2017 Nissan Rogue UNKNOWN OR OTHER

My car is a 2017 Nissan Rogue. The transmission is going bad. This started about 3 years into ownership but was not consistent until this recent year. The vehicle will sometimes falter when trying to press the gass peddle from a stopped position which could be very dangerous when trying to cross an intersection or make a turn with no speed. Additionally, there have been many occasions where we e had to pull over due to the gears not shifting correctly. The RPMs skyrocket but the car won't move any faster which is bad for the car and can be dangerous when getting onto the highway etc. Since this has been a known issue for many years (except of course, by me) yet sold to us with no warning of the strong possible this happening, we want Nissan to replace our transmission for free. Of we had been warned ahead of time, we could have chosen a different model or year that doesn't have these problems. Another issue is that the computer in the vehicle does not function properly and several features are useless such as the reading and notification of a text, the car will send the "I am driving" response, not only to the sender of the text but 2 other people in my contacts as well and if a text does get through, it ALWAYS read that it is from my son who no longer has contact with us. As annoying (and hurtful) these issues can be, all I care about is the transmission. i expect to receive a response and a resolution rather quickly as this is not my first attempt to get this fixed

On [XXX], my grandson and I went to the Nissan Dealership, 1777 N. Central Expressway, Richardson, TX 7080 to inquire about a safety recall of the key fob for a 2017 Nissan Rogue. My grandson was told that he could make an appointment for the dealership to insert a block in the fob so the key remains in the extended position. That position is very difficult to carry in a men's pants pocket. It is also a cheap remedy to the problem. As we were driving along the freeway to make a U-turn, the car stopped mid-turn, with oncoming traffic both behind him and in front. He tried to restart the car but it didn't start. He tried again and it finally started. I cannot believe the NHTSA would allow Nissan to treat this safety issue so callously just to save a few dollars. I am now constantly worried for my grandson and regret helping him buy this vehicle to attend college. We purchased the vehicle on [XXX] so we were checking things out. The dealership did not tell us anything was wrong, we read about the recall in a Carfax. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

my Door Lock Actuator has failed on my passenger side front seat door. This poses a safety risk potentially trapping my family inside or allowing doors to swing open while driving. I could also think I locked my doors, however it did not lock and can lead to theft. In 2010, a different car I had was stolen and I still have anxiety about this, so this added level of potential theft has increased my anxiety when going places. My local Goodyear repair shop inspected the actuator and advised that it has failed. There were no warnings or messages that were presented when this started occurring. This started summer of 2025 and gets worse as time goes on.

AC HVAC driver side where the blend door slot for actuator is stripped. The AC is stuck at heater and with out any AC in this heat I almost pass out while driving and almost hit people in the side walk but since it has a curve it hit my right side bumper on a bushes.

The muffler diffuser , a part of the exhaust system, suddenly and without warning failed as I was driving on the freeway. There were no warnings or indications of a problem until the passenger side joint failed as I was driving but the driver side joint was still attached and sticking out from the back of the car. This happened as I was driving on the freeway and when it happened I just heard a loud rattling sound. Since one side was still attached I was dragging/scraping the metal part on the freeway without realizing it, which could have caused a spark/ fire or if it had broken off completely an accident for myself or others. If it had continued to bend it could have gotten caught up in my wheels or worse. This is a hazard/danger in my opinion. The vehicle hasn’t been inspected by anyone other than my dad as of this moment. He was able to unscrew the diffuser so I could drive the car otherwise the car would have been a giant safety hazard and undriveable. The broken diffuser is still in my possession.

Three times in recent months vehicle has responded sluggish after coming to a stop. Two of those times were extended periods in stop amd go traffic greater than 20 minutes. 8/10/2024 event inexplicable as had stopped briefly and only driving for 5-10 minutes. Gas pedal must be fully depressed to get vehicle to move. When it finally responds it barely moves, RPMs Rev to 3,000 and stay there. In most recent episode 9/12/2024 I realized gas pedal was responding sluggishly after stopping for a light, but seemd to get in gear as normal. At 8 miles vehicle would barely resume rolling after a stop, gas pedal had to be floored, engine revved to 3,000 RPMs and acted like stuck in wrong gear, same as other 2 events. Like other times, no warning lights or gauges before or during event. After turning off vehicle and back on it returned to normal function, no indication there had been a problem. Not sure if this is a transmission problem or a computer problem, but a search of the internet reveals this is a common problem for Nissan Rogue owners. Many accounts read similar to mine. Not sure I can trust this vehicle anymore.

The liftgate has been malfunctioning. It will go up, and out of now where completely falls. It has fell on me and my 1 year old when I was getting something in the trunk and had to quickly throw my 1 year old into the trunk so he did not get injured, but it fell on my back. My car was taken to the dealership on [XXX] to confirm there is something mechanically wrong with the liftgate. There were no warning signs of the trunk just dropping.

AWD LIGHT WARNING ARE STAY ON WHILE THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LIGHTS ARE ON

My mother and I opened the trunk to place a luggage inside, when a part of the rear hatch detached and hit us as it fell. The piece is plastic and has no warning sensors.

I have water leak and mold growing in the passenger side of the vehicle for about a month. I took car to Rockaway Nissan, where i bought the vehicle. The dealer Stated that, they found sunroof drain hoses clogged with water and debris causing back flow of water into cabin which they claimed cleared and tested for leak and should remedy the issue. Unfortunately, i am still having the leak even after the work they did. I took my car to get inspected and check for leak again. Now they are saying that they don't know where the water is coming from and they advised me that it is safety hazard to drive this car and advised me to call Nissan Corporate office directly. I called Nissan Consumers affairs, and they are saying that it is the dealer that is supposed to fix not them. am worried that driving this car can create fire and other safety hazard with all this water leaking. Thank You

Intake manifold part number 14001-7FH0C broke down while driving. Vehicle would not accelerate, when taken to mechanic, the code indicated that the intake manifold needs to be replaced. Nissan is aware of this and i have a case number with them. Case # [XXX] I was on the freeway when this happened, me and my wife were both very worried because there was no exit nearby as we were going up and down hills with other vehicles going around us. The component was inspected by a mechanic at Sun Devil Auto. I contacted the Nissan dealership and when they received the code error, they said I did not need to bring the vehicle in for inspection as that part is needed to be replaced. There were no warnings, no symptoms, and no warning lamps initially. This all happened as I was on a road trip from Gilbert, AZ to Williams, AZ. Then suddenly before I reached Payson, AZ it stopped accelerating. It took about 3 hours of driving this way maybe between speeds of 35-40mph back from Payson, AZ to Gilbert, AZ before the check engine light ignited and I was able to get the vehicle diagnosed at my nearest mechanic. I ordered the intake manifold and paid for it on 7/31/2023, but it has been on backorder because they stopped production on the original version and only want to sell an "updated" version of it as this failure known to Nissan USA Inc.

Nissan Rogue's rear door has a sharply angled edge (right below the outside door nob/handle), which can be dangerous for young kids. While getting out of the rear door, my son who is 4 years old hit his head on the angled edge of the door and cut his head. Looking at other cars in the same class, most other doors have smoothed angled edge or relatively straight edge with no angled edge.

The sunroof self combusted (not rock or object hit it) while driving on the freeway. It shattered and pieces were flying off until I could stop. I believe there is some defect with that glass and or the protective coating that causes this from what I have learned. It is extremely dangerous and thankfully we had the sunroof cover closed.

The ignition key on the jack knife key fob unlocked itself into the folding position, which pulled the key out of my vehicle's ignition while I was in motion on a freeway going approximately 60 mph on highway 99. My whole vehicle suddenly began slowing down without me realizing what had happened. I was able to safely pull to the side of the road and discovered the jack knife key fob had unlocked hanging downwards forcing the ignition key to come halfway out of the ignition. No warning lights went off.

The heat and air conditioning unit having intermitant issue. Last year after 8 hr. Drive in 108 degree weather the air cond. unit started blowing luke warm, after air was turned off for 1 hr. It started working.Then stopped again several hours later. Then turned off again for 1hr. Then worked again.this problem still continues, as well as heater doing the same thing.Took to dealer they said they could not replicate the problem.Said i should bring in when it totally breaks.

Car unexpectedly stopped during highway speeds, with no warning. Car went from 75mph to 0mph. Driver barely had time to be able to pull off to the side.

I was contacted by the dealer via a letter indicating the vehicle could have a recall. I failed to ask them what it was when I called to make an appointment. When I visited the dealer's service department, I was surprised to be referred to a salesperson (you see, one of the options is for the car owner to sell their vehicle and get a new one). I believe this practice is deceptive and dealers should not be allowed to send letters using the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act and insinuating that there may be a recall associated with the vehicle.

Twice in two years the sunroof drains have clogged causing severe water leaking into the cabin of the vehicle. The first time, the dealer cleaned them out and took everything out of my car to clean it, including seats and carpet. Now they are saying I will have to pay for it. Nissan has a recall regarding a leak into the dash side harness, I am wondering if this is only on vehicles with sunroofs. I talked to Nissan, they said there is nothing they will do for the issue. When I called the service department at the local Nissan dealer, I was told by one of their managers, "Thats why I will never buy a Nissan with a sunroof". This is clearly a known issue, there are thousands of people talking about this issue on forums. I was criticized when I was asked if the vehicle is usually parked outside. I told them that it was, which is not an abnormal practice in the US. Basically they said its my fault for the leak because I park outside. The main issue now is that the car is so waterlogged that it is starting to mold or mildew. Everything in the car is soaked, it is unusable. I do not understand how they know about this issue but have not done a recall to fix it.

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.

Was notified about a recall on my vehicle the beginning of February 2022 and have been in contact with my local Nissan dealer several times. It is now August and their has been no more notification on a possible repair for a safety recall on my vehicle. called multiple times at least once per month. I'm just very worried about operating/driving the vehicle with the type of recall that is out on the vehicle and was looking for more information on what to do because of it. For reference I live in southern Louisiana and drive thru rain and my roads are prone to flooding in heavy rains so it puts my vehicle at risk because of the recall with the wiring harness and water intrusion. So this makes me very worried about potential accidents that could occur especially in hurricane season.

The sunroof on my 2017 Nissan Rogue exploded. I was driving down the freeway (paved), no cars in front of me for as far as I could see. Outside temperature was 100-degrees, driving roughly 60-65mph. Suddenly there was a very, very loud CRASH/POP! I was extremely startled. Thankfully I maintained control of my vehicle as my whole body tensed up. I looked around wondering what just happened (sounded like a shotgun) - as I looked in the rear view mirror I saw chunks of glass fly off the top of my vehicle, and I was now hearing wind, as if my sunroof were open, although all windows were closed & the AC was on high. I pulled over to see what happened & found shattered glass & a gaping hole - about 2 1/2 feet by 1 1/2 feet across, with obvious signs that it blew outward. The entire thing is shattered. Thankfully I had the fabric barrier closed, otherwise I would've been pelted/showered with shards of glass. As far as the list of questions... no warning lights or signs that a fail was eminent. I have not yet contacted my insurance. And I have sent an message to Nissan but am awaiting their reply.

Airflow sensor Yes the engine light suddenly appear on my screen I was turning right going uphill when it happen the car makes like sudden stops and the engine feels like choking up doesn't want to move forward for few seconds Somebody check it and also use a machine fixer from to auto zone to identify the cause of the problem It happen this morning

The windshield wiper recoil off has s leak and it drips into the blower for the heater and freezes. When this happens, the heater does not work at all. This causes visibility issues as the defrost/heater will stop working while you’re driving

The car will not accelerate when the gas is pushed. It hesitates and jerks. Sounds like I'm trying to drive in neutral. I have only had the car for a little over a month.

A/C does not work properly, air does not blow into the cabin no matter how high you turn the fan or if you change any of the settings. Brought it in for service on 9/11/19 the AC condensor-N was changed and freon added. Brought it in again for service on 3/17/20 the Mass air flow sensor-n was changed. Brought it in again for service on 2/2/21 the A/C o-rings were replaced and freon added again. It is now 8/22/22 and the same thing is happening again.
