Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have had some battery issues since I purchased this vehicle. I purchased it used from a dealership. I have had to jump it off several times and have the battery replaced at least twice. Last time I had warranty so I didn't have to buy a new one. However I did still have to pay to get it installed.”
NHTSA complaint #11182134, filed 2019-02, 98,000 miles“12/22/2018 my Nissan Rogue caught fire parked in my driveway. We were only alerted because the horn defaulted because of the fire. Fire department extinguished the fire with some difficulty. They assured us it was electrical. Insurance co. Totaled the car. Upon my own research this has happened many times with this make and model. Nissan has not accepted responsibility in any of them. Thank god no one was injured. The stress and financial responsibility lays with the customers.”
NHTSA complaint #11163739, filed 2018-12, 30,000 miles“Vehicle in the shop for a major oil leak, 2 key fobs don't work, recall, leaking sunroof, and last but not least air bag light flashing. Quoted 3500 to replace seat/module, 350. For oil issue, 1400. Sunroof. I inherited this car in 2013 when my mother passed away and it only has 20000 miles on it. I could buy another newer used car at this rate!! This is rediculous for a vehicle with so low miles to have this many issues. At this rate I will never purchase or recommend Nissan again. Please advise. Thanks, deb”
NHTSA complaint #11096803, filed 2018-05, 20,000 miles“Stationary, 1 year old in rear of vehicle and the door would not unlock. The button on the p/s & d/s unlocked every door except for the d/s rear door. We tried to use the keyless remote to unlock the door, that failed as well. We attempted to open manually from inside the rear and the lock would not give way. We could not safely remove our child from the backseat. The driver's side rear door is still locked and we cannot get in or out of that door. All other doors and locks function normally as they should.”
NHTSA complaint #11012603, filed 2017-08, 81,000 miles“I reported a fire complaint back in the summer to you on this vehicle. Now my accelerator just suddenly quits working. I reported this to downtown nashville Nissan around june 2019. They said no code came up. It has since been happening more and more. Twice when I was trying to get on the interstate. Two weeks ago it happened five times in a row and wouldn't go over 30 MPH. When I would let completely off the accelerator and push it again it jumps like all of the energy busts through at once. I have since done research and this is a very common problem. …”
