Last week - while I was driving the power steering went midway - I had to swerve from an on coming car and it took both me and my step father to gain control . I took it to a mechanic and He noted it was the power steering motor was defective and needed to be replaced . I bought this car on or about 2019 or 2020 and it only has 34, 000 miles - should be noted after a heavey 3 day rain this problem occured . I called Nissan and because of the recall they told us to drive it to Nissan which is a distance away - only to address the recall. I noted to them that the car was in a state "Not safe to drive " - I got an email from them proof of ownership - and they wanted us to pay for tow for diagnosis ? The motor obviously is effected from this recall - or it should be listed. I made several phone calls to Nissan USA - and emails . NO avail . this is dangerous and costly repair 2400 dollar estimate repair. Thank you Joseph Kelley [email protected] Joseph Kelley or Rebecca fitzgerald
Fuel gauge wasnt reading that the car was filled up. Then security lights came on in the car. Once the car was turned off, the steering wheel wouldnt lock and the car refused to start. Then random lights came on on the dashboard. You could shift the vehicle out of park and move it. The entire security system was malfunctioning. Vehicle was towed to nearest Nissan dealership in Bloomington, Indiana (where the car broke down). Nissan states it is the Body Control Module (BCM) and that they would not cover it. It is available for inspection at Community Nissan in Bloomington, Indiana. I felt our lives and the lives of others on the road could have been at risk if the vehicle decided to just shut off while we were driving, causing us to lose all power and crash into other drivers on the road.
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.
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.
I have a 2016 Nissan Rogue and my steering wheel was making a squeaking noise when turning… then was told it was the backing plate… then the tailgate door button doesn’t work. My navigation touchscreen doesn’t work. I get a burning wire smell in the car and my leg area gets really hot, as if I have the heater on. When I go over 45 the car shakes more like vibrating feeling when I press the brakes.. when someone get in or out my key alarm goes off saying no key in car.. please help I just got this car in December
When using the vehicle air system, I will have window malfunctions, wiper malfunctions, and battery malfunctions, while driving. My car has shut off while driving because of the recall. I need a resolution as this is incredibly dangerous.
