POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I PURCHASED A NEW NISSAN ROGUE AND WITHIN 3500 MILES IT BEGAN TO MAKE NOISE. SECOND VISIT TO MECHANIC AT ABOUT 8000 MILES CONFIRMED THAT CAR NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. AFTER 3500 MILES ON THE NEW NEW TRANSMISSION, NOISE RETURNED AND NISSAN HAS AUTHORIZED A SECOND REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT DOWNSHIFT UNLESS IT WAS PUT INTO MANUAL MODE, VEHICLE WENT BEYOND RED LINE. THERE WASN'T ANY CORRELATION BETWEEN SPEED AND ACCELERATION METHODS. EVERY NOW AND THEN A LOUD THUMP NOISE IS HEARD FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT VARIOUS INTERVALS, DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE LAST TIME IT WAS BROUGHT IN. *TR

AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW
ON NOVEMBER 5, 2008, I STARTED MY 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. BOTH SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. I CALLED LOVE NISSAN, WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THEY SENT A WRECKER TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE. THEY ORDERED PARTS AND REPLACED THE FOLLOWING COMPONENTS: AIR BAG DIAGNOSTIC UNIT, 2 SIDE AIR BAG MODULES, 2 FRONT SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES, HEADLINER, AND CENTER GARNISH FINISHERS. THEY TOLD ME THE BOARD IN THE DIAGNOSTIC UNIT WAS BUBBLED AND THEY PROBABLY WOULD NEVER KNOW WHAT CAUSED THIS. PREVIOUS TO THIS INCIDENT, I TOOK MY VEHICLE BACK FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: PURCHASED VEHICLE NOVEMBER 5, 2007. ON NOVEMBER 15, 2007, I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT. A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS PERFORMED. DIAGNOSTIC: NO CODES FOUND OR STORED AT THIS TIME, TEST DROVE, RECHECKED CODES, NO PROBLEMS FOUND AT THIS TIME. ON JANUARY 19, 2007, RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF THE SAME PROBLEM. DIAGNOSTIC TEST: NO DTC STORED IN SYSTEM. AT THIS TIME ALL WORKING PROPERLY. TEST DROVE. OK. ON JANUARY 22, 2008, RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO THE SAME PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP ORDERED AND REPLACED: AIR BAG DIAGNOSTIC CONTROL UNIT, PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR, AND BOTTOM CUSHION FRAME ASSEMBLY. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE NOT KNOWING IF THE AIR BAGS WILL DEPLOY AGAIN WHILE I AM DRIVING. THIS WOULD CAUSE ME TO WRECK. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
I PURCHASED A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE SL AWD IN NOVEMBER 2008. I BEGAN HEARING A NOISE EMANATING FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 3000 MILES. THE NOISE OCCURS CONSISTENTLY WHEN DECELERATING FROM ABOUT 20 MPH TO 5 MPH. AS THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO DECELERATE, THE NOISE SOUNDS LIKE A BICYCLE CHAIN 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 MAKING A LEFT TURN AT SLOW SPEED, SUCH AS WHEN TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT. SERVICE MANAGER ACKNOWLEDGES THE NOISE BUT HAS NO EXPLANATION FOR IT AND NO INTEREST IN TRYING TO RESOLVE IT. I BELIEVE THE NOISE COMES FROM THE CVT TRANSMISSION, AND IT IS PROBABLY CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE CVT PUSH BELT OR A CVT PUSH BELT SLIPPING ON THE VARIATOR PULLEYS. EITHER CAUSE COULD LEAD TO CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE CVT PUSH BELT AND RESULT IN AN IMMEDIATE AND TOTAL LOSS OF RESPONSE TO DRIVER ACCELERATOR INPUT. MY NISSAN ROGUE CURRENTLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 7000 MILES, AND THE NOISE IS BECOMING MORE EVIDENT. *TR

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
I UNDERSTAND THAT FEDERAL LAW NOW REQUIRES ALL NEW CARS TO HAVE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEMS. I WOULD LIKE TO COMPLAIN THAT MANY OF THESE SYSTEMS ARE SO SENSITIVE THAT THEY WILL BE EFFECTIVELY USELESS BECAUSE DRIVERS WILL IGNORE THEM. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN RELIGIOUS ABOUT REGULAR MAINTENANCE, INCLUDING CHECKING MY TIRE PRESSURE REGULARLY. MY 2009 NISSAN VERSA'S TIRE "IDIOT LIGHT" IS ALMOST ALWAYS ON. IT TAKES AS LITTLE AS 1/3 LB. CHANGE FROM THE RECOMMENDED PRESSURE FOR THE LIGHT TO COME ON -- SOMETIMES IT COMES ON WHILE I'M DRIVING AND IS OFF AGAIN BY THE TIME I FINISH MY TRIP. CONSULTING WITH BOTH DEALERS AND OTHER OWNERS OF NEW CARS CONFIRMS MY SUSPICION THAT THE SENSORS ARE JUST TOO SENSITIVE -- SOME HAVE REPLACED ALL THEIR SENSORS TWO OR THREE TIMES TO NO EFFECT. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SOMEONE AWARE THAT THESE DEVICES, WHILE A GOOD IDEA IN PRINCIPAL, ARE JUST TOO SENSITIVE (AND ANNOYING) RIGHT NOW FOR THEM TO BE USEFUL SAFETY DEVICES. THANK YOU. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THIS AN E-MAIL TO THE NISSAN MOTOR CORP REFERENCE 6261634 I WAS JUST RECENTLY CONTACTED BY ONE OF YOUR TECH REPRESENTATIVES FOR MY AREA IN RESPONSE TO MY INQUIRY ABOUT MY 2008 NISSAN ROGUE CVT TRANSMISSION NOISE. IT APPEARS THAT YOUR FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM IS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THIS SEEMS ODD, HAS THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THE NEXT TRANSMISSION WILL NOT HAVE THE SAME RUMBLING CVT NOISE. ALSO THIS IS A NEW CAR AND YOU DON'T EXPECT TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AFTER A FEW MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP. IN FACT CHECKING WITH THE BLOG PAGE OF THE NICO CLUB, THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH MANY NISSAN ROGUE OWNERS. I HAVE CALLED MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERS AND FOUND THAT ALL THEM ARE HAVING SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM SOME OF THEIR ROGUE OWNERS. RAMSY NISSAN HAS HAD FOUR COMPLAINTS, ROCKLAND NISSAN SEVEN COMPLAINTS, WHITE PLAINS NISSAN THREE COMPLAINTS, O'BRIEN NISSAN TWO COMPLAINTS AND ROUTE 23 NISSAN HAS HAD FIVE COMPLAINTS. WHAT IS ALSO INTERESTING IS ALL OF THESE DEALERS HAVE THE SAME ANSWER TO FIXING THE PROBLEM AND THAT IS, 'NISSAN IS A WHERE OF THE PROBLEM' AND THEY ARE WAITING FOR A SOFTWARE FIX. IT APPEARS TO ME THAT NISSAN SOLD THE VEHICLE WITH A KNOWN DESIGN FLAW WITH THE ROGUES CVT TRANSMISSION. I WAIT FOR YOUR REPLY AND RESOLUTION TO MY COMPLAINT. *TR

STRUCTURE, VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR
2008 NISSAN ROGUE: BACK REAR WINDOW BEHIND THE DRIVER'S SIDE EXPLODED SENDING GLASS ALL OVER THE CAR AND ON THE DRIVEWAY. THE CAR HAD BEEN DRIVEN ABOUT 15 PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO THE NISSAN DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. HE WOULD NOT EVEN TALK TO ME. HE SAID IT WAS NOT UNDER THEIR WARRANTY AND THAT IT BELONGED TO ME AND THE BANK NOW. I TURNED IT IN TO MY COMPREHENSION INSURANCE AND HAD THE WINDOW REPLACED. THE GLASS HIT THE SEAT SO HARD THAT IT EMBEDDED ABOUT 2 INCHES DEEP INTO THE SEAT. THE SEAT COVER HAD TO BE REPLACED AS WELL. ALSO, THE PAINT ON THE DOOR WAS SCRATCHED FROM THE GLASS COMING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE CAR. I HAD TO GET THE VEHICLE FIXED MYSELF (WITH INSURANCE) AT A COST OF OVER $1900. NISSAN SAID THAT ALL OF THEIR CARS WERE CHECKED THOROUGHLY SO THERE IS NO WAY THAT THERE COULD BE A DEFECT EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A NEW MODEL FOR NISSAN AND I AM SURE THEY DO NOT HAVE ALL THE FACTS ON THIS MODEL AS YET. *TR

LOW-SPEED RUBBERY GRINDING/RATTLE FROM FRONT END/TRANSMISSION. DEALER REPLACED HALF-SHAFT, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE. DEALER SAID TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT IS NECESSARY, BUT PROBLEM WOULD LIKELY RECUR AS NISSAN HAS NOT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. ADVISED TO WAIT UNTIL MANUFACTURER CAN FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE SL AWD, I BEGAN EXPERIENCING A GRINDING, RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM WHICH I NOW KNOW IS THE CVT TRANSMISSION. STARTED AT LESS THAN 3000 MILES, VERY FAINT AND INCONSISTENT BUT BECOMING MUCH LOUDER, MORE CONSISTENT AND UNMISTAKABLE. AFTER THE THIRD TRIP TO MY DEALER ABOUT THIS NOISE AND SEVERAL OTHER ISSUES I AM HAVING WITH MY 5 MONTH OLD VEHICLE INCLUDING A MAJOR WATER LEAK, THEY FINALLY GOT ON THE PHONE TO NISSAN USA. THE SERVICE MANAGER ADVISED ME THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS TRANSMISSION "ISSUE", THEY ARE WORKING ON A FIX, THERE HAVE BEEN MANY TRANSMISSIONS REPLACED BUT THAT IS NOT CORRECTING THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD TO SIT TIGHT AND WAIT FOR NISSAN TO COME UP WITH A RESOLUTION. I WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN NO REPORTED FAILURES FROM THIS ISSUE. MY PROBLEM IS, WHICH ROGUE OWNER WITH THIS PROBLEM (AND IT SEEMS LIKE THERE ARE MANY) IS GOING TO BE THE FIRST ONE TO HAVE A TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS? I CURRENTLY HAVE LESS THAN 5,000 MILES ON MY ROGUE AND DON'T TRUST IT. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE (ALL WHEEL DRIVE). IT HAS A LOUD NOISE (GRINDING/CLUNKING) SOUND AT SLOW SPEED. I'M TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THEY HAVE ANOTHER ONE THAT IS DOING THE SAME AND THEY DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER. NISSAN STATES THAT THEY ARE LOOKING INTO IT, DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS, BUT THAT THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE..... IF THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS HOW CAN THEY SAY THAT IT'S SAFE TO DRIVE? TO ME IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S EITHER THE TRANSMISSION OR TRANSFER CASE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WITHIN 1 MONTH OF TAKING DELIVERY OF A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE SL AWD, WE STARTED HEARING A FAINT RATTLE THAT WAS INTERMITTENT FROM THE FRONT END AT APPROX. 1000 MI. WHEN THE NOISE BECAME MORE REGULAR AND LOUDER, TOOK IT TO NISSAN TO HAVE THEM CHECK IT OUT. TECH'S HEARD THE NOISE ON 2ND TRIP THERE, BUT SAID NISSAN WAS AWARE OF A PROBLEM BUT THERE WAS NO FIX AS OF YET AND WILL LET US KNOW WHEN THERE WAS A FIX. TWO MONTHS LATER, NO WORD FROM THE DEALER, WE TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE THEY HAD EXPERIENCED IT AND REPLACED A TRANSMISSION FOR ANOTHER ROGUE. THEY KEPT IT FOR NEARLY 3 WEEKS AND ONLY REPLACED A TRANSFER CASE--IT TURNS OUT THE TRANSFER CASE ONLY ECHOED THE NOISE FROM THE CVT/TRANSMISSION. WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT NISSAN REQUESTED THEM TO RETURN THE CAR BACK TO US WITH SO-CALLED ADDED COMFORT THAT "IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL THEY FIND A FIX BECAUSE THERE HAVEN'T BEEN ANY REPORTED FAILURES". NOISE IS STILL THERE, AND SEEMS EVEN LOUDER THAN BEFORE. "RATTLE NOISE" IS HEARD WHEN FOOT IS LIFTED OFF GAS PEDAL AT SLOW SPEEDS BELOW 35-40 MPH. CURRENT MILEAGE: 6350. *TR

ISSUES SINCE MAY 2008. PURCHASED NEW 08 NISSAN ROGUE SL AWD. HAVE HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS INCLUDING, LUNGING FORWARD, RATTLING NOISES, JERKING ACCELERATION, AND VIBRATION ON ACCELERATION. CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS STARTED UNDER 35MPH AND NOW ARE PRESENT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. NISSAN CLAIMS ITS MIGHT BE NORMAL AND THAT THERE MAY BE NO SOLUTION TO A PROBLEM THEY CANT FIGURE OUT. ADDITIONALLY THEY SAY IT WILL NOT CAUSE HARM, HOWEVER, IF THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IT IS, HOW CAN THEY SAY THAT?*TR

I HAVE A TRANSMISSION RATTLE/CLANKING NOISE WHICH IS FAIRLY CONSTANT IN THE CAR, EXCEPT AT HIGH ACCELERATION. I HAVE COMPLAINED NUMEROUS TIMES TO NISSAN ABOUT THE PROBLEM, BUT NISSAN IS CURRENTLY CONSIDERING THIS SOUND NORMAL. IT HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE, AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT A TRANSMISSION FAILURE, WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR
