1 Wiring problem of the 2016 Nissan Rogue

Failure Date: 01/04/2021

I purchased my vehicle in 2016 brand new. Not even a year into owning the vehicle, at 12,497 miles on 5/1/2017, my ac stopped working and nothing was blowing out of the vents. The part that was repaired/replaced on my invoice states, "rpl thermistor/thermo control amplifier. The ac stopped working a second time at 14,976 miles on 8/14/2017. This time, the part that was repaired/replaced on the invoice states, "rpl fan & motor". My ac stopped working a third time at 54,644 miles on 6/10/2020. The part that was repaired/replaced on the invoice states, "rpl blower resistor/control amplifier. " this time, I finally reported it to Nissan and they gave me a "goodwill adjust" where they offered to pay 70% of the repairs due to being outside of warranty. You are never going to believe this, but it happened a fourth time at 60,509 miles on 1/5/2021, but this time it was during the winter and the heat would not come out of the blowers. The Nissan dealership that tried to diagnose my vehicle ($140 diagnosis fee) said that they would need to take apart the entire dashboard (which would be 1-2 hours of labor at $140/hour) because they "traced an electrical issue within the dashboard harness, would need further diag in order to confirm repair needed". Basically, the service advisor who called me from the dealership said that they already need to replace the part that was just installed 6/10/2020 (not even 6 months ago) because it is an electrical issue, they would most likely need to replace the blower motor, and either repair or replace wiring, which could be over $4,000 to replace the dashboard harness. I contacted Nissan again and explained that this has been an ongoing issue since 12,497 of owning the vehicle and because they already helped me once outside of warranty, they will not help me again.

3 Wiring problem of the 2016 Nissan Rogue

Failure Date: 08/23/2020

My 2016 Nissan Rogue stalled suddenly while my daughter was driving it at 25 mph. After 3 days of investigation it turns out the wiring harness had not been properly secured and the casing wore off from rubbing up against the car, causing a short that cause a failure of the electronic control module. Had this happened at high speed, she could have been killed.

4 Wiring problem of the 2016 Nissan Rogue

Failure Date: 04/07/2020

5 Wiring problem of the 2018 Nissan Rogue

Failure Date: 03/31/2020

On March 31, 2020, while slowing for a traffic light, my vehicle began to shake violently and as I came to a complete stop, the engine shut off. Upon taking the vehicle to a local Nissan dealership, I was informed that the engine wiring harness would need to be replaced. This is a problem, in and of itself, because this component can typically last for the lifetime of a vehicle except in cases for which there is extensive damage to the vehicle such as an accident or flood, neither of which have been the case. Multiple external service technicians have agreed that this type of mechanical failure should not be occurring in a newer model vehicle with less than 50,000 miles. It is my firm belief that the mechanical failure of a component which rarely fails point to poor quality of craftsmanship and should be investigated as a potential recall issue as it poses a safety issue and the occurrence of such an issue at this stage of a vehicle's life is highly unlikely.

7 Wiring problem of the 2014 Nissan Rogue

Failure Date: 11/05/2017

Tail lights on drivers side stopped working. Light bulbs were replaced but this did not fix the problem. Signal light and brake light continue to work but no tail lights. Nissan dealership is currently trying to resolve the problem but are having trouble locating the cause. They tell me they are in contact with Nissan technicians via e-mail and expect that they will have to replace the wiring harness. The car is 3 1/2 years old and has just under 42000 miles. The car has been to the Nissan service center numerous times to adjust other recall issues and four times to fix the air conditioner. I can only assume that any electrical problems the car has could only come from defect or from previous repairs done by the service dept. I believe I have a reasonable expectation that the electrical system in any new car should certainly last longer than 3 1/2 years.
