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.

Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 66 of 66, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My car engine light came on and the light made like a car with tire tracks behind it and got it tow because it wouldn't crank, and had a diagnostic test and it showed a problem with ECM
Car won't turn on randomly. We have replaced the battery five times. Each time the car randomly stops working every few thousand miles. The car will take ten or eleven tries to start. This is extremely dangerous. If for any reason we ever needed to leave the car cannot start quickly. It happens randomly, not all the time (sometimes it starts fine after one turn, the next time it could take five minutes to finally start, then go back to fine). No one has been able to tell us what is the cause of this defect.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan rogue. The contact stated that the "check steering lock" message appeared and a chime was heard after turning the ignition to shut off the vehicle. The contact had not experienced the steering wheel locking upon turning off or restarting the vehicle. An independent mechanic stated that there was no steering lock function. The dealer (modern nissan of winston salem, 5795 university pkwy, winston-salem, nc 27105, (336) 767-8260) inspected the vehicle, but did not provide a diagnosis. The dealer stated that there was no steering lock function; therefore, they were unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 45,000.
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.
Beginning in november of 2017, acceleration began to have issues. When accelerating, the car would drag and hesitate before fully dropping into gear. All other components worked fine. I would allow the car to heat up 10-15 minutes in the morning and that did not help. Shortly after, each time I step on the gas, the engine revs tremendously despite the slightest acceleration. The pin will not move then move quickly causing a grinding/buzzing sound between 2k & 3k before feeling like it drops I tom gear, even at 15-25mph. This problem continues, but the cause can no to be diagnosed. In january of 2018, the warning lights on the dashboard came on and the car lost acceleration. Upon taking it to the mechanic, I was told everything tested fine, the software simply needed to be reset. After resetting, the light has not returned, but the acceleration issue has not changed. In march of 2018 after experiencing another abrupt slow-down on a side street, I parked the car and smelled a burning of some type of fluid upon getting out of the car. Once the initial smell dispersed, no sign of damage, leaking, or other issue was present. In april of 2018, no further acceleration issues have occurred, but the warning lights again came on. Again, nothing was diagnosed, it was said there was some type of software issue and simply needed to be reset again. Shortly after, the AC unit completely stopped working. I turned off the car, restarted and the system came back on, but no matter what blows out hot air which is hotter often than if the heat is turned on full blast. The car has been well maintained and undergone regularly schedule maintenance and has 84k miles. My mechanic ran the VIN and there's were no open recalls, however, the car was just diagnosed with an 'electrical issue.'
Lift gate rusted around the emblems and tail lights within one year - they replaced it. Less than 8 months later it started rusting again - they replaced it. Is now rusting again and they will not do anything. Blows heat through the vents when all controls are off and temperature is set to the coolest setting. Latest issue is I was driving my kids home at night and when I tried to accelerate from a stop light the vehicle only moved slowly at the RPM went above 4,000 almost causing me to get rear ended. Eventually I could get to 50 MPH but anything over that and the RPM's would race over 4,000. Took it to the dealership and am being told the transmission is shot and it will cost $3,500 and I only have 95,000 miles on it!
Turning out on road vehicle lost acceleration and then lost all acceleration. No warning , no engine light. Pushed back to house and towed to nissan. Cvt transmission was the problem and spent roughly 200 to tow and second diagnostic which nissan wanted to do . Total quote 4460.00. It concerns me that there was no prior warning to this. Just went out with the whole family in car.
On january 23, 2015 there was a recall of my vehicle. I was not notified by my dealer of the recall. I just saw it today when checking my credit karma account. My nissan dealership should have inspected the kick panel wiring harness connector on my car for damage. If no damage was detected, my vehicle was supposed to receive a waterproof seal for the harness. If damage was found, the dealer was to install a new harness connector and the waterproof seal.
At approximately 6:30am, I woke up to my vehicle alarm sounding. The vehicle did not respond to the remote when I attempted to shut it off. I went to check what was the problem as the vehicle was parked in the driveway. The vehicle was on fire. Fdny was called to put out the fire.
Out of no where my driver door stopped responding to the button on the key or open switch inside. In order to properly lock or unlock my car I must manually insert the key . This happened out of no where. At first I though the batter died on the key so I replaced it and nothing.

2013 nissan rogue. Consumer writes in regards to wiring harness connector recall notice and right rear axle repairs. *smd also, there was a noise coming from the right side of the vehicle. The dealer replaced the right rear axle. However, the noise continued.
Per the federal safety agency recall 15v‑032: we took our vehicle in to our nissan dealer - continental nissan, anchorage, alaska to have this recall addressed. This was done last month. At that time they said they did not have the waterproof seal required to fix an undamaged piece, nor harnesses to fix a problem piece. At that time, they said they "checked it out" but would call us back as soon as parts arrived. They have our information, but in over four weeks have yet to contact us. Since this is a safety recall, parts should have been expedited for our vehicle (as well as others) and we should have been contacted quickly to resolve this issue. Since this has not been done and we were brushed off with the initial contact, I am filing this complaint as nissan --- and this dealer are not complying with the notice.
Recall 15v‑032.

1st electrical problem started while driving on highway when on vacation august 2014. Navigational system and radio would not work. Steering wheel if sharp turn made a loud noise. Happened for 1 day and then everthing worked again. 9/24/14 my nissan rogue 2013 was now completely dead and had to manually unlock door. Called aaa who jump started vehicle and stated replacing battery would not solve problem. The aaa mechanic stated there was an electrical problem....something continued to drain the battery even after the jump start. Brought to coastal nissan where I was told the vehicle tested fine and did not have an electrical problem. Never was I informed there are complaints from other owners of intermittent electrical problems and the rogue not starting. My vehicle is almost at the end of its warranty. 10/21/14 coming out of the garage late last night when making sharp turns the steering wheel make loud noises. When I arrived home the driver's side window would not go up. This morning the vehicle made a clicking noise but the engine would not start. The drivers' side window will not go up or down although the lights and other windows work. Declined aaa jumpstart since this has been intermittent and I needed coastal nissan to not be able to deny any problem. After checking on line it appears many other nissan owners are having similar problems. It is very important to have an agency like your's to ensure others are aware of safety issues and defects in vehicles. I also contacted the consumer affairs at nissan per the emails I saw from other owners. If anyone else has this intermittent electrical problem just have vehicle towed so nissan cannot deny a problem or fail to address and fix it.
I was traveling on a blacktop road with a vehicle in front of my vehicle about 4 car lengths ahead. I had to suddenly stop to avoid a deer on my right side. I hit the car in front of me which was turning left but had no blinker lights or brake showing . Air bag on steering wheel did not deploy until after the car stopped and I was getting out of vehicle. Side air bags came out but had no air in them..updated 11/03/14 *bf..updated 11/18/14 *bf updated 5/7/2015 *js updated 08/30/2017
A day before the incident, the malfunction light came on in my car on the dashboard. The next day, about one mile from home, I stopped on a hill at a traffic light with several cars ahead of me. When the light turned green, I moved my foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator and the car started rolling backward. It would not go into drive even though the gear was in drive. After trying once more unsuccessfully to get the car to move forward, I put the car in park, put on my flashers and turned the engine off. I restarted the car, and put the gear in drive and it went forward but somewhat haltingly. I slowly proceeded to the nissan dealer about 2 miles away. Each time I stopped at a traffic light, the engine sounded funny. Today, the nissan dealer informed me that there is an electrical problem in the transmission that they can't repair. Nissan USA is replacing the transmission under warranty. I find this outrageous that a newly purchased car of 5 months with less than 5, 000 miles has a defective transmission.
This vehicle model year 2013 is missing the hood insulator that is present in every previous model year. Nissan was contacted to provide an explanation as to why this safety feature has been removed from the 2013 year models. The only explanation offered was that it is discontinued but fail to provide the reasons why a safety feature has been removed.
