“The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while attempting to accelerate from a complete stop, the vehicle failed to respond, almost causing the contact to be rear-ended by other vehicles. The contact stated that the vehicle responded as needed after depressing the accelerator pedal several times. The transmission warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that a handheld scanner was used and diagnostic trouble code: P0187 was retrieved. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was then taken to a transmission specialist, where an estimated fee for the repair was provided, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 153,000.”

“I have 2015 Nissan Rouge Select for almost 9 year and I haven’t get in any accident with this car . But my air bag light keep turn off twice within a year . Last year it happened on driver side , I replaced it at dealership and the same issue happened just 10 months later . The passenger air bag is off this time . But the dealership said the reason that I can’t accept it. First the mechanic guy told me that the car is old and the way how we drive with the shaking on the road affect airbag wire and sensor . That’s unacceptable because we have an older car than this 2015 Nissan but it never have air bag problem . While we talk with their supervisor to see if there is any recall we miss and what cause the airbag keep going off , he said one thing made me could not believe that the manufacturer would not test the air bag before selling . Is it mean that i bought this Nissan car and I put my self and my family safety under risk while we are on the road ? …...and recently the car transmission failed….”
