What owners wrote
Saturday 08/06/2022 my 2016 Nissan Rogue caught fire as I was driving down a side street in Adrian, MI. 49221. Lights came on on my dash, it appeared to be every warning light, the car jerked me over as if I lost power steering and the car took over, my son and I could smell something hot. I put the vehicle in park as flames were coming from the engine compartment, my son was able to open his door and get out, my driver side door would not open and I had to climb out the driver side window!
First the check engine light and the slip indicator (or traction control) light for the vehicle dynamic control would come on and off while driving both on the highway and other roads. Then one day, I went to start my car and all of the dashboard lights began flashing and it wouldn't start. We bought jumper cables and jumped it but it still wouldn't start the next day. So I bought a new battery and it worked for about a week.
