2008 Nissan Rogue Steering Problems

While your car was parked, the horn suddenly started blaring loudly, and you noticed the instrument panel and steering wheel were on fire. The Fire Department was called and extinguished the fire, and fortunately no one was injured. This appears to be an electrical fire that may have started in the steering column or dashboard wiring.

Your air bag warning light is flashing on and off, and you're hearing a creaking noise from the steering column when you turn the wheel in either direction. The cause hasn't been determined yet, and your vehicle's VIN doesn't match two related recalls (08V521000 for air bags and 09V411000 for steering), even though you believe your car is experiencing the same issues. The fix will likely involve a dealer inspection of both the air bag system and steering column components to diagnose and repair the underlying problem.

Your 2008 Nissan Rogue has multiple open recalls that haven't been fixed by Nissan. The owner reports that these unrepaired recalls have caused the transmission to fail, making the car unsafe to drive even though the engine still runs. Nissan has stated these repairs should be completed at no charge as part of the recall work.

I bought Rogue on the 17th of Sept, 2021. 5 days later something in front on passenger side made noise and my steering wheel went to the right. Mechanic said it was rack and pinion that came loose. It was 2 miles after I got off freeway. I could have killed someone! Or myself.

MY 2008 NISSAN ROGUE STEERING WHEEL IS BECOMING TIGHT TO TURN AND MY HORN DOES NOT WORK. THERE IS A RECALL NUMBER 09V411000 STEERING-GEAR BOX SHAFT PITMAN AND THE RECALL DID'NT INCLUDE MY VEHICLE AND MY VEHICLE HAS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. THIS IS A GREAT SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF THE PINION SHAFT COME OUT OF THE STEERING GEAR IT WILL RESULT IN A COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND RISK THE CHANCES OF A CRASH INVOLVING MY SAFETY AND THE SAFTY OF OTHERS.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT THE SPEED OF 55 MILES WHEN OUT THE NO WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL LOOK FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS CAN'T TURNS LEFT OR RIGHT LIKELY THE ROAD AHEAD WAS STRAIGHT AND NOTHING BAD HAPPENS I THINK NISSAN NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KIL IT IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENS WHITH THIS CARS

THE VEHICLE STOPPED HONKING WHILE IN MOTION, AND WHEN TAKEN TO A SERVICE CENTER, WE WERE ADVISED THAT THE COIL THAT CONTROLS THE ELECTRIC PANEL STOPPED WORKING. AT THE MOMENT, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HONK, CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK, AND THE ELECTRIC DASHBOARD TURNS ON AND OFF RANDOMLY WHILE IN MOVEMENT. RECALL NUMBER 09V-411

I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND I NOTICED THAT MY STEERING WHEEL JERKED SLIGHTLY THEN THE PS LIGHT CAME ON AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HAD HAPPENED UNTIL I HAD TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. AFTER THAT I DROVE IT TO THE CLOSEST PLACE TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT AND THIS OPERATION PRINTED ME OUT A REPORT CALLED NHTSA CAMPAIGN AND TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO THE ST. CHARLES NISSAN DEALER. ON MY WAY THERE THE PS LIGHT WAS OFF AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT THERE WITH NO ISSUES. THE EMPLOYEE AT NISSAN THAT HELPED ME SAID HE WAS ABLE TO LOOK AT IT AND TOLD ME THERE WASN'T ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE POWER STEERING. HE CALLED IT A GLITCH. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE FROM THE DEALER BACK TO WORK WITH NO PROBLEMS. AFTER WORK THE PS LIGHT CAME BACK ON WHEN I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. I WENT TO MY FRIENDS HOUSE TO PICK UP MY SON AND I STAYED FOR A FEW HOURS. WHEN I GOT BACK IN MY CAR THE PS LIGHT WAS OFF AND REMAINED OFF UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING RIGHT WHEN I PULLED INTO THE DRIVEWAY AT WORK. IT HAS REMAINED ON SINCE THEN AND HAS NOT TURNED OFF. THE CAMPAIGN STATES THAT IT'S FOR NISSAN ROGUE'S 2008-2009 VEHICLES BUT WHEN THE DEALER PUT IN MY VIN IT DID NOT SHOW UP FOR MY MODEL, HOWEVER THE MODELS THAT IT DOES SHOW UP FOR IS THE SAME VEHICLE AS MINE WITH THE SAME POWER STEERING ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE NISSAN TO TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR COVERING ALL PARTS AND LABOR TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. *TR

ON THE EARLY MORNING OF 12/31/09, THE CAR I WAS DRIVING IS A NISSAN ROGUE 2008.I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN FROM BRADDOCK RD TO DANBURY FOREST DR, I LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL. IT KEPT GOING AROUND AND FORTUNATELY, THE CARS COMING FROM THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD WERE ABLE TO USE THEIR BRAKES AND AVOID A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. AT THAT TIME I THOUGHT IT WAS AN ICE ON THE GROUND. LATER ON, 01/01/10, DRIVING ON ROUTE 50 AND MAKING A LEFT TURN ONTO ANNANDALE RD. ONCE AGAIN, I LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL. I TRIED TO MAKE A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL I TRIED TO TAKE THE CAR OFF OF THE ROAD TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. AT THAT TIME, THE CARS WERE PASSING BY. ON FRIDAY EARLY MORNING, THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE SHEEHY NISSAN DEALER WHICH IS LOCATED AT 6727 LOISDALE RD. SPRINGFIELD, VA. 22150. ON SATURDAY MORNING, I WENT TO REPORT THE INCIDENT. LATER ON OF THE SAME DAY, THE MECHANIC CALLED TO INFORMED THAT A PART OF THE STEERING WAS BROKEN AND THEY WILL BE ORDERING AND FIX IT BY WEDNESDAY. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS CAR. IT IS NEW AND MANY PARTS OF IT ARE CONTINUALLY FALLING . IF I'M ALIVE IT IS NOT BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY OF THE CAR. IT IS A MIRACLE. THIS TWO INCIDENTS, ARE NOT THE FIRST WITH THIS TYPE OF CAR. APPROXIMATELY, TWO MONTHS AGO, I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE SHIFT STICK GOT STUCK AND IT STARTER MAKING A LOUD NOISE EVERY TIME I WAITED TO TURN EITHER SIDE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE SAME DEALER AND THE MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WAS A BOOT FROM THE SHIFT STICK THAT GOT LOOSE. I'M REPORTING THIS INCIDENT BECAUSE KNOW I REALIZED THAT DRIVING A NISSAN ROGUE IS DRIVING STRAIGHT TO THE GRAVE. NOT BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL YOUR CAR ON THE HIGHWAYS OR THE STREETS, IT TURNS INTO A KILLER MACHINERY NOT JUST FOR THE DRIVER, BUT ALSO FOR THE COMMUNITY. IT IS A CAR THAT IS CONSTANTLY BRAKING PIECES OR FALLING IN PARTS. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE REMOVED FROM THE STREETS. *TR
