POWER TRAIN
BROUGHT OUR VEHICLE TO THE DEALER 6/21/16 TO BE SERVICED FOR FAILURE TO ACCELERATE AFTER COMING TO A STOP AT INTERSECTIONS. AT FIRST WE WERE TOLD IT WAS THE CVT AND WE'D NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THEN THEY REPLACED A VALVE AND SAID IT WAS FINE. TWO DAYS LATER THE CAR JERKS AND SHUDDERS WHILE DRIVING BELOW 45 MPH AND VIOLENTLY SHUDDERS AND SHAKES WHILE STATIONARY; FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS PUSHING IT. MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT WENT ON AFTER THIS. BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE IS A "MISFIRE" AND THAT IT'S COMPLETELY SEPARATE FROM THE PREVIOUS PROBLEM. WAITING TO HEAR THE DIAGNOSIS. SEEING MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH MOST RELATING TO THE CVT. IT'S VERY SCARY TO BE IN THE CAR WITH MY KIDS WHEN IT WAS JERKING AND SHUDDERING.

I WENT TO USE THE JACK PROVIDED BY NISSAN TO CHANGE A FLAT TIRE. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THE JACK HAD EVER BEEN USED. AS I STARTED TO ELEVATE THE VEHICLE HIGHER I NOTICED THE JACK STARTED TO BEND AND COLLAPSE, AS THE SCREW MECHANISM ALSO STARTED TO BEND. THE ATTACHED PHOTOS PROBABLY DO NOT TRULY SHOW HOW MUCH BOTH THE FRAME & SCREW OF THE JACK HAD ACTUALLY BENT. I HAD TO USE ANOTHER JACK TO GET THE FAULTY ONE OUT FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. AFTERWARDS WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF A VICE, I WAS ABLE TO CLOSE THE DEFECTIVE JACK AND IN DOING SO IT SOMEWHAT STRAIGHTENED THE SCREW AND FRAME. THE SCREW WAS SEVERELY CONCAVE, AND THE JACK FRAME LISTED A LOT WITH THE VEHICLE WEIGHT. I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE DOING THIS ON A CONCRETE DRIVEWAY AT HOME. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS FULLY ENGAGED, THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN PARK WITH THE ENGINE OFF, AND I HAD WOODEN BLOCKS BEHIND THE REAR TIRES. MY CONCERN WAS THAT HAD THIS HAPPENED ON THE SIDE OF A ROAD, AND I DIDN'T HAVE A SECOND JACK; OR HAD NOT NOTICED THE BENDING, MYSELF OR ANYONE ELSE IN A SIMILAR SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. IN DOING AN INTERNET SEARCH AFTERWARDS, I FOUND A NUMBER OF OWNERS WHO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR SCISSOR JACK FROM THE SAME MAKE, MODEL & YEAR.

WE WERE TAKING A TRIP TO WASHINGTON DC FROM FLORIDA AND WHEN WE GOT ONTO 95 I TURNED THE CRUISE CONTROL ON TO SET AT 75 ABOUT AN HOUR LATER IT STARTED LOOSING ACCELERATION. TURNED THE CRUISE CONTROL OFF AND KEPT LOSING ACCELERATION . HAD TO LET CARS PASS SO I COULD GET OVER INTO RIGHT LANE TO GET OFF ON EXIT. LET THE CAR SIT FOR 30 MINUTES.PROCEEDED TO HEAD BACK HOME WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL AND CAR DID FINE. VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE. I GUESS SOMEONE HAS TO DIE TO RECALL THIS PROBLEM. I RESEARCHED COMPLAINTS AND THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2010 ROGUES.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WE DROVE AN HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY THE RPMS WENT OVER 4000, AND THE CAR STARTED DECELERATING, WE WERE UNABLE TO GET OR KEEP HIGHWAY SPEED, EVEN WITH PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. LUCKILY WE WERE ABLE TO PULL TO SIDE OF HIGHWAY. AFTER 15 MINUTES IT SEEMED TO FUNCTION, BUT A MILE LATER IT DID THE SAME THING. EVEN WORSE ON ANY SORT OF INCLINE, EVEN SLIGHT. FOR FEAR OF OUR SAFETY, WE HAD TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED 55 MILES BACK HOME. I LOOKED IT UP AND AM WONDERING WHY THERE IS NO RECALL?? OUR SAFETY AS WELL AS OTHERS ALSO ON THE ROAD IS AT RISK!

STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT AND TRY TO ACCELERATE BUT NOTHING HAPPENS, CANNOT GET ABOVE 3000 RPMS. AFTER ABOUT 20 SECONDS, THE CAR BEGINS TO ACCELERATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE SO FAR AND I'M SEEING MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON VARIOUS YEARS OF NISSAN ROGUES. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY NISSAN.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE IN A MOUNTAINOUS AREA, OUT OF NOWHERE MY CAR WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. I HAD TO PULL OFF OF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE CAR TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. NOW THIS IS HAPPENING ON A REGULAR BASIS IF I DRIVE MY CAR FOR LONGER THAN AN HOUR AT 60+ MPH, IT WILL SUDDENLY STOP ACCELERATING. IN ADDITION, IN THE LAST FEW DAYS, AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE INTERSTATE OFF RAMP, I TRIED TO ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP AND THE CAR JUST BARELY MOVED, ENOUGH FOR ME TO HAVE PULLED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, BUT NOT ENOUGH TO KEEP GOING TO GET MYSELF OUT OF THE WAY. I HAD TO QUICKLY REVERSE TO MOVE MY CAR FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. IF THERE HAD BEEN A CAR BEHIND ME AND I WAS UNABLE TO REVERSE I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED OVER AND OVER AGAIN AS AN ISSUE WITH THE CVT. MY CAR IS ONLY A 2013 AND JUST BARELY OVER THE (CRAPPY) POWERTRAIN WARRANTY THAT NISSAN OFFERS ON THIS CAR.

AFTER DRIVING FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME, THE CAR WILL SUDDENTLY AND CONTINUALLY FAIL TO ACCELERATE OVER A CERTAIN SPEED EVEN WITH THE FUEL PEDAL PRESSED TO THE FLOOR. I BELIEVE THE CAR GOES INTO A FAIL SAFE MODE DUE TO AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THIS HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE AND I COULD NOT LONGER EVEN GET UP TO THE SPEED LIMIT

ENGINE, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
STARTED 3 DAY AGO STALLING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND LOSE POWER EVEN WITH THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY DOWN. ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED. THE ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING BUT HAVE TO PUT IN PARK AND TURN ENGINE OFF AND RESTART. HAPPENED 4 TIMES TODAY ON MY WAY TO WORK. YOU LOSE POWER WITH EVERYTHING BUT ENGINE STILL WORKING. CALLED NISSAN TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL BECAUSE THERE WERE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM AND THEY SAID NO. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. NISSAN WANTED ME TO BRING TO DEALERSHIP AND PAY 114.00 JUST TO GET A DIAGNOIS .ONLINE THEY SAID IT WAS A FAIL SAFETY WHICH NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS BADLY HURT OR KILLED.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN DRIVING UPHILL THE VEHICLE ALMOST STALLS AND ACTS LIKE IT IS NOT GETTING FUEL, IT SLOWS DRAMATICALLY AND TAKES AWHILE TO RECOVER POWER. I CANNOT ACCELERATE. IF THERE IS A VEHICLE BEHIND ME, IT GETS VERY CLOSE, VERY FAST. THIS HAPPENS ON REGULAR BLACK TOP ROADS AND DIRT ROADS.THIS VEHICLE ALSO POPS OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING ON ROUGH DIRT ROADS AND UPHILL (I LIVE ON A DIRT ROAD). THIS IS NOT "OFF ROAD DRIVING." BOTH OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE ONGOING SINCE I GOT THIS VEHICLE. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE IT WAS NEW. THEN I THOUGHT I WAS DRIVING INCORRECTLY. NOW I KNOW IT IS JUST THE WAY THE VEHICLE IS. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN THIS VEHICLE.

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED FOR NO APPARENT REASON AT ALL WHILE MY 25YR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING MY 2013 NISSAN ROGUE ON THE HIGHWAY HOME FROM A CHARITY EVENT. WHEN THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, IT CAUSED MY DAUGHTER TO LOSE CONTROL AND HIT THE GUARD RAILS. MY DAUGHTER SUFFERED SEVERE HEAD TRAUMA, BLEEDING AND BRUISES, INJURY TO HER EYE, SCRATCHES AND BURNS FROM WHATEVER THE SUBSTANCE WAS IN THE AIR BAGS. SHE SPENT THE DAY IN THE HOSPITAL WITH NUMEROUS TESTS DONE, HAD SOME SURGICAL PROCEDURES DONE, ON MEDICATIONS. SOME OF HER BRUISES RESULTED IN SWELLINGS AND MORE BRUISES. SHE STILL HAS A LONG WAY TO GO AND IS STILL UNDER THE DOCTORS' CARE. THANK GOD SHE'S ALIVE BUT MY TRUCK WAS A TOTAL LOSS. MY DAUGHTER'S SELF-ESTEEM IS LOW BECAUSE SHE'S HAVING A HARD TIME DEALING WITH THE PAIN, SCARS AND BRUISES. HER SLOW RECOVERY IS STILL AFFECTING HER LOSS FROM WORK AND INCONVENIENCE OF EVEN GETTING TO WORK BECAUSE THE INSURANCE COMPANYHAS DEEMED MY TRUCK A TOTAL LOSS. MY DAUGHTER IS STILL UNDERGOING MORE MEDICAL TREATMENT AND I'M TRYING TO CONCENTRATE ON GETTING WELL AND WORK ABOUT THE MEDICAL BILLS LATER. SHE STILL HAS CONSTANT HEADACHES DAILY BECAUSE OF HER HEAD INJURIES AND NOW LIGHT IS AFFECTING HER WHICH CANNOT BE CONTROLLED EVERYWHERE SHE GOES. AS A MOTHER, I HATE TO SEE MY DAUGHTER IN THIS PAIN EVERY DAY, I FEEL HELPLESS. I WANT MY DAUGHTER TO HAVE A BRIGHT FUTURE, BUT SHE'S ALWAYS SAD OR CRYING BECAUSE OF THE PAIN. THIS IS NOT FAIR.

DURING OUR FAMILY VACATION IN 2015, WE WERE DRIVING THRU GEORGIA AND THE CAR WAS SET ON CRUISE CONTROL. WE WERE IN SOME HEAVY TRAFFIC, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE CRUISE KICKED OFF, THE CAR BEGAN A RAPID DECELERATION, THE RPM'S WENT TO ABOUT 5,000 AND WE ENDED UP CAUSING A TRAFFIC SNARL IN 5 LANES OF TRAFFIC UNTIL WE COULD COAST THIS VEHICLE OFF THE HIGHWAY. LUCKILY FOR US, WE WERE ABLE TO DO SO WITHOUT INJURY TO OUR VEHICLE OR US PERSONALLY. IT BECAME A CLEARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION IN A BIG HURRY! WE CALLED A NISSAN DEALERSHIP CLOSE BY (FOUND ON THE INTERNET) AND SPOKE TO A SERVICE MANAGER. THEY WERE ABOUT TO CLOSE DOWN FOR THE DAY, HE WAS KIND ENOUGH TO GIVE US HIS PERSONAL CELL NUMBER AND TOLD US TO LET THE VEHICLE 'REST' FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES AND THEN IT SHOULD BE FINE TO DRIVE AGAIN. HE EXPLAINED THAT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION 'SAFETY MECHANISM' THAT HAD KICKED IN AND IT'S BUILT TO SLOW THE SYSTEM DOWN TO COOL.WE DISCOVERED MANY WEBSITES DEDICATED TO PROBLEMS WITH THE 2013 NISSAN ROGUE CVT. FAILURE, AFTER FAILURE WERE NOTED, AND NISSAN WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT COSTS. AS THE 3 YEAR 36,000 MILE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED THE CUSTOMER IS FORCED TO COVER THE COST OF REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT. THE AVERAGE COST BEING $4,200 FOR LABOR AND PARTS. QUITE SIGNIFICANT FOR ANY WORKING FAMILY. I AM ASKING FOR GUIDANCE IN THIS ISSUE, AND ANY INFORMATION WOULD BE APPRECIATED WHERE I SHOULD TURN FOR ASSISTANCE IN RESOLVING. AS I STATED ABOVE, I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR/REPLACEMENT. IF THE TRANSMISSION GOES OUT, I WILL HAVE A $22,000 PIECE OF USELESS METAL IN MY DRIVEWAY. MY FAMILY SAFETY IS A HUGE CONCERN, AND DRIVING THIS VEHICLE IN IT'S CURRENT STATE MAKES ME FEARFUL FOR OUR FAMILY'S SECURITY AND SAFETY WHILE DRIVING.

I DRIVE ABOUT 75 MILES TO AND FROM WORK. DURING THE SUMMER, WHEN I USE MY AIR CONDITIONING IN THE AFTERNOON DRIVE HOME AS I EXIT AND COME TO A STOP AT THE FIRST STOP SIGN I GET NO ACCELARATION AFTER THE STOP. THIS BECOMES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN PULLING OUT IN FRONT OF CARS ALREADY TRAVELING IN THE LANE I'M PULLING INTO. THE REST OF THE RIDE HOME AT FUTURE STOPS IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. I NOW HAVE TO WAIT FOR A LARGE GAP IN TRAFFIC TO PULL OUT CAUSING TRAFFIC TO BACK UP BEHIND ME. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR ANYONE DRIVING THE ROGUE WITH THE AC ON FOR LONG DISTANCES. THE TRANSMISSIONS ISN'T SLIPPING, IT SIMPLY HAS NO POWER AFTER THE STOPS. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME ON HOT DAYS IN THE SUMMER WHEN THE AC IS USED FOR THE RIDE HOME.
