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 2011 ROGUE VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM AUGUST 17, 2010, THROUGH OCTOBER 30, 2010. THE CIRCUIT BOARD MAY NOT HAVE BEEN INSTALLED IN THE CORRECT POSITION ON CERTAIN ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) ASSIST CONTROL UNITS. THIS MAY CAUSE ADDITIONAL STRESS ON THE SOLDER OF THE TERMINAL TO THE CIRCUIT BOARD RESULTING IN THE SOLDER CRACKING AND SEPARATING COMPLETELY FROM THE CIRCUIT BOARD.
AS THE CIRCUIT BOARD FAILS, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FEATURE WILL STOP FUNCTIONING, INCREASING THE FORCE NEEDED TO STEER THE VEHICLE AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
NISSAN WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE EPS CONTROL UNIT IF NECESSARY, FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING DECEMBER 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY ROGUE 2011 AFTER HAVING SEVERAL SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR. THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED IN JANUARY 2012. I JUST PULLED OUT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN MY CAR FELT HEAVY AND DRAGGING AS I PUSHED ON THE ACCELERATOR. I WAS PUSHING DOWN HARD ON THE GAS AND THE CAR WAS BARELY MOVING. THEN IT DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. THIS PUT ME IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND REPAIRED. THE SECOND INCIDENT TOOK PLACE 4 DAYS LATER. THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE THE CAR DIED. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS AGAIN. ON FEBRUARY 3, 2012 I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR BEGAN SHAKING AND VIBRATING. I DROVE SOMEWHERE SAFE AND THEN HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. I AM HOPING THE CAR WILL BE RECALLED BECAUSE I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR AND I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER TRANSPORTATION. THIS IS NOT NORMAL TO HAVE SUCH SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH A NEW CAR. *TR
