2016 Nissan Rogue complaints

The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while parking the vehicle at 2 MPH, the vehicle suddenly accelerated forward. The vehicle jumped the curb, embankment, bushes, and crashed into the building in front. Parts of the vehicle caught onto the bushes, holding the vehicle while still crashing into the building. The air bags did not deploy. The police were not contacted. No police report. There were no injuries. The vehicle was damaged on the front end. The contact received assistance pushing the vehicle back into the parking space. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who was unable to diagnose the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and opened a case. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to file a safety complaint. The approximate failure mileage was 25,000.

Auto was parked in driveway, facing garage (door opened). When I turned on ignition to place car in garage it accelerated without warning. My hard braking had no effect and car went through garage knocking out the back wall and a large portion of cement block foundation.

I reported my steamed up headlight assemblies to NISSAN while performing oil change and tire rotations early on after my purchase which was 12302016 so end of year model clearance. The moisture in the headlamp affected night visibility. Felt safety concern but told the small weep hole was part of the product design. Why would any manufacturer put a weep hole on the headlamp if it is sealed w/ gaskets & engine compartment assembly sealed w/ gaskets at bulb/wiring harness? While driving in snow/rain, dirty water enters the assembly causing the temporary fogging affecting vision, especially after a warm day and moisture trying to escape via evaporation. ONLY PURE WATER CAN EVER EVAPORATE & DEBRIS DIRT left behind is impossible for owner to clean as this is CLOSED HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. Other complaint within a few years of ownership was the oxidation of the poor quality plastic used on the headlight assembly. I BOUGHT A CAR COVER to reduce sun damage once I had issues since this affects safety/driving visibility. I cannot drive w/ HIGH BEAMS in a CITY. I only have 55K miles as I have other vehicles that I drive & am very disappointed as I must now replace the entire two headlight assemblies BUT DO NOT WANT ANY OEM PRODUCT as I see their product as DEFFECTIVE and POOR DESIGN. MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN WITH VISIBILITY WHEN USING HEADLIGHTS which is OK if on due to rain during the daytime BUT NIGHT TIME VISIBILITY is TERRIBLE. Reported finally up the chain at NISSAN but want to report to y

The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact became aware that the driver's side window was no longer functioning. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed a failure with the dashboard wiring harness. The contact stated that there was excessive moisture within the driver's side footwell, resulting in electrical failures. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V024000 (Electrical System); the VIN was included, but the vehicle had previously been inspected and it was determined that the repair was not necessary, and the VIN was removed from the recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 130,000.

I own a 2016 Nissan Rouge and the AC/ Heat climate control part #275004BB0C has gone out and I have attempted to get it fixed and replaced twice. Climates are too cold or too hot to not have access to working AC/Heat in North Carolina. I have gone all winter with no heat and it has been frustrating to keep warm while operating my vehicle. I have gotten 2 different mechanics to look at the car and I have even gone as far as to change the Thermostate and check all fluids in the engine. Nothing has changed. I believe it is an electrical issue due to the the AC/ Heat climate control part #275004BB0C replaced and having the 2nd part work for only a week to fail again.

The Nissan Rogue 2016 transmission failed at 106,853 miles. The entire transmission had to be replaced at a cost of $4,850 6/19/24

- My AC/ Heat Control Unit failed and isn't able to send the signal to turn on heat and is now stuck on cool air. The part # is 2750044BB0C-A. It is in a 2016 Nissan Rouge and has lost connection. - It is a safety concern due to that I am unable to keep warm in harsh cold weather as well as I am unable to unfreeze my windshield so I can proceed with safe driving visibility. The only air blowing is cold air which doesn't mix with cold winter weather. - It has been inspected by a mechanic and he has said that it is an electrical problem because it isn't sending the correct signal to the rest of the AC/Heat unit to perform correctly. -When it was still working it kept going in and out with cold and hot air. Then it finally just stopped working. There was no sound or bangs to indicate it was finally broken. I just knew when I put the setting to heat it was not giving me hot air it was coming out as cool or really cold air.

- The AC & Heater Assembly - Nissan (27210-4BU0A) on my 2016 Nissan Rouge went out and I believe it was the Intake Case Bracket (27751-4BU1A). It isn't helping the cold air and hot air to come in when I turn the dial in my car. - It is a safety due to harsh weather in the winter. It has gotten down to 20 degrees and I have had no heat in my car. - Yes, I took it to the Leith Nissan dealership to get a diagnostic and they told me the whole system needs to be replaced. - No, It has not been inspected by any of those. - The first time I noticed the problem was around January 1st. My heat was going in and out and then all around it started blowing cold air even on the warmest settings. It has been 3 weeks now of harsh and cold weather with no heat to keep me warm when driving to my job or anywhere.

The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at 65 MPH, the vehicle briefly began to rattle after which it lost all motive power. The contact was able to coast to the side of the roadway, where the vehicle failed to restart. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed a failure with the transmission. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer, who confirmed the diagnosis. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 111,000.

My 2016 Nissan Rogue shakes terribly when it goes over 60 mph. This has been happening for over a year. I have twice taken it to garages for repair, most recently this week. They replaced the axels but this did nothing and they told me they have been reviewing Nissan service bulletins. They said they know the year of my car has had numerous transmission issues. So as of now, I can't drive my car at a speed over 60 mph. I don't feel safe driving it but don't want to shell out more money for speculative solutions that probably won't work and will just cost me more money.

Have a 2016 Nissan rogue with about 49,000 miles. About two months ago, started experiencing judder when truck got above 50 miles an hour. Took it to a local mechanic where they performed a diagnostic and let us know there was a transmission problem. They advised to speak to the Nissan head office directly because there was a known transmission issue for that particular year, make and model. On 11/12/2024, called Nissan USA, spoke to Ashley in their consumer affairs department where a claim was opened. Ashley took information on the truck and based on the mileage said there was a possibility of a goodwill being offered. The truck had to be taken to one of Nissan’s service locations to have a diagnostics performed which was done on 11/20/2024. Once done and $200 later, Nissan confirmed that the transmission had to be replaced for about $8000. Consumer affairs received the diagnostic report and made the decision that despite the low mileage, they could not extend the warranty as a courtesy to us. I find it unfair that I have a vehicle that was drivable a few weeks ago, and with no fair warning, started having the same transmission problems that Nissan was sued for and settled for the same make and model. Please help me find some justice. Thank you.

The passenger airbag light always reads OFF even when someone is sitting in the passenger seat.

Heading down the highway when my car started getting making a shuddering noise that got louder and the RPMs went up. Pulled off and check engine light came on. Ended up towing car and bringing it to auto repair shop where they determined it was a transmission issue, and suggested I take it to the Nissan dealer for more information.

Vehicle does not accelerate after 2 RPH Vehicle does not go into reverse Vehicle slips when going between 40 and 60 MPH Diagnostic testing from mechanic shows transmission failure

Airbag indicator, driver side warning lamps have been consistently on for the past 2 weeks now. Bought it used, but owned the vehicle for 2 years now. Called the Nissan Authorized Dealership, will charge me for diagnostic service.

My vehicle began to lose acceleration while driving on a busy highway in NJ. I was able to get off the road and proceeded to drive on side streets. I was temporarily unable to move after stopping at stop sign. Eventually I was able to get the vehicle home. I brought my car to my mechanic. It was established that is was the transmission (CVT). It needed to be replaced.

Vehicle transmission is shaking, shuddering, bumping.

Transmission jerks while driving. It started with a few little jumps here and there, and before long rattling violently. Stopped accelerating in traffic.

The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended. The contact stated that the vehicle jerked forward, and the RPM increased. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with transmission failure. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 98,200.

While driving home from work, the Nissan went from 50mph, suddenly down to 4mph. (literally 4mph) Pressing the gas down all the way would not allow the car to move any faster. It would occasionally get up to 15mph, but wouldn't stay. I was LUCKY beyond belief that a car or semi didn't hit me at highway speed before I could move over in rush hour traffic. Both the local dealership and Nissan USA executive offices concluded that this does not fall within the extended warranty forced on them by the NTHSA for many, many similar incidents. The dealer, asking like it was an oil change, asked if I wanted a new $9k transmission. As I can't afford anywhere near that, nor is the car worth it, I was required to drive it home from the dealership, again putting my life at risk. IN ADDITION - a recall repair was requested (the driver door wiring harness) - and the dealership told me that it was completed. They did not complete this recall either. Nissan should not be allowed to make vehicles in the USA. If they actually stood behind their product and made repairs and replacements when there are manufacturing issues, I would feel much better about the situation. For now- I want to ensure no one I care about actually dies from driving a Nissan.

Air bag light is on telling that is mulfunctioning

The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, she became aware that the front passenger's seat light was on. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed that the passenger's seat needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V716000 (Seats); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure; however, no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 92,000.

I was driving down the road and suddenly my back right passenger window imploded, it sounded like a gunshot going off it was so loud and sudden. There had been no previous damage to the window and I was on a completely paved road with no construction or other vehicles near for anything to have hit the window. The glass went inside all over my back seat and even into the trunk area, if my children had been in the backseat they could have been seriously injured and I could have swerved due to being startled but luckily I was able to safely pull over. I took it to the Nissan dealership to see if they could inspect it to see if it was a defect or fault of the vehicle and they told me there was nothing they could do that I would just need to file a claim with my insurance.

Engine stumbles or even stalls out suddenly on acceleration, often at intersections, and then "forward collision warning sensor malfunction" flashes on the screen. Then, when accelerator is pressed further in an attempt to get the vehicle to move, the engine revs and vehicle lurches forward.

The vehicle began experiencing difficulties accelerating especially in instances where acceleration was necessary as in merging onto highways. The car began jerking through acceleration and consequently revving sporadically. I took the vehicle in and was informed the entire transmission needs to be replaced. The car is just passed the warranty in both mileage and the year so the dealership offered no assistance.

The left rear suspension arm has failed. This part supports the left rear tire and wheel assembly and its failure cause the left rear tire and wheel to tilt to about a 45 degree angle. The car was able to be safely stopped, although control was severely effected. Continued driving would likely have caused the tire and wheel to separate from the vehicle. See attached photo. It appears as if the rear suspension arm welds have broken and or the part has failed due to corrosion. It is a 2016 vehicle with only 105,000 miles. See attached photos. The last photo shows the right rear suspension link, undamaged, to illustrate the extent of degradation on the left side. The Girard Nissan dealership in Groton, CT informed me they have seen a number of cars with this problem, but there has been no recall. The provided a verbal order of magnitude estimate to repair the vehicle, based on photos, at $4,000 or higher.

In September 2023, my 2016 Nissan started vibrating with noise. It was not shortly after that a warning appeared on the console. The warning, "Chassis Control System Error" caused research as the vehicle worsened. As I was driving, a warning of the brakes shutting down appeared. I returned home in time, and parked the vehicle. The truck was then sent to the mechanic where I was told that the transmission failed. The CVT failed at 83,000 miles. The vehicle is currently at a Nissan dealership service department, while I'm in the process of litigation with Nissan North America, Inc. Nissan offered just $1500.00 towards an estimated $6000 CVT repair bill. This problem is an extension of the 2022 Class Action Lawsuit that needs to be re-established. Nissan manufactured the vehicles with the knowledge of the defective CVT and did not make the consumers aware of the defect. Nissan dealerships also needs to be held accountable for their knowledge of the fraudulent act of Nissan to the consumers. Dealerships sold the vehicles also with the knowledge of the defective CVT. Nissan manipulated the law with a bogus extended warranty that protects Nissan from having to correct the wrong.

Nissan knows their transmissions aren’t good. They are putting bad transmission into cars and scamming people out of money. My transmission just blew with 92,000 miles on it. There was formally a class action lawsuit. They know they have bad transmissions and don’t care

The contact stated that after the recall repair was performed, the vehicle failed to start. The contact replaced the battery. The vehicle later lost motive power while driving. The contact pushed the vehicle to the side of the road, and the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who replaced the alternator; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the ABS wiring harness, ABS control module, and wheel speed sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 51,000.

CVT transmission on a 2016 Nissan Rogue SL with 43,800 miles. Its available foe inspection. The vehicle transmission jerks, it hesitates, there is revving, and shudders. The problems was reproduced by a Nissan Dealer and inspected with a diagnosis of a bad transmission needing replacement. No warning or lamps before the 1st incident on April 8, 2024.

Transmission revs and won't shift. At the time I was bringing my husband from VA Hospital. I pulled over and waitedfor a few minutes. I drove to my mechanic and he checked it out and said I need a new transmission. I have had this issue before over the years but this time engine light stayed on.

Driving in the highway and RPM kept going higher but vehicle was slowing down and it happened during bad traffic. Happened again same day at a traffic light, light turned green and my vehicle didn’t move for a short while

The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at 20 MPH, the vehicle shut off as a key fob warning symbol appeared on the instrument panel. Due to the failure, the vehicle was initially towed to an independent mechanic and was later towed to the dealer. Two separate diagnostics were performed on the vehicle; however, they were unable to determine the cause of the failure. The dealer later informed the contact that a defective belt located underneath the dashboard may have caused the failure. The mechanic gave the contact an estimate for the repair but warned that the repair may not fix the failure. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at 55 MPH, the vehicle began to jerk. The RPM increased, but the vehicle failed to accelerate. The RPM decreased, and the RPM went to the correct level. After reaching an approximate speed of 40 MPH, the vehicle failed to accelerate further. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact called the local dealer, who informed the contact about having a transmission flush and adding transmission fluid. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 116,000.

My car stopped working at the middle of the freeway, luckily I was going downhill. Just like everyone else it may be a transmission issue, as I pressed the gas the far would not moved. I kept shifting gear and it feels like it’s stuck, I can reverse but only for a little bit but once I press the gas it doesn’t go anywhere.

I recently was notified that my vehicle has a factory recall for the jackknife key. So I brought it to my local Nissan dealership and they said they would fix the recall. After checking out my key and car the dealership said I would have to buy a brand new key which was around $300 dollars. The key is only 3 months old because I changed out the old key because the recall caused the old key to malfunction and not start up the car. They're solution was to put a spacer in the key to fix the recall but then said my car wouldn't turn on if they put in spacer to fix recall. My problem is why would i have to purchase something that is being recalled, also if it's a factory recall that would mean it has to be fixed as part of a federal law. Also, the reason for both keys malfunctioning is because of the recall in the first place. It seems the dealership is trying to get out of fixing this problem and they just want me to buy a new key to fix the issue instead of taking care of it, when it was the manufacturer's fault in the first place. The Nissan dealership is Destination Nissan located at 770 Central Ave, Albany, NY 12206, is there anything that can be done so they fix this issue? I also reached out to Nissan national help line, but they couldn't do anything but reach out to the dealership and ask what happened with no solution. They ended up not fixing the recall or anything on my vehicle and I currently have both keys that are malfunctioning because of Manufacturer Recall Number:

ECU go out and cause vehicle to accelerate when brakes is mashed

The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the front driver's side seat made an abnormal sound and inadvertently moved while making a turn. The contact stated that she weighed 130 pounds and that the front driver's seat frame had previously been replaced due to a fracture; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the front driver's side seat frame was tightened; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where it was determined that the front driver's side seat frame was fractured and needed to be replaced for the second time. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

Rear hatchback power strut/ shocks. Hatch will go up entire way but comes back down automatically, hitting my head , therefore I do not use hatch compartment because of safety issues. Nissan dealer states needs new struts and to check to see if recalled due to fact should have lasted life of vehicle

Hi I did not wreck my car. This has occurred for over a year. My windshield wipers quit working and then they work sporadically. My husband bought a new motor last year but when we checked it the motor said it was fine so we sent the new one back. I have taken my car to the Nissan dealership but when I got on the road to take it my windshield wipers started working again. I took there anyway and they charged me $160 I still have the receipt. They said they didn't see anything wrong but I honestly think they didn't look. Yesterday I took it to another mechanic Fastlane in Hiram Georgia Brandon looked at it and said it was the motor was not getting enough juice. We are going tomorrow to get another Motor at O'Reilly's in Dallas Ga today is On [XXX] and [XXX] I had to drive my car to work with no windshields wipers I had no choice. I have never had a car that this happened to. I have a really nice car and shouldn't even have to write this. My brother passed away in a car wreck and I shouldn't even have to think about getting in my car and dying because of the windshield wipers not working when I'm trying to drive. This has been going on for over a year. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Smell gas inside the car

For the past year, the front driver seat will jolt slightly forward upon braking, and jolt/click back upon accelerating. I began to notice it when I would start the car and start driving, because the seat would move back ever so slightly, even though the seat hadn’t been moved prior as I am the only one who drives the vehicle. And then upon braking, the seat would move slightly forward. It is a very unsettling feeling because it does not feel like the seat is secure and if an accident were to occur with enough force, it feels like the seat will come off the rails completely. The car has automatic, cloth seats on driver’s side. When the car is at rest, and you are sitting in the driver seat, if you move your body, forward and back, the seat feels unsteady and moves (it never moves up or down the rail it just feels like it “clicks” into a new spot). I have read multiple other complaints on other online forums about the driver seat of the 2016 Nissan rogue, and I believe that this is a major safety issue for the rails of the seat and being secure in the front driver’s seat. For reference, the current vehicle is around 70k miles. It has been noticeable for about a year.

Upon driving the vehicle on the freeway or highway at an accelerated speed, the hood shakes up and down rapidly, and appears as though it could potentially pop open. The hood is locked when driving and there have been no accidents on the vehicle. Nissan has had multiple recalls of their hood latch for the mid-size cars like the Altima and also the Pathfinder, but I believe the Rogue is also affected. I first noticed it in 2020, and it has been this way for a couple of years, and when I asked the dealerships, they told me there’s been no recall for the Nissan rogue so I had always thought it might be normal (albeit concerning); it wasn’t until this past May when a friend who worked at Nissan mentioned about the latch recalls for the other cars, that I decided to look into it. There is no recall for the Nissan rogue for the hood latch but I believe the 2016 Rogue is also affected by a faulty hood latch. The hood feels locked when parked, but upon driving on a freeway or at an accelerated MPH above 45/50, it seems as though a lot of air gets under the hood and forces it to shake up and down. It is very unsettling and seems like another common issue for 2016 Rogue drivers.
