POWER TRAIN
I was driving on a four lane freeway when my transmission (with no warning) started acting strange. The engine started revving like I was stepping on the gas harder, but the car was actually slowing down. It felt like the engine was going to blow so I took my foot off of the gas. I tried to accelrate to get to the exit lane as cars were trying to pass on the left and right. The transmission would catch and start working sort of and then start racing the engine again. I was able to get off of the highway, but it was a very harrowing experience. Even though I was off of the highway I needed to continue to a safe place. The car continued to race the engine, but not really accelerate. Had car towed to dealer. Car needs new transmission. Apparently this is a known defect with these transmissions.

AIR BAGS
The airbag light on the dash started flashing indication something has a malfunction and the light showing passenger airbag is off. The vehicle was taken to Larry Miller Nissan for a $176 diagnostic. They related the passenger sensor for the airbag had failed in the seat cushion and the airbag would not deploy in an accident to protect the passenger. They said $2,526.69 is the cost to fix the problem. This is obviously a safety issue and should be corrected by the manufacturer. This started approximately 10 days ago. The vehicle was taken in on the earliest date available. Is the manufacturer responsible for making sure the airbags function properly in the event of an accident? Thank you

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
2x in 2021 while driving the automated braking system activated, slowing my car suddenly and unexpectedly. Luckily no cars were behind me or there would have been accidents. Both times I was about 5 feet away from an overhead traffic light. After June 2021 incident I brought the car to the dealer, who replaced the distance sensor. This braking happened in September 2021, have not yet contacted the dealer This also occurred once in 2020 however I thought it was a fluke. This seems to be an ongoing and potentially not fixable issue. I am afraid to drive my Rogue.

POWER TRAIN
I was driving on highway when my 2016 Nissan Rogue SV with 60,700 miles and just 5 years old transmission began slipping. The RPMs were jumping up and down when I tried to accelerate and travel with highway traffic at 65mph. I could not get vehicle to travel past 50 mph and once I was safely able to pull off exit, the car which was still in drive, began rolling backwards towards other vehicles on exit ramp. No warning lights ever came on, and there was no prior indication of a transmission failure. No stalling, slipping, lurching, etc. My safety along with my 7 & 2 year old was put at great risk as we could have easily been hit going so slow on an interstate, along with it rolling backwards on exit ramp. It was too unsafe to pull off on highway breakdown lane because it’s too narrow. The vehicle was then towed to Nissan dealership where it was confirmed to be a transmission failure at no fault of my own, but a “mechanical failure” as they described and they fixed.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
While driving on freeway and highway my vehicle suddenly came to an abrupt stop to the point of ABS system turning on as if there was a car in front without any obstacles or any vehicles on the road. It caused whiplash type of injury with each instance. It happened 5 times within 20 minutes. We visited professional body shop without any problems discovered. Since the vehicle was inspected in body shop it had happened twice again, last time on 9/26/21. Pls look into this issue ASAP as it is extremely dangerous situation!!

Nissan issued a Recall Campaign Bulletin on this issue on September 23, 2020 (attached). This issue is caused by a failed electric controlled coupling that transmits driving force to the rear final drive. Under certain circumstances primary failure of this device can lead to secondary failures that can create dynamic instability and loss of traction. The Recall Campaign Bulletin only applies to a relatively small subset of vehicles that are vulnerable to this problem. Please see the repair estimate attached.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
When we added gas, locked pump in gas door, when full it didn’t kick off. The gas ran out inside to the wheel well creating a fire hazard, I took it in for my first servicing and they couldn’t find a problem (I attached a copy of a recall for this years Rogue for this problem). 09-28-21, my 2021 (3,200 miles)Nissan Rogue stalled at the light, it wouldn’t restart and we had to push it out of traffic. Nissan has been sued and recalled the Transmission for all there Models, I filed a complaint over my Nissan Altima having delayed excel-oration as complaints and with repeated class action suits known to Nissan. Nissan continues to put falty transmissions in there vehicles endangering lives.

I contacted Nissan July 2018 and was told there were no reports of the issue I was having... Unfortunately what I've experienced seems to be common. I occasionally work as a self employed artist and on long trips my Rogue will refuse to speed up. It doesn't matter how hard I press the gas pedal. It's like something isn't connecting. Nissan said they couldn't find any reports of this happening but I see many complaints. The suv refuses to go over 20mph, sometimes even lower. This issue has put my life at risk many times and I'm wondering what it will take for something to change!? It happened going uphill multiple times and seems to happen when traffic is at a stop and go. The only recall issue I saw had to do with snow and salt getting in somewhere. This seems to happen when it's warmer outside.

I bought Rogue on the 17th of Sept, 2021. 5 days later something in front on passenger side made noise and my steering wheel went to the right. Mechanic said it was rack and pinion that came loose. It was 2 miles after I got off freeway. I could have killed someone! Or myself.

WHEELS, STEERING, POWER TRAIN
Vehicle is three years old. Never used the spare previously. Had a nail in the tire, so called Nissan Care to come and change it. Nissan Care arrived, used the spare that came with the vehicle and changed the tire. Immediately upon driving it, my wife heard weird noises, including grinding under her feet and grinding near the front right of the vehicle. Some knowledgeable car experts at her work told her she needs to get it checked out. She drove on it for less than 15 minutes before hearing a loud pop from the back, at which point the vehicle started smoking. She drove it to a nearby dealer. The dealer indicated the spare tire was not the same size as the others and because the vehicle has an intelligent all wheel drive system, this caused the rear differential to explode. Nissan RO # 6112906 is the reference number at Martin Nissan in Skokie, IL.

We live in the Ozarks where it is very hilly. We have had several occurrences where we have traveled uphill while in our 2013 Nissan Rogue and we have had to pull over due to issues with the CVT. It is very dangerous when on the highway and the speed limit is 65 and the Rogue won't accelerate past 45 mph. The first time that this happened, we took it to a Nissan dealership and they said that the car needed a cooler kit ($200). We were out of town and they were not able to make the repairs same day so we declined. Our regular auto shop has stated that they see issues all the time with the transmission of the 2013 Rogues. It was recommended to us to get a new transmission but they aren't sure if that would actually fix the issue. They recommended selling the vehicle as Nissan is notorious for not wanting to correct their issues. The most recent incident regarding the CVT was 9/17 when my husband and I were looking to travel for a day trip an hour and a half away. We were unable to make the trip as they were many hills and the CVT made us pull over several times. We were very lucky to be in the right lane and only almost got hit twice. Unfortunately there is not always a safe spot to pull over when the CVT acts up which has left us in on the shoulder of hills. We ended up turning back around after waiting for the engine to cool for a couple of hours. This car is a nightmare.

AIR BAGS
This happened a few years ago. I would always place my purse on the passenger seat when driving. The air bag deactivation sensor would be tripped due to a lightweight item being placed on the passenger seat. One day, approximately 4 years ago, I noticed the light warning that it was deactivating would not turn off. After a couple of months of this still being on, I took it into Coggin Nissan at the Avenues of Jacksonville. As I was getting signed in to the service department, they quoted me $150 just to look at the car. I recounted that it is an obvious safety hazard, as the air bags are involved, and there was a recall for the 2008 Rogue for that very issue. I asked for my car back and left. Then called to place a complaint. Nothing came of it, as the car was our second vehicle, and it is rarely driven. The car was purchased late in 2007, as a flagship Rogue. It has 125,000 miles, and should be able to be driven more often, especially when we have family visiting, but it sits unused except for little jaunts in the neighborhood, or if there is no other recourse.
