“I acquired a 2015 Nissan Rogue, but it seems the transmission has failed. Interestingly, the transmission is identified as a 2014 model within the 2015 vehicle. I reached out to the dealership for clarification on whether the transmission had been replaced, but I received no assistance. Discussions in a Nissan forum reveal that this issue is common among Nissan vehicles, yet there is no official recall. Numerous owners have expressed concerns regarding the transmission's reliability. Given that my vehicle has only 82,000 miles, it is unexpected for the transmission to malfunction at this stage.”
“The passenger airbag is not activated. I bought car 6/11/26 and I don’t believe there was a problem or I did not notice it. I saw online that there was an airbag problem recall in the past.”
“I am reporting a severe safety hazard and failure of a critical safety remedy on my 2015 Nissan Rogue. Over a 23-day period, a Faulkner Nissan, a certified Nissan dealer mismanaged a severe water intrusion defect. On April 28, 2026 (102,965 miles), I was charged $1,228.67 out-of-pocket for recall-related burnt and shorted harness connectors (Recall 22V024000 / R21B9). On May 13, 2026 (104,656 miles), the vehicle returned with electronic and steering errors; the dealer cleared active CAN codes and dismissed the issue. On May 21, 2026 (105,060 miles), the vehicle suffered a catastrophic failure. Ongoing water intrusion completely flooded the driver and passenger floorboards, rusted the structural floor, destroyed the previous repair, and shorted out the vehicle's tail lights. The vehicle is currently an active fire and crash hazard due to unmitigated water entry onto major wiring systems.”
