VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN
I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND A USED CAR WITH 82K MILES ON IT. AROUND CHRISTMAS I WAS ON MY WAY FROM MODESTO, CA ON THE I-80 BACK TO RENO, NV. I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL SET TO 70 AND WHILE GOING UPHILL THE CRUISE CONTROL SHUT OFF AND I BEGAN LOOSING SPEED REALLY FAST. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR BUT THERE WAS NOTHING. I HAD THE PEDAL FLOORED AND YET I KEPT LOOSING SPEED. AT FIRST IT HAPPENED ONLY ON HILLS, NOW IT'S HAPPENING ON FLAT LAND. I'VE ALSO NOTICED THAT GOING FROM A STOP TO GO POINT MY CAR ALMOST STALLS AS IF IT WERE A MANUAL, IT'S AUTOMATIC. I'VE ALMOST GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT A FEW TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM SAYS THEY, "CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM," SO I'M DRIVING AROUND THIS CAR HOPING FOR THE BEST UNTIL IT GETS WORSE AND ACTUALLY CAUSES AND ACCIDENT OR UNTIL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I DID RESEARCH AND THE SYMPTOMS FROM OTHER ROUGE OWNERS SIMILAR TO MY SYMPTOMS, ALL ENDED UP IN NEW TRANSMISSIONS... *TR

POWER TRAIN
A HIGH-PITCHED WHIRRING SOUND MANIFESTED ITSELF WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, FOLLOWED BY A GRINDING SOUND, ALL COMING FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE TOWARDS THE REAR END. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC, WHO TOOK IT ON A TEST DRIVE. HE ALSO HAD ANOTHER MECHANIC DO THE SAME. BOTH DIAGNOSED IT AS A TRANSFER CASE FAILURE. I THEN TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER. AFTER THE TECH DROVE IT AND INSPECTED THE REAR END, IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A REAR DIFFERENTIAL THAT HAD FAILED. THE CAR ONLY HAS 74,300 MILES ON IT AND IS NOT USED FOR TOWING OR ANY OTHER SIMILARLY-DEMANDING ACTIVITIES. AT THE 50,000 MILE MARK THERE WAS A TRANSMISSION LEAK THAT ANOTHER NISSAN DEALER HAD TO FIX UNDER WARRANTY, BUT ONLY AFTER I CONTACTED NISSAN USA CONSUMER AFFAIRS. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO END TO THE ISSUES WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL CONCERNING THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND RELATED POWER-TRAIN COMPONENTS. IT IS PAST TIME FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO LOOK INTO THE HIGH RATE OF FAILURES WITH THESE MODELS. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A REASON NISSAN HAD TO MAKE A SPECIAL EXTENSION ON THE POWER TRAIN, DOUBLING THE LENGTH AND MILEAGE LIMIT. UNFORTUNATELY, THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS NOT PART OF THE POWER TRAIN AND I MUST PAY $2, 121 OUT OF POCKET FOR THE NECESSARY REPAIRS. *TR

TIRES
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW IN NOV 2011. THERE WAS NO SNOW THAT WINTER. THIS YEAR WAS A NORMAL WINTER. I COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW DANGEROUS IT WAS TO DRIVE IN THE SNOW WITH THIS VEHICLE. ON THE DATE OF THE INCIDENT I LOST CONTROL IN SNOW AND ICE AND NEARLY CRASHED. THE "ALL WHEEL DRIVE" DID NOTHING AT ALL TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I CONTACTED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND FILED A COMPLAINT (#10800081). THEY DO NOT RETURN CALLS AND DID NOT ATTEMPT TO HELP RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I DISCOVERED THAT NISSAN INSTALLED A HIGH PERFORMANCE SPORT "V" RATED TIRE ON THIS LIGHT 4 CYLINDER CROSS OVER. WHEN I CONTACTED DUNLOP THEY DID NOT HESITATE TO ADVISE THAT I REPLACE THE TIRES WITH A GOODYEAR ASSURANCE COMFORTRED TOURING TIRE FOR MAXIMUM WET, DRY AND SNOW CONDITIONS. I FEEL THESE TIRES(DUNLOP HIGH PERFORMANCE SP SPORT 7000 A/S SIZE 225/55/18) ON THIS VEHICLE IN NEW ENGLAND STATES POSE AN EXTREME HAZARD AND DANGER TO OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE AND NISSAN SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR A RECALL.

AIR BAGS
THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD OCCASIONALLY COMES OFF INDICATING DEACTIVATION WHILE THE SEAT IS OCCUPIED AND WHILE DRIVING OR STOPPING. PASSENGERS (ME OR MY WIFE USUALLY) ARE ABOUT 119 POUNDS AND USUALLY SET IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEAT. THE DEACTIVATION LIGHT WOULD SOMETIMES STAY ON THEN OFF WHILE DRIVING OR UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. NISSAN HAS CHANGED THE CAR FRONT SEAT CUSHION ON 24APRIL2010. THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS MORE OFTEN THAN BEFORE. I CONTACT NISSAN ([XXX]). NISSAN REP WOULD NOT RETURN MY CALL.[XXX]ASKED ME TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEAL FIRST THEN CALL HIM BACK. I DID AND LEFT MANY MESSAGES. I GOT NO REPLY BACK. I WANT THIS ISSUE FIXED BEFORE WARRANTY IS OVER. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE HELP ME.

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM
HEATING / AC FAN SUDDENLY STARTED MAKING LOUD NOISES WHEN FAN WAS TURNED ON. THIS IS ON A VEHICLE LESS THAN 6 MONTHS OLD. LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP MECHANIC INVESTIGATES THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM, DISCOVERS THE FAN AREA HAS LEAVES AND DEBRIS IN IT THAT WAS CAUSING THE NOISE. NISSAN REFUSES TO COVER THE DEBRIS REMOVAL UNDER THE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY, LEAVING OWNERS ON THE HOOK FOR HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS OF LABOR TO ADDRESS A DESIGN DEFECT. A BRIEF INTERNET SEARCH REVEALED OTHER ROGUE OWNERS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME PROBLEM. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, THE DEBRIS CLOGS UP AT A POINT BEHIND THE DASH THAT IS ALL BUT IMPOSSIBLE FOR AN OWNER TO REACH HIMSELF. SO WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU ARE PRETTY MUCH GUARANTEED AN EXPENSIVE LABOR BILL FROM THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. EITHER THAT, OR GO WITHOUT HEATING OR A/C. I HAD TO PAY MY DEALERSHIP $85 IN LABOR TO PULL A HANDFUL OF LEAVES OUT OF A VEHICLE THAT IS BASICALLY BRAND NEW. IF NISSAN REFUSES TO DESIGN A CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM THAT WON'T FREQUENTLY CLOG UP WITH DEBRIS, THEY SHOULD AT LEAST COVER THE LABOR FOR DEBRIS REMOVAL UNDER THEIR WARRANTY. *TR

SEATS, ENGINE, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
SINCE APRIL OF 2011 (VEHICLE WAS 4 MONTHS OLD) I HAVE HAD MY CAR INTO NISSAN FOR AUTO LIGHTS NOT FUNCTIONING (NOT SHUTTING OFF WHEN IN DAYLIGHT), MY IPOD TURNS ON WHEN THE AUDIO IS OFF AND THE ELECTRONIC DRIVER SEAT MOVES FORWARD BY ITSELF. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED AND "SERVICED" MORE THAN 10 TIMES ALREADY AND EACH TIME IT IS "CANNOT REPRODUCE ALTHOUGH THEY SEE IT HAPPENING. THE LAST INCIDENT WAS SATURDAY, 12/14/12 WHEN THE SETTING ON THE DASH CHANGED BY THEMSELVES AND MY TRUNK WOULD NOT OPEN WITH THE IGNITION ON. ON SUNDAY MORNING, MY CAR ENGINE WAS LOCKED AND MY SMART KEY NOR THE REGULAR KEY WOULD UNLOCK THE STEERING COLUMN. I WAS OUT OF STATE WHEN IT OCCURRED AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A DEALER IN CT, I LIVE IN NY. NOW THEY CLAIM THAT ALL THE ABOVE WAS CAUSED BY A UNDERSIZED BATTERY. THEY INSTALLED A 700AMP IN MY CAR NOW STANDARD BATTERY THAT CAME WITH THE CAR IS 575 AMP. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE? HOW CAN THEY SAY THIS IS THE ISSUE. HOW CAN THEY MANUFACTURE CARS WITH UNDERSIZED BATTERIES AND NOT HAVE IT ON A RECALL OR ISSUES LIST ANYWHERE? EVEN THE DEALER IN CONNECTICUT WAS PUZZLED. I CANNOT SAY IOF THIS IS GOING TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT I CAN TELL YOU, I WILL NOT TAKE THIS LYING DOWN. NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS IS TOTALLY USELESS AND THERE IS NO CONSUMER IN THIS DEPARTMENT, THEY ARE A WASTE OF TIME. I FILED TWO COMPLAINTS 8 MONTHS APART REGARDING THE SAME ISSUES # 7274639 AND 10257638. BOTH WENT UNRESOLVED AND IGNORED., THEY KEEP CLAIMING THEY ARE WITHIN THEIR WARRANTY GUIDELINES. WHAT GUIDELINES - THE VEHICLE IS AN OBVIOUS LEMON. NOT SURE HOW TO FILE FOR THE LEMON LAW OR ACT ON THIS AS THIS CAR IS UNSAFE AND UNRELIABLE. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *TR

CAR SPUTTERED, LURCHED, AND CAME TO A STOP ON US 190 HIGHWAY. IT REFUSED TO START AND APPEARED TO BE OUT OF GAS. HOWEVER, THERE WAS STILL 1/2 TANK AND TRIP ODOMETER AGREED WITH THE GAUGE. CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THE SOLE ISSUE WAS FOUND TO BE THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR, WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO ONLY AFFECT THE GAS MILEAGE. THE TOTAL COST WAS $700. AN ECONOMY DEVICE THAT CAN CAUSE SUDDEN FAILURE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. SOMETHING APPEARS TO BE WRONG WITH NISSANS CPU CODE FOR THIS VEHICLE. NO WARNING MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE DASH AT ANY TIME. *TR

POWER TRAIN
A FEW MONTHS PRIOR TO MY TRANSMISSION FULLY BREAKING DOWN, I WAS EXPERIENCING EPISODES WHERE MY ROGUE WOULD LOSE ACCELERATION EVEN AS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS PRESSED AS FAR DOWN AS IT COULD. MAINLY THESE EPISODES WOULD OCCUR AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT. I WOULD BEGIN TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATOR NOR WOULD THE RPM'S INCREASE. SUDDENLY, THE "ENGINE" WOULD KICK IN AND I WAS QUICKLY AND FORCEFULLY PROPELLED FORWARD. THERE WERE A FEW EPISODES THAT OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THESE EPISODES WERE MORE FRIGHTENING AND THEY PLACED ME IN A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION OF BEING REAR-ENDED AT HIGH SPEEDS. THEN ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2012, MY FAMILY WAS LEAVING A VACATION TRIP AND HEADING HOME ON OUR 3+ HOUR DRIVE. NOT 2 MINUTES ON THE ROAD DID WE EXPERIENCE VERY LOUD GRINDING, CLUNKING AND ODD BEHAVIOR FROM OUR VEHICLE AS IT ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT GEARS. THIS NOISE/FEELING SEEMED TO MINIMIZE AS WE DROVE OVER 40 MPH UNTIL IT SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER. WE HAD TO ATTEMPT TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH OUR HAZARDS ON, AND THANK GOODNESS NO ONE WAS DRIVING BEHIND US OR I AM AFRAID WE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON A NORTHERN WISCONSIN HIGHWAY. SINCE THIS OCCURRED ON A SUNDAY AT 7:00 AM, WE DID NOT HAVE ANY POSSIBILITY TO TAKE IT TO A NISSAN DEALER OR TO RENT A VEHICLE TO GET HOME. WE WERE FORCED TO CONTACT A FAMILY MEMBER WHO GRACIOUSLY HAD A TRAILER AND DROVE THE 3+ HOURS TO GET US AND THEN TURN AROUND AND TOW US THE 3+ HOURS HOME. AFTER INSPECTION ON THE VEHICLE AT THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP, WE WERE INFORMED OF THE ISSUES AND EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I AM STILL FEARFUL OF WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO MY FAMILY. IT APPEARS THAT MANY PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE HAVE HAD THEIR TRANSMISSION REPLACED 2-3 TIMES. I FULLY SUPPORT A CVT RECALL!!!! *TR

AFTER A PANIC STOP WHICH ACTIVATES THE ABS SYSTEM, THIS VEHICLE IS UNRESPONSIVE TO THROTTLE INPUT FOR AN EXCESSIVE PERIOD OF TIME (10 SECONDS OR MORE). THIS HAS BEEN DEMONSTRATED TO THE DEALER AND A NEW, SIMILAR VEHICLE SHOWED THE SAME PERFORMANCE. THE DEALER INDICATES IT MUST BE INHERENT WITH THE VEHICLE, NO FIX IS AVAILABLE FROM NISSAN.

POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING FROM BALTIMORE TO PHILADELPHIA IN JUNE OF THIS YEAR. AFTER ABOUT 1 HOUR OF HIGHWAY DRIVING MY 2009 NISSAN ROGUE STARTED TO STALL AS I REDUCED SPEED TO GET ON THE RAMP OF ANOTHER HIGHWAY. I WANTED TO PICK UP SPEED IN ORDER TO MERGE ONTO THE NEXT HIGHWAY, BUT MY CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND. I HAD PUSHED THE ACCELERATING PEDAL TO THE METAL AND IT STILL WAS NOT RESPONDING OR RATHER GOING AT 40MPH. I EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND STOPPED THE ENGINE, TO GIVE IT A REST, BUT AS I PROCEEDED THE CAR STILL STALLED. I ENDED UP HAVING IT TOWED FROM MY HOTEL TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP LOCATED 6723 ESSINGTON AVENUE PHILADELPHIA, PA 19153. I WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS TOPPED OFF BUT THEY DID NOT SEE A LEAK. I DROVE THE CAR BACK TO BALTIMORE THE NEXT DAY, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN RECURRING. I HAVE HAD MANY NEAR MISSES) IS NISSAN WAITING TO HAVE FATALITIES IN ORDER TO REACT? I DO NOT WISH TO BE A STATISTIC. *TR
