2013 NISSAN ROGUE Electrical System Problems

My car was parked in my driveway without being used for almost a day and caught on fire. The fire started in the driver side where the harness supposedly got changed and went up. Thank God the fire department got there when they did my car would have exploded into my house and neighbors house. When calling nissan to aware of problem they took zero accountability. My car had zero issues I took it regularly to get checked and things replaced. So sadden to have lost my car all of a sudden. There was times that my car would turn off for a second and turn back on. Definitely had an electrical shortage which was not fixed by the original recall.

Request for Recall Coverage – 2013 Nissan Rogue Select Airbag Issue Dear Sir, I am the original owner of a 2013 Nissan Rogue Select. Recently, I became aware of a recall issued by Nissan North America for certain 2013–2014 Rogue Select vehicles due to an electrical short in the harness connector. This issue is caused by snow/water and salt seeping through the driver's side floor carpet, resulting in the flickering of the driver-side airbag warning light. My vehicle is experiencing the exact symptoms described in the recall notice. However, when I contacted both the Nissan dealership and Nissan North America, I was informed that my vehicle is not included in the affected recall list—even though it is the same model and year, and shows the exact defect identified in the recall. As a senior citizen, I am deeply concerned about the functionality of the airbag system in my vehicle. I rely on the safety features of my car, and I hope that, if ever needed, the airbag would deploy as intended. I respectfully hope that Nissan reevaluates my case and includes my vehicle in the recall repair program, as the issue clearly aligns with the known defect. Thank you for your attention and assistance in this matter. I look forward to your response.

I was driving down interstate 40 at 75 miles an hour and my car just quit in traffic. Luckily I was able to pull over to the side of the road and set for about 10 minutes and my car started back up and I made it about 30 more miles and it quit again and I waited 10 minutes and it starts up again. That’s very dangerous in traffic.

I have a 2013 Nissan Rouge. If the car is outside, every time it rains, it floods the driver's side. Which eventually resulted in some electrical malfunction and the driver's side airbag malfunction light. Last year, I noticed that I kept the car outside and not in the garage. I found there is a recall on that. The same issue. But when I called Nissan, they told me that my particular car was not included in that recall. Even when the issue is the same? I am not sure why and to whom to complain. [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My 2013 Nissan rogue that we purchased in November keeps going into limp mode. It has happened several times. We’ve taken it to different shops and they all say it has a defective CVT transmission. It does not pull any codes and does not show that it’s overheating. It does make it dangerous for us and other cars on the road since it will happen on the freeway or as we are making a turn. We have been put in danger several times now. I can find several other years with the recall already. This problem is extremely dangerous when it all of a sudden doesn’t want to go or reduces speeds.

Unknown what failed but my car was set on fire today. Whole dash was completely burnt.

#1 I have been completely affected by the KNOWN defect in the Nissan transmissions with the first instance being my on the interstate, 4 hours from home with my child only, and we lost power while driving the interstate. The losing power issue has happened multiple times over the last 5 years and all that I can find online is that Nissan is aware and owners can buy something and have it added to the transmission....if we purchased the vehicle I think Nissan should at least be responsible for the issues with something that they are aware is an issue with the products they sell. I am now putting oil in the car every few weeks because of a leak that there is no explanation of how it happened and will cost a fortune to fix; and most recently I came out of work and when I went to get in my car the handle came off in my hand. I've researched and apparently this too is an issue with Nissan Rogues......Everytime I search for a recall there is nothing for the 2013 Rogue but there are for the ones years prior and after??? Whoever thinks that the perfect line came out in 2013 needs reevaluate their information!!!!

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that the passenger’s side seat belt signaled that the seat belt was detached despite being correctly attached. The horn also failed intermittently. The contact spoke to the dealer and was informed that the horn and seat belt failure was related to an electrical failure. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.

Mileage: 90,000

While driving, alarm on car just started horn blowing and all hazzard lights began to flash. This happened on a second occasion that after parking car, the alarms and lights went off when door was opened to get out. The third occurrence lights and horn began blowing while parked. Was unable to get it to stop Drove it home with all horns and lights flashing. On the first occurrence the sudden blowing, non stop of horn and all hazard lights flashing startled me, the driver, and I frantically searched for a place to pull over It took over 15 minutes before it stopped flashing and blowing. Each episode was sudden and unexpected. No buttons keys etc had been touched during these episodes, except the opening of the door during 1 previously mentioned time. I do not know if it is an electrical issue or component issue. But car definitely is being taken to the shop, which leaves me hunting transportation until something can be figured out. I had a disabled individual in the care with me that caused a fear and anxiety with him. He was riding in the back seat.

This car went on fire after being parked for over 5 hours.

The car driver side window door leaks water into the driver side floor near where the legs go. The floor is always wet has Mold on it. Mirror above driver side has mold on it. Seatbelts throughout the car have accumulated mold on them. Behind the driver side that rug is wet soaked as well. The water has traveled to the left side of the vehicle is now getting moist. The trunk never shuts there’s an electrical issue with the wiring. As I drive the trunk opens and shuts not completely but unlatches allowing the trunk to swing open. The electrical issue with the trunk has drained my battery several times. The notification of the door door being open is constantly draining my battery. I have been stranded several times due to this electrical issue. As I drive the steering wheel tilt to the right I cannot control my steering. My steering wheel now looks like it’s out of place it’s like if I try to drive straight the car will go slight right. I have three toddlers who I need to drive to daycare in order to go to work to provide for my family. I do not feel safe driving this car. I went to a Nissan dealership informed them of all these issues in my concerns that I did not feel safe driving this car and they said there was nothing I could do about it unless I paid for the fix. As a consumer defect I do not feel I should be responsible for the manufacture errors

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Roque. The contact stated while driving approximately 30 MPH, there was an unknown noise coming from the driver's door. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact pulled over safely, and there was a consistent locking sound coming from the vehicle. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under recall due to water leakage. The contact's friend drove the vehicle to the residence. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer and diagnosed. The dealer repaired the door lock, actuator, and door handle; however, the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 32,775.

Mileage: 32,775

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving approximately 40 MPH, the vehicle stopped in the middle of the road. The contact was able to pull over safely to the side of the roadway. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer however, the mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 73,000.

Mileage: 73,000

When stopped at a stop sign or red light car losses power and almost stalls.

I was driving home and smelled burning rubber or plastic coming from my vent while my heat was on. The smell got stronger and stronger. I turn the heat off and only smelled it a little. I parked my vehicle and I am now in search of a mechanic.

My 2013 Rogue is having electrical issues and power transmission problems.

Recalls for model years of 2014-2016 as well as 2013 sentras due to passenger air bag sensor malfunction. Recall states the the sensor doesn’t detect when passenger is in seat and will not deploy in event of accident. Drive a 2013 rogue sv with same exact issue as described in recall for other vehicles but 2013 model year not included in recall when this is a prevelant issue with Nissan among many makes and models and for many years. Very hazardous to have a passenger in vehicle and air bags keep saying they are turned off. Big safety issue and don’t understand how Nissan is not including 2013 rogue in airbag recall when It has the same exact issue that is stated in recall but instead of fixing their major safety defect that could put many children , adults , elderly in a deadly situation. They decide to not include rogue from 2013 and instead are trying to charge over 1000 to replace the seat to fix their sensor defect. Please investigate as I’m certain there are many other rogue with the same issue as what has been diagnosed by Nissan was this exact problem they recalled for other model years and are fixing but yet want to charge when this is a dangerous known issue from Nissan across several makes and model years as well as generations

Our 2013 Nissan Rogue seatbelt light flashes for no apparent reason. This seems to be a problem that has never been resolved by the manufacturer. It also seems that it is a well documented situation. Nissan should be made to research and give a definite fix without the customer suffering trial and error repairs.

DRIVER'S DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK AT ALL. IT WILL NOT UNLOCK MANUALLY WITH THE KEY NOR WILL IT UNLOCK BY PRESSING THE INSIDE UNLOCK BUTTON ON DRIVERS DOOR. ALL OTHER DOORS WILL UNLOCK. IF INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT OR NEED EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE I WILL BE TRAPPED INSIDE THE VEHICLE.

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR SINCE THE FIRST WEEK I BOUGHT IT. IF IT'S NOT ONE THING IT'S ANOTHER. ENGINE PROBLEMS, OIL LEAKING PROBLEMS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON WHENEVER. POSSIBLE OIL BURNING PROBLEM. SPARK PLUGS, PISTON RINGS, AXLES, CYLINDERS, MOUNTS. THIS CAR IS IN THE SHOP EVERY OTHER 2-3 WEEKS. NOW IT'S BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR A MONTH+. IT'S IS CRAZY THAT A DEALERSHIP WOULD SELL THIS VEHICLE TO A CUSTOMER. THERE'S EVEN THIS THUDDERING NOISE. THINGS HAVE BEEN FIXED AND SOMETHING ELSE WENT WRONG. IT'S BEEN NON STOP REPAIRS SINCE DAY ONE. IT ALSO SEEMS THAT 2013 NISSAN ROGUES AND HAD MANY MANUFACTURER PROBLEMS AND ISSUES. I FEEL THIS WAS DAMAGED CAR THAT WAS NEVER REPORTED AND THEN SOMEONE FIXED A FEW FAKE THINGS AND THEN RESOLD IT KNOW THIS CAR WAS NO GOOD. WHEN I DRIVE IT MAKES A LOUD THUDDER NOISE, THE STEERING IS NOT SMOOTH. ALSO ONE NIGHT MY CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED WHEN I TRIED TO REVERSE AND RED LIGHT CAME ON.

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING MY CAR 4 DAYS AGO WITH HEAT ABOUT 90 DEGREES. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND UNABLE TO ACCELERATE EVEN WITH FOOT ON GAS PEDAL. SHE WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND LET THE CAR REST FOR SEVERAL HOURS AND WAS ABLE TO GET HOME SAFELY. MY LOCAL MECHANIC SAID CODE PO744 TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH CIRCUIT NEEDS REPAIR. I BROUGHT TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP TODAY AND REPORT NO RECALLS (WHICH I KNOW IS INCORRECT) AS ALSO 500,000 VEHICLES ARE AFFECTED. IF NISSAN DOES NOT PAY TO FIX THESE OBVIOUS CVT TRANSMISSION DEFECTS, I WILL NEVER PURCHASE OR RECOMMEND ANYONE WASTE A PENNY ON THIS BS COMPANY. NEVER AGAIN! WHY ISN'T US PROTECTING OUR CONSUMERS AGAINST THIS UNACCEPTABLE PRODUCT?!

I WAS MADE AWARE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED BACK ON FEBRUARY 25, 2015. RECALL ID: 228072 CAMPAIN #: 15V032000. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL CONCERNING MY VEHICLE. OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS, I'VE NOTICED MOISTURE ON THE FLOOR BOARDS IN THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED BACK IN DECEMBER OF 2015.

WE LAST USED THE CAR AT 2:30PM AND PARKED IT IN OUR DRIVEWAY. IT WAS STATIONARY AND UNUSED FOR ABOUT 4.5 HOURS. AT ABOUT 7PM WE HEARD THE HORN GO OFF. IT WAS A STEADY BLOWING OF THE HORN. I OPENED THE FRONT DOOR, REALIZED IT WAS OUR CAR, AND GRABBED MY KEYS TO START THE CAR TO SEE IF THAT WOULD MAKE THE HORN STOP. WHEN I OPENED THE DRIVERS DOOR OF THE CAR I SAW THE ORANGE FLAMES AND THICK BLACK SMOKE. I RAN INTO THE HOUSE, HAD MY WIFE CALL 911 AND I GRABBED THE HOUSE FIRE EXTINGUISHER. THE FIRE STARTED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE CAR EITHER RIGHT BELOW THE STEERING WHEEL OR ON THE LEFT SIDEWALL WHERE THE DRIVER'S LEFT LEG WOULD REST. I DID MY BEST PUTTING OUT THE FLAMES FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE BUT HAD TO GO TO THE RIDERS SIDE TO PUT OUT THE LEFT PANEL BY THE DRIVERS LEGS. THE FIRE WAS PROBABLY 95% PUT OUT WHEN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND POLICE DEPARTMENT SHOWED. BECAUSE THE FRONT HOOD RELEASE LATCH WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED BY THE FIRE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD TO FORCE THE HOOD OPEN TO CHECK FOR FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ALSO REMOVED PARTS OF DASHBOARD THAT WERE BURNT TO CHECK BEHIND TO MAKE SURE THE FIRE WAS OUT. IT WAS TOWED AWAY ABOUT AN HOUR LATER. THE CAR WAS "TOTALED" A WEEK LATER BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY.*DT*JB

I DID A RESEARCH ON THE 2013 NISSAN ROGUE. 2YRS AGO ON THE SAME TRUCK.WELL ANYWAY I DIDN'T THINK I WOULD HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH MY TRUCK UNTIL NOW. THE TRANSMISSION HAS NOW FAILED IN MY TRUCK. ITS HAS STALLED ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND HIGHWAY WHICH IS A DANGER TO ME AND OTHER CARS ON THE STREET. THE ELECTRICAL IN THE TRUCK WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE OVER THE SPEED LIMIT OR NOT THE TRUCK WILL START TO OVERHEAT AND SHUT DOWN ON ME IN THE STREET.

I WAS ACCELERATING TO MERGE ONTO AN EXPRESSWAY TODAY, AND MY ACCELERATION CUT OUT IN MY VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND COASTED TO IDLE SPEED. I WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO MOVE OFF THE EXPRESSWAY AT IDLE SPEED, BUT I MAY HAVE NOT BEEN SO LUCKY IN ANOTHER SCENARIO. I ALSO NOTICED THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON SOMETIMES WHEN THE CAR IS OFF OR THE PEDAL IS NOT PRESSED. THE CAR SEEMS TO THINK THE BRAKES ARE ENGAGED AND WILL NOT ALLOW ANY ACCELERATION. I FOUND THIS TSB FOR MY VEHICLE THAT DESCRIBES THE EXACT ISSUE I AM FACING. HOWEVER, THE TSB IS INACCURATE. IT STATES THERE IS "LOW POWER" WHEN ACCELERATING. THERE IS ACTUALLY "NO POWER." THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL WHEN THIS ISSUE IS ENCOUNTERED BUT WILL COAST TO IDLE SPEED. THIS ISSUE PUTS THE DRIVER'S LIFE AT RISK, AS WELL AS OTHERS ON THE ROAD, AND SHOULD RESULT IN A FULL RECALL BEFORE PEOPLE DIE. THIS COMPLAINT IS IN REGARDS TO THE CLASSIFICATION AND INACCURACY OF THE FOLLOWING TSB, WHICH SHOULD BE CLASSIFIED AS RECALL AND CORRECTED TO REFLECT THE VEHICLE LOSING ALL ACCELERATION.

I STARTED MY CAR ONE DAY AND STARTED TO SMELL SOMETHING BURNING. I SAW NO SMOKE AND IMMEDIATELY SHUT THE CAR OFF. I WENT INTO MY HOME AND GOT MY HUSBAND TO COME AND CHECK THE CAR. HE STARTED IT UP AND THE BURNING SMELL CONTINUED. AGAIN, WE IMMEDIATELY SHUT THE CAR OFF. MY ROGUE WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT DAY I WENT TO USE MY CAR. MY HUSBAND ADVISED TO LEAVE THE CAR ALONE AND TAKE HIS TRUCK. THE NEXT DAY WE WENT OUT TO CHECK ONTO THE CAR AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP WITH NO BURNING SMELL BUT MY "CHECK ENGINE" AND "ABS" LIGHTS STAYED ON. I HAD TO CONTACT NISSAN CORPORATION TWICE JUST TO GET SOMEONE TO RETURN MY CALLS. I HAD TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH MY NYS ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE TO GET NISSAN'S ATTENTION ONLY TO RECEIVE A LETTER TELLING MY MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER RECALL AND THEY WOULDN'T HELP. HOW CAN AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WHEN SOMETHING OBVIOUSLY BURNED NOT BE THEIR RESPONSIBILITY? I HAVE HAD MY CAR REGULARLY SERVICED AT MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND HAVE LESS THAN 60000 MILES.

BEGINNING IN NOVEMBER OF 2017, ACCELERATION BEGAN TO HAVE ISSUES. WHEN ACCELERATING, THE CAR WOULD DRAG AND HESITATE BEFORE FULLY DROPPING INTO GEAR. ALL OTHER COMPONENTS WORKED FINE. I WOULD ALLOW THE CAR TO HEAT UP 10-15 MINUTES IN THE MORNING AND THAT DID NOT HELP. SHORTLY AFTER, EACH TIME I STEP ON THE GAS, THE ENGINE REVS TREMENDOUSLY DESPITE THE SLIGHTEST ACCELERATION. THE PIN WILL NOT MOVE THEN MOVE QUICKLY CAUSING A GRINDING/BUZZING SOUND BETWEEN 2K & 3K BEFORE FEELING LIKE IT DROPS I TOM GEAR, EVEN AT 15-25MPH. THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES, BUT THE CAUSE CAN NO TO BE DIAGNOSED. IN JANUARY OF 2018, THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD CAME ON AND THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION. UPON TAKING IT TO THE MECHANIC, I WAS TOLD EVERYTHING TESTED FINE, THE SOFTWARE SIMPLY NEEDED TO BE RESET. AFTER RESETTING, THE LIGHT HAS NOT RETURNED, BUT THE ACCELERATION ISSUE HAS NOT CHANGED. IN MARCH OF 2018 AFTER EXPERIENCING ANOTHER ABRUPT SLOW-DOWN ON A SIDE STREET, I PARKED THE CAR AND SMELLED A BURNING OF SOME TYPE OF FLUID UPON GETTING OUT OF THE CAR. ONCE THE INITIAL SMELL DISPERSED, NO SIGN OF DAMAGE, LEAKING, OR OTHER ISSUE WAS PRESENT. IN APRIL OF 2018, NO FURTHER ACCELERATION ISSUES HAVE OCCURRED, BUT THE WARNING LIGHTS AGAIN CAME ON. AGAIN, NOTHING WAS DIAGNOSED, IT WAS SAID THERE WAS SOME TYPE OF SOFTWARE ISSUE AND SIMPLY NEEDED TO BE RESET AGAIN. SHORTLY AFTER, THE AC UNIT COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. I TURNED OFF THE CAR, RESTARTED AND THE SYSTEM CAME BACK ON, BUT NO MATTER WHAT BLOWS OUT HOT AIR WHICH IS HOTTER OFTEN THAN IF THE HEAT IS TURNED ON FULL BLAST. THE CAR HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND UNDERGONE REGULARLY SCHEDULE MAINTENANCE AND HAS 84K MILES. MY MECHANIC RAN THE VIN AND THERE'S WERE NO OPEN RECALLS, HOWEVER, THE CAR WAS JUST DIAGNOSED WITH AN 'ELECTRICAL ISSUE.'

LATEST ISSUE IS I WAS DRIVING MY KIDS HOME AT NIGHT AND WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP LIGHT THE VEHICLE ONLY MOVED SLOWLY AT THE RPM WENT ABOVE 4,000 ALMOST CAUSING ME TO GET REAR ENDED. EVENTUALLY I COULD GET TO 50 MPH BUT ANYTHING OVER THAT AND THE RPM'S WOULD RACE OVER 4,000.

1ST ELECTRICAL PROBLEM STARTED WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WHEN ON VACATION AUGUST 2014. NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEM AND RADIO WOULD NOT WORK. STEERING WHEEL IF SHARP TURN MADE A LOUD NOISE. HAPPENED FOR 1 DAY AND THEN EVERTHING WORKED AGAIN. 9/24/14 MY NISSAN ROGUE 2013 WAS NOW COMPLETELY DEAD AND HAD TO MANUALLY UNLOCK DOOR. CALLED AAA WHO JUMP STARTED VEHICLE AND STATED REPLACING BATTERY WOULD NOT SOLVE PROBLEM. THE AAA MECHANIC STATED THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM....SOMETHING CONTINUED TO DRAIN THE BATTERY EVEN AFTER THE JUMP START. BROUGHT TO COASTAL NISSAN WHERE I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE TESTED FINE AND DID NOT HAVE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. NEVER WAS I INFORMED THERE ARE COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS OF INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND THE ROGUE NOT STARTING. MY VEHICLE IS ALMOST AT THE END OF ITS WARRANTY. 10/21/14 COMING OUT OF THE GARAGE LATE LAST NIGHT WHEN MAKING SHARP TURNS THE STEERING WHEEL MAKE LOUD NOISES. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW WOULD NOT GO UP. THIS MORNING THE VEHICLE MADE A CLICKING NOISE BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START. THE DRIVERS' SIDE WINDOW WILL NOT GO UP OR DOWN ALTHOUGH THE LIGHTS AND OTHER WINDOWS WORK. DECLINED AAA JUMPSTART SINCE THIS HAS BEEN INTERMITTENT AND I NEEDED COASTAL NISSAN TO NOT BE ABLE TO DENY ANY PROBLEM. AFTER CHECKING ON LINE IT APPEARS MANY OTHER NISSAN OWNERS ARE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO HAVE AN AGENCY LIKE YOUR'S TO ENSURE OTHERS ARE AWARE OF SAFETY ISSUES AND DEFECTS IN VEHICLES. I ALSO CONTACTED THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS AT NISSAN PER THE EMAILS I SAW FROM OTHER OWNERS. IF ANYONE ELSE HAS THIS INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL PROBLEM JUST HAVE VEHICLE TOWED SO NISSAN CANNOT DENY A PROBLEM OR FAIL TO ADDRESS AND FIX IT. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON A BLACKTOP ROAD WITH A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE ABOUT 4 CAR LENGTHS AHEAD. I HAD TO SUDDENLY STOP TO AVOID A DEER ON MY RIGHT SIDE. I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME WHICH WAS TURNING LEFT BUT HAD NO BLINKER LIGHTS OR BRAKE SHOWING . AIR BAG ON STEERING WHEEL DID NOT DEPLOY UNTIL AFTER THE CAR STOPPED AND I WAS GETTING OUT OF VEHICLE. SIDE AIR BAGS CAME OUT BUT HAD NO AIR IN THEM..UPDATED 11/03/14 *BF..UPDATED 11/18/14 *BF UPDATED 5/7/2015 *JS UPDATED 08/30/2017*CT

A DAY BEFORE THE INCIDENT, THE MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON IN MY CAR ON THE DASHBOARD. THE NEXT DAY, ABOUT ONE MILE FROM HOME, I STOPPED ON A HILL AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT WITH SEVERAL CARS AHEAD OF ME. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I MOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARD. IT WOULD NOT GO INTO DRIVE EVEN THOUGH THE GEAR WAS IN DRIVE. AFTER TRYING ONCE MORE UNSUCCESSFULLY TO GET THE CAR TO MOVE FORWARD, I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, PUT ON MY FLASHERS AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. I RESTARTED THE CAR, AND PUT THE GEAR IN DRIVE AND IT WENT FORWARD BUT SOMEWHAT HALTINGLY. I SLOWLY PROCEEDED TO THE NISSAN DEALER ABOUT 2 MILES AWAY. EACH TIME I STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE ENGINE SOUNDED FUNNY. TODAY, THE NISSAN DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IN THE TRANSMISSION THAT THEY CAN'T REPAIR. NISSAN USA IS REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION UNDER WARRANTY. I FIND THIS OUTRAGEOUS THAT A NEWLY PURCHASED CAR OF 5 MONTHS WITH LESS THAN 5, 000 MILES HAS A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION. *TR

Mileage: 4,300

THIS VEHICLE MODEL YEAR 2013 IS MISSING THE HOOD INSULATOR THAT IS PRESENT IN EVERY PREVIOUS MODEL YEAR. NISSAN WAS CONTACTED TO PROVIDE AN EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THIS SAFETY FEATURE HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE 2013 YEAR MODELS. THE ONLY EXPLANATION OFFERED WAS THAT IT IS DISCONTINUED BUT FAIL TO PROVIDE THE REASONS WHY A SAFETY FEATURE HAS BEEN REMOVED. *TR
