UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN THREE WEEKS THIS HAS HAPPENED. WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE SHUT OFF DUE TO RUNNING OUT OF GAS. THE PROBLEM BEING THAT THE GAS GAUGE SAID I HAD OVER 1/4 TANK OF GAS LEFT. I HAD CALLED THE DEALER TO FIND OUT WHAT COULD BE WRONG AND I WAS TOLD IT MAY BE THE FUEL SENDING UNIT OR THE ACTUAL GAS GAUGE THAT'S FAULTY. I'VE READ THAT OTHER INDIVIDUALS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE NISSAN ROGUE'S GAS GAUGE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
COLD DAY IN NYC. THE 2008 NISSAN ROGUE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR FAILS TO OPEN. AT FIRST I USED THE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM. THEN I TRIED TO USE THE KEY AND IT WILL STILL NOT OPEN. I HAD TO GO AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE TO GET INTO THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY AT NIGHTS AND DIMLIT AREAS. I HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY CHARGED ME $250 TO FIX PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THIS NEW MODEL IS SUPPOSED TO BE UNDER WARRANTY. NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A NISSAN AGAIN. *TR

THE ACCELERATION IS VERY DELAYED FROM PRESSING ON THE GAS. SOMETIMES WE HAVE HAD TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION TO GET IT TO RESPOND. IT HAPPENS ABOUT EVERY 2 TO 3 DAYS AND WILL LAST THROUGHOUT THE DRIVE. IT IS STILL DRIVABLE, BUT IS VERY DANGEROUS. ESPECIALLY WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. WE HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIME ALREADY. THE FIRST TWO THEY COULD NOT FIX IT, THE THIRD THEY THOUGHT THEY FOUND AND FIXED THE PROBLEM, BUT 4 DAYS AFTER THAT IT STARTED TO HAPPEN AGAIN, TODAY I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND ALMOST GOT HIT BY A CAR SINCE THE VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE. *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL, SEATS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY WIFE AND I LEASED A 2008 NISSAN ROUGE TWO YEARS AGO. AN ISSUE HAS SINCE TRANSPIRED. IN OCTOBER OF 2009 WE NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT OCCASIONALLY GOES ON REGARDLESS OF THE SIZE OF THE PERSON SITTING THERE. THIS LIGHT INDICATES THAT THE AIRBAG IS OFF. WE TOOK IT TO NISSAN AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. OVER THIS LAST YEAR THE ISSUE CONTINUES TO ARISE. I DECIDED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN THIS PAST MONDAY WITH A ROUTINE CHECK. PRIOR TO MY DROPPING THE VEHICLE OFF I DECIDED TO RECORD IT ON MY PHONE AS WE WERE DRIVING SEEING AS THOUGH I COULD NOT BRING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AS SOON AS IT WAS HAPPENING. AFTER THE CAR WAS THERE FOR A FEW HOURS, I GOT A CALL BACK SAYING THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND THEY ARE READY TO RELEASE. I AM STILL NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING THE VEHICLE SO I LEFT IT THERE AND CALL CUSTOMER AFFAIRS. FINALLY AFTER 4 DAYS, THEY RETURNED MY CALL. THEY INDICATED THAT THEY SPOKE TO THE SHOP AND ARE NOT AUTHORIZING ANY REPAIRS OR PAYING FOR THE RENTAL VEHICLE AS THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND ARE SAYING THAT MY 125 LB WIFE MAY BE TOO LIGHT TO ACTIVATE THE BAG SENSOR. *TR

STRUCTURE, STRUCTURE:BODY, VISIBILITY
WHILE DRIVING ~65MPH ON THE INTERSTATE IN STEADY TRAFFIC ON DRY ASPHALT, THE PASSENGER-SIDE REAR DOOR WINDOW "EXPLODED." THE PASSENGER SEATS WERE IN THE DOWN (FLAT) POSITION; MOST OF THE GLASS FELL IN TO THE CAR, BUT ENOUGH BLEW OUT OF THE CAR TO EMBED IN/SCRATCH THE EXTERIOR PAINT. NISSAN DEALER IN THE AREA OF OUR TRAVEL VACUUMED THE GLASS OUT OF THE CAR AND LOOSELY COVERED THE WINDOW SPACE WITH MASKING TAPE AND PLASTIC SEAT COVERS (THE KIND USED TO COVER THE SEAT FOR TRANSPORT AND/OR GARAGE WORK). SINCE THIS WAS A ROAD TRIP SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES FROM HOME, WE HAD TO REINFORCE THE PLASTIC COVER JOB WITH HEAVY CARDBOARD, ADDITIONAL PLASTIC, AND TAPE SO WE COULD DRIVE THE INTERSTATE AND PROTECT THE CAR FROM FURTHER DAMAGE, WIND, AND RAIN. I CONTACTED MY HOME DEALERSHIP TO ADVISE OF THE INCIDENT AND REQUEST THAT PARTS BE ORDERED TO MAKE REPAIR ASAP AFTER I RETURNED HOME AND TO FIND OUT IF INCIDENT IS COVERED BY FACTORY WARRANTY. REPAIR IS DELAYED BY HOLIDAY WEEKEND; WARRANTY COVERAGE HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED. LUCKILY, WE HAD NO BACK SEAT PASSENGERS. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
ELECTRONIC DOOR LOCKS ON MY 2008 NISSAN ROGUE HAVE FAILED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS RENDERING THE ELECTRONIC LOCKING MECHANISM INOPERABLE. NISSAN HAS REFUSED TO SERVICE MY VEHICLE WITHOUT EXORBITANT REPAIR FEES. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO THE FOLLOWING: 1. HAVING A SECURE ENVIRONMENT IS PARAMOUNT IN CERTAIN NEIGHBORHOODS. WHEN LOCKING THE DOORS IT'S IMPERATIVE NOBODY CAN GAIN ACCESS AT WILL BY WALKING UP TO THE CAR. IF ANYONE CAN SIMPLY OPEN THE DOOR TO GAIN ACCESS, CARJACKING, INJURY, OR EVEN MURDER IS EASIER. IF THE DOORS LOCKED PROPERLY THIS PROVIDES A MORE SECURE ENVIRONMENT. 2. NISSAN KNOWING THERE IS A SECURITY PROBLEM WITH THEIR LOCKING MECHANISM AND NOT RECALLING THEM FOR SAFETY CONCERN IS NEGLIGENT. IT'S AN OPEN DOOR TO A LAWSUIT IF SOMEONE WERE TO BE MURDERED DUE TO A DOOR THAT DIDN'T LOCK, ALTHOUGH THE DRIVER PUSHED THE LOCK BUTTON AND HEARD THE LOCKING NOISE. REMEMBER, IN THIS CASE THERE'S NO OBVIOUS INDICATION THE DOOR ISN'T LOCKED UNLESS SOMEONE WALKS UP AND OPENS IT FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE DRIVE "THINKS" THE DOOR IS LOCKED, WHEN IN REALITY IT'S AN "OPEN DOOR" FOR CARJACKING OR ROBBERY. THIS FAILURE IS AN INTERMITTENT OF OPERATION. SOMETIMES THE DOORS LOCK OK, OTHER TIMES THEY DON'T. IN ADDITION, SOMETIMES THE DOORS UNLOCK OK, OTHER TIMES THEY DON'T. 3. IN EMERGENCIES IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO UNLOCK DOORS QUICKLY. SINCE 99% OF THE TIME WE ALL USE THE BUTTON TO LOCK AND UNLOCK DOORS, USING THE MANUAL LOCKING LEVER IS UNFAMILIAR. IN EMERGENCIES EVERY SECOND COUNTS. THE LOCKING/UNLOCKING SOLENOID MALFUNCTIONING IS CLEARLY A HIGH RISK IN EMERGENCY SCENARIOS. SOME PEOPLE WHO CANNOT AFFORD THE $1600 TO HAVE ALL THE SOLENOIDS REPLACED (AS QUOTED BY DEALER). THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN NOTED BY OVER 300 CONSUMERS, OWNERS OF THE NISSAN ROGUE, MURANO, MAXIMA, AND OTHERS.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I PURCHASED A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE SL AWD IN 2008. I BEGAN HEARING A NOISE EMANATING FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 6000 MILES. THE NOISE OCCURS CONSISTENTLY WHEN DECELERATING FROM ABOUT 40 MPH TO 5 MPH. AS THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO DECELERATE, THE NOISE SOUNDS LIKE A RATTLING AGAINST METAL. THE NOISE CHANGES TO A GRINDING SOUND LIKE METAL RUBBING AGAINST METAL AS THE VEHICLE LOSES SPEED. THE GRINDING SOUND APPEARS MORE PRONOUNCED WHEN AT A SLOW SPEED, SUCH AS WHEN TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT. SERVICE MANAGER ACKNOWLEDGES THE NOISE BUT HAS NO EXPLANATION FOR IT AND SAY NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAS A FIX FOR IT, SO I TOOK IT IN FOR THE FACTORY FIX AND HAVE NOTICED THE NOISE IS STILL THERE. I BELIEVE THE NOISE COMES FROM THE CVT TRANSMISSION, AND IT IS PROBABLY CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE CVT BELT OR THE CVT BELT SLIPPING ON THE VARIABLE PULLEYS. EITHER CAUSE COULD LEAD TO CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE CVT BELT AND RESULT IN AN IMMEDIATE AND TOTAL LOSS OF RESPONSE TO DRIVER ACCELERATOR INPUT. MY NISSAN ROGUE CURRENTLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 17000 MILES, AND THE NOISE IS BECOMING MORE EVIDENT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
THE ABS AND SLIP LIGHTS ILLUMINATE ON THE DASH AND THE ABS SYSTEM BEGINS TO ENGAGE RANDOMLY. THE CAR BUCKS AND JOLTS AS IT SLOWS DOWN RAPIDLY. THIS OF COURSE IS VERY UNSAFE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES OVER THE PAST MONTH. THE DEALER HAS HAD THE CAR A COUPLE WEEKS AT A TIME AND CAN'T RECREATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY WON'T REPLACE ANY PARTS. THE DEALER CLAIMS THIS IS A DECISION MADE BY NISSAN AND IF THE DEALER REPLACES THE PARTS THEY WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM. WE EVEN PROVIDED THEM VIDEO TAPE FROM A PHONE OF THIS OCCURRING. THE SERVICE MANAGER TELLS US NISSAN HAS NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WHICH IS HARD TO BELIEVE WHEN THERE ARE MANY WEB-SITE POSTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM IN MANY NISSAN VEHICLES. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL SOMEONE IS CRITICAL INJURED OR KILLED. *TR

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
ON MY 2008 NISSAN ROGUE MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY COMING ON. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS JUST FOR THEM TO TELL ME THE WERE NO "CODES" AND THAT THEY JUST RESET IT. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY SAY THE ONLY DOCUMENTED OCCURRENCE IS THE LAST ONE FROM LAST WEEK BECAUSE IT WENT TOT HE SERVICE DEPARTMENT RATHER THAN THE BODY SHOP (MY CAR WAS IN AN ACCIDENT EARLY LAST YEAR BUT THE TIRE PRESSURE IS UNRELATED TO THAT.) NISSAN HAS ADVISED ME TO TAKE THE ROGUE IN YET AGAIN TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTICS DONE. WHEN I ASKED WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY JUST RESET AND THE LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN WHAT WILL I DO? JUST KEEP GOING BACK TO THE SHOP? SHE SAID SHE COULDN'T HELP ME ANY FURTHER ALL SHE COULD TELL ME TO DO IS TAKE IT BACK TO THE SHOP. *TR

STEERING
ON THE EARLY MORNING OF 12/31/09, THE CAR I WAS DRIVING IS A NISSAN ROGUE 2008.I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN FROM BRADDOCK RD TO DANBURY FOREST DR, I LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL. IT KEPT GOING AROUND AND FORTUNATELY, THE CARS COMING FROM THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD WERE ABLE TO USE THEIR BRAKES AND AVOID A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. AT THAT TIME I THOUGHT IT WAS AN ICE ON THE GROUND. LATER ON, 01/01/10, DRIVING ON ROUTE 50 AND MAKING A LEFT TURN ONTO ANNANDALE RD. ONCE AGAIN, I LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL. I TRIED TO MAKE A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL I TRIED TO TAKE THE CAR OFF OF THE ROAD TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. AT THAT TIME, THE CARS WERE PASSING BY. ON FRIDAY EARLY MORNING, THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE SHEEHY NISSAN DEALER WHICH IS LOCATED AT 6727 LOISDALE RD. SPRINGFIELD, VA. 22150. ON SATURDAY MORNING, I WENT TO REPORT THE INCIDENT. LATER ON OF THE SAME DAY, THE MECHANIC CALLED TO INFORMED THAT A PART OF THE STEERING WAS BROKEN AND THEY WILL BE ORDERING AND FIX IT BY WEDNESDAY. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS CAR. IT IS NEW AND MANY PARTS OF IT ARE CONTINUALLY FALLING . IF I'M ALIVE IT IS NOT BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY OF THE CAR. IT IS A MIRACLE. THIS TWO INCIDENTS, ARE NOT THE FIRST WITH THIS TYPE OF CAR. APPROXIMATELY, TWO MONTHS AGO, I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE SHIFT STICK GOT STUCK AND IT STARTER MAKING A LOUD NOISE EVERY TIME I WAITED TO TURN EITHER SIDE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE SAME DEALER AND THE MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WAS A BOOT FROM THE SHIFT STICK THAT GOT LOOSE. I'M REPORTING THIS INCIDENT BECAUSE KNOW I REALIZED THAT DRIVING A NISSAN ROGUE IS DRIVING STRAIGHT TO THE GRAVE. NOT BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL YOUR CAR ON THE HIGHWAYS OR THE STREETS, IT TURNS INTO A KILLER MACHINERY NOT JUST FOR THE DRIVER, BUT ALSO FOR THE COMMUNITY. IT IS A CAR THAT IS CONSTANTLY BRAKING PIECES OR FALLING IN PARTS. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE REMOVED FROM THE STREETS. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2008 NISSAN ROGUE, SL AWD TRANSMISSION IS VERY SLUGGISH TO ACCELERATE BETWEEN 20 - 40MPH, ESPECIALLY WHEN ENTERING A HIGHWAY FROM ON RAMP. IT DOES NOT SEEM TO SHIFT UNLESS YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS A LITTLE, THEN RMP'S GO DOWN AND THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE PURCHASING MY VEHICLE IN MARCH 2009 . SINCE THIS CAR HAS A CVT TRANSMISSION, YOU DON'T HEAR OR FEEL GEAR SHIFTS. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE SLOW ACCELERATION WAS NORMAL FOR THAT VEHICLE'S CVT TRANSMISSION. I BELIEVE IT IS DANGEROUS AS THERE IS NO PREDICTABILITY WHEN IT WILL OR WON'T ACCELERATE AS NECESSARY WHEN MERGING ONTO HIGH SPEED HIGHWAYS. DANGER FROM BEING REAR ENDED IS HIGH . THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY NISSAN. *TR
