2015 Nissan Rogue: won't start

Filed Dec 2, 2025 · Electrical · UT

Once a year my car won't start, I get it towed to a dealership and they always say nothing is wrong but recommend getting a new battery even though the battery is not failing. So every year they try to get me to buy a new battery and warranty won't cover my battery because its not failing. I've had them run other test like parasitic draw and they say they find nothing. Every year I deal with this issue and have to deal with getting my car towed and usable for a couple days then magically starts working.

To Whom It May Concern, I am filing a vehicle safety complaint regarding a sudden and complete failure of the Body Control Module (BCM) in my 2015 Nissan Rogue. This failure has resulted in a complete "no-start" condition, rendering the vehicle inoperable without warning. The problem occurred on or about [Date of Breakdown, if known]. The vehicle would not start, despite the ignition powering on. A professional diagnosis was performed, which confirmed that the Body Control Module had failed and was not sending the required signal to the Intelligent Power Distribution Module (IPDM) to allow the vehicle to start. The technician's notes state: "FOUND NO SIGNAL FROM BCM TO IPDM TO START VEHICLE." I have since learned that this is a known manufacturer issue, documented in Nissan Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) NTB16-024, titled "No Start, MIL ON, DTC U1000, U1010, C110A, P1614, P1615, P1630, P1631 (Reprogram BCM or Replace IPDM)." The diagnosis and attempted repair on my vehicle perfectly match the procedure outlined in this TSB. Safety Concern: While a"no-start" condition may not seem like a traditional safety hazard, the sudden and unpredictable nature of this failure presents a significant safety risk. A vehicle that becomes completely inoperable without warning can strand drivers and passengers in potentially dangerous situations, such as: · In the middle of intersections or busy roadways. · In isolated areas with no access to help. · During extreme weather conditions (extreme heat, cold, storms). · While transporting individuals with medical needs. The failure of a critical electronic component like the BCM, which is responsible for numerous vehicle functions, at only 50,000 miles indicates a serious and potentially widespread defect in materials or workmanship. I am requesting that the federal safety agency investigate this failure pattern in 2014-2016 Nissan Rogue vehicles.existence of a TSB and numerous complaints from other owners online suggest a major defect.

I was driving at approximately 25mph in a subdivision and my car turned off. I pulled over immediately to try to crank it but it would not crank. I noticed smoke coming from the engine so I exited the vehicle with my child. The smoke got way worse within a few minutes and then the front engine was engulfed in flames.

Won't start stuck in the middle of a storm

Filed Mar 22, 2018 · Engine · 31,500 miles · MA

My nissan rogue is 2 years old with 31,500 miles. I was accelerating onto the highway on rt 2, near exit 59 in massachusetts on tuesday 3/20, and the engine in the car turned off while accelerating, going about 55 MPH. I was able to pull over to the shoulder safely. I tried multiple times to restart the car, but the engine was completely dead. I had the car towed to marlboro nissan, where I purchased the car. They confirmed that the car still would not start when it arrived at the dealership. The next day, it started and they could not replicate the issue. They want me to take the car home with no explanation and no fix. I feel completely unsafe getting back behind the wheel of a car where an engine just turns off for no reason. I am told by nissan corporate consumer affairs that they will not be able to help if they can't replicate the issue a second time. This is dangerous, and I am at a loss with what to do next. Getting back in that car on a highway puts not only myself, but other drivers around me at risk for a fatal accident.

I have to take out the fob and re-sync to get the vehicle to pick up the key. Very odd. The vehicle was not on...stationary.
