“My car has been dying intermittently for the past few months while stationary. Today my vehicle shut off while I was driving home on a residential street, traveling approximately 35 miles per hour, causing the steering to lock up and my vehicle to abruptly stop. All the indicator lights shut off as well. Another vehicle had to swerve into the other lane to avoid rear ending me.”
NHTSA complaint #11328255, filed 2020-06, 33,000 miles“Takata recall. I brought a brand new 2018 Nissan Rogue in april of 2018. My engine light came on and the car only has 9000 miles on it. I took in to the dealer and they claim the light is on because a rodent chewed the wires belonging to the harness. At 1st I was given a loner vehicle and told my transmission was having problems. On friday I took the car to the dealership. They were very unprofessional from the beginning. …”
NHTSA complaint #11173198, filed 2019-01, 10,000 miles“On march 31, 2020, while slowing for a traffic light, my vehicle began to shake violently and as I came to a complete stop, the engine shut off. Upon taking the vehicle to a local Nissan dealership, I was informed that the engine wiring harness would need to be replaced. This is a problem, in and of itself, because this component can typically last for the lifetime of a vehicle except in cases for which there is extensive damage to the vehicle such as an accident or flood, neither of which have been the case. …”

NHTSA complaint #11111057, filed 2018-07, 300 miles“I was travelling in my vehicle when I came to a red traffic light and stopped. Once the light turned green, I proceeded to go forward when my vehicle seemed to slowed down on its own. When I stepped on the gas pedal, it seemed the vehicle didn't want to move forward. The other issue is that this morning I was driving in my vehicle when all of a sudden some sensors seemed to be set off. I then pulled over and turned of the ignition. I was then able to start my vehicle and proceed to my destination without another occurrence.”
