Ac compression / motor quit working. Yes is available forn inspection. 2.How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? - I'm not sure if battery acids are considered to be airborne toxins but you could smell aulfer almost like rotten eggs everytime I turned on the ac and then it stopped working. 3.Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? - I could not say for sure if it has or has not been. 4.Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? - currently not yet just bought the vehicle.

“There is a water leak on the driver side floor and the body shop can figure out where it's coming from. My vehicle also had issues with the latch due to corrosion. The body shop was able to fix that issue. My navigation system and dash turns off and on as I am driving. The bodyshop can't find any issues with that either. Clear something is wrong with it.”

“Sun visor mirror plastic retaining clips broke causing mirrors to dangle from wires. One of the wires broke and made contact with the other lead. This caused a short that melted the wires in the head liner and started a fire. The short did not trip a fuse and the only way to stop the short in the wire and resulting fire was to disconnect the car battery.”

“The contact's deceased mother owned a 2014 Nissan Rogue that was inherited by his son. The contact stated that the vehicle had been parked in his son's driveway in the rain. The contact stated that his son later noticed that the driver's side floorboard was filled with water.

The dealer discovered that the body sealing along the fire wall, below the driver's side windshield and behind the fender liners was not sealed, allowing water to leak onto the driver's side floorboard. The dealer resealed the body seal; however, upon picking up the vehicle from the dealer's parking lot, the contact noticed that the failure had reoccurred. The dealer removed the driver's seat and carpet and verified that there was no other potential water leak source. The dealer then reinstalled the seat and…”
