Headlights failing or too dim by model year
What owners say
I was driving at night on a backroad highway & noticed the driver headlight out so I started used my brights, then noticed smoke & flames coming from the driver side headlight I immediately pulled over called 911 & tried pouring water on it myself while I wait. Took about 8 mins for police & maybe 12-15 for fire department. The police tried to use a fire extinguisher which did not work, by the time fire department got there the whole car was completely up in flames & burnt to the ground.
Vehicle was in motion, on a country rd. There was a smell, almost like if windshield washer fluid spills, then smoke from under the hood. Then flames on the right front, under the hood. I pulled over, turned the car off, grabbed my purse and ran. 2 good samaritans pulled over and just happened to have a fire extinguisher and were able to put it out. The whole right headlight was melted away.
I was driving on a highway and noticed heavy smoke coming from the front passenger side by the headlights. I pulled over and fire started shooting up. I was told 'it's electrical and nothing to do with the front end that was being worked on' which was 4 days prior. Also I was told there's no recall on that particular area.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 nissan rogue. The contact stated that there was a substantial amount of water in the passenger side headlight. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the headlight needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 60,000.
While parking the vehicle the smell smoke was emanating. At once the hood popped opened and fire ensued from the drivers side near the headlights fire was beginning to spread. Fortunately a good samaritan neighbor went to one of the nearby establishments and obtained a fire extinguisher and put out the fire.
