2014 Nissan Rogue Body & Structure Problems

Water is leaking into your car through the sunroof and around the windows, dripping onto your gear shift and seats when it rains. Mold has developed inside the sunroof area and on the roof, causing wet interiors and musty odors. The repair will likely involve inspecting and resealing the sunroof gaskets and window seals, and possibly replacing weatherstripping to prevent water intrusion.

Your power liftgate opens completely but then falls back down partway on its own. This means the liftgate doesn't stay in the open position as it should. The fix would likely involve servicing or replacing the hydraulic struts or support cylinders that hold the liftgate up.

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that there was mold and water damage odor inside the vehicle. The contact discovered that the front driver's side floorboard was significantly soaked. The contact stated that she placed towels on the floorboard to prevent water damage. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the driver's side floorboard was removed and replaced. The dealer advised the contact to purchase door seals for the front driver's side door to prevent water from leaking inside the vehicle. The contact installed the seals on the driver's side door; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 91,000.

Water is entering the vehicle thru a body seam that is causing the wire harness to corrode. These vehicles have had this problem since they rolled off the assembly line and Nissan knows this. On November 14, 2014 Nissan put out this service bulletin detailing how to diagnose and fix the Rogue that was brought in for service due to the carpet being wet on the driver and/or front passenger floor. It seems that when the vehicle was assembled, some body seams were not sealed correctly or not at all. In my opinion this is why the wire harness is getting wet causing it to corrode. Instead of recalling the vehicle for the real issue of water getting into the vehicle and fixing that problem, they are recalling the vehicle for the problem the water is causing. In my opinion the water entering the vehicle is the cause of the recall and should be addressed appropiately and not just by inspecting the wire harness for corrosion and applying their bandaid to the solution. Below you will find information related to the service bulletin I am referring too.
