This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Stationary, 1 year old in rear of vehicle and the door would not unlock. The button on the P/S & D/S unlocked every door except for the D/S rear door. We tried to use the keyless remote to unlock the door, that failed as well. We attempted to open manually from inside the rear and the lock would not give way. We could not safely remove our child from the backseat. The driver's side rear door is still locked and we cannot get in or out of that door. All other doors and locks function normally as they should.
Vehicle stability control light is on, it's a computer problem that the system is telling the car to break even when the vehicle in accerlaration, causing the vehicle to breaks to smoke.
The contact owns a 2012 Nissan Rogue. After the vehicle was started, the passenger side air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on three separate occasions and the technician stated that the air bag sensor needed to be reset. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred each time. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle's year was included in NHTSA campaign number: 16V244000 (air bags). The failure mileage was 65,000.
On 12/26/2015 at 4am my 2012 Nissan Rogue caught on fire in my carport. My daughter and I could have died had it not been for my 2 golden retrievers alerting us. I later found out that I wasn't notified of a open recall on 1/26/2015 including my VIN for the electrical system, in which it could short and cause a vehicle fire. The vehicle was deemed totaled by my insurance company and over $10,000 worth of damage sustained to my home. Nissan began their investigation on 1/20/2016 and on 2/12/2016 they contacted me via fedex that the have no financial responsibility for this incident. I am totally baffled by this because vehicle fire is consequence of the electrical problem on my VIN. And yes I have insurance on both my home and vehicle, but there is $500 deductible on my home. And there is a balance after my insurance paid off what the vehicle is worth at the time of the fire. And I had to put money down money to buy a new vehicle. So I'm left with all of the financial responsibilty and Nissan has none. I am livid!!!

1. Nissan refuses to take any responsibility for using dunlop 7000A/S 225/55/18 tires on this vehicle which are dangerous in any condition besides dry road conditions these tires are inherently defective also filed complaint with Goodyear tire which refuses to acknowledge any issues with this tire. 2. the traffic feature of the navigation system does not work. After 20 hours on the phone with siriusxm they advised me this is a Nissan issue. Nissan also refuses to take any action. 3. the radio turns on and off or the source of the media changes when you blow the horn also Nissan has no solution or fix for this problem.

While traveling down the road entering the freeway the vehicles power steering stopped working rendering the vehicle no control. After nearly getting hit we were able to slow the vehicle down on the freeway and push it off of the road. The vehicle was not driveable and was towed to a dealership where it was learned that the power steering needed replaced for $1500 dollars out of the warranty.
