2015 Nissan Rogue Complaint Log

My key fob barely works,the red key indicator comes on every few streets. I went for oil change & tune up,they informed me back brake light,passenger side didn't work. Got recall inspection/ repair & wasn't informed of anything wrong. Not to mention I've topped of ac charge twice in one month. There's clearly an issue of fire hazard with the Rogues.I make too many on time payments to be played for an idiot. Also,I shouldn't have to pay a new car price for repairs.

Nissan has a flaw in their door blend actuators in which over time the actuator motor that turns the HVAC flap gets worn out by the turning of the actuator. Overtime the hole in which the actuator goes into gets worn out, which disables the flap to work properly. This is an issue because in my case, I cannot utilize my defroster or even see under cold conditions if the flap cannot distribute cold air. I am forced to pay 5 grande to fix something that is a necessity. I need to see when driving down the road. Nissan should do something to fix this issue on rouge models of 2015 to current ones.

Transmission shakes between 2,000-2,500 RPM

I started noticing about 1.5 years ago that the HVAC system was not working properly. The driver's side will not heat or cool properly. I researched this issue online and NUMEROUS Nissan Rogue owners between 2014-2018 all experienced the same issue. A few posted fixes and I tried all of them but none worked. I should mention I bought this 2015 Nissan Rogue in 2020 and it only had 26,000 miles. It still only has about 42,000 miles. Nissan Consumer Affairs told me to get a diagnosis from a Nissan dealership - the fix is a complete replacement of the HVAC system at the cost of $3000 which I don't have. Nissan Consumer Affairs refused to compensate for any part of the fix. At first I though well, I can deal with it and just use blankets to keep warm in the winter. The dangerous situation happened when I was driving during a recent California rain storm (which we hadn't had in a few years). I was on the freeway when the front windshield fogged up and since the HVAC controls the defrosting ability the car was unable to defrost the front windshield. I suddenly had 0 visibility while driving on the freeway and I almost crashed! I had to very carefully pull all the way over without the ability to see. I told Nissan Consumer Affairs about this and they still refuse to deal with the situation. It's a very common problem (if you research it online) and should be part of a Nissan recall before someone dies in a crash.

The occupant t sensor (OCS) is faulty, and keeps flashing nonstop for months. My passengers are unsafe. The dealer confirms the problem wants to charge $1,500, but I see it is a recurring problem. However, even though my vehicle is within the range of vehicles recalled (Rogue 2014 through 2017), my vin # is not showing a recall, and I would like to know why it was not included - as it should be. Please be advised that it might have to do with the model designation as "Rogue Select" instead of "Rogue". The Rogue Select is essentially the same vehicle as the 2014 Rogue , they just renamed it adding "Select" when they introduced the new design in 2015 because they could not have two vehicles with the same name. Please investigate.

Driver Airbag light started flashing. According to the vehicle manufacturer's manual, this indicator means the drivers' airbag will NOT deploy. The battery was unplugged and left in an attempt to reset. When key turned in ignition, the airbag light immediately started flashing again. I am the only owner of this vehicle. I bought it brand new and it has never been in an accident where the airbags have deployed. The vehicle has been garage kept for the duration of my ownership. I have not had any water damage, and I have not had any other electrical issues so far.

Drove my car normally to work and home that day. Upon starting it up in the evening, the red airbag light turned on and began flashing as soon as the key was in the ignition. I read the manual, tried to reset the warning light by unhooking the battery. Airbag light continues to flash on the drivers side. The owners' manual says this means the airbag is faulty and will not deploy in a crash. This vehicle has NEVER had the airbags deploy or been in a crash significant enough for the airbags to deploy. I called the local dealership on 2/16/23 and they reported no recalls. They said it is probably a sensor not under warranty and repairs would be $2000. I do not have the money to have this repaired. My life safety is at risk.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Rogue. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for routine maintenance and the mechanic found a failure with the occupant restraint system. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, and the contact was informed that the repair was not covered under warranty or recall. The contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The contact stated that the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V911000 (Air Bags). The approximate failure mileage was 110,000.

The airbag light comes on in the car screen, it was taken for inspection, as stated in the attached invoice and they told us that the entire airbag system had to be changed, it should be noted that the vehicle has never had no accident and we are worried because if we were to have an accident the airbags would not work. Thanks for your help.

The passenger airbag is faulty, the airbag will now not deploy in the case of a collision. Initially before the airbag light was on, the sensor would classify the seat as empty when it wasn't, similar to one of the existing recalls Nissan has on Rogues, that this VIN is not included in. Now it has progressed where the SRS air bag light flickers on regardless of resetting it. This is a safety hazard for my dogs and spouse that go on the passenger front seat.

Air bag light blinking on dashboard and no accident involved.

Nissan Rouge select transmission went in the span of 24 hours. One morning it wouldn’t accelerate past 20 mph, and the next morning it wouldn’t accelerate at all. There were no check engine lights or any other indication that there was a problem before it died, or even after it died. I was told that this model of Nissan did not come standard with a transmission cooling unit as, “Nissan didn’t think they were necessary on a few models of the Rouge, including this one.” Because of this, I needed to get my car towed to Middletown Nissan, where I was told the cost of repairs, tax and labor would cost approximately $4000, and $5000 with the addition of a cooling unit. The day repairs were to be completed, I got a call as I was on my way to the dealership that there was an error in calculation of labor costs, and Nissan wanted to charge me $8700. They ‘lowered the price’ to $6300, and at this point I had been without a car for a week and it was impacting my wife and my ability to work, and my preschool age daughter to go to school(of which i also pay for)

Front passenger seat airbag sensors failed. Airbag light continues to stay on. Dealer rest and sensors failed again several days later. Dealer estimated $6,000+ for repair.

Driver side Car door doesn't open from the inside nor outside. Windows will not go down button on door will not open or lock door.

My vehicle has a sun/moon roof. There are 2 drains that go down the side. The problem is there is a white piece of plastic that has plastic in the center at the bottom of the drain. If this gets clogged it causes the moon roof to leak water all over the interior. When this happened to me I was driving water and fell into my face and eyes. This was very unsafe. To fix the issue I used pliers to remove the inner plastic from the white plastic at the bottom of the drain. This should be recalled because there is no benefit to this center plastic. After water leaves the drain it goes out a 3 inch by 3 inch hole cut into the metal, then falls to the ground. There is no benefit restricting water out these drains. This will cause the sunroof to clog over and over again. This white piece of plastic should be replaced with a part that has no restrictions. This is poor design on Nissan's part. A clogged sun roof can cause water to fall into the drivers face, and it could ruin the interior.

Front passenger seat cushion. front seat passenger occupant classification system may incorrectly classify an adult passenger as a child or classify the seat as empty despite it being occupied. -was not in an accident but I had a diagnostic done. There was a recall for my year car but my VIN was not attached.

The heat does not work. I live in Illinois and the heater/defrost is essential for safely operating the vehicle. With no defrost, my visibility is impaired and it is not safe to drive. When we had our first cold snap a few weeks ago (Nov 2022) I turned on the heater but only cold air blew out. If I had needed to defrost the windows it would not have worked and I would not have felt safe driving. The Nissan service department said it is the heater core case/HVAC and needs to be completely replaced. This is a factory defect and Nissan should issue a recall. There have been several complaints about this problem.

No heating on drivers side. During winter cannot clear windshield for driving. Consider this a safety hazard as we cannot see clearly enough when driving vehicle in inclement or cold weather. Took to mechanic who advised it was a “bend door actuator” that needed replacement. Once he got involved, it turns out to be a stripped plastic gear in the heater box. To replace the heater box, the entire dashboard has to be removed which is unheard of on a 2015 car that has not hit 60k in miles. Bought this new, and car has been garaged and properly maintained since purchase.

My ABS lights come on saying Chassis Control System Error and AWD Error. I took it to Nissan Dealership and they said it was find. Warning signals popping up on my dash board. I took pictures on my phone.

My Airbag sensor light is flashing and I took it to Nissan alhambra. They stated that the ECU and OCS sensor is defected and needs to be replaced. However they can attempt to repair it for 1,890 but it may or may not fix the issue and by tampering with it may cause airbags to deploy and cause bigger problem. It's very unfortunate that I took it to the dealer and they were not able to help. According to KBB and Nhtsa my 2015 nissan rogue is one of the models that have been recalled. I am driving a Nissan and uncertain if my airbags will protect me in an emergency.

Rear power liftgate opens and drops halfway on my head. This is not a one time problem. It's a defective liftgate issue where it opens to the top and then drops halfway every time the liftgate opens.

On approximately October 24, 2022, my 2015 Nissan Rogue Select began having transmission trouble. Specifically, it was lurching and making a grinding noise between first and second gears. It is an automatic so it would actually be between 1200 and 1600 rpms. The local dealership stated there was a recall/extended warranty and placed my vehicle in their shop initially for 15 days between October 27, 2022 and November 10, 2022. The did not offer me a rental vehicle, nor did they fix my vehicle properly. On November 12, 2022, my vehicle leaked out all of the transmission fluid onto my garage floor, creating a hazardous materials incident, which I incurred fees to have properly cleaned up, and had to be towed BACK to Nissan of Bradenton in Manatee County Florida where it remained until November 17, 2022. I have put Nissan North America and Nissan of Bradenton on notice that the vehicle is still performing poorly and exhibiting a safety hazard to myself, my passengers and other vehicles on the road when it lurches out of first and second gear. My vehicle was not able to be used or driven for a total of twenty one (21) days during the calendar year 2022. I consider this significant under the Consumer Protection Act and Florida Lemon Law.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that she noticed that the rear control arm and axle were rusted and had detached. There were no warning lights illuminated. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted but no additional assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.

The spindles (Nissan's word) that control the tailgate fail without warning. when the tailgate is opened from outside or inside it opens all the way but when I step up to the car's rear compartment, the tailgate came down on my head. I took it to the dealership and they told me that the spindles were on back order. That indicates to me that the problem is widespread,

Total CVT transmission failure

On September 18, 2022 our front passenger seatbelt stopped working. Nothing happened to cause it to break, but it locked up and is unable to be used. The earliest I could get an appointment to have it looked at was September 28, 2022. I brought it in that day and was told that the part was being ordered and would arrive within 2-3 days. A week later, after still not hearing from Nissan, I called and was told that the part had been shipped but that there was no delivery information. Another week went by and this time when I called I was told the part was on backorder. I've spoken with Nissan's Consumer Affairs and was told that this would be escalated but it still hasn't been fixed. A broken seatbelt puts anyone in that seat at risk.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled with the check engine warning light and an unknown warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the residence. An independent mechanic diagnosed the vehicle and stated no failure was found. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer and an unknown software was reprogrammed; however, the cause of the failure was not yet determined. The contact was informed that two unknown modules might need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to file a complaint. The failure mileage was 100,000.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while attempting to make a left turn, she depressed the accelerator pedal but the vehicle failed to accelerate. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact stated she also experienced the failure while attempting to move off from a traffic light. The contact stated she had experienced the failure ten times. The contact took the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the CVT transmission to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 106,000.

The passenger front seatbelt is locked and cannot be used. Was working fine day before then went to use it and it was locked. My mechanic checked it out and stated that I needed a new retractor. I think this should be covered by the Nissan manufacuture, as it is a safety issue. My car is seven years old and only has 54,000 miles. I have had two other new cars, which both have lasted me for 16 years each and I have never had any problems with the seats belts at all. I would appreciate your assistance to have them repair this issue ASAP., as it is a safety issure that should not have occured. Thank you Toni Smiles

Hatchback lift shocks are corroded and do not work. Hatchback door is heavy to lift manually and I am afraid I will get hurt. I believe there's a recall on the hatchback lift shocks.

This car has to recall : CVT recall and fire hazard recall I was driving the car to the stadium and sitting on a traffic not even driving all the sudden the gas pedal stopped responding so the car does not drive even when I accelerate. I had to pull over open the hood then wait 20 minutes while trucking on the way I decide to try again then the car run. I took the car to a Nissant Dealership to be told that they cannot fix it because the title is branded.

My horn stopped working and my airbag light came on. Now I don’t know if my airbag is going to randomly deploy. The dealership wants more than $600 to fix this faulty part and there are several forums suggesting that this is a known problem. How can a single mother keep herself and her teen driver’s safe while driving this car?

Leaving Walgreens & my car won’t start (I just bought a new battery a month ago). Called a friend for jump start & it took it awhile to start (5-10 minutes). While driving home my steering locked up twice & the stereo cut out a couple times. It also chugged a couple times like it was going to die. Once home and shut off - the doors won’t lock.

I would like to know when the remedy will be ready for NHTSA RECALL 22V-024. I called Nissan today and was told they didn't have a date. They escalated my concern about driving a vehicle that a fire could start in and where would I be if that happened. It is not possible for me to not drive as I commute 40 minutes to work. Will Nissan replace my vehicle if it catches fire? The recall notification said the fix would be available Spring 2022. This was far from an inexpensive vehicle and I am not currently in a position to not drive it or have it catch fire.

2015 NISSAN ROGUE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO VEHICLE COLLECTING WATER WHEN IT RAINS. THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME DETERMINING A FIX FOR THE WATER LEAK.

Car seat was removed from car to be cleaned and set in ground. The base of car seat fell off and springs and buttons popped out. The springs and buttons are those used to adjust recline of seat. Upon further inspection and comparison to identical seat purchased at same time, but different color, the broken seat had no screws holding in base of seat. The intact seat I compared it to had 8 star head screws in the base holding it onto the frame. I have never seen any screws on the actual seat of my car, I was unable to locate any screws on the ground where I set the car seat down to clean it.

Seat removed from car for cleaning and set on ground gently (as always) and the bottom of the seat just fell off. When the bottom fell off, springs popped out and the buttons to adjust the seats recline came out of place. The seat was inspected and compared to our other seat of the same make/model (different padding colors) bought on the same day in September of 2021. When We compared the seats we noticed there are 8 Star shaped screws holding on the bottom piece of the car seat. There were no screws seen on the ground or in the car. The screw holes on the car seat the bottom popped off of do not appear to be damaged. I have never found screws in my car or on the ground on the maybe 5 times thr car seat has been taken out of my car for cleaning or needed for space to haul something in my vehicle. The car seat has never been traveled with on airplane or removed/moved without me being the one to do it. The only conclusion I can come to about this is that the screws were never in place to begin with. There is just no other explanation. The car seats have never been moved without me being the one to do it and at no time have I found random screws laying around that could have come from the seat. The consumer had to purchase a new car seat. They have also been in communication with a representative from Britax.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that the passenger’s side seat belt failed to extend and seized in the retracted position. The dealer was notified of the failure and provided an estimate for a diagnostic test. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 92,000.

The dealer was made aware of the issue. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

The cvt transmission died at 98,000 miles. Stalled I’m the middle of driving. Nissan extended the manufacture warranty to 84,000 to cover the cvt replacement but the transmissions are going out after this mileage.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Rogue The contact stated while driving 70 MPH on the highway, he started losing power, and the vehicle started to deaccelerate to 50 MPH. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact pulled over to check the vehicle. The contact restarted the vehicle and drove home. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The mileage was 107,000.

I bought the vehicle at 24,000 miles in 2015. at 40,000 miles I went in for the normal oil change and was told that the transmission was bad and needed replaced. Nissan replaced it. When I purchased the car I was given an extended warranty. I'm now at 116,000 miles and it loses acceleration power when driving (currently not being driven), and then all of a sudden the rpms jump up and it will go, causing danger while driving. It also makes a very loud whining noise. Had it towed to dealership and they diagnosed as bad transmission. Extended warranty is not wanting to cover. This is the second nissan I've bought that has had to have transmissions replaced due to the same failure. It is dangerous that so many are having this issue and Nissan won't issue a recall for the transmission that they are putting out to the public know that they are dangerous. I could've easily had a wreck or been rear-ended because of Nissan's failure. I also am a healthcare traveler that is over 1200 miles away from home without a vehicle now.
