Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2008-2013 Nissan Rogue vehicles manufactured March 7, 2007, to November 26, 2013, and 2014 Nissan Rogue Select vehicles manufactured September 23, 2013, to July 2, 2014. The affected vehicles may experience an electrical short in the harness connector due to a mixture of snow/water and salt seeping through the carpet on the driver side floor near the harness connector.
An electrical short can cause a vehicle fire.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the kick panel wiring harness connector and will if necessary install a new harness connector and waterproof seal, free of charge. The recall began on February 26, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.

NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2008-2009 ROGUE VEHICLES. A SCREW IN THE STEERING GEAR HOUSING COVER MAY LOOSEN OVER TIME AND COULD FALL OUT. AS IT LOOSENS, THE STEERING RESPONSE OF THE VEHICLE MAY BE COMPROMISED BUT THE DRIVER WILL RETAIN STEERING CONTROL.
THE SCREW MAY EVENTUALLY COME OUT OF THE STEERING GEAR COVER. IF LARGE STEERING INPUTS ARE MADE WITH THE COVER SCREW MISSING THE PINION SHAFT MAY COME OUT OF THE STEERING GEAR RESULTING IN A COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT WHETHER THE STEERING GEAR COVER SCREW IS LOOSE AND WILL BE RETIGHTENED TO THE PROPER SPECIFICATION. DEALERS WILL ALSO INSTALL A COVER PLATE TO PREVENT THE SCREW FROM POSSIBLY COMING OUT OF THE STEERING GEAR. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING NOVEMBER 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

AFTER A VERY COLD DAY IN TENNESSEE, THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGERS SIDE DOORS IN MY NISSAN ROGUE WOULD NO LONGER OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. AFTER VISITING THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT THE BRACKET AND THE CABLE ACTUATOR IN BOTH DOORS HAD GONE BAD AND THAT THE COST FOR THE REPAIR WOULD BE OVER $1,000. THE FACT THAT THIS IS NOT CONSIDERED A SAFETY HAZARD AND THAT NISSAN IS NOT STANDING BEHIND ITS PRODUCT IS APPALLING. WHILE THERE HAS NOT BEEN AN ACCIDENT YET, THIS MALFUNCTION COULD BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN EMERGENCY RESPONDER (OR HELPFUL CITIZEN) BEING ABLE TO GET TO SOMEONE FOLLOWING AN ACCIDENT OR VEHICLE FIRE. NOT ONLY IS THIS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD FOR THIS REASON, IT ALSO PRESENTS PERSONAL SAFETY ISSUES WITH TRYING TO CLIMB INTO THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE TO OPEN THE VEHICLE?S FRONT DOOR. THIS CREATES OPPORTUNITIES FOR ROBBERY AND ABDUCTION. NISSAN HAS FAILED TO STAND BEHIND ITS PRODUCT BY NOT PROVIDING TO ITS CUSTOMERS A VOLUNTARY RECALL TO REPLACE, AT THEIR COST, THE PARTS WHICH ARE CAUSING THE SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

ON DEC.30 2013 WENT TO OPEN FRONT DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AND HEARD A POP AND DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN, HAD TO CRAWL THROUGH PASSENGER SIDE TO OPEN DOOR. THE NEXT DAY WENT TO OPEN PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND SAME THING HAPPENED. I TOOK OFF DOOR PANEL AND COULD SEE WHERE THE CABLES HAD COME OFF. TOOK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID ON BOTH SIDES THE CABLES HAD POPPED OUT OF THE LATCHES. THEY CHARGED ME $500.00 TO FIX BOTH DOORS. HAPPENED AGAIN IN MARCH 2014 ON PASSENGER SIDE. *TR

ONE DAY, THERE WERE NO ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. THE FOLLOWING DAY, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE, THE CAR EXHIBITED EXTREMELY POOR ACCELERATION FROM A STOP (I.E. STARTING A CAR IN 4TH GEAR). THE CAR WOULD VERY SLOWLY ACCELERATE TO ~25MPH, THEN BEGIN TO PERFORM BETTER. CLEARING AN INTERSECTION FROM A STOPPED POSITION TOOK UP TO 5-10S LONGER THAN IT SHOULD HAVE. ALSO DETERMINED THAT THE CAR NO LONGER HAD FUNCTIONING BREAK LIGHTS. CAR WAS NOT SAFELY USABLE. SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL, BASED ON INTERNET SEARCHES. THE DEALER CLAIMED INITIALLY TO HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE AT ALL OF THIS ISSUE. DEALER REPLACED BRAKE PEDAL SWITCH AND PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. REPAIR WAS NOT DONE UNDER WARRANTY, BUT WAS DONE UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY, SO I STILL HAD TO PAY TO HAVE THIS KNOWN, SAFETY CRITICAL ISSUE REPAIRED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ERRONEOUSLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE SOFTWARE NEEDED TO BE UPGRADED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE.

DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER DOORS FAIL TO OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TO OPEN BACK PASSENGER DOOR AND MANUALLY ENGAGE THE DRIVER DOOR LOCK FROM THE INSIDE. TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND DEALER STATED THAT THE CHARGE TO FIX BOTH DOORS WOULD BE $650. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS CAN NOT BE A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY NISSAN AND OUR GOVERNMENT. I GUESS WHEN IT COMES TIME TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE I WILL NOT VISIT A NISSAN NOR INFINITY DEALERSHIP. NISSAN SHOULD BE ASHAMED! *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED BETWEEN 70-75 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. AFTER EXITING OFF THE INTERSTATE AND STOPPING AT THE STOP SIGN, I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AND IT STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE MOTOR WAS STILL RUNNING BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. THERE HAVE BEEN TWO OTHER INCIDENTS, 8/9/13 AND 10/10/13, WHEN I WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE AND MY ROGUE STALLS AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND I HAD CARS BEHIND ME AND CARS IN THE RIGHT LANE. I PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND WAS EVENTUALLY ABLE TO GET OVER AND HAD JUST ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND SAT FOR 5-10 MINUTES. I THEN PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND IT DROVE NORMAL. PEOPLE NEED TO BE MADE AWARE THAT THESE NISSAN VEHICLES WILL STALL WITHOUT WARNING AND IT SEEMS TO OCCUR MOST OFTEN WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS SO PASSING VEHICLES ON TWO WAY ROADS CAN BE DANGEROUS! I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY NISSAN THAT IT'S THE TRANSMISSION AND IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSAN.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 44,000.

DEFECTIVE DOOR HANDLE/LOCKING ASSEMBLY. BOTH FRONT DOORS HANDLE ASSEMBLY FROZE UP PREVENTING ME FROM OPENING BOTH DOORS. IT COST ME $480 FOR THE REPAIRS TO BOTH DOORS. IN THE MEAN TIME MY WIFE HAD CLIMB FROM THE BACK SEAT TO PPT HE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS OUT WARRANTY AND NISSAN DID PAY FOR THE COST OF THE PARTS, I FEEL THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED AS A SAFETY RECALL. NISSAN SAYS THERE NO WAY TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN NISSAN AND MOST LIKELY WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM THEM IN THE FUTURE. *TR

MY 2009 NISSAN PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM OUTSIDE, ALSO DRIVER DOOR IS THE SAME, HAVE TO CLIMB INTO BACK SEAT TO OPEN UP. TOOK TO FUSSILLO NISSAN IN NY. TECH SAID DOOR CABLE WAS FROZEN AND BROKE FROM HANDLE. I SEE THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH ALL LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THIS VEHICLE. SERVICE MANAGER ADMITTED THAT THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE FOR EVERYONE WITH THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT COVERED AND THE JOB WAS GOING TO COST ME ALMOST $600. WHAT IS NISSAN DOING ABOUT THIS??? *TR

2009 NISSAN ROGUE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE DOOR HANDLES LATCH ASSEMBLY FREEZING PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE DRIVER'S DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE CABLE ON THE ACTUATOR HAD BECOME DETACHED. THE DEALER ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR IT, BY RE-ATTACHING THE CABLE. IN NOVEMBER 2011, DURING FREEZING TEMPERATURES, THE DOOR FAILED AGAIN. THE CABLE HAD DETACHED AGAIN. SO THE MECHANIC RE-ATTACHED IT WITH A WIRE TIE. ON DECEMBER 19, 2013, THE DOOR FAILED AGAIN, WHEN THE CONSUMER WALKED AROUND TO THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR, HE DISCOVERED IT HAD FAILED AS WELL. THE CONSUMER DISCOVERED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN HAD BEEN ISSUED FOR THE PROBLEM. *JB

HTTP://WWW.PETITIONONLINE.COM/PETITIONS/NISSANML/SIGNATURES?PAGE=21 MY LOCK ACTUATOR HAS GONE BAD AND I WAS INFORMED BY MY NISSAN DEALERSHIP THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND IT SHE BE PLACED ON A RECALL LIST. I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND IT LOOKS LIKE MANY DIFFERENT ROGUES HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A VERY COSTLY FIX AND DUE TO FAULTY MANUFACTURING WE AS CONSUMERS HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER WITH HOPES THAT IT WILL CONTINUE TO WORK. MY CAR IS NOT OLD THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON TO REPLACE THIS PART SO SOON. *TR

WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE CAR STALLS, AFTER A BRIEF PERIOD (30 SEC.) OF VIBRATING THE CAR JERKS FORWARD. THE TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY AND VIOLENTLY SHAKES AFTER DRIVING FOR MORE THAN 3 MILES. WE ARE IN CONSTANT FEAR THAT THE CAR IS GOING TO DIE WHEN IDLING AND HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL NISSAN SERVICE CENTERS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THE CVT IN THIS MODEL AND YEAR ARE ALL LIKE THIS. IT IS NOT SAFE FOR A CAR TO DRIVE LIKE THIS. *TR

BOTH DRIVERS DOOR AND FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCKS NOT WORKING. THEY ARE NOT UNLOCKING WITH REMOTE OR KEY. THE REMOTE OPENS THE REAR DOORS ONLY, THEN YOU HAVE TO CLIMB IN AND REACH THE INSIDE FRONT LATCH TO OPEN THE DOOR. THEN GET OUT THE VEHICLE AND ENTER THRU THE FRONT DOOR. NISSAN HAD OR HAS RECALL ON THE 2008 ROUGE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY NOT ON THE 2009 ROGUE? I GOGGLED MY PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WE NEED A RECALL ON THE 2009 AS WELL. THANKS FOR LISTENING. *TR

I OWN A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE WITH 44,000 MILES ON IT. ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO MY DRIVER'S SEAT WOULDN'T OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE, AND ABOUT A WEEK AGO THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT. I AM NOW OBLIGATED TO ENTER MY CAR THROUGH THE BACK SEAT. I DID MY RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO MANY ROGUES AND THERE ARE EVEN RECALLS ON SOME MODEL YEARS (EXCEPT FOR MINE OF COURSE). THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE HUDSON NISSAN ON ROUTE 440 IN JERSEY CITY, NJ WANT TO CHARGE ME $130.00 JUST TO TAKE THE DOOR APART TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE IS. NEEDLESS TO SAY I DID NOT AGREE WITH THE PRICE. WHAT DO I DO? I HAVE A NEARLY NEW CAR THAT I CAN'T GET INTO AND THIS IS A NISSAN ISSUE AS IT HAS HAPPENED TO MANY ROGUE OWNERS. *TR

WHILE EXITING THE INTERSTATE THE CAR JARRED TO A STOP. WHEN WE TRIED TO ACCELERATE AT THE GREEN LIGHT THE ENGINE REVVED BUT WOULD NOT MOVE. WHEN WE PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY THE TRANSMISSION CAUGHT AND THE CAR STRUGGLED TO GO 5 MILES AN HOUR- JARRING ALL THE WAY. WE BARELY MADE IT TO A PARKING LOT BEFORE IT DIED COMPLETELY. *TR

THE CVT WAS REPLACE AT 95000 MILES DUE TO TOTAL FAILURE. AT 12000 MILES WHILE DRIVING ON A ROAD WITH LOTS OF HILLS THE CAR LOST POWER AND SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN TO 30 MPH. IT SEEMED TO RESET AFTER SHUTTING DOWN AND LETTING THE CAR REST FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. I TALKED TO MY MECHANIC AND THEY SUGGESTED CLEANING THE FUEL INJECTORS AND A NEW AIR FILTER. I DID THAT AND IT STILL HAPPENED. I BROUGHT IT TO NISSAN, THEY CHECKED IT FOR 3 DAYS AND FOUND NOTHING. THEY SAID TO WAIT FOR A CODE TO COME UP AND THEY COULD GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT. AT 140,000 MILES THE CODE CAME UP AS AN INTERMITTENT TORQUE CONVERTER CIRCUIT PROBLEM. NISSAN THEN SAID THAT THEY COULDN'T RECREATE THE CODE SO THE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO FIX. AFTER READING SEVERAL POSTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE SAME REACTION FROM NISSAN, I THINK THAT A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IS IN ORDER. I DON'T THINK THAT SOMEONE NEEDS TO DIE DUE TO NISSANS FAULTY VEHICLES, FOR ACTION TO BE TAKEN. *TR

I WAS LEAVING A STORE AND GAS LIGHT CAME ON. I KNEW THAT I HAD FILL UP BEFORE ENTERING THE I-95 INTERSTATE AND I WAS A BIT PERPLEXED. I DROVE TO A GAS STATION AND FILLED UP ONCE AGAIN AND NOTICE THAT THE GAS GAUGE FILLED TO ITS CAPACITY. THIS OCCURRED A FEW MONTHS AGO AND I DISMISSED IT. ON 9/19/13, I STOPPED AT A GAS STATION AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ON 9/20/13 I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A FUEL SENDING UNIT WHICH WOULD COST ME $1,087 WHICH INCLUDES PARTS AND LABOR. OF COURSE, I DECLINE TO REPAIR IT BECAUSE AT THAT TIME I WAS FRUSTRATED WITH NISSAN AND WAS THINKING ABOUT TRADING IN THE CAR. PREVIOUSLY, I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK ON TWO OCCASIONS FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WHICH I WAS GRATEFUL THAT IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AND TREATED THIS INCIDENT AN OCCURRING PROBLEM WITH 09 ROGUE. I ONLY HAVE THIS VEHICLE FOR 1.5 YEARS AND I AM FEARFUL EACH TIME THAT I DRIVE. EVEN THE TRIPLE A YOUNG MAN TOLD ME TO GET RID OF IT BECAUSE WITHIN THE LAST MONTH HE HAS TO TOW QUITE A FEW. MY COMMUTE ON INTERSTATE EACH DAY IS WORRISOME BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT. NOW I AM STUCK WITH A NEW PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT I AM STILL PAYING FOR AND SPENDING MORE MONEY ON GAS BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAN HAPPEN . PLEASE WE MUST DO SOMETHING WITH THIS COMPANY NISSAN. I PLACED A COMPLAINT TODAY 9/23/13 AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK SINCE THEY DON'T HAVE ANY INFORMATION WITH THIS TYPE OF RECALL. (LIARS) THEY ARE LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT ON NISSANS. I AM NOT CERTAIN IF I WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON A CAR THAT I TRULY FEEL UNSAFE WITH OR WRITE OFF MY LOSS AND LOOK FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE. EITHER WAY, I HAD TO WRITE THIS COMPLAINT SINCE I HAVE NEVER FELT SO UNSAFE DRIVING A VEHICLE.

I HAD DRIVEN MY 2009 NISSAN ROGUE FROM NEW JERSEY TO BOSTON, FAIRLY HEAVY TRAFFIC. AS I NEARED MY DESTINATION, I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. AS I PULLED AWAY TO TAKE A LEFT TURN, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND LIMPED ACROSS ROUTE 1, FORCING HEAVY, HIGH SPEED, ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO STOP. I SPOKE WITH THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT IT IS A PROBLEM AND THAT NISSAN IS NOT OFFERING A SOLUTION. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE NJ DEALER TO LEAVE IT FOR A COUPLE DAYS FOR THEM TO TROUBLE SHOOT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. AND HAD ME PAY TO CHANGE THE FLUID. THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND THE DEALER REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE CAR IS NOT PREDICTABLE AND SAFE TO DRIVE WITH MY 2 YOUNG DAUGHTERS. FWIW, THE DEALER THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION A FEW YEARS AGO UNDER WARRANTY FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. ANY LOCAL DEALER DENIES THIS ISSUE EXISTS DESPITE THE TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY ON THE INTERNET. HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/DIRECT/VIEW/.F213D8F. *JS
