Recalls (7)

  • AIR BAGS:SENSOR:OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATIONCampaign 16V244000 · 26/04/2016

    Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Nissan Maxima, 2013-2016 Nissan Altima, NV200, LEAF, Sentra, and Pathfinder, 2014-2016 Nissan NV200 Taxi, Infiniti QX60, QX60 Hybrid, and Q50 Hybrid, 2014-2017 Nissan Rogue and Infiniti Q50, 2015-2016 Nissan Murano, Murano Hybrid, and Chevrolet City Express, 2014-2015 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid, and 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles. In these vehicles, the front seat passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) may incorrectly classify an adult passenger as a child or classify the seat as empty despite it being occupied. As a result, the passenger frontal air bag may be turned off and not deploy in the event of a crash.

    Risk: If the passenger frontal air bag does not deploy as intended in the event of a crash, the passenger is at an increased risk of injury.

    Fix: Nissan will notify their owners. Chevrolet City Express owners will be notified by General Motors. Dealers will reprogram the Air Bag Control Unit (ACU) and OCS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) in Altima, Maxima, Murano, Rogue, and Sentra vehicles, and replace the OCS ECU in LEAF, NV200, NV200 Taxi, Pathfinder, Infiniti Q50, JX35, and QX60 and Chevrolet City Express vehicles, free of charge. Interim notices were sent to owners on May 31, 2016. Owners will receive a second notice when remedy parts become available. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669, Infiniti customer service at 1-888-833-3216 or Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020.

    During the winter months, when the temperature is below 30 degrees and the car has been sitting all night, the vehicle has to be run about 5 minutes or one can't go over 15 mph. The RPM's will run at a steady 2000 until the car is warmed up and then can be driven without difficulty. I cannot give a particular date on this occurance. I bought used and happens every winter. Took into Nissan dealership and they cannot find anything wrong.

HOWEVER WHENEVER I SLOW DOWN TO STOP, OR TAKE OFF, I HAVE NOTICED MY DRIVER SEAT WILL GLIDE FORWARD AND SOMETIMES CLICK OR CLUNK, I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST BECAUSE I AM A MORE HEAVIER GUY. I STARTED READING MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME YEAR AND MAKE NISSIAN WERE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES. IT HAS BEEN HAPPING ON AND OFF SINCE ABOUT MARCH 2020 WHEN I STARTED TO REALLY REALIZE IT.

THE RPM'S WERE ADJUSTED BUT THIS DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE AND I WAS TOLD IT IS THE WAY THE MOTOR SITS EVEN THOUGH IT WAS NOT HAVING THIS ISSUE WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MARCH OF 2018. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR MOVING OR IF I AM TURNING OR WHERE I AM DRIVING. THIS ISSUE PERSISTS.

  • 12/29/2021· POWER TRAIN

    I have been having issues with the transmission in my 2016 Nissan Rogue. At the date of the filing of a class action lawsuit regarding this issue there were 38 complaints lodged with the NHTSA regarding this same issue, for just that year of the model. That total does not include any complaints regarding the Pathfinder, Altima, Infinity, Versa, or Sentry, or prior or consecutive years of the Rogue, even though there are multiple complaints regarding the issue. The NHTSA does not seem to be concerned with the safety of those that have filed complaints regarding this issue, as they have not ordered a recall. I was even informed earlier that there were no complaints on record, so either the representative did not look closely enough, or at all. To explain the issue all you have to do is look at all other complaints regarding the CVT issue in the Nissan models, lack of acceleration, increased rpms due to revving, lagging when driving, increased shaking when stopped. Please take the complaints serious and have Nissan fix the defect that they are more than aware of. Nissan only acknowledges a problem after warranty expires, and now they are minimally extending warranties to address problem, but most have already gone over mileage extension. This needs to be addressed as an imminent safety issue.

WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT HOME AND THERE IS HAS SAT UNTIL 12/28/20 WHEN WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT TOWED. WHEN WE TRIED TO GET IT INTO GEAR, IT WOULD NOT MOVE FROM PARK TO NEUTRAL EVEN. WE DID NOT GO TO A DEALER AS THEY WERE TWICE AS FAR AS THE MECHANIC WE FOUND. NISSAN REFUSED TO CONSIDER A RECALL OR ISSUE EVEN WITH A SETTLED LAWSUIT ON OTHER CVT TRANSMISSIONS. THEY WOULDN'T EVEN PAY FOR THE TOW AND SIMPLY SAID "SORRY".

    I HAVE A 3 SEATER, DURING A REAR END COLLISION, THE MIDDLE SEAT SWUNG BACK AND LOCKED WITH THE 3RD SEAT. WHEN THE SEAT LOCKS THERE IS NO SPACE BETWEEN THE SEATS; IF SOME IS SITTING IN THE BACK THE LEGS WILL BE CRUSH DURING A COLLISION. MY 5 YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER WAS SEATING IN HER CAR SEAT AND BY A BLESSING OF GOD, SHE WAS ABLE TO RAISE HER LEGS BECAUSE THEY ARE SHORT. THE MIDDLE SEAT IS NOT PROPERLY LOCKED.

  • 12/26/2023· SEATS

    For the past year, the front driver seat will jolt slightly forward upon braking, and jolt/click back upon accelerating. I began to notice it when I would start the car and start driving, because the seat would move back ever so slightly, even though the seat hadn’t been moved prior as I am the only one who drives the vehicle. And then upon braking, the seat would move slightly forward. It is a very unsettling feeling because it does not feel like the seat is secure and if an accident were to occur with enough force, it feels like the seat will come off the rails completely. The car has automatic, cloth seats on driver’s side. When the car is at rest, and you are sitting in the driver seat, if you move your body, forward and back, the seat feels unsteady and moves (it never moves up or down the rail it just feels like it “clicks” into a new spot). I have read multiple other complaints on other online forums about the driver seat of the 2016 Nissan rogue, and I believe that this is a major safety issue for the rails of the seat and being secure in the front driver’s seat. For reference, the current vehicle is around 70k miles. It has been noticeable for about a year.

  • 12/26/2023· STRUCTURE

    Upon driving the vehicle on the freeway or highway at an accelerated speed, the hood shakes up and down rapidly, and appears as though it could potentially pop open. The hood is locked when driving and there have been no accidents on the vehicle. Nissan has had multiple recalls of their hood latch for the mid-size cars like the Altima and also the Pathfinder, but I believe the Rogue is also affected. I first noticed it in 2020, and it has been this way for a couple of years, and when I asked the dealerships, they told me there’s been no recall for the Nissan rogue so I had always thought it might be normal (albeit concerning); it wasn’t until this past May when a friend who worked at Nissan mentioned about the latch recalls for the other cars, that I decided to look into it. There is no recall for the Nissan rogue for the hood latch but I believe the 2016 Rogue is also affected by a faulty hood latch. The hood feels locked when parked, but upon driving on a freeway or at an accelerated MPH above 45/50, it seems as though a lot of air gets under the hood and forces it to shake up and down. It is very unsettling and seems like another common issue for 2016 Rogue drivers.

    On September 22, 2022, my car was hit from the rear. The car hit me so hard that their front end was totalled. On Nov. 28, 2022, the car dealership ( Nash Chevrolet) was able to fix my car from the accident and after fixing my car, they called to tell me my air bag light had came on. They couldn't find the issue, didn't think it was from the accident and stated that Nissan would need to fix it. Nissan is refusing to fix the air bag unless I pay for it out of pocket.

    LAST YEAR I WAS REARENDED WHILE WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN AND MY AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY. THE IMPACT OF THE ACCIDENT WAS HARD ENOUGH THAT MY L-5 VERTEBRAE WAS BROKEN AND DISPLACED A CENTIMETER AWAY FROM SEVERING MY SPINAL CORD. IT DIDN'T OCCUR TO ME UNTIL MY DEPOSITION AND THE LAWYERS WERE ASKING ME WHY THE AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY THAT THERE COULD BE A PROBLEM.

    My 2016 Nissan Rogue shakes terribly when it goes over 60 mph. This has been happening for over a year. I have twice taken it to garages for repair, most recently this week. They replaced the axels but this did nothing and they told me they have been reviewing Nissan service bulletins. They said they know the year of my car has had numerous transmission issues. So as of now, I can't drive my car at a speed over 60 mph. I don't feel safe driving it but don't want to shell out more money for speculative solutions that probably won't work and will just cost me more money.

SINCE IT IS A LEASE, I MUST USE NISSAN CLASS WHICH IS ALMOST 3 TIMES AS EXPENSIVE AS GLASS FROM A THIRD PARTY. TO TOP IT OFF, I HAVE DRIVING IN A RENTAL CAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE LAST 7 DAYS AT $35 PER DAY. NISSAN FINALLY CALLED ME BACK (7 DAYS LATER).

    Have a 2016 Nissan rogue with about 49,000 miles. About two months ago, started experiencing judder when truck got above 50 miles an hour. Took it to a local mechanic where they performed a diagnostic and let us know there was a transmission problem. They advised to speak to the Nissan head office directly because there was a known transmission issue for that particular year, make and model. On 11/12/2024, called Nissan USA, spoke to Ashley in their consumer affairs department where a claim was opened. Ashley took information on the truck and based on the mileage said there was a possibility of a goodwill being offered. The truck had to be taken to one of Nissan’s service locations to have a diagnostics performed which was done on 11/20/2024. Once done and $200 later, Nissan confirmed that the transmission had to be replaced for about $8000. Consumer affairs received the diagnostic report and made the decision that despite the low mileage, they could not extend the warranty as a courtesy to us. I find it unfair that I have a vehicle that was drivable a few weeks ago, and with no fair warning, started having the same transmission problems that Nissan was sued for and settled for the same make and model. Please help me find some justice. Thank you.

    THE HEATER WENT OUT ON MY ROGUE ON A VERY COLD MORNING. IT WOULD ONLY BLOW COLD AIR. THIS WAS PROBLEMATIC BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUE IN DEFROSTING MY WINDOWS. I HAVE TO DRIVE FOR WORK EVERY MORNING. THIS GREATLY CONCERNS MEAN FOR THE SAFETY OF MY WIFE AND 3 MONTHS DAUGHTER. ACCORDING TO RESEARCH ONLINE, THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM, BUT NO SAFETY RECALL HAS OCCURRED YET. ONE WEBSITE STATES THAT, NISSAN RELEASED SEVERAL TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS FOR IMPROPER HEATING/VENTILATION PERFORMANCE, INCLUDING INCORRECT TEMPERATURE OUTPUT AND/OR AIR DELIVERY LOCATION FOR NISSAN ROGUES FROM 2015-17 THE MOST RECENT ' #NTB17-028 AND NTB15-045E, ' INDICATES CERTAIN VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE MANUAL HVAC SYSTEM MIGHT BENEFIT FROM REPLACEMENT OF THE 'FRONT AIR CONTROL UNIT.'

    WHILE ENTERING A LEFT TURN LANE (UNSURE OF SPEED AS WAS SLOWING FOR THE RED LIGHT), VEHICLE BUMPED A CURB ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. DID NOT GO OVER IT, BRUSHED AGAINST IT. NO BODY DAMAGE EXCEPT SOME SCRAPING ON THE RIMS OF THE WHEELS. THE TIRES REMAINED INFLATED. HOWEVER, THE SENSOR DETECTED IT AS A SIDE IMPACT, AND DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAGS (NOT THE STEERING WHEEL, JUST THE SIDE) DEPLOYED, INJURING AND DISORIENTING THE DRIVER. VEHICLE WAS UNDER CONTROL, AND DRIVER WAS IN NO DANGER UNTIL AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY ASSERTED THAT THE SENSOR ACTED PROPERLY AS THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A ROLL OVER (THEN SHOULDN'T ALL OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED?). THE SENSOR IS WAY TOO SENSITIVE AND DANGEROUS AS I WAS SEVERELY DISORIENTED (AND MAY HAVE BRIEFLY LOST CONSCIOUSNESS) FROM THE AIRBAGS AND AM LUCKY THAT I OR SOMEONE ELSE WAS NOT MORE SERIOUSLY INJURED. FOLLOWING THE INCIDENT, THE INSURANCE AGENT, THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER, ETC. WERE SHOCKED THAT THE AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED IN THIS SITUATION. BRUSHING CURBS IS WELL WITHIN THE NORMAL PARAMETERS OF DRIVING AND SHOULD NOT HAVE CAUSED THE AIRBAGS TO GO OFF.

    EVERYTHING IN THE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY. THE SEATS AND THE HOOD MOST NOTICEABLY SHAKE. I'VE STOPPED BEFORE TO CHECK THAT IT WAS LATCHED OUT OF FEAR OF THE HOOD OPENING WHILE I'M DRIVING. THE SHAKING IS NOT AS BAD WHEN THE TIRES ARE ROTATED BUT IT EVENTUALLY RETURNS WITHIN A FEW WEEKS. IT HAS DONE THIS SINCE I PURCHASED IT. THE CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 23,000 MILES ON IT.

    THE NISSAN ROGUE HAS A VIBRATION ON THE LEFT SIDE. CAN BE FELT WHEN HOLDING THE STEERING WHEEL. BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION AT THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES MORE THAN A YEAR AGO. LAST TIME THEY SAID THERE WILL BE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AS MY VEHICLE IS AFFECTED. AFTER CHECKING W/DEALERSHIP A FEW MORE TIMES, THERE IS STILL NO NEWS OF GETTING THIS RESOLVED. THIS HAPPENS WHILE I'M DRIVING AND IT MAKES ME NAUSEOUS.

    2015 Nissan Rogue will not accelerate in any gear sporadically. Happens once or twice a day. The motor will run and Rpm's rev up, but the drivetrain seems to disengage, and momentum is lost. Very dangerous situation in traffic, because the car seems to stall out, with no warning to other drivers. We have been to the Nissan dealer several times and they say they cannot find a fix until they can "duplicate the issue". As mentioned previously, it happens sporadically.

  • 11/08/2016· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

    IN FEBRUARY 2016 I PURCHASED A 2016 NISSAN AFTER HAVING OWNED MURANOS OR ROGUE FOR ABOUT 9 PREVIOUS YEARS. THE HEADLITE SYSTEM WAS CHANGED TO A LED COMPUTER CONTROLLED SYSTEM. THE HEADLITES WERE NOW VERY FOCUSED WITH NO LIGHT ESCAPING FROM A HEAVY DIRECT CONCENTRATED BEAM. IF THE NORMAL HEADLITES WERE TURNED ON AND DIRECTED TOWARD THE BACK OF ANOTHER YOU CAN DISTINCTLY NOTICE THE CLEAR AREA FROM THE GROUND UP TO THE HEIGHT OF THE ROGUE'S HOOD. THE REST OF THE LIGHT WOULD APPEAR TO BE TINTED. IF THE HIGH BEAMS WERE TURNED ON YOU WOULD HAVE MORE LIGHT ON THE OBJECT IN FRONT OF THE ROGUE. THE MAIN PROBLEM IS WHEN THE ROGUE IS HEADED DOWN HILL. THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL WOULD BE LIT UP BUT THE AREA DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE ROGUE WOULD BE LIKE A BLACK HOLE ESPECIALLY IF TRAVELING ON AN UNLIT COUNTRY ROAD. AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I RETURNED TO DEMO THIS CONDITION TO THE NISSAN DEALER WHO CONFIRMED MY FEELINGS ABOUT THE HEADLITES. I THEN REPORTED THE SAME INFO TO NISSAN WHO TOOK MY COMMENTS BUT DID NOT INDICATE WHETHER ANYTHING WOULD BE DONE. I URGE YOU TO INVESTIGATE AS IT IS ANOTHER INDICATION THAT HEADLITES ARE A DEFECT AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED. THANK YOU, THE VEHICLE PERFORMS THE SAME WAY WHETHER STATIONARY, IN MOTION OR ON ANY TYPE OF ROAD BUT IS MOST DANGEROUS ON A DARK COUNTRY ROAD. THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
