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.

I have had to repair the rear window for leaking water through 2x. It is still a factory window but significant amounts of water was leaking. I had it repaired 2x, re-glued. But it is similar to the recall for the side door for the rogue. The water leaking caused electrical problems (doors lock/unlock on own, etc) but must've stopped once it was dry. The date listed is for the last repair but was repaired a few years prior also.

The hydraulics (?) in my manual lift gate suddenly failed. The hatchback slammed shut, and I barely ducked away in time. I was shaking.I thank God that my grandchildren weren’t the one retrieving an item. They could have been killed or paralyzed. I saw that Nissan recalled the Rogue for tailgate problems, but was told my vehicle wasn’t covered. (Nissan Case #44796538). This defect means no one can use my cargo space without risking life and limb. This happened approximately the first week in September. No warnings. Anyone is welcome to inspect my car. In my decades of car ownership, I have never had this happen on any vehicle. Scary.

Hood was inadvertently released by driver due to hood latch release's location next to the fuel door release. Driver then pulled out of gas station onto street. While traveling under 15 miles per hour and within a block, the hood flew upward, obscuring the driver's view, causing damage to the hood, fenders, and cowl filler pieces. Damage has been inspected by the insurance appraiser/body shop manager, who confirmed the hood release safety latch was "frozen" and only became operative after manually manipulating it several times. The same individual mentioned this was the second Rogue in less than a year where he had noted hood damage, again without affecting the windshield or the roof. Cause of damage in that case was only learned after the appraiser had questioned the driver and the driver mentioned that the hood had flown up in a prior unrelated incident.

Due to covid, working from home, shopping solely online and have virtual medical appointments. Rarely use car and it sat undriven for weeks. Water accumulating in moonroof drain caused hazardous mold issue in car interior. Was not warned and dealer did not apparently check drains. Have breathing issues and mold is a health issue. I believe this is a design flaw and health hazard. At minimum buyers should be warned this can happen. It is nowhere in owners or service manuals. Repair is approx 1/3 price of a new car. Insurance does not cover. Check drains during routine maintenance visits.

On the trunk door, there is rusting, especially around the nissan emblem. On the top of the trunk door, on the spoiler, there is a lot of rusting and scratches started to appear out of nowhere, some of them are very small and better noticed when looking closely or zooming in on a photo. Surface feels rough. The vehicle has not been taken to any car wash places. The scratches and rusting seem to only appear at this spot. My other vehicles, including another nissan, have all been taken care the same way and they do not have this type of rusting. The rusting was first noticed in late spring during covid-19 quarantine when the vehicle was not driven much, and it appears to have gotten worse since then. Nissan called this a "color distortion", which I do not believe it is since the surface feels rough. I talked to a color specialist and he is certain that it was a manufacturing issue. I also did research about other nissan owners having the same issue, and it seems to be common. A vehicle should not start rusting like this only 5 years in use.

4 passengers in our awd rouge (2015), with a panoramic sunroof, were driving on 1-85 from las vegas, nv back to salt lake city, ut on 12/08/2019, in the county of beaver about 30 miles from fillmore, ut, at about 75 MPH (80 MPH interstate speed zone), when all of the sudden, we hear a loud crashing sound. There were no vehicles around us on the road, so we were all extremely terrified. The car had become very loud at that point, and we immediately pulled over to side of the road. We found that the panoramic sunroof had combusted, literally spontaneously. It was completely wrecked and for no reason at all. We took it to a small service station as soon as we could, but we were in the middle of small towns when this happened. All they were able to do was allow us to vacuum up the glass. A few of us had cuts on our bodies, so we bandaged those up while there as well. We called insurance, there were no other cars involved fortunately, as there were no other vehicles closely around us when it exploded. The insurance company said we would have to pay a $1,000 deductible for the incident to be repaired. Obviously, this was concerning because this was nothing of our doing. This was simply because of the poor design of the sunroof, and has happened to others as well. Nissan should pay for the damage, and in fact, should re-call all vehicles with sunroofs to install a better designed sunroof with appropriate glass. Had we had our soft top inside open, there is no telling what would or could have happened as we were driving at an interstate speed. After reviewing the other stories of this happening, this needs to be rectified immediately for the safety of drivers with sunroofs with this design before something fatal happens. I will be joining the class-action lawsuit already open on this exact scenario that has happened to several other people.

The passenger door doesn't latch properly. Whenever someone leans on the door, it causes the warning lights and the interior lights to turn on.this happens whether or not the car is in motion. It's terrifying.

While driving on i94 in wisconsin my sunroof exploded. I wasn't behind any trucks and I didn't go under any bridge. I heard I huge bang and when I looked up my sunroof was in millions of tiny bits. When I pressed on it, cause I didn't know what happened, the glass came falling down on me and all over my car.

No incident yet but the front hood is beginning to corrode and the corrosion is creeping up on the underside of the hood. We have contacted nissan without success. There has been no resolution.

Bumpers are not secure. They use a plastic shielding that do not properly protect against bad accidents. Most vehicles barely have protective bumpers, putting people's lives at risk. Every year, new models bring less front and rear accident impact protection. It is a good deal for manufacturers and insurance companies, but not for customers. On january 2017, I suffered an accident where my front "bumper" needed to be fixed, but my dealership charged me for about $5,500.00to replace a "protective plastic shielding" and the compressor. Now mi insurance companies are charging me a lot to renew my policies. *tt

I bought this 2015 nissan rogue sl brand new, with the plastic still on it. Since I've owned it I have had nothing except problems with the drivers seat. Namely the frame of the seat has been replaced 2 times. The plastic covering on the side of the seat with the power seat controls has been replaced 3 times. The latest this past week. Then the chrome molding on top of the drivers door keeps coming off and has been replaced 3 times. Then back to the seat issue. I might add that the plastic part of at the botton of the passenger seat on the side is now needing replaced. As far as the drivers seat goes, when accelerating or stopping, it clicks. So I expect that the frame will need to be replaced again soon. The only problem with this is that the dealership where the car was bought is getting tired of fixing this stuff. They have told me that they are not sure how many more times nissan will warranty this stuff out. We shall see. With all my issues, I am not so sure I want to keep this rogue sl for the duration of the loan. Let alone purchase another nissan vehicle.

I was driving south on military trail preparing to turn right at pipers glen. The light was green and there was a white car in the middle lane waiting to enter military. I slowed down to make my turn and suddenly my car accelerated. If I continued to turn there was no doubt I would have hit the waiting car. I proceeded straight, passed this car and drove onto a grassy area. My front wheel hit the curb which slowed my car but pushed me along the side of the white car causing damage to both cars. The fire trucks came and a police car. Since no one was hurt I was instructed to leave my car there to be towed . My son picked me up and I called the towing co. About 1 hour later I was called and told the tow was on the way. When we arrived to where my car was I was surprised to see the front lights on. There was a motor noise and the hood was hot . Whenwe left the car there it was locked and the motor was not on. If this were not the case I would not have been able to lock this car having a keyless entry. I am concerned about ever driving this car with less than 10,000 miles. I called both nissan and the repair company and reported what happened. They told me they would scan the car but sometimes nothing shows up. I use military trail almost every day and pipers glen leads to my home. I am happy that no one was hurt but haunted by realizing what may have happened if I attemped to make that right turn.both these roads are city streets.I have no picturesexcept for my memory.

Vehicle side window glass rattles and shakes when windows are partially open. They are not secured properly into door frame. Could lead to window breaking or exploding at speed, causing heavy distraction and potential accident. Rattle varies between windows (in my vehicle, drivers window is worst), so it looks like a variance in production of vehicle. The higher the speed, the more the window shakes.

My nissan rogue has a vibration issue that is noticeable when the car is resting at a red light, and while driving. You can see the passenger chair vibrating and the dashbard is noticeable when my GPS unit is mounted onto it. I took it to bayridge nissan inc, in brooklyn, ny -this is the dealer that I purchased rogue from , don't know if this problem is a safety defect . Dealership says no fix for it.
