I have a 2011 Nissan Rogue with 27000 miles. Within the first 2 months I started noticing little weird things in the car. My uto heads lights would not shut off after hitting daylight, the electronic driver seat would sporadically shift when starting the engine, the ipod would turn on when the engine would turn on, with the audio of the rad io turned off. I went to Nissan a few times and yes, they could not duplicate so they returned the car,
About 2 months after I had the car, I went to start it after visiting relatives in NJ. Had to call AAA to jump start the car. No power no lights. Could not image why it just died. The following day went to Nissan and complained. They tested the battery said it was fine and sent me on my merry way. The other issues continued for the next two years and I kept going back. Could not duplicate, Then on 12/13/12, it got really crazy. While the car was running, the dashboard indicators reset themselves to factory setting right in front of my eyes. I went to open my trunk to put luggage in it with the engine running, the trunk would not open. I had to shut the engine off in order to open the trunk. Then on 12/14/13 naturally while out of state, I went to start the car . The car was unlocked, so went in to start carm, DEAD. Lights on thoughs but could not turn the ignition on thru the smartkey. attempted to lock the car with smartkey, would not lock. had to have the car towed on a Sunday to a dealership about 125 miles away from where we were but 100 mileds from where we lived. The following morning, the car starteds for the dealership. They kept the cars 3 days and each day it started fine. Finally Nissan factory said change the battery as it was too small (it was the Nissan installed battery). they changed it to a 700 amp rather than the standard 47 amp that came with the car. Drove to Connecticut to pick up the car, drove it home on 12/23/12. Started fine. On Christmas Day, drive 50 miles for family celebration, and when I went to start to come home, esact as what occured on 12/134/. try getting a tow on Christmas night. Had to borrow a car to come home, divbe back in the morning, get a tow truck and tow it back to Nissan (my normal Nissan dealer). The car has been there since 12/26/12. it is now 1/17/13 and the car is still there. Nissan Consumer affairs fror Long Island region has been working with us and the dealer. They haved given me a loaner car for all these days. They were able to duplicate the issue oncde since this time. It seems like to computer "goes into a sleep mode" and sporadically does not wake up, therefore no starting. The dealership has ordered a new Engine and Body Control module and will havde it installed tomorrow.
I will say that Nissan Cosumer Affairs and Nissan of Huntiongton has been working long and hard on this issue and hopefully this will be fixed. I am very skeptical and am not sure I want to keep the car as I will always wonder but at least they are trying. Will keep all informed when I get it back. Obviously, I see now, I am not alone. I thought I was the only one with these issues and that I was gouing crazy, but i guess if I am going cray so are alot of other Rogue owners based on what I am reading,.
