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.

AS I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE (2011 NISSAN ROGUE) CUT OFF AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN. THE VEHICLE BEGAN JERKING AS I WAS DRIVING. ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AT A STOP LIGHT. DURING ANOTHER INCIDENT THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE GOING DOWN A RODE WITH A SMALL HILL. THEN STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY OFF RAMP. LUCKILY, WE HAD A SHOULDER AREA TO PULL OFF. AFTER SITTING IN THE VEHICLE AN WAITING FOR 10 - 15 MINUTES THE VEHICLES STARTED AND BEGAN DRIVING FINE. WE LATER TOOK THE CAR TO OUR LOCAL MECHANIC AND HER CHANGED ALL THE BELTS, AXLE RODS, BALL JOINTS AS WELLS AS AN OIL CHANGE. THE CAR ROD FINE FOR 3 MONTHS THEN BAM! ONCE AGAIN THE SAME ISSUES OCCURRED. OUR MECHANIC SUGGESTED RESEARCHING INFORMATION ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE HE FELT THE CAR TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT BE THE PROBLEM BUT FROM ALL THE PROBLEMS WE WERE TELLING HIM, HIM THINKS IT IS THE TRANSMISSION. WE HAVE READ SEVERAL CURRENT AND FORMER NISSAN ROGUE OWNER COMPLAINTS AND REALIZED THE PROBLEM WAS BIGGER THAN MINOR WEAR AND TEAR. I WOULD APPRECIATE IF THE NHTSA WILL TAKE THIS MATTER SERIOUSLY AND HAVE NISSAN TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FAULTY WORK IT IS DOING WITH VEHICLES PUT THE LIVES OF MILLIONS AT RISK DAILY!!!!

ON SUNDAY(12/3/17), I DROVE HOME FROM CHURCH, PARKED MY CAR IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE AND ENTERED MY HOUSE FOR LESS THAN TEN MINUTES PRIOR TO MY NEIGHBOR KNOCKING ON MY DOOR TO NOTIFY ME THAT MY NISSAN ROGUE WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. I HAD NO SUSPICION THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE TO CAUSE A FIRE. ONE BLOCK FROM MY HOUSE I WAS PULLED OVER BY A COP, WHO NOTIFIED ME THAT SHE SAW ONE OF MY HEADLIGHTS GO OUT. THERE WAS NO SOUND, LIGHT OR SMELL THAT WOULD HAVE INDICATED A PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE. I AM GRATEFUL FOR BEING IN MY HOUSE AT THE START OF THE FIRE. I HAD NO AFTERMARKET UPGRADES DONE TO MY VEHICLE AND IT WAS REGULARLY TAKEN IN FOR OIL CHANGES AND TO HAVE TIRE MAINTENANCE. MY CONCERN IS ANOTHER NISSAN ROGUE OWNER WILL NOT BE AS LUCKY AS I WAS AND INSTEAD WILL BE DRIVING AT THE TIME OF AN ENGINE FIRE.

MY CAR WOULD NOT START UP. ALL GAUGES WERE FLUTTERING AND FLICKERING, DOOR LOCKS WERE LOCKING AND UNLOCKING RAPIDLY, THEN THE CAR WENT DEAD. GAVE IT JUMP AND IT STARTED. NEXT DAY IT DIED AGAIN, GAVE IT A JUMP AND IT STARTED. WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT SHUT OFF SUDDENLY AND COMPLETELY, GIVING ME NO TIME TO STEER. THE CAR WAS DEAD AGAIN. REPLACED THE BATTERY AND PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. VERY DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING AND HAVE THE CAR JUST STOP COMPLETELY. I'M LUCKY I WASN'T HIT.

I BEGAN TO DRIVE THIS 2011 NISSAN ROGUE AND NOTICED WHEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, WHEN IT TURNED GREEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS ACCELERATOR AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER AND OVER AGAIN. WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING A SPEED OF 70 MILES MY CAR BEGAN TO LOOSE POWER, AND SPEED. IT WENT AS LOW AS 40 MILES AND I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT. I WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN HIGHWAY SPEED. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR INDICATORS EVER CAME ON. NEITHER WITH THE FIRST ISSUE, OR THE SECOND ISSUE. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING. I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 6 YR OLD WHO HAS SPECIAL NEEDS THE FIRST TIME. I BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY THINKING THAT WOULD HELP. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN, WHILE DRIVING WITH MY TWO BOYS AND TWO GRANDSON'S IN THE CAR. I AGAIN LOST POWER AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY ON THE HIGHWAY. CARS WERE FLYING BY ME, AND I FELT HELPLESS AS THIS VEHICLE WOULDN'T MAINTAIN A PROPER HI-WAY SPEED. VERY DEBILITATING. SCARY WHEN YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER YOUR VEHICLE SPEED, AND CAN'T ACCELERATE. NISSAN STATES THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THE CVT. THEY HAVE AGREED TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION AS IT HAS ALSO FAILED. BUT REFUSE TO PAY FOR THE WORK?? PLEASE HELP, AS I AM SURE I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON GOING THROUGH THIS RIGHT NOW. SO IF THEY REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION WHO'S TO SAY IT WONT HAPPEN AGAIN???

WHENEVER I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, AND MY VEHICLE IS ON CRUISE; THE CRUISE MECHANISM DROPS OFF AND THE SPEED STARTS TO DECLINE. YESTERDAY, THE VEHICLE WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO ZERO AND THE VEHICLE JUST COASTED ALONG THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. ONCE THE BATTERY WAS DISCONNECTED AND RECONNECTED; THE VEHICLE WILL RUN AGAIN, BUT THE RESET ONLY LASTS FOR ABOUT A DAY OR SO. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO MY VEHICLE WHEN TRAVEL INVOLVES LONG DISTANCES SINCE 2013 NOW. YESTERDAY, WAS THE FIRST DAY THE SPEED WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN COASTING ALONG THE HIGHWAY.

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND HAD ENTERED OUR PARKING LOT AND WAS READY TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPACE. AS I PULLED IN AND WAS AT A STOP , MY CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP IT. I STARTED TO TURN THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT BECAUSE THERE WAS A 2010 FORD EXPLORER THAT WAS PARKED IN FRONT BUT UNFORTUNATELY I HIT THE BACK END OF THE CAR AND PUSHED IT AT LEAST 30 FT DEAD STRAIGHT. MY CAR CONTINUED GOING TO THE RIGHT AND OVER A ISLAND AND BY THE TIME I GOT IT TO STOP THE AIR BAG HAD GONE OFF. I'M NOT SURE HOW THIS HAPPENED SINCE I WAS STOPPED, THERE WERE TWO WITNESSES THAT SAW MY VEHICLE STOPPED AND THE NEXT THING IT ACCELERATED. I KNOW MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE BECAUSE I WAS STOPPED AND READY TO EXIT THE VEHICLE BUT IT WOULD NOT STOP. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR ONLY 2 MONTHS OLD WITH A LITTLE OVER 1000 MILES. I HAVE GRANDCHILDREN THAT RIDE WITH ME AND AFTER MY VEHICLE GETS REPAIRED I WOULD BE AFFRAID TO DRIVE THIS. I AM THANKFUL THAT OTHER THAN BRUISES I AM OK AND THAT IT DID NOT HAPPEN ON A MAJOR STREET.
