“I was getting ready to load groceries in the back of my 2015 Nissan Rogue as I have done many times and lifted the lift gate. I let go because the gate always stays up on it's own but this time it came crashing back down with major force and hit me in the head. I was stunned to say the least and have a huge lump on my head. The lift gate is not staying up now. This model only opens from the lift gate release on the door (not on the key Fob). I am hurt but this could have been so much worse.

“There is standing water on the driver’s side floorboard and a sloshing noise can be heard while driving. This appears to match conditions described in a Technical Service Bulletin (reference: NTB14-105a). The issue is especially bad in rainy conditions and the accumulation of moisture causes condensation on the inside of the windshield and windows making it difficult to clear off to see while driving. Additionally due to the large amount of water, mold is starting to grow on the interior upholstery. The vehicle has been inspected by the dealer who confirmed the issue although they declined t…”

“The heat in my 2015 Nissan Rogue stopped working last winter. This prevented me from being able to defrost the windshield while driving in the middle of winter! The problem is a faulty blend door on the HVAC box. The actuator motor is made of hard plastic, but the blend door is made from soft plastic. This causes the spline in the blend door to strip out and crack and no longer actuate to allow hot air to enter the cabin. I have pictures of the stripped out spline. The problem has not been reproduced by a dealer or independent service center, but my research online has shown that there are…”

“The harness that controls the lift gate is malfunctioning. It’s an issue from the previous recall that has reproduced results. The only way to fix it is to disconnect and connect the safety pins by the foot panel on the drivers side door. Over time it has progressively gotten worse to the point that anytime it opens, it’ll need to be disconnected and then connected before the next time you use it. Also one time it stopped working when the lift gate was open and would not let you close the lift gate.”

“I HAVE BRIDGESTONE ECOPIA H/L 422 PLUS TIRES (RUN FLAT) ON MY 2015 NISSAN ROGUE. AT 21,696 MILES ALL 4 TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO EXCESSIVE WEAR. BECAUSE THIS SEEMED ODD, I CALLED BRIDGESTONE AND THE TIRES ARE NOT UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY ARE MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR NISSAN. NISSAN DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE TIRES. IT SEEMS THAT TIRES THAT ARE JUST OVER 2 YEARS OLD AND UNDER 23,000 MILES SHOULD HAVE MORE LIFE. IT IS DANGEROUS FOR MY FAMILY AND I WOULD HAVE NEVER AGREED TO LEASE A CAR THAT HAD TIRES THAT WERE UNSAFE AT SUCH LOW MILAGE.”
