Nissan subframe design is very unsafe. They have manufactured a common problem in aÃ'most alll Nissan., the front subfrane washers are hold in the subframe under pressure., bad bad idea thats not safe.tires and suspensin are subject to maximun vibration and hits by the road and those washers can not hold those impacts..time make look them fool, decadent, unsafe because they come out of place one by one come out from the subframe.,the result is lost of wheel control.,.trac system on.,limb mode transmissiion actives. My car makes sudden pulls..,to right or left..,I must be very careful cars both sides of me not to hit them.,the cost to repair this horrible manufactired problem border $2000., I must take all precautions necessary to avoid accidents on my only vehicle. And not hurt my family

The car driver side window door leaks water into the driver side floor near where the legs go. The floor is always wet has Mold on it. Mirror above driver side has mold on it. Seatbelts throughout the car have accumulated mold on them. Behind the driver side that rug is wet soaked as well. The water has traveled to the left side of the vehicle is now getting moist. The trunk never shuts there-€™s an electrical issue with the wiring. As I drive the trunk opens and shuts not completely but unlatches allowing the trunk to swing open. The electrical issue with the trunk has drained my battery several times. The notification of the door door being open is constantly draining my battery. I have been stranded several times due to this electrical issue. As I drive the steering wheel tilt to the right I cannot control my steering. My steering wheel now looks like it-€™s out of place it-€™s like if I try to drive straight the car will go slight right. I have three toddlers who I need to drive to daycare in order to go to work to provide for my family. I do not feel safe driving this car. I went to a Nissan dealership informed them of all these issues in my concerns that I did not feel safe driving this car and they said there was nothing I could do about it unless I paid for the fix. As a consumer defect I do not feel I should be responsible for the manufacture errors

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that the "check steering lock" message appeared and a chime was heard after turning the ignition to shut off the vehicle. The contact had not experienced the steering wheel locking upon turning off or restarting the vehicle. An independent mechanic stated that there was no steering lock function. The dealer (modern Nissan of winston salem, 5795 university pkwy, winston-salem, nc 27105, (336) 767-8260) inspected the vehicle, but did not provide a diagnosis. The dealer stated that there was no steering lock function; therefore, they were unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 45,000.

I was driving on IH10, in houston at 60-65mph, 6 lanes. Had driven 10-15 mile, car started trembling at steerring, did not feel in control of staying in my lane. Eased accelerator, tried again, felt same shimmy, unsafe. Easied to 1st exit, asap. 1st auto shop on campbell rd. Drove it, felt it was axle problem, but couldnt get it on lift til Monday. 2nd repair -silber auto service diagnosed same, got on lift within hour. Replaced next 2 days. I left, got rental, back home to nb, tx. Tuesday shop said it did not correct problem. Had it towed home by family Thursday, nb Nissan inspected Friday. 29,000 miles on auto, out of 5yr warranty. 'cannot duplicate concern" I do not feel safe driving Nissan at this time. I had gone to be with 93yr dad heights hospital w fractured lt hip, stayed 2 nites in hospital, started home to work 2 weekend shifts as pedi hh nurse on good Friday. I was prepared to keep auto for at least another 4-5 yr, as I am in late 60's. very disappointed w Nissan, this my 2nd Nissan. Havee read other people with same concerns with same type vehicle. Was hoping they would correct the unsafe " concern". will not trade into Nissan, but must take care of my own life/safety. Have taken good care of Nissan with oil changes, tire rotation, new battery, X2 new tires out of unrepairable flat, torn windshield rubber molding, flapping uncalled for on highway on previous trip to houston. Same nb Nissan repaired on my return. I had 22,000 miles then, last year. Nissan usa was unhelpful, unsynpathetic, I feel its just $$ & business as usual for auto industry. Thats what they do, pitiful.

Started 3 day ago stalling while driving down the road. The steering wheel locks up and lose power even with the accelerator all the way down. Almost got rear ended. The engine is still running but have to put in park and turn engine off and restart. Happened 4 times today on my way to work. You lose power with everything but engine still working. Called Nissan to see if there was a recall because there were a lot of complaints with this same problem and they said no. This is a very serious problem that needs to be investigated. Nissan wanted me to bring to dealership and pay $114 just to get a diagnois.online they said it was a fail safety which Nissan should be responsible before someone gets badly hurt or killed.

1st electrical problem started while driving on highway when on vacation August 2014. Navigational system and radio would not work. Steering wheel if sharp turn made a loud noise. Happened for 1 day and then everthing worked again. 9/24/14 my Nissan Rogue 2013 was now completely dead and had to manually unlock door. Called aaa who jump started vehicle and stated replacing battery would not solve problem. The aaa mechanic stated there was an electrical problem....something continued to drain the battery even after the jump start. Brought to coastal Nissan where I was told the vehicle tested fine and did not have an electrical problem. Never was I informed there are complaints from other owners of intermittent electrical problems and the Rogue not starting. My vehicle is almost at the end of its warranty. 10/21/14 coming out of the garage late last night when making sharp turns the steering wheel make loud noises. When I arrived home the driver's side window would not go up. This morning the vehicle made a clicking noise but the engine would not start. The drivers' side window will not go up or down although the lights and other windows work. Declined aaa jumpstart since this has been intermittent and I needed coastal Nissan to not be able to deny any problem. After checking on line it appears many other Nissan owners are having similar problems. It is very important to have an Agency like your's to ensure others are aware of safety issues and defects in vehicles. I also contacted the Consumer Affairs at Nissan per the emails I saw from other owners. If anyone else has this intermittent electrical problem just have vehicle towed so Nissan cannot deny a problem or fail to address and fix it.

Started to get a clicking noise in steering wheel when turning to left or right. Started happening around 16,000 miles. Took in to a Nissan service center to have checked. The response was that Nissan Corp. Would not allow service center to "just replace parts". dealer told me that there was nothing they could do? don't be concerned. I have a very uneasy feel when driving the car. Waiting for the clicking to become and issue in controlling the steering of the car. If this car had the clicking noise when I test drove it I would have not purchased it. New car, $30,000 and everytime I turn the steering wheel I can hear a click as well as my passengers.

Driving on hwy, went to make left at light, the wheels locked and the car slid into a guardrail damaging the entire front of vehicle. I want to know if there is some sort of factory defect with the braking or steering system and if so what is my recourse to have this car exchanged or repaired. I've had it for 3 months - don't believe anything should be locking on it. This is dangerous for me and any passengers I may have. I need to know about this brand new now damaged car of mine. Thank you.
