STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS HIGHWAY DRIVING FOR 40 MILES WHEN MY NISSAN ROGUE STARTED TO GET LOOSE AND MAKE AN ODD NOISE WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES. THE RODE WAS DAMP IN PLACES, BUT NOT ENOUGH TO ENGAGE THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES. TRAVELING ON, IT WOULD OCCASIONALLY REPEAT THE NOISE AND WOBBLE. 60 MILES INTO THE TRIP, I WAS TRAVELING 55 MPH AND NOT APPLYING THE BRAKES WHEN THE STEERING GOT EXTREMELY WOBBLY AND I HAD LITTLE CONTROL OVER THE CAR. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO EVEN PULL OVER. ONCE I GOT IT STOPPED, I CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK AND HAD TO PULL UP TO READ A ROAD SIGN AND THE STEERING WAS STILL WOBBLY JUST PULLING FORWARD. IT WAS TOWED TO THE NEARBY NISSAN DEALER WHO WORKED ON IT FOR OVER 3 HOURS AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I ASKED IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS OR PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL AND WAS TOLD, "NO." *TR

POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE'S CVT TRANSMISSION REGULARLY ENTERS "SAFETY MODE," TRIGGERING A SUDDEN LOSS IN POWER AT HIGH SPEED (75MPH+). NISSAN AWARE THAT THE ISSUE EXISTS AND IS WIDESPREAD, BUT WAITS FOR COMPLAINING CUSTOMERS TO COME TO DEALERSHIP TO INSTALL A TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN
MY 2009 NISSAN ROGUE IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH BEING UNABLE TO ACCELERATE WHEN GOING UP AN INCLINE WITH SPEEDS OF 55MPH AND ABOVE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR ALMOST A YEAR. I'LL BE DOING 60-75MPH AND THEN I NOTICE THAT MY FOOT IS ON THE FLOOR BOARD AND I'M LOSING SPEED. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED (JULY 11, 2013) I LOST ALL SPEED AND HAD TO PULL OFF THE INTERSTATE. IT WAS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. ON TOP OF IT I WASN'T ABLE TO GET MY CAR TO START FOR 20 MINUTES. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AFTER IT HAPPENED WHO SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE, AND HE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. THE LOSS OF SPEED HAS HAPPENED ON AT LEAST 5 OCCASIONS SINCE LAST SUMMER. *TR

AIR BAGS, SEATS
THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY INDICATES THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS OFF WHILE THE SEAT IS OCCUPIED BY AN ADULT. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM FOR WHICH A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR 2007-2008 NISSAN ROGUES AND MANY OTHER NISSAN MODELS. THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM. *TR

VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY NOTHING MORE THE 50MPH. AND MY SUNROOF EXPLODED ON THE HIGH WAY WITH OUT NOTICE. THE GLASS CUT MY SKIN ON MY HAND. AND WAS A LOUD EXPLODING SOUND. AS I DONE RESEARCH ON MY EXPLODING SOUND ROOF INCIDENT ON GOOGLE ON THE INTERNET. I FOUND OUT I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS EXPERIENCED THIS SUNROOF GLASS EXPLODING WHILE DRIVING. NOTHING FELL ON MY CAR. BUT CAUSED GLASS TO FALL ON ME AND ALMOST A ACCIDENT FROM SHOCK OF THIS HAPPENING. I AM BEGGING YOU TO PLEASE MAKE THE 2009 NISSAN ROGUE SUNROOFS A RECALL. BECAUSE I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH NOT TO DIE. BUT THERE MAY NOT BE SOMEONE ELSE THAT IS LUCK. I JUST GOT GLASS CUTS. I SPOKE TO NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME 800 DOLLARS TO FIX A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. *TR

AIR BAGS
WE WERE ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE THE PROPELLER SHAFT TO THE REAR WHEELS AS THE UNIVERSAL JOINTS HAD WORN OUT AND THE PROPELLER SHAFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS UP IN THE AIR ON A HOIST.THE IGNITION WAS IN THE OFF POSITION, FRONT & REAR BOLTS TO PROPELLER SHAFT WERE REMOVED, ONE OF THE TWO BOLTS FOR THE MID-SHIP MOUNT WAS OUT. OUR TECHNICIAN THEN HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A FIRECRACKER GO OFF. WHAT WE FOUND WAS THAT THE SIDE AIR BAGS HAD DEPLOYED! WE THEN ACCESSED THE FAULT CODES IN THE SRS SYSTEM AND FOUND THE FOLLOWING. B1211 ROLLOVER DETECTION, B1081 & B1086 PRETENSIONER RT FT & LT FT (OPEN),B1145 & B1150 CURTAIN MODULE (OPEN), B1177 FT RT SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER, & B1018 OCCUPANT SENSOR (UNIT FAIL). WHEN WE CHECKED WITH THE NISSAN DEALER IN KALAMAZOO, THEY SENT US A TSB, DATED 01/27/2014 # NTB08-055C WHICH ADDRESSES PROBLEMS NISSAN IS HAVING WITH ALL VEHICLES!! WE HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS INSTANCES OF THIS HAPPENING TO OWNERS OF NISSAN'S. WE WERE USING NO POWER TOOLS ON THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I FEEL THAT THESE BAGS ARE DEPLOYING ON PEOPLE AND CAUSING ACCIDENTS NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. THESE VEHICLES NEED TO BE RECALLED. WE HAVE SAVED THE PARTS THAT WERE REPLACED TO GET THE VEHICLE REPAIRED, FOR YOUR INSPECTION. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS FROM NISSAN OWNERS, ON LINE, THAT THE SIDE AIR CURTAINS HAVE DEPLOYED, AT STOP LIGHTS, WHEN SHUTTING DOORS, DRIVING OUT DRIVEWAYS ETC. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR LOOKING INTO THIS MATTER. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AFTER A VERY COLD DAY IN TENNESSEE, THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGERS SIDE DOORS IN MY NISSAN ROGUE WOULD NO LONGER OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. AFTER VISITING THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT THE BRACKET AND THE CABLE ACTUATOR IN BOTH DOORS HAD GONE BAD AND THAT THE COST FOR THE REPAIR WOULD BE OVER $1,000. THE FACT THAT THIS IS NOT CONSIDERED A SAFETY HAZARD AND THAT NISSAN IS NOT STANDING BEHIND ITS PRODUCT IS APPALLING. WHILE THERE HAS NOT BEEN AN ACCIDENT YET, THIS MALFUNCTION COULD BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN EMERGENCY RESPONDER (OR HELPFUL CITIZEN) BEING ABLE TO GET TO SOMEONE FOLLOWING AN ACCIDENT OR VEHICLE FIRE. NOT ONLY IS THIS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD FOR THIS REASON, IT ALSO PRESENTS PERSONAL SAFETY ISSUES WITH TRYING TO CLIMB INTO THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE TO OPEN THE VEHICLE?S FRONT DOOR. THIS CREATES OPPORTUNITIES FOR ROBBERY AND ABDUCTION. NISSAN HAS FAILED TO STAND BEHIND ITS PRODUCT BY NOT PROVIDING TO ITS CUSTOMERS A VOLUNTARY RECALL TO REPLACE, AT THEIR COST, THE PARTS WHICH ARE CAUSING THE SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

ON DEC.30 2013 WENT TO OPEN FRONT DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AND HEARD A POP AND DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN, HAD TO CRAWL THROUGH PASSENGER SIDE TO OPEN DOOR. THE NEXT DAY WENT TO OPEN PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND SAME THING HAPPENED. I TOOK OFF DOOR PANEL AND COULD SEE WHERE THE CABLES HAD COME OFF. TOOK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID ON BOTH SIDES THE CABLES HAD POPPED OUT OF THE LATCHES. THEY CHARGED ME $500.00 TO FIX BOTH DOORS. HAPPENED AGAIN IN MARCH 2014 ON PASSENGER SIDE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ONE DAY, THERE WERE NO ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. THE FOLLOWING DAY, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE, THE CAR EXHIBITED EXTREMELY POOR ACCELERATION FROM A STOP (I.E. STARTING A CAR IN 4TH GEAR). THE CAR WOULD VERY SLOWLY ACCELERATE TO ~25MPH, THEN BEGIN TO PERFORM BETTER. CLEARING AN INTERSECTION FROM A STOPPED POSITION TOOK UP TO 5-10S LONGER THAN IT SHOULD HAVE. ALSO DETERMINED THAT THE CAR NO LONGER HAD FUNCTIONING BREAK LIGHTS. CAR WAS NOT SAFELY USABLE. SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL, BASED ON INTERNET SEARCHES. THE DEALER CLAIMED INITIALLY TO HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE AT ALL OF THIS ISSUE. DEALER REPLACED BRAKE PEDAL SWITCH AND PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. REPAIR WAS NOT DONE UNDER WARRANTY, BUT WAS DONE UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY, SO I STILL HAD TO PAY TO HAVE THIS KNOWN, SAFETY CRITICAL ISSUE REPAIRED. *TR

DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER DOORS FAIL TO OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TO OPEN BACK PASSENGER DOOR AND MANUALLY ENGAGE THE DRIVER DOOR LOCK FROM THE INSIDE. TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND DEALER STATED THAT THE CHARGE TO FIX BOTH DOORS WOULD BE $650. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS CAN NOT BE A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY NISSAN AND OUR GOVERNMENT. I GUESS WHEN IT COMES TIME TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE I WILL NOT VISIT A NISSAN NOR INFINITY DEALERSHIP. NISSAN SHOULD BE ASHAMED! *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED BETWEEN 70-75 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. AFTER EXITING OFF THE INTERSTATE AND STOPPING AT THE STOP SIGN, I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AND IT STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE MOTOR WAS STILL RUNNING BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. THERE HAVE BEEN TWO OTHER INCIDENTS, 8/9/13 AND 10/10/13, WHEN I WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE AND MY ROGUE STALLS AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND I HAD CARS BEHIND ME AND CARS IN THE RIGHT LANE. I PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND WAS EVENTUALLY ABLE TO GET OVER AND HAD JUST ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND SAT FOR 5-10 MINUTES. I THEN PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND IT DROVE NORMAL. PEOPLE NEED TO BE MADE AWARE THAT THESE NISSAN VEHICLES WILL STALL WITHOUT WARNING AND IT SEEMS TO OCCUR MOST OFTEN WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS SO PASSING VEHICLES ON TWO WAY ROADS CAN BE DANGEROUS! I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY NISSAN THAT IT'S THE TRANSMISSION AND IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSAN.

DEFECTIVE DOOR HANDLE/LOCKING ASSEMBLY. BOTH FRONT DOORS HANDLE ASSEMBLY FROZE UP PREVENTING ME FROM OPENING BOTH DOORS. IT COST ME $480 FOR THE REPAIRS TO BOTH DOORS. IN THE MEAN TIME MY WIFE HAD CLIMB FROM THE BACK SEAT TO PPT HE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS OUT WARRANTY AND NISSAN DID PAY FOR THE COST OF THE PARTS, I FEEL THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED AS A SAFETY RECALL. NISSAN SAYS THERE NO WAY TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN NISSAN AND MOST LIKELY WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM THEM IN THE FUTURE. *TR
