Example complaints

“My driver side door just stopped working/inability to open the door from the outside. Per local Nissan service center, it is something to do with the accelerator. I've seen this problem come up on several online forums when I googled Nissan driver side door recall and it looks like Nissan had a voluntary recall for Nissan door handles in the past.”
NHTSA complaint #11065043, filed 2018-01, 77,000 miles“My band new 2008 Rogue was hit by another car. My car was not moving and the other car backed into my car going about 5 miles per hour. My bumper was completing dented inward on the passenger side. My headlight also needs to be replaced. This is the second time my new car has been in an accident for a minor fender bender for a long period of time.”
NHTSA complaint #10225755, filed 2008-04, 3,598 miles“2008 Nissan Rogue. I noticed some paint defects and the dealer agreed to buff out. Well they could not be buffed out and I am now finding them in other parts of the car. Infact the GM of the dealers still hasn't returned my calls.”
NHTSA complaint #10243845, filed 2008-09, 200 miles“Door lock actuator on both front doors froze after freezing rain/ ice storm. In the morning I opened the door and started the car (did not close the door) and went inside the house while it warmed-up. When I returned the drivers side door would not open from the outside or the inside handles. The passenger door had stopped working from the outside handle about 6 weeks earlier after a similar storm, though I was not aware of the relationship of the problem to the weather at the time. When I tried to open the passenger side door from the inside handle on 03/12/2014 it would not open. …”
NHTSA complaint #10574409, filed 2014-03, 68,490 miles“2008 Nissan Rogue: back rear window behind the driver's side exploded sending glass all over the car and on the driveway. The car had been driven about 15 prior to the incident. I reported the incident to the Nissan dealer where I purchased the vehicle. He would not even talk to me. He said it was not under their warranty and that it belonged to me and the bank now. I turned it in to my comprehension insurance and had the window replaced. The glass hit the seat so hard that it embedded about 2 inches deep into the seat. The seat cover had to be replaced as well. …”
