general problems of the 2016 Nissan Rogue - part 1

On [xxx] I was at a stoplight with my children and when it turned green I went to proceed and then I was moving slowly and it wasn't letting me go any specific speed and died in the middle of the road on a busy intersection at that leaving my children and I at risk of being potentially hit by another car, and it was in the evening time something could have happened to us ladies as I have a [xxx] and a [xxx] and I'm a [xxx]. Mind you my battery was brand new so there was no indications on my dashboard giving me any sign of warnings nor was my Nissan Rogue driving any different as I've kept up with maintenance and oil changes all of the above. So not only did I have to get out and push my Nissan Rogue out of the road my [xxx] had to steer and I about got ran over and that's jeopardized in my life and then my kids wouldn't have had a mother thank god people jumped off their bicycles to help me. Then people the gas station tried to jump me but they're jumper cables and they said your battery is completely dead and I said that's not possible because I have a brand new battery as of a couple weeks ago just for the simple being that I'm responsible and I replace things when it's past the time and needs to be replaced. So my friend drove all the way up to us went across the street to autozone and bought a brand new battery and put it in then car started right up and was back to normal. But after the girls and I got home and went to bed we got up did our normal daily routine and got in the car to go do some errands and I pull out of my neighborhood and then boom I did it again and I was stuck in the middle of traffic on [xxx] . Three officers had to block off traffic then battery wouldn't hold a charge with that brand new battery three batteries later and an alternator we'll see what happens now information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

1. Driver's window stopped working. 2. After seeing similar online complaints about similiar issues with Nissan Rogue's from 2014 to 2017. I traced the issue to a severed wire of the left front door wiring harness; there are several additional wires with cracked insulation and these wires are exposed (see photos). The location is inside the rubber gromet between the car body and the door. The harness appears to be defective though it is not clear if it's a part defect or improper installation at time of manufacture. 3. This appears to be a fire hazzard - several wires are exposed due to cracked wiring insulation. 4. (7-21-25) opened case #55381708 with Nissan north America customer support ("nna"). 5. (7-22-25) nna requested that a dealer technician needs to inspect. 6. (7-29-25) brought vehicle to chapman Nissan and the dealer technician confirmed the wiring issues (see report) and recommended replacement of the left front door wiring harness. The part, #24125-4ba0d, is on national backorder. 7. (8-4-25) nna rep, rhonda, indicated that nna would not be able to provide out-of-warranty assistance. When I pressed further if she had reviewed the photos, she would not acknowledge having them on file and was evasive. Rhonda threatened to terminate the call with in response to my questioning. Given the resistance, I ended the call. Note: it felt like nna outsources these cases. 8. There were no dashboard warning lamps or sounds noting any wiring issue. 9. Note: there was a previous recall by Nissan that was associated with wiring in 2022.

A component in my transmission failed. I hooked it up to a code reader and it is saying its a solenoid. My car did not experience any warning signs or trouble. It just out if no where decided it wont go into reverse and move and it wont move in drive either. It did this and then after the engine made a noise the check engine light turned on. It is now at a repair shop being looked at. Again this happened out of the blue with no warning signs. I also have only had the car for one year.

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 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.

- 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.

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.

When I am driving my 2016 Nissan Rogue the automobile itself with no others in the vehicle starts unlocking and locking the doors automatically.

While driving home from work, the vehicle's transmission stopped working, resulting in coasting out of traffic and requiring a tow home at night. My safety and the safety of others were at risk. The next morning, the vehicle was towed to the mechanic shop, which confirmed the transmission failed and needs a complete replacement. There was not any warning lights or clear symptoms. In hindsight, there were some slight performance warnings that began about 2 miles prior to failure. The vehicle had a slight hesitation (like driving a car that wasn't warmed up prior to the 1990s or using cheap gas) but it was so slight and not alarming or cause for concern. The following day I was scheduled to drive to san fransisco, had the failure occurred on I-80, it would have been a dangerous situation. Another safety issue is the radio screen that doesn't work when the outside temperature is hot, it flashes so bright, and it is so distracting that I put a postcard in front of it to dim the strobe effect. The dealership said I need to replace the computer but it was safe to drive. This vehicle has been well maintained and has approx 121k miles. The link to the repair estimate from the mechanic stopped working after I declined the $9000 cost. So I cannot provide that. The vehicle was towed back to my home, and it is parked in my driveway until I figure out what to do.

The driver door lock actuator locked into place and results in not letting the door close properly. According to research this is a known issue for several Nissan models. There are no warning signs. Confirmed with dealership.

The power window components are malfunctioning and have failed. The driver side window is moving up and down at random, and the rear passenger side window has failed and is falling down at random leaving window open and will not stay up. This is a huge safety issue, and puts the driver and passengers in the rear all at risk. The vehicle has been checked at Nissan, and confirmed to have motor failure, regulator failure, structural holes in the door panel unoperable and unrepairable. Due to the malfunction and failure of all of these components involved, the recommendation is to replace the entire door. There was previously a warning light, unknown warning light. This is an electrical issue with malfunctions and I should not be held responsible for this door repair, and safety issue, which is estimated to cost $4,000. Please advise on this defect/safety issue.
