I was driving at approximately 25mph in a subdivision and my car turned off. I pulled over immediately to try to crank it but it would not crank. I noticed smoke coming from the engine so I exited the vehicle with my child. The smoke got way worse within a few minutes and then the front engine was engulfed in flames.
I first started noticing this transmission acceleration problem about a year ago when my vehicle has been in stop-and-go traffic for at least 30 minutes or more, the transmission feels like it is going to stall. Pressing on the gas won-??t accelerate the vehicle or it is very slow to start moving no matter how hard the gas pedal is pressed. The rpm speeds to 4-5 x1000 but the transmission gear feels stuck at 40mph max. Usually I have noticed that if I am able to pull over and stop the car for a few minutes, I can restart the car engine and didn-??t-??t see signs of the problem again. My husband believes it-??s a transmission and gear shift problem that once the Rogue has been in stop-and-go traffic the system isn-??t shifting gears correctly. It put myself and my husband at risk since we took the vehicle on a road trip, my husband finally witnessed this happening. It usually only happened to me when I-??m coming home sitting in traffic. When I got off the freeway to surface streets, being stuck at stoplights or stop signs had this issue occur a couple of times. I took my vehicle to my local Nissan dealer for inspection but the tech. said they couldn-??t mimic/reproduce the problem/issue I was reporting. No other inspection has been made. And no warning lights came on during the problem the few times it has happened. The engine was really loud this most recent time because I was unable to stop and pullover right away. I am open to having my vehicle inspected further for this issue.
I started noticing about 1.5 years ago that the HVAC system was not working properly. The driver's side will not heat or cool properly. I researched this issue online and NUMEROUS Nissan Rogue owners between 2014-2018 all experienced the same issue. A few posted fixes and I tried all of them but none worked. I should mention I bought this 2015 Nissan Rogue in 2020 and it only had 26,000 miles. It still only has about 42,000 miles. Nissan Consumer Affairs told me to get a diagnosis from a Nissan dealership - the fix is a complete replacement of the HVAC system at the cost of $3000 which I don't have. Nissan Consumer Affairs refused to compensate for any part of the fix. At first I though well, I can deal with it and just use blankets to keep warm in the winter. The dangerous situation happened when I was driving during a recent California rain storm (which we hadn't had in a few years). I was on the freeway when the front windshield fogged up and since the HVAC controls the defrosting ability the car was unable to defrost the front windshield. I suddenly had 0 visibility while driving on the freeway and I almost crashed! I had to very carefully pull all the way over without the ability to see. I told Nissan Consumer Affairs about this and they still refuse to deal with the situation. It's a very common problem (if you research it online) and should be part of a Nissan recall before someone dies in a crash.
Front passenger seat airbag sensors failed. Airbag light continues to stay on. Dealer rest and sensors failed again several days later. Dealer estimated $6,000+ for repair.
My horn stopped working and my airbag light came on. Now I don-??t know if my airbag is going to randomly deploy. The dealership wants more than $600 to fix this faulty part and there are several forums suggesting that this is a known problem. How can a single mother keep herself and her teen driver-??s safe while driving this car?

The heat does not work. I live in Illinois and the heater/defrost is essential for safely operating the vehicle. With no defrost, my visibility is impaired and it is not safe to drive. When we had our first cold snap a few weeks ago (Nov 2022) I turned on the heater but only cold air blew out. If I had needed to defrost the windows it would not have worked and I would not have felt safe driving. The Nissan service department said it is the heater core case/HVAC and needs to be completely replaced. This is a factory defect and Nissan should issue a recall. There have been several complaints about this problem.
No heating on drivers side. During winter cannot clear windshield for driving. Consider this a safety hazard as we cannot see clearly enough when driving vehicle in inclement or cold weather. Took to mechanic who advised it was a -??bend door actuator-?? that needed replacement. Once he got involved, it turns out to be a stripped plastic gear in the heater box. To replace the heater box, the entire dashboard has to be removed which is unheard of on a 2015 car that has not hit 60k in miles. Bought this new, and car has been garaged and properly maintained since purchase.
The spindles (Nissan's word) that control the tailgate fail without warning. when the tailgate is opened from outside or inside it opens all the way but when I step up to the car's rear compartment, the tailgate came down on my head. I took it to the dealership and they told me that the spindles were on back order. That indicates to me that the problem is widespread,
heat box malfunction it blows cold air from the driver's side and hot from the passenger side I have difficulty seeing in the rain and snow does not defrost the windshield I have had this problem since I bought the car me and my brother and we purchased two identical 2015 Nissan Rogue at the same time and the same dealer.
I would like to know when the remedy will be ready for NHTSA RECALL 22V-024. I called Nissan today and was told they didn't have a date. They escalated my concern about driving a vehicle that a fire could start in and where would I be if that happened. It is not possible for me to not drive as I commute 40 minutes to work. Will Nissan replace my vehicle if it catches fire? The recall notification said the fix would be available Spring 2022. This was far from an inexpensive vehicle and I am not currently in a position to not drive it or have it catch fire.
2015 Nissan Rogue. Consumer writes in regard to vehicle collecting water when it rains. The consumer stated the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time determining a fix for the water leak.
The cvt transmission died at 98,000 miles. Stalled I-??m the middle of driving. Nissan extended the manufacture warranty to 84,000 to cover the cvt replacement but the transmissions are going out after this mileage.
Outside Temperature Sensor indicates -40'F. This causes the AC to blow hot air even when set to 60'F during the summer. It may cause driver or passenger to overheat. AC problems on 2015 Rogues are the most common problem. Cost to replace AC Auto Amp. is approximately $900.
I received a recall in January 2022 and at the end of May 2022 the parts to correct are still not available"? I have contacted my dealer twice. Why would a company issue a recall and not have the material to repair"
Air conditioning stopped working causing the windshield to fog up and limit visibility. Defroster is ineffective without air conditioning. Systemic air conditioning problems exist in 2015 and 2016 Nissan Rogues. Countless vehicles have been brought to dealerships for repairs that don't fix the problem. Nissan acknowledges the problem but does not provide a bulletin to dealerships on how to correct the problem. This is a dangerous flaw.
As I was driving on the highway, my vehicle stopped driving forward and operating as if it was in neutral. My vehicle started rolling backwards on the road so I turned into the shoulder. I turned my car on and off to see if it would correct and it did not. Now, the Nissan dealership is replacing the entire transmission.
My 2015 Rogue has a heating issue. The heat is only warm on passenger side. This also means the defrost doesn't work which can cause issues of seeing the road in rainy or snowy conditions.
The windshield wiper recoil off has s leak and it drips into the blower for the heater and freezes. When this happens, the heater does not work at all. This causes visibility issues as the defrost/heater will stop working while you-??re driving.
