“Faulty heath unit it does not blow hot air inclement cold weather with humidity makes fog the windshield because you can not defrost your glass with warm air A lot of people on dangerous situation for their reason a lot of complains about this faulty issue in Nissan Rogues”

NHTSA complaint #11557570, filed 2023-11

“The heater and thus defroster no longer work, only cold air comes out. A Nissan service center diagnosed the issue as a stripped out part of the blend door actuator. The whole heater box would need to be replaced to resolve the issue. In winter driving, the lack of defroster impairs visibility and turns off the automatic forward braking system. The fault light for the forward braking system comes on when there is windshield frost/fog. The first signs of this issue appeared as intermittent failures of the heater failing to turn on, but resolved on the next drive. …”
