Wife was driving car and applied brakes. They didn't work right as the car did not slow as it should have. Rear ended a car that was stopped at light. Assured me 100% that she was applying brakes and that she wasn't texting or looking at phone. Accident occurred at or around 25 MPH into stopped car. Clean hit directly front end to rear end. Everyone walked away sore but relatively unscathed. Cars left via tow trucks. Next day wife was complaining of spots in eye and dizzy. Went to er. Nothing wrong supposedly.
NHTSA recall . My 2015 nissan was involved in an accident on 2/27/16 . Got side swiped on right side from middle of front and back boor going foward . Vehicle spun and then was hit again on the left side from back door going foward all the way to the front. As you can imagine it was a very violent impact, never the less none off the airbags deployed on the vehicle none . You could imagine my suprise none off the airbage depolyed every onr was stuned law enforcment included .
After parking on a steep incline, I set the parking brake by pushing the parking brake pedal. The brake was set. Upon returning to vehicle, I started vehicle, placed in drive, attempted to release parking brake. I was unaware of how to release brake.(previous and post year rogues state on the parking brake pedal "push on push off". My car had a plain black pedal with no inscription).
There is a vibration noticeable in the floor, pedals and steering wheel at around 1250 engine RPM whenever the car speed is steady. It corresponds to about 45-50 MPH when driving in eco mode. It happens while cruising at steady speeds on straight or curved roads. I have complained two or more times to the dealer and nissan USA and the only reply I have received is that it is normal for that model. Other owners have reported this problem on internet forums.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 nissan rogue. While driving various speeds or upon starting the vehicle, the chassis control module, check engine, and traction control warning indicators illuminated. Also, the "see owner's manual" message was displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred three days later. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the ECM needed to be replaced.
