During heavy rain storms the internal gutter under the sunroof fills with rainwater and fails to drain out through the weep-hole drain tubes located in the corners. This backed up rainwater then spills into the vehicle, onto the visors and even onto the driver and front seat passnger's heads. It distracts the driver, runs down and soaks the headliner and posts, and it will sooner or later penetrate the dashboard electrical systems causing all kinds of short circuits and danger. In my case, the dealer, several years ago, cleared out the internal weep-hole drain tubes using compressed air. But it now continues to flood, especially during a sudden heavy rainstorm. (The drain tubes need to be enlarged, and the seal around the sunroof-glass need to be improved).

In the past, I complained many times that the car was flooded and the driver's seat was shaking. After multiple inspections at the maintenance department of Nissan dealers, the cause of the problem is not uniform, and the service quality is extremely poor. It has not been solved until now, because water often enters the car and the glass produces fog that affects the vision. I am facing danger every day when I drive. I complained again today and hoped to resolve it completely.

Passenger Occupant Sensor is Malfunctioning. Very similar condition to Recall 16V244000. Nissan is stating that the VIN number is not impacted by the recall but I believe it is the same issue and that they did not expand the recall to cover all the affected vehicles. Dealer reports that to fix the issue, the lower seat cushion must be replaced as the occupant sensor is located in the seat cushion. Nissan nor the dealer have been helpful in trying to resolve this serious safety issue. Cost to replace seat cushion is over $2,000. Failure codes on diagnostic scan are B1020, B1021, and B1022. My request to NHTSA is to expand the recall campaign to wider VIN number range to encompass cars that may be affected.

The CVT transmission lost power, deceleratted on highway causing significant loss of speed. Nissan knows of this manufacturing defect and fails to help. Driving these vehicles put occupants and others on the road at great risk. Nissan should replace these transmission free of charge to the customer.

Nisan 2014 Rogue headlight covers are cloudy and get cloudier daily. It is in the factory plastic cover. I need to know if there is a recall on this problem because an owner can't afford to pay to have the whole front taken off to correct a problem with the car make. Please forward this to whoever can solve this headlight problem before an accident.

- Passenger occupancy sensor needs replacement. - The whole airbag system is deactivated, putting my children at risk. - An independent service center diagnossed the problem. - The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, requested an inspection, but they will not do a complimentary one, they are charging $250 to diagnose the vehicle. - The passenger airbag signal has been blinking red for the last 3 weeks. My wife and I, bought this vehicle new from a nissan dealership, we have been driving it for almost 8 years, the vehicle has never been involved in any accident. The issue is: Passenger airbag sign blinking red (for 3 weeks now), I called the 2 dealerships, and Nissan consumer affairs line, since our vehicle vin number, doesn’t have any recalls pending, I was informed that, the inspection and repairs, will come out of my pocket, because of the high nissan dealership fees, I took the vehicle to an independent service center and they diagnossed “Passenger occupancy sensor, needs replacement, and it is sold as the entire seat cushion” I looked online and saw that more than 187 people have had the same problem, and have had no help from Nissan. I am extremely concerned about my family safety, this is the vehicle I transport my children in, Nissan said “Once an airbag light is blinking, the whole system is disconnected, to prevent accidental deployment”. In other words… I have been driving my kids for the last 3 weeks, in a tin can with no airbags, and Nissan doesn’t seem to care enough, to schedule a complimentary inspection for my vehicle, or to add this issue to their recalls. I am repairing the airbag because it is a safety issue, but Nissan needs to care enough about their customers to make this right.

Hello, I own a 2014 Nissan Rogue. The driver side window does not and has not functioned for the past year. In addition, there is a burning/fuel type odor present in interior of the vehicle. In October of 2021, I had taken my vehicle to Reedman Toll Nissan (Drexel Hill, PA) and paid $225 to have the window problem diagnosed and it was determined that there was an issue with the harness that caused the malfunction and that the wire harness needed to be replaced at upwards of $700. I opted out of the replacement at that time. In July 2022, returned to the same location for an annual inspection and the dealer wanted to charge the now $250 diagnosis fee that was just paid for months prior. At this time the recall was known and the remedy was announced yet the dealer did not address. Last week I returned to the same location to have the Recall R21B9 performed and the outcome that was noted was that no issues were found. Yet the window still does not function. There was not a clear indication as why it was deemed that the recall is not what is causing the window to not operate. I reached out to the service manager and got conflicting responses to that questions. I have reached out several times to Nissan Customer Relations and for clarity and was told that it was a "one time only" deal to bring the vehicle in to address the recall, even if the work was not completed on that visit. There has been no indication that Nissan is willing to fix a known, safety recall issue. Instead complete denial of the issue. I appreciate your attention to this matter.

2014 NISSAN ROGUE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO NHTSA SAFETY RECALL 22V-024.
Seats, Other or unspecified, Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 20, 2022
This issue is with my 2014 Nissan Rogue that fell under the manufacturer issued recall R21B9 (NHTSA Recall 22V-024). I understand that Nissan has now claimed that this recall has been resolved, but their resolution has NOT fixed the damage done to my car due to the recall. The R21B9 recall states ... "In affected vehicles, if water and salt collect in the driver's side foot well, it may wick up the dash side harness tape and enter the connector. If this occurs, the dash side harness connector may corrode. If the connector becomes corroded, electrical current may continue to flow between the connector terminals, potentially causing issues such as driver's power window or power seat inoperative, All-Wheel Drive (AWD) warning light ON, battery discharge, and/or thermal damage to the connector. In rare cases, the corrosion could potentially lead to a fire, which may increase risk of injury." I brought my 2014 Nissan Rogue to a Nissan service center in April of '22 when I started smelling natural gas coming from my car. The service center diagnosed and confirmed that this natural gas smell was due to recall R21B9. The Nissan service center returned my car to me in October of '22 after the recall resolution was completed, however, my car is still smelling of natural gas, and I cannot continue to drive this car with my family breathing in this toxic odor smell. The Nissan service center returned my car and said the issue was "fixed" and there was nothing else they could do to my car to help with the smell. They did confirm that my car still smelled of natural gas. I opened a case through Nissan corporate and they referred me back to the Nissan service center. I got the car interior detailed and the engine cleaned; but it is still has a toxic odor smell. Nissan may have fixed the mechanical issue related to the recall, but the natural gas / toxic odor smell remains, and this is a health risk to me and my family. Again, Nissan confirmed this issue came from their recall.

The vehicle has a CVT issue that causes the error code P17F1. The vehicle has 143K plus mileage as a result Nissan doesn't was to fix it. The car stalls while in motion and has to be stopped and restarted presenting a huge safety concern. The sad part is Nissan knows about this quality issue and there was no recall to fix it. Now they are using the high mileage as the reason to not fix the problem. On 10/2/2022, while the following traffic, the car stalled and nearly cause a pill up if the driver behind me wasn't smart enough to divert quickly to another lane. Please I need help.

Water is entering the vehicle thru a body seam that is causing the wire harness to corrode. These vehicles have had this problem since they rolled off the assembly line and Nissan knows this. On November 14, 2014 Nissan put out this service bulletin detailing how to diagnose and fix the Rogue that was brought in for service due to the carpet being wet on the driver and/or front passenger floor. It seems that when the vehicle was assembled, some body seams were not sealed correctly or not at all. In my opinion this is why the wire harness is getting wet causing it to corrode. Instead of recalling the vehicle for the real issue of water getting into the vehicle and fixing that problem, they are recalling the vehicle for the problem the water is causing. In my opinion the water entering the vehicle is the cause of the recall and should be addressed appropiately and not just by inspecting the wire harness for corrosion and applying their bandaid to the solution. Below you will find information related to the service bulletin I am referring too.
