general problems of the 2010 Nissan Rogue

Upon my husband going to start the vehicle in the morning, he smelled an electrical fire. The door was locked which was odd so he attempted to use the key fob to unlock and it did not work. He went around to the passenger side door and it opened. To his surprise the interior of the vehicle smelled very strongly of smoke and the windows were black. He was able to get the drivers side door open to realize that the left side of the dash was completely melted along with the fuse box, hood latch, the door, the floor mat, the carpet, the headliner and everything on that side was burned/melted. The heat from the fire shattered the windshield. The vehicle was driven the day prior with no inclination of any problems and was parked in the driveway for the night. A phone call was made to Nissan and a case number was provided.

While parked and waiting for drive-thru service, my Nissan Rogue began to smoke and immediately turned into flames under the hood. There was no malfunction or problems before this incident. Approximately 15 minutes prior to the incident, the driver stopped and filled truck with gas. After driving from the gas station, the driver went approximately 10 miles for food, where the car began smoking, and flames coming from under the hood. There were no warning signs, messages or malfunctions prior to this incident. The car was running quietly and smoothly and had not encountered any problems prior to the incident.

I was driving the vehicle and stopped at a sonic drive thru. I shifted the car into park and I began to hear a very loud creaking noise. When I shifted the car into drive, the car wouldn’t move. I called a firestone mechanic and he concluded that it was the cv belt that is connected to the transmission. Regardless, only a transmission shop could handle this issue. I called carmax auto, and spoke with a jason hewitt. Mr hewitt informed me that carmax will have a tow truck come get the car. The following day, the car was towed by carmax to amaco for an official diagnostic. I was notified the following day that my vehicle had a damaged axle and appears to have been cause by a “car accident. ” mr hewitt told me to file a claim in my insurance. I told mr hewitt that most likely the tow company damaged my axle. He stated he didnt know what exactly caused it but they will not be able to address the transmission issue until this axle and converter is paid for. Additionally, I’ve had the car for 14 months and 6 months into my lease agreement, the check engine light came and stayed on due the catalytic converter. The air and heat stopped working in September of 2023.

I was driving at night on a backroad highway & noticed the driver headlight out so I started used my brights, then noticed smoke & flames coming from the driver side headlight I immediately pulled over called 911 & tried pouring water on it myself while I wait. Took about 8 mins for police & maybe 12-15 for fire department. The police tried to use a fire extinguisher which did not work, by the time fire department got there the whole car was completely up in flames & burnt to the ground.

A police bystander was at the location assist the contact with in min the vehicle en gloved in flames. The fire department was contacted and extinguished the flames. The vehicle was towed by the police to a lot where it was deemed a total loss. No dealer contacted. Nhtsa campaign number: 10v401000 equipment as a possible solution to the failure that occurred. However, the VIN was not included with the recall. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 179,000. Ck.

Vehicle was in motion, on a country rd. There was a smell, almost like if windshield washer fluid spills, then smoke from under the hood. Then flames on the right front, under the hood. I pulled over, turned the car off, grabbed my purse and ran. 2 good samaritans pulled over and just happened to have a fire extinguisher and were able to put it out. The whole right headlight was melted away.

My car have issues with the control arm switch for the lights I put the high beam and the directional light comes on the emergency light everything happens went the light are on.

I parked the car on Friday evening on street, caught fire on Sunday morning, neighborhood called firefighters and firefighters did their job but I didn't know anything about it. My house was couple of blocks away. I saw my burned car on Monday afternoon. Burned steering wheel area, brake area and dashboard. I collected fire incidents report from fdny and it mentioned heat source was electrical arcing and other. I had to move the car because it was on the street.

I took the car to the dealership I purchased the car from because there were winning noises coming from the left side in the engine/transmission compartment. In addition to cut and unsealed wires under the dash and in the fuse box, as well as a stuck caliper (that they replaced for my convenience according to the service manager). The car has been in the dealer for a total of 2 weeks in the 1 month I have own the car and they have only fixed the caliper. My concern with the cut and unsealed wires is that lights (parking brake and battery) in the dash turn on while I am driving and it has turned off on me when coming to a stop. It happened to my wife (with my newborn in the car) when she was driving the car in the highway, she came to a stop because of traffic and the car turned off on her creating an unsafe environment for both my newborn and child. The response from the dealer was "we are unable to duplicate the failure, the computer doesn't show any codes" yet it happens to me frequently.

I was driving on a highway and noticed heavy smoke coming from the front passenger side by the headlights. I pulled over and fire started shooting up. I was told �it's electrical and nothing to do with the front end that was being worked on� which was 4 days prior. Also I was told there's no recall on that particular area.

When I apply the brakes, the car sometimes just shuts down completely and turns off. I have been able to then put the car in park, and restart it. It has happened when I have slowed the car down to go over speed bumps, when I stopped at a stop sign or red light. It also happened on a highway on-ramp. Nissan has not been able to fix it.

As I was driving my car I see smoke entering from the dashboard, I knew than that my car will burst on fire. I parked on an empty parking right away and got out from the car and run as fast as I can. The car quickly caught on fire from the hood and by the time the fire fighters showed up the car was half way burned.

The first time the incident happened I was exiting the expressway and after stopping at a red light the car started to make a weird noise. When trying to accelerate through the green light the car would not move for 15 seconds. I even tried slamming the gas pedal down. After that I would always hear a whining noise when driving on the expressway or a prolonged amount of time. When driving out of state to tennessee the car started to decrease in speed on a hill and I was almost hit by a cop. Pulling over at a gas I let the car sit for 30 mins. I tried to renter the expressway and the car still would not move. After a while I was able to get back on the expressway. Once in tennessee the car barely made it up the hills I had to time it just right. On the way back to GA the car began the issues again and while trying to pull off the car decreased in speed so quickly I was almost hit by a semi-truck. I have taken the car in for the electrical recall that did not help. The car has had two complete tune ups nor has not worked. I refuse to pay out of my pocket for another transmission; which has not aided others in this same situation. I have been dealing with this for a year. Everyday it's a guessing game if the car will ever get me to and from work safely.

I started my Rogue and left a driveway as I approached a stop sign about 2 miles ahead the car stalled. I was still in gear, the engine was off, and the check engine light was on. After stopping I was able to restart the car after a few tries. Then, for the next 2-4 miles it revved really high and seem to be in a recover mode and would not allow me to go over 40 mph. The service center can't replicate and claims that the oil was overfull. There were some codes but they didn't feel those applies to the incident therefore this issue isn't warrantied. This is a major safety concern for myself, my family, and other drivers on the road that Nissan refused to acknowledge or remedy.

My car was parked in the driveway. I had arrived home at 3:30pm on a Saturday. The next morning at 10:00am, I went to my car to find that something had exploded inside. There had been a significant amount of fire damage to the front passenger's side, including the glove compartment, the dash, and the location of the airbag. My best guess as to what happened is that the airbag exploded (not deployed), causing a fire, which damaged the electrical system, and caused a lot of cosmetic damage. There is no evidence of the airbag, other than some springs, it does not look like it simply deployed. The insurance company has deemed it a total loss. I feel that this is something that Nissan should cover, not me or my insurance company. But I cannot determine what actually happened or how to pursue legal action against them. Thankfully, no one was injured. I have no idea why the dire was self-contained, and the entire car didn't explode.

I took a trip to chicago going through the mountains in tennessee. As I was going up the mountain my 2010 Nissan Rogue begin to slow down, disengage from my cruise control no matter how hard I press the petal my car would not go any faster. This occurs through out the trip to chicago and later to north carolina. Before taking the trips I had my ctv light come on and the car would almost cut off or stall when I came to a stop. I took that in to my Nissan person who fix that problem but could not fix my new problem but referred me to my dealer. He stated that Nissan was having problems with the cvt transmission and had extended the warranty up to 120,000. 00. I have taken the car in to the dealers but they would only drive it around the block, no light would come, no code to fix. Please refer to the information provided by edmund . Com concerning the cvt transmission problems with the Nissan 2010 rouge. There are two service bulletin that show this problem only occurs on long distance travel. Unfortunately , Nissan recommend that I continue to drive the car putting my life and family at danger until the problem occurs, only if there is a light come on then bring it in to them to fix. This is a huge safety issue, they do not want to fix the problem because the problem is the cvt new transmission. I am suppose to continue to drive and make my monthly payment even though there is a serious defect with this car. I want Nissan to purchase back this car at fair market value and I would like to see my government recall these cars before someone dies.

While parking the vehicle the smell smoke was emanating. At once the hood popped opened and fire ensued from the drivers side near the headlights fire was beginning to spread. Fortunately a good samaritan neighbor went to one of the nearby establishments and obtained a fire extinguisher and put out the fire.

2010 Rogue has repeated problems with acceleration. Specifically from a stopped position. And when on a hill, if you are stopped, it won't accelerate at all, even when pushing driving pedal all the way down to the floor. On top of this, it now will not hold a cruise with cruise control on the interstate. Extremely dangerous when attempting to turn left from a stopped position without a green arrow. This is apparently, according to complaints, a very common problem, and there needs to be a recall. Have called dealership three times to schedule service and tell them about this major problem only to be told I would get a call back with no call-back. Am showing up tomorrow with my car insisting on an answer.
