In September 2024 I too my car to Bedford Nissan in Ohio. They did an oil change and since then my car has been having issues. When reversing and switching into drive my car jerks extremely hard. I contacted them to let them know and they advised me to bring the car in to get it looked at. Due to my life situations, I was unable to do so at that time. In the beginning of October 2024 my car completely shut down. I was unable to shut it off with the push button or change gears. All of the lights on the dashboard came up. It took me almost 20 minutes for it to finally restart. I contacted Nissan immediately and they advised to bring it back to them. My 2023 brand new car already had a dead battery, faulty wires in the car, the screen goes in and out, and had an Axcel leak. The supposedly fixed these issues. A few weeks later I am having the same exact problems. …
First issue: After starting the vehicle there can be a smell of gasoline in the passenger cabin for a little bit. Also after parking vehicle in garage and turning off engine, the garage smells of gas and remains overnight, it is not exhaust fumes. Sometimes it seems to be worse after driving in reverse. There is no sign of a liquid leak on the undercarriage or on the floor. Happens whether the gas tank is full or near empty. Vehicle is only 2 months since purchase. Second issue: The rear of the vehicle jerks sideways, usually toward the passenger side, when going over pavement joints, cracks or bumps. It is worse at highway speeds, but happens around town also. The rear of the vehicle doesn't seem to track straight when bumped. Took the vehicle to the dealer to check alignment and they said it was within specification and made no adjustments. …
1. right front lower control arm broke yes available for inspection 2. caused my vehicle to pulled to the right and could not steer straight and caused collision into parked car. 3. no not yet 4. no not yet 5. no
Started noticing the difference with the vehicle around 7,000 miles while driving at different speeds traveling to and from work. it did get worse over time and at 17,000 miles it was at the dealer and they stated that no issues were found or present. Vehicle will have excessive sway / bounce and will dip to one side depending what imperfections you will drive over during the trip. I have no idea how they test the vehicles at the dealer as there is an issue with it when stated to the personnel but at the end it seems to be nothing wrong. Does it take an accident to happen with severe injuries nowadays to have them take something serious. As a service technician my self by bouncing the rear bumper downwards it seems very bouncy, indicating bad shocks. If dealer's technician cant seem to see this then i have no words beyond the quality of service people get once they purchase the vehicles.
The contact owns a 2020 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the contact heard an abnormal sound. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the front driver's and passenger's side strut bearing assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but continued to experience the failure. The contact took the vehicle back to the local dealer and had the front driver's and passenger's side strut bearing assembly replaced a second time. The contact experienced the failure a third time. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 16,000.
I purchased finance my car july 2024. Took it for an oil change and tire rotation. Jenkin Nissan came upon a crack damage and bent front sub frame. Im am being told I should not be driving my car. I took it to Hgreg twice. Because I was loosing air in my passenger tire. They told me there was a nail in it. Hut never plug it. They zip tie the bottom where everything was hanging. My 5 days was up. For me to return my vehicle
Steering wheel locked up while vehicle was in motion (moving). Yes. Steering noise coming from steering column. Lost control of steering while driving, drove into oncoming traffic. I was injuried while trying to get my vehicle in control. Yes, grease was but onto the steering boot by the dealer and charged. The steering wheel stiffens from time to time. After my accident with the my vehicle the dealer charged me to grease the steering boot, problem is still present. Loud noise coming from steering column began around 25,000.
When we turn to the left, there's a "popping" noise from the front suspension When the vehicle is turned back to straight the same pooping sound is made. I found a recall for this same vehicle but the years 2014-2016 (NTB15-062c).
