My rear lift gate does not stay in the up position when I open it. It comes crashing down on my head and it’s hit me in the head several times as the lift gate comes down so quickly and abruptly. It’s hit others as well and has hurt them. When the full weight of the lift gate comes down it’s heavy and it hurts. It’s not safe to open anymore. There was a recall issued by the NHTSA placed on the 2016 Rogue for the rear lift gate not staying open due to corrosive parts. Unfortunately my rogue was not included in the recall. My car was purchased in July and the recall was up to January 2016. I called Nissan and because I am out of warranty they will not evaluate at their cost or fix it if it’s the same issue as the recall. I have not had it evaluated as I wanted to reach out to the NHTSA first. There were no warning lights to alert me to this issue. One day it just happened coming down hard and striking me in the head. I was really hurt. I had a headache for the entire day and small bump on the back of my head. It was not serious enough to see a doctor but doesn’t change the fact that I got hurt I am very nervous that the next time I open it it won’t stop about halfway and the full weight of the lift gate will come crashing down on me or someone else and cause serious injury. Please consider adding my VIN number to the recall. It should included so that it can be evaluated at Nissan’s expense and fixed.

Everything in the vehicle shakes violently. The seats and the hood most noticeably shake. I've stopped before to check that it was latched out of fear of the hood opening while I'm driving.

On 2/7/16, I was pulling into my parking space at work. My foot was on the brake as I was coming to a stop in my space. All of a sudden, the engine revved loudly, and the car lunged forward, jumped the curb and slammed into the office building!!!!

The front hood latch seems to be loose and the hood vibrates a lot on the interstate. I am afraid that it is going to open while travelling at high speeds on the freeway.

Driving the vehicle, the hood of the nissan rogue is latched but the actual hood will move (flap) when driving over 45-50 MPH. This started the same day the vehicle was purchased but was not able to get it in because of wait time at the location.
