2008 Nissan Rogue Body & Structure Problems

Water is leaking onto your driver's side floorboard when it rains, even after a dealer performed a recall repair that was supposed to fix the problem. The leak is getting worse over time. You may need the sunroof drains inspected and the water intrusion barrier or seals checked to prevent electrical damage and corrosion.

FRONT EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE DOES NOT WORK FROM COLD FROST WEATHER. VEHICLE WAS PARKED. SAME PROBLEM FROM PREVIOUS RECALL IN 2014.

MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR JUST STOPPED WORKING/INABILITY TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. PER LOCAL NISSAN SERVICE CENTER, IT IS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ACCELERATOR. I'VE SEEN THIS PROBLEM COME UP ON SEVERAL ONLINE FORUMS WHEN I GOOGLED NISSAN DRIVER SIDE DOOR RECALL AND IT LOOKS LIKE NISSAN HAD A VOLUNTARY RECALL FOR NISSAN DOOR HANDLES IN THE PAST.

IT WAS FREEZING WEEK WEATHER TEMPERATURE. I CAME HOME AND THE NEXT MORNING I COULD NOT OPEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. IT CLICKED TO OPEN AND LOCKED BUT THE DOOR WON'T OPEN. I HAD TO CRAWL FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE TO GO TO THE DRIVER SEAT. I WENT TO HAVE IT REPAIR BUT IT WILL COST ME $465.00. I CANNOT AFFORD IT. SO MEANWHILE, I WILL CRAWL FROM PASSENGER SIDE TO THE DRIVER SEAT. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH CAR DOORS IN MY ENTIRE SEVEN CARS I HAD. DANGEROUS AND SCARED BUT I JUST HAVE TO DO IT. I NEED A RIDE TO WORK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOORS LOCKS FAILED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO UNLOCK OR OPEN THE DOORS FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE DOOR LOCKING MECHANISM, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE FAILED - DOOR COULD NOT BE OPENED. NISSAN HAD ISSUED AN SERVICE CAMPAIGN THAT COVERED REPAIRS IF THE ISSUE HAPPENED BY 72,000 MILES. ISSUE OCCURRED AT 74,000 MILES SO REFUSED TO COVER THE COST. THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE IF I NEEDED TO ESCAPE FROM THE VEHICLE FROM THAT DOOR. DUE TO THE SAFETY ASPECT, NISSAN SHOULD BE ISSUING A RECALL FOR THE LIFETIME OF THE VEHICLE. DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE HAD STARTED TO FAIL AT TIME OF REPAIR AND HAD TO BE REPLACED ALSO. AGAIN, NISSAN REFUSED TO HONOR THE SERVICE CAMPAIGN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DOORS FAILED TO OPEN FROM THE EXTERIOR OR INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT BOTH DOOR HANDLES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

IN COLD/FREEZING TEMPERATURES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO OPEN A DOOR THE ACTUATOR CABLES BECOME DISENGAGED FROM THE DOOR HANDLE, DISABLING ACCESS TO THE CAR FROM THAT DOOR. THE DOOR IS ABLE TO BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE BUT NOT THE OUTSIDE. IN 2013 BOTH FRONT DOORS MALFUNCTIONED IN THIS WAY. IT COST $500. PER DOOR TO FIX BY GUTTING THE DOOR, REATTACHING THE CABLES AND PUTTING THE DOOR BACK TOGETHER. NO PARTS, JUST LABOR. IT HAPPENED AGAIN DECEMBER 2013. IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR NISSAN AND INFINITI. THERE HAS BEEN AN UNANNOUNCED EXTENDED WARRANTY OFFERED TO SOME CUSTOMERS, BUT WE WERE DEEMED INELIGIBLE BY NISSAN DUE TO BEING 2ND OWNERS AND MILEAGE OVER 100,000 MILES (WE BOUGHT THE CAR USED WITH 101,000 MILES). THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO POTENTIAL ACCESS PROBLEMS FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR IN THE EVENT SOMEONE IS TRAPPED INSIDE. AT PRESENT WE HAVE THREE DOORS DISABLED AND CANNOT AFFORD $1500. TO REPAIR THEM. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM AS NOW NISSAN IS REPLACING ACTUATORS AND ANOTHER PART AS PART OF THEIR LIMITED EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT ONLY TO SOME OF THOSE WHO COMPLAIN. *TR

DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR ON BOTH FRONT DOORS FROZE AFTER FREEZING RAIN/ ICE STORM. IN THE MORNING I OPENED THE DOOR AND STARTED THE CAR (DID NOT CLOSE THE DOOR) AND WENT INSIDE THE HOUSE WHILE IT WARMED-UP. WHEN I RETURNED THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE OR THE INSIDE HANDLES. THE PASSENGER DOOR HAD STOPPED WORKING FROM THE OUTSIDE HANDLE ABOUT 6 WEEKS EARLIER AFTER A SIMILAR STORM, THOUGH I WAS NOT AWARE OF THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PROBLEM TO THE WEATHER AT THE TIME. WHEN I TRIED TO OPEN THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE HANDLE ON 03/12/2014 IT WOULD NOT OPEN. I WAS NOW NOT ABLE TO ACCESS THE VEHICLE FROM EITHER FRONT DOOR. I WAS ABLE TO CLIMB IN THROUGH THE BACK SEAT, OVER THE CONSOLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF. I WAS THEN DIRECTED BY NISSAN CUSTOMER AFFAIRS TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. WHEN ACCESSING THE CAR TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP I STRAINED MY BACK AND SCRATCHED MY HAND AND ARM ON THE CONSOLE (NO DOCTORS VISIT). UPON ARRIVING AT THE DEALERSHIP IN ALBAN, NY I HAD TO CRAWL OUT OF THE CAR THROUGH THE BACK DOOR. A WOMAN PULLED UP DIRECTLY BEHIND ME WHO WAS THERE TO SERVICE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HER 2008 NISSAN ROGUE, THOUGH ONLY WITH ONE OF THE FRONT DOORS. I CALLED ALL OF THE NISSAN DEALERSHIPS IN THE AREA AND THEY WERE ALL SERVICING AT LEAST ONE 2008 NISSAN ROGUE WITH THE SAME ISSUE AFTER THE FREEZING RAIN STORM. THE PARTS WERE ORDERED FOR ME TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK FOR REPAIR. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD TAKE 2 - 3 DAYS FOR THE PARTS TO COME IN. AFTER 4 BUSINESS DAYS (6 DAYS) I WAS CALLED AND INFORMED THAT THE PARTS WERE BACK-ORDERED AND WOULD BE ANOTHER SEVERAL DAYS. THE PARTS WERE IN HIGH DEMAND REGIONALLY AFTER THE WEATHER EVENT, SHOWING THAT THIS IS A SYSTEMATIC PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE TALKED WITH CONSUMER AFFAIRS @ NISSAN AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THEY CAN'T HELP ME WITH THE REPAIRS. IF YOU GET ON NISSAN ROGUE WEBSITE, YOU WILL SEE THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I CAN'T OPEN MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. THERE ARE SOME COMMENTS THAT THEY CAN'T OPEN OUTSIDE OR INSIDE ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. I JUST WANTED SOMEONE TO KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GET KILLED BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THANKS *TR

2008 NISSAN ROGUE- BOTH FRONT DOOR HANDLES HAVE COMPLETELY FAILED AND NEITHER DOOR CAN BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN THE FRONT DOORS IS TO CLIMB IN THROUGH THE BACK DOORS AND OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. *TR

OUTSIDE PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE STOPPED WORKING. HAVE BEEN READING TONS OF COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER ROGUE OWNERS WHO ARE ALSO HAVING THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND NISSAN IS NOT HONORING THESE DEFECTS AND FIXING THEM. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. AT WHAT POINT DOES A RECALL HAVE TO BE ISSUED WHEN THIS PROBLEM IS SO INCREDIBLY PREVALENT?? WE NOW HAVE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. NOW WE'RE JUST WAITING FOR THIS TO OCCUR AT SOME POINT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AS WELL!!!! APPARENTLY THE LINKAGES WITHIN THE DOOR HANDLE MECHANISMS ARE FAULTY AND "FALL APART" IS WHAT I AM GATHERING FROM EVERYONE ELSE'S COMPLAINTS. PLEASE MAKE THIS A RECALL. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

2008 NISSAN ROGUE. I NOTICED SOME PAINT DEFECTS AND THE DEALER AGREED TO BUFF OUT. WELL THEY COULD NOT BE BUFFED OUT AND I AM NOW FINDING THEM IN OTHER PARTS OF THE CAR. INFACT THE GM OF THE DEALERS STILL HASN'T RETURNED MY CALLS. *TR

MY BAND NEW 2008 ROGUE WAS HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. MY CAR WAS NOT MOVING AND THE OTHER CAR BACKED INTO MY CAR GOING ABOUT 5 MILES PER HOUR. MY BUMPER WAS COMPLETING DENTED INWARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. MY HEADLIGHT ALSO NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME MY NEW CAR HAS BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT FOR A MINOR FENDER BENDER FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. *TR
