SERVICE BRAKES
THE BACK BRAKE LIGHTS FAIL TO COME ON. WHEN I HAD THEM CHECKED, THE AUTO MECHANIC SAID THE BULB WAS BURNT. AFTER CHANGING THE BULBS, THE BRAKE LIGHTS STILL DID NOT COME ON. WE CHECKED THE FUSES AND THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE BRAKE LIGHTS STILL FAIL COME ON WHEN THE BRAKES ARE PRESSED. *JS

POWER TRAIN, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS
WHEN DRIVING THE CAR SUDDENLY LOSES POWER, AND DOES NOT ACCELERATE. IF I AM GOING UP A HILL OR HUMP, THE CAR WILL STALL. AT TIMES, HAVE TO FIND AN ALTERNATE ROUTE WHEN DRIVING BECAUSE THE CAR WILL FAIL TO ACCELERATE. I AM AFRAID TO TRAVEL ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS WHERE THERE ARE HILL OR ELEVATED AREAS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY NOT ACCELERATE. I MUST DRIVE SOMETIMES WITH MY HAZARD LIGHTS BECAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHTS OFTEN FAIL TO COME ON. *JS

I HAD DRIVEN MY 2009 NISSAN ROGUE FROM NEW JERSEY TO BOSTON, FAIRLY HEAVY TRAFFIC. AS I NEARED MY DESTINATION, I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. AS I PULLED AWAY TO TAKE A LEFT TURN, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND LIMPED ACROSS ROUTE 1, FORCING HEAVY, HIGH SPEED, ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO STOP. I SPOKE WITH THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT IT IS A PROBLEM AND THAT NISSAN IS NOT OFFERING A SOLUTION. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE NJ DEALER TO LEAVE IT FOR A COUPLE DAYS FOR THEM TO TROUBLE SHOOT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. AND HAD ME PAY TO CHANGE THE FLUID. THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND THE DEALER REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE CAR IS NOT PREDICTABLE AND SAFE TO DRIVE WITH MY 2 YOUNG DAUGHTERS. FWIW, THE DEALER THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION A FEW YEARS AGO UNDER WARRANTY FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. ANY LOCAL DEALER DENIES THIS ISSUE EXISTS DESPITE THE TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY ON THE INTERNET. HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/DIRECT/VIEW/.F213D8F. *JS

THE TRANSMISSION (CVT) IS JUNK. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I CAN NOT ACCELERATE AFTER COMING TO A STOP OR A ROLLING STOP, OR WHEN GOING UPHILL. I HAVE 3 CHILDREN & WE ARE LUCKY WE HAVE NOT BEEN REAR ENDED OR TBONED YET! THE SERVICE DEPT AT THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, SPARK PLUGS, AND CLEAN THE THROTTLE BODY AT A CHARGE! THIS CAR ONLY HAS 38000 MILES! I HAVE EXPLAINED IT UNTIL I AM BLUE IN THE FACE. THEY TEST DROVE IT & IT DID THE SAME THING ON THEM. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE & REALIZED IT IS VERY COMMON. THEY HAVE EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 120,000 OR 10 YEARS. I JUST WANT THE CVT FIXED BEFORE WE ARE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT!

FOR A FEW DAYS I HAD NOTICED A SHUTTER IN MY CAR AS IT ACCELERATED. REALLY SINCE I HAD BOUGHT THE CAR IT HAD VIBRATION PROBLEMS. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 65 MPH ON THE FREEWAY AND GOT ON A RAMP TO MERGE ONTO ANOTHER FREEWAY. WHEN I SLOWED TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC, I COULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THE RPM GAUGE WENT UP TO AROUND 4,000 BUT THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 15 - 20 MPH. BECAUSE OF THIS, I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A TRUCK THAT WAS IN THE DISTANCE OF THE STRIGHT LANE THAT I MERGED INTO. I PULLED IN FRONT OF HIM BUT COULD NOT GO ANYWHERE AND HE WAS FORCED TO MAKE A QUICK SWERVE INTO ANOTHER LANE TO AVOID ME. THE INTERNET IS FULL OF VIDEOS AND COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER NISSAN ROGUE OWNERS THAT ARE HAVIN THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS. MY CAR DOES HAVE A LOT OF MILEAGE AS I TRAVEL ABOUT 1,200 MILES PER WEEK FOR MY JOB AS A TERRITORY MANAGER. HOWEVER, THAT ONLY MEANS THAT ALL THIS MILEAGE IS HIGHWAY MILES AND HAS NOT PUT MUCH PRESSURE ON THE TRANSMISSION. THE OTHER OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AT ANYWHERE FROM 6,000 TO 60,000 MILES. NISSAN HAS DOUBLED THEIR WARRANTIES ON THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS THAT THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED. HOWEVER, BY THE TIME I GOT MINE TO THE DEALERSHIP THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED THAT THE WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN EXTENDED BY NISSAN OR I WOULD HAVE NOTICED THAT I HAD A PROBLEM. NOW THEY HAVE CHANGED PARTS IN THE NEW TRANSMISSIONS BUT WILL NOT ADMIT TO THEIR PROBLEMS IN THE OLD ONES OR DO ANYTHING TO HELP OUT OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THESE PROBLEMS. SOMEBODY WILL BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED BY NISSAN. HOW CAN YOU PUT THIS TRANSMISSION IN CARS KNOWING ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND NOT ISSUE A RECALL? THEY ARE A SERIOUS THREAT TO OTHER VEHICLES. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL FOR 2008-2011 MODELS. THANKS.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND HEARD A GRINDING NOISE ON THE CAR. I ALSO NOTICED CAR WOULD NOT DRIVE AT OPTIMAL SPEED WHEN GAS PEDAL PRESSED TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC. IT FELT SLUGGISH AND AS IT WAS LOSING POWER. I TURNED OFF THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM AND THE CAR STARTED CONDENSATING THROUGH THE EVENTS. NONE OF MY PREVIOUS CAR HAVE DONE THAT BEFORE. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR DRIVE THE CARS HOOD WAS EXTREMELY HOT YOU COULD BARELY TOUCH IT. I FELT SCARED FOR MY FAMILY AS THIS CAR DOES NOT FEEL SAFE AT ALL. DEALER IS NOT TAKING IT BACK AND I'VE NOW HAD THIS TROUBLED CAR 20 DAYS BUT THEY WON'T ADMIT IT'S DEFECTIVE. THEY SAID THEY CAN CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION BUT ONLY BECAUSE ITS UNDER WARRANTY. NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL ALL CVT CARS. *TT

THE "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" WARNING LIGHT IS ON FOR NO REASON. I AM 5'4 AND 120 LBS. SITTING UP STRAIGHT AND TRYING TO PUSH DOWNWARDS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT A MONTH, NO MATTER IT WAS ON THE HIGHWAY OR LOCAL. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN DRIVING MY CAR FOR ABOUT AN HOUR, CAR LOOSES SPEED AND WILL NOT GO FASTER THAN 40 MILES AN HOUR, EVEN WHEN PRESSING PEDDLE TO THE FLOOR. TOOK MY CAR TO NISSAN DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS TOLD COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. ADVISED SERVICE DEPT, YOU WOULD HAVE TO DRIVE FOR AN HOUR, THEN THE PROBLEM WOULD REPEAT. THE DEALER DID MAINTENANCE ON MY VEHICLE ON 09/11/12 (DRAINED AND FILLED CVT WITH NEW FLUID). AT THIS TIME MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY HAD A FIX FOR THIS KNOWN ISSUE AND I WAS NOT ADVISED. TOOK MY CAR BACK ON 08/24/13 DUE STILL HAVING SAME ISSUE WITH CAR LOOSING SPEED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS TOLD, "GOOD NEWS THERE IS A FIX, BAD NEWS YOUR CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. WHILE MY CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED. *TR

THE VEHICLE LOST ALL ACCELERATION ONCE IT REACHES A CERTAIN HEAT WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION, CAUSING MY CAR TO DECELERATE RAPIDLY WITH NO OPTION TO ACCELERATE TO GET OUT OF HARM'S WAY. IT HAS NOW OCCURRED TWICE, PUTTING MYSELF AND PASSENGERS IN IMMINENT DANGER. NISSAN HAS SAID THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

MY ROGUE IS HAVING INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATION AFTER DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT DOES IT WHEN IT SLOWS AND YOU TRY TO START GOING AGAIN AND IT DOES IT WHEN YOU STOP AFTER BEING ON THE HIGHWAY AND TRY TO START GOING AGAIN. IT DOES NOT DO IT EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY EITHER. I PUSHED THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. FREQUENTLY, IT WAS STUCK AT A THE SPEED IN WHICH THE CAR WAS IN BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. AFTER EXITING THE FREEWAY THERE WAS ALSO TROUBLE WITH ACCELERATING. ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS A STRANGE WHIRLY NOISE. THIS CONTINUED SPORADICALLY FOR SEVERAL MILES. *TR

HELLO: MY NAME IS [XXX] I AM THE PROUD OWNER OF A 2011 ROGUE WITH APPROXIMATELY 21,000 MILES. BUT I HAVE A VERY SERIOUS COMPLAINT SINCE I HAVE THE OWNED THE VEHICLE MY FIANCE HAS HAD TO TAKE OFF TO BRING THE CAR IN FOR THE TPMS SENSOR UNIT NEARLY EVERY OTHER MONTH SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS COST THE FACTORY ON OR ABOUT $200.00 PER VISIT. WHEN THE WARRANTY ELAPSE IS NISSAN SAYING THIS WILL BE ON ME? IS THERE A CALL BACK ON THIS MALFUNCTION? IS THERE A RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM OR HAS THE PROBLEM BEEN ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE IS FATALLY INJURED? THE DEALER IS SAYING THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BUT WITHOUT AN RESOLUTION., JUST BRING IT IN. BUT THEY ARE NORMALLY REPLACING THE SENSOR UNIT EACH TIME. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY CAR WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. I HAD ARRIVED HOME AT 3:30PM ON A SATURDAY. THE NEXT MORNING AT 10:00AM, I WENT TO MY CAR TO FIND THAT SOMETHING HAD EXPLODED INSIDE. THERE HAD BEEN A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FIRE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE, INCLUDING THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT, THE DASH, AND THE LOCATION OF THE AIRBAG. MY BEST GUESS AS TO WHAT HAPPENED IS THAT THE AIRBAG EXPLODED (NOT DEPLOYED), CAUSING A FIRE, WHICH DAMAGED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AND CAUSED A LOT OF COSMETIC DAMAGE. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF THE AIRBAG, OTHER THAN SOME SPRINGS, IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE IT SIMPLY DEPLOYED. THE INSURANCE COMPANY HAS DEEMED IT A TOTAL LOSS. I FEEL THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NISSAN SHOULD COVER, NOT ME OR MY INSURANCE COMPANY. BUT I CANNOT DETERMINE WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED OR HOW TO PURSUE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST THEM. THANKFULLY, NO ONE WAS INJURED. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THE DIRE WAS SELF-CONTAINED, AND THE ENTIRE CAR DIDN'T EXPLODE. *TR

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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
