2016 Nissan Rogue complaints

Been dealing with an issue of the driver side window failing. It has failed three separate times in the past year and remain stuck inside the driver side door unable to go back up. Twice during winter once in the summer. I had to wait weeks during the winter to get the window remedied with a newborn and a 3 year old. They both happened during blizzards where I was forced to figure out how to get my family home safely with window stuck down during a 2 separate winter storms. My dashboard lights are now all lit up , no AWD, traction control, cruise, and a check engine light now. Have had 1 year and had nothing but issues. Now we’re down to one vehicle so my wife drives this vehicle and drops me off at work and drives our children around. The smell of burning plastic is starting to happen and we feel unsafe with our children in this car. The next step will most likely be the fire that was mentioned as an issue from this known problem and we are already smelling the burning driving. We have reached out to dealers and anyone who would listen. We were told no loaner vehicle and to drive it until it catches fire with our kids inside…. All figure it out and wait for the recall fix to come “eventually”. We are out of choices and feel unsafe in this vehicle. We have been provided no solutions, this is our only vehicle, and we still are paying monthly on it even in this condition.

My battery completely drained around 24,000 miles, my car just hit 31,000 miles. My air bag light stays on continuously, after this happened my drivers side window quit working, worked fine no noise or anything, then 1 minute later quit working. The lock, unlock button on the outside door handle quits working at times. The remote, key fob doesn't work all the time even after replacing the battery in it. At least 1 to 2 times a week my radio and navigation system won't come on when I start my cars, I have to turn off the car 2 to 3 times to get it to start working. Sometimes the power tailgate won't work for days at a time with the button inside the car. Sometimes the button to start the car does nothing, just have to keep trying. Random warning lights will come on while driving then just turn off. Sometimes both myself and others in the car smell something electrical burning. All of this started within a few days of each incident.

The contact's wife pulled over and upon inspection of the vehicle discovered that the sunroof had shattered into several pieces. The contact then slowly drove the vehicle to a dealer where it remained in their possession. The dealer was unable to officially diagnose the failure but speculated that outside elements such as heat may have caused the failure. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was 34,000.

Around 60k miles, the car started intermittently having a significant delay from the point when the accelerator was pressed and car moved. Often, once car started accelerating it went much faster than anticipated. Sometimes the car had a jerking motion mostly when traveling up a hill. I reported it to the dealership but it was to be deemed no trouble found. The rep did indicate that what I was describing sounded like a common transmission issue, but I am already past warranty and recommended just keeping an eye on it. Over time it progressively became more frequent. It failed completely at 96k miles with i's last run that took around 5 seconds from accelerator was pressed to the car moving. At which point, the car jutted out into traffic but was unable to accelerate. These problems have caused potential accidents where I could have rear-ended someone else because of the sudden fast movement after a delay. Or in the case of the last run (which incident is being reported), cars behind me had to swerve to avoid hitting me because I was unable to get car moving at the traffic's speed. The check engine light came on after the fact, but there were never any warning lamps or messages related to the transmission prior to the incident and because of this the dealership was unable to discuss with manufacturer early on about a warranty exception.

My car will randomly stall out when I drive and forget it’s in Drive…..my RPMs will shoot up but the car does not go, it looses the power of driving as if the car was put into neutral but wasn’t.

At seemingly random times the 2016 Nissan Rogue SUV will jerk or shudder while in motion. I would normally travel at a consistent speed but this issue causes sudden jerking/shuddering. I believe it involves the transmission. This creates a significant safety hazard to myself and others while on the road. If my car suddenly stops or significantly slows down while on the freeway it could cause a crash. Additionally when I turn corners I will periodically hear and feel a creak in the front driver's seat. It legitimately feels like the seat is not properly secured and that I would slide out of position given enough force.

Headlights randomly flash and horns honks at random times.

The passenger head light went out so I had it replaced and it keeps going out and also the interior lights on the gear shift doesn't come on and the charger port is not charging my phone in either of the charging ports.

I have been notified of an open recall on my vehicle, I took it to the dealership to be repaired. But there are no repairs available for this recall at this time.

CVT transmission issues.

Just purchased car a few months ago, transmission just went @ 40,000 miles

The back gate doesn't stay up. It doesn't always want to open either. I push the button and nothing happens or I push the button and it opens but then the gate slowly lowers back down without being touched. And after it is up the button to close it wont respond so it has to be closed manually which is difficult due to the hydraulics. There is a recall for this issue but it doesn't include my VIN #. I think it may be affecting more than the vehicles already recalled.

While on highway car suddenly was not accelerating. Pulled to side of road and turned off car and restarted and would not go forward or backward, was like it was in neutral. Towed the vehicle to be looked at and was told a new transmission was needed.

As reported now for 3 years that my heat does not work. It’s unsafe and I can not have my children in these cold conditions. I love my rouge but the lack of help repairing this heat issue is ridiculous. I am not paying now $1500+ when I reported this under warranty.

Unlike other car this car don’t warn for seat belts. Blind spot lights frequently appers for the vehicle even though the vehicle is opposite direction divided highway .while driving the tires makes unpleasant sound like its not aligned properly .

I have been having issues with the transmission in my 2016 Nissan Rogue. At the date of the filing of a class action lawsuit regarding this issue there were 38 complaints lodged with the NHTSA regarding this same issue, for just that year of the model. That total does not include any complaints regarding the Pathfinder, Altima, Infinity, Versa, or Sentry, or prior or consecutive years of the Rogue, even though there are multiple complaints regarding the issue. The NHTSA does not seem to be concerned with the safety of those that have filed complaints regarding this issue, as they have not ordered a recall. I was even informed earlier that there were no complaints on record, so either the representative did not look closely enough, or at all. To explain the issue all you have to do is look at all other complaints regarding the CVT issue in the Nissan models, lack of acceleration, increased rpms due to revving, lagging when driving, increased shaking when stopped. Please take the complaints serious and have Nissan fix the defect that they are more than aware of. Nissan only acknowledges a problem after warranty expires, and now they are minimally extending warranties to address problem, but most have already gone over mileage extension. This needs to be addressed as an imminent safety issue.

While pulling into a parking slot the vehicle accelerated and crashed thru the front of a medical clinic and into an inner wall. Air bags did NOT deploy.

The transmission began to fail and caused the vehicle to stall for approximately 5 to 6 seconds before moving. There were several instances where I was unable to move my vehicle while in the parking lot and came close to being hit by another vehicle or came close to hitting another vehicle. It is known to Nissan that their CVTs fail and my vehicle had began to fail at 35k miles. They replaced the transfer case 4 times but never replaced the transmission despite my request.

The check engine light came in my car. Thinking it was something simple, because it only has 28k miles. I took it to a non Nissan mechanic for diagnostics. After finding out it wasn’t simple, I called Nissan warranty. They told me I had to take it to their mechanic for diagnostics. So I’m doubly diagnosed with a failing transmission that needs to be replaced. Nissan warranty has offered to pay 70% of repairs. Two weeks ago I asked for an estimate, and a trade in price for my car. They still haven’t returned my call. This is so frustrated because I paid cash for my car, and now all I want to do is dump it.

Both Headlights on low beam do not light up road infront of you although they used to no problem, the regular headlights are so dim it is almost impossible to see without having high beams on. However driving with high beams puts headlights directly in the eyes of oncoming traffic.. improper lighting is dangerous! When driving at night, I must use highbeams or you can not see far enough ahead to confirm nobody walking on side of road and road ahead is clear. This started occurring at approx.. 40,000 miles, my last rogue never had this issue. I have not taken to dealership yet but need to now that I see some of the complaints and our issue is not a bulb.there has been no warnings or messages for this issue to repair ourselves we are unable to do so because it's not a blub it's the direction of the low beam lights have changed we do not know what has caused this we just started noticing we were unable to drive at night securely and did not have $ to take to dealership. Yes my car can be inspected if you are able to do so. I will be taking to mechanic asap I will upload report. This is an ongoing safety issue

The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving 65 mph, when the vehicle began to jerk forward and decelerated to 20 mph. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to park at a near gas station and was stationed for 30 minutes before continue driving to her residence. The contact also stated she was unable to reverse the vehicle from her garage. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed with needing the transmission to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 65,098.

My 2016 Rogue is now needing its 4th passenger side headlight replaced in 5 years. Each time it is due to a broken seal around the headlight, which allowed water to come in and short circuit the headlight & making the non-bright function null. Brights still work. After taking it to 2 separate local Nissan dealerships, they both concluded it was indeed a faulty headlight / design and both indicated it would be $1600 to replace with a new one. After relaying this info to Nissan Corporate, they said they wouldn't help with their "Goodwill Program" since they'd already done so the last time the headlight was replaced and because of the age of the vehicle. However, as I mentioned to the Nissan rep, the issue has never truly been FIXED (ie: the seal area around the headlight to prevent moisture shorting out the light) since the previous headlights have all given out in the exact way. My perception is this is just a poorly designed vehicle that Nissan was willing to flood into the market but was never intended to last more than 5-6 years, nor was Nissan willing to stand behind and admit their design mistakes. By the way, I have a 2015 Armada with more miles than my Rogue and those headlights are still as bright as ever.

Delayed acceleration, engine revving higher rpms without increasing its speed, after being in very slow moving traffic car will only go about 30 mph but rev very high

The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving approximately 55 MPH, the RPMs started to fluctuate. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to park on the side of the road and restarted the vehicle after waiting for 30 minutes. The contact stated that the vehicle continued to experience failure. Additionally, the vehicle started to jerk forward. The vehicle was not drivable. The vehicle was towed to her residence. The contact stated she had an independent mechanic diagnose the vehicle at her residence and she was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The contact called the local dealer and made them aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 108,000.

I was driving on a four lane freeway when my transmission (with no warning) started acting strange. The engine started revving like I was stepping on the gas harder, but the car was actually slowing down. It felt like the engine was going to blow so I took my foot off of the gas. I tried to accelrate to get to the exit lane as cars were trying to pass on the left and right. The transmission would catch and start working sort of and then start racing the engine again. I was able to get off of the highway, but it was a very harrowing experience. Even though I was off of the highway I needed to continue to a safe place. The car continued to race the engine, but not really accelerate. Had car towed to dealer. Car needs new transmission. Apparently this is a known defect with these transmissions.

The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving approximately 25 MPH, the vehicle was idling. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the CVT transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 71,805.

I was driving on highway when my 2016 Nissan Rogue SV with 60,700 miles and just 5 years old transmission began slipping. The RPMs were jumping up and down when I tried to accelerate and travel with highway traffic at 65mph. I could not get vehicle to travel past 50 mph and once I was safely able to pull off exit, the car which was still in drive, began rolling backwards towards other vehicles on exit ramp. No warning lights ever came on, and there was no prior indication of a transmission failure. No stalling, slipping, lurching, etc. My safety along with my 7 & 2 year old was put at great risk as we could have easily been hit going so slow on an interstate, along with it rolling backwards on exit ramp. It was too unsafe to pull off on highway breakdown lane because it’s too narrow. The vehicle was then towed to Nissan dealership where it was confirmed to be a transmission failure at no fault of my own, but a “mechanical failure” as they described and they fixed.

THE VEHICLE HAS LOW MILES (CLOSE TO 30,000) AND TRANSMISSION IS FAILING - DOES NOT WANT TO SHIFT TO NEXT GEAR AND CREATES A DANGER TO PASSENGER AND OTHER DRIVERS.

The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle would idle, shudder, and a knocking noise was heard.

My 2016 Nissan Rogue began jerking on our way home from vacation. It was shaking and and jerking we got so scared it kept bumping us and jerking us we actually had to pull over off the freeway luckily we were near an O' reily's they told us it was the cvt transmission we ended up calling a tow truck to get us as we were soo scared to keep driving.
