I was caught in a snowstorm, driving about 5 MPH. Suddenly, the vehicle swerved to the left and I lost complete control; the brakes locked up. The vehicle spun about 145 degrees before coming to a stop perpendicular to the road; subsequently rear-ended from behind. The moment was surreal; I've never felt closer to a life-threatening incident because I had ZERO CONTROL over the car: I was spared ONLY because there was no oncoming traffic. My biggest concern is why the safety systems failed to intervene. During the incident, the ABS did NOTHING. Traction Control, NOTHING. NO warning lights came on. It's mind blowing that the car skidded about 145 degrees without any intervention from the ABS and Traction Control systems. With modern 4-channel ABS and advanced Traction Control (Vehicle Dynamic Control) safety systems, the car should have attempted to correct itself. …
Bought a 2022 Nissan Rouge on 9/2024 from Car Dealer. In November 2024, the car would not start. Jump start worked so we thought it might be battery related so bought a New Battery. AND Took it back to the dealer in the same month November 2024 as i was worried about the car shutting down in the middle of the highway and can't restart. DANGEROUS. The Car Dealer did an inspection(or so they said) and said no problems with the car but they would not give me a printout to confirm. Said that their printer and email was not working. Fast forward, May 2025, while DRIVING the car on [redacted] , it started shaking and shut off. . This time, it would not RESTART. Had it jump started several times but NOTHING worked. …
Regards to the recall-I have had this/ my rogue back and forth to Nissan 6-7 times with the same complaints of noise, shaking, power decrease on the highway to where I had to pull over, a few times, engine mounts were swapped and still have the same problems. I called about the recall and was told I had to wait until there's a remedy and I advised them that I feel unsafe driving it, they then told me they could take the car until there's a remedy but only give me a kicks, which under normal circumstances would be fine however, I recently had hip surgery and can't be low to the ground or be at a 90 degree angle. I advised the dealership of that and they stated they can't give me a different car. I find this unacceptable as it's not my fault with the engine repair , I can't drive it as it's unsafe and driving the kicks could possibly damage my hip, it's not safe for me either way. …
Originally I took my vehicle into Nissan of Gadsden due to issues with the EGR System Failure in April 2025. The egr system was already replaced once a year before, but due to past recalls they replaced the system without appropriate diagnosis/scanning dtc codes. They had the car for 2 weeks and after picking the vehicle up the motor shattered itself while traveling at interstate speeds almost causing accident due to rapid declaration. The motor was diagnosed as no reparable and gave no solutions. After 4 months of calling and making complaints, it was determined that the vehicle fell under the Recall 25V-437 / R25A8. It took them a month to get approved and install the new motor and turbo at Hallmark Nissan of Birmingham. I was called to pick the vehicle up 09/22/2025 after repair. …
While driving at highway speed, the vehicle suddenly lost all engine power without warning and rapidly decelerated in traffic. This created a severe safety risk, and the vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The issue was later connected to open recall R25A8, involving engine bearing failure and sudden loss of power. The dealership confirmed that no inspection procedure or repair remedy exists and stated that they have no timeline for when Nissan will provide one. Despite this, the dealer returned the vehicle to me and claimed it was safe to drive, even though the problem remains unresolved. Nissan Consumer Affairs refuses to communicate in writing and only provides verbal phone calls. Each time they call, they state that they will "provide an update in three days," but no real progress or written documentation has been provided. …
