POWER TRAIN
ON A ROAD TRIP FROM LOS ANGELES TO LAS VEGAS, ENCOUNTERING NORMALLY HOT TEMPERATURES, AND AFTER SEVERAL HOURS OF DRIVING, THE CAR LOST POWER COULD ONLY ATTAIN SPEEDS OF 50 MPH OR LESS UP HILLS. THIS IS A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER TO THE OCCUPANTS WHEN OTHER CARS ARE EASILY GOING 70 - 75 MPH. IF YOU PULL OFF THE ROAD, THE CARS HAVE A TENDENCY TO LURCH FORWARD AND WITH DANGEROUSLY POOR ACCELERATION. FROM READING THE CAR FORUMS, THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL, WHERE THE CVT TRANSMISSION APPARENTLY OVER-HEATS AND PUTS THE CAR INTO "LIMP" MODE. THE FIX HAS BEEN TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSIONS AND INSTALL AN ADDITIONAL TRANSMISSION COOLER, HOWEVER MANY DEALERS TRY TO CHARGE THE CUSTOMER FOR THE COOLER, AND THE NISSAN FACTORY IS NOW HESITANT TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSIONS EVEN THOUGH THEIR LONGEVITY AND RELIABILITY HAS UNDOUBTEDLY BEEN COMPROMISED IF THE OVER-HEATING PROBLEM WAS EXPERIENCED. THERE SHOULD BE A MANDATORY RECALL DEMANDED BY THE NTSB BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR INJURED DUE TO THIS LACK OF ACCELERATION. THE PROBLEM IS DIFFICULT TO REPRODUCE AT THE DEALER BECAUSE IT INVOLVES A MULTI-HOUR ROAD TRIP AND HILLS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, PLEASE.

POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 80 MPH ON A TOLL ROAD AND THE CAR LOST POWER TO ABOUT 50-60 MPH AND THE MOTOR WAS LIKE IN LIMP MODE FOR ABOUT 25 MILES . I STOPPED FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND WHEN I STARTED DRIVING AGAIN IT WAS FINE. SINCE THEN THIS HAPPENS ABOUT EVERY COUPLE WEEKS . DEALER SAYS I NEED A TRANSMISSION COOLER WHICH COST ALMOST $1100 . THIS CAR HAS LESS THAN 80,000 MILES I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT WOULD NEED A COOLER UNLESS IT IS DEFECTIVE .

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER DRIVING ABOUT AN HOUR, THE CVT NO LONGER WORKS AND THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE, EVEN IF YOU PUT THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. IT WILL NOT GO ABOVE 2,000 RPMS AND IF YOU GO UP A HILL YOU WILL LOSE ACCELERATIONS. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY AFTER AN HOUR OR MORE OF DRIVING. THE ONLY WAY TO TEMPORARILY FIX THE ISSUE IS TO TURN THE CAR OFF FOR A WHILE. IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED MAJOR ACCIDENTS ON THE HIGHWAY.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
THIS 2013 NISSAN ROGUE LOST ACCELERATION COMPLETELY WHEN ON A SLIGHT HILL/INCLINE. SPEED WENT FROM 60MPH TO 30MPH IN SECONDS, NEARLY CAUSING A COLLISION WITH A BIG RIG TRUCK ON MY SIDE AND A LARGE VEHICLE COMING UP BEHIND. THE GAS PEDAL WAS COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR WITH NO RESULT IN ACCELERATION. WHEN ABLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, I HAD TO POWER DOWN VEHICLE COMPLETELY. I OPENED THE HOOD (HOPING TO COOL THE POTENTIALLY HOT ENGINE TO RESOLVE) AND RESTART. I HAD TO RESTART A COUPLE TIMES TO GET THE CAR TO RECOGNIZE BEING IN "GEAR." THERE WAS NO WARNING, NO SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT, NOTHING. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENT ON OIL CHANGES, ETC. THIS ISSUE COULD HAVE CAUSED BODILY HARM OR INJURY HAD I NOT BEEN ABLE TO SAFELY GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, ESPECIALLY SINCE WE WERE ON A HILL AND EVERYONE IS TRYING TO MAINTAIN MOMENTUM BEHIND ME ON A TWO LANE ROAD. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY CONCERN. SINCE THAT ISSUE, THE VEHICLE HAS NOW DONE IT APPROXIMATELY 6 MORE TIMES.

POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING 70 ON THE INTERSTATE ON CRUISE CONTROL WHEN THE SPEED SUDDENLY DROPPED 20 - 30 MPH AND THE ENGINE STARTED RACING FORCING US TO PULL THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE IDLED PROPERLY THEN DROVE PROPERLY THE REMAINDER OF THE TRIP. THIS SCENARIO HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES, ALL BUT ONE WHILE ON CRUISE CONTROL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE ISSUE IN NISSAN SERVICE BULLETIN NTB14-002A:::---- 2008-2012 NISSAN ROGUE; REDUCED PERFORMANCE DUE TO CVT FLUID TEMPERATURE PROTECTION LOGIC THE MAXIMUM VEHICLE SPEED IS, OR WAS, REDUCED BY THE CVT FAIL-SAFE LOGIC AFTER CONTINUOUS OPERATION UNDER THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: 1)HIGH RPM AND/OR HIGH SPEED DRIVING (RPM OF 4000+ OR SPEEDS OF 65 MPH [104.6 KM/H] FOR 1.0 ? 1.5 HRS. OR MORE) 2)DRIVING IN AMBIENT TEMPERATURE OF 96 DEGREES OR HIGHER 3)CLIMBING STEEP OR EXTENDED HILLS FOR 6 MILES (9.6 KM) OR MORE 4)WHINE OR RATTLE TYPE NOISE OCCURRING DURING REDUCED ENGINE PERFORMANCE (VEHICLE SPEED DECREASE) ---- NISSAN HAS A KNOWN AND INTENTIONAL ISSUE IN THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM WHILE OPERATING UNDER SOME VERY NORMAL CONDITIONS. NISSANUSA CONSUMER AFFAIRS INITIALLY TOLD ME THAT THE WARRANTY HAD BEEN EXTENDED FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THE PROBLEM WOULD BE COVERED. THEY HAVE SINCE INDICATED THAT THE REPAIR FOR THIS ISSUE (ADDING AN EXTERNAL COOLING MECHANISM TO THE TRANSMISSION) IS NOT COVERED BY THE EXTENDED THE WARRANTY... LOOKING FOR SOME SANITY HERE. NISSAN NEEDS TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION (DESIGN?) PROBLEM UNDER THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY....UPDATED 09/11/15 *BF

POWER TRAIN
AFTER 5 HOURS OF OPERATION, WHILE CLIMING UPGRADE NEAR CHARLOTTE NC, VEHICLE SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR AND LOST POWER. THIS REPEATED OVER A SERIES OF INCLINES FOR THE NEXT 50 MILES AND NEARLY RESULTED IN SEVERAL REAR END ACCIDENTS. DURING THESE INCIDENTS,THE VEHICLE BOTH LOST POWER AND THE CRUISE CONTROL UNEXPECTEDLY SHUT OFF. LOCAL NISSAN DEALER CONFIRMED IT WAS DUE TO A KNOWN HEAT ISSUE WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS, AND AN ADVISORY WAS OUT TO INSPECT AND ADVISE WHEN REPORTED. NISSAN INSTRUCTED AN ADDITIONAL COOLING APPLIANCE BE ADDED TO KEEP THE FLUID COOL SO OPERATION WAS NORMAL. ISSUE IS THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BASED ON ASSUMPTION THAT ANY VEHICLE WILL DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR SEVERAL HOURS AND EVENTUALLY HAVE TO ENCOUNTER RELATIVLY EASY UPGRADES ON OUR HIGHWAYS. TRANSMISSION FAILURE UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES IS INEVITABLE, AND SO WILL BE POTENTIALLY FATAL OR AT LEAST INJURY INDUCING INCIDENTS.

PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITENTLY (AS IF PASSENGER IS NOT WEARING SEAT BELT, BUT REALLY IS. I BELIEVE THESE ARE SERIOUS ISSUES WITH THE SENSORS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT...

TWICE NOW, LAST AUGUST 2014 AND JUNE 2015, TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON AROUND 70 MPH, VEHICLE DECELERATES ON ITS OWN. GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, BUT STILL LOSING SPEED. HAD TO GET TO NEXT EXIT AND TURN VEHICLE OFF FOR FEW MINUTES BEFORE PROCEEDING. SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED, TOOK TO NISSAN DEALER. COULD NOT REPLICATE PROBLEM BUT RECOMMENDED A TRANSMISSION COOLING UNIT BE INSTALLED AT COST OF ABOUT $1300, WITH NO GUARANTEE THIS WILL FIX PROBLEM. MILEAGE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS 58,600. SECOND TIME AROUND 74,000 MILES. NISSAN CVT WARRANTY EXTENSION DOES NOT INCLUDE 2011 MODELS. ENDS WITH 2010 VEHICLES, ALTHOUGH THIS VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING SAME PROBLEM AS PREVIOUS YEARS MODELS.

WHILE DRIVING UPHILL, THE CRUISE CONTROL DROPPED OUT WHILE GOING 70MPH AND LEFT ME WITH NO CONTROL OF THE GAS PEDAL. IT DROPPED ABOUT 20-25MPH VERY QUICKLY AND I WAS NEARLY RUN OVER FROM BEHIND, WHICH LEFT ME QUITE SHAKEN. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE GAS PEDAL TILL HILL WAS CRESTED. THIS WAS AND IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT HAS LEFT ME WONDERING IF I CAN EVER TRUST THE CRUISE CONTROL ON MY VEHICLE AGAIN. THIS DEFECT HAS GOT TO BE FIXED QUICKLY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. DEALER SAYS THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS HAPPENING BEFORE BUT ARE GETTING NO HELP FROM NISSAN.
