On 4-27-2023 With no warning light's or any symptoms of problems, I made a left turn at a busy intersection and upon acceleration of the gas the car felt as if wanted to stall. I had a brief decline in power with a bit of locking of the steering wheel then it jolted forward and ran normal. I'm glad I was only a half mile from home to park it safely. On 4-28-2023 I was able to drive it a mile from home without incident to have the oil changed, as well as fuel injectors cleaned and radiator serviced, in hope that it would help with the issue, but it did not. I was able to get it home and as i was about to parallel park I put it in reverse and turned my wheels and it began locking of the wheels on and off. I am blessed to have made it home and not be on the road with my family.

-engine light was on and nissan ran a diagnostic and found the code number p0603 and needs a new ECM -this could cause an accident as the driver can loose control of vehicle at any moment causing the driver and others at high risk -the problem was confirmed by the dealer service center -the engine light was the only indicator and other private car auto body stated the battery needed replacement but nissan ran a diagnostic to find it was the ECM.

When driving and steering, turning left or right, going over bumps in the road, turning curves, there is a clicking noise in my steering column. When I put on brakes it does it also. I am not sure if there is something inside broken or loose. I have taken it to a Nissan dealer and they can't find anything, but they hear the noises, the service manager even recorded the noises. My seat slides on the power racking system. My seat will side from front to back, only a fraction, but it also slides or rocks from left to right. I am afraid that the seat will come unattached if I am in a collision. The ABS will often make the flashing noise and attempt to brake if it sees a shadow on the road, like a parking garage or trees over a road. I have asked the Nissan dealer in asheboro several times and they can't find any issues with the 3 problems that I have listed. Granted I did not purchase from them, so they really don't want to assist me. I purchased the extra warranties, bumper to bumper, and that has not given me any assistance as well. Please help. I want to get rid of this unfit car but I will not be able to because of the noises it is making. This started at about 31,000 and now I have 47,000, numerous trips to a dealer to no resolve. I have had the right- wheel, tire rods or brakes something replaced 3 times, I have had a new heating/air, steering grommet $ $194, out of pocket, break gasket, $50, and these noises that are so bad that I can't stand to drive the car, for over 1 years or so now.

2017 Nissan Rogue with only 62674 miles needed inner tie rods replaced 4/1/2020 tie rods were only available as part of the entire steering rack assembly at a cost of $1450 from Nissan dealership. Was told no help was available for the cost since it was outside of the manufacturer warranty learned that many of the same part have been replaced locally sounded excessive for age of vehicle and the critical nature of the steering components

I recently got into to a car accident on, 9/15/2019. I hit a parked car in order to avoid an accident. I was not going no more than 10-15 miles per hour on a city street as I steered the car towards the right side to avoid an accident on the left side and my axle cracked. The police officer on the scene suggested I reach out to the manufacturer as he stated that the axle was not suppose to crack with such a minor incident. Per his suggestion I am writing to you.

Driving on interstate about 10 mph. Car suddenly makes this loud noise and shuts off. It did restart and I didn't lose electrical as I was on blue tooth call but if happened when I was going faster this would have been a catastrophe!. this is the second time though. The first time I was in parking lot and I thought I did something as it was a new car. I was not touching anything but steering wheel and lightly touching brake as I was in traffic but there was quite some room between me and the car ahead.

On August 22, 2019, while driving the automatic emergency breaking system engaged (flashing lights, warning beeps and a grinding noise) while I was driving about 30 to 40 mph, causing the car to stall and forcibly jerk. This almost caused me to get rear ended. There was no obstruction ahead. This had already happened 2 other times and the dealership could not find anything wrong with it. I took it immediately after it happened the third time

At 8000 miles, I had to have the right front strut replaced, and now I have 23,000 miles on it and I am going on my 4th strut, right front. A popping clicking noise when I turn or back up. Driving a 4 hr trip, while driving about 3 hrs, the air conditioning froze up and stopped working. I could hear the fan on full blast but nothing was coming out. I turned it off for 20 minutes and then it came back on with cool air. It is in the shop now for a heater/cooler box and the 4th strut replacement.

This car has a serious default Rogue sport model 2017. You drive the car up to 50mph and it stops down to 20mph without any notice. It does ! symbol in the middle and wihthout warning you lose control of the car and it goes down to a low mph. This is so dangerous if someone is driving behind you closely. This has happened to be on highways as well as local area streets. The car is leased and not even 1 year old. Nissan has not taken this serious and a lot more people have complained, they dont care and I hope you demand they look into this. It has happened 5X in less than a year. I have been in touch with Nissan Consumer Affairs and no one cares!!!!!!!! I refuse to drive this car, its dangerous! someone at corporate must taken action

I was traveling on the interstate approximately 72 to 74 miles per hour when the steering wheel locked up and I immediately lost control of the vehicle. My first reaction was to press the brakes. I then was thrown into the median and hit the guardrail and all of the driver side airbags deployed. I had to seek medical attention.

I heard a very slight noise but no one else could hear it. After about 5 months I took the car to the dealer and he couldn't hear it. 3 more months went by and I insisted that I wanted to test drive it again with a young person who could hear well. The noise was confirmed. I have a bent axle, bent strut and worn bearings
