POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
My 2016 Nissan Rogue shakes terribly when it goes over 60 mph. This has been happening for over a year. I have twice taken it to garages for repair, most recently this week. They replaced the axels but this did nothing and they told me they have been reviewing Nissan service bulletins. They said they know the year of my car has had numerous transmission issues. So as of now, I can't drive my car at a speed over 60 mph. I don't feel safe driving it but don't want to shell out more money for speculative solutions that probably won't work and will just cost me more money.

POWER TRAIN
Have a 2016 Nissan rogue with about 49,000 miles. About two months ago, started experiencing judder when truck got above 50 miles an hour. Took it to a local mechanic where they performed a diagnostic and let us know there was a transmission problem. They advised to speak to the Nissan head office directly because there was a known transmission issue for that particular year, make and model. On 11/12/2024, called Nissan USA, spoke to Ashley in their consumer affairs department where a claim was opened. Ashley took information on the truck and based on the mileage said there was a possibility of a goodwill being offered. The truck had to be taken to one of Nissan’s service locations to have a diagnostics performed which was done on 11/20/2024. Once done and $200 later, Nissan confirmed that the transmission had to be replaced for about $8000. Consumer affairs received the diagnostic report and made the decision that despite the low mileage, they could not extend the warranty as a courtesy to us. I find it unfair that I have a vehicle that was drivable a few weeks ago, and with no fair warning, started having the same transmission problems that Nissan was sued for and settled for the same make and model. Please help me find some justice. Thank you.

It needed to be replaced.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
While driving home from work, the Nissan went from 50mph, suddenly down to 4mph. (literally 4mph) Pressing the gas down all the way would not allow the car to move any faster. It would occasionally get up to 15mph, but wouldn't stay. I was LUCKY beyond belief that a car or semi didn't hit me at highway speed before I could move over in rush hour traffic. Both the local dealership and Nissan USA executive offices concluded that this does not fall within the extended warranty forced on them by the NTHSA for many, many similar incidents. The dealer, asking like it was an oil change, asked if I wanted a new $9k transmission. As I can't afford anywhere near that, nor is the car worth it, I was required to drive it home from the dealership, again putting my life at risk. IN ADDITION - a recall repair was requested (the driver door wiring harness) - and the dealership told me that it was completed. They did not complete this recall either. Nissan should not be allowed to make vehicles in the USA. If they actually stood behind their product and made repairs and replacements when there are manufacturing issues, I would feel much better about the situation. For now- I want to ensure no one I care about actually dies from driving a Nissan.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I was driving down the road and suddenly my back right passenger window imploded, it sounded like a gunshot going off it was so loud and sudden. There had been no previous damage to the window and I was on a completely paved road with no construction or other vehicles near for anything to have hit the window. The glass went inside all over my back seat and even into the trunk area, if my children had been in the backseat they could have been seriously injured and I could have swerved due to being startled but luckily I was able to safely pull over. I took it to the Nissan dealership to see if they could inspect it to see if it was a defect or fault of the vehicle and they told me there was nothing they could do that I would just need to file a claim with my insurance.

POWER TRAIN
The vehicle began experiencing difficulties accelerating especially in instances where acceleration was necessary as in merging onto highways. The car began jerking through acceleration and consequently revving sporadically. I took the vehicle in and was informed the entire transmission needs to be replaced. The car is just passed the warranty in both mileage and the year so the dealership offered no assistance.

SUSPENSION
The left rear suspension arm has failed. This part supports the left rear tire and wheel assembly and its failure cause the left rear tire and wheel to tilt to about a 45 degree angle. The car was able to be safely stopped, although control was severely effected. Continued driving would likely have caused the tire and wheel to separate from the vehicle. See attached photo. It appears as if the rear suspension arm welds have broken and or the part has failed due to corrosion. It is a 2016 vehicle with only 105,000 miles. See attached photos. The last photo shows the right rear suspension link, undamaged, to illustrate the extent of degradation on the left side. The Girard Nissan dealership in Groton, CT informed me they have seen a number of cars with this problem, but there has been no recall. The provided a verbal order of magnitude estimate to repair the vehicle, based on photos, at $4,000 or higher.
