While parked and waiting for drive-thru service, my Nissan Rogue began to smoke and immediately turned into flames under the hood. There was no malfunction or problems before this incident. Approximately 15 minutes prior to the incident, the driver stopped and filled truck with gas. After driving from the gas station, the driver went approximately 10 miles for food, where the car began smoking, and flames coming from under the hood.

Upon my husband going to start the vehicle in the morning, he smelled an electrical fire. The door was locked which was odd so he attempted to use the key fob to unlock and it did not work. He went around to the passenger side door and it opened. To his surprise the interior of the vehicle smelled very strongly of smoke and the windows were black. He was able to get the drivers side door open to realize that the left side of the dash was completely melted along with the fuse box, hood latch, the door, the floor mat, the carpet, the headliner and everything on that side was burned/melted. The heat from the fire shattered the windshield. The vehicle was driven the day prior with no inclination of any problems and was parked in the driveway for the night. A phone call was made to Nissan and a case number was provided.

I WAS IN MOTION ON THE FREEWAY. I HEARD A LOUD POP THEN A METAL TO METAL SOUND. I WAS TOWED TO A MECHANIC WHO STATED THE SUBFRAME IS DAMAGED AND BUSHINGS. ONLINE SEARCHES SHOWED ME OTHER MODELS OF NISSAN WERE RECALLED FOR THIS. MINE DID NOT SHOW UP ON THE RECALL LIST BUT IT PROBABLY SHOULD. HOW DOES THIS JUST HAPPEN? I DON'T FEEL SAFE. I HAVE CHILDREN TO KEEP SAFE. THE ELECTRICAL PART IS THAT MY VEHICLE HESITATES TO NEARLY A STALL, ESPECIALLY IN IDLE AT SAY STOPLIGHTS. I ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT DUE TO A DEFECT WITH YOUR TRANSMISSION. MY WINDSHIELD WIPER SPRAY DOES NOT WORK AND I WAS TOLD A PART WOULD BE COMING IN FOR ME FROM JAPAN. IT'S NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE PART. I GOT A LEMON. I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP UP ON MAINTAINING WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A RELIABLE CAR.

Is 282 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2010 and 2025, roughly 19 a year, which is more than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.
