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

ENGINE
ACCELERATION PROBLEMS, WHEN STEPPING ON GAS VEHICLE CRAWLS AND WHINING NOISE FROM ENGINE SOUNDING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. HAD IT LOOKED AT WHEN NEW WITH CLUNKING NOISE FROM ENGINE AT DEALER. THEY SAID THEY NOT SEEN ANY PROBLEMS WITH ROGUES AND CLAIMED A ROAD TEST WAS DONE AND NO NOISES WERE HEARD FROM TECHS. NOISES HAVE CONTINUED AND NOW HAVING SEVERE PROBLEMS ACCELERATING TO EVEN 30MPH. PROBLEM SEEMS TO COME AND GO QUITE FREQUENTLY, MOST OCCURRENCES HAPPEN AFTER A LONG ROAD TRIP. VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED REGULARLY, INCLUDING TRANSMISSION FLUIDS AND OIL CHANGES AS RECOMMENDED. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO WHERE DEALERS CLAIM NOTHING WRONG WITH VEHICLES. DOES A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR DEATH HAVE TO HAPPEN TO FINALLY ACKNOWLEDGE SEVERAL PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE. GOOGLE SEARCHES WILL SHOW MANY FORUMS OF SAME COMPLAINTS... *JS

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE HESITATES WHILE IN REVERSE AND ALSO IN DRIVE WHEN ACCELERATING CAUSING A DELAY WITHIN THE TRAFFIC INTERSECTIONS AND WHILE DRIVING ON HILLS. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO FIND CODES AND UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. IT HAPPENS WHEN ENGINE IS WARM GOES AWAY AFTER COOLING DOWN. *TR

FIRST OFF, THERE WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT...BUT THERE SURELY WOULD BE IF THIS CAR WERE TO BE DRIVEN IN ITS PRESENT STATE. ESSENTIALLY, CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE CVT (TRANSMISSION), SO THAT, WHEN SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT, STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR WOULD RESULT IN INCREASE IN RPM BUT NO FORWARD MOTION AT FIRST. IT MIGHT EVENTUALLY ENGAGE, BUT OPERATION IS TOTALLY UNPREDICTABLE. EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE AND NISSAN DID DOUBLE THE WARRANTY THEY FAILED TO NOTIFY OWNERS CLAIMING THAT BECAUSE IT WASN'T A RECALL, IT WAS NOT REQUIRED. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY 10,000 MILES OUTSIDE THE *NEW* WARRANTY MILEAGE LIMIT, BUT HAD OWNER BEEN NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS IMPENDING FAILURE, REPAIRS COULD HAVE BEEN EFFECTED INSIDE THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NISSAN HAS DECLINED TO OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE WHATSOEVER, BUT DOES HOPE THAT WE HAVE "A NICE DAY". WILL IT TAKE LOSS OF LIFE OR LIMB FOR NISSAN TO "DO THE RIGHT THING"? *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE TRANSMISSION DIED ON MY 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN JUNE 2008, WE HEARD "WHIRING" NOISES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP OF PURCHASE AND WE HAVE THE NOTATION THAT CUSTOMER COMPLAINED OF WHIRING. RESULT WAS THERE WERE NO ISSUES. CAR HAS CONTINUED TO WHINE THROUGH THE YEARS, IN THE PAST YEAR, IT BECAME WORSE. WE TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC TO BE EVALUATED, AND IMMEDIATELY HE KNEW THE PROBLEM- THE CVT TRANSMISSION. THE MECHANIC DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT NISSAN HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY, VERY QUIETLY. SINCE I DRIVE 70+ MILES TO/FROM WORK, MY CAR WAS ALREADY OVER THE WARRANTY LIMIT. HENCE, LEFT WITH 2 OPTIONS, REPLACEMENT VIA A NISSAN DEALERSHIP COSTING $5,000 AS NO VIABLE MECHANIC WILL TOUCH THE PROBLEM. OR GET RID OF THE CAR. THIS TYPE OF REPAIR WAS NOT IN OUR BUDGET NOR WERE WE IN A POSITION TO PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE ( THIS ONE WAS PAID FOR). THERE WAS NO GUARANTEE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WOULD GO OUT, OTHER THAN IT EVENTUALLY WOULD. LATELY, THE NOISE HAD BECOME MUCH WORSE AND WE FEARED THE WORST. THANK GOODNESS, THE CAR DIED IN OUR DRIVEWAY AND NOT THE HIGHWAY. NISSAN KNEW THIS WAS A PROBLEM, APPARENTLY FROM THE BEGINNING, AND IS NOT ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

AFTER DRIVING FOR SEVERAL HOURS AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE CAR LOSES POWER GOING UP SLIGHT HILLS. THE SPEED DROPS FROM 70 MPH TO 40 MPH WITH THE GAS PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED. WHEN I EXITED THE HIGHWAY TO PAY THE TOLL THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE AFTER GOING THROUGH THE TOLL BOTH. AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD AND STARTED TO GET UP TO SPEED . AT THE NEXT HILL IT LOST POWER AGAIN GOING UP THE HILL. THIS CAR IS BEING DRIVEN IN CONNECTICUT SO IT'S NOT BEING DRIVEN OVER MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN. *TR

PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT KEEP GOING ON AND OFF WHILE ON A TRIP 150 MILES AWAY FROM HOME. CALLED THE DEALER SERVICE DEPT. AND THEY SAID THEY COULD LOWER THE SENSOR TO RECOGNIZE ME (104 LBS) TO MAKE AN APPT. CALLED ON 7/21/14 TO SCHEDULE APT AND WAS TOLD BY SOMEONE ELSE THAT IT WAS AGAINST THE LAW TO LOWER THE WEIGHT SENSORS AND THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE. DANGEROUS AND RIDICULOUS. *TR

SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I ALL OF A SUDDEN HEARD A LOUD SMASHING SOUND. THE CAR SEIZED UP AND THE WHEELS LOCKED. THANKFULLY I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED!! THE CAR WAS TOWED AND THE DIAGNOSES INDICATED THAT THE U JOINT HAD SHEARED OFF THE DRIVE SHAFT AND PULLED OUT THE SHIFTER CABLE. THE ENTIRE DRIVE SHAFT AND SHIFTER CABLE NEEDED TO REPLACED AT A COST OF 1400$. THE CAR WAS ONLY FOUR YEARS OLD AND IS REGULARLY MAINTAINED. IN FACT DURING THE MONTH OF JUNE THE CAR HAD BEEN TO INSKIP NISSAN FOR A OIL CHANGE AND MULTI POINT INSPECTION AND TO A LOCAL GARAGE FOR A STATE OF RI SAFETY AND EMISSIONS INSPECTION. *TR

STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS HIGHWAY DRIVING FOR 40 MILES WHEN MY NISSAN ROGUE STARTED TO GET LOOSE AND MAKE AN ODD NOISE WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES. THE RODE WAS DAMP IN PLACES, BUT NOT ENOUGH TO ENGAGE THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES. TRAVELING ON, IT WOULD OCCASIONALLY REPEAT THE NOISE AND WOBBLE. 60 MILES INTO THE TRIP, I WAS TRAVELING 55 MPH AND NOT APPLYING THE BRAKES WHEN THE STEERING GOT EXTREMELY WOBBLY AND I HAD LITTLE CONTROL OVER THE CAR. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO EVEN PULL OVER. ONCE I GOT IT STOPPED, I CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK AND HAD TO PULL UP TO READ A ROAD SIGN AND THE STEERING WAS STILL WOBBLY JUST PULLING FORWARD. IT WAS TOWED TO THE NEARBY NISSAN DEALER WHO WORKED ON IT FOR OVER 3 HOURS AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I ASKED IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS OR PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL AND WAS TOLD, "NO." *TR

LOST POWER GOING UPHILL ON A FREEWAY. COULD NOT GET OFF THE FREEWAY AS I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE. CAR MADE WHINING SOUNDS BUT WOULD NOT GO UPHILL. I WAS PRESSING GAS WITH NO EFFECT JUST NOISE. TURNED ON MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS AND STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE LANE CAUSING BACK UP. GLADLY I HAD CELLPHONE SIGNAL AND WAS ABLE TO CALL A TOW. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE ON THE NEW VEHICLE WITH 8K MILES. AFTER THE TOW TO THE DEALERSHIP IT STARTED AND DROVE NORMALLY. GOOD THING THAT DEALER WAS CLOSED AND I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TEST IT. I WILL TAKE IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER FOR CHECK UP BUT NEW CARS SHOULD NOT LOOSE POWER LIKE THAT ON THE FREEWAY. *TR

VEHICLE'S CVT TRANSMISSION REGULARLY ENTERS "SAFETY MODE," TRIGGERING A SUDDEN LOSS IN POWER AT HIGH SPEED (75MPH+). NISSAN AWARE THAT THE ISSUE EXISTS AND IS WIDESPREAD, BUT WAITS FOR COMPLAINING CUSTOMERS TO COME TO DEALERSHIP TO INSTALL A TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER. *TR

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED THERE IS A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER NO MATTER HOW FAR YOU DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE WILL NOT GO ANY FASTER AND YOU ARE COASTING YOU CAN NOT GO ANY FASTER. THIS HAPPENS WHEN GOING UP HILL ON WHEN THERE IS A GREATER LOAD ON THE TRANSMISSION. YOU CAN NOT MAINTAIN SPEED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC THIS CREATES A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION FOR THE OCCUPANTS OF THE CAR AS WELL AS THOSE AROUND THEM. WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER I WAS TOLD THERE IS A TECHNICAL BULLETIN FOR ALL ROGUES THAT THE TRANSMISSION OVER HEATS AND IT GOES INTO SAFETY OVERRIDE MODE SO IT DOESN'T BLOW UP. IN LIGHT OF THIS ALL ROGUES NEED A TRANSMISSION COOLER INSTALLED AT A COST OF $1300. *TR

WHILE SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE, THE TOP PART OF THE GEAR SHIFT AND THE CHROME "STEM" LIFTED OFF. I PUSHED DOWN TO PUT IT BACK AND THE BUTTON TO ENGAGE THE GEAR SHIFT AND MOVE TO DIFFERENT GEARS WAS STUCK IN. THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD NOT MOVE FROM NEUTRAL OR DRIVE AND WHEN I PARKED THE VEHICLE, I HAD TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. *JS

I STOPPED THE VEHICLE WITH THE SHIFT LEVER IN DRIVE. WHEN I TRIED TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE TO BACK UP I COULD GET NO FARTHER THAN NEUTRAL. THE RELEASE BUTTON ON THE SHIFT LEVER WOULD NOT MOVE. I COULD NOT GET INTO REVERSE OR PARK. I MANAGED TO GET THE COVER ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SHIFT LEVER OFF AND A BROKEN PIECE OF GRAY PLASTIC FELL OUT. THE SHIFT LEVER RELEASE BUTTON THEN WORKED AND I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE AND INTO PARK. I HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO MORE PROBLEMS. NOT BEING ABLE TO GET INTO REVERSE IN A TIMELY MANNER COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS SITUATION TO DEVELOP. I SAVED THE BROKEN PIECE OF PLASTIC THAT JAMMED THE RELEASE LEVER. *JS
