Hello, My VIN is not included part of recall which it has for this year. It has same symtom as other vehicles where vehicle slows down while driving. "One of the most common causes for slow acceleration in Nissan Rogue is a faulty CVT valve body, which is part of the continuously variable transmission system. This can cause the car to lose power and acceleration after driving for a long time or in hot weather." Nissan Manufacturer is not willing to listen to me or test it. I need some asisstance.
All headrests in the car became moldy and flaked white powder onto the seats. This car was part of the COVID issues and I was told it sat on a parking lot for approximately a year before receiving a chip. I purchased the car in the summer of 2022. In 2023 I noticed my headrests were getting a white powder on them. In the seams, front, back, and all sides. It was on every single headrest. Moldy headrests can cause many health issues. I had to contact the corporate office as no one was taking it seriously. I have now had all headrests replaced with new ones. They did not detail the interior of the car after replacement. I plan to do this myself.
On around [XXX] around 9-10 pm. I hear a muffled explosion. It even vibrated our house. It scared me and our two dogs. On [XXX] we ran errands in my vehicle. We get home. I open her hatch to get stuff out. I hear broken glass sound. I look up to see her rear window completely shattered. With two holes. One in the same area on either side. The glass actually blew outwards!! I called my local Nissan in Greeneville, TN. They told me to bring it in on on [XXX]. Before taking it in. I googled our issue. Low and behold NUMEROUS 2021 Nissan Rogue owners on a Nissan Forum has had the same issue! Nissan denies that there's been any issues have they had to replace any rear windows due to this. On a Nissan Forum other customers have been denied as well! A company that makes BILLIONS won't accept responsibility. I know one thing. We'll never buy another Nissan for sure. As we had to pay out of pocket almost $500 to have it replaced. Nissan denied ours as I had to tape it all up. Otherwise it would've fallen out into the road. Roughly 2 dozen or more customers can't be lying nor be wrong. Please help us. As I'm pretty sure it's a bad batch of glass. If it were anything else there'd probably be more.

Intermittent problems with the automatic transmission requiring stopping the vehicle, oft times in traffic, to restart the engine. All too often multiple restarts are required before the transmission works properly. It's a daily problem that occurs at the initial start and after coming to a traffic light. Nissan auto shops have not been able rectify the problem.
Today, 8/16/23, car had a oil change done at 32,167 mi., commented to service advisor that key needs a battery. The battery got replaced and was told that maybe the key needed to be rewired. i asked the check out receptionist how much does it cost. I was answered that its over $180 dollars.
Automatic transmission slips into neutral while accelerating at low speeds on 3 separate occasions
Windshield can not withstand any impact without cracking. This is 1 of 3 cracks. After this crack had windshield replaced with another factory windshield 2 more cracks after this one.
Multiple times when exiting car wash going from neutral to drive, car would not shift into drive. Dealership service department unable to duplicate issue. Brake fully pushed down and vehicle would not shift gear. Caused accident second time it happened. Need assistance with this issue as it is not getting handled due to non-replication by service departments.
The car seems to keep slipping into neutral while I am driving. If it’s right when pulling away, It shows the drive light is lit up, I am able to accelerate a little bit, and then I suddenly hear the loud rev of the engine, like when it’s in neutral. And I have to shift it into drive again(all while the light never appeared in neutral, it remained in drive) It’s also happened while already driving. I might stop at a light or stop sign, and when I go to accelerate again to drive away, it will make that same sound and I have to push it back into drive, and the light will remain in drive the whole time. I just purchased this vehicle, used. And it’s starting to make me feel very unsafe on the roads.
Moonroof exploded while driving 70 mph on highway today. Huge explosion then a shatter. Shards of glass were on my dog in the back seat and flew up front where I was driving.
I have the roof leak, infotainment issues, a rattle in my dash
2021 nissan roge sv. 23621 miles Sunroof explode while driving on highway it was glass everywhere. Became a unsafe vehicle for my kids. Dealer ship mike edman nissan horrible customer service will do anithing to no cover the guarantee and face the problem.7 calls to nissan Customer affairs never contact me.
First I had the leak which there was a TSB on due to the clips on the roof rack not being sealed properly. Had the clips replaced and resealed only to have 2 days later the leak back. For me it was the drivers side C pillar and drivers side hatch area. Took back & was told also have a faulty sunroof & sunroof seal. So now sunroof, seal & headliner also being replaced. There are tons online reporting the leaking issue. This needs to be fixed & changed to a recall!!! We should not be worried about having leaking on a brand new car and soaked headliners & pillars
On several occasions as I'm driving my car on its on will shift from drive to 1. I then have to pullover and put it back on drive. It's happened at different speeds since I bought it and reported to the sales guy and did nothing
2021 NISSAN ROGUE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO STRANGE NOISE COMING FROM VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE PARTS NECESSARY FOR THE REPAIR WERE ON BACK ORDER. THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER EXCCEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME REPAIRING THE VEHICLE.
While I was driving my back window exploded. Nothing hit me, and there was no cars behind me. The entire window just shattered.
Driving down the road at 55 mph moon roof exploded! Very loud explosion ! Disoriented me! Glass fragments everywhere!
This vehicle was purchased new without disclosure of any recalls. When I checked the vin a few months ago it showed as haveing 5 recalls, some of them major. When I checked recently it showed as having O unfixed recalls. The dealer never fixed the recalls and is running me around to even schedule. I didn’t think they could sell new cars with open recalls?
I got a brand new 2021 Nissan rogue. My window exploded outward. I just got to work oneday. I'm the only person in the parking lot. I'm sitting in my driver and 15 minutes later boom. On the Nissan forum site there are several more 2021 rogue rear windows blows up. I borrowed the money to pay to get it fixed for $500. The dealership wanted to keep the car for days to do and investigation to see why it cracked. They would not offer me a loaner car need to drive to work. The warranty would have paid for window but no loaner car to drive so I had to pay out of pocket so I could get back to work. Nissan corporate will not reimburse me for the money for the window and my trunks carpet that still needs to be detailed because of small glass I can't remove from the carpet.
WHEN I TURN ON THE A-C, ONE VENT BLOWS HEAT AND THE OTHERS ARE BLOWING COLD AIR.
A Pillar water leak on both driver and passenger side leaking into vehicle, noticeable water damage, possible sunroof drain or roof rail issue. Appears to be a known issue to dealer but blame user error for using car washes.
A-Pillars on both driver and passenger side are leaking water. this may cause mold issue during winter and harmful for the passenger of the vehicle.
When cornering the car losses strength and takes a few seconds to continue driving normally. The problem is intermittent. First visit to the dealer the problem “was addressed” because they repaired a voluntary recall for the ABS. The problem still persists and is currently at the dealer.
VEHICLE EITHER BLOWS HOT AIR OR COLD AIR. NOTHING IN THE MIDDLE. MUST SET IT TO LO FOR COLD AIR, AS SOON AS YOU GET TO 62 DEGREES THE VEHICLE WILL BLOW HOT AIR. THERE IS NO COMFORTABLE TEMPERATURE. THERMOSTAT CHANGE DID NOT FIX THIS DEFECT.
