POWER TRAIN
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO 30 MPH WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. IN 2015, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DIFFERENT DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. THE FAILURE ONLY OCCURRED IN WARM WEATHER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION FAILED IN AUGUST 2013 WITH 86K AND WAS REPAIRED BY NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THIS PROBLEM EXISTED ON 2 OCCASIONS WITH ME AND I WAS ALMOST STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE SINCE IT FAILED AS I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE JERKED MADE A HOWLING NOISE AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE. I WAS ABLE TO COAST ONTO THE SHOULDER. DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT ORIGINALS PARTS WERE INSTALLED IN VEHICLE. NOW TRANSMISSION FAILURE IS OCCURRING ONCE AGAIN AND QUITE RECENTLY AFTER GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY THE CAR FAILED TO ACCELERATE AFTER STOPPING FOR A LIGHT. THIS HAS OCCURRED MANY TIMES WITHIN THE MONTH OF MAY AND AS A LONG DISTANCE DRIVER TO AND FROM WORK EVERYDAY, I AM PETRIFIED OF WHAT CAN HAPPEN IF IT STOP SUDDENLY. I WENT TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND ONCE AGAIN THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THE COST WILL BE $4100. NISSAN DOES NOT WANT TO BEAR SOME OF THE COST NOR ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR CARS/ROLLOVERS THAT HAS THE CVT (CONTINUOUS VARIABLE TRANSMISSIONS) MANY CUSTOMERS ON VARIOUS WEBSITES ARE REPORTING TRANSMISSION FAILURES IN NISSAN AS WELL AS ON THE BBB SITE. . ALL COMPLAINTS REPORTED FROM CUSTOMERS ARE SIMILAR- FAILED TRANSMISSIONS. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE TRANSMISSION BELT BREAKS WITH CAUSED A SUDDEN STOP. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO NISSAN NORTH AMERICAN, BBB, AND THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY OFFICE IN MY STATE BECAUSE NISSAN KNOWS THAT THE CVT AT TIMES MAY NOT BREAK UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD. ALTHOUGH, THEY HAS BEEN NO RECALLS THE EVIDENCE TO DATE SUGGESTS THAT CVT TRANSMISSION HAS BECOME A NIGHTMARE FOR ME AS WELL AS FOR OTHER CAR OWNERS. SINCE MY TRANSMISSION FAILED IN 2013, IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION DIDN'T NOT COME OUT BUT WAS OVERHAULED DUE TO THE COST OF REPLACEMENT. I CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT THE MOMENT AND I AM AFRAID OF MY SAFETY.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! - OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, I FILED A COMPLAINT TO THE NHTSA AND MADE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS TO THE DEALER SERVICE CENTER ABOUT THIS ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE CVT. I COMMUTE EVERYDAY ON THE NJ TURNPIKE. I HAVE TO MAKE STOPS 'TO LET THE ENGINE/CVT COOL OFF' BOTH GOING AND COMING HOME FROM WORK BECAUSE THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE. I BARELY GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER IN HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC. SOMETIMES IF THERE ISN'T AN IMMEDIATE SHOULDER, I HAVE TO GO AT A SPEED OF 5-10 MPH IN HIGH SPEED TURNPIKE TRAFFIC OF 60-80 MPH TO FINALLY GET TO A SHOULDER. I ALREADY REPLACED ONE CVT IN THIS CAR. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2009 WHEN I PURCHASED THIS CAR. NOW I SEE IN 2014 NISSAN CAME UP WITH A 'FIX' TO REPLACE/INSTALL A COOLER KIT AND A TRANS OIL COOLER. THE TWO KITS COST ABOUT $860 WITHOUT INSTALLATION. WHY IS THIS COST PASSED ON TO US THE CONSUMERS? THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN CVT DESIGN. NISSAN SHOULD MAKE GOOD ON THEIR PROMISE TO THE CUSTOMER AND RECALL THE VEHICLES WITH THIS CVT ISSUE TO REPLACE/INSTALL THE NEEDED PARTS WITHOUT MAKING US PAY FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE VEHICLE DESIGN. OH AND I I SAID EARLIER, I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING TO THE DEALER SERVICE CENTER FOR YEARS INCLUDING 2014 AND NONE OF THE SERVICE TECHS EVER MENTIONED THE COOLER KIT FIXES TO ME. THEIR RESPONSE WAS THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING WITH THE CAR. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN AND I TELL EVERYONE I KNOW ABOUT THESE CVT ISSUES. THERE ARE AT LEAST 100+ COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE ABOUT THE CVT. WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO GET A RECALL? WHY DO THE CONSUMERS HAVE TO PAY FOR NISSAN'S FAULTY CVT DESIGN?

POWER TRAIN
THE CVT TRANSMISSION IN THE ROGUE IS KNOWN FOR FAILING. WHEN THE FLUID TEMPERATURE GETS TOO HOT THE VEHICLE WILL GO INTO A LIMP MODE LIMITING ALL POWER. MY ROGUE HAS HAD 4 TRANSMISSIONS IN 85K MILES. I HAVE HAD MY REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION FOR TWO WEEKS AND IT IS ALREADY HAVING SIGNS OF FAILING. I HAVE NEARLY BEEN IN MULTIPLE MAJOR WRECKS BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WILL CUT OUT WHEN TRYING TO ENTER A HIGHWAY OR PULL OUT ACROSS TRAFFIC. THERE ARE MULTIPLE REPORTS OF ACCIDENTS FROM THIS ISSUE BUT NISSAN HAS NOT SAID A WORD. IT HAS THE EXACT TYPE OF FAILURE THE NISSAN PATHFINDER HAD, WHICH JUST HAD A CLASS ACTION PASSED AGAINST IT.

" TAKATA RECALL"-MY PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT WENT ON AND THEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CHARGED ME TO TELL ME I HAVE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS. I WAS TOLD THEY ARE NOT UNDER ANY WARRANTY OR RECALL. I JUTS BOUGHT THE CAR USED FROM NISSAN IN FEB 2015. THEY ARE SAYING I HAVE TO START WITH REPLACING MY PASSENGER SEAT AND THAT WILL BE$1,900 AND THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THE REPAIR WILL STOP THERE. I WAS TOLD THAT NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WILL FUNCTION UNTIL THIS IS REPAIRED.

BOTH FRONT DOORS WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE AFTER BEING EXPOSED TO FREEZING TEMPERATURES IN OUR DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT. DESPITE HAVING ONLY 44,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WE WERE TOLD BY A NISSAN REP THAT THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR THE CAR. IF WE WANT THE CAR FIXED WE WERE TOLD BY THE NISSAN DEALER THE COST WOULD BE ABOUT $700. BECAUSE THE DOORS WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD IN THE EVENT WE WERE INCAPACITATED INSIDE THE CAR,OR A CHILD WERE TO GET STUCK INSIDE THE VEHICLE.
