LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE DOOR ACTUATORS FOR THIS VEHICLE HAVE FAILED REPEATEDLY. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR TWICE, THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR ONCE, AND NOW THE REAR DOORS ARE FAILING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AS YOU CAN NEVER TELL IF THE DOORS ARE LOCKED OR UNLOCKED WITHOUT PHYSICALLY HAVING TO CHECK EVERY DOOR. *TR

THIS IS ONE OF SEVERAL SIMILAR INCIDENTS. I WAS ON A ROAD TRIP TO NYC, DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AT 73 MPH. IN ALL INCIDENTS, I NOTICED THAT AFTER HAVING THE CRUISE ON FOR OVER AN HOUR, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CRUISE WOULD JUST "KICK OFF". IT WOULD STOP WORKING. AND MY CAR WOULD START TO DECELERATE. BEING ON A MAIN HIGHWAY, TRAVELING 73 MPH WITH EVERYONE AROUND ME GOING EQUALLY AS FAST, IF NOT FASTER, AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN DECELERATING WAS LIKE PUTTING ON THE BRAKES WITH NO BRAKE LIGHTS. IT WAS POSITIVELY DANGEROUS AND SCARY. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, AFTER IT GOT DOWN TO BETWEEN 60 AND 65, IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I PUT MY FOOT TO THE FLOOR AND THERE WAS NO ACCELERATION. I GOT INTO THE RIGHT HAND LANE AS QUICKLY AS I COULD, AND PRAYED THE ENTIRE TIME TO NOT BE KILLED. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES, I WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE UP TO 70. BUT THE CRUISE WOULD JUST KICK OFF AS SOON AS I SET IT AGAIN. MADDENING, DANGEROUS AND SCARY. AND IT HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE. EXACTLY THE SAME WAY EACH TIME. AND ONLY AFTER BEING IN THE CAR WITH CRUISE ON FOR OVER AN HOUR. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AFTER TRAVELING 50 MILES, MY 2008 NISSAN ROGUE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AT THE FIRST STOP LIGHT. THIS OCCURRED AGAIN ON 7/17/2013. I TRAVELED 50 MILES AND AGAIN THE CAR FAILED TO ACCELERATE AT THE FIRST STOP. I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY CLAIM NOT TO HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT OCCURRING IN THE ROGUE. I RESEARCHED VARIOUS FORUMS ON THE INTERNET AND IT SEEMS TO BE PREVALENT IN NISSAN'S CVT TRANSMISSION. THE NISSAN REP SAID THAT "NISSAN DOESN'T SUPPORT GOOGLE" WHEN I TOLD HER WHAT WAS BEING REPORTED ON THE INTERNET. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT PUTS MY FAMILY AT RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY. THE CAR IS SCHEDULED FOR SERVICE NEXT WEEK. I FEAR THAT NISSAN IS NOT BEING ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS ISSUE FROM WHAT I'VE READ. *TR

MY NISSAN ROGUE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES (TOMORROW MAKES 3) TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT IN AUGUST 2012, APRIL 2013 AND NOW AGAIN JULY 2013. I WAS TOLD THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE CRT TRANSMISSION. MY CAR GETS UP TO ABOUT 70 MILES PER HOUR AND THEN I'M LITERALLY PUSH THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND MY CAR WON'T GO OVER 40-50 MILES PER HOUR. NOW MY CAR IS LUNGING FORWARD WHEN IT'S AT A COMPLETE STOP. I ASKED NISSAN WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE TRANSMISSION GOES OUT AGAIN AFTER REPAIRS TOMORROW AND I WAS TOLD THEY WILL JUST KEEP REPAIRING IT UNTIL MY WARRANTY IS UP AND THEN UNFORTUNATELY I'D BE ON MY OWN. *TR

ON 2 OCCASIONS IN A WEEK PERIOD OF TIME AFTER DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT AN HOUR I EXITED THE HIGHWAY VIA AN EXIT RAMP AND STOPPED AT THE STOP LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS STILL IN DRIVE AND THE GAS PEDAL WAS PRESSED DOWN. BOTH TIMES I SCOOTED ABOUT 1MPH OVER TO THE SHOULDER, PLACED THE CAR IN PARK THEN BACK IN DRIVE AND IT ACCELERATED NORMALLY. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER, THEY ARE REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AT NO COST, IT IS STILL COVERED UNDER THE NISSAN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE CVT. THIS ISSUE FRIGHTENED ME AND MADE ME FEEL UNSAFE IN THE VEHICLE. I WORRY HAD I NEEDED TO STOP ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEN ACCELERATE AND WAS UNABLE TO THAT I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT. I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD LOOK FURTHER INTO THE CVT ISSUES AND PERHAPS ISSUE RECALLS AS THESE TYPES OF ISSUES MAKE THE CAR UNSAFE. IN MY INSTANCE THE CAR FELT AS IF IT WERE STUCK IN PARK OR NEUTRAL, IT WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO DRIVE. I HAVE READ ONLINE SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS CONCERNING CVT ISSUES. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE CVT TRANSMISSION IN THE 2008 NISSAN ROGUE IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE CAR LOSES ACCELERATION AFTER TRAVELING A DISTANCE (OVER 40 MILES) AND WHEN IT COMES TO A STOP, IT WILL NOT TAKE OFF. SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 2013 I DROVE FROM COLLEGE STATION, TX TO HOUSTON, TX (85 MILES). WHEN I CAME A STOP SIGN AFTER EXITING THE FREEWAY, I STOPPED AND THEN ATTEMPTED A RIGHT TURN INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. ONCE I DEPRESSED THE GAS, THE CAR ROLLED INTO THE INTERSECTION AND STALLED WITH TRAFFIC BARRELING TOWARD ME. CARS HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID HITTING ME. THIS CAR HAS ALWAYS HAD ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION PROBLEMS SINCE I BOUGHT IT AND NO WARNING LIGHTS EVER COME ON. THE FIRST TIME THE CAR BROKE DOWN WAS ON THE FIRST ROAD TRIP I TOOK IN THE CAR. IN 2012 AS I WAS DRIVING TO ATLANTA, GEORGIA AND THE CAR BROKE COMPLETELY DOWN IN BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA. I HAD TO GET A LOANER FROM THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN BIRMINGHAM TO COMPLETE MY TRIP. THE CVT TRANSMISSION IS A VERY, VERY DANGEROUS TECHNOLOGY AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND A CLASS ACTION SUIT SHOULD BE INITIATED AGAINST NISSAN. NISSAN HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FROM 60000 TO 120000 IN ALL CVT TRANSMISSION VEHICLES. WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS IF THEY DO NOT THINK THERE IS A PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS TURNING FROM A RESIDENTIAL STREET ONTO A MAIN ROAD, WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE THE CAR RED LINED, BUT DID NOT ACCELERATE. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO GO 5-10 MILES AN HOUR. I MANAGED TO PULL OVER WITHOUT GETTING HIT AND HAD TO GET THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AND I WAS TOLD THIS HAD HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES WITH THE CVT IN THE ROGUE. *TR

THE SHIFT REMAINED IN LOCKED WHEN IT'S PARKED AND WILL NOT UNLOCK FOR ME TO DRIVE. LEAVING MYSELF AND MY BABY STRANDED. WHEN I CHECKED ONLINE, IT LOOKS LIKE A KNOWN COMPLAINT BY NISSAN ROGUE OWNERS. THEY SHOULD RECALL THE VEHICLE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AS IT'S DANGEROUS TO HAVE SUCH A DEFECT. *TR

WHILE ME AND MY CHILD WERE TRAVELING UPHILL ON A BUSY FREEWAY, I NOTICED THE CAR WAS DECELERATING. NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESSED ON THE PEDAL TO INCREASE THE SPEED, THE CAR CONTINUED TO SLOW DOWN. MANY CARS BEHIND US HAD TO SWERVE FROM HITTING US AND HONKED FOR US TO MOVE OUT OF THEIR WAY. UNFORTUNATELY, IT WAS BEYOND MY CONTROL AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. A COUPLE OF GUYS HAD TO MOVE OUR VEHICLE OUT OF HARMS WAY. IT WAS VERY STRESSFUL AND DANGEROUS. I'M SO GLAD WE WERE NOT HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. I ENDED UP REPLACING THAT TRANSMISSION WITH A USED LOW MILEAGE TRANSMISSION WHICH WORKED FOR A WHILE. IT IS GOING ON A YEAR AND I'VE BEEN TOLD THE CVT TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AGAIN. I'VE ALREADY SPENT THOUSANDS ON THIS PART ALONE. IS THERE ANYTHING ANYONE CAN DO ABOUT THIS FAULTY PRODUCT. I CAN'T AFFORD TO SPEND ANY MORE MONEY ON ANOTHER FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSION THAT WILL GO BAD AGAIN. *TR

OUTSIDE PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE STOPPED WORKING. HAVE BEEN READING TONS OF COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER ROGUE OWNERS WHO ARE ALSO HAVING THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND NISSAN IS NOT HONORING THESE DEFECTS AND FIXING THEM. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. AT WHAT POINT DOES A RECALL HAVE TO BE ISSUED WHEN THIS PROBLEM IS SO INCREDIBLY PREVALENT?? WE NOW HAVE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. NOW WE'RE JUST WAITING FOR THIS TO OCCUR AT SOME POINT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AS WELL!!!! APPARENTLY THE LINKAGES WITHIN THE DOOR HANDLE MECHANISMS ARE FAULTY AND "FALL APART" IS WHAT I AM GATHERING FROM EVERYONE ELSE'S COMPLAINTS. PLEASE MAKE THIS A RECALL. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE CAR WOULD LOSE ACCELERATION WHEN DRIVING AND ALSO WHEN STARTING TO GO FROM BEING STOPPED. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS DRIVING AROUND 60 MPH ON HIGHWAY AND THE GAS PEDAL WAS FULLY TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT INCREASE IN SPEED. THE CAR LOST SPEED AND DECREASED DOWN TO 45 MPH. WHEN GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY AT THE END OF THE EXIT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS. 5 SECONDS LATER THE CAR THRUSTED INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AS POWER KICKED BACK IN. AFTER SEVERAL PHONE CALLS TO NISSAN AND TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AT AROUND 60,000 MILES. CARE WAS GOOD FOR ABOUT 8 MONTHS BUT STARTED HAVING SAME ISSUE. HAVE HAD THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP 10 - 12 TIMES WITH SAME ISSUE AND TO THIS DAY IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. THEY USUALLY STATE THEY CAN NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. TEST DROVE THE CAR WITH THEIR TOP MECHANIC AND GOT THE ACCELERATION ISSUE TO HAPPEN. THEY MECHANIC SAID NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HE DRAINED FLUIDS SAYING THE LEVEL WAS TO HIGH. 6 MONTHS LATER SAME ISSUES AGAIN. TRIP AFTER TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAY THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND SEND US ON OUR WAY. LAST TIME 3 OTHER CUSTOMERS WERE AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH SAME ISSUE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. *TR

I OWN A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE WHICH I PURCHASED NEW. THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT HAS RECENTLY STARTED BLINKING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A FAILURE OF THE OCCUPANT PASSENGER SENSOR. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SAME MODEL YEAR FOR THE SAME ISSUE (CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 08V521000) BUT THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE LISTED IN THE RECALL IS THE EXACT SAME FAILURE EXPERIENCED IN THE VEHICLE. THEN THE DEALER TOLD US THAT IT WOULD COST AROUND $3000 TO REPAIR!!! WE HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN BUT SO FAR THEY HAVE NOT AGREED TO DO ANYTHING. SINCE DAY ONE, THE PASSENGER SENSOR HAS ALWAYS BEEN ERRATIC AND OFTEN WOULD NOT WORK WHEN A PASSENGER WAS IN THE SEAT. WE MENTIONED IT TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES BUT THEY NEVER AGREED TO FIX IT. NOW THE ENTIRE AIRBAG SYSTEM IN THE CAR IN NOT FUNCTIONING AND IS CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR
