“I was stopped to turn left on a main road, when a tractor trailer rear ended my car and then slide it sideways , hitting the side of the tractor trailer. The tractor trailer was leaning on my car. None of my airbags went off . Both seats broke, and both the headrests flew off during the crash. The driver seat even twisted to the right.”
NHTSA complaint #11277489, filed 2019-11, 66,780 miles“My driver's seat started making clicking noise occasionally when turning left and right, ever since this summer. Don't know if it's the welding issue or some pieces inside impact with each other. I searched online and saw other 2017 Nissan Rogue owners complaining about the same issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11252782, filed 2019-09, 42,000 miles“Starting from 2017 up until 8/5/2019 after obtaining my 2017 Nissan rouge my initial complaint was the seat, it is horrible, my complaints brought no results from Nissan. Then after I began to notice while driving a loud humming sound as if the car was out of gear and the car would slow to a halt or stall/stop while driving or I would pull over because of the familiar sound, not sure what the matter was then I would see this funny little symbol like a crash of something of sort. …”
NHTSA complaint #11242100, filed 2019-08, 43,300 miles“When I press on the gas to go, my drive seat flops backwards and forwards like I was balancing on a ball. It happens every day at every stop light. The most recent event was today 4/25/18.”
NHTSA complaint #11090013, filed 2018-04, 13,250 miles“When driving and steering, turning left or right, going over bumps in the road, turning curves, there is a clicking noise in my steering column. When I put on brakes it does it also. I am not sure if there is something inside broken or loose. I have taken it to a Nissan dealer and they can't find anything, but they hear the noises, the service manager even recorded the noises. My seat slides on the power racking system. My seat will side from front to back, only a fraction, but it also slides or rocks from left to right. I am afraid that the seat will come unattached if I am in a collision. …”
