“On October 14 2022 I was driving my vehicle at about 35mph and came suddenly upon a stop sign. I hit the brakes and skidded through the intersection and collided with a pick up truck going about 15 mph. My rogue immediately caught fire from under the hood and the doors wouldn't open. The person I collided with was the only person amongst a dozen people who was brave enough and cared enough about my life to ram his body repeatedly into the rear passenger window and yanked me out of the car. Within 10 seconds of him doing that the vehicle exploded. I almost lost my life from what would be considered a minor collision due to the unexplained fire and explosion”

“VOLUME CHANGES ERRATICALLY SOMETIMES WHILE LISTENING TO MUSIC/RADIO. THIS IS A VERY HIGH RISE IN VOLUME WHICH CAN AFFECT DRIVING. ALSO, THERE IS AN ANDROID AUTO ISSUE WITH NISSAN AND THEY HAVE RELEASED A FIX FOR THE SAME FOR OTHER MODELS (NTB20-046). DURING THIS ISSUE EVEN IF THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION, THE SONGS SKIP SOME SECONDS OF CONTENT AND CHANGE VOLUME.”

“MY NEW NISSAN ROGUE HAS ONLY 356 MILES ON IT . UNIVERSAL NISSAN SOLD IT TO ME AND THE CAR'S COMPUTER SEEMS TO BE MALFUNCTIONING. IT SEEMS TO BE A HARDWARE ISSUE AND NOT A SOFTWARE ISSUE AS THEY TRIED UPDATING THE SOFTWARE WITH NO SUCCESS. THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIX THE AUTO SAFETY BRAKE. IT DOES NOT WORK FOR FRONT PEDESTRIANS OR REAR PEDESTRIAN SAFETY. THE VEHICLE ALSO DOES NOT APPLY THE BRAKES IN TIMES OF EMERGENCIES AS IT IS ADVERTISED TO DO SO. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN KILLED IN THE CAR BECAUSE THE COMPUTER IS MALFUNCTIONING AND SPEEDING UP INSTEAD OF APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE CAR IS A DEATHTRAP. I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS, THEY SAID I HAVE TO TALK TO THE DEALERSHIP. I ALSO RECEIVED A MILD CONCUSSION WHEN THE LIFT-GATE SMASHED DOWN ON MY HEAD AFTER I WAS CHECKING OUT THE TRUNK. THE LIFT-GATE WAS OPENING ON ITS OWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. WHEN I STOPPED TO CLOSE IT, IT CAME DOWN AND SMASHED ME IN THE HEAD BEFORE I EVEN ACTIVATED IT. ALSO, THE CAR IS BURNING GAS QUITE RAPIDLY. I AM GETTING LESS THAN 16 MILES TO THE GALLON, AND THIS IS MOSTLY FREEWAY DRIVING, EVEN THOUGH IT IS ADVERTISED AT 26 CITY, 31 HWY. . UNIVERSAL NISSAN TOLD ME THAT I HAVE TO PUT HIGH LEADED PREMIUM GAS OR I WILL NOT GET GOOD MILEAGE, BUT I DON'T THINK THAT IS CORRECT. THERE WAS ALSO A MYSTERIOUS FIRE BURN BENEATH THE CAR WHEN I PURCHASED IT. I BROUGHT THE NISSAN ROGUE IN TO BE CHECKED BY UNIVERSAL NISSAN SERVICE, AND THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR FOUR DAYS. THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIX THE CAR'S COMPUTER. THE PRO-PILOT ASSIST STEERING CORRECTION, DOESN'T WORK BECAUSE NISSAN'S CUSTOM LEATHER STEERING WRAP FOR THIS MODEL OF ROGUE INTERFERES WITH THE STEERING CORRECTION, YOU HAVE TO CONSTANTLY SQUEEZE THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE POINT OF EXERTION. I ASKED UNIVERSAL NISSAN TO REFUND MY MONEY, BUT THEY HAVE REFUSED .”

“Driver side door will not unlock or lock if the sun is shining on it. It gets overheated and will not function. This is a safety issue when it comes to my ability to enter the vehicle in a timely manner as well as the ability to enter at all.”
