2009 NISSAN ROGUE Power Train Problems

The automatic transmission CVT is jerking when accelerating and it is a problem when in traffic. This could cause an accident. It is a risk to use. No other vehicle and have to work. I will continue to use it. Took it to AAMCO and repairs are over $5000.00 and can't afford it. New transmission or repair the one on the vehicle.

I contacted Nissan July 2018 and was told there were no reports of the issue I was having... Unfortunately what I've experienced seems to be common. I occasionally work as a self employed artist and on long trips my Rogue will refuse to speed up. It doesn't matter how hard I press the gas pedal. It's like something isn't connecting. Nissan said they couldn't find any reports of this happening but I see many complaints. The suv refuses to go over 20mph, sometimes even lower. This issue has put my life at risk many times and I'm wondering what it will take for something to change!? It happened going uphill multiple times and seems to happen when traffic is at a stop and go. The only recall issue I saw had to do with snow and salt getting in somewhere. This seems to happen when it's warmer outside.

The contact owns a 2009 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving up an incline at various speeds, the stalled while depressing the accelerator. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle shuddered without warning. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the rotor was replaced on the passenger’s side front however, the failure persisted. The contact was referred by another mechanic to an authorized dealer to schedule an appointment for the vehicle to be diagnosed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. GREENWAY NISSAN OF JACKSONVILLE, 1726 CASSAT AVE, JACKSONVILLE, FL 32210, (904) 779-3502, WAS CONTACTED BY PHONE AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED NOR INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 139,000.

REAR DIFFERENTIAL WENT OUT. GRINDING THE TEETH AND CRACKING ITS CASING INTO TWO PIECES

Mileage: 110,461

ONCE THE VEHILCE IS WARMED, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE FROM A STOP. WITH THE ACCELERATER PEDAL HELD DOWN IN ABOUT 15 SECONDS THE RPM WILL RISE AND THE VEHICLE WILL KICK INTO GEAR AND BEGIN TO ACCELERATE.

Mileage: 100,099

ONCE THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN CONTINUALLY FOR AT LEAST 45 MINUTES OR MORE THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMES AND THE CAR LOSES PRESSURE AND STARTS MAKING A WHINING NOISE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY.

Mileage: 129,000

RECALL -HARNESS CONNECTOR (TORQUE CONVERTED SOLENOID CIRCUIT INTERMITTENT) PREVIOUS RECALL WASN'T COMPLETED PROPERLY AS I CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE INTERMITTENT ERRATIC BEHAVIOR OF THE POWER TRAIN AND RELATED CIRCUITRY, TWO WEEKS AFTER THE MANUFACTURER SAID THEY FIXED THE HARNESS CONNECTOR INSPECT AND REPLACE RECALL (ROGUE CONNECT) THAT WAS PLACE ON THE CAR. THE CAR JERKS UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY OR HESITATES AT STOP THEN TAKES OFF SUDDENLY AT HIGH SPEED. I LIKE FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO LOOK INTO THIS AND PROPERLY ADDRESS THIS RECALL BY FIXING THIS ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE THEY BUILT WHICH I STILL CURRENT DRIVE. A DIAGNOSTIC SCAN WAS DONE AT AUTOZONE AND I WAS TOLD THE TORQUE CONVERTER SOLENOID CIRCUITS ARE INTERMITTENT AND THAT IT'S DUE TO A DAMAGED TRANSMISSION WIRING HARNESS THAT IS EITHER LOOSE OR OPEN CIRCUIT IN THE SYSTEM AND MAY CAUSE A FIRE.

Mileage: 167,800

I HAVE A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE WITH 106742 MILES,I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS.THE DEALER IS TELLING ME THAT THE GUARRANTY COVERS ONLY IF THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED,WHEN I READ THE GUARRANTY COVERS REPAIRS,REPLACEMENT AND EVEN TOWING.THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR THE PARTS IN THE REPAIR OF THE TRANSMISSION.THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY.

Mileage: 106,742

REPAIR AND REPLACE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION AND COMPUTER SYSTEM

CAR DECELERATES ON ITS OWN. WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND ON SMALL ROADS, THE CAR WILL SLOW AND EVEN WHEN ACCELERATOR IS PUSHED THE RPMS WILL NOT INCREASE OVER 3000 AND THE ENGINE DOES NOT REV AND THE VEHICLE LOSES ACCELERATION. THIS IS A VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE IN ORDER TO PULL OVER TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC. ALL FLUIDS ARE MAINTAINED. THE VEHICLE IS PROPERLY SERVICED.

Mileage: 106,000

LOOSES POWER UPON DRIVING NO EXCELLERATION AND IT WONT GO IT'S LIKE THE THROTTLE PETAL ISN'T EVEN THERE WHEN YOU START OUT IT DRIVES GREAT BUT WITHIN 20/30 MILES IT'S LIKE THE CAR TAKES OVER AND IT JUST WON'T GO' WE DO REGULAR SERVICE AND WE HAVE DONE TRANSMISSION SERVICES CVT FLUID AND FILTER THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE

Mileage: 162,000

LOSS OF POWER AND JUDDERING (SHAKING) OF VEHICLE OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE ACCELERATING, DRIVING UP HILLS, DRIVING FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME (OVER 1 HOUR), OR WHEN THE AIR TEMPERATURE WAS OVER 80 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT, ALL WHILE ACCELERATOR WAS DEPRESSED. WHEN I TRIED TO FLOOR THE ACCELERATOR, THE RPM'S INCREASED BUT THE CVT DID NOT ENGAGE. HAD TO REMOVE FOOT FROM ACCELERATOR THEN REAPPLY, EVENTUALLY AFTER THE CAR SLOWED EVEN FURTHER, THE CVT RE-ENGAGED. WORST ISSUE HAPPENED WHILE ON THE I90 INTERSTATE, ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE AND CAR LOST POWER AND JUDDERED ALMOST CAUSING A COLLISION WITH VEHICLE BEHIND ME. TOOK VEHICLE INTO DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR THIS ISSUE, FIRST TIME THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT REPLICATE ISSUE. TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK INTO THE DEALERSHIP WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM ORIGINAL ISSUE AND DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED ISSUE AND SAID NEW TRANSMISSION WAS NEEDED. HOWEVER, NOT COVERED UNDER NISSAN EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE THERE WERE NOT HARD FAULT CODES. CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS ON IN JULY 2018 WHO SAID MY VIN IS NOT PART OF ANY UPDATES/RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE AND WOULD NOT COVER REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF TRANSMISSION.

Mileage: 119,900

DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE ENGINE REVED TO HIGH RPMS AND LOST POWER. THERE WERE TWO BABIES IN THE CAR. WE WERE IN THE CARPOOL LANE AND WITH NO POWER WE HAD TO CROSS 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC AND WAIT ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY WITH BABIES FOR TOW TRUCK. WAS TOWED TO A FRIENDS AUTO SHOP WHERE WE WERE TOLD ABOUT NUMEROUS KNOWN ISSUES WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION.

Mileage: 100,000

CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE OR RESPOND TO GAS PEDAL ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME OR UPHILL. WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED THE VEHICLE WILL JUDDER AND LOOSE SPEED. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP IN 2016 FOR CVT OIL COOLER RECALL AT 93,063 MILES. BROUGHT VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP WITH LOSS OF ACCELERATION AT 119,931; HOWEVER, NO HARD CODES TO DIAGNOSIS ISSUE, SENT ON MY WAY, WITH A DIAGNOSIS OF BAD WHEEL BEARING. RETURNED LESS THAN A MONTH LATER WITH UNRESOLVED ISSUE (LOSS OF ACCELERATION) AT 121,075 MILES. DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAR NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION AND WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, 1,075 MILES OVER WARRANTY.

Mileage: 119,870

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE UP HILLS OR DURING HOT DAYS, THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY IGNORE THE GAS PEDAL AND SLOW DOWN. THIS BECOMES TREACHEROUS ON LONG DRIVES THAT INVOLVE GOING OVER HILLS OR MOUNTAINS AS THEY CAR WILL SLOW TO UNDER 40MPH AND WILL NOT RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL. AFTER BRINGING MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY STATED THERE IS AN ECM RECALL. THEY CHANGED OUT THE PART, BUT THE ISSUE WHEN DRIVING STILL OCCURRED. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM (SEE NTB14-002), HOWEVER THE ISSUE IS NOT CONSIDERED A RECALL AND IS LABELED AS A CUSTOMER EXPENSE FOR THOSE OUTSIDE THE 60,000 MILE WARRANTY AND OPTIONAL UPGRADE. THIS IS A SERIOUS FLAW FOR ANY ROGUE OWNERS, AND IS A SAFETY RISK WHILE DRIVING. NISSAN SHOULD REPLACE THE FLAWED COOLING SYSTEMS AT THEIR EXPENSE, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE DEFECT WAS NOT DETECTED UNTIL 11/25/2015.

Mileage: 70,000

WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR SUDDENLY LOSES ALL ACCELERATION. EVEN WITH THE ACCELERATOR COMPLETELY DEPRESSED, THE CAR JUST STOPS. RPMS WON'T GO ABOVE 2500, AND MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE HAD TO MAKE SEVERAL EMERGENCY STOPS ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, SOMETIMES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, AND REQUIRING US TO CUT ACROSS MULTIPLE LANES.

Mileage: 125,000

DRIVING UP A HILL ON HIGHWAY ROUTE 80 WEST AT 65 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN SPEED STARTED TO DECREASE I PRESSED DOWN FULLY ON GAS WITH NO RESPONSE TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP SPEED CONTINUED TO DECLINE TO 55 MPH WITH TRAFFIC FLYING BY ME HONKING HORNS ETC I PUT HAZARDS ON AND CONTINUED TO PRESS GAS WITH NO RESPONSE WAS ABLE TO GET UP HILL AND SPEED AND TRANSMISSION RETURNED TO NORMAL. VERY HAZARDOUS FOR THIS TO OCCUR WITH KIDS IN THE CAR AS WELL.

Mileage: 92,450

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC IN MAY OF 2017. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND SUGGESTED TAKING THE VEHICLE TO ONE OF THEIR FACILITIES FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 159,000.

Mileage: 159,000

INTERMITTENT ACCELERATION & DECELERATION WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, PUTTING IN DRIVE OR REVERSE HAS EXTREME LOSS OF ACCELERATION WITH ENGINE RPM GOING WELL ABOVE THE NEEDED RPM (3000-4000) TO MOVE THE VEHICLE FORWARD.

Mileage: 122,000

CVT LOST POWER ON HIGHWAY WITHOUT NOTICE AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE

Mileage: 150,000

I PURCHASED VEHICLE NEW FROM DEALER. AT APPROX 83,000 MILES I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP W/ PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS I WAS ALMOST IN A CAR ACCIDENT BECAUSE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND I WAS INFORMED THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION. DEALER REPLACED TRANSMISSION. NOW AT 115,000 MILES I EXPERIENCED THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM, EXCEPT NOW THE CAR SHAKES WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE. I AM UNABLE TO REVERSE OR ACCELERATE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSION EXPIRES AT 90,000 EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION. NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND FIX THIS!!

Mileage: 115,000

1. FAILURE TO ACCELERATE AND SHAKING/STALLING LIKE BEHAVIOR. WHILE ENTERING INTERSECTION, CAR FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND CONTINUED TO FAIL TO ACCELERATE AS I DROVE THE CAR THE TWO MILES TO WORK. I THOUGHT MAYBE I DIDN'T STEP ON THE ACC. ALL THE WAY THE FIRST TIME I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A CAR, BUT REALIZED IT CONTINUED TO CRAWL ALONG UNTIL I GOT TO SPEEDS OVER 20MPH. I WAS ALMOST HIT SEVERAL TIMES (A MINIMUM OF THREE TO INCLUDE T BONED AND REAR END TYPE COLLISIONS DURING THE TWO MILE DRIVE). GOT CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND DEALERSHIP NOTIFIED ME THAT IT WAS NOT THE TRANSMISSION BUT IT WAS A FAULTY SENSOR SWITCH THAT TOLD THE CAR I WAS BRAKING ALTHOUGH I WAS ACCELERATING. DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO RETURN CAR TO ME UNTIL I HAD SENSOR REPLACED DUE TO SAFETY HAZARD. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OF THESE ISSUES. ADDITIONALLY, SEVERAL OF THESE ISSUES EXIST NATIONWIDE AS NOTED BY NUMEROUS ONLINE COMPLAINTS. 121000MILES. DISCUSSED IF IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION, NISSAN WAS GOING TO SEE IF THEY WOULD HELP WITH COSTS SINCE IT WAS RIGHT OUTSIDE OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 120K MILES FOR KNOWN TRANSMISSION ISSUE (WHICH I HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF). NISSAN DEEMED IT WAS NOT THE TRANSMISSION, HOWEVER, COULD NOT SAY WHAT CAUSED THE SHAKING. 2. CAR STILL STUTTERED, BUT THE DRAG WAS GONE AFTER REPLACING SENSOR FOR TWO MONTHS. DRAG IS BACK AND CAR STILL SHUTTERS. WAS TOLD BY A DIFFERENT PLACE THAT MY TRANSMISSION IS SHOT. 124700 MILES. IT SHUTTERS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL IN TRAFFIC WHEN SLOWING DOWN, IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, AND A LOWER SPEEDS.

Mileage: 121,000

VEHICLE LOSES POWER, HESITATES, AND LACKS ACCELERATION, ALL TO THE POINT OF BEING UNSAFE WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. I OFTEN CANNOT MAKE IT UP HILLS AND CANNOT PASS CARS ON HIGHWAYS I'VE ALREADY HAD THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION AND TRANSFER CASE REPLACED (IN JANUARY OF 2015), AND NOW REQUIRE A NEW TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. THE INITIAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE CAME AT APPROXIMATELY 74,000 MILES. I PURCHASED THE CAR WITH APPROXIMATELY 54.5K MILES ON IT.

Mileage: 74,000

WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION DRIVING FOR A PERIOD OF 30 MINUTES OR LONGER OR GOING UP A HILL THE ACCELERATION STOPS AND THE CAR WILL SLOW DOWN NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU PRESS ON THE GAS PAEDAL. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED IT HEATING UP ACCORDING TO THE TEMPETURE BUT THE CAR DOES SMELL LIKE BURNT. I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND LET IT COOL TO DRIVE AGAIN, BUT THE ISSUE WILL CONTINUE IF I DRIVE MORE THAN 30 MINUTES OR UP A HILL.

Mileage: 81,000

GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE GOING 65 MPH AND WE LOST ALL POWER COULDNT GO OVER 30 MPHWE HAD TO PULL OVER AND WAIT THEN WE FINALLY GOT MOVING AGAIN THE POWER LOSS KEPT HAPPENING NOW MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND THEY 1100 TO FIX THE PROBLEM NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT WON'T RECALL IT

CVT ENTERS LIMP MODE AFTER 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING 65+ MILES PER HOUR. I LOSE A LOT OF POWER WHEN THAT HAPPENS CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO BE UNABLE TO ACCELERATE OR GO OVER 3K RPMS.

AFTER DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS FOR A WHILE I LOOSE ACCELERATION. AND WHEN I COME TO A STOP THE CAR WILL NOT GO FOR LIKE 5 SECONDS AFTER I STEP ON THE GAS.

Mileage: 138,000

WAS DRIVING ON HWY & STARTED LOSING POWER UP HILLS. CALLED DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT & THEY SAID TRANSMISSION ISSUE. HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO & THE VALVE BODY & COOLING SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED THIS TIME. THERE ISN'T A BIG ENOUGH COOLING SYSTEM FOR THE TRANSM & NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE. WERE 3 OTHER ROGUE'S GETTING REPAIRED FOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES AT THE SAME TIME. ISSUE OFTEN ARRIVES SOON AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRES. DEALERSHIP SVC DEPT INDICATED THAT IT HAPPENS OFTEN AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

Mileage: 128,000

VEHICLE GOING UP HILL WILL LOOSE POWER, CVT TRANSMISSION DOES THIS RANDOMLY WHEN GOING UP ANY HILL. I AM GOING TO DIE TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING CARS BEHIND ME. I AM AFRAID TO GO ANYWHERE THAT HAS AN UPHILL GRADE ON ANY ROAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,054.

STOP FOR GROCERIES AND WHEN I GET BACK IN THE CAR I FELT THE RIDE KIND A FUNNY, I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR WITH NO RESPONSE, CAR DIDNT GO MORE THAN 30 MILES AN HOUR, TOOK ME 1 HOUR TO GET BACK BECAUSE I COULDT GET IN THE HIGHWAY HAD TO DRIVE IN LOCAL STREETS

THE NISSAN ROGUE HAD A CVT TRANSMISSION REPLACED BY THE DEALER AFTER IT STOPPED RUNNING ON THE HIGHWAY IN 2013 WITH ONLY 70,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AGAIN, 2 YEARS LATER, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AGAIN. NISSAN FAILED TO DO ANYTHING TO ASSIST ME THE SECOND TIME WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE FREEWAY BOTH TIMES. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY ISSUES WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. *TR

Mileage: 120,500

MY NISSAN ROGUE WILL PERIODICALLY STOP ACCELERATION WHILE I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE THE PEDAL PUSHED ALL THE WAY DOWN AND THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE. I WILL BE GOING THE POSTED SPEED AND FOR NO APPARENT REASON, MY CAR WILL START TO DE-ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN. AFTER READING SEVERAL COMPLAINTS I AM FINDING OUT THAT THIS IS DUE TO THE CVT TRANSMISSION IN THIS PARTICULAR MODEL. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO ANYONE WHO IS DRIVING THIS CAR. ALSO, I HAVE NOTICED A LOUD NOISE WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN GEAR, WHICH I AM READING IS A SIGN THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT. I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS VEHICLE BUT NONE OF THE REPAIRS THAT I HAVE LISTED ARE COVERED. THIS CAR IS A PIECE OF JUNK AND I WILL NOT GET ANYTHING FOR IT UPON TRADE-IN. I AM STUCK WITH THIS CAR, AND HAVE PUT OVER $3,000 IN THIS CAR ALREADY OVER THE LAST 6 MONTHS. *TR

Mileage: 165,000

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR WOULD START SHAKING AND MAKING FUNNY NOISES IN THE BACK. THE CAR EVENTUALLY WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND STARTED SMOKING. TOOK IT THE DEALER WAS INFORMED IT HAD A BROKEN AXLE AND ALSO HAS COUPLER ISSUE. I HAD THE AXLE REPLACED. BUT IT STILL SHAKES AND MAKES NOISES WHEN TURNS ARE MADE. I WAS INFORMED BY A NISSAN MECHANIC THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THE ROGUE.

Mileage: 71,999

LOOSES POWER AND SLOWS IN FREEWAY TRAFFIC. IF I HAD KNOWN I COULD SEND MY COMPLAINT TO YOU, I WOULD HAVE DONE SO A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WHEN I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO NISSAN USA . WHAT A JOKE THIS AUTO IS! AND WHAT A JOKE NISSAN IS!

I BOUGHT THE CAR USED, TO GET TO WORK AND THE MANY DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT THAT I CURRENTLY HAVE (I AM BREAST CANCER SURVIVOR WITH A LOT OF SIDE EFFECTS). WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING LOCALLY WHEN I PUSHED ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR DIDN'T ACCELERATE. IT HAPPENED JUST FOR A MOMENT AND THE CAR DROVE FINE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME SO I HOPED IT WAS ONE TIME THING. A DAY OR TWO LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN, TELLING ME THAT THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WASN'T RANDOM. THAT'S WHEN I RESEARCHED THE SYMPTOMS AND SAW I WASN'T ALONE. THAT'S WHEN I ALSO LEARNED THAT NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY. I FOUND OUT I WAS OVER THE MILEAGE, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY I BALKED BECAUSE I KNEW OF THE MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE/HAD THIS PROBLEM AND I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A MECHANICALLY DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION. IN THE MEANTIME I'M GENTLY DRIVING THE VEHICLE: SHORT TRIPS, NO HIGHWAYS AND 40 MPH OR LESS. IF WHAT I READ IS TRUE AND THE LOSS OF ACCELERATION (WHICH HAPPENED A THIRD TIME WITHIN JULY) IS THE CAR GOING INTO SAFE MODE THEN I'LL DO WHAT I CAN TO AVOID AGGRAVATING THE VEHICLE UNTIL I TAKE IT IN FOR THE NEW TRANNY COOLER. I REALLY HOPE THIS RESOLVES MY PROBLEM. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ON THE CVT I FOUND OUT THAT THEY ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR ISSUES AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WENT INTO PLACE. OF COURSE I AM OVER BY 30,000 BUT I SAW THAT IF YOU ARE OVER YOU SHOULD STILL CONTACT NISSAN. I DID AND STARTED A CLAIM GOT A CALL BACK FROM THE MIDWEST CORPORATE GAY WHO TOLD ME TOO BAD WE CAN NOT HELP. I NEED HELP

CVT CONTINUES TO FAIL. IT WAS REPLACED AT 73K MILES AFTER FAILING; IT NOW IS GOING INTO FAIL SAFE MODE DUE TO OVERHEATING ISSUES. THIS SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON ROGUE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THE 100K WARRANTY WOULD BE FOR THE REPLACEMENT CVT BUT AM NOW BEING TOLD BY DEALER THAT REPAIRS WERE 12K OR 12 MONTHS. CVT IS SHOWING SIGNS OF POOR SHIFTING AND POWER LOSS ON HILLS. FREQUENTLY WON'T START MOVING FOR FEW SECONDS AT TRAFFIC LIGHT. PLEASE HELP WITH RESOLVING THE PROBLEM WITH ALL OF US ROGUE CUSTOMERS/OWNERS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING NOW FOR MONTHS AND I AM WORRIED FOR MY FAMILIES SAFETY. THANKS

THE CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED IN JUNE 2016 WITH 122K MILES, JUST 7 YEARS OLD. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH 4 OTHERS IN THE SUV WHEN THE VEHICLE JERKED MADE A HOWLING NOISE AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE. LUCKY I WAS ABLE TO COAST ONTO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. I WENT TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THE COST WILL BE $3600. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, NISSAN NORTH AMERICAN, AND BBB BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS ARE FAULTY AND MAY NOT BREAK UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NISSAN DOES NOT WANT TO COVER THE COST NOR ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR CVT TRANSMISSIONS. THERE ARE MANY CUSTOMERS ON VARIOUS WEBSITES REPORTING TRANSMISSION FAILURES AND ALL COMPLAINTS ARE SIMILAR- FAILED TRANSMISSIONS AND NISSAN REFUSING TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITHOUT BEING PAID $3000+. IT'S SHOCKING THAT A RECALL HASN'T BEEN DONE FOR THESE TRANSMISSIONS. I'VE ALREADY READ DOZENS OF HORROR STORIES ONLINE OVER THIS. I'M SHOCKED THAT THERE HASN'T BEEN A FATALITY. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE ALL THESE CUSTOMERS GET TOGETHER AND FILE A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST NISSAN.

THE CVT TRANSMISSION OIL OVERHEATS AT LONG DRIVING PERIODS AND THE TRANSMISSION / CAR GOES INTO LIMP MODE AND THE SPEED DROPS IMMEDIATELY AND SIGNIFICANTLY AND WILL NOT BE DRIVEABLE UNTIL THE OIL COOLS DOWN. VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THIS ONLY HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAYS AT HIGH SPEEDS. ALSO, AFTER THE VEHICLE ENTERS THIS "LIMP MODE", IF YOU EXIT THE HIGHWAY AND STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, THE VEHICLE WILL THEN NOT ACCELERATE PAST 5 MPH FOR A PERIOD OF 30-45 SECONDS. NISSAN KNOWS THAT THIS HAPPENS AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSION. BUT THEY WILL DO NO WORK ON THE WARRANTY BECAUSE THE ISSUE CANNOT BE DUPLICATED BY THE DEALER WHEN THE CAR IS BROUGHT IN, WHICH WILL ALWAYS BE THE CASE BECAUSE THE ISSUE HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER BEING DRIVEN FOR A WHILE. THIS SUDDEN DECELERATION ALMOST GOT ME KILLED BY A SEMI THAT WAS BEHIND ME WHEN MY CAR WENT INTO THIS LIMP MODE WITHOUT WARNING.

Mileage: 114,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO 30 MPH WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. IN 2015, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DIFFERENT DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. THE FAILURE ONLY OCCURRED IN WARM WEATHER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

Mileage: 15,000

TRANSMISSION FAILED IN AUGUST 2013 WITH 86K AND WAS REPAIRED BY NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THIS PROBLEM EXISTED ON 2 OCCASIONS WITH ME AND I WAS ALMOST STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE SINCE IT FAILED AS I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE JERKED MADE A HOWLING NOISE AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE. I WAS ABLE TO COAST ONTO THE SHOULDER. DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT ORIGINALS PARTS WERE INSTALLED IN VEHICLE. NOW TRANSMISSION FAILURE IS OCCURRING ONCE AGAIN AND QUITE RECENTLY AFTER GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY THE CAR FAILED TO ACCELERATE AFTER STOPPING FOR A LIGHT. THIS HAS OCCURRED MANY TIMES WITHIN THE MONTH OF MAY AND AS A LONG DISTANCE DRIVER TO AND FROM WORK EVERYDAY, I AM PETRIFIED OF WHAT CAN HAPPEN IF IT STOP SUDDENLY. I WENT TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND ONCE AGAIN THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THE COST WILL BE $4100. NISSAN DOES NOT WANT TO BEAR SOME OF THE COST NOR ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR CARS/ROLLOVERS THAT HAS THE CVT (CONTINUOUS VARIABLE TRANSMISSIONS) MANY CUSTOMERS ON VARIOUS WEBSITES ARE REPORTING TRANSMISSION FAILURES IN NISSAN AS WELL AS ON THE BBB SITE. . ALL COMPLAINTS REPORTED FROM CUSTOMERS ARE SIMILAR- FAILED TRANSMISSIONS. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE TRANSMISSION BELT BREAKS WITH CAUSED A SUDDEN STOP. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO NISSAN NORTH AMERICAN, BBB, AND THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY OFFICE IN MY STATE BECAUSE NISSAN KNOWS THAT THE CVT AT TIMES MAY NOT BREAK UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD. ALTHOUGH, THEY HAS BEEN NO RECALLS THE EVIDENCE TO DATE SUGGESTS THAT CVT TRANSMISSION HAS BECOME A NIGHTMARE FOR ME AS WELL AS FOR OTHER CAR OWNERS. SINCE MY TRANSMISSION FAILED IN 2013, IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION DIDN'T NOT COME OUT BUT WAS OVERHAULED DUE TO THE COST OF REPLACEMENT. I CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT THE MOMENT AND I AM AFRAID OF MY SAFETY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THERE WAS A STRONG VIBRATION. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WAS NOTIFIED, BUT COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD A SERVICE CAMPAIGN, BUT THE CONTACT WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE STATUTE HAD EXPIRED DUE TO THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED NO REPAIR SOLUTION OTHER THAN STATING TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! - OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, I FILED A COMPLAINT TO THE NHTSA AND MADE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS TO THE DEALER SERVICE CENTER ABOUT THIS ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE CVT. I COMMUTE EVERYDAY ON THE NJ TURNPIKE. I HAVE TO MAKE STOPS 'TO LET THE ENGINE/CVT COOL OFF' BOTH GOING AND COMING HOME FROM WORK BECAUSE THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE. I BARELY GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER IN HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC. SOMETIMES IF THERE ISN'T AN IMMEDIATE SHOULDER, I HAVE TO GO AT A SPEED OF 5-10 MPH IN HIGH SPEED TURNPIKE TRAFFIC OF 60-80 MPH TO FINALLY GET TO A SHOULDER. I ALREADY REPLACED ONE CVT IN THIS CAR. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2009 WHEN I PURCHASED THIS CAR. NOW I SEE IN 2014 NISSAN CAME UP WITH A 'FIX' TO REPLACE/INSTALL A COOLER KIT AND A TRANS OIL COOLER. THE TWO KITS COST ABOUT $860 WITHOUT INSTALLATION. WHY IS THIS COST PASSED ON TO US THE CONSUMERS? THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN CVT DESIGN. NISSAN SHOULD MAKE GOOD ON THEIR PROMISE TO THE CUSTOMER AND RECALL THE VEHICLES WITH THIS CVT ISSUE TO REPLACE/INSTALL THE NEEDED PARTS WITHOUT MAKING US PAY FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE VEHICLE DESIGN. OH AND I I SAID EARLIER, I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING TO THE DEALER SERVICE CENTER FOR YEARS INCLUDING 2014 AND NONE OF THE SERVICE TECHS EVER MENTIONED THE COOLER KIT FIXES TO ME. THEIR RESPONSE WAS THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING WITH THE CAR. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN AND I TELL EVERYONE I KNOW ABOUT THESE CVT ISSUES. THERE ARE AT LEAST 100+ COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE ABOUT THE CVT. WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO GET A RECALL? WHY DO THE CONSUMERS HAVE TO PAY FOR NISSAN'S FAULTY CVT DESIGN?

THE CVT TRANSMISSION IN THE ROGUE IS KNOWN FOR FAILING. WHEN THE FLUID TEMPERATURE GETS TOO HOT THE VEHICLE WILL GO INTO A LIMP MODE LIMITING ALL POWER. MY ROGUE HAS HAD 4 TRANSMISSIONS IN 85K MILES. I HAVE HAD MY REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION FOR TWO WEEKS AND IT IS ALREADY HAVING SIGNS OF FAILING. I HAVE NEARLY BEEN IN MULTIPLE MAJOR WRECKS BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WILL CUT OUT WHEN TRYING TO ENTER A HIGHWAY OR PULL OUT ACROSS TRAFFIC. THERE ARE MULTIPLE REPORTS OF ACCIDENTS FROM THIS ISSUE BUT NISSAN HAS NOT SAID A WORD. IT HAS THE EXACT TYPE OF FAILURE THE NISSAN PATHFINDER HAD, WHICH JUST HAD A CLASS ACTION PASSED AGAINST IT.

MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AFTER DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (75 MPH) FOR MORE THAN 2 HOURS NO MATTER HOW HARD I STEPPED ON THE GAS. IT ONLY HAPPENED WHEN DRIVING AFTER 2 HOURS ON THE HIGHWAY AND DID NOT HAVE AN ISSUE AGAIN SINCE I USUALLY DO NOT TAKE LONG TRIPS. THIS HAPPENED TWICE FOR MY ROAD TRIP TO AND FROM HOUSTON AND DALLAS. A FEW MONTHS LATER, THE CAR JERKS WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. THIS WAS ON REGULAR ROADS ABOUT 40 MPH. NOTICED MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND WAS TOLD IT'S DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION. I BELIEVE THAT THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND UNFAIR FOR CAR OWNERS TO PAY FOR REPAIR SINCE MANY 2008 & 2009 ROGUE OWNERS REPORTED THE SAME ISSUE.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO HAVE TROUBLE SHIFTING GEARS WHEN TRAVELING OVER 50 MPH, I WAS DRIVING AND HAD MY GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND MY CAR SEEMED TO HAVE NO POWER. I EXITED THE HIGHWAY FOR SAFETY PURPOSES AND ONCE I CAME TO A STOP OFF THE INTERSTATE I TRIED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN TOWARDS A GAS STATION AND MY CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I LET OFF THE GAS AND TRIED TO ACCELERATE, FINALLY SUCCESSFUL AFTER A FEW TRIES. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND WHILE I HAVE HAD CHILDREN IN THE CAR MAKING IT VERY UNSAFE. I HAVE BEEN DOING RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. THE WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED TO 120K MILES BY NISSAN AND SINCE I NEVER RECEIVED A LETTER INFORMING ME OF THIS I JUST RECENTLY PASSED 120K MILES. IN THE BEGINNING OF THIS PROBLEM EVERYONE DIAGNOSED IT AS FUEL PUMP/INJECTION ISSUES AND NOW IT'S TOO LATE TO HAVE IT FIXED. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY WITH AS MANY PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. SINCE MAY OF 2014 I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS AND NOW THAT I HAVE GOTTEN THE PROPER DIAGNOSIS I FEEL LIKE NISSAN IS PUTTING PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF AND OTHERS THAT WERE NOT PROPERLY NOTIFIED IN TIME OF THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY ON SERIOUS DANGER. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY THAT NO ONE HAS HIT ME WHEN I TAKE OFF FROM A STOP SIGN AND MY TRANSMISSION WON'T SHIFT INTO GEAR LEAVING ME STALLED. THIS IS NOT OK AND THEY SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET AWAY WITH PUTTING A LIMIT ON WHEN TO FIX OR REPLACE DAMAGED PARTS!

IN JUNE OF THIS YEAR MY FAMILY AND I WAS ON OUR WAY TO MYRTLE BEACH FOR A FAMILY VACATION IN MY 2009 NISSAN ROUGE . WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR STARTED MAKING A LOUD WHINNY NOISE AND THEN COMPLETELY LOST POWER. WITH THE GAS PEDDLE TO THE FLOOR IT WOULD ONLY GO 40MPH. WE PULLED OVER AND IT WOULD NOT GO AT ALL. IT WAS LIKE IT WAS STUCK IN NEUTRAL. WE SAT FOR A WHILE AND IT DROVE LIKE NOTHING WAS WRONG. WE DECIDED NOT TO TAKE IT ON VACATION BUT LEAVE IT TO HAVE SOMEONE LOOK AT IT. THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. IT HASHAPPEND ON TWO MORE SEPARATE OCCASIONS NOW BOTH TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 45MINS. I MADE APPOINTMENT AND SENT IT TO A CERTIFIED NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO BE LOOKED AT. THEY ARE UNABLE TO HELP BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. ALTHOUGH I WAS TOLD BY THEM THAT THEY HAVE SEE IT MANY TIMES BEFORE AND WHAT IS HAPPENING IS THE TRANSMISSION IS GETTING HOT THE FLUID IS BUBBLING AND SENDING SIGNALS TO THE VEHICLE TO SHUT DOWN.NISSIAN WILL NOT AUTHORIZE THE DEALERSHIP TO BE ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO DUPLICATE. THE PROBLEM IS THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT TAKES A WHILE OF DRIVING FOR IT TO OCCUR. I CALLED CONSUMER AFAIRS AND THEY UN WILLING HELP STATING THE SAME THING THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME.

WHEN I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR OVER AN HOUR GOING 80 MPH, THE VECHICLE QUICKLY DECCELERATED AND WHEN I STEPPED ON THE PEDAL FOR GAS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR IT DID NOT ACCELERATE. IT WAS VERY SCARY SINCE THERE WERE ARE TRAVELING BEHIND ME AND I WAS AFRAID THEY WOULD CRASH INTO ME. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY TIME I TAKE MY VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING FOR OVER AN HOUR FOR THE PAST YEAR.

I HAVE A NISSAN ROGUE S 2009, I HAVE A BANGING NOISE FROM UNDERNEATH THE FLOOR BOARDS. I WAS MADE CHECK BY A MECHANIC AND HE SAID IS THE DRIVE SHAFT AND U JOINT IS COMPLETELY COVERED IS RUST WITH THE DRIVE SHAFT AND CAN BROKE IN ANY MOMENT AND THE I HAVE TO REPAIR NOT ONLY THAT OTHER PARTS TOO LIKE THE TRANSMISSION, DIRECTIONAL AND SO ON. I WENT TO THE NISSAN DEALER PART SERVICE AND THE PERSON WHO WORK THERE HE SAID THAT PART IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND FOR THE LOW OF MILEAGE SHOULDN'T HAPPENED. IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE IS A FAULT OF NISSAN ON A BAD PARTS THAT THEY INSTALL ON MY TRUCK. THEY NEED TO MAKE A RECALL AND FIX THIS BIG PROBLEM IN THE SAME WAY THEY CHARGE FOR THE TRUCK AND WE PAID, THEY NEED TO REPLACE AT NOT COST IS THERE RESPONSIBILITY FOR USE BAD PARTS AND THIS IS URGENT I DON'T WANTS MY MOTHER, MY NEPHEW (3 Y) AND MY NICE (2 Y) GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AND MYSELF PLEASE HELP ME THIS IS URGENT TO BRING MY CAR FOR REPAIR.

TRANSMISSION FROZE, NO FORWARD GEAR, NO REVERSE GEAR. LUCKILY IT HAPPENED WHEN PULLING INTO THE COALFIELD REST STOP NORTHBOUND ON I-55. AS I SLOWED TO PULL OFF ON THE EXIT RAMP, THE ROGUE JERKED TWICE AND CAME TO SUDDEN STOP. WITH THE TRANSMISSION LOCKING UP IT MAY HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF I WERE TO BE ON THE INTERSTATE (I-55 NORTHBOUND) AT APPROXIMATELY 6:30PM ON MAY 14, 2015.

THE LOUD NOISE THEN TURNED INTO A DRAGGING NOISE AS IF SOMETHING DID FALL OUT OF MY CAR. I IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN. AFTER STOPPING ON THE HIGHWAY I REALIZED MY GEAR SHIFTER WAS LOOSE AND I WASN'T ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR ANY LONGER. THE POLICE AND TOW TRUCK EVENTUALLY CAME AND MY CAR WAS TOWED TO MY MECHANIC.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM A REPUTABLE USED CAR DEALER USED. THE VEHICLE SEEMED OK VERY NICE INTERIOR EXTERIOR APPEARANCE. ON THE TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO SECOND OR THIRD , THE DEALER AGREED TO PAY FOR A TRANSMISSION FLUSH. THE NEXT DAY WHEN I GOT I N THE CAR TO DRIVE TO THE NISSAN DEALER TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION SERVICE DONE, I NOTICED THE VEHICLE BEING ERRATIC, IT FELT LIKE A TIRE OUT OF ROUND OR A SUSPENSION ISSUE. WHEN I GOT TO THE DEALER I NOTICED THE BRAND NEW TIRES THE DEALER HAD INSTALLED WERE WORN ON THE OUTSIDE. SO I HAD THEM CHECK IT OUT , THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THEN I NOTICED THE OIL THAT HAD BEEN PUT IN THE VEHICLE WAS WRONG 10W20 INSTEAD OF 10W30. WHILE AT THE NISSAN DEALER THEY PERFORMED THE RECALL ON THE HARNESS IN THE DOOR. THEY ALSO NOTICED THE TIRES LOW AND PERFORMED AND ALIGNMENT. AFTER THE TRANSMISSION FLUSH AND FILL, THEY ALSO DID THE ECM UPDATES. I NOTICED THE VEHICLE WAS STILL DOING THE SAME THING IT WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO 2ND SOMETIMES OR THIRD. THE NEXT DAY. THE TPMS LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. NISSAN NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LACK OF QUALITY AND REPAIR THESE MAJOR PROBLEMS THAT HAVE BEEN REPORTED BY NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. I AM STUCK WITH A LEMON OF A CAR, BECAUSE MY FINANCE COMPANY WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO BUY WHAT I WANTED, I HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS VEHICLE FOR 6 YEARS, AND I AM AFRAID I GOT STUCK. BUYERS NEED TO BE MADE AWARE OF THIS LOW QUALITY VEHICLE AND THE MANUFACTURERS LACK OF REGARD FOR COMPLAINTS. 70000 MILES IS NOTHING FOR A VEHICLE TODAY, BUT AT THE HIGH COST OF REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

CAR TRANSMISSION MAKES WHINING SOUND. AS YOU DRIVE UP AN INCLINE IT GETS WORSE. CAR SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING. YOU ARE FORCED TO PULL OVER AS YOU HAVE NO POWER. AFTER 5 -10 MINUTES THE CAR WILL START UP AGAIN. CAR WAS BROUGHT TO NISSAN AND THEY WERE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THEY INSTALLED AN EXTERNAL OIL COOLER AS THEIR CVT TRANSMISSION HAS ISSUES WITH OVERHEATING. THIS IS MOST DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE CAR JUST SHUTS DOWN AND APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BY NISSAN. NISSAN CHARGED $1000 TO FIX THE ISSUE WHICH SHOULD BE A RECALLED SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE CAR. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND SITUATIONS WHERE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER ROGUE OWNERS. *JS

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WA TO CA I NOTICED WHILE DRIVING UP THE GREAT VINE MY 2009 NISSAN ROGUE STARTED TO DECELERATE FROM 70 MPH TO 45-55 MPH, I HAD MY FOOT PRESSED PEDAL TO THE METAL WITH NO ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE JUST MADE IT BUT WHILE AT ANOTHER SLIGHT HILL MY VEHICLE DID THE SAME THING HOWEVER THIS TIME IT REDUCED TO SPEED THAT POSED A SAFETY CONCERN WHILE ON A HIGHWAY. THE SPEED DROPPED FROM 70 TO ABOUT 30 IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. MY INFANT SON AND WIFE WERE IN THE VEHICLE AS IT STARTED TO SHUT DOWN I MANAGED TO GET OUT OF THE HIGHWAY BUT NOT BEFORE WE HAD BIG RIGS AND OTHER VEHICLES SLOW DOWN OR CHANGE LANES TO AVOID A COLLISION.

I HAVE SPOKE WITH NUMEROUS PEOPLE THAT HAVE WORKED ON CARS BEFORE AND THEY SAID THIS SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED AT THIS LOW OF MILEAGE. I ALSO SPOKE WITH THE PARTS MANAGER FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND HE HAS WORKED ON NISSANS FOR 20 YEARS AND HE SAID HE HAS NEVER SEEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO WORK WITH NISSAN AND THEY ARE TRYING TO SHOVE THE DEAL THAT THEY HAVE FOR ME DOWN MY THROAT AND I AM NOT WILLING TO TAKE IT SINCE THIS IS A FAULT OF NISSAN ON A BAD PART THAT THEY INSTALLED ON MY TRUCK.

2009 NISSAN ROGUE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO A FAILURE TO REMEDY CVT TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING DESIGN DEFECT. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATED, THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY SLOW DOWN AND IT WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. THE CONSUMER STATED NONE OF NISSAN'S REMEDIES WORKED, DESPITE HAVING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID FLUSHED AND REPLACED, AND THEREAFTER, HAVING THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. THE CONSUMER WAS THEN INFORMED A NEW COOLANT TANK WOULD FIX THE ISSUE.

THE CAR WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" UNEXPECTEDLY AND DOES NOT MOVE. NISSAN'S OLDER CVT TRANSMISSION GETS HOT AND TO PROTECT ITSELF, NISSAN HAS IT PROGRAMMED TO SHUT ITSELF DOWN. AS A RESULT, THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE, EVEN THOUGH IT IS IN GEAR. THIS HAPPENS AFTER LONG HIGHWAY DRIVES (1 HOUR +) OR WHEN CLIMBING LONG HILLS. THE DEALER SOLUTION IS TO CONTINUALLY FLUSH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID EVERY 30K MILES AT A COST OF OVER $200 EACH TIME. THIS IS VERY VERY VERY DANGEROUS, IF YOU ARE MAKING A LEFT-HAND TURN INTO TRAFFIC AFTER COMING TO A STOP, THERE IS A HUGE POTENTIAL TO BE INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY, CLIMBING A HILL, THE CAR HAS AGAIN, GONE INTO LIMP MODE AND SLOWED DOWN TO A CRAWL, MAKING THE VEHICLE BEHIND YOU ALMOST REAR-END YOU. ADDITIONALLY, NISSAN'S ANSWER HAS BEEN TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSION TO 120K, BUT THAT IS OF NO VALUE BECAUSE THE DEALERS WILL NEVER ADMIT THAT THE CVT NEEDS REPLACING NOR DOES IT PAY FOR THE $250 CVT FLUSH. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS, IT IS VERY VERY VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

ONE DAY, THERE WERE NO ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. THE FOLLOWING DAY, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE, THE CAR EXHIBITED EXTREMELY POOR ACCELERATION FROM A STOP (I.E. STARTING A CAR IN 4TH GEAR). THE CAR WOULD VERY SLOWLY ACCELERATE TO ~25MPH, THEN BEGIN TO PERFORM BETTER. CLEARING AN INTERSECTION FROM A STOPPED POSITION TOOK UP TO 5-10S LONGER THAN IT SHOULD HAVE. ALSO DETERMINED THAT THE CAR NO LONGER HAD FUNCTIONING BREAK LIGHTS. CAR WAS NOT SAFELY USABLE. SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL, BASED ON INTERNET SEARCHES. THE DEALER CLAIMED INITIALLY TO HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE AT ALL OF THIS ISSUE. DEALER REPLACED BRAKE PEDAL SWITCH AND PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. REPAIR WAS NOT DONE UNDER WARRANTY, BUT WAS DONE UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY, SO I STILL HAD TO PAY TO HAVE THIS KNOWN, SAFETY CRITICAL ISSUE REPAIRED. *TR

AT 140,000 MILES THE CODE CAME UP AS AN INTERMITTENT TORQUE CONVERTER CIRCUIT PROBLEM. NISSAN THEN SAID THAT THEY COULDN'T RECREATE THE CODE SO THE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO FIX.

I WAS DRIVING ON I-25, MY CAR SET ON CRUISE CONTROL AT 75 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY THE SPEED DROPPED TO 45 MPH IN A MATTER OF SECONDS - WITHOUT WARNING. I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR BUT IT DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. THERE WAS ALSO A WHINING SOUND LIKE THE CAR WAS WORKING EXTRA HARD. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY; FORTUNATELY, THERE WERE NO CARS BEHIND ME. I WAS CONFUSED AND DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED SO I SAT THERE A FEW MINUTES THINKING THE CAR OVERHEATED. I THOUGHT I WOULD GIVE IT A CHANCE TO COOL DOWN. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES, I PUT MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON AND GOT BACK ON THE ROAD. I KEPT THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON AND DROVE SLOWER TO SEE IF IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. IT SEEMED TO BE OKAY AS LONG AS WE DIDN'T HAVE TO GO UP HILL AND I KEPT MY SPEED DOWN, I TESTED IT ALONG THE WAY. UPON TAKING IT IN TO NISSAN FOR INSPECTION, THEY THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO TOO MUCH TRANSMISSION FLUID, PUT IN AT THE FACTORY, SO THEY REMOVED SOME. AFTER A COUPLE MONTHS I GOT BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME NISSAN REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. I DON'T FEEL SAFER, AS I UNDERSTAND THIS CVT PROBLEM OCCURS IN MOUNTAINOUS AREAS, SUCH AS COLO. I HAVE ALSO READ BLOGS FROM PEOPLE WITH 08 & 09 ROGUES THAT HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AND IT WENT OUT AGAIN, NOT ALWAYS RIGHT AWAY. DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS THEN QUICKLY LOSING SPEED WITH NO INDICATION (BRAKE LIGHTS) TO THE DRIVERS BEHIND IS WITHOUT QUESTION A POTENTIALLY DEADLY SITUATION. I STILL FEAR IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I WON'T DRIVE MY ROGUE IN MOUNTAINOUS AREAS AND STAY AWAY FROM HIGHWAYS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. I PURCHASED THIS ROGUE WITH THE EXPECTATIONS IT WOULD TAKE ME WHERE I NEED TO GO SAFELY.

WHEN GOING OVER 60 MILES AN HOUR, USUALLY ABOUT AN HOUR INTO A LONG DRIVE, THE NISSAN ROGUE WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THE RPM INDICATOR GOES HAYWIRE AND MY FOOT IS COMPLETELY DOWN ON THE PEDAL BUT THERE IS NO ACCELERATION. THIS FIRST HAPPENED IN AUGUST 2012 WHEN I WAS DRIVING OVER A MOUNTAIN TO GET TO THE DESERT SO I THOUGHT THE CAR WAS OVERHEATING. SINCE THEN THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING CONSISTENTLY WHENEVER I DRIVE FOR OVER AN HOUR (WHICH I OFTEN DO FOR WORK). AT TIMES, THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD IF IT IS AT A STOPLIGHT EVEN WHEN MY FOOT IS COMPLETELY ON THE FLOOR. THEN IT REVS UP AFTER A MINUTE BUT NOT BEFORE EVERYONE ELSE STARTS HONKING. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU ARE ON THE FREEWAY AND SUDDENLY YOUR CAR STOPS ACCELERATING. ALL THE CARS BEHIND YOU START PASSING YOU BUT IT WILL ONLY TAKE ONE CAR NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO CAUSE A HUGE ACCIDENT, INJURY OR DEATH AND THEN NISSAN WILL BE IN REAL TROUBLE.

I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL SET TO 70 AND WHILE GOING UPHILL THE CRUISE CONTROL SHUT OFF AND I BEGAN LOOSING SPEED REALLY FAST. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR BUT THERE WAS NOTHING. I HAD THE PEDAL FLOORED AND YET I KEPT LOOSING SPEED. AT FIRST IT HAPPENED ONLY ON HILLS, NOW IT'S HAPPENING ON FLAT LAND. I'VE ALSO NOTICED THAT GOING FROM A STOP TO GO POINT MY CAR ALMOST STALLS AS IF IT WERE A MANUAL, IT'S AUTOMATIC. I'VE ALMOST GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT A FEW TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM SAYS THEY, "CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM," SO I'M DRIVING AROUND THIS CAR HOPING FOR THE BEST UNTIL IT GETS WORSE AND ACTUALLY CAUSES AND ACCIDENT OR UNTIL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON.

A HIGH-PITCHED WHIRRING SOUND MANIFESTED ITSELF WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, FOLLOWED BY A GRINDING SOUND, ALL COMING FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE TOWARDS THE REAR END. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC, WHO TOOK IT ON A TEST DRIVE. HE ALSO HAD ANOTHER MECHANIC DO THE SAME. BOTH DIAGNOSED IT AS A TRANSFER CASE FAILURE. I THEN TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER. AFTER THE TECH DROVE IT AND INSPECTED THE REAR END, IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A REAR DIFFERENTIAL THAT HAD FAILED. THE CAR ONLY HAS 74,300 MILES ON IT AND IS NOT USED FOR TOWING OR ANY OTHER SIMILARLY-DEMANDING ACTIVITIES. AT THE 50,000 MILE MARK THERE WAS A TRANSMISSION LEAK THAT ANOTHER NISSAN DEALER HAD TO FIX UNDER WARRANTY, BUT ONLY AFTER I CONTACTED NISSAN USA CONSUMER AFFAIRS. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO END TO THE ISSUES WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL CONCERNING THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND RELATED POWER-TRAIN COMPONENTS. IT IS PAST TIME FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO LOOK INTO THE HIGH RATE OF FAILURES WITH THESE MODELS. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A REASON NISSAN HAD TO MAKE A SPECIAL EXTENSION ON THE POWER TRAIN, DOUBLING THE LENGTH AND MILEAGE LIMIT. UNFORTUNATELY, THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS NOT PART OF THE POWER TRAIN AND I MUST PAY $2, 121 OUT OF POCKET FOR THE NECESSARY REPAIRS. *TR

A FEW MONTHS PRIOR TO MY TRANSMISSION FULLY BREAKING DOWN, I WAS EXPERIENCING EPISODES WHERE MY ROGUE WOULD LOSE ACCELERATION EVEN AS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS PRESSED AS FAR DOWN AS IT COULD. MAINLY THESE EPISODES WOULD OCCUR AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT. I WOULD BEGIN TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATOR NOR WOULD THE RPM'S INCREASE. SUDDENLY, THE "ENGINE" WOULD KICK IN AND I WAS QUICKLY AND FORCEFULLY PROPELLED FORWARD. THERE WERE A FEW EPISODES THAT OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THESE EPISODES WERE MORE FRIGHTENING AND THEY PLACED ME IN A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION OF BEING REAR-ENDED AT HIGH SPEEDS. THEN ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2012, MY FAMILY WAS LEAVING A VACATION TRIP AND HEADING HOME ON OUR 3+ HOUR DRIVE. NOT 2 MINUTES ON THE ROAD DID WE EXPERIENCE VERY LOUD GRINDING, CLUNKING AND ODD BEHAVIOR FROM OUR VEHICLE AS IT ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT GEARS. THIS NOISE/FEELING SEEMED TO MINIMIZE AS WE DROVE OVER 40 MPH UNTIL IT SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER. WE HAD TO ATTEMPT TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH OUR HAZARDS ON, AND THANK GOODNESS NO ONE WAS DRIVING BEHIND US OR I AM AFRAID WE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON A NORTHERN WISCONSIN HIGHWAY. SINCE THIS OCCURRED ON A SUNDAY AT 7:00 AM, WE DID NOT HAVE ANY POSSIBILITY TO TAKE IT TO A NISSAN DEALER OR TO RENT A VEHICLE TO GET HOME. WE WERE FORCED TO CONTACT A FAMILY MEMBER WHO GRACIOUSLY HAD A TRAILER AND DROVE THE 3+ HOURS TO GET US AND THEN TURN AROUND AND TOW US THE 3+ HOURS HOME. AFTER INSPECTION ON THE VEHICLE AT THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP, WE WERE INFORMED OF THE ISSUES AND EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I AM STILL FEARFUL OF WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO MY FAMILY. IT APPEARS THAT MANY PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE HAVE HAD THEIR TRANSMISSION REPLACED 2-3 TIMES. I FULLY SUPPORT A CVT RECALL!!!! *TR

I WAS DRIVING FROM BALTIMORE TO PHILADELPHIA IN JUNE OF THIS YEAR. AFTER ABOUT 1 HOUR OF HIGHWAY DRIVING MY 2009 NISSAN ROGUE STARTED TO STALL AS I REDUCED SPEED TO GET ON THE RAMP OF ANOTHER HIGHWAY. I WANTED TO PICK UP SPEED IN ORDER TO MERGE ONTO THE NEXT HIGHWAY, BUT MY CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND. I HAD PUSHED THE ACCELERATING PEDAL TO THE METAL AND IT STILL WAS NOT RESPONDING OR RATHER GOING AT 40MPH. I EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND STOPPED THE ENGINE, TO GIVE IT A REST, BUT AS I PROCEEDED THE CAR STILL STALLED. I ENDED UP HAVING IT TOWED FROM MY HOTEL TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP LOCATED 6723 ESSINGTON AVENUE PHILADELPHIA, PA 19153. I WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS TOPPED OFF BUT THEY DID NOT SEE A LEAK. I DROVE THE CAR BACK TO BALTIMORE THE NEXT DAY, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN RECURRING. I HAVE HAD MANY NEAR MISSES) IS NISSAN WAITING TO HAVE FATALITIES IN ORDER TO REACT? I DO NOT WISH TO BE A STATISTIC. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, MY 2009 NISSAN ROGUE BEGAN OVERHEATING. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY MECHANIC WHERE HE FOUND COOLANT IN THE SPARK PLUGS SO REPLACED ALL PLUGS AND CHECKED THE RADIATOR. WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE, IT WOULDN'T START. HE CHECKED IT OVER AGAIN AND SAID THAT IT HAD A BLOWN HEAD GASKET. UNFORTUNATELY, THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY WAS ONLY GOOD FOR 5 YRS/60,000 MILES. I WAS 6,000 MILES OVER THE LIMIT. WHEN NISSAN WAS CONTACTED TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE POWER TRAIN. WHEN I ASKED THEM IF THEY HAD NOTICED A HIGH INCIDENCE OF POWER TRAIN PROBLEMS BEING REPORTED, I WAS TOLD "WELL, YES AND NO." HUH? *TR

VEHICLE WOULD START AND I WAS ABLE TO CHANGE GEARS BUT THESE WILL NOT ACTIVATE. EVEN WHEN ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE IT WILL NOT MOVE. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED. THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENCE; THE FIRST TIME WE EXPERIENCE THIS SITUATION WAS AT THE TIME WE TOOK THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE DEALER. AFTER STOPPING FOR GAS AND STARTING THE VEHICLE AGAIN IT ONLY MOVED FOR ABOUT 5 MINS, THEN STOPPED COMPLETELY. VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND A DIFFERENT VEHICLE PROVIDED (SAME MAKE AND MODEL); NOW THREE YEARS AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT WE HAVE THE SAME SITUATION (SAME SITUATION, TWO DIFFERENT VEHICLES, THREE YEARS TIMEFRAME). WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT CORRECTING THE SITUATION WILL COST BETWEEN $2500-3000. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65-70 MPH. CAME TO A SLIGHT LONG INCLINE ON THE HIGHWAY. IT SLOWED TO 60 MILES PER HOUR WITH THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY PUSHED DOWN. WHEN I CAME TO A REST STOP AND TOOK OFF AGAIN-THE ACCELERATION WAS SLOW TO PICK UP SPEED. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I WAS COMING BACK FROM SEATTLE TO SPOKANE, WA GOING UP THE MOUNTAIN PASS. I COULD NOT GO OVER 30 MILES PER HOUR WITH THE ACCELERATOR PUSHED ALL THE WAY DOWN. IT HAPPENED ON ANOTHER HILL FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD. AGAIN WHEN I STOPPED-THEIR WAS A DELAY IN ACCELERATION. SINCE THIS A COMPANY CAR AND HAVE THE OPTION TO PURCHASE IT AT 80,000 MILES- I WILL NOT. BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO BUY IT AND GIVE IT TO MY DAUGHTER SINCE SHE WILL BE TAKING DRIVER'S EDUCATION THIS YEAR. I FEEL THAT THIS CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIALLY FOR A NEW DRIVER. I WILL NOT BE BUYING A NISSAN IN THE FUTURE FOR MY DAUGHTER. OR ANY OTHER NISSAN. I WILL ALSO LET OUR FLEETS DEPARTMENT KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

AT SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST COMING FROM OUT OF A STOP, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS ABLE TO PUSH THE PEDAL HARD TO GET ACCELERATION AND MANAGED TO REGAIN ACCELERATION. ON 7/9/12, WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT STEADY SPEEDS, I BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN TO SLOWING TRAFFIC, WHEN TRAFFIC PICKED UP I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET ACCELERATION OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I PUNCHED THE PEDAL TO THE FLOORBOARD AND GOT NO ACCELERATION WHATSOEVER. THE RPMS WOULD NOT INCREASE THE OVERDRIVE WOULD NOT RESPOND AND WAS JUST COASTING AT 40 MPH. THIS WAS SUCH A RISK AS I HAD FAST COMING TRAFFIC AND HAD TO PULL TO THE SLOW LANE TO NOT BE A HAZARD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY. THE VEHICLE NEVER REGAINED ACCELERATION AND HAD TO KEEP PEDAL PUSHED TO CONTINUE MOVING. I PROCEEDED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT THE INSISTED THAT SINCE THEY RECEIVED NO COMPUTER ERROR CODES OR COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND NOTICED IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO LOTS OF PEOPLE AND COULD BE SEVERAL POSSIBLE ISSUES. IT SEEMS MOST OF THE CAUSES ARE A RESULT OF LONG DISTANCE DRIVING WHICH I DO 4 TIMES A WEEK AND SOMEHOW RESETS UPON TURNING OFF AND TURNING BACK ON VEHICLE OR VEHICLE COOLING DOWN. THE DEALER "COULD NOT" SPARE THE TIME FOR SOMEONE TO DRIVE IT FOR THAT LONG SO THEY LEFT IT AT THAT.. I FEEL THIS IS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD AND HOPE THAT THIS ISSUE CAN BE DEALT WITH THE MANUFACTURER AS A RECALL. *TR

I REPORTED A VIBRATION ISSUE WITHIN THE FIRST TWO WEEKS OF LEASE INCEPTION ON MY 2009 NISSAN ROGUE SL AWD.. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB AND NISSAN STATED THERE IS NO PROBLEM. AFTER A NISSAN DEALER FOUND THE PROBLEM , NISSAN TOLD THE DEALER NOT TO REPAIR THE SUV. HERE IS A VIDEO. I ESCALATED THE BBB COMPLAINT TO A HEARING AND NISSAN STATED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG EVEN THOU THEY RECIVED A NISSAN DEALERS REPAIR ORDER STATEING A PROBLEM WAS FOUND. I HAD TO DRIVE OUT OF STATE TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED HAS A BINDING AXLE SHAFT. IN THE SWORN IN AND RECORDED HEARING WITNESSED MY THE ARBIRTRATOR WE AGREED TO INSPECT THE ROGUE TOGRTHER BUT HAS NEVER CONTACTED ME OR THE DEALEAR AFTER WE LEFT NUMERIOUS MESSAGES. I HAVE HAD TO RETAIN A LAWYER. I CAN NOT EVEN BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW PISSED OFF I AM. NISSAN ANDS ITS DEALERS ARE TELLING EVERYONE THERE IS NO PROBLEM AND THAT IT IS DESIGNED TO VIBRATE. NISSAN HAS 9 CURRENT CVT TRANS IN THERE MODEL LINE UP AND THE ROGUE IS THE ONLY ONE THAT VIBRATES? I CAN ONLY HOPE YOU SEARCH ON LINE TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINS AND NISSANS PRCEUDER IS THEY TEST DRIVE THE CAR AND THAT'S IT. I HAVE ASKED THE DEALERS, NISSAN NORTH AMERICA AND NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS WHAT INSPECTIONS WERE PREFORMED AND BY WHOM AND THEY REFUSE TO TELL ME. * INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) *TT

AFTER DRIVING 2009 NISSAN ROGUE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR TWENTY OR MORE MILES, THE VEHICLE BEGINS MAKING HIGH PITCHED WHINE ON ACCELERATION, AND THE SMELL OF BURNING TRANSMISSION FLUID IS PRESENT. UPON COMPLETING A STOP AFTER TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE VEHICLE FAILS TO ACCELERATE UPON DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. THE VEHICLE FAILS TO MOVE FOR APPROXIMATELY FIVE SECONDS, THEN IT PROCEEDS TO MOVE VERY SLOWLY. THE VEHICLE ENGINE DOES NOT REV, THE RPM GAUGE REMAINS AT IDLE, EVEN WITH THE ACCELERATOR FULLY DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE. IN SITUATIONS REQUIRING QUICK BURSTS OF SPEED, SUCH AS ENTERING A MULTI-LANE HIGHWAY FROM A SIDE STREET, THIS HAS PLACED THE VEHICLE IN THE POSITION OF BLOCKING THE HIGHWAY WHILE FAST MOVING VEHICLES ARE APPROACHING. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS A TRANSMISSION SPECIALTY REPAIR SHOP AND HAVE BEEN TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. *TR

3RD FAILURE - SAME PROBLEM WITH 2009 NISSAN ROGUE 4CYL W/CVT. CAR LOSES POWER - WHEN STEPPING ON GAS, CAR ONLY CREEPS FORWARD, ACCELERATING VERY SLOWLY AS IF IT'S NOT GETTING GAS OR AS IF YOU ARE STARTING OFF IN A HIGH GEAR. ATTEMPTS TO MANUALLY DOWNSHIFT HAVE NO EFFECT; SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL ALLOWS ENGINE TO REV FREELY. LAST TWO INCIDENTS OCCURRED WITH WIFE AND 2 YOUNG CHILDREN IN CAR ON BUSY ROAD - VERY HIGH SAFETY RISK AS THE PROBLEM OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING, LEAVING THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY NEARLY POWERLESS IN TRAFFIC. FIRST TRIP TO DEALER (PROBLEM WAS LESS SEVERE/FREQUENT FIRST TIME) PROMPTED SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO "FIX" UNDER AN OPEN TRANSMISSION-RELATED SERVICE CAMPAIGN, THE DESCRIPTION OF WHICH DID NOT FIT THE PROBLEM, BUT THE CAR WORKED PROPERLY UPON RECEIPT. PROBLEM RETURNED A MONTH LATER WITH GREATER SEVERITY - CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. CAR WAS IN SHOP FOR A WEEK AS NECESSARY PART WAS ON BACKORDER - "THIS IS A PROBLEM WE'VE BEEN SEEING LATELY," WE WERE TOLD. UPON RETURN CAR NEVER FELT FULLY LIKE IT DID WHEN NEW - WOULD OFTEN HESITATE SLIGHTLY WHEN GOING UP A GRADE BEFORE PICKUP RETURNED. DEALER "UNABLE TO REPRODUCE" THIS VERY FREQUENT PROBLEM WHEN BROUGHT IN FOR REVIEW, SO WE JUST LIVED WITH IT. THIRD INCIDENT OCCURRED LAST WEEK WITH HIGH SEVERITY, AGAIN, PUTTING WIFE/CHILDREN AT RISK IMMEDIATELY AFTER PULLING ONTO A BUSY MAIN ROAD. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE INCIDENT. CAR IS NOW AT DEALER FOR FURTHER EVALUATION. CAR IS ON LEASE; REQUESTS THUS FAR TO BE RELEASED FROM REMAINDER OF TERM BASED ON RECURRING SAFETY CONCERNS HAVE BEEN DENIED. CAR HAS 12K MILES ON IT AT 2 YEARS IN OUR POSSESSION, HAS BEEN FULLY MAINTAINED ACCORDING TO OWNER'S MANUAL AND IS IN EXCELLENT OVERALL SHAPE. I AM UNCOMFORTABLE PUTTING MY FAMILY IN THIS VEHICLE AGAIN GIVEN THE RECURRING FAILURE AND TYPE OF FAILURE.
