I took ownership of this vehicle on december 11, 2024. Here are some of the problems i've encountered with this 2025 nissan rogue sl model: (1)blind spot, lane departure has been malfunctioning as of 12-11-2024. (2)the seat belt symbol started malfunctioning a few days later. The red seat belt sign on the dashboard remains on for an extended period. (3)the am/ fm radio was working for a short time then off and on. Whenever the am/fm radio goes out, sirius xm radio remain strong. I brought the suv back to the leasing company twice after which they programmed and reset the radio and the safety features. It seemed to work for a day. I called the leasing company and they said that i should take the rogue to one of nissan's service departments for a diagnostic workup. I made an appointment with the service dept. Where the technician spent a good amount of time going over the vehicle. we then took a test drive where he explained how the system worked. The tech said that this vehicle’s blind spot kicks in after it reaches 30 miles according to the training video. He went on t say, in addition you have to press the blue blind spot logo to activate the system. I took the vehicle to the nissan service. since driving this nissan rogue another problem occurred that complicates all of the other issues above. That is this dangerous rear lift gate. Let me be clear, i’m a disabled veteran and all of these safety components are extremely important to my family. I can’t afford to worry or be hit again by this lift gate. This lift gate has hit me twice which organizing my belongs in this new suv. Whenever your working near the rear bumper the rear lift gate is likely to come down! I’m back from the holidays and this vehicle is going back to the nissan service dept again. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.
Right daytime running lamp failed at approximately 40,000 miles. Dealer has not been contacted other than to get a price for the replacement part. Safety is compromised by vehicle being less noticeable to other drivers. No warning lamps are activated.
The transmission has given out. There are recalls for the same year (2014) on different nissan vehicles. There are issues that i have never had. One minute it will go then it'll shudder and not move at all even with the pedal pushed down. It goes into limp mode. There are threads and pages created just for this issue and nothing has been done about it. The car gave out on me while in traffic, pulling out into traffic, and nearly avoided causing a crash that could have ended in death or sever injury. Why is this not being addressed??? I've had the transmission flushed by nissan and also after the incident. The vehicle is available for inspection but will need to be towed. I should not have to fork out thousands of dollars to fix a major nissan issue. This happened with no warning. Just failure. No warning lamps or symptoms.
On occasional engine startup infortainment screen is blank and you have no backup camera, bluetooth, navigation or other safety apps.
The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Versa. The contact stated upon inspecting the vehicle, she noticed water intrusion in the tail lights and headlights. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the electrical system needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure and offered no assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 71,000.
While driving down the highway, the vehicle significantly lost power while going up a hill, so much so that i had to downshift into 2nd gear in order to maintain and not lose speed. This is incredibly dangerous as i was only able to climb the hill at about 20 mph while the flow over traffic was 55 mph.
The left rear arm snapped completely and is now dangling along with the spring link and other parts connected to it. The car is not drivable and i have to have a on-site mechanic come out to fix it. I had been driving the car on the highway the day it happened and luckily made it back to my house, then about 20 minutes later i had to go back out but when i put the car into reverse and started backing down the driveway a loud snap followed by scraping metal occurred. Now the car is stationary on the curb. The right rear arm's condition is also bad, showing signs of snapping in the near future as well. My mechanic along with research i've conducted has informed me that this is an extremely common problem with nissan sedans that happen frequently. I had insurance on this exact part of the car but it unfortunately expired may of this year. I filed a claim with nissan directly and they proved to serve no help. If the rear arm had snapped just a little bit earlier in the day when i was on the highway it would have most likely resulted in major accident that would have left me injured.
Rear center and right seat belts would not latch. Also, dashboard rear seatbelt monitor lights were incorrect.
Warning popped up that malfunction and forward collision was disabled
Steering becomes tight and “feels to lock up” with no control. Happened 2 times previously, 3rd time resulted in a crash.
