The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at 20 MPH, the vehicle shut off as a key fob warning symbol appeared on the instrument panel. Due to the failure, the vehicle was initially towed to an independent mechanic and was later towed to the dealer. Two separate diagnostics were performed on the vehicle; however, they were unable to determine the cause of the failure. The dealer later informed the contact that a defective belt located underneath the dashboard may have caused the failure. The mechanic gave the contact an estimate for the repair but warned that the repair may not fix the failure. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

My car key fob is in perfect working conditions with no defect. I was told by a person my key fob, would ve deactivated if it wasn't repaired. My fob work just fine, and my bigger concern is that my alarm with locking my car is associated with my fob. My safety of car jacking and theft is larger if my fob is deactivated. I dont have a broken fob. So if my car can't lock and it gets stolen, I will sue Nissan, and and will go after those who can't just change or replace the gobs with some thing updated.

My battery completely drained around 24,000 miles, my car just hit 31,000 miles. My air bag light stays on continuously, after this happened my drivers side window quit working, worked fine no noise or anything, then 1 minute later quit working. The lock, unlock button on the outside door handle quits working at times. The remote, key fob doesn't work all the time even after replacing the battery in it. At least 1 to 2 times a week my radio and navigation system won't come on when I start my cars, I have to turn off the car 2 to 3 times to get it to start working. Sometimes the power tailgate won't work for days at a time with the button inside the car. Sometimes the button to start the car does nothing, just have to keep trying. Random warning lights will come on while driving then just turn off. Sometimes both myself and others in the car smell something electrical burning. All of this started within a few days of each incident.
