This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Both headlights have moisture located on the inside of the glass. Saturated with BIG BEADS of water. Both headlights fogged up so bad they were basically useless. There is no front end damage, car has been well cared for. Lewiston Idaho Nissan dealer could care less. Owner replaced BOTH Headlights at his own expense.
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
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.
I have been pulled over twice now because of passenger headlight out, and also the license plate lights out. When I went to replace bulbs both lights were in working order. The headlight was working when I first started driving. It quit while in motion. The license plate light quit working on a different occasion and I am not 100% sure if it worked when I first started to drive. I was pulled over and given a ticket. The next day I went to nearest auto parts store and purchased new bulbs. When I went to replace both bulbs they were both working. I obviously am unable to say if they both quit while driving, however I now check all lights before driving anywhere.
In February 2016 I purchased a 2016 Nissan after having owned muranos or Rogue for about 9 previous years. The headlite system was changed to a led computer controlled system. The headlites were now very focused with no light escaping from a heavy direct concentrated beam. If the normal headlites were turned on and directed toward the back of another you can distinctly notice the clear area from the ground up to the height of the Rogue's hood. The rest of the light would appear to be tinted. If the high beams were turned on you would have more light on the object in front of the Rogue. The main problem is when the Rogue is headed down hill. The bottom of the hill would be lit up but the area directly in front of the Rogue would be like a black hole especially if traveling on an unlit country road. An accident waiting to happen. I returned to demo this condition to the Nissan dealer who confirmed my feelings about the headlites. I then reported the same info to Nissan who took my comments but did not indicate whether anything would be done. I urge you to investigate as it is another indication that headlites are a defect and should be corrected. Thank you, the vehicle performs the same way whether stationary, in motion or on any type of road but is most dangerous on a dark country road.
