POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
WAS DRIVING MY 2011 ROUGE HOME ON A 120 MILE TRIP ON THE INTERSTATE AND AFTER ABOUT AND HOUR OF DRIVING THE CALL SUDDENLY REFUSED TO ACCELERATE PAST 3000 RPM. THERE WAS ABOUT 20 MILES BETWEEN EXISTS AND THIS BECAME A SAFETY CONCERN WHILE TRYING TO CLIMB AN INCLINE; THE CAR DECELERATED FROM 70 MPH TO 45 MPH AND I COULD NOT DO ENOUGH TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF OTHER TRAFFIC. AFTER 15 MILES OR SO OF DRIVING, IT RETURNED TO NORMAL. IT HAS SINCE OCCURRED 3 MORE TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE FOR TRIPS OVER AN HOUR. I TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP ON 4/21/14 AND WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE NO CODES WERE PRODUCED. *TR

TWO MONTHS PRIOR TO BURN OUT, VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR CVT FLUID FLUSH. WAS NOT AWARE OF RECALL UNTIL AFTER INCIDENT OCCURRED, AFTER CONTACTING NNA. ALSO WAS EXPERIENCING LOSS OF POWER WHEN DRIVING UP HILLS OR SPEEDS ABOVE 70 MPH. I MENTIONED TO DEALERSHIP, THEY ADVISED TO GET CVT TRANNY FLUID FLUSHED AND REFILLED. RECALL WAS NEVER ADDRESSED TO ME AT PREVIOUS NISSAN SERVICE VISITS. NNA HAS DENIED "PRODUCT LIABILITY." MY SISTER AND I WERE FORTUNATE TO MAKE IT OUT OF A FLAMING, ROLLING FIREBALL. FIREFIGHTERS PINPOINTED EXPLOSION AND FIRE TO POWER STEERING ELECTRIC CONTROL. VEHICLE IS A TOTAL LOSS AND INCIDENT IS YET TO BE INVESTIGATED, INSURANCE CURRENTLY IN BEGINNING PHASES. BE CAREFUL IN THE ROGUES PEOPLE!! *JS

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAD BEEN DRIVING APPROXIMATELY AN HOUR IN 90 DEGREE WEATHER ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 65 MPH WHEN MY NISSAN ROGUE LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. WITH THE ACCELERATION PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND EVENTUALLY STOPPED ALTOGETHER, CAUSING ME TO ATTEMPT MANEUVERING AROUND CARS GOING OVER 70 MPH TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I WAS ALMOST STRUCK TWICE. AFTER 20 MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AGAIN AND DRIVE AT 40MPH TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD TODAY IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AND IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED COSTING ME $1000. PREVIOUS MODELS OF THE ROGUE THROUGH 2010 HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OFFERED FOR THIS ISSUE THROUGH 120,000 BUT MINE IS A 2011 AND I WAS TOLD I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF. I HAVE CONTACTED 1-800-NISSAN1 AND FILED A COMPLAINT. THIS IS INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING AND DANGEROUS. *TR

FROM STOP TO TRYING TO CROSS A INTERSECTION VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING. IF ANOTHER CAR WAS COMING A LOSS OF ACCELERATION CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINT FOR THE SAME ISSUE POSTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET. FROM 2008 TO 2013 MODELS. IT SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE AND NO RECALL YET. I HOPE THEY DO NOT WAIT UNTIL A DEATH OCCURS. *TR

THIS IS THE SITUATION THAT HAPPENED WITH MY VEHICAL TOO, THE BELOW STATEMENT IS ANOTHER PERSONS COMPLAINT AS WELL AS MINE. I HAVE A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE BUT MY TRANSMISSION WAS INSTALLED IN OCT 2010, I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUES THAT ARE HAPPENING WITH THE 2010 RECALL . THEY ARE GETTING THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND I FEEL THAT THE 2011 SHOULD GET THE SAME EXTENDED WARRANTY SUMMARY: THE 2011 ROGUE IS THE CAR WE USE FOR LONGER TRIPS WHEN WE'RE NOT FLYING. ABOUT TWO HOURS INTO A LONG INTERSTATE TRIP IN MAY 2013 WE STARTED TO HEAR A HIGH PITCHED WHINE FROM THE TRANSMISSION WHENEVER WE WOULD ACCELERATE TO GO UPHILL OR PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. SHORTLY AFTER WE STARTED HEARING THAT NOISE THE TRANSMISSION WAS UNABLE TO "DOWNSHIFT" (TECHNICALLY CVTS DON'T DOWNSHIFT) AND WE LOST POWER. WE COULD STILL MAINTAIN A REASONABLE SPEED ON LEVEL TERRAIN, BUT WE WERE BARELY ABLE TO MAINTAIN SPEED GOING OVER SMALL HILLS. WE WOULD HAVE OUR FOOT PLANTED ON THE ACCELERATOR BUT NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN, ACCELERATION WISE. ONCE WE'D STOP, TURN THE CAR OFF, WAIT A FEW MINUTES, THEN START THE CAR AND GET BACK TO DRIVING, EVERYTHING WOULD BE FINE. BUT AFTER A WHILE OF EXTENDED DRIVING THE PROBLEM WOULD RETURN. THIS ISSUE HAS SHOWN UP A FEW TIME SINCE THEN BUT ALWAYS DURING EXTENDED DRIVING SESSIONS AND NEVER ON THE DAY-TO-DAY SHORT COMMUTES, WHICH HAS MADE IT FRUSTRATING TO TRACK. IN DOING A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH WE FOUND MANY OTHER ROGUE OWNERS DESCRIBING OUR EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS, AND EVEN SOMEONE THAT POSTED A YOUTUBE VIDEO DURING THEIR PROBLEM. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION STARTED CLICKING MID-MARCH 2014. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE IS A 2011 WITH 85,000 MILES - IT SHOULD NOT NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND IS CURRENTLY OUT OF WARRANTY. THE COST OF REPLACEMENT IS $3,000. THE PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS 2003-2010 WARRANTY'S WERE INCREASED TO 10 YEARS 120,000 MILES DUE TO ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. IT APPEARS TO ME THAT THE ISSUE WAS NOT FIXED AND WARRANTY'S AGAIN SHOULD BE EXTENDED FOR OWNERS OF MODEL YEAR 2011 AND BEYOND. NISSAN SHOULD STAND BY THEIR VEHICLES AND REPAIR AND REPLACE WHEN ISSUES ARISE. *TR

HAD BEEN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE FOR 35 MINUTES. EXITED THE OFF RAMP AT A RED LIGHT SO THE VEHICLE WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP. WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED THE ROGUE WOULD NOT GO. I HAD TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND START IT BACK UP. IT SEEMED TO RESET ITSELF. HAD A SIMILAR INCIDENT IN THE SUMMER OF 2013 WHEN IT WAS 90 DEGREES DROVE FOR 90 MILES TRIED TO PASS SOMEONE ON THE INTERSTATE AND COULD NOT GET IT TO GO OVER 50 MPH WHEN THE SPEED LIMIT IS 70. HAD TO PULL OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 65 AND 70 MPH, THE 2011 ROUGE WITHOUT WARNING JUST SHUT DOWN (LOST POWER) PULLED OVER AND SAT THERE FOR 10 MINUTES AND IT STARTED AND RAN FINE. THREE WEEKS LATER, IT HAPPENED WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING IT. IT SHUT DOWN (LOST POWER), PULLED OVER SAT AND THEN RESTARTED THE CAR. NO WARNING LIGHTS, NOT WARNING OF ANY KIND, ALL GAUGES WERE NORMAL. THIS COULD CAUSE ONE TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR EVEN DEATH. I HAVE SEEN WHERE OTHER NISSAN CARS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT, RECALLED FIXED, AND SOON BEFORE IT CAUSES INJURIES. 66,000 MILES IS WHEN IT STARTED HAPPENING. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR ANYWHERE DUE TO THE RISK OF INJURY I AM PUTTING MYSELF AND OTHERS IN. PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT AND DO SOMETHING BEFORE IT IS TO LATE FOR SOMEONE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN BRAKES WAS APPLIED IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED MOMENTARILY AND BRAKES HAD TO BE DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR AT WHICH POINT THE VEHICLE EASED INTO A STOP IN A VERY UNTIMELY AND UNSAFE MANNER. SOMETIMES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKES HAVE TO BE APPLIED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, THE VEHICLE RESPONDS VERY SLOWLY AS IF THE BRAKES HAD NOT BEEN APPLIED. OTHER TIMES THE VEHICLE STOPS ABRUPTLY AS IF THE BRAKES HAD BEEN APPLIED AGGRESSIVELY. WHILE STOPPED UPWARD FOR ABOUT A MINUTE AT A SLIGHTLY INCLINED HILL AND BEHIND ANOTHER VEHICLE IN ORDER TO OBEY A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE VEHICLE PROPELLED FORWARD AS IF THE BRAKES WAS NOT CURRENTLY APPLIED. THE BRAKES HAD TO BE RE-APPLIED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CURRY NISSAN DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE TO REPORT THE PROBLEM AND SET AN APPOINTMENT FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. ALSO, I INFORMED THE ATTENDANT AT THE DEALER THAT THERE ARE A FEW COMPLAINTS FILED ONLINE THAT WERE ADDRESSING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I EXPERIENCED WITH THE BRAKES OF THE NISSAN ROGUE 2011. THE ATTENDANT RESPONSE WAS THAT NO ONE HAD BROUGHT SUCH PROBLEM TO THEIR ATTENTION. BELOW ARE SOME LINKS TO THE PREVIOUSLY FILED COMPLAINTS.

WE WERE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH. CAR BEGAN BUCKING, HAD A HIGH PITCHED WHINING AND LOST ALL POWER IN ACCELERATION, TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. WE IMMEDIATELY DROPPED TO 20 MPH. WE WERE ALMOST REAR-ENDED IN TRAFFIC. HAD TO MOVE TO SHOULDER AND HAVE CAR TOWED. DEALERSHIP GAVE US 800 NUMBER TO CALL NISSAN SINCE THE 2008-2010 MODELS HAVE HAD THE SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. NISSAN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THOSE BUT REFUSED TO EXTEND WARRANTY ON 2011 WHICH HAS THE SAME TRANSMISSION. THE CAR GAVE NO WARNING AT ALL. THIS PROBLEM COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. NISSAN NEEDS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. JUST READ ON EDMUNDS.COM FORUM THAT MANY NISSAN ROGUE OWNERS ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT ANY WARNING. *TR
