I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 75 MPH IN VA ON HILLS WHEN THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD BLACKED OUT. I COULD NOT SEE THE RPMS, ACTUAL SPEED I WAS GOING AS THE SPEEDOMETER AND CENTRAL PANEL THAT DISPLAYS THE MILEAGE DRIVE WERE ALL BLACK. I STARTED TO PANIC THINKING THE CAR HAD JUST SHUT DOWN - I CANNOT RECALL IF THE RADIO PANEL WAS ALSO OFF. MY INSTINCTIVE RESPONSE WAS TO STEP ON THE GAS TO SEE IF THE CAR WAS RUNNING TO WHICH I FELT THE CAR SPEED UP BUT I STILL COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING ON THE DASH. I SUBSEQUENTLY PULLED OVER AND SHUT OFF THE CAR. THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND READINGS WERE VISIBLE WHEN I STARTED UP THE CAR. IN HINDSIGHT, THE DASH HAD APPEARED TO FLICKER EARLIER IN THE DRIVE BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST MY VISUAL ANGLE FROM LOOKING DOWN THROUGH MY BIFOCALS. I REPORTED IT TO MY DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALER'S STAFF NOTED THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM AND NOTED TO BRING IT BACK WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS OCCURRING, IF IT RECURRED. NOT SURE IF THEY REALLY TESTED IT AS THE MAINTENANCE WAS DONE IN LESS THAN TWO HOURS WHICH ALSO INCLUDED AN OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION. *TR

I BOUGHT NEW NISSAN ROGUE SELECT 2014 ON JULY 13,2014. FOR THE FIRST MONTH IT WAS WORKING EXCELLENT. SUDDENLY I STARTED HEARING A CLICK SOUND ( SOME TIMES LOUDER). THIS SOUND I FEEL COMING FROM ENGINE NEAR RIGHT FRONT WHEEL. I REPORTED THIS IN MY FIRST 1000 MILE INSPECTION, BUT SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID IT IS NORMAL. THEN I DROVE SAME VEHICLE OF MY FRIEND, I DID NOT FEEL ANY SUCH SOUND. DURING MY FIRST SERVICE ( 6 MONTHS SERVICE) I AGAIN MENTIONED SAME THING TO SERVICE DEPT. THIS TIME THEY EXPLAINED THAT THIS IS COMING BECAUSE SHIFTING FROM BACK GEAR TO DRIVING MODE. BUT IF IT IS NORMAL THEN WHY OTHER VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE THIS KIND OF SOUND. ALSO, SOME TIMES IT IS VERY SCARY. WE FEEL THAT SOMETHING IS BROKEN. BUT WE ARE NOT GETTING ANY HELP. THANKS *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. IN ADDITION, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE RPMS INCREASED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000. UPDATED 5/4/15*CN

RIGHT REAR SEAT BELT DISENGAGED FROM THE UPPER MOUNTING. WHEN THIS OCCURRED MY GRANDCHILD WAS IN HIS CAR SEAT, HE IS 7, THE SEAT BELT JUST FELL INTO HIS LAP. I WAS PREPARING BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, CAR WAS IN PARK. UPDATED 09/24/14*LJ WHEN WE RETURNED FROM A TRIP TOOK, 8-15, TOOK VEHICLE TO MY DEALER SERVICE TECH AND MGR. QUITE SURPRISED AS WERE A FEW OTHERS. THE BOLT THREADS WERE STRIPPED ABOUT 1/4" FROM THE END. BLAME WAS IMMEDIATELY PLACED ON MANUFACTURING QUALITY CONTROL AND I AGREE. NO ONE USED THE RIGHT REAR SEAT DURING OUR TRAVELS. HOWEVER I RECEIVED QUITE A FEW COMMENTS ON MY "LOOSE" SEAT BELT! NEW BELT ORDER PLACED SATURDAY 8-16, SO NO ANSWER TO,1) IS ONE IN STOCK AND 2) WHEN WILL IT ARRIVE?. SO UNTIL THE BELT ARRIVES I CANNOT TRANSPORT MY GRANDCHILDREN OR A MAXIMUM OF 2!, I HAVE 7 YEAR OLD TWINS. THE ROGUE IS 5 MONTHS OLD. OF COURSE MY CONCERN IS HOW MANY OTHER 2014 ROGUES ARE ON THE ROAD WITH THIS PROBLEM. WHAT IF I HAD AN ACCIDENT WITH MY GRANDCHILD OR ANOTHER PERSON IN THAT SEAT. ARE MY OTHER SEAT BELTS SECURELY MOUNTED? IT WILL BE HARD TO FEEL 100% SAFE IN THIS ROGUE. I AM SURE MY DEALER WILL CHECK OUT MY CONCERNS, BUT WHAT CAUSED THE BOLT TO STRIP AND THEN DISLODGE? UPDATED 2/24/2015 *JS

VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION - ENGINE WAS RUNNING BUT CAR WOULDN'T GO FORWARD. SENT TO REPAIR, AND GO THE CAR BACK BUT A FEW DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED. WAS TOLD THAT IT COULDN'T BE REPAIRED AND WAS TAKEN FROM ME. I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN AUCTIONED OFF AS JUNK BUT I WANT TO KNOW IF IT REALLY WAS. IT SHOULD DEFINITELY NEVER BE BACK ON THE ROAD.

VEHICLE WAS BEING PARKED. AS DRIVER APPLIED BRAKES, VEHICLE ACCELERATED FORWARD, JUMPING SIDEWALK CURB AND COLLIDED WITH TREE AT APPROXIMATELY 10MPH. ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN, DRIVER MANAGED TO GEAR TO REVERSE AND BACKED VEHICLE AWAY FROM TREE, OFF THE SIDEWALK, BACK OVER THE CURB, AND INTO PARKING SLIP. THE MANUAL SUPPLIED WITH THE VEHICLE CLAIMS THAT IT IS EQUIPPED WITH EVENT DATA RECORDER CAPABLE OF STORING INFORMATION PRIOR TO AND DURING AN ACCIDENT. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THE VEHICLE IS NOT. *TR

OPERATOR ENGAGED IN LOW SPEED PARKING MANEUVER. CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, JUMPED CURB AND STRUCK TREE. DRIVER SLIGHTLY INJURED LEFT WRIST REQUIRING X-RAYS. NO BONES FRACTURED. I ORDERED READING OF EDR DATA. WAS FIRST TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT NO EDR WAS INSTALLED IN MY VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH THE MANUAL ISSUED WITH THE VEHICLE CLEARLY STATED THERE WAS. NISSAN NORTH AMERICA SENT TECHNICIAN TO EXTRACT DATA. BY THE TIME IT WAS DONE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL HARNESS HAD BEEN REMOVED AND REPLACED. REPRESENTATIVE OF NISSAN NORTH AMERICA CLAIMED DATA WAS EXTRACTED AND THAT THEIR INTERPRETATION OF THE DATA INDICATED NO CULPABILITY ON THEIR PART FOR ACCIDENT. REFUSED TO SHARE ACTUAL DATA WITH ME SINCE FLORIDA HAS NO LEGISLATION DEALING WITH OWNERSHIP OF SUCH DATA. I CONSIDER THEIR INTERPRETATION TO BE INCONCLUSIVE SINCE I HAVE WAY OF KNOWING THE ALL OF THE ELEMENTS REQUIRED BY NHTSA FOR INTERPRETATION WAS ACTUALLY EXTRACTED. *TR

CLICKED ON THE KEYLESS OFF/ON BUTTON WHILE IN "DRIVE" WHEN PARKING CAR. THE CAR, AT A ALARMING RATE OF SPEED STARTED GOING BACKWARDS. I DUPLICATED THIS ACTION FOR MY HUSBAND WHO THOUGHT I MUST HAVE HAD THE CAR IN "NATURAL" THE CAR AGAIN STARTED GOING BACKWARDS. BOTH EVENTS WHEN PERFORMED ON FLAT LAND. *TR

JUST A COMPLAINT THAT THE HEADREST OF THE 2014 NISSAN ROGUE IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. I AM A WOMAN WHO IS 5'4" AND I CAN NEVER GET THE HEADREST IN A COMFORTABLE POSITION, IT PUSHES MY HEAD TOO FAR FORWARD. *TR

WHENEVER THE FRONT-SEAT PASSENGER BUCKLES HIS OR HER SEAT BELT EVEN A FEW SECONDS AFTER WE START OUR ROGUE, PUT IT IN GEAR, AND START DRIVING, THE "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG REMAINS OFF INDEFINITELY. WE ARE ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM ONLY BY STOPPING THE CAR, SHUTTING IT OFF, AND MAKING SURE THAT THE PASSENGER BUCKLES HIS OR HER SEAT BELT BEFORE THE ENGINE IS RE-STARTED. THIS IS CLEARLY A DANGEROUS PROBLEM. WE SPOKE TO OUR NISSAN DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT ABOUT THIS, AND THEY TOLD US THAT THEY ARE AWARE THAT THIS KIND OF THING HAPPENS, BUT THEY HAVE NO FIX FOR IT. *TR

WHILE SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE, THE TOP PART OF THE GEAR SHIFT AND THE CHROME "STEM" LIFTED OFF. I PUSHED DOWN TO PUT IT BACK AND THE BUTTON TO ENGAGE THE GEAR SHIFT AND MOVE TO DIFFERENT GEARS WAS STUCK IN. THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD NOT MOVE FROM NEUTRAL OR DRIVE AND WHEN I PARKED THE VEHICLE, I HAD TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. *JS

LETTER FROM SENATOR WARNER ON BEHALF OF CONSTITUENT REGARDING ISSUES WITH HIS 2014 NISSAN ROGUE AND HIS REQUEST FOR A REFUND; SEND REPLY TO THE HONORABLE MARK R WARNER 180 WEST MAIN STREET, ROOM 235 ABINGDON VA 24210 ATTN: SHANE CLEM. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS NOT PERFORMING AS ADVERTISED WITH AN AVERAGE FUEL ECONOMY OF 22 MPG. INSTEAD,OF AN AVERAGE OF 28 MPH AS SOWN IN THE WINDOW STICKER.

I DROVE 10 MILES AND SHUT THE CAR OFF FOR AN HOUR THEN GOT BACK IN AND ENTERED THE FREEWAY TO GO HOME. I DROVE A COUPLE MILES AND LOST ACCELERATION. AT 70 MILES AN HOUR ON THE FREEWAY MY CAR WAS ACTIVELY DECELERATING WHILE I WAS PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL. I LET OFF NOT KNOWING WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND THE CAR SEEMED TO ACCELERATE SOME OR COASTED MORE FREELY. I STEPPED ON THE GAS AND THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AGAIN. I REPEATED THIS A COUPLE TIMES BEFORE DECIDING I HAD TO PUT HAZARDS ON AND PULL OVER. I AM SO GRATEFUL I DIDN'T GET REAR ENDED AS I HAD SLOWED DOWN RAPIDLY WITH OUT ANY BREAK LIGHTS TO WARN OTHERS. WHEN I PULLED OVER AND PUT IT IN PARK THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (MALFUNCTION LIGHT) AND ALSO THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON. IT WAS TOWED AND HELD OVERNIGHT UNTIL IT COULD BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP (APPARENTLY NOTHING CAN BE DROPPED OFF WHEN THEY ARE CLOSED). *TR

I HAVE QTY 2, 2014 NISSAN ROGUES, BOTH HAVE THE $1420 NAVIGATION SYSTEM AND NEITHER OF THEM WORK. THE DIRECTIONS ARE NOT ACCURATE AND CAN BE OFF BY MILES, OR JUST OUT OF THE AREA ALTOGETHER. IT WILL NOT DISPLAY SUB STREETS AND JUST TELLS YOU TO GET TO A MAIN ROAD. THE NAV, RADIO AND CONTROL MODULE REBOOTS OFTEN. I HAVE HAD THE DEALER LOOK AT IT AND IN ONE OF THEM THEY UPGRADED THE MAPS DATA FILE, THIS DID NOT HELP. I DO NOT USE THE NAVIGATION AT ALL AND HAVE RESORTED TO MY OLD GARMIN, WINDSHIELD MOUNT, WHICH WORKS PERFECTLY. NISSAN SHOULD HAVE JUST EMBEDDED A GARMIN IN THEIR DASH. TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY [XXX] & [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ON MAY 10, 2014, I PARKED MY 2014 NISSAN ROGUE IN MY GARAGE. I PUT VEHICLE IN PARK AND GOT OUT WENT TO THE PASSENGER SIDE TO GET MY BAG ON PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS. I RAN TO BACK OF CAR TO STOP IT. LUCKY FOR ME I WASN'T BEHIND THE CAR WHEN IT STARTED TO ROLL BACK. I STOPPED IT ENOUGH BEFORE IT HIT THE DECLINE IN MY DRIVEWAY AND RAN TO DRIVERS SIDE AND JUMPED IN AND HIT BRAKE. MOVED CAR BACK INTO GARAGE AND PUT BLOCKS BEHIND THE TIRES. AT THAT POINT, I THOUGHT IT WAS A ONE TIME EVENT. APPROXIMATELY 1 HOUR LATER I RAN AN ERRAND, PUT CAR IN PARK (ON LEVEL GROUND), GOT OUT OF CAR AND IT STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS AGAIN. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO NISSAN DEALER AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED. PERTAINING TO MEDICAL ATTENTION. MY BACK, LEFT SHOULDER AND LEGS ARE VERY SORE (MAY 11). WILL SEE IN A DAY OR SO IF FURTHER MEDICAL IS NEEDED. *TR

VEHICLE SUFFERS LOSS OF POWER WHEN PULLING OUT FROM A DEAD STOP INTO TRAFFIC AND MAY HESITATE SEVERAL SECONDS BEFORE REGAINING ACCELERATION. WHEN IT DOES THIS,IT WILL THEN AT TIMES CONTINUE REVVING THE ENGINE TO EXTREME RPMS AND WILL NOT REDUCE RPMS TO THE NORMAL AS IT SHOULD, PLACING THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL WILL ALLOW THE RPMS TO LOWER AND PLACING THE VEHICLE INTO GEAR AGAIN IT WILL DRIVE NORMAL. THERE ARE NO FAILURES BEING SHOWN IN THE COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS WHEN CHECKED BY DEALER, AND NOTHING IS FAILING. NO SET TIME FRAME OR PATTERN RELATED TO THIS ISSUE, MAY DO IT SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW AND THEN NOT FOR SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES AFTER. THERE IS NO WARNING OR FEEL THAT THIS IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN .

PASSENGER AIR BAGS ARE OFF IN SPITE OF PASSENGER BEING PRESENT. *TR

ON SUNDAY JANUARY 11TH, 2014, MY FAMILY AND I WERE ON OUR WAY HOME. AFTER STOPPING AT A SERVICE STATION MY HUSBAND PULLED ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND WAS ACCELERATING TO THE APPROPRIATE SPEED AND THE CAR JUST GOT STUCK AT 6500 RPM'S AND 60 MPH. IT STAYED THAT WAY FOR ABOUT 5 MILES,WE COULD SLOW DOWN BUT THE RPM'S WERE STILL STUCK AT 6500 AND THE ENGINE WAS MAKING A HORRIBLE SOUND, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND SEVERAL TIMES WE HAD TO RIDE THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD.

AFTER TURNING, THE CAR LOST ALL GAS, NOTHING HAPPENED WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS PUSHED AND THEN FINALLY IT STARTED TO GO AGAIN. WE ARRIVED AT OUR HOME MY HUSBAND OPENED THE HOOD AND TOLD ME TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR A LITTLE AND THEN HE SAW SMALL PUFFS OF SMOKE. I SMELLED SOMETHING LIKE BURNING RUBBER WHILE SITTING IN THE DRIVERS SEAT AND MY HUSBAND SAID HE SMELLED SOMETHING SWEET UNDER THE HOOD. THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW ON JANUARY 4TH, 2014, IT HAD 25 MILES WHEN PURCHASED. THE MILEAGE ON JANUARY 11TH WAS AROUND 500. THIS IS A DANGEROUS VEHICLE, I AM WAITING ON THE DEALERSHIP TO CALL AND LET ME KNOW WHAT THEY FIND. *TR
