ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I have had this 2011 Rogue in a repair shop 6 times for the same issue and each time the technician replaced the air flow sensor because of “ code reading “ the rogue lost power without warning and stalls at red lights. My most recent repair the technician stated the cruise control spring needed replaced and could be the issues with sudden power loss . I have had the O2 sensor replaced, catalytic converters replaced, starter, alternator and MAS with the problem returning within 3 months . The Rogue is very dangerous and I am filing a complaint in hopes other people do not sink thousands of dollars into a bad vehicle!

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEATS
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Code: B1018, OCS Sensor failure in passenger seat which controls the passenger airbags. Passenger side airbag light kicks on thinking there is a "child" or something light in the front seat which disables the airbag. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Passenger side airbag light kicks on thinking there is a "child" or something light in the front seat which disables the airbag. This is a known issue of the manufacturer but yet the refuse to include other years of these vehicles in their recall. There even has been a lawsuit on their "fix" because they just continue to use the same sensors even when replacing the recalled vehicles sensors. They also expect you to pay 2700 to replace an ENTIRE seat cushion to replace said sensor. I am sorry but poor people do not have that kind of money laying around. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes was reproduced and confirmed by a local Nissan Deal. They even cleared the code and within 2 weeks it appeared again in the same way/format. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Air bag warning light and the passenger side airbag light kicks on thinking there is a "child" or something light in the front seat which disables the airbag.

The contact’s daughter owns a 2011 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the air bag warning light intermittently illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the air bag sensor needed to be replaced however, the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000. The contact stated that the light came on intermittently at first but now it is on all the time. There is no recall on this issue so the contact would have to pay out of pocket for the repairs.

The CVT transmission would over heat numerous times in uphill drive after 30 miles driving. The overheating would result in sudden slowing of vehicle and loss of acceleration even when acceleration pedal is fully pressed. It puts vehicle to danger because it can be in front of fast moving vehicle. It also makes exiting a freeway and stopping merging into traffic dangerous because vehicle stops responding to driver commands.

My son was driving our 2011 Nissan Rogue that only has 58K miles on it. At first you could just feel a difference in the accelerator pedal and the transmission shifted gears. The car was shaking bad at 45 miles per hour when the car was warm. The gears started making noise during certain shifts in the transmission and sounded like driving over a rumble strip in the road, then would vibrate the same at about 55 miles per hour. The noise changed so when the car switches gears the noises would change in pitch. When it drives the noise is loud and you can feel it rock when the transmission is switching gears. You have to grip the steering wheel. If you consistently drive the noise and shaking would get worse and would make squeaking sound. When breaking the car rocks and hesitates as it downshifts. We first took the car to pep boys and they changed the front axle. They did a thorough check under the vehicle and everything look like normal wear and tear. There were no leaks. The car moved somewhat smoother drive wise, but there consistent mechanical problems were still the same. We took the car back to pep boys for the same issues and we replaced all the tires, brakes, checked wheel bearings, they did another thorough check and the transmission fluid was fine and there were no leaks. They did finally do a good test drive to and recommended a full replacement of the transmission. We then took the car to Nissan for another opinion and they said it was the transmission and that we had problems with the axles, even though we just had the axles replaced. Nissan ran full diagnostics and there are no codes or an engine light and the computer was good. We definitely don’t think these are normal problems. 1. The car only has 60K miles and has regular upkeep and maintenance. 2. It is definitely a safety hazard with the shaking and rocking and feeling like it won’t break in time. At this point it even does it at low speeds. It is not safe!

Just bought my 2011 Nissan Rogue today and drove around off and on all day with no issues. I went to my son's house for approximately 5 minutes (left car running) and when I went to leave I had no acceleration. I tried pushing on the gas pedal with no luck. It literally coasted about a block before it finally stopped moving. I made a few phone calls and was told to shut the car off for about 5 minutes (which I did) and then turn it back on (which I did) and I put it in drive and it was all of a sudden fine. I feel as if there has been more than enough complaints regarding this issue with the 2011 Nissan Rogue and nhtsa should address this matter with Nissan who should be held accountable for this. I personally bought the vehicle based on all the good things I was told about it but now, not even 24 hours after buying it, I am regretting my decision. I should have stuck with my kia soul (she never let me down)!! I feel this is a HUGE safety issue

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, STEERING
Drove home, while attempting to park, (car was in motion) vehicle stalled & steering locked, lights on dash flicked off, radio went off then came back on. This happened 4 times while I attempted to park. Finally parked vehicle successfully & turned car off. This happened several times in recent months but only for a few seconds also on another occasion was unable to turn steering wheel once vehicle was on. Tonight was the worst experience, alarming. I plan to take SUV in for check up tomorrow.

Passenger seat Occupant sensor has failed. Yes, available for inspection. This sensor communicates with the Airbag system. The front passenger airbag is disabled due to the fault. The problem has been reproduced, I have followed the process of resetting the DTC and 2 weeks later the DTC has returned. No inspection beyond owner. Vehicle producing DTC B1018 This relates to the occupant sensor which shuts off the airbag when the seat is occupied by a child or small enough adult. Nissan has had several recalls for this sensor in other models and years of this vehicle. Due to poor design the only repair is replacing the entire passenger seat at a cost of over $2000.

The CVT transmission shuts off for no reason. The engine revs up like crazy but the power convertor does not do its job of transmitting power to the driveshaft. Turns out that the CVT transmission went into shutdown mode for no reason - I was driving downhill, in an empty car, with no load at 65 mph.

AT APPROXIMATELY 90,000 MILES THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG FAILURE WARNING LITES ACTIVATED. THE LITE IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND ON THE DASHBOARD IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER ARE BOTH INVOLVED. i AM TOLD BY THE DEALER (MARK) AT DAYTONA NISSAN, THAT THE CAR IS PROBABLY UNSAFE FOR PASSENGERS.. IN RESEARCHING I FIND THIS IS NOT A NEW PROBLEM, THAT IT HAS BEEN THE CASE FOR SOME YEARS, AND THIS HAPPENS TO PRACTICALLY ALL NISSAN ROGUES AND IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT CALLS FOR SEAT REPLACEMENT TO THE TUNE OF 2 TO 3 GRAND. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SOME YEARS AND IS KNOWN TO THE MFG. THEY CHOOSE TO NOT FIX IT. HOW MANY HAVE TO DIE B4 YOU FOLKS TELL NISSAN TO RECALL.

Im having issues accelerating since i purchased the car, the transmission is bad , there is cut electric wires by the brake and gas pedal. When breaking there's knocking, pinging, the brakes shakes. I almost got into 4 accidents with my family and child. I was told by dealer it was the reg gas i put in the tank but then got carfax history and seen a mechanic and was told transmission is bad the light is on dash. At 25mph the rpm jumps up and down. Gas tank reads incorrectly.
