WHILE GOING BETWEEN 75-80 MPH FOR BETWEEN 100-125 MILES, THE CAR WOULD NOT HARDLY GO, HAD TO SLOW DOWN AND GET OFF THE INTERSTATE, CUT THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES, AND THEN IT SEEMED OKAY, THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE TRAVELING FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME ON THE INTERSTATE AT HIGHER SPEEDS, SOMETHING REALLY NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS, IT STARTED AT 30000 MILES, VERY DANGEROUS! *TR

AIR BAGS
I NOTICED AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHING IN DASH PANEL ABOUT A MONTH AGO. HAD THE CAR SERVICED AT FIRESTONE, SUGGESTED I TAKE IT TO A DEALER. I ALSO NOTICED THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG SENSOR SAYS "PASS AIRBAG NOT ON" EVEN WHEN I HAVE A PASSENGER. I DID A COMPUTER SEARCH TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE (POSSIBLY MINOR, TAKE IT TO AUTOZONE). UNFORTUNATELY, THERE ARE QUITE A FEW ROGUE OWNERS THAT HAD THE SAME ISSUE, AND ALSO SAW A RECALL (08V521000). WHEN I PHONED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, THEY SAID MY ROGUE WAS NOT IN THE RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS MANUFACTURED "ELSEWHERE". I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, WHO GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF $1,800 TO REPAIR!!!!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? I BELIEVE IT MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED "ELSEWHERE", BUT THE DEFECTIVE PART WAS MADE AT THE SAME PLACE, AND SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE I GOT IT FROM THE DEALER AT THE BEGINNING OF 2009. NO ACCIDENTS. I'M THE OWNER AND DRIVER." *TR

THE 2011 ROGUE IS THE CAR WE USE FOR LONGER TRIPS WHEN WE'RE NOT FLYING. ABOUT TWO HOURS INTO A LONG INTERSTATE TRIP IN MAY 2013 WE STARTED TO HEAR A HIGH PITCHED WHINE FROM THE TRANSMISSION WHENEVER WE WOULD ACCELERATE TO GO UPHILL OR PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. SHORTLY AFTER WE STARTED HEARING THAT NOISE THE TRANSMISSION WAS UNABLE TO "DOWNSHIFT" (TECHNICALLY CVTS DON'T DOWNSHIFT) AND WE LOST POWER. WE COULD STILL MAINTAIN A REASONABLE SPEED ON LEVEL TERRAIN, BUT WE WERE BARELY ABLE TO MAINTAIN SPEED GOING OVER SMALL HILLS. WE WOULD HAVE OUR FOOT PLANTED ON THE ACCELERATOR BUT NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN, ACCELERATION WISE. ONCE WE'D STOP, TURN THE CAR OFF, WAIT A FEW MINUTES, THEN START THE CAR AND GET BACK TO DRIVING, EVERYTHING WOULD BE FINE. BUT AFTER A WHILE OF EXTENDED DRIVING THE PROBLEM WOULD RETURN. THIS ISSUE HAS SHOWN UP A FEW TIME SINCE THEN BUT ALWAYS DURING EXTENDED DRIVING SESSIONS AND NEVER ON THE DAY-TO-DAY SHORT COMMUTES, WHICH HAS MADE IT FRUSTRATING TO TRACK. IN DOING A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH WE FOUND MANY OTHER ROGUE OWNERS DESCRIBING OUR EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS, AND EVEN SOMEONE THAT POSTED A YOUTUBE VIDEO DURING THEIR PROBLEM.

MY NISSAN ROGUE 2012 BEGAN TO MAKE SOME NOISE AND CAN'T ACCELERATE. I CALL NISSAN DEALER AND TOW THE CAR TO THEM. THEY SAID THAT THE PROBLEM IS THE FUEL INJECTORS. THE CAR STILL AT DEALER FOR REPAIR. THIS CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE CAR STOPPED SUDDENLY. *TR

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WILL LOSE POWER TO THE POINT IT ALMOST FILLS AS IF IT WILL SHUT OFF. USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN STARTING OFF ON A GRADE OR SLOWING FOR A TURN THEN PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL. THE CAR ALSO SHUDDERS AND FEELS LIKE IT CHUGGING OR WOBBLING ALONG, AS IF THE ROAD IT LUMPY. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE ISSUE, BUT NO RECALL OR SERVICE BULLETINS HAVE BEEN ISSUED. WHEN IT ALMOST COMPLETELY LOSES POWER ITS VERY SCARY, AS IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE TRYING TO MERGE ONTO THE INTERSTATE. I HAVE A YOUNG CHILD AND IT HAS PUT US BOTH IN DANGER MORE THAN ONCE SINCE BUYING THE CAR USED IN JULY 2013. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT STARTED FLASHING, AND THE "AIRBAG OFF" INDICATOR LIT UP FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS POSSIBLY RELATED TO THE OCS SENSOR MALFUNCTIONING, AND THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH A RECALL (08V521000). I CALLED THE RECALL CENTER AND WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL, AND THAT I SHOULD TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER ON 10-2-13 FOR THEM TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC. WAS INFORMED THAT IN FACT, THE OCS HAD GONE BAD; BUT AGAIN TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL, AND WOULD COST $2819 TO FIX. I HAVE SINCE ESCALATED MY CASE TO THE REGIONAL LEVEL, GIVEN THAT MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 50K MILES, WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW, AND A SENSOR SHOULD LAST WELL BEYOND THAT! I WAS TOLD BY THE REGIONAL OFFICE TO SUBMIT A COMPLAINT, AND THAT THEY WILL FURTHER RESEARCH MY SITUATION. *TR

I NOTICED A WHINNING SOUND COMING FROM MY VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO THEN REPORTED IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. I THEN TOOK MY CAR TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS THE CVT TRANSMISSION (CARRIER BEARING AREA). I WAS NOT AWARE THAT THERE HAD BEEN ISSUES WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS IN NISSAN. NISSAN HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY HOWEVER DUE TO ME THE CONSUMER NOT BEING MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE THAT NISSAN WAS HAVING, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT I SHOULD BE ON THE LOOK TO SEE IF MY CAR WAS HAVING ISSUES UNTIL I HEARD THE WHINNING SOUND. I DRIVE A LOT FOR WORK, THEREFORE MY CAR HAS 123,233 MILES ON IT BUT IS VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS NO OTHER ISSUES. I AM CURRENTLY BATTLING WITH NISSAN TO HAVE THEM FIX THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT (CVT TRANSMISSION). NISSAN SHOULD BE MADE TO CORRECT THESE DEFECTS IN THEIR PRODUCTS REGARDLESS. NISSAN KNOWS OF THE ISSUE, BUT FROM THE RESEARCH I'VE BEEN DOING ONLINE THEY ARE NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS. AMERICANS SHOULD NOT SPEND THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY ON PRODUCTS THAT ARE DEFECTIVE AND THEN COMPANIES BAILING OUT. COMPANIES NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY! *TR

THE CVT WAS REPLACE AT 95000 MILES DUE TO TOTAL FAILURE. AT 12000 MILES WHILE DRIVING ON A ROAD WITH LOTS OF HILLS THE CAR LOST POWER AND SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN TO 30 MPH. IT SEEMED TO RESET AFTER SHUTTING DOWN AND LETTING THE CAR REST FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. I TALKED TO MY MECHANIC AND THEY SUGGESTED CLEANING THE FUEL INJECTORS AND A NEW AIR FILTER. I DID THAT AND IT STILL HAPPENED. I BROUGHT IT TO NISSAN, THEY CHECKED IT FOR 3 DAYS AND FOUND NOTHING. THEY SAID TO WAIT FOR A CODE TO COME UP AND THEY COULD GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT. AT 140,000 MILES THE CODE CAME UP AS AN INTERMITTENT TORQUE CONVERTER CIRCUIT PROBLEM. NISSAN THEN SAID THAT THEY COULDN'T RECREATE THE CODE SO THE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO FIX. AFTER READING SEVERAL POSTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE SAME REACTION FROM NISSAN, I THINK THAT A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IS IN ORDER. I DON'T THINK THAT SOMEONE NEEDS TO DIE DUE TO NISSANS FAULTY VEHICLES, FOR ACTION TO BE TAKEN. *TR

I OWN A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE THAT HAS HAD ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH THE CVT. WHEN I FIRST EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM, NISSAN DID NOT EVEN KNOW/ACKNOWLEDGE THERE WAS AN ISSUE. WHEN TRAVELING DURING THE SUMMER ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS (70-80 MPH) I WOULD RANDOMLY LOSE POWER TO THE VEHICLE. FOR INSTANCE, IF I WAS DRIVING WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON, IT WOULD SHUT OFF AND GRADUALLY START TO DECELERATE. STEPPING ON THE GAS DID NOTHING. IN SOME CASES, I WOULD BE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ONLY ABLE TO GO ABOUT 25 MPH. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, FOR EXAMPLE WHEN EXITING THE HIGHWAY AND WAITING AT A LIGHT, THE CAR IS VERY SLOW TO RESPOND TO START MOVING AGAIN. AFTER TAKING MY CAR TO THREE DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS, NISSAN FINALLY BEGAN TO ACKNOWLEDGE THERE WAS AN SYSTEM ISSUE (NOT AFTER MAKING ME SPEND $400+ FOR A TRANSMISSION FLUSH). THEY SAID THAT THE COMBINATION OF ELEVATION, HEAT AND HIGH SPEEDS WAS CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO OVERHEAT AND GO INTO "FAIL SAFE" MODE. FINALLY LAST SUMMER (JULY 2012) NISSAN REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION IN THE VEHICLE. NOW, ONE YEAR LATER AND ONLY 20,000 MILES ON THE NEW TRANSMISSION, I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. MOST BOTHERSOME, HOWEVER WAS THE LAST FEW TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED, IT WAS NOT HOT AND I WAS NOT DRIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS. AFTER 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING ABOUT 82 MPH WITH 65 DEGREE WEATHER, I LOST ALL POWER TO THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC THAT WAS MOVING AT LEAST 70 MPH AND I WAS ONLY ABLE TO MOVE AT 40 MPH. NISSAN HAS SAID THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE CONTINUED ISSUE, BUT BECAUSE THE CVT IS TECHNICALLY PERFORMING AS IT SHOULD, THEY WILL NOT COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY. THEY SAID THEY ARE DEVELOPING A COOLANT, BUT IS THIS A REAL SOLUTION? BOTTOM LINE, THIS IS NOT A SAFE, RELIABLE VEHICLE. EVERY TIME I GET IN MY CAR, I WONDER IF I WILL BE ABLE TO GET WHERE I NEED TO GO IN A TIMELY AND SAFE FASHION. *JS

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
I WAS LEAVING A STORE AND GAS LIGHT CAME ON. I KNEW THAT I HAD FILL UP BEFORE ENTERING THE I-95 INTERSTATE AND I WAS A BIT PERPLEXED. I DROVE TO A GAS STATION AND FILLED UP ONCE AGAIN AND NOTICE THAT THE GAS GAUGE FILLED TO ITS CAPACITY. THIS OCCURRED A FEW MONTHS AGO AND I DISMISSED IT. ON 9/19/13, I STOPPED AT A GAS STATION AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ON 9/20/13 I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A FUEL SENDING UNIT WHICH WOULD COST ME $1,087 WHICH INCLUDES PARTS AND LABOR. OF COURSE, I DECLINE TO REPAIR IT BECAUSE AT THAT TIME I WAS FRUSTRATED WITH NISSAN AND WAS THINKING ABOUT TRADING IN THE CAR. PREVIOUSLY, I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK ON TWO OCCASIONS FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WHICH I WAS GRATEFUL THAT IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AND TREATED THIS INCIDENT AN OCCURRING PROBLEM WITH 09 ROGUE. I ONLY HAVE THIS VEHICLE FOR 1.5 YEARS AND I AM FEARFUL EACH TIME THAT I DRIVE. EVEN THE TRIPLE A YOUNG MAN TOLD ME TO GET RID OF IT BECAUSE WITHIN THE LAST MONTH HE HAS TO TOW QUITE A FEW. MY COMMUTE ON INTERSTATE EACH DAY IS WORRISOME BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT. NOW I AM STUCK WITH A NEW PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT I AM STILL PAYING FOR AND SPENDING MORE MONEY ON GAS BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAN HAPPEN . PLEASE WE MUST DO SOMETHING WITH THIS COMPANY NISSAN. I PLACED A COMPLAINT TODAY 9/23/13 AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK SINCE THEY DON'T HAVE ANY INFORMATION WITH THIS TYPE OF RECALL. (LIARS) THEY ARE LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT ON NISSANS. I AM NOT CERTAIN IF I WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON A CAR THAT I TRULY FEEL UNSAFE WITH OR WRITE OFF MY LOSS AND LOOK FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE. EITHER WAY, I HAD TO WRITE THIS COMPLAINT SINCE I HAVE NEVER FELT SO UNSAFE DRIVING A VEHICLE.

I HAD DRIVEN MY 2009 NISSAN ROGUE AS I WAS DRIVING FOR ABOUT 1 HR @ 65MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SPEED DECREASED ON ITS OWN .. I LET GO OF THE GAS AND THEN QUICKLY PUT MY FOOT ON THE PEDAL AGAIN BUT IT WOULD NOT SPEED UP.. I HAD MY FOOT COMPLETELY ON THE GAS PEDAL. BUT IT WOULD NOT GO FASTER THAN 20MPH. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THERE COULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT... WITH MY TWO KIDS ON BOARD... *TR

THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ROUTE 46 IN LITTLE FALLS, NJ DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. LUCKILY THE IT HAPPENED WHILE IN THE RIGHT LANE SO MY WIFE WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD QUICKLY BUT HAD NO FORWARD POWER. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO ACME NISSAN IN SOUTH BRUNSWICK, NJ WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A FAILED TRANSFER CASE AND TRANSMISSION. MY WIFE'S COMMUTE IS RATHER FAR AT 80+ MILES ROUND TRIP A DAY BUT IT IS ALMOST ALL ON HIGHWAYS. FOR A CAR TO HAVE A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION AT SPEED ON A CROWDED HIGHWAY WAT THIS AGE/MILEAGE OUT OF THE BLUE IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2013 NISSAN ROGUE IN APRIL OF 2013. WE ASSUMED THAT THE ROGUE WOULD HAVE THE SAME 2.5 LITER ENGINE AS THE 2009 ALTIMA WE OWN AND LIKE. AS SOON AS WE DROVE ROGUE ON OUR FIRST TRIP INTO THE MOUNTAINS OF NC WE DISCOVERED A PROBLEM. WHEN DRIVING UP A GENTLE SLOPE THE RPM WILL GO FROM 2000 TO 3000 WITHOUT ANY APPRECIATIVE INCREASE IN SPEED, WHEN MORE SPEED IS REQUIRED TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC OR TO PASS, AND THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED TO 5000RPM NO INCREASE IN SPEED IS AVAILABLE. I FEEL EXACTLY LIKE SOMETHING IS SLIPPING. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO PASS ANY CAR BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE ANY POWER RESERVE AVAILABLE. AT THE HIGH RPM THE ENGINE IS ALSO USING A LOT OF FUEL. MY WIFE AND I ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALERSHIP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, BUT THEY ARE REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. I HAVE SEEN SOME FORUMS ON THE INTERNET WITH OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHAT CAN I DO? THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY. PS. WE HAVE REPEATED THE DRIVE SEVERAL TIMES WITH THE SAME RESULTS. *JS
