FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I FILLED ME VEHICLE UP ON MONDAY OF THIS WEEK, AND THE GAS GAUGE NEVER WENT ABOVE A 1/4 OF A TANK. WHEN I WAS DRIVING TO WORK MY CAR RAN OUT OF GAS AND I HAD NO IDEA BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN SHOWING ON E ALL WEEK, BUT I KNEW IT HAD GAS. SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN OCTOBER, IT HAS NEVER ACTUALLY GONE ALL THE WAY TO FULL NO MATTER HOW MUCH I FILL IT UP. I LOOK ONLINE AND ALL I'M SEEING IS THIS IS A HUGELY KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSAN'S. IT CAUSED ME LOST WORK AND I WILL NOW HAVE TO PAY $600+ TO GET THIS FIXED, WHEN IF THEY GOT IT RESOLVED THERE WOULDN'T BE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ONLINE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE, NO MATTER THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 3RD 2014, THE NISSAN WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE, AND HAS NOT STARTED SEANCE, I REPLACED THE FOLLOWING PARTS (FOR MY WIFE) ON THE BATTERY. THE POSITIVE TERMINAL CLAMP WAS CORRODED THROUGH TO THE POINT WE TOUCHED IT AND IT BROKE. (WE REPLACED THE PARTS FROM DEALERSHIP SEPTEMBER 8TH, 2014) BEFORE AND AFTER THE BATTERY TERMINAL AND FUSE PACK WERE REPLACED THE OBD2 WILL NOT CONNECT WITH THE COMPUTER SYSTEM IN THE CAR AT ALL. NOW NOT EVEN 24 HRS AFTER THE ABOVE LISTED PARTS WERE REPLACED, THE CAR BATTERY IS NOW DEAD, SITTING ON STREET WITH SYSTEM NOW RECONNECTED. AFTER PARTS WERE REPLACED THE CARE WOULD CRANK WITH NO START, (CRANKING WAS STRONG WITH NO LAG). NOW THERE IS NO CHARGE IN THE BATTERY NOT EVEN 12 HRS AFTER REPLACING THE PARTS. THIS IS DISCONCERTING BEING THAT WE HAVE HAD NO ISSUES WITH THE AUTO UNTIL NOW. WE DID NOTE THAT THERE IS/WAS A RECALL FOR SERVICE FOR 2008 NISSAN ROGUE AS LISTED BELLOW: 2008 NISSAN ROGUE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SERVICE BULLETIN 373732 NHTSA: ACTION NUMBER: 10055490 SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: 373732 REPORT DATE: APR 09, 2014COMPONENT: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SUMMARY: NISSAN: THE MAIN HARNESS TO BODY HARNESS CONNECTORS IS EXPERIENCING ELECTRICAL CORROSION ISSUES. 2008-2014 ROGUE. *PE SOURCE: HTTP://WWW.AUTOMD.COM/TSB/BULLETIN_B373732/ *TR

POWER TRAIN
WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY CAR LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 35MPH. UPON EXIT FROM HIGHWAY, WOULD NOT GO PAST 20 MPH. TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT NEEDED A TRANSMISSION OIL CHANGE. THIS WEEKEND IT OCCURRED AGAIN. MY SON WAS DRIVING IT AND IT BECAME TOO DANGEROUS TO ATTEMPT CROSSING AN INTERSECTION. RETURNED TO DEALER AND THEY SAID IT NEEDED ANOTHER TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE. THERE IS NO INDICATOR LIGHT, NO ERROR CODE TO TELL YOU THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS SERVICE. THE MANUAL IS VAGUE WITH REGARDS TO CHANGE INTERVALS. LUCKILY MY SON IS AN ADULT WHO KNEW HOW TO HANDLE THE SITUATION. AN INEXPERIENCED, ELDERLY OR EVEN DISTRACTED DRIVER COULD HAVE BEEN SEVERELY INJURED. MY SON WAS GLAD HE WAS NOT REAR ENDED WHEN HE DID NOT PROCEED INTO THE INTERSECTION. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MAY 2014: ON A TRIP TO AZ, VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO DECELERATE AND COULD NOT BE DRIVEN MORE THAN 3000 RPMS. SUDDENLY AND DRASTICALLY SLOWING DOWN WITHOUT USING BRAKES AND WITH NO BRAKE LIGHT WARNING TO FOLLOWING VEHICLES COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS REAR-END ACCIDENT. PROBLEM OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING MORE 20 TIMES. TOOK ROGUE TO ECONOMY NISSAN TO REPAIR PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED DIP STICK AND DRAINED OFF SOME TRANSMISSION FLUID AND STATED THIS WOULD CORRECT WHAT THEY SAID WAS A TRANSMISSION FLUID OVERHEATING PROBLEM. JULY 2014: ON ANOTHER CROSS COUNTRY TRIP PROBLEM RE-OCCURRED. WENT TO DAVE SOLON NISSAN IN PUEBLO COLO. THEY ADVISED NOT TO CONTINUE DRIVING ROGUE UNTIL A TRANSMISSION COOLER KIT WAS INSTALLED. THIS PART WAS ON PERPETUAL BACK ORDER. IN REALITY WE WERE INFORMED THAT AT THAT TIME THERE WAS NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. BECAUSE OF OUR SCHEDULE, WE TRADED THE ROGUE IN FOR A USED NISSAN PATHFINDER. WE LATER FOUND OUT THAT DAVE SOLON NISSAN GOT TIRED OF WAITING FOR THE PART AND TOOK ROGUE TO A CAR ACTION. IT IS UNCLEAR WHETHER THEY INFORMED THE PUBLIC OF PROBLEM OR JUST SOLD THE VEHICLE WITH A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM THAT COULD NOT BE CORRECTED. TO DATE THERE APPEARS TO BE NO FIX TO THIS PROBLEM. WE BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE GIVEN THE HIGH POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS REAR-END ACCIDENTS. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS GAUGE READY 1/2 TO 1/4 EMPTY WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE ARE REPORTED PROBLEMS WITH A FAULTY FUEL SENDING MODULE OR MODULES OR PERHAPS THE FUEL PUMP. I SEE THIS PROBLEM ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN SUBMITTED FOR THE NISSAN ROGUE. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THE NISSAN PATHFINDER HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH A RECALL. TO MY UNDERSTANDING THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE NISSAN FUEL PART IS THAT THE PATHFINDER PART NUMBER IS DIFFERENT THEN THE NISSAN BUT THE FAULTY PART IS THE SAME. ALSO PROBLEMS WITH TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR PANEL LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN WHEN TIRE PRESSURE IS CORRECT. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE
I FIRST EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER IN MY VEHICLE WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I STARTED TO GO, EVEN WITH THE GAS PEDAL PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR THE CAR WOULD BARELY MOVE. THE ENGINE WOULD REV, BUT THE CAR BARELY HAD ANY POWER. I DROVE IT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT (HAYES CHRYSLER IN GAINESVILLE) THE STATED IT WAS THEY THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND SENT IT TO THE CARRIAGE NISSAN GARAGE. AFTER HAVING IT THERE FOR A FEW DAYS THE TECHNICIAN SAID HE COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM! I LEFT AND BEFORE I COULD EVEN GET 15 MILES DOWN THE ROAD I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 60MPH, WHEN ALL THE SUDDEN I STARTED LOSING SPEED. REGARDLESS OF THE FACT THAT I HAD THE GAS PEDAL TOO THE FLOOR! I TURNED AROUND AND TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO NISSAN, HOWEVER IN THE LAST 10 MINUTES OF MY DRIVE TO THE SERVICE SHOP THE PROBLEM STOPPED! THEY KEPT IT FOR ANOTHER DAY AND STILL COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THEY STATED THAT IT WAS MOST LIKELY THE ABS SENOR THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WE REPLACED THE SENSOR AND I THOUGHT ALL THE PROBLEMS HAD BEEN SOLVED! WRONG!!!! THERE HAVE BEEN 3 INSTANCES WERE I HAVE HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL SET WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN I START LOSING SPEED! THERE HAVE BEEN 4 INSTANCES WHERE I HAVE ALMOST BEEN T-BONES WITH MY 2 SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR BECAUSE THE CAR HAS LOST ACCELERATION IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION!!! THE MORNING I TOOK MY CAR TO THE SHOP THIS TIME (8-25-14) I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A SEMI WHEN MY CAR COULDN'T GET THROUGH THE GREEN LIGHT BEFORE IT TURNED RED. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS, AND FIGHTS FOR A RECALL ON THIS TRANSMISSION! MY NISSAN TECH STATES THAT IF THERE IS NO CODE THROWN DURING THE INCIDENT THEN THEY CANNOT REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION, YET EVERY CASE I'VE READ SAY THAT NO CODE HAS SHOWN UP AT ALL! THIS IS A DANGER TO OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR

AIR BAGS
I HAVE CALLED THE NISSAN RECALL LINE TO PUT A COMPLAINT ON MY NISSAN, ROUGE, RECALL NO. NTB08-095A AND DID NOT WANT TO ACCEPT MY CLAIM SINCE THEY STATE THAT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT APPLY UNDER THIS RECALL. MY VEHICLE HAS THIS SPECIFIC DEFECT WITH THE AIR BAG AND NISSAN HAS STATED CLEARLY THAT THEY ARE WANTING TO FIX THIS AIR BAG (OCS) PROBLEM. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT MY VEHICLE HAS, ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG BEING SUPPRESSED WHICH COULD FAIL TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE PROTECTION IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. I AM OVERLY CONCERN THAT IF I DO HAVE AN ACCIDENT THAT I AM NOT PROTECTED ANY OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS WILL BE HURT, I WOULD LIKE THE NHTSA TO ADVICE ME WHAT I CAN DO SINCE THIS HAS BEEN A RECALL THAT I HAVE LOOKED IT UP IN THE RECALL SITE OF THE NHTSA.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2008 NISSAN ROGUE HAS A TENDENCY TO LOSE POWER ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER BEING DRIVEN FOR OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME AT A CONSTANT SPEED, USUALLY ABOUT 45 MINUTES TO AN HOUR AT 75 MILES AN HOUR. THE VEHICLE WILL START MY MAKING A WEIRD WHISTLING OR WHINING NOISE THEN AFTER THAT YOU CANNOT ACCELERATE IT'LL BE STUCK AT WHATEVER SPEED YOUR GOING. WHEN I COME ACROSS A BRIDGE OR A HILL IT'LL SLOW DOWN A BIT THEN ACCELERATE ONCE I'M GOING DOWNHILL THEN STOP AT A SPECIFIC MPH, NO MATTER HOW MUCH I PRESS ON THE GAS IT WILL NOT GO ANY FURTHER. WHEN I OFF THE HIGHWAY AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND TRY TO TAKE OFF AGAIN IT WILL NOT RESPOND RIGHT AWAY THEN IT WILL TAKE OFF WITH ME AS I'M PRESSING THE GAS, ALMOST RESULTING IN ME RUNNING INTO OTHER VEHICLES SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN I TAKE THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN IT DOESN'T GIVE ANY ERROR CODES OR SHOW THAT ANYTHING IS WRONG. NISSAN CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT WILLING TO PAY SOMEONE TO GO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR OVER THAT LONG PERIOD OF TIME. I COMMUTE TO WORK AND CHURCH ON THE HIGHWAY FIVE TIMES A WEEK AND EXPERIENCE THIS JUST ABOUT EVERY SINGLE DAY. I DID HOWEVER TAKE THE CAR TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE EXPERIENCE WHAT THE CAR IS DOING AND HE NOTICED NISSAN PUT TOO MUCH FLUID IN MY TRANSMISSION WHEN THEY REPLACED IT AFTER IT STOPPED ON ME PREVIOUSLY ON THE HIGHWAY, THAT DID SOLVE THE PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL MONTHS BUT NOW IT'S DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. I CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE THEY INFORM ME THERE'S NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. I DID A INTERNET SEARCH AND THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME STORY AND WAS EVEN COVERED BY THE NEWS STATION. ONE OTHER THING THEY ALL HAVE IN COMMON IS THAT NO ONE HAD THAT ISSUE FIX OR KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I RECENTLY RENT A VEHICLE BECAUSE I REFUSE TO LET MY WIFE AND ONE YEAR OLD IN THE CAR BY THEMSELVES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING 2008 NISSAN ROGUE ON I-17 INTERSTATE TOWARD FLAGSTAFF, AZ AT POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED RAPID LOSS OF SPEED AND POWER IN WHICH PRESSING DOWN ON ACCELERATOR HAD NO EFFECT ON VEHICLE. SEMI-TRUCK NEARLY REAR ENDED OUR VEHICLE. DRIVER OF SEMI-TRUCK MADE SUDDEN LANE CHANGE TO AVOID COLLISION. PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT VEHICLE OFF. INSPECTED VEHICLE FOR ANY OBVIOUS SIGNS OF SOURCE OF MALFUNCTION. RESTARTED VEHICLE AFTER 20 MINUTES AND RESUMED TRAVEL WITH NO ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS ON THIS TRIP. THIS MALFUNCTION HAS REPEATED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS SINCE, WITH MORE REGULARITY TO DATE. SEEMS TO OCCUR MOST OFTEN WHEN DRIVING TO A HIGHER ELEVATION AFTER AN HOUR OR MORE OF CONTINUOUS OPERATION. WHEN MALFUNCTION OCCURS, ENGINE WILL NOT EXCEED 2500-3000 RPMS EVEN WITH GAS PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED. SINCE ORIGINAL MALFUNCTION, I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED LACK OF ACCELERATION OR HESITATION FROM A COMPLETE STOP WHEN ENTERING INTO TRAFFIC RESULTING IN POTENTIAL UNSAFE CONDITION WHEN ENTERING TRAFFIC. MALFUNCTION IS INTERMITTENT, BUT EXTREMELY MORE FREQUENT. I HAVE SINCE READ MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET FROM OTHER OWNERS OF SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN
THE PROBLEM WE ARE HAVING IS THE CAR WILL HESITATE AS IF THE ENGINE STALLS BUT THE TACHOMETER SHOWS A STEADY RPM. THIS HESITATION LASTS FOR JUST A FEW SECONDS BUT IS VERY SUDDEN. THE CAR THEN STARTS GOING AS IF NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. THERE ARE NO LIGHTS COMING ON TO INDICATE ANY PROBLEMS. WHEN I HAVE HAD THE CAR AT THE DEALER THEY CHECK FOR A TROUBLE CODES AND THERE AREN'T ANY. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND DIFFERENT CONDITIONS. THE FIRST TIME I JUST HAD TURNED A CORNER AND STARTED TO ACCELERATE AND IT HESITATED THREE TIMES WITHIN 10 TO 15 SECONDS. OUR SPEED DROPPED TO ALMOST A STOP THEN STARTED AS IF NOTHING WAS WRONG. OTHER TIMES I HAVE BEEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHT AND HAVE HAD THE CAR COME ALMOST TO A STOP. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED THREE TIMES. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AT A CONSTANT SPEED ON THE FREEWAY AND HAD THE CAR DROP FROM 65 MPH DOWN TO 40 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. AGAIN ALMOST CAUSING A MAJOR WRECK IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE CAR AGAIN STARTED UP AS IF NOTHING WAS WRONG. ANOTHER TIME I WAS MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY INTO TRAFFIC DOING 70MPH AND HAD IT HESITATE DOWN TO 40MPH IN FRONT OF A SEMI. HE HAD TO LOCK HIS WHEELS TO AVOID REAR ENDING ME, HE COULD NOT GET OVER. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MERGE WITHOUT ANY TROUBLE. I HAD ENOUGH ROOM HAD IT NOT HESITATED. THIS LAST TIME I WAS TURNING ACROSS TWO LANES ONTO AN ENTRANCE RAMP TO THE FREEWAY WHEN IT CAME ALMOST TO A STOP MIDWAY ACROSS THE FIRST LANE I WAS CROSSING. AN ONCOMING CAR HAD TO SWERVE INTO THE RIGHT LANE TO AVOID ME. HAD THE CAR NOT BEEN ABLE TO MOVE RIGHT WE WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT IN THE PASSENGER DOOR AT ABOUT 50 MPH. MY WIFE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. I HAVE CALLED THE SERVICE MANAGER AT OUR DEALERSHIP BUT HE WILL NOT CALL BACK. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE AT 1-800-343-6913 X[XXX] AND LEFT MESSAGES WITH [XXX] BUT SHE WILL NOT RETURN MY CALLS.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE TRANSMISSION DIED ON MY 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN JUNE 2008, WE HEARD "WHIRING" NOISES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP OF PURCHASE AND WE HAVE THE NOTATION THAT CUSTOMER COMPLAINED OF WHIRING. RESULT WAS THERE WERE NO ISSUES. CAR HAS CONTINUED TO WHINE THROUGH THE YEARS, IN THE PAST YEAR, IT BECAME WORSE. WE TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC TO BE EVALUATED, AND IMMEDIATELY HE KNEW THE PROBLEM- THE CVT TRANSMISSION. THE MECHANIC DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT NISSAN HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY, VERY QUIETLY. SINCE I DRIVE 70+ MILES TO/FROM WORK, MY CAR WAS ALREADY OVER THE WARRANTY LIMIT. HENCE, LEFT WITH 2 OPTIONS, REPLACEMENT VIA A NISSAN DEALERSHIP COSTING $5,000 AS NO VIABLE MECHANIC WILL TOUCH THE PROBLEM. OR GET RID OF THE CAR. THIS TYPE OF REPAIR WAS NOT IN OUR BUDGET NOR WERE WE IN A POSITION TO PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE ( THIS ONE WAS PAID FOR). THERE WAS NO GUARANTEE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WOULD GO OUT, OTHER THAN IT EVENTUALLY WOULD. LATELY, THE NOISE HAD BECOME MUCH WORSE AND WE FEARED THE WORST. THANK GOODNESS, THE CAR DIED IN OUR DRIVEWAY AND NOT THE HIGHWAY. NISSAN KNEW THIS WAS A PROBLEM, APPARENTLY FROM THE BEGINNING, AND IS NOT ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED THERE IS A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER NO MATTER HOW FAR YOU DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE WILL NOT GO ANY FASTER AND YOU ARE COASTING YOU CAN NOT GO ANY FASTER. THIS HAPPENS WHEN GOING UP HILL ON WHEN THERE IS A GREATER LOAD ON THE TRANSMISSION. YOU CAN NOT MAINTAIN SPEED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC THIS CREATES A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION FOR THE OCCUPANTS OF THE CAR AS WELL AS THOSE AROUND THEM. WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER I WAS TOLD THERE IS A TECHNICAL BULLETIN FOR ALL ROGUES THAT THE TRANSMISSION OVER HEATS AND IT GOES INTO SAFETY OVERRIDE MODE SO IT DOESN'T BLOW UP. IN LIGHT OF THIS ALL ROGUES NEED A TRANSMISSION COOLER INSTALLED AT A COST OF $1300. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60 MPH MY CAR STARTED TO MAKE A WINDING SOUND BUT MY DASHBOARD DID NOT SHOW ANY WARNING LIGHTS IT QUICKLY STARTED TO LOSE POWER AND I IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO GET OUT OF THE FREEWAY. WHEN EXITING THE FREEWAY AND CROSSING A BUSY INTERSECTION MY CARD WOULD NOT RESPOND WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS, IT WAS NOT ACCELERATING AT ALL; MY SON QUICKLY ACTED AND PUSHED MY VEHICLE FROM THE BACK TO HELP ME CROSS THE INTERSECTION AND PARK SAFELY. IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS THAT A CAR CAN DECELERATES SO FAST WITHOUT WARNING. *JS
