NISSAN IS COVERING-UP A VERY SERIOUS AND ON-GOING PROBLEM WITH ITS CVT TRANSMISSION. I BOUGHT A 2014 NISSAN ROGUE NEW IN MAY 2014. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 70,700 MILES ON IT. AFTER ONLY 24 MONTHS, THE CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED AND, ACCORDING TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIPS, I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AT A COST OF $4,000. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IMPLIED (BUT WOULD NOT STATE DIRECTLY) THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH NISSAN'S CVT TRANSMISSION WHICH HAS BEEN ON-GOING FOR 10+ YEARS. HOWEVER, MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND I MUST PAY FOR THE NEW TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT FAIL AFTER 24 MONTHS. NISSAN SHOULD ADDRESS THE SYSTEMIC PROBLEM WITH ITS CVT TRANSMISSIONS AND EXTEND ITS WARRANTY FOR CVT TRANSMISSIONS AS IT DID IN 2010 FOR NISSAN VEHICLES IN MODEL YEARS 2003 TO 2010.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE IN A MOUNTAINOUS AREA, OUT OF NOWHERE MY CAR WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. I HAD TO PULL OFF OF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE CAR TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. NOW THIS IS HAPPENING ON A REGULAR BASIS IF I DRIVE MY CAR FOR LONGER THAN AN HOUR AT 60+ MPH, IT WILL SUDDENLY STOP ACCELERATING. IN ADDITION, IN THE LAST FEW DAYS, AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE INTERSTATE OFF RAMP, I TRIED TO ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP AND THE CAR JUST BARELY MOVED, ENOUGH FOR ME TO HAVE PULLED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, BUT NOT ENOUGH TO KEEP GOING TO GET MYSELF OUT OF THE WAY. I HAD TO QUICKLY REVERSE TO MOVE MY CAR FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. IF THERE HAD BEEN A CAR BEHIND ME AND I WAS UNABLE TO REVERSE I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED OVER AND OVER AGAIN AS AN ISSUE WITH THE CVT. MY CAR IS ONLY A 2013 AND JUST BARELY OVER THE (CRAPPY) POWERTRAIN WARRANTY THAT NISSAN OFFERS ON THIS CAR.

AFTER DRIVING FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME, THE CAR WILL SUDDENTLY AND CONTINUALLY FAIL TO ACCELERATE OVER A CERTAIN SPEED EVEN WITH THE FUEL PEDAL PRESSED TO THE FLOOR. I BELIEVE THE CAR GOES INTO A FAIL SAFE MODE DUE TO AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THIS HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE AND I COULD NOT LONGER EVEN GET UP TO THE SPEED LIMIT

ENGINE, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
STARTED 3 DAY AGO STALLING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND LOSE POWER EVEN WITH THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY DOWN. ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED. THE ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING BUT HAVE TO PUT IN PARK AND TURN ENGINE OFF AND RESTART. HAPPENED 4 TIMES TODAY ON MY WAY TO WORK. YOU LOSE POWER WITH EVERYTHING BUT ENGINE STILL WORKING. CALLED NISSAN TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL BECAUSE THERE WERE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM AND THEY SAID NO. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. NISSAN WANTED ME TO BRING TO DEALERSHIP AND PAY 114.00 JUST TO GET A DIAGNOIS .ONLINE THEY SAID IT WAS A FAIL SAFETY WHICH NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS BADLY HURT OR KILLED.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN DRIVING UPHILL THE VEHICLE ALMOST STALLS AND ACTS LIKE IT IS NOT GETTING FUEL, IT SLOWS DRAMATICALLY AND TAKES AWHILE TO RECOVER POWER. I CANNOT ACCELERATE. IF THERE IS A VEHICLE BEHIND ME, IT GETS VERY CLOSE, VERY FAST. THIS HAPPENS ON REGULAR BLACK TOP ROADS AND DIRT ROADS.THIS VEHICLE ALSO POPS OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING ON ROUGH DIRT ROADS AND UPHILL (I LIVE ON A DIRT ROAD). THIS IS NOT "OFF ROAD DRIVING." BOTH OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE ONGOING SINCE I GOT THIS VEHICLE. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE IT WAS NEW. THEN I THOUGHT I WAS DRIVING INCORRECTLY. NOW I KNOW IT IS JUST THE WAY THE VEHICLE IS. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN THIS VEHICLE.

AIR BAGS, SEATS
I HAVE BEEN REQUESTING NISSAN REPLACE THE SEAT CUSHION IN MY ROGUE SINCE THEY INSPECTED IT IN 2015. THEY HAVE REFUSED. NOW I SEE THERE IS A RECALL, AIR BAG OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS), AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED AND DO NOT SEE MY VEHICLE IN THE RECALL NOTIFICATIONS!!!!! I NEEDS MY SEAT CUSHION REPLACED, OR THE AIR BAG SENSOR WILL NOT ACTIVATE THE AIRBAG IN A COLLISION. I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, CAR WILL LOSE POWER. WE PRESS THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND CAR DECELERATES; THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO POWER. THE LAST INCIDENT OCCURRED 5/13/2016. WE WERE DRIVING AT ABOUT 80MPH; WE WERE ON A FLAT STRETCH OF ROAD AND THE CAR COMPLETELY LOST POWER; SPEED WENT DOWN TO ABOUT 40 MPH. FINALLY REGAINED SPEED ON FLAT STRETCH OF ROAD BUT EVERY TIME WE HIT A SLIGHT INCLINE WE WOULD LOSE POWER. PART OF THE TIME WE WERE ON A TWO LANE HI-WAY AND CARS WERE BACKING UP BEHIND US. THEN, AFTER GOING ALONG WITH NO PROBLEMS FOR A PERIOD OF TIME WE PULLED OF AT AN EXIT. AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN WHEN WE TRIED TO MOVE GAS PEDAL WENT TO THE GROUND AND CAR DID NOT MOVE-THEN IT LURCHED SUDDENLY AND ACCELERATED. LATER IN THE DRIVE-ON A FLAT GROUND GOING 80 MPH CAR LURCHED AND DECELERATED --AS I SAID, THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE; THIS LAST INCIDENT WAS MOST FRUSTRATING AS WE WERE ON A LONG ROAD TRIP AND FEELING VERY UNSAFE

MY 2011 NISSAN ROUGE STARTED DECELERATING ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO WHEN I HAD APPROX. 81,000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 95 DOING 70 MPH WHEN THE POWER SUDDENLY DECREASED AND THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE AND MAKING BANGING NOISE. FORTUNATELY I WAS NEAR A SHOULDER AND COULD PULL OVER. AS DAYS WENT ON THIS OCCURRED MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY UNTIL IT HAPPENED EACH TIME I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE OVER 40. I AM NOW FORCED TO TAKE BACK ROADS WHEREVER I GO SO I DON'T RISK CAUSING/BEING IN AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR IS UNSAFE AND I'M ON BORROWED TIME BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION GOES COMPLETELY. I CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION RIGHT NOW AND I NEED TO GET TO WORK. I STARTED RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM AND COME TO FIND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN, DANGEROUS DEFECT BY NISSAN. I'M UPSET AND EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED THAT THE CAR MAKER HASN'T RECALLED THE AFFECTED CARS AND FIXED THEM. IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED.
