My car was parked in my driveway without being used for almost a day and caught on fire. The fire started in the driver side where the harness supposedly got changed and went up. Thank God the fire department got there when they did my car would have exploded into my house and neighbors house. When calling nissan to aware of problem they took zero accountability. My car had zero issues I took it regularly to get checked and things replaced. So sadden to have lost my car all of a sudden. There was times that my car would turn off for a second and turn back on. Definitely had an electrical shortage which was not fixed by the original recall.

I was driving home and smelled burning rubber or plastic coming from my vent while my heat was on. The smell got stronger and stronger. I turn the heat off and only smelled it a little. I parked my vehicle and I am now in search of a mechanic.

We last used the car at 2:30pm and parked it in our driveway. It was stationary and unused for about 4.5 hours. At about 7pm we heard the horn go off. It was a steady blowing of the horn. I opened the front door, realized it was our car, and grabbed my keys to start the car to see if that would make the horn stop. When I opened the drivers door of the car I saw the orange flames and thick black smoke. I ran into the house, had my wife call 911 and I grabbed the house fire extinguisher. The fire started on the drivers side of the car either right below the steering wheel or on the left sidewall where the driver's left leg would rest. I did my best putting out the flames from the drivers side but had to go to the riders side to put out the left panel by the drivers legs. The fire was probably 95% put out when the fire department and police department showed. Because the front hood release latch was severely damaged by the fire the fire department had to force the hood open to check for fire in the engine compartment. The fire department also removed parts of dashboard that were burnt to check behind to make sure the fire was out. It was towed away about an hour later. The car was "totaled" a week later by my insurance company.*dt

A month ago I was having acceleration issues with my vehicle. I was at a traffic light and could not make the left turn because my vehicle would not accelerate. I was able to pull my vehicle to the side of the road and had it towed. I brought it to nissan and paid almost $5k for a new transmission. (2nd transmission replacement in the last 3 years). A month later having same acceleration issue, nissan a week later said I needed a fuel pump. Drove home from the dealership after paying another $915 and my vehicle is giving off a burning smell, making horrible noise which wasn't present previously and struggling to drive.

The 2013 nissan rogue was stationary in a parking lot and caught on fire a few minutes after the engine was turned off. The vehicle only had about 77,000 miles on it when this happened. The vehicle was looked at by an engineering company and suggested that the fire was caused in the engine area.

I started my car one day and started to smell something burning. I saw no smoke and immediately shut the car off. I went into my home and got my husband to come and check the car. He started it up and the burning smell continued. Again, we immediately shut the car off. My rogue was parked in my driveway and this was the first time that day I went to use my car. My husband advised to leave the car alone and take his truck. The next day we went out to check onto the car and it started right up with no burning smell but my "check engine" and "ABS" lights stayed on. I had to contact nissan corporation twice just to get someone to return my calls. I had to file a complaint with my nys attorney general's office to get nissan's attention only to receive a letter telling my my particular vehicle was not under recall and they wouldn't help. How can an electrical problem when something obviously burned not be their responsibility? I have had my car regularly serviced at my local nissan dealer and have less than 60000 miles. The car still sits unusable in my driveway.
