The driver side heat blows cold air and won't defrost properly not to mention I am old and can't survive the winters without heat. I live in upstate NY where we get tons of snow, white out conditions etc etc. Our first snowfall was 11/1/23 yesterday and I was wiping my window because I couldn't see anything and had an emergency that I had to go to and went in the other lane because I couldn't see.

I was getting ready to load groceries in the back of my 2015 Nissan Rogue as I have done many times and lifted the lift gate. I let go because the gate always stays up on it's own but this time it came crashing back down with major force and hit me in the head. I was stunned to say the least and have a huge lump on my head.

I tried to update the Navigation SD card on this 2015 Nissan Rogue through the official website (www.Navigation.com) and am told that due to technical issues this vehicles navigation cannot be updated. I feel that this is a safety issue as these maps are at least 8 years old and if followed in unknown areas can lead to accidents.

The problem is that the doors do not unlock until you press the engine stop button. Then all the doors unlock, not just the driver's door. That makes it very easy for car jackers, purse snatchers, and child abductors to wait at a gas station for you to pull up, turn off your engine so you can get out, and commit their crime when all the doors unlock.

This is not a failure at this time but more of a safety concern. The windshield of our rogue 'concave' is the area around the rearview mirror (this can be seen in the attached photo - note the distortion of the reflected image of the trees within blue circle). When you press on the inside of the glass that distorted area slight 'flexes' - suggest a weak point in the glass.
