the federal safety agency Complaint Statement Vehicle Information 2018 Nissan Rogue SL AWD VIN: [XXX] Component Affected Power Train – Rear Differential / AWD Electric Coupling Assembly Summary of Problem The rear differential electric coupling assembly failed, causing AWD malfunction and unsafe driving conditions. Nissan issued Technical Service Bulletin NTB20-069 acknowledging this defect on 2014-2020 Rogue AWD vehicles built before certain VINs. My vehicle’s VIN is within the affected build range, yet I was told it is not covered because it is “not part of the recall.” Safety Concerns Failure of the AWD coupling affects vehicle handling, especially in wet or slippery conditions, creating a significant safety hazard. Request I believe this issue should be treated as a formal recall so that affected owners are not left with expensive, unsafe repairs for a known defect.

Driver door will not open from outside or inside vehicle. Based on research this is an acuator issue that Nissan has known about since 2014 & failed to issue a recall. I am in the process of costly repair @ personal expense for a clear safety issue the know about & have failed to address, & would like reimbursement for. I have had to climb over/out passenger side several times to enter/exit car, thus far not being trapped, however it is not safe to not be able to quickly exit vehicle. Nor safe to manuver over console to exit this way. Nor is it safw not to be able to enter your parked vehicle. Nissan needs to issue a recall & cover repair expense on all makes/models & all doors affected, checking all 4 doirs, not just the one or 2 doors malfunctioning as this can/will affect all 4 doors.

The A/C does not work on the driver side making it impossible to defrost the windshield. The passenger side of the windshield defrosted, but not the drivers side making the vehicle impossible to drive as there was no vision for the driver. My mechanic had to disassemble the entire dashboard and found that the small plastic nob that allows the inside control to turn the air on and off had worn down. In order to drive safely, he removed the worn out piece and now the heat stays on 90 degrees and to have it turned off, he has to dismantle the entire dashboard. My husband got a quote from a dealer a year prior to his demise and it would have costs $4,000. So we resorted to drive his 2020 Nissan Rogue instead and left my vehicle parked most of the time. Now that the weather is 85+ I have to drive a vehicle that is blowing 90 on the driver and cannot be driven when raining because of the amount of steam generated due to the high temperature. At the current rate I have to have this procedure done twice a year just to drive the vehicle. I have found several videos on YouTube regarding the problem with Nissan Rogues and this particular issue. However, I can find no recall to help remedy the problem. Therefore, I am asking that Nissan find a permanent solution to this problem and have it fixed at Nissan expense. Thanks.

My car has been hacked electronically. I've reported this to Nissan, and to the NIssan dealership at the 60,000 mile check-up. My safety has been impacted through the brakes coming on automatically (I just had them serviced - hopefully this will help), but if there is an electrical component, it may be tied into the navigation system as well. I do Door Dash, and at certain times, I've had my phone navigation fail, and then my car navigation fails for no reason. If one system fails, okay, because I have Google Maps on my phone and also car navigation. When all three aren't working at the same time - it is a targeted effort. There are also loud noises coming from the car speakers, I'm unsure if there is an issue with Nissan Connect? I'll give an approximate date, but these are happening multiple dates.

- Automatic Emergency Brake Malfunction. Was driving when suddenly without warning the vehicle started braking - flashing lights on dashboard. It all happened so fast and brief I did not see what the warning said. - At the time I did not know if it was the vehicle braking or a transmission issue, but after the event everything was back to normal. - My mechanic scanned the vehicle next morning and said there was an AEB incident recorded. - I have since turned the AEB feature off upon starting the car each time, but a warning will always pop up while driving - System Malfunction.

My check engine light came on in my 2018 Nissan Rogue. I took it to the Nissan dealership where I purchased the car on 6/12/23 my odometer had 35,370 miles at this time. Service technician found that check engine light was on due to codes: PO447;PO075; and code PO012. Per the service receipt I received after paying $5.023 these were the listed issues and repairs: Short in the Electronic Control Ignition Harness. The Electronic Control Ignition Harness and the Ignition Power Distribution Module needed to be replaced. This is a known recall issue with past models on this same issue, but 2018 Nissan Rogue Models have not been recalled even though the problem still exists, at least with my vehicle. Thankfully no injuries or damaged cause by this defect because I was proactive to get it fixed. Called Nissan Motors Consumer Affairs too!

When driving my dashboard lights light up randomly. A malfunction/warning popped up. My seatbelt light came on and I was wearing my seatbelt. Often times my trunk closes on its own and has hit my head. The car does not recognize the key. I have seen the dealership for this and they fixed it, but then the issue comes back.

When using the voice control on the steering wheel of my 2018 Rogue in June 2023, the sound of my voice was not picked up by the microphone. I went online to look for recalls or repair information, and found a Reddit thread with many 2018 Rogue owners complaining of the same issue. I took the vehicle to the dealership. The dealership replicated the issue and found the Telematics Control Unit was not working. The technician also stated he has seen several of these stating, "Not a huge number, but quite a few." Since this is just one dealership, coupled with the online discussions, I believe this is a widespread problem that Nissan is aware of and has not voluntarily recalled. SAFETY: Many states have hands-free laws and the malfunctioning Telematics Control Unit does not allow the hands-free safety feature to work. Nissan is also asking $817 to rectify the issue, which could be cost prohibitive for some owners, causing them to forego the safety repair.

I was driving on the expressway when my car started shaking and a malfunction message came on. My steering then started to steer only to the left and the car would not allow me to control the steering any longer. I hit the median wall, did a 360 and was facing the opposite direction of traffic. The door initially would not unlock to let me out. I kept trying in a panic and all of a sudden they unlocked for me to get out. My car was totaled out by my insurance company.

On 12/17/2022 I was driving 45 mph down a straight road. Suddenly the vehicle swerved left into oncoming traffic (so I was face to face with another vehicle), then swerved right very hard and then left again. My car was its two left tires only for a few seconds during this time. After it swerved across the lane 3 times, I was able to control the steering wheel again. I just missed the car in the opposing lane and my car was also heading towards a telephone poll before I regained the ability to control the car again. During this incident my steering wheel was straight the whole time and did not control the vehicle. I did not hit the brakes or acceleration for fear of a rollover because it was swerving so hard. There were no warning lights on the dashboard during this time or after the incident. About 3 minutes before this incident occurred, my car did something similar and swerved hard to the right while the steering wheel was straight and I did not have control of the steering for a few seconds. Mechanics in the area were called and mentioned that it could be the steering motor that could be failing but were unable to look at the vehicle. I had a mechanic come to my house and he said he could not find a error code on my vehicle's system. The car has not been driven since the incident.

This is my 2nd request for assistance for my Nissan. I have an engine room harness problem. Can you contact me about this?

Filed Oct 24, 2022 · Electrical · KY

There is a problem with my engine room harness, and it is corroding. My car was not on the recall for an engine room cover. My wires are corroded. It has never been issued for a recall, and the Nissan repair shop has indicated this is a problem with the E27 sensor. This is the report from Nissan Repair: "Customer states that car runs rough and lights are on. I found that key will not turn on. Checked battery voltages, they are at 12.1 volts. Checked pin fit on all fuses that go to the battery. I found that connector e27 was very corroded. We will have to start with replace the fuseable link. While replacing, found that corrosion has made its way down through wires. Car now needs engine room harness." Therefore, this is not a normal wear and tear but a situation that the cover was not issued during the design of this vehicle. Please issue a recall for my vehicle so that I can continue to get where I need to safely and securely without stalling and without spending money out of my pocket for this issue.

Used key fob to unlock driver's door. Would not work. Used valet key. Started car, open drivers window and notice that nothing else in the cabin was operational. A/C would not turn on, could not put it in gear. Radio wouldn't function. The dash and console were dark. No message flashed. Couldn't exit the car as door wouldn't open. However, THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN. Hung out open door to unlock with valet key. Called AAA, they couldn't stop engine from running and stated they weren't "authorized" to do anything else. Called Nissan emergency number and person came out and couldn't shut off engine and finally had to disconnect the alternator to stop car from running. After reconnecting the alternator, he could not start car. I called a tow truck the next morning and at that time, the car started. Nissan service garage couldn't replicate that problem except said that the actuator in the door had failed and needed replaced - but that wouldn't cause the other issues. They had car for over a week and could not replicate the problem of the car engine running while every other car function was not operational. The car has only 3824 miles on it although it is a 2018. This is a major safety issue. Contacted Nissan Customer Care Service. Since the problem wasn't replicated, they said they couldn't help. I feel unsafe and won't drive car due to no one being able to explain why that happened or whether it will happen again.

First I lost heat only on the driver side and took it to get repaired. Less than a month later the driver side heat went back out and when I took it back to the dealership in Avon, Indiana I was told the manufacturers were not making the part currently, this was in November and December 2021 and I still have no heat.
