What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
Upon impact, the airbags failed to deploy. Additionally, the front passenger seat belt failed to lock, nearly causing the contact's daughter to strike the dashboard. The contact's daughter prevented injury by bracing against the dashboard. The vehicle was driven from the scene to the contact's residence.
The warning lights came on and the vehicle hesitated but still would not stop. I then had to swerve the best I could to the right, but my car still hit the corner of the car in front. This is the third incident with the ABS, but the only one resulting in an accident. The dashboard reads system malfunction.
I turn on the car and there is no screen and even the radio will be on playing sound at times but no screen nor do any buttons control it then suddenly comes on when driving Happened a few times but now im sure something is malfunctioning .Now My back up camera screen went black while backing out of my driveway I…
My rogue immediately caught fire from under the hood and the doors wouldn't open. The person I collided with was the only person amongst a dozen people who was brave enough and cared enough about my life to ram his body repeatedly into the rear passenger window and yanked me out of the car.
I was involved in a car accident and a minor was in the backseat driver side his seatbelt and buckled during the accident and will no longer click. The seatbelt is broken
Driver front airbag did not deploy. Driver seat airbag deployed and exploded on the back of driver causing injury. Head to head collision in an intersection. Due to the accident I got major damage in the chest and internal organs. I informed the insurance company that this is a product liability issue.
I was in blind spot collision accident on 10/4/2021 in VA on 395S at 3:30pm EST. I looked, looked again and did not see the vehicle in my blind spot and I genuinely feel that the BSW in this vehicle is not sufficient to alert a driver in those conditions in a manner that garners the drivers immediate attention.
I was in a head on collision and the airbags did not deploy. Per the police officer and tow truck driver, both stated they should have deployed.
