I drove my car home, turned it off, went into my house to change, went to leave approximately 30 min later and the car wouldn’t start. Brought to Nissan dealership. Who indicated that multiple u1000 codes stored due to no communication with ecm. Burning smell from ecm connector and fans on high. Required ecm. They then further stated ipdm fuses had blackened, ipdm inoper. The ecm was covered by warranty but the ipdm was not covered. Blackening seems to be indicative of burning.

When making a left turn the car lost power and the steering wheel jerked to the right (it was all split second). It regained power right after losing power. Also a few days before the steering lost power, my radio went off and came back on right after...like it rebooted itself automatically. The radio has done this a few times. I'm VERY afraid and concerned that my car will catch on fire one day.

I am writing because I received a letter stating that this would be resolve and new parts would be available by Spring or June 2022. This has not happened yet, and it is August 2022. I would like to know when new parts are going to be available for repair. I am afraid to drive my vehicle because of what might happen. My Toyota Rogue did the same thing and caught on fire. I was forced to buy another vehicle.

Saturday 08/06/2022 my 2016 Nissan Rogue caught fire as I was driving down a side street in Adrian, MI. 49221. Lights came on on my dash, it appeared to be every warning light, the car jerked me over as if I lost power steering and the car took over, my son and I could smell something hot. I put the vehicle in park as flames were coming from the engine compartment, my son was able to open his door and get out, my driver side door would not open and I had to climb out the driver side window! The fire department was called and after they were able to put out the fire as I watched my car literally melting, they told me it was an electrical fire. My car was then towed to Clift Buick GMC in Adrian, Michigan.

Been dealing with an issue of the driver side window failing. It has failed three separate times in the past year and remain stuck inside the driver side door unable to go back up. Twice during winter once in the summer. I had to wait weeks during the winter to get the window remedied with a newborn and a 3 year old. They both happened during blizzards where I was forced to figure out how to get my family home safely with window stuck down during a 2 separate winter storms. My dashboard lights are now all lit up , no AWD, traction control, cruise, and a check engine light now. Have had 1 year and had nothing but issues. Now we’re down to one vehicle so my wife drives this vehicle and drops me off at work and drives our children around. The smell of burning plastic is starting to happen and we feel unsafe with our children in this car. The next step will most likely be the fire that was mentioned as an issue from this known problem and we are already smelling the burning driving. We have reached out to dealers and anyone who would listen. We were told no loaner vehicle and to drive it until it catches fire with our kids inside…. All figure it out and wait for the recall fix to come “eventually”. We are out of choices and feel unsafe in this vehicle. We have been provided no solutions, this is our only vehicle, and we still are paying monthly on it even in this condition.
