Drove home, while attempting to park, (car was in motion) vehicle stalled & steering locked, lights on dash flicked off, radio went off then came back on. This happened 4 times while I attempted to park. Finally parked vehicle successfully & turned car off. This happened several times in recent months but only for a few seconds also on another occasion was unable to turn steering wheel once vehicle was on. Tonight was the worst experience, alarming. I plan to take SUV in for check up tomorrow.

I was told by dealer it was the reg gas i put in the tank but then got carfax history and seen a mechanic and was told transmission is bad the light is on dash. At 25mph the rpm jumps up and down. Gas tank reads incorrectly.

While driving on a highway, the car caught fire under the hood near the driver's side headlight. The headlight was replaced the day before the incident. The headlight worked when installed but was not working by the next evening. The driver's side headlights have needed replacing more often than the passenger headlight (a 3:1 ratio or a 4:1 ratio). That ratio may indicate an electrical problem. Headlight bulb was a napa bp1255/h11ll-n. Our car took an h11 bulb. The ll stands for long life.

The passenger side front door open alarm remains on as does the interior lights. We have replaced the battery within the last month. We have cleaned all the components of the front door hinges and locks and the alarm remains on as do the interior lights. This happens when the vehicle is parked or moving.

There is a problem with the clock spring in the steering wheel. There are several people who have posted on the internet the same problem ( this was how I discovered it was the clock spring). None of the controls on the steering wheel work as well as the horn does not work. When you turn the steering wheel all the way to the left ( I relieve it's to the left) the horn will then work. I find this to be a safety issue since I can not alert another driver using my horn. I'm less concerned about the controls on the steering wheel working. From the research I have completed I am not sure if this problem affects the air bag or not. I believe there is a wire hook up to the air bag.

This last time to the nissan in my area, I had them look at my passenger airbag sensor, as the sensor indicates off, even if there is no weight on the seat. My service advisor and the head of the service department both said that it's not clear if the airbags will deploy if the sensor is off. They said I could get it replaced, but the issue is: it will cost $2,600 because they need to replace the whole seat. Come to find out, this is actually an issue reported to the federal safety agency from other 2011 rogue owners. I am the primary driver in my family, but now I am worried to transport anyone. It doesn't look like there has been a recall, but this is an issue that can cause me to sell my vehicle and not get another nissan. I am now worried of getting into an accident and knowing full well my airbags, the one thing built into the vehicle to keep people safe, may or may not deploy, and may or may not keep people safe. $2,600 to fix a car defect isn't an option for me. Planning a funeral for someone who chooses to ride in my front seat isn't an option either. I am truly at a loss for what to do next, but I am heartbroken that it's come down to those two options. I wanted to keep my rogue for a few years more - I love it, but safety is my number one priority. I wish safety was a priority to nissan to make this a recall, but it seems like profits have surpassed customer safety. The sensor has been on for months, but the first time they said there was nothing that could be done.

My vehicle gets water on the driver's side floor, up to an inch and causes electrical issues. Nissan stated they fixed the issue but did not deal my vehicle and it's not their problem after the first fix. Water is there when driving, parked or any time the road is wet or raining.

Electrical function in the vehicle it's like it has a shortage in it. When I plug my GPS or my phone it would go out, and not charging. Also the USB portal also goes out. This is happens when the car is driving or when it's park.

My car would not start up. All gauges were fluttering and flickering, door locks were locking and unlocking rapidly, then the car went dead. Gave it jump and it started. Next day it died again, gave it a jump and it started. While I was driving it shut off suddenly and completely, giving me no time to steer. The car was dead again. Replaced the battery and problem still exists. Very dangerous to be driving and have the car just stop completely. I'm lucky I wasn't hit.

Yesterday I was driving to work in the city took a left hand turn onto a busy street beside the highway and all of a sudden my steering wheel took control and pulled the wheel to the right I nearly crashed into a guard rail. I pulled the wheel back to the left and was absolutely freaked out by what had happened. Last evening all of a sudden I turn my car off go into a store come out an hour later and nothing at all when I turned the ignition key. No lights no dash lights no noise at all is was as if battery was completely dead. New battery installed 4 months ago. I thought I may have left something on and caused the battery to drain, however, a few minutes later the car dashboard lights up on its own with the key still in the ignition but not turned on to the start position. I turned the key and the car started. This morning I went to leave for work, same thing car absolutely dead. I checked under hood, thought perhaps loose cables to the battery. I checked and saw no loose cables I wiped around the area with a paper towel got back in car turned key and the car started. I drive to work in boston park the car in my employee parking garage and get out of the car and went to automatically lock the doors and nothing. No security light on inside of the car, totally dead again! I'm wondering if this is an issue with many other nissan's as I read online many complaints of this same issue. Has there been a recall for this issue? What is the issue? I need to get this resolved please. I can't have a vehicle that is undependable especially when I am making car payments on this vehicle every month. It is rather scary that this may be an electrical or steering issue for safety reasons. The car went out of control on its own yesterday.

Door locks throughout the vehicle do not lock/unlock as they should automatically (driver side door and both back passenger doors). Have to manually lock/unlock. In case of an emergency of an accident/fire etc., the doors wouldn't unlock in order to get infants, toddlers and young children out of the vehicle in a hurry. If I were being followed/stalked, I wouldn't be able to lock all my doors for my own safety. Belongings in my vehicle are at risk. Please issue a recall to get this safety issue resolved as soon as possible. Just look at the lock problems on all forums on the internet with various nissan models. Estimate of $500 per door to fix each actuator is insane. I do not have over $2,000 to fix something that should be recalled and fixed by nissan. At first, I wasn't sure what was going on. After leaving/locking the vehicle and then returning, one of my passengers would pull on their door or I'd pull on the door handle on the driver side and my alarm would go off. I had locked/alarmed the car when existing but the doors were not actually locked so when you returned to the vehicle and pulled on door handle you were able to open the door (due to lack of lock actually locking) which caused the alarm to sound. Paying closer attention to see if in fact the locks were locking/unlocking which they were not. When I arrive at destinations, turn the vehicle off, the doors remain locked and I manually have to unlock before I can exit the vehicle is another incident in which I realized there was a problem.
