I'm not the original owner of the vehicle, but have had it two years now and purchased it from a Honda Dealership that's not in my local area. A month ago my key fob stopped opening the doors and setting the alarm system (though the alarm button still worked). I figured the battery needed to be replaced and I replaced the battery. Then found that the key fob wasn't working at all. I then tried my spare, which now wouldn't work either, so I replaced the battery on that one, and nothing changed. Neither key fobs would work on my Rogue. The fobs also kept me from being able to start the ignition without using the internal fob key. I checked the original manual that came with the car and it just states to contact the Dealer. I looked online for instructions on how to reprogram/sync the key fobs after battery replacement and the though there were many instructions (all over the map) on how to do this, none of the instructions have worked. I then found that it "appears" that Nissan requires that you do have to take it to the dealer to get them re-synced after a battery replacement, and worse yet, there are proper instructions for other Nissan makes and models to manually re-sync key fobs after battery replacement, but apparently just not with a 2008 Nissan Rogue. Kind of discriminating as well as costly from what I am seeing of the Dealer Charges for this to get done and for something we all know should be very simple and the car owner should be able to do without having to take the time to bring it to the Dealer, let alone incur this cost, just because a battery needs to be replaced. It should be illegal to force car owners to pay a Dealer what they should certainly be able to do themselves, given the proper instructions within the manual. I won't be purchasing another Nissan since I have found tons of complaints during my search in how Nissan avoids doing the right thing, regarding something that for them, is so minor.
