My 2018 Nissan is having rear differential issues affecting the transfer case, I did see there was a class action lawsuit. My car is unable to go up any small ramps without stalling. I was told this issue will persist. I still owe the bank money. When I went to the Nissan Dealership they offered me $1,000 for my car. It is a 2018 with 108K miles on it.

UNKNOWN...Heater/Blend door on driver's side of the vehicle does not operate. I have had the step motor replaced 9 months ago and now the nylon nut in the heater box is stripped out and the blend door does not operate at all. In looking for repair options I have come across several other owners who also have this same common issue with this vehicle. This is faulty on the manufacturers part and I am asking for a case to be opened to look into this issue. When I bought the step motor from my local dealership, the parts manager told me that this is a common and large-scale problem with this particular vehicle.

The Blend Door Actuator is completely stripped causing the air that blows throughout the car and defrosts the dash. It is stuck on cold preventing window defrosting, in wintertime this is dangerous limitating visibility. Lots of cases with this.

While driving on the freeway, the overhead console fell from the ceiling of the vehicle. It dropped suddenly and apparently for no reason. Continued operation of the vehicle was impaired due to limited visibility. The dealership viewed the problem as an opportunity to sell parts. Pictures which are included in this communication were sent to the dealership, and, presumably, that is how they made their determination it was not a safety issue. There was no warning.

- The automatic rear lift gate trunk door fails to open all of the way up. The automatic rear lift gate trunk door fails to stay raised once opened. Yes, I provide consent for my vehicle to be inspected. - The gate falls and hits your head if under it. - The Nissan dealer confirms this is a routine failure in this vehicle and even acknowledges that it should be a recall. It is in fact so routine that multiple lift gates in this specific year/model are fixed per week and they are an annoyance and difficult to repair. It requires new parts in the lift gate hydraulic components to repair. - Yes- the dealer has viewed my vehicle and quoted me a price for repairs. Roughly $700-$1,000 to repair. -No warnings or indications before its failure. And no warnings from the vehicle now that it is broken.

I don't see a recall outstanding for the catalytic converter system but it says in 2020 there was a recall. My catalytic converter has gone bad. Makes we wonder if the work was ever really done? It should not go bad after on 4 years.

My Car will stop suddenly, and unpredictably at various times. The car will stop and sometimes shake as it acts like its stalling out and an emergency light flashes up briefly. This has almost caused us to be in multiple wrecks. I am scared to drive this car and scared to have my children in the car. This is so unpredictable; it cannot be diagnosed at just any time. I'm not sure what to do but am super fearful this is going to cause a wreck and we could be injured and possibly injure others as this happens at any time and comes to a complete stop. Please help! This started from a few weeks after we purchased in 2021 but has got to be more frequent as of the last 3 months (2023) and worse in severity. I am very fearful.

So the CVT transmission on my 2018 Nissan Rouge has begun to fail. I ask my personal mechanic and took it to Star Nissan in Illinois and both said that the transmission is wearing out quicker than normal, they suggested I see if it had been recalled, and to my surprise, it hasn't and they are guessing that the transmission was worn out before I bought it. They were recalled for the same problem but were never taken. The bad thing is that there is no error or light that says the transmission is failing. I drive with the car on a daily and risk my life and others just cause the car doesn't move and I need to turn it off and turn it back on so it resets. The car smells like burning metal from the transmission. When I go 20 the rpms hit 5000 which should be normal.

We have had a gas smell in our garage, outside the car and inside the cabin and inside our house since 2022 and the service technician confirmed it but said I'd have to pay $160 for them to diagnose it plus parts and labor to fix it. There are lots of "Nissan Rogue gas smell in cabin" complaints AND there is a class action lawsuit filed on the 2020-2023 models. I've seen the same complaints as far back as 2009 so they have been alerted and know about this faulty assembly problem for years and have not taken responsibility for fixing it. We've gotten used to it and a neighbor came over yesterday and said he was getting nauseated from the smell in our living area so I put it out in driveway and this a.m. it wasn't as bad. It's a health and fire hazard and we have gas stove. I'm not sure if local TV Action Reporter could get anything done or if we should hire a lawyer. People walking up to my car exclaim "I smell gas!" No warnings on dash. It seems to be faulty assembly of fuel line to tank or in that area as it's strongest in back seat. My wife has MGUS, arthritis and other medical problems and this is causing a lot of mental stress worrying that the car will catch on fire while we're in it! I will Never buy another Nissan now that I see that they don't care what happens once you buy it! Please answer asap as we use it everyday and don't want cancer, etc. from inhaling gas fumes. Purely breathing the fumes (gasoline inhalation) can result in the following symptoms: coughing and other breathing difficulties, headaches/dizziness, heart failure, and more. Because of how the hydrocarbons attack the nervous system, a wide range of symptoms is possible, but they can all eventually be deadly.

The HVAC air door bend plastic piece is stripped within. The door actuator has been replaced and did NOT fix the issue. The driver side only blows cold air as a result. This is a hazard because when it becomes winter time, this can be dangerous due to the inability to stay warm or defrost the windshield. Nissan is wanting to charge consumers $3000 dollars to replace the whole HVAC system due to faulty construction of the actuator plastic component where the motor door is inserted. The part number is 27749-14BUOA but it is not the door insert but the plastic piece as seen in the attachment.
