“While this is not a safety issue per say, if we can't get you to help with this issue then who can we turn to? A quick online search of 2013 Nissan Rogue paint problems will reveal a number of consumer complaints related to just one color of the car, pearl white. I too am having this issue now and it seems unreasonable to me that Nissan hasn't acknowledged this problem and issued a voluntary recall. Some people have had the issue fixed, some have not. The difference being their willingness to fight for it. …”
NHTSA complaint #10995006, filed 2017-06, 33,000 miles“Myself with my 6 year old daughter were driving from new haven, ct to fitchburg, ma. About 1 hour into the drive, my 2013 Nissan Rogue would not accelerate beyond 40mph!!! We were in steady fast moving traffic on a hot july 20th, 2018 afternoon, heatwave weather! It was terrifying!!! I put on my blinkers and slowly veered to the right lane! I had to get off the highway and make it to the nearest gas station. After several frantic calls to family members trying to figure out what to do, I decided to add engine oil, anti-freeze, gas and water hoping something would help. …”
NHTSA complaint #11269024, filed 2019-10, 80,000 miles“I purchased my car in 2016 which was previously a lease. When I got the car I noticed a whirring sound as I applied the gas and a low pull as it coasted downhill. Several different people I asked about this stated it was normal. I've never driven or owned a Nissan before and I just thought it was the way the car drives. A couple of months ago, after driving to get my son from college, the car barely went above 60 MPH as I pressed the gas. I pulled over, thought it was too hot or maybe a bad battery (had it tested, still good) or maybe the fuel injector. …”
NHTSA complaint #11101145, filed 2018-06, 106,000 miles“I was visiting family in arizona with my daughter (who is 100% handicap). My mother was in the back seat with my daughter. My father in the front passenger seat with me. Child locks on and all doors locked as the car was in motion, stopped at a red light, got a green light to turn left, was making the turn and my daughter's door (right rear passenger door) flew open. My mother had to grab my daughter. I stopped in the middle of the road in phoenix, father jumped out of the vehicle, checked my daughter and the door and the child lock was still on. …”
NHTSA complaint #10845641, filed 2016-03, 9,000 miles“Lift gate rusted around the emblems and tail lights within one year - they replaced it. Less than 8 months later it started rusting again - they replaced it. Is now rusting again and they will not do anything. Blows heat through the vents when all controls are off and temperature is set to the coolest setting. Latest issue is I was driving my kids home at night and when I tried to accelerate from a stop light the vehicle only moved slowly at the RPM went above 4,000 almost causing me to get rear ended. Eventually I could get to 50 MPH but anything over that and the RPM's would race over 4,000. …”
