| On dec 12, 2011 at 0500 am my 2009 2008 nissan rogue had a keyless entry rollaway. the car was turned off and rolled away causing car and property damage (damage to the car door) after turning off my engine i left the car, leaving the car door open and the car rolled away. i believe that this is a major design flaw of keyless entry cars and that it is the responsibility of both the ntsb and nissan to personally notify people of this major design flaw and to provide corrective action to avoid repeated accidents. some sort of fix such as an automatic lock should prevent the vehicle from leaving rolling away when the car engine is turned off. in reviewing the info available from ntsb i noted that this is a design flaw that has been noted in similar cases involving rollaway accidents and that both industry has not taken corrective action. | |||

| Recently i have noticed that when i fill up my 2008 nissan rogue that the gas gauge does not read full. contacting 2 dealers i was told there is no issue they know of. upon checking on the internet i find there are many complaints, in all year rogues, and a couple other nissan models. nissan has to know about it. some say theirs stay 1/4 of a tank down, while the majority say an 1/8 of a tank. this false reading could result in people being stranded in desolate places, thereby threatening ones health; or an entire family's health, i know a gentleman who bought a 2011, has less than 5,000 miles on it, and his already has the same issue. this has to be a nissan issue, as i see on no other auto makes on line. do you have any data on this? thank you. | |||

| My wife and i leased a 2008 nissan rouge two years ago. an issue has since transpired. in october of 2009 we noticed that the passanger airbag light occassionally goes on regardless of the size of the person sitting there. this light indicates that the airbag is off. we took it to nissan and they could not duplicate the problem. over this last year the issue continues to arise. i decided to take the vehicle in this past monday with a routine check. prior to my dropping the vehicle off i decided to record it on my phone as we were driving seeing as though i could not bring the car to the dealership as soon as it was happening. after the car was there for a few hours, i got a call back saying that there is nothing wrong with the car and they are ready to release. i am still not comfortable driving the vehicle so i left it there and call customer affairs. finally after 4 days, they returned my call. they indicated that they spoke to the shop and are not authorizing any repairs or paying for the rental vehicle as they could not duplicate the problem. they are refusing to fix this issue and are saying that my 125 lb wife may be too light to activate the bag sensor. | |||
