An electrical short can cause a vehicle fire.

Electrical system, Air bags, Aug 18, 2013, fire
MY CAR WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. I HAD ARRIVED HOME AT 3:30PM ON A SATURDAY. THE NEXT MORNING AT 10:00AM, I WENT TO MY CAR TO FIND THAT SOMETHING HAD EXPLODED INSIDE. THERE HAD BEEN A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FIRE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE, INCLUDING THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT, THE DASH, AND THE LOCATION OF THE AIRBAG. MY BEST GUESS AS TO WHAT HAPPENED IS THAT THE AIRBAG EXPLODED (NOT DEPLOYED), CAUSING A FIRE, WHICH DAMAGED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AND CAUSED A LOT OF COSMETIC DAMAGE. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF THE AIRBAG, OTHER THAN SOME SPRINGS, IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE IT SIMPLY DEPLOYED. THE INSURANCE COMPANY HAS DEEMED IT A TOTAL LOSS. I FEEL THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NISSAN SHOULD COVER, NOT ME OR MY INSURANCE COMPANY. BUT I CANNOT DETERMINE WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED OR HOW TO PURSUE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST THEM. THANKFULLY, NO ONE WAS INJURED. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THE DIRE WAS SELF-CONTAINED, AND THE ENTIRE CAR DIDN'T EXPLODE. *TR

I TOOK A TRIP TO CHICAGO GOING THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS IN TENNESSEE. AS I WAS GOING UP THE MOUNTAIN MY 2010 NISSAN ROGUE BEGIN TO SLOW DOWN, DISENGAGE FROM MY CRUISE CONTROL NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESS THE PETAL MY CAR WOULD NOT GO ANY FASTER. THIS OCCURS THROUGH OUT THE TRIP TO CHICAGO AND LATER TO NORTH CAROLINA. BEFORE TAKING THE TRIPS I HAD MY CTV LIGHT COME ON AND THE CAR WOULD ALMOST CUT OFF OR STALL WHEN I CAME TO A STOP. I TOOK THAT IN TO MY NISSAN PERSON WHO FIX THAT PROBLEM BUT COULD NOT FIX MY NEW PROBLEM BUT REFERRED ME TO MY DEALER. HE STATED THAT NISSAN WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY UP TO 120,000.00. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN TO THE DEALERS BUT THEY WOULD ONLY DRIVE IT AROUND THE BLOCK, NO LIGHT WOULD COME, NO CODE TO FIX. PLEASE REFER TO THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY EDMUND .COM CONCERNING THE CVT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH THE NISSAN 2010 ROUGE. THERE ARE TWO SERVICE BULLETIN THAT SHOW THIS PROBLEM ONLY OCCURS ON LONG DISTANCE TRAVEL. UNFORTUNATELY , NISSAN RECOMMEND THAT I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR PUTTING MY LIFE AND FAMILY AT DANGER UNTIL THE PROBLEM OCCURS, ONLY IF THERE IS A LIGHT COME ON THEN BRING IT IN TO THEM TO FIX. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, THEY DO NOT WANT TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS THE CVT NEW TRANSMISSION. I AM SUPPOSE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE AND MAKE MY MONTHLY PAYMENT EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A SERIOUS DEFECT WITH THIS CAR. I WANT NISSAN TO PURCHASE BACK THIS CAR AT FAIR MARKET VALUE AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MY GOVERNMENT RECALL THESE CARS BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. *TR

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE STOP LIGHT SWITCH IN THE COMPUTERIZED ENGINE OF MY ROGUE. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE IN A NORMAL TIME FRAME FROM 0-15 MILES PER HOUR, 6-7 SECONDS TO RESPOND. IT WOULD NOT MAINTAIN SPEEDS OVER 60 MILES AN HOUR, SLOWING DOWN WITHOUT ANY CONTROL OVER IT. IT WOULD NOT RESPOND PROPERLY WHEN I PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS AS I IMPEDED TRAFFIC AND COULD NOT FUNCTION AS NEEDED IN HIGH TRAFFIC AND HIGHWAY SETTINGS. AS I RESEARCH, I SEE THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON COMPLAINT FOR SEVERAL YEARS. *TR

2010 ROGUE HAS REPEATED PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATION. SPECIFICALLY FROM A STOPPED POSITION. AND WHEN ON A HILL, IF YOU ARE STOPPED, IT WON'T ACCELERATE AT ALL, EVEN WHEN PUSHING DRIVING PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. ON TOP OF THIS, IT NOW WILL NOT HOLD A CRUISE WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON THE INTERSTATE. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN LEFT FROM A STOPPED POSITION WITHOUT A GREEN ARROW. THIS IS APPARENTLY, ACCORDING TO COMPLAINTS, A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. HAVE CALLED DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES TO SCHEDULE SERVICE AND TELL THEM ABOUT THIS MAJOR PROBLEM ONLY TO BE TOLD I WOULD GET A CALL BACK WITH NO CALL-BACK. AM SHOWING UP TOMORROW WITH MY CAR INSISTING ON AN ANSWER. *TR
