Sep 5, 2026Air bags The component that failed is the OC Module for the passenger side front seat. This module along with the sensors are responsible for sensing and dealing the airbags. We noticed the airbag light and took action as soon as possible. We took our Nissan Rouge to the local dealership (All Star Nissan of Denham Springs) where it was diagnosed. We were told that this part is crucial to the airbag deployment system and without it, we will lose function of most airbags if we were to get in a wreck. This included the passenger and rear side air bags. This is an obvious major safety risk and we should not be driving a vehicle that is such a major risk for serious injury. The local dealership has told…
Oct 12, 2026Engine Coolant leaked into engine causing engine failure. Vehicle has 78,000 miles on it.
Oct 18, 2026Unknown or other Backup camera failed. All sensors are working but when placed on reverse no camera are working
Sep 24, 2026Unknown or other The car has a egr cooler going out, it caused the coolant to completely drain and the car started to stall on the highway and jolt making it extremely unsafe to drive. It caused the vehicle to start to overheat and not be able to drive while we were driving on the highway, it could have caused a major accident. This is a known defect across 21 rogues but Nissan is reusing to help since it is not a recall. I contacted the dealership and Nissan consumer affairs.
Oct 2, 2026 · crashElectrical system I was sitting in my car in the passenger seat. The car was in Park, engine was idling to warm up the car. No one was in the drivers seat. After about 5 mins, the car started moving forward without me touching or bumping anything. I didnât notice if the dash display changed from P to D. The shifter light definitely changed out of P. As a result, the car slowly moved forward and bumped a parked vehicle in front of me. No damage to either vehicle due to slow speed. No claim filed. No police report. I just have major safety concerns. I pulled a diagnostic report later and found these codes: SHIFT module codes U0101-00 (lost communication with the transmission computer) and U2141-87
Jun 15, 2026Engine In mid-XXX, my wife reported that all the warning lights (except CHECK ENGINE) lit up along with the warning sounds. The engine immediately started losing power. When car was pulled over, it sounded like a rough running engine and very little power. Since the first time, the issue has occurred a couple dozen of times. When the car is turned off for 30 seconds and turned back on, everything resets and there is no issue. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason for this occurring (happens in hot or cold temps, wet or dry conditions, all speeds, etc). Owner (me) put a FIXD device into the OBD2 port and it provided several error codes - not of which made much sense. I took screen shots of…
Sep 21, 2026Service brakes The brake booster vacuum hose (OEM part 47474â6RA0A) is unavailable nationwide. This part is essential for brake assist. Without it, the vehicle cannot be safely repaired. A failed hose causes hard brake pedal and reduced braking power. Nissan cannot supply the part, creating a safety hazard and preventing proper brake system repair.
