall for the same reason. When I reached out to the dealer I purchased the car from, they said my car wasn't on the recall list and I would have to pay $300 for the part and $180 / hr. for labor to get it fixed. We have been in a heatwave this summer but when this happened, I was parked in the shade of a parking garage. There was no visible tampering around the handle indicating that someone was trying to break in. In addition to the driver's side door handle coming off, my wife noticed another recall related to 2014 Nissan Rogues that has happened with out car. The latch holding the hatch door on the rear of the vehicle has become loose and is easily moved. Though it has not separated from the base, there is the possibility of the latch coming undone and groceries or other items in the trunk area to fly out and cause accidents by drivers dodging items (groceries. school supplies, etc.) that tumble out of the car.
Transmission went out : only had the vehicle for 5 months
During heavy rain storms the internal gutter under the sunroof fills with rainwater and fails to drain out through the weep-hole drain tubes located in the corners. This backed up rainwater then spills into the vehicle, onto the visors and even onto the driver and front seat passnger's heads. It distracts the driver, runs down and soaks the headliner and posts, and it will sooner or later penetrate the dashboard electrical systems causing all kinds of short circuits and danger. In my case, the dealer, several years ago, cleared out the internal weep-hole drain tubes using compressed air. But it now continues to flood, especially during a sudden heavy rainstorm. (The drain tubes need to be enlarged, and the seal around the sunroof-glass need to be improved).
The Drivetrain has had multiple issues since purchasing this vehicle. I have had to have the axle boot covers replaced multiple times - without any reason to cause the boots to tear or mess up. In addition the axle has had to be replaced multiple times. This is a very costly repair and doesn't last very long before it has to be replaced again. We are safe drivers and have no logical reason for this to occur on it's own. There have been multiple problems with the transmission during this same time. I feel that a recall should be issued for this vehicle and would appreciate any help with this vehicle problem.
While driving my dash gives off a warning my back lift gate is open, my doors will unlock then lock and the warning will disappear off my dash then come back again unlocking my doors while the car makes a beeping sound alerting me the lift gate is open repeatedly while driving. Also, while the car is turned off and parked the alarm will go off by itself when the doors are locked
i believe it is the transmission (a few others, but not specialists) have told me they thought it to be transmission related, also) I was driving spiritedly and at an intersection came to an abrupt stop. tried to immediately back up, put it in reverse and only the gas reved. the car would not move. and i checked to make sure it was in gear. and three or four more times and a stop light when the light changed i tried to go and it would not move.l i either had to wait a few minutes, or put it in park and back into drive then it would engage and drive.
The driver's side leaks, filling the floor board with water. This is the precursor to the issue that caused the recall Manufacturer Recall Number: R21B9, NHTSA Recall Number: 22V-024 There was constantly water, several inches deep, on the drivers side floor. The dealership said they could not fix it so I found someone to fix the leak. The recall notice from Nissan says they will pay for repairs. I filed all of the paperwork Nissan asked for on the recall notice. Now they say they won't pay because they do not know how to fix it. I just want to be reimbursed for my out of pocket expense to make my car safe to drive.
Water leakage to the interior
CVT was determined by Nissan dealership to be manufacturer flaw, resulting in loss of acceleration on hwy, shaking, etc. Cost to replace transmisson body was over $3,000
Sunroof exploded when driving home on 9/14/2021. There was a loud bang and then the emergency flashers came on without me activating them. My 2014 Nissan Rogue has both a Sun roof and adjacent Moon Roof. State Police were called and the associated case number is 21-842-7-21
WATER LEAK IN DRIVERS FLOOR BOARD IN MY 2014 ROGUE, WHICH SOUNDS LIKE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2014. IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WHICH THE DEALER SAID THEY CAN'T FIX. IT IS BEEN OUT SOURCED TO THE WATER DOCTOR. I DON'T THINK THIS IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY TO FIX WHEN I BOUGHT THIS CAR WITH THIS DEFECT UNAWARE OF THE PROBLEM. I STARTED TO NOTICE THIS LEAK A YEAR AGO. I WANT TO KNOW WHO I CAN HOLD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS PROBLEM?
IN JUNE OF 2020 I NOTICED THE SMELL OF MOLD AND MILDEW IN MY CAR, BUT I COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM IN MY VEHICLE. THEN ONE SUNNY DAY IN JUNE I OPENED MY SUNROOF TO BE DOUSED WITH WATER THAT CAME POURING IN. I DID SOME INVESTIGATING AND DISCOVERED THAT THE DRAIN WAS CLOGGED, AND THUS THE BUILD UP OF WATER. I WATCHED A YOUTUBE VIDEO ON HOW TO CLEAR THE CLOG, AND DID MY BEST TO REMOVE THE BLOCKAGE. I THEN DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A POOL OF WATER BENEATH THE CARPET UNDER THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT. I CALLED MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS ALSO A REAR DRAIN, THAT MUST BE CLOGGED AS WELL. UNFORTUNATELY I COULD NOT FIND A WAY TO CLEAR THE REAR DRAIN ONLINE. I BROUGHT IT IN TO MY NISSAN'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AND ENDED PAYING $900.00 TO HAVE BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR DRAINS CLEARED PROPERLY. CLEARING THE REAR DRAIN IS ESPECIALLY LABOR INTENSIVE, AS THEY HAD TO REMOVE THE HEADLINER TO GET TO IT, SO THE LABOR IS LONG AND EXPENSIVE. NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO, AS THE CAR IS PAST IT WARRANTY DATE. IF NOTHING TRULY CAN BE DONE, THEN I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO EXPLAIN TO ME WHY I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR WATER DAMAGE TO THE INTERIOR OF MY CAR, AND THE COST TO UNCLOG THE DRAINS. I HAVE MAINTAINED THIS NISSAN ROGUE WITH GREAT CARE AND THOROUGHLY AS RECOMMENDED BY NISSAN'S SERVICE MENU. THERE IS NO MENTION OF KEEPING THE DRAINS OF THE SUNROOF CLEAR AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT NEVER MENTIONED DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THEM. I WAS NEVER GIVEN ANY INDICATION OF HAVING TO MAINTAIN MY SUNROOF DRAINS IN ANYWAY. AT THE COST OF $900.00, THE DRAINS NOW CLEAR, BUT MY CAR STILL WATER STAINED AND SMELLING OF MOLD. PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND HOW AND WHY THIS HAS HAPPENED, AS NO ONE ELSE IS WILLING OR ABLE TO DO SO, AND I AM LEFT COMPLETELY FRUSTRATED AND ANGERED BY THIS SITUATION.
WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY ALL OF A SUDDEN GLASS IN MY SUNROOF JUST EXPLODED. MADE QUITE A NOISE AND STARTLED ME. THERE WERE NO TRUCKS IN FRONT OF ME AND NO OVER PASSES. THE GLASS BLEW OUT ALL OVER ME AND THE REST OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN CLEANING IT UP I COULD NOT FIND ANY EVIDENCE OF ANY THING THAT COULD HAVE HIT IT TO MAKE IT SHATTER. I FEEL AS THOUGH I WAS VERY LUCKY IN THIS CASE AS I DID NOT GET ANY GLASS IN MY EYES AND JUST A VERY SMALL CUT ON MY HAND. I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AT THE SPEED LIMIT WHICH IS 70 MPH AND CONSIDER MYSELF VERY LUCKY THAT I WAS NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF IT. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY PRETTY MUCH JUST BLEW ME OFF, I THINK THAT IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS HAPPENING THAT SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE TO CORRECT IT IMMEDIATELY.
FRONT OVERHEAD CONSOLE FELL DOWN DURING DRIVING TO A STOP AT A CITY ROAD INTERSECTION. IT CAUSED QUITE A SHUDDER AND PARTIALLY BLOCKED VISIBILITY. OVERHEAD CONSOLE APPEAR TO BE NOT BOLTED ONTO THE ROOF BUT RATHER SECURED BY PLASTIC PINS, WHICH FAILED TO CAUSE THE INCIDENT. DEPENDING ON VEHICLE OPERATING CONDITIONS, INCIDENT LIKE THIS COULD CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS ENDANGERING DRIVER AND OTHERS.
THE LIFTGATE ON THIS NISSAN ROGUE HAS CONTINUOUSLY FAILED TO REMAIN IN THE UP/OPEN POSITION. ONCE ACTIVATED IT RISES UP TO ALLOW ACCESS TO REAR BUT THEN ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DROPS 12 TO 15 INCHES THEREBY HITTING THE PERSON EITHER ON THE TOP OF THE HEAD OR IN THE FOREHEAD. IT TRULY IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND COULD CAUSE THE OWNER TO BECOME UNCONSCIOUS. THIS HAPPENS WHENEVER THE VEHICLE IS PARKED OR OTHERWISE NOT MOVING.. WHILE THIS CONDITION HAS CAUSED A NHTSA RECALL NISSAN INDICATES THAT THIS VIN IS NOT IN THE RECALL AS THE VEHICLE WAS PRODUCED IN A FACTORY DIFFERENT FROM THE RECALL. YET THE PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE IS IDENTICAL TO WHAT IS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP STATES THAT IT WILL COST BETWEEN $1500 AND $2000 TO REPAIR THE FAULTY STRUTS THAT ARE UNABLE TO KEEP THE LIFTGATE IN THE UP POSITION. THEY ARE TRYING TO PUT IF OFF AS "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR."
I'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH WATER POOLING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE CARPET. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE ON 12/28/18 AND 12/31/08 TO HAVE THIS ISSUE LOOKED AT. THE TECHNICIANS SAID THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE SUNROOF DRAIN TUBE: IT HAD A KINK IN IT. SO THEY REPLACED THAT. HOWEVER, AFTER THAT REPLACEMENT, I STILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF WATER ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE CARPET. I'VE RESEARCHED ON ONLINE FORUMS FOR NISSAN OWNERS, AND THIS SESMS TO BE A KNOWN AND RECURRING ISSUE FOR '14 ROGUES.
CAR COMPUTER WAS HACKED BY WIRELESS CRIMINALS. HE HAS BEEN ABLE TO UPDATE MY COMPUTER, CAR CLOCK, MAKE MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLASH AFTER THE MESSAGE REAR VIEW CAMERA IS UNAVAILABLE DISPLAYS ON THE DASHBOARD. I BELIEVE THE CRIMINAL TARGETED MY VEHICLE WHILE PARKED AT A PUBLIC PLACE WHILE I WAS ATTENDING MY CHILDREN.
THE SHIFT LOCK DOES NOT RELEASE WHEN THE BRAKE IS PRESSED. I HAVE TO MANUALLY RELEASE THE SHIFT LOCK. REPLACED THE SELENOID TWICE. AND IT STILL DOES NOT LAST MORE THAN A WEEK WITHOUT BREAKING AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED AS SOON AS I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM A NISSAN DEALER WITHIN A WEEK.
THE AIR CONDITIONING STOPS BLOWING COLD AIR AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES ON THE FREEWAY. HAD THE COMPRESSOR REPLACED LAST YEAR DUE TO AN ALLEGED LEAK AFTER LOOSING ALL AIR CONDITIONING WHILE DRIVING 2.5 HOURS ON THE FREEWAY. EXPERIENCING SAME ISSUE THIS YEAR AND THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIGURE IT OUT.
THE TOUCH SCREEN ON MY 2014 ROGUE STOPPED WORKING DUE TO AN INTERNAL MALFUNCTION PER THE DEALER THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ON A 4 YR, OLD CAR AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY $4,000 PLUS DOLLARS TO REPLACE IT.
THE GPS SYSTEM IS FAULTY AND THE MANUFACTURER EITHER CANNOT OR WILL NOT REPLACE THE GPS SYSTEM NOR PROVIDE UPDATES. A MAP COMPANY HERE MAPS, PROVIDES UPDATES FOR ALL OF THE OTHER NISSAN ROGUES BUT NOT 2014. CAUGHT IN SNOW STORM LAST WINTER AND HAD NO GPS WHATSOEVER. ON THE NISSAN WEB SITE WWW.NISSAN.NAVIGATION.COM IT PROVIDES A PHONE NUMBER FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE WHICH CONNECTS YOU TO HERE MAPS. HERE MAPS AND NISSAN HAVE SAID THAT AN UPDATE IS COMING BUT I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT FOR WELL OVER A YEAR NOW. NISSAN AND HERE MAPS ARE BOTH POINTING FINGERS AT ONE ANOTHER AND THE PEOPLE DRIVING THE 2014 NISSAN ROGUE ARE THE ONES WHOSE SAFETY IS BEING PUT IN JEOPARDY. A NISSAN DEALERSHIP LOOKED AT THE GPS AND INSTALLED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THE UPDATE NOW SIMPLY TELLS YOU IT CANNOT LOCATE THE ADDRESS YOU ARE LOOKING FOR. THE VEHICLE PROVIDED THIS NOTIFICATION WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STOP AND WHEN IT WAS MOVING. DRIVERS DEPEND ON THE GPS IN THE VEHICLE. THE SCREEN JUST GOES BLANK AND PUTS PEOPLE'S LIVES AND SAFETY AT RISK. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE AND I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN AND HERE MAPS MULTIPLE TIMES.
WHEN THE HEAT IS TURNED ON WHETHER IT'S DEFROST, OR REGULAR HEATING THE HEAT DOESN'T BLOW WARM OR HOT AIR ONLY COLD AIR. THE AIR CONDITIONER WILL STOP WORKING AND BLOW WARM AIRINTERMITTENTLY
NAVIGATION SYTEM GICVE IMPROPER DIRECTS , SOME OF WHICH WOULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT , E.G SAYING MAKING A LEFT TURN ON A 4 LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY
WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, IN A NISSAN ROGUE I BOUGHT USED WITH ONLY 35,000 MILES ON IT, I HEARD A DEAFENING SOUND, MUCH LIKE A GUNSHOT RIGHT ABOVE MY HEAD, FOLLOWED BY THE SOUND OF SHATTERED GLASS. I COULD HEAR WIND RIPPING THROUGH THE LINER OF MY SUN ROOF, AND THE PIECES GLASS CONTINUING TO SHIFT AND MOVE, WITH EACH MOVEMENT OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS ON A TWO LANE ROAD, WITH LITTLE TO NO TRAFFIC. NO DEBRIS OR ITEM WAS FOUND NEAR THE SHATTERED SUN ROOF, IT SEEMED TO JUST "POP". THIS WAS IN THE END OF OCTOBER, AS SOON AS THE WEATHER HAD STARTED TO DROP IN TEMPERATURE.
