2008 Nissan Rogue Complaint Log

IMPORTANT: IF YOU HAVE A COMPLAINT ABOUT YOUR TRANSMISSION, ACCELERATION PROBLEMS OR LOSS OF POWER YOU NEED TO ALSO A COMPLAINT WITH THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION (FTC 877-382-4357) REGARDING YOUR DEALINGS WITH NISSAN. I JUST SPOKE WITH THE FTC AND THEY TOLD ME THAT WHILE THEY DON'T RESPOND TO INDIVIDUAL COMPLAINTS IF THEY SEE PATTERNS THEY DO. THE ONLY WAY WE WILL GET NISSAN TO RESPOND TO US IS BY COMPLAINING ABOUT THEIR BUSINESS PRACTICES AS WELL AS THEIR SAFETY ISSUES. THESE DEALERSHIPS AND CORPORATE CONSUMER AFFAIRS KNOW THAT UNTIL ENOUGH OF US COMPLAIN TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE AND STOP JUST PAYING FOR NISSAN'S KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH THE CVT AND OTHER ISSUES, THEY WILL KEEP GIVING US THE RUN AROUND. I HAVE TO PUT MY 2ND TRANSMISSION IN MY 2008 ROGUE IN 12 MONTHS. NISSAN TELLS ME MY LAST NEW TRANSMISSION (APRIL 2014) WAS OUT OF THE 12 MONTH/12,000 MILE WARRANTY. THEIR BUSINESS PRACTICES ARE HORRIBLE. THESE CARS ARE UNSAFE AND PUTTING PEOPLE IN DANGER. PLEASE MAKE YOUR VOICE KNOWN AT THE FTC AS WELL AS HERE. TELL OTHERS TO DO THE SAME. WE DESERVE BETTER. CONTACT ME AT [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN HUNT HIGHWAY GOING 45 MILES PER HOUR WHEN I STARTED TO COME UP A HILL AND THE CAR CAME TO A NEAR COMPLETE STOP WITH NO WARNING BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION BINDING UP CAUSING ME TO ALMOST BE REAR ENDED AND MY TIRES TO SKID A LITTLE TILL I PUSHED ON THE BRAKES TO TRY AND WARN PEOPLE BEHIND ME AND HAD TO EXIT THE ROADWAY INTO A DIRT FARM FIELD TO AVOID BEING HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. *TR

MY VEHICLE LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ON WEDNESDAY. THE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE A BIT AND WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS PRESSED TO THE FLOOR, THE SPEED DECREASED TO ABOUT 30MPH AND THE ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE AN AIRPLANE TAKING OFF. THE CAR EVENTUALLY REGAINED ITS ABILITY TO ACCELERATE UNTIL I GOT OFF ON THE EXIT NEAR MY HOUSE AND THAT IS WHEN THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION AGAIN IN THE MIDST OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I'VE HAD THIS CAR AND EACH TIME I CALL THE DEALERSHIP THEY CLAIM TO NOT HAVE HEARD OF THIS EVER HAPPENING. IT EVEN HAPPENED ON A TRIP FROM TN TO SC. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE AND CONGESTED CITY STREETS. I AM NERVOUS ABOUT TAKING THE CAR ON TRIPS LONGER THAN 30-45 MINUTES LONG. THERE IS ALSO AN ISSUE WHERE THE TPMS LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON FOR DAYS. WHEN I HAVE IT CHECKED OUT, I'M USUALLY TOLD THAT THE AIR PRESSURE IS GOOD AND THAT THE LIGHT IS JUST MALFUNCTIONING. THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP DENIES HAVING KNOWLEDGE OF THIS ISSUE ALSO AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY A TON OF MONEY FOR THEM TO CHECK IT OUT. *TR

I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND I NOTICED THAT MY STEERING WHEEL JERKED SLIGHTLY THEN THE PS LIGHT CAME ON AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HAD HAPPENED UNTIL I HAD TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. AFTER THAT I DROVE IT TO THE CLOSEST PLACE TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT AND THIS OPERATION PRINTED ME OUT A REPORT CALLED NHTSA CAMPAIGN AND TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO THE ST. CHARLES NISSAN DEALER. ON MY WAY THERE THE PS LIGHT WAS OFF AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT THERE WITH NO ISSUES. THE EMPLOYEE AT NISSAN THAT HELPED ME SAID HE WAS ABLE TO LOOK AT IT AND TOLD ME THERE WASN'T ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE POWER STEERING. HE CALLED IT A GLITCH. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE FROM THE DEALER BACK TO WORK WITH NO PROBLEMS. AFTER WORK THE PS LIGHT CAME BACK ON WHEN I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. I WENT TO MY FRIENDS HOUSE TO PICK UP MY SON AND I STAYED FOR A FEW HOURS. WHEN I GOT BACK IN MY CAR THE PS LIGHT WAS OFF AND REMAINED OFF UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING RIGHT WHEN I PULLED INTO THE DRIVEWAY AT WORK. IT HAS REMAINED ON SINCE THEN AND HAS NOT TURNED OFF. THE CAMPAIGN STATES THAT IT'S FOR NISSAN ROGUE'S 2008-2009 VEHICLES BUT WHEN THE DEALER PUT IN MY VIN IT DID NOT SHOW UP FOR MY MODEL, HOWEVER THE MODELS THAT IT DOES SHOW UP FOR IS THE SAME VEHICLE AS MINE WITH THE SAME POWER STEERING ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE NISSAN TO TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR COVERING ALL PARTS AND LABOR TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. *TR

2008 NISSAN ROGUE AIRBAG DASHBOARD LIGHT SIGNALED THERE WAS A PROBLEM ON THE DASHBOARD. DEALER (NISSAN CHESAPEAKE, LOCATED IN CHESAPEAKE, VA) STATED THE AIRBAG DIODE WAS COMPLETELY DEFECTIVE AND THE AIRBAGS COULD NO LONGER DEPLOY. SINCE THE CAR HAD 62,300 MILES ON IT, NISSAN WOULD NOT OFFER ANY WARRANTY OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ON THE $1,400.00 BILL TO REPLACE THE DIODE. DEALER CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WAS EMBARRASSED THAT SUCH A PART WAS DEFECTIVE AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE. *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASHBOARD CAME ON. I HAVE TRIED TO RESET A FEW TIMES BUT IT WILL NOT RESET. DEALER WANTED $130 TO DIAGNOSE EVEN THOUGH THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED RIGHT AFTER I HAD THEM FIX ANOTHER RECALL. DON'T KNOW IF RELATED OR NOT. DEALER CLAIMS IT ISN'T. EMAIL REPLY FROM THE CONSUMER (SEPT 2, 2015): "I DIDN'T REPAIR IT. THE HORN DID NOT WORK BUT I SOLD THE CAR."...UPDATED 09/22/15 *BF THE CONSUMER HAS SINCE SOLD THE VEHICLE. UPDATED 10/01/15*JB

I HAVE BEEN REQUESTING NISSAN REPLACE THE SEAT CUSHION IN MY ROGUE SINCE THEY INSPECTED IT IN 2015. THEY HAVE REFUSED. NOW I SEE THERE IS A RECALL, AIR BAG OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS), AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED AND DO NOT SEE MY VEHICLE IN THE RECALL NOTIFICATIONS!!!!! I NEEDS MY SEAT CUSHION REPLACED, OR THE AIR BAG SENSOR WILL NOT ACTIVATE THE AIRBAG IN A COLLISION. I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE.

FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS, MY GAS GAUGE HAS BEEN READING INCORRECTLY AND WHEN I WOULD GO TO FILL OUT THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD NEVER SHOW COMPLETELY FULL. IN SOME CASES, I WOULD TURN ON THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD READ SUFFICIENTLY LESS THAN WHAT WAS IN THE TANK AND THEN CLIMB BACK UP TO WHAT I ASSUME WAS THE CORRECT LEVEL. MY LAST FILL UP, THE GAUGE READ 3 BARS LEFT OF FUEL AND I PUMPED 14.5 GALLONS OF GAS AT THE STATION WHICH IS EXACTLY MY GAS TANK SIZE. I THEN LOOKED ONLINE AND DISCOVERED SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR AND OTHER MODELS WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE BUT NO GOOD FIXES APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN FOUND. *TR

THE FUEL SENDING UNIT DOES NOT WORK. I FILL UP THE TANK AND IT DOES NOT READ FULL, AND IT IS UNRELIABLE. I CONTACTED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA AND THEY TOLD ME THE CAR IS NOT SUBJECT TO A RECALL OR WARRANTY EXTENSION SO TOO BAD. THIS IS A 7 YEAR OLD CAR! THIS SHOULDN'T FAIL! ALSO, NISSAN HAS ISSUED RECALLS FOR THE SAME PART FOR THE NISSAN FRONTIER AND ALTIMA, BOTH FOR THE 2008 MODEL YEAR.

FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE FAILED - DOOR COULD NOT BE OPENED. NISSAN HAD ISSUED AN SERVICE CAMPAIGN THAT COVERED REPAIRS IF THE ISSUE HAPPENED BY 72,000 MILES. ISSUE OCCURRED AT 74,000 MILES SO REFUSED TO COVER THE COST. THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE IF I NEEDED TO ESCAPE FROM THE VEHICLE FROM THAT DOOR. DUE TO THE SAFETY ASPECT, NISSAN SHOULD BE ISSUING A RECALL FOR THE LIFETIME OF THE VEHICLE. DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE HAD STARTED TO FAIL AT TIME OF REPAIR AND HAD TO BE REPLACED ALSO. AGAIN, NISSAN REFUSED TO HONOR THE SERVICE CAMPAIGN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DOORS FAILED TO OPEN FROM THE EXTERIOR OR INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT BOTH DOOR HANDLES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

I WAS TRAVELING HOME FROM WORK AND WAS ON AN INCLINE TRYING TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS AND I WAS JUST ABLE TO STOP IT BEFORE I WAS HIT AND CAUSED A MULTI CAR PILE UP DUE TO THIS FAILURE. LUCKILY I WASN'T TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED WHEN THIS HAPPENED SO NO MAJOR INCIDENT OCCURRED, THIS TIME, BUT IT COULD HAPPEN. *TR

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING A USED 2008 NISSAN ROGUE THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. FROM RESEARCHING THE MATTER ONLINE, IT SEEMS THAT MANY 2007-2008 NISSAN VEHICLES WERE RECALLED FOR A FAULTY SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THAT CANNOT DETECT WHEN ANYONE IS SITTING IN THAT SEAT - IN OTHER WORDS, NOT AN ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAG BUT WITH THE SEAT SENSOR. HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP WE PURCHASED THE USED VEHICLE FROM SAYS OUR VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL, ALTHOUGH OUR ISSUE MATCHES WHAT IS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL AND PERTAINS TO OUR YEAR VEHICLE. *TR

ON 11/20/14 I WAS ON HIGHWAY 80 DRIVING FROM ROSEVILLE CA TO PALO ALTO CA . I WAS IN THE FAR LEFT LANE (4 TOTAL) IN HEAVY TRAFFIC DOING APRX 50 MPH. WITH NO WARNING I COULDN'T ACCELERATE AND THE ENGINE ONLY REVVED WHEN I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL. I CUT OFF SEVERAL CARS TO GET TO THE RIGHT SIDE SHOULDER. AFTER I CALLED AAA A CHP SHOWED UP TO SEE IF I WAS OK. I EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED AND A TOW TRUCK WOULD ARRIVE IN ABOUT 2 HOUR DUE TO TRAFFIC. THE OFFICER SAID BECAUSE OF MY LOCATION I NEEDED TO REMAIN IN MY CAR UNTIL A TOW TRUCK ARRIVED. HE ALSO SAID HE WOULD REMAIN WITH ME UNTIL HELP ARRIVED. I WAS TOWED TO A SHOP IN FAIRFIELD CA (CLOSEST CITY). PAID $3,758 TO HAVE AN INDEPENDENT SHOP INSTALL A NEW NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION. FOUND OUT LATER NISSAN HAD EXTENDED THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES. MY CAR WAS WELL WITHIN THE WARRANTY REQUIREMENTS. I HAVE SPOKEN TO 2 NISSAN REPRESENTATIVES AND BOTH TOLD ME BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T DO THE REPAIR THERE WAS NOTHING THEY WOULD DO. I EXPLAINED I WAS FROM OREGON AND NEEDED TO BE HOME BY SATURDAY TO WORK. THE SHOP THAT DID THE WORK HAD ME ON THE ROAD THE NEXT DAY. THEY SAID BECAUSE THEY INSTALLED A NISSAN TRANSMISSION IT WOULD BE WARRANTED BY NISSAN. I ASKED IF I COULD SEND AN EMAIL TO SOMEONE HIGHER UP EXPLAINING MY SITUATION AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO NEED. I ASKED IF THEY WERE RECORDING OUR CONVERSATIONS AND WAS TOLD YES. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING IT'S ILLEGAL TO RECORD A CONVERSATION WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE OR APPROVAL. I HAVE CHECKED ONLINE AND AMAZED HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH NISSAN. I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE HAS BEEN INJURED BECAUSE OF THIS BUT WHAT IS HAPPENING IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NISSAN HAS KNOWN ABOUT FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSIONS FOR QUITE SOME TIME. *TR

THE CAR WILL BE AT A COMPLETE STOP AND YOU WILL PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL AND IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE, YOU CAN FLOOR THE GAS PEDAL, AND IT WILL HAVE VERY LITTLE REACTION. IN ADDITION, WHEN THIS ISSUE IS HAPPENING ALL YOUR LIGHTS STOP WORKING SO THE PERSON BEHIND YOU DOES NOT KNOW YOU ARE NOT AT A COMPLETE STOP. THIS IS NOT A CONSISTENT PROBLEM BUT YOU NEVER NOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN - IT'S LIKE THE CAR GOES INTO THIS AMNESIA STAGE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE REAR ENDED THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE CAUSING HIM TO CRASH INTO A SECOND VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

ON THE DATE LISTED ABOVE THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. MY WIFE AND I WERE IN FOUR LANES OF EASTBOUND TRAFFIC ON I40 IN BURLINGTON NC. WE LOST MOMENTUM IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND WERE LUCKY TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED IN MARCH 2008. IT HAD A KNOWN ISSUE WHERE GRINDING NOISES WERE COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. NISSAN FINALLY RELEASED A FIX AND MY CAR WAS UPDATED ON 11/30/2009. I BELIEVE THE CVT WAS DEFECTIVE OR DAMAGED BECAUSE OF A SLOW RESPONSE BY NISSAN. THE CAR WAS 20 MONTHS OLD BEFORE THE COMPANY REPAIRED THE VEHICLE SO THAT THE GRINDING NOISE WASN'T PRESENT. I ASKED NISSAN FOR DATA ON FAILURES AND - OF COURSE - THEY SAID THAT WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO BECAUSE THE CATASTROPHIC LOSS OF A TRANSMISSION COULD LEAD TO A DEADLY ACCIDENT. *TR

WHEN DRIVING FOR A LONG DISTANT AND PAST THE OVER 99.7 MILES THE GAS PEDAL GET STOCK AND CAR LOSSES POWER; ALSO AFTER DRIVING FOR A PERIOD OF TIME IT STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT CAR WOUND TAKE OFF WILL TAKE TIME TO PICK UP SPEED. HAVE TAKING IT TO THE A MECHANIC WHICH THE GAS PUMP WAS REPLACE AND IT KEEP DOING IT. I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THE SAME ISSUES. *TR

AS REPORTED BY MANY OTHER 2008 NISSAN ROGUE OWNERS, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT WAS FLASHING, INDICATING A NON-FUNCTIONAL AIRBAG (THE ENTIRE AIRBAG SYSTEM, DRIVER'S SIDE INCLUDED, WE FOUND OUT LATER). THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT ONE OF THE 200,000+ VEHICLES RECALLED (08V521000) FOR THE VERY SAME ISSUE WITH THE OCS (OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM). THE ONLY FIX, ACCORDING TO THE DEALER (AND THE SUBSEQUENT MULTIPLE CALLS TO NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS), IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE: 1) THE PASSENGER SIDE SENSOR DISABLES THE ENTIRE AIRBAG SYSTEM, AND 2) A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX ($1800-$2500) IS REQUIRED FOR A SAFETY SYSTEM SENSOR. IN LIGHT OF THE NEARLY 1 MILLION NISSAN VEHICLES RECENTLY RECALLED (2014) FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE,THE RECALL REALLY SHOULD HAVE APPLIED NOT ONLY TO THOSE INITIAL 200,000+ VEHICLES, BUT ALL THOSE VEHICLES WITH THE SAME SENSOR SYSTEM THAT THEY STILL HAVE NOT GOTTEN RIGHT. THIS IS POOR ENGINEERING AT IT'S BEST! *TR

MECHANIC CLAIMS THAT AS HE WAS BACKING MY CAR UP INTO A PARKING SPACE AND OUT OF NO WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL VIOLENTLY JERKED HURTING HIS FINGER. THEN WHEN THEY TOOK IT OUT FOR A TEXT DRIVE, GOING ABOUT 10 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL COMPLETELY LOCKED UP AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO TURN IT LEFT OR RIGHT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AS THE CHECK ENGINE WRNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE CVT VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 122,000.

OVER A PERIOD OF ABOUT 2 YEARS, I WOULD HAVE ACCELERATION PROBLEMS BOTH WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, HILLS OR AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. AT FIRST IT WAS ANNOYING AND A FEW SECOND LONG PROBLEM BUT IT GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND MORE DANGEROUS. I HAD AT LEAST 3-4 TIMES WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY WHERE I COMPLETELY LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE EVEN TO PULL OFF TO A SAFE LOCATION. IT WAS LIKE A STALL HAPPENED. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE TURNING INTO TRAFFIC TO MAKE SIMPLE TURNS AS WELL AS LEAVING TRAFFIC LIGHTS. IN NOVEMBER, I REPLACED MY TRANSMISSION BUT I BELIEVE NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THESE PROBLEMS AND ARE PUTTING CONSUMERS AT GREAT RISK. EVEN AFTER THE REPLACEMENT OF MY TRANSMISSION (AFTER HEARING NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 120,000 MILES) I STILL HAD PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATION. NOW 6 MONTHS LATER I HAVE STARTED TO HAVE WHAT I CONSIDER DANGEROUS EFFECTS. THERE IS AS MUCH AS A 5 SECOND DELAY BETWEEN HITTING THE ACCELERATOR AND THE ENGINE ENGAGING TO MEET THE TRANSMISSION. I HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR TODAY AND BOTH ON THE STREET AND HIGHWAY I AM LOSING THE ABILITY TO PICK UP SPEED EVEN WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. I WON'T ALLOW MY OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS TO DRIVE MY CAR AND PLANT OTAKE IT NISSAN THIS WEEK. I DO ASK THAT THE NTSB OR THE AGENCY ADDRESS THESE CONCERNS WITH NISSAN. I KNOW THEY ARE RAMPANT WITH THE CARS WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS. I BELIEVE I AM IN DANGER IN THIS VEHICLE AND I FULLY BELIEVE NISSAN IS AWARE OF IT. *TR

CVT TRANSMISSION WENT OUT HAD A LOUD HOWLING NOISE THE RPMS SHOT UP AND DOWN A FEW TIMES BIG VIBRATION THEN NOTHING. *TR

I FILLED ME VEHICLE UP ON MONDAY OF THIS WEEK, AND THE GAS GAUGE NEVER WENT ABOVE A 1/4 OF A TANK. WHEN I WAS DRIVING TO WORK MY CAR RAN OUT OF GAS AND I HAD NO IDEA BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN SHOWING ON E ALL WEEK, BUT I KNEW IT HAD GAS. SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN OCTOBER, IT HAS NEVER ACTUALLY GONE ALL THE WAY TO FULL NO MATTER HOW MUCH I FILL IT UP. I LOOK ONLINE AND ALL I'M SEEING IS THIS IS A HUGELY KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSAN'S. IT CAUSED ME LOST WORK AND I WILL NOW HAVE TO PAY $600+ TO GET THIS FIXED, WHEN IF THEY GOT IT RESOLVED THERE WOULDN'T BE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ONLINE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE, NO MATTER THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

NO ACCELERATION WHEN GAS PEDAL DEPRESSED. COASTED TO CURB. DANGEROUS SITUATION. CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED. NO PRIOR WARNING. *TR

WAS RETURNING FROM TRIP NORTH CAROLINA BACK HOME TO TENNESSEE ONCE ABOUT HOUR AWAY FELT CAR JUST START SLOWING DOWN CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE WHEN PUSHING ON GAS. WAS ABLE TO GET TO RIGHT HAND LANE AND GET OFF INTERSTATE JUST BEFORE CAR WENT TO A CRAWL. CAR WAS MAKING WHINING NOISE WHILE TRYING TO MOVE CAR FROM HIGHWAY. CAR CAME TO STOP AND UNABLE TO MOVE AGAIN. HAD CAR TOWED BACK TO MY HOUSE SENT TO SHOP TO FIND OUT THAT TRANSMISSION HAD MALFUNCTIONED. DOING RESEARCH ON TRANSMISSION FOUND OUT THE NISSAN ROUGE IS USING CVT TRANSMISSION AND THAT NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 120K OR 10 YEARS. MY RESEARCH ALSO FOUND OUT THAT OTHER NISSAN OWNERS OF ROGUE AND MURANOS WERE HAVING ISSUES WITH CVT TRANSMISSION. WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT ABOUT THE WARRANTY I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER CARE TO INQUIRE ABOUT THIS. I WAS TOLD MY MODEL AND MAKE QUALIFIED UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT MILEAGE DIDN'T MATTER. NISSAN DECIDED NOT TO ASSIST ME WITH REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT OF TRANSMISSION. I TRIED TO TELL NISSAN ABOUT LETTER THAT STATED THEY WOULD DECREASE COST EVEN ABOVE 120K. THEY REFUSED TO DO SO. I HAD NO WARNING SENSORS THAT THERE WAS PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A BAD ACCIDENT IF THE TRANSMISSION HAD OF WENT OUT DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC. IT APPEARS READING ABOUT OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCES WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS THAT NISSAN DOESN'T WANT TO OWN UP TO HAVING A FAULTY TRANSMISSION. EVEN SPEAKING WITH MECHANICS FROM OUTSIDE AND WITH NISSAN THAT THIS TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY AND MANY HAVE ISSUES AND COMPLAINANTS ABOUT IT. *TR

WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 3RD 2014, THE NISSAN WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE, AND HAS NOT STARTED SEANCE, I REPLACED THE FOLLOWING PARTS (FOR MY WIFE) ON THE BATTERY. THE POSITIVE TERMINAL CLAMP WAS CORRODED THROUGH TO THE POINT WE TOUCHED IT AND IT BROKE. (WE REPLACED THE PARTS FROM DEALERSHIP SEPTEMBER 8TH, 2014) BEFORE AND AFTER THE BATTERY TERMINAL AND FUSE PACK WERE REPLACED THE OBD2 WILL NOT CONNECT WITH THE COMPUTER SYSTEM IN THE CAR AT ALL. NOW NOT EVEN 24 HRS AFTER THE ABOVE LISTED PARTS WERE REPLACED, THE CAR BATTERY IS NOW DEAD, SITTING ON STREET WITH SYSTEM NOW RECONNECTED. AFTER PARTS WERE REPLACED THE CARE WOULD CRANK WITH NO START, (CRANKING WAS STRONG WITH NO LAG). NOW THERE IS NO CHARGE IN THE BATTERY NOT EVEN 12 HRS AFTER REPLACING THE PARTS. THIS IS DISCONCERTING BEING THAT WE HAVE HAD NO ISSUES WITH THE AUTO UNTIL NOW. WE DID NOTE THAT THERE IS/WAS A RECALL FOR SERVICE FOR 2008 NISSAN ROGUE AS LISTED BELLOW: 2008 NISSAN ROGUE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SERVICE BULLETIN 373732 NHTSA: ACTION NUMBER: 10055490 SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: 373732 REPORT DATE: APR 09, 2014COMPONENT: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SUMMARY: NISSAN: THE MAIN HARNESS TO BODY HARNESS CONNECTORS IS EXPERIENCING ELECTRICAL CORROSION ISSUES. 2008-2014 ROGUE. *PE SOURCE: HTTP://WWW.AUTOMD.COM/TSB/BULLETIN_B373732/ *TR

I HAVE CALLED THE NISSAN RECALL LINE TO PUT A COMPLAINT ON MY NISSAN, ROUGE, RECALL NO. NTB08-095A AND DID NOT WANT TO ACCEPT MY CLAIM SINCE THEY STATE THAT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT APPLY UNDER THIS RECALL. MY VEHICLE HAS THIS SPECIFIC DEFECT WITH THE AIR BAG AND NISSAN HAS STATED CLEARLY THAT THEY ARE WANTING TO FIX THIS AIR BAG (OCS) PROBLEM. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT MY VEHICLE HAS, ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG BEING SUPPRESSED WHICH COULD FAIL TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE PROTECTION IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. I AM OVERLY CONCERN THAT IF I DO HAVE AN ACCIDENT THAT I AM NOT PROTECTED ANY OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS WILL BE HURT, I WOULD LIKE THE NHTSA TO ADVICE ME WHAT I CAN DO SINCE THIS HAS BEEN A RECALL THAT I HAVE LOOKED IT UP IN THE RECALL SITE OF THE NHTSA. THANKS, *TR

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

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60 MPH MY CAR STARTED TO MAKE A WINDING SOUND BUT MY DASHBOARD DID NOT SHOW ANY WARNING LIGHTS IT QUICKLY STARTED TO LOSE POWER AND I IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO GET OUT OF THE FREEWAY. WHEN EXITING THE FREEWAY AND CROSSING A BUSY INTERSECTION MY CARD WOULD NOT RESPOND WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS, IT WAS NOT ACCELERATING AT ALL; MY SON QUICKLY ACTED AND PUSHED MY VEHICLE FROM THE BACK TO HELP ME CROSS THE INTERSECTION AND PARK SAFELY. IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS THAT A CAR CAN DECELERATES SO FAST WITHOUT WARNING. *JS

THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT READ THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL THE CAR HAS / THE CAR HAS LESS GAS THAN IT SHOWS.I HAVE BEEN TO THE NISSAN DEALER FIVE TIMES AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM - THEY HAVE CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL GAUGE TWICE. I HAVE REPORTED TO NISSAN CORPORATE AND THEY ADVISED THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE FOR THIS MODEL. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT STARTED BLINKING OUT OF NOWHERE. DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT BECAUSE MY SENTRA DID THIS BEFORE TOO, BUT STOPPED. FINALLY BROUGHT IT IN BECAUSE IT WASN'T GOING OFF AND TOLD BY MECHANIC THAT THERE IS A SHORT IN THE SPIRAL CABLE THAT WILL NOT DEPLOY AIR BAG. ELECTRICAL SHORTS CAN ALSO CAUSE FIRES. NISSAN IS REFUSING TO FIX IT BECAUSE IT IS NOT A CURRENT RECALL AND WE ARE JUST PAST WARRANTY NOW - EVEN THOUGH IT STARTED PRE-EXPIRATION. THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE AFFECTED BY MAINTENANCE OR ANYTHING WE COULD'VE DONE WRONG. IT CAUSES A SAFETY ISSUE IN TERMS OF FIRE AND AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. ADDITIONALLY, I WAS ABLE TO SEE MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE WEB. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY ARE ALL USING A TRICK TO GET THE LIGHT OFF, NOT REALIZING THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IF IN AN ACCIDENT OR CAR CAN START ON FIRE.

DRIVING AND SUDDENLY THE CAR WENT FROM 70MPH TO 50MPH. UNABLE TO GET IT TO GO ANY FASTER. TRANSMISSION IN SOME SORT OF SAFE MODE FROM OVERHEATING OR SOMETHING. I WAS ALMOST RUN INTO BY THE CAR BEHIND ME. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND EVERY TIME I HAVE ONLY NARROWLY AVOIDED A COLLISION. NISSAN SAYS THEY HAVE A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER THE PARTS ARE ON RESTRICTION, MEANING THAT THE DEALER CAN'T EVEN GET THEM IN. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND A RECALL ISSUED ASAP BEFORE PEOPLE START DYING FROM THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TRAVELING LONG DISTANCE ON THE HIGHWAY. ENGINE WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE ACCELERATOR IN A NORMAL MANNER ACCOMPANIED BY WHINY NOISES. PRESSED ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR AND RPMS WOULD INCREASE EXTREMELY SLOWLY AND NOT ABOVE 3000 RPMS. CONTINUED FOR THE REMAINING 2.5 HOURS OF OUR TRIP. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN ON OUR WAY HOME MULTIPLE TIMES. HAD EXTREME DIFFICULTY AFTER EXITING THE HIGHWAY AND HAVING TO STOP. VEHICLE BARELY MOVED FORWARD. *TR
