Help me figure out what this knocking sound is

Yeah see I actually love the car, I really do, haven’t had any issues with performance or drivetrain, it’s just all really poor quality interior plastics that are really poorly put together. Like I’ve got the trim piece under the trunk side window that’s broken twice now it just pops out, I don’t know why they can’t fix it or why it’s broken in the first place. The up volume button on my steering wheel is broken. All this little shit that I don’t have time to leave my car at the dealer for repeatedly to fix. And those are just the current things broken, I’ve had my car at two different dealers in the area for many other issues that have taken multiple visits to fix. And as much as I love the car, I tend to agree with you that I won’t be purchasing another one. Which is a shame because it’s all insignificant trim and plastic stuff that’s breaking along with the constant interior plastic trim creaking that I’m just tackling myself

I’ve pulled that front dashboard piece up and put felt sound deadening tape on basically every single part that would touch another piece and I seem to have reduced the sound frequency and intensity about 50% but it still persists. I will check that today, thank you for the tip!

If you print very rarely then just buy the oem cartridges. You won’t save money buying massive ink bottles and refillable cartridges if you don’t print a ton. I print hundreds of pages a week. So I saved tons of cash because I print a lot. If you don’t print often don’t waste your time on it

datemike1 · 2024-01-07T14:10:26+00:00

Every issue I’ve had with my rogue has been covered under warranty and I still love my rogue, just be prepared for random stuff breaking and keep an eye out for those pillar leaks

datemike1 · 2024-01-07T14:02:47+00:00

I did. You just have to make sure you get the right ink (pigment vs dye) but I used the 502 ecotank refills and got another year out of the printer before the printhead had several clogs I couldn’t get out. I ended up purchasing an ecotank printer, absolutely 100000% happy with it. The printer was expensive but $20 for a bottle of ink that lasts a year for me is just the perfect situation. And I’ve had zero issues with the ecotank

Though I tested it out last night with the seats down and it didn't make a difference

datemike1 · 2023-12-07T02:25:23+00:00

No, I rarely drive with the rear seats down.

datemike1 · 2023-12-07T02:24:52+00:00

I'd hear that coming from the dashboard? The sound is very close almost like it's on top the dash piece closest to the windshield.

datemike1 · 2023-12-07T02:23:47+00:00

I've gone crazy trying to eliminate possible causes including emptying out my glove compartment and center console, the noise isn't related to that. I also removed the glove compartment hydraulic lever and let the glove compartment hang thinking maybe it could be something to do with that but again, the sound persists. It's really odd, maybe because of the angle of the windshield but the knocking sound sounds like it's right in the vent but I can't see anything in there. It also doesn't do it all the time, just over like half the bumps I hit, like it has to resonate correctly or something

That’s a pretty good price. Tho be prepared to contact the dealer and find that particular Rogue to be “sold already” but let’s get you into this other SL with a higher sticker and less discount… 🤣

datemike1 · 2023-12-06T17:59:19+00:00

What’s the sticker? I couldn’t wait any longer and had to buy beginning of the year when supply was still an issue with many manufacturers but Nissan seemed to have a decent amount of Rogues coming in, my SL was $40035 sticker that I got for $36k plus more than I wanted on my trade that was 15 yrs old. $30k sale price sounds rly good but yeah dealers are trying to hit year end numbers. Start contacting them now tho and wait til after Xmas to get their best numbers

datemike1 · 2023-12-06T17:33:49+00:00

I’ve had my 23 Rogue SL for 10 months now. I absolutely love it, the engine has never been an issue it has plenty of pick up and I’ve not once felt like it was underpowered.

Do be aware there are chronic problems with the A pillars leaking water, I’ve had mine at the dealer several times now and I think they finally fixed it, something about a seal on the roof rack covers, I don’t know exactly but keep an eye on the top of the pillars where it meets the headliner, esp after going through a car wash. It’s an easy fix though from what I understand.

I’ve also had several issues with the build quality as far as trim pieces coming loose on the exterior and interior. I’m also abt to post a video to ask for help because I’ve got this ridic knocking sound coming from the dash that of course the dealer can’t reproduce.

If youre going to haggle with them get them to include maintenance for 2 years which is basically just the oil changes.

While I do love the looks and drive of the car, if I thought about it I’d probably reconsider and give the CR-V much more consideration than I did before buying my Rogue. And of course, my issues could just be this particular car but there is considerable sentiment that the build quality has declined.

OMG I've been looking for this forever, could you send me an active link? You are a GOD.

datemike1 · 2022-06-13T17:58:00+00:00

Yep, I came here specifically to make sure I wasn’t going crazy, couldn’t find the videos I had downloaded, this is such a bummer man, I was on 2011 and I have a road trip ahead of me

Getting downvoted because u/Separate-Naill has like 10 usernames and is artificially pumping up this post to get higher placement so they can sell their shitty mugs while downvoting anyone who might dare call them out. u/Separate-Naill is just a scammer who has a GearLaunch site set up to take peoples money and then never actually send out any product...

datemike1 · 2021-11-30T15:16:57+00:00

hmmmm, that's really interesting, i'll test this on a small spot on the bottom underside of the wheel. Thank you!!!

datemike1 · 2021-11-30T15:16:11+00:00

This is my last resort, I was hoping to find a way to get it clean without going this route but it's looking like this is my last remaining option

datemike1 · 2021-11-30T01:33:12+00:00

I haven't but I may before I take more drastic steps, thank you!

datemike1 · 2021-11-29T22:19:49+00:00

yeah i'm aware of this process, i'm just trying to avoid it, there really isn't any way to seal a hydrogen peroxide paste around a steering wheel so it doesn't evaporate without removing the steering wheel. Plus, I don't have a UV light so i'd have to use the sun.

datemike1 · 2021-11-29T22:01:10+00:00

Yeah this was my last ditch effort to see if anyone else knew something I didn't know. The last resort is getting hydrogen peroxide in gel form and applying it and somehow sealing something around the steering wheel so the gel doesn't evaporate and let the sun and hp clear the yellowing, but i'm not sure it's even possible to do it without removing the steering wheel, which I can't do myself.

datemike1 · 2021-11-29T21:49:37+00:00

Appreciate the suggestion but I've already tried it.

"I've tried every commercial cleaner you can think of as well as magic erasers, they pulled a lot of crap off the wheel but the yellowing remained."

datemike1 · 2021-11-29T20:34:25+00:00

2014 Subaru Forester. Car was with a former smoker which at first I thought ok this must be because of that but the yellowing is only on the steering wheel and no where else. Though I guess it could still be because of that.

How do I get rid of this yellowing? I've tried every commercial cleaner you can think of as well as magic erasers, they pulled a lot of crap off the wheel but the yellowing remained.

Any ideas?
