POWER TRAIN
DRIVING AT 70 MPH GOING UPHILL THE CAR, WITH NO WARNING OR INDICATION, SLOWED DOWN TO 25 MPH. PRESS THE PEDAL FULLY WOULD NOT MAKE THE CAR GO ANY FASTER. IT WAS IN THE SUMMER SO IT WAS VERY HOT IN CALIFORNIA. WHEN YOU ON THE FREEWAY WITH TWO BABIES THE LAST THING YOU WANT IS YOUR CAR SLOWING DOWN TO 25 MPH. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT NEEDS A TRANSMISSION COOLER. IT TOOL 3 MONTHS FOR THEM TO GET THE PART. THEY INSTALLED IT IN THE WINTER AND OF COURSE IT IS NOT HOT ANYMORE. THIS SUMMER WE DROVE OUT TO ARIZONA DURING A RECORD HIGH HEAT WAVE AND ONCE AGAIN THIS TIME DRIVING 75 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON, IT DISENGAGED AND I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR DOWN AND THE CAR SLOW TO 60MPH ON FLAT GROUND. THEN ON A SLIGHT INCLINE THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN TO 45MPH IN A 70MPH ZONE. OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT WITH MY FAMILY. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A CAR THAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. SO I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY SAID SORRY WE CANNOT HELP YOU. THEY DO NOT EVEN OWN UP TO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. DO NOT BUY THIS CAR! NISSAN ROGUE 2012 TEST DRIVE THEM IN THE HOTTEST PART OF THE SUMMER AND I WOULD RECOMMEND TO DRIVE IT UPHILL DURING THIS TIME.

2012 NISSAN ROGUE CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE ACCELERATING ON A 2 LANE MERGE FROM ONE INTERSTATE ONTO ANOTHER PUTTING THE OCCUPANTS AT RISK WHILE ATTEMPTING TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. NISSAN HAS A LONG STANDING ISSUE WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION THAT ALLEGEDLY WAS RESOLVED AFTER A REDESIGN. NISSAN ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE (NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY D/T MILEAGE BUT DECLINED TO APPLY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WAS IN PLACE FOR EARLIER MODELS). DEALER REPAIRED AT A COST OF 1/4 OF THE VEHICLE COST WAS FOR A REBUILD, WARRANTY FOR THIS ONLY COVERS 1 YEAR/12K. NOT MUCH COMFORT REGARDING LONGEVITY OR PERSONAL SAFETY WITHIN THIS VEHICLE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. THE CAR STARTED TO DECELERATE FROM ABOUT 68 MPH DOWN TO 40 MPH. I WAS PRESSING THE PEDAL DOWN MORE AND MORE TO TRY AND ACCELERATE BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. IT JUST KEPT GOING SLOWER AND SLOWER AS THE MINUTES PASSED BY. SOON I WAS DRIVING SLOWER THAN THE BIG SEMI'S AND I HAD TO PULL TO THE LAST LANE (SLOWEST LANE) BECAUSE I COULD NOT KEEP UP WITH THE REGULAR FLOWING TRAFFIC. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENS TO ME. I HAD THIS PROBLEM LAST YEAR AND NISSAN HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. NOW WITH A NEW TRANSMISSION AND 30,000 MILES INTO IT, THE SAME THING IS BEGINNING TO HAPPEN. I TRULY BELIEVE THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS IN NISSAN ARE DEFECTIVE AND UNRELIABLE. I CANNOT DRIVE MY CAR FOR 2 HOURS BEFORE THIS PROBLEM BEGINS. EVERYTHING ON THE PANEL INDICATES THAT THE CAR IS PERFORMING FINE BUT THEN IT GOES INTO THIS "AUTO SHUT OFF" MODE AND THE CAR STOPS PERFORMING CORRECTLY.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE IS REGARDING THE FUEL GAUGE READING INCORRECTLY. FOR EXAMPLE A FULL TANK WILL GIVE ME A RANGE OF 235 MPG, WHILE IT SHOULD BE OVER 300 MPG. I HAVE 2012 NISSAN ROGUE AWD. 2ND TEST WITH THE TANK HAS 3/4 OF A TANK AND THE RANGE WAS AROUND 189 MPG. I WENT TO NISSAN DEALER AND TESTED SAME YEAR AND MODEL WITH HALF OF A TANK AND GAVE ME 165 MPG. DEALER ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND THERE IS NO RECALL ON IT. QUOTE FOR REPAIR: $119. TO DIAGNOSE. $420. FOR SENDER UNIT AND SUB-SENDER UNIT (VEHICLE IS AWD) AND $263. FOR LABOR. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON IT TO FIX THAT ISSUE AND NOT TO CHARGE PEOPLE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS.

ENGINE
ACCELERATION PROBLEMS, WHEN STEPPING ON GAS VEHICLE CRAWLS AND WHINING NOISE FROM ENGINE SOUNDING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. HAD IT LOOKED AT WHEN NEW WITH CLUNKING NOISE FROM ENGINE AT DEALER. THEY SAID THEY NOT SEEN ANY PROBLEMS WITH ROGUES AND CLAIMED A ROAD TEST WAS DONE AND NO NOISES WERE HEARD FROM TECHS. NOISES HAVE CONTINUED AND NOW HAVING SEVERE PROBLEMS ACCELERATING TO EVEN 30MPH. PROBLEM SEEMS TO COME AND GO QUITE FREQUENTLY, MOST OCCURRENCES HAPPEN AFTER A LONG ROAD TRIP. VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED REGULARLY, INCLUDING TRANSMISSION FLUIDS AND OIL CHANGES AS RECOMMENDED. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO WHERE DEALERS CLAIM NOTHING WRONG WITH VEHICLES. DOES A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR DEATH HAVE TO HAPPEN TO FINALLY ACKNOWLEDGE SEVERAL PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE. GOOGLE SEARCHES WILL SHOW MANY FORUMS OF SAME COMPLAINTS... *JS

POWER TRAIN
LOST POWER GOING UPHILL ON A FREEWAY. COULD NOT GET OFF THE FREEWAY AS I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE. CAR MADE WHINING SOUNDS BUT WOULD NOT GO UPHILL. I WAS PRESSING GAS WITH NO EFFECT JUST NOISE. TURNED ON MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS AND STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE LANE CAUSING BACK UP. GLADLY I HAD CELLPHONE SIGNAL AND WAS ABLE TO CALL A TOW. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE ON THE NEW VEHICLE WITH 8K MILES. AFTER THE TOW TO THE DEALERSHIP IT STARTED AND DROVE NORMALLY. GOOD THING THAT DEALER WAS CLOSED AND I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TEST IT. I WILL TAKE IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER FOR CHECK UP BUT NEW CARS SHOULD NOT LOOSE POWER LIKE THAT ON THE FREEWAY. *TR
