2009 Nissan Rogue Complaint Log

I HAD DRIVEN MY 2009 NISSAN ROGUE FROM NEW JERSEY TO BOSTON, FAIRLY HEAVY TRAFFIC. AS I NEARED MY DESTINATION, I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. AS I PULLED AWAY TO TAKE A LEFT TURN, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND LIMPED ACROSS ROUTE 1, FORCING HEAVY, HIGH SPEED, ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO STOP. I SPOKE WITH THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT IT IS A PROBLEM AND THAT NISSAN IS NOT OFFERING A SOLUTION. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE NJ DEALER TO LEAVE IT FOR A COUPLE DAYS FOR THEM TO TROUBLE SHOOT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. AND HAD ME PAY TO CHANGE THE FLUID. THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND THE DEALER REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE CAR IS NOT PREDICTABLE AND SAFE TO DRIVE WITH MY 2 YOUNG DAUGHTERS. FWIW, THE DEALER THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION A FEW YEARS AGO UNDER WARRANTY FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. ANY LOCAL DEALER DENIES THIS ISSUE EXISTS DESPITE THE TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY ON THE INTERNET. HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/DIRECT/VIEW/.F213D8F. *JS

MY GAS GAUGE IS NOT READING PROPERLY SO ANY TIME MY TANK IS BELOW HALF FULL IT DISPLAYS RANDOM INACCURATE LEVELS. THERE ARE RECALLS ON MANY OTHER MODELS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM AND THE ROGUE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *TR

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 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 WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED BETWEEN 70-75 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. AFTER EXITING OFF THE INTERSTATE AND STOPPING AT THE STOP SIGN, I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AND IT STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE MOTOR WAS STILL RUNNING BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. THERE HAVE BEEN TWO OTHER INCIDENTS, 8/9/13 AND 10/10/13, WHEN I WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE AND MY ROGUE STALLS AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND I HAD CARS BEHIND ME AND CARS IN THE RIGHT LANE. I PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND WAS EVENTUALLY ABLE TO GET OVER AND HAD JUST ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND SAT FOR 5-10 MINUTES. I THEN PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND IT DROVE NORMAL. PEOPLE NEED TO BE MADE AWARE THAT THESE NISSAN VEHICLES WILL STALL WITHOUT WARNING AND IT SEEMS TO OCCUR MOST OFTEN WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS SO PASSING VEHICLES ON TWO WAY ROADS CAN BE DANGEROUS! I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY NISSAN THAT IT'S THE TRANSMISSION AND IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSAN.

VEHICLE SPEED DOES NOT APPLY TO THIS SITUATION. THE HANDLE ON THE PASSENGER DOOR FREEZES OR IT SPRUNG, INSIDE THE HANDLE ITSELF. WE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FIXED 3 TIMES NOW SINCE 2013, IF YOU CHECK THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF 2009/2010 NISSAN ROGUES THAT HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE WHY? WE WERE TOLD BY A PERSON AT ONE OF THE NISSAN DEALERSHIPS THAT THERE APPEARS TO BE WEAKNESS IN THE HANDLES MECHANISM. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS SHOULD THERE BE A FIRE, ACCIDENT ETC, AND SOMEONE NEEDED TO GET A PERSON OUT OF THAT SIDE OF THE CAR. AS IT IS NOW YOU CAN NOT OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE! MY HUSBAND HAS HAD IT FIXED 3 TIMES AND WE FEEL THIS HAS GOT TO BE A RECALL ISSUE DUE TO THE RECURRENCE OF THE HANDLE BREAKING OVER AND OVER. NOT TO MENTION SO MANY OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IT IS MY CONTENTION THAT IT SHOULD BE FIXED BY NISSAN AND NOT PAID FOR BY US THIS TIME. YOUR SPEED IN HANDLING THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN WHEN PROMPTED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN EVEN WHILE UNLOCKED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR PANEL WAS REMOVED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE PARTS THAT WERE REPLACED WERE UNKNOWN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

A HIGH-PITCHED WHIRRING SOUND MANIFESTED ITSELF WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, FOLLOWED BY A GRINDING SOUND, ALL COMING FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE TOWARDS THE REAR END. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC, WHO TOOK IT ON A TEST DRIVE. HE ALSO HAD ANOTHER MECHANIC DO THE SAME. BOTH DIAGNOSED IT AS A TRANSFER CASE FAILURE. I THEN TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER. AFTER THE TECH DROVE IT AND INSPECTED THE REAR END, IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A REAR DIFFERENTIAL THAT HAD FAILED. THE CAR ONLY HAS 74,300 MILES ON IT AND IS NOT USED FOR TOWING OR ANY OTHER SIMILARLY-DEMANDING ACTIVITIES. AT THE 50,000 MILE MARK THERE WAS A TRANSMISSION LEAK THAT ANOTHER NISSAN DEALER HAD TO FIX UNDER WARRANTY, BUT ONLY AFTER I CONTACTED NISSAN USA CONSUMER AFFAIRS. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO END TO THE ISSUES WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL CONCERNING THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND RELATED POWER-TRAIN COMPONENTS. IT IS PAST TIME FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO LOOK INTO THE HIGH RATE OF FAILURES WITH THESE MODELS. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A REASON NISSAN HAD TO MAKE A SPECIAL EXTENSION ON THE POWER TRAIN, DOUBLING THE LENGTH AND MILEAGE LIMIT. UNFORTUNATELY, THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS NOT PART OF THE POWER TRAIN AND I MUST PAY $2, 121 OUT OF POCKET FOR THE NECESSARY REPAIRS. *TR

THE VEHICLE PASSENGER AND/ OR DRIVER SIDE, DOOR AUTOMATICALLY LOCK WHEN CAR IS TURNED OFF. *TR

THE ELECTRICAL UNIT THAT CONTROLS THE PASSENGER AIR BAG, LOCATED IN THE RIGHT PASSENGER SEAT, HAS BEEN FOUND TO BE IN NONWORKING ORDER BY THE DEALER AND DEALER CLAIMS THERE IS NO ACTIVE RECALL REGARDING THAT MALFUNCTION. FOR THE DEALER TO REPLACE SAID PART WOULD COST THE OWNER $2000.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND A USED CAR WITH 82K MILES ON IT. AROUND CHRISTMAS I WAS ON MY WAY FROM MODESTO, CA ON THE I-80 BACK TO RENO, NV. I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL SET TO 70 AND WHILE GOING UPHILL THE CRUISE CONTROL SHUT OFF AND I BEGAN LOOSING SPEED REALLY FAST. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR BUT THERE WAS NOTHING. I HAD THE PEDAL FLOORED AND YET I KEPT LOOSING SPEED. AT FIRST IT HAPPENED ONLY ON HILLS, NOW IT'S HAPPENING ON FLAT LAND. I'VE ALSO NOTICED THAT GOING FROM A STOP TO GO POINT MY CAR ALMOST STALLS AS IF IT WERE A MANUAL, IT'S AUTOMATIC. I'VE ALMOST GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT A FEW TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM SAYS THEY, "CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM," SO I'M DRIVING AROUND THIS CAR HOPING FOR THE BEST UNTIL IT GETS WORSE AND ACTUALLY CAUSES AND ACCIDENT OR UNTIL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I DID RESEARCH AND THE SYMPTOMS FROM OTHER ROUGE OWNERS SIMILAR TO MY SYMPTOMS, ALL ENDED UP IN NEW TRANSMISSIONS... *TR

BOTH DRIVERS DOOR AND FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCKS NOT WORKING. THEY ARE NOT UNLOCKING WITH REMOTE OR KEY. THE REMOTE OPENS THE REAR DOORS ONLY, THEN YOU HAVE TO CLIMB IN AND REACH THE INSIDE FRONT LATCH TO OPEN THE DOOR. THEN GET OUT THE VEHICLE AND ENTER THRU THE FRONT DOOR. NISSAN HAD OR HAS RECALL ON THE 2008 ROUGE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY NOT ON THE 2009 ROGUE? I GOGGLED MY PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WE NEED A RECALL ON THE 2009 AS WELL. THANKS FOR LISTENING. *TR

CAR SPUTTERED, LURCHED, AND CAME TO A STOP ON US 190 HIGHWAY. IT REFUSED TO START AND APPEARED TO BE OUT OF GAS. HOWEVER, THERE WAS STILL 1/2 TANK AND TRIP ODOMETER AGREED WITH THE GAUGE. CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THE SOLE ISSUE WAS FOUND TO BE THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR, WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO ONLY AFFECT THE GAS MILEAGE. THE TOTAL COST WAS $700. AN ECONOMY DEVICE THAT CAN CAUSE SUDDEN FAILURE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. SOMETHING APPEARS TO BE WRONG WITH NISSANS CPU CODE FOR THIS VEHICLE. NO WARNING MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE DASH AT ANY TIME. *TR

A FEW MONTHS PRIOR TO MY TRANSMISSION FULLY BREAKING DOWN, I WAS EXPERIENCING EPISODES WHERE MY ROGUE WOULD LOSE ACCELERATION EVEN AS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS PRESSED AS FAR DOWN AS IT COULD. MAINLY THESE EPISODES WOULD OCCUR AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT. I WOULD BEGIN TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATOR NOR WOULD THE RPM'S INCREASE. SUDDENLY, THE "ENGINE" WOULD KICK IN AND I WAS QUICKLY AND FORCEFULLY PROPELLED FORWARD. THERE WERE A FEW EPISODES THAT OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THESE EPISODES WERE MORE FRIGHTENING AND THEY PLACED ME IN A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION OF BEING REAR-ENDED AT HIGH SPEEDS. THEN ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2012, MY FAMILY WAS LEAVING A VACATION TRIP AND HEADING HOME ON OUR 3+ HOUR DRIVE. NOT 2 MINUTES ON THE ROAD DID WE EXPERIENCE VERY LOUD GRINDING, CLUNKING AND ODD BEHAVIOR FROM OUR VEHICLE AS IT ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT GEARS. THIS NOISE/FEELING SEEMED TO MINIMIZE AS WE DROVE OVER 40 MPH UNTIL IT SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER. WE HAD TO ATTEMPT TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH OUR HAZARDS ON, AND THANK GOODNESS NO ONE WAS DRIVING BEHIND US OR I AM AFRAID WE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON A NORTHERN WISCONSIN HIGHWAY. SINCE THIS OCCURRED ON A SUNDAY AT 7:00 AM, WE DID NOT HAVE ANY POSSIBILITY TO TAKE IT TO A NISSAN DEALER OR TO RENT A VEHICLE TO GET HOME. WE WERE FORCED TO CONTACT A FAMILY MEMBER WHO GRACIOUSLY HAD A TRAILER AND DROVE THE 3+ HOURS TO GET US AND THEN TURN AROUND AND TOW US THE 3+ HOURS HOME. AFTER INSPECTION ON THE VEHICLE AT THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP, WE WERE INFORMED OF THE ISSUES AND EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I AM STILL FEARFUL OF WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO MY FAMILY. IT APPEARS THAT MANY PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE HAVE HAD THEIR TRANSMISSION REPLACED 2-3 TIMES. I FULLY SUPPORT A CVT RECALL!!!! *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, MY 2009 NISSAN ROGUE BEGAN OVERHEATING. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY MECHANIC WHERE HE FOUND COOLANT IN THE SPARK PLUGS SO REPLACED ALL PLUGS AND CHECKED THE RADIATOR. WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE, IT WOULDN'T START. HE CHECKED IT OVER AGAIN AND SAID THAT IT HAD A BLOWN HEAD GASKET. UNFORTUNATELY, THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY WAS ONLY GOOD FOR 5 YRS/60,000 MILES. I WAS 6,000 MILES OVER THE LIMIT. WHEN NISSAN WAS CONTACTED TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE POWER TRAIN. WHEN I ASKED THEM IF THEY HAD NOTICED A HIGH INCIDENCE OF POWER TRAIN PROBLEMS BEING REPORTED, I WAS TOLD "WELL, YES AND NO." HUH? *TR

VEHICLE WOULD START AND I WAS ABLE TO CHANGE GEARS BUT THESE WILL NOT ACTIVATE. EVEN WHEN ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE IT WILL NOT MOVE. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED. THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENCE; THE FIRST TIME WE EXPERIENCE THIS SITUATION WAS AT THE TIME WE TOOK THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE DEALER. AFTER STOPPING FOR GAS AND STARTING THE VEHICLE AGAIN IT ONLY MOVED FOR ABOUT 5 MINS, THEN STOPPED COMPLETELY. VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND A DIFFERENT VEHICLE PROVIDED (SAME MAKE AND MODEL); NOW THREE YEARS AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT WE HAVE THE SAME SITUATION (SAME SITUATION, TWO DIFFERENT VEHICLES, THREE YEARS TIMEFRAME). WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT CORRECTING THE SITUATION WILL COST BETWEEN $2500-3000. *TR

WHEN GOING OVER 60 MILES AN HOUR, USUALLY ABOUT AN HOUR INTO A LONG DRIVE, THE NISSAN ROGUE WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THE RPM INDICATOR GOES HAYWIRE AND MY FOOT IS COMPLETELY DOWN ON THE PEDAL BUT THERE IS NO ACCELERATION. THIS FIRST HAPPENED IN AUGUST 2012 WHEN I WAS DRIVING OVER A MOUNTAIN TO GET TO THE DESERT SO I THOUGHT THE CAR WAS OVERHEATING. SINCE THEN THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING CONSISTENTLY WHENEVER I DRIVE FOR OVER AN HOUR (WHICH I OFTEN DO FOR WORK). AT TIMES, THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD IF IT IS AT A STOPLIGHT EVEN WHEN MY FOOT IS COMPLETELY ON THE FLOOR. THEN IT REVS UP AFTER A MINUTE BUT NOT BEFORE EVERYONE ELSE STARTS HONKING. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU ARE ON THE FREEWAY AND SUDDENLY YOUR CAR STOPS ACCELERATING. ALL THE CARS BEHIND YOU START PASSING YOU BUT IT WILL ONLY TAKE ONE CAR NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO CAUSE A HUGE ACCIDENT, INJURY OR DEATH AND THEN NISSAN WILL BE IN REAL TROUBLE. I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF INCIDENCES AND COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER NISSAN ROGUE DRIVERS OVER THE PAST COUPLE YEARS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65-70 MPH. CAME TO A SLIGHT LONG INCLINE ON THE HIGHWAY. IT SLOWED TO 60 MILES PER HOUR WITH THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY PUSHED DOWN. WHEN I CAME TO A REST STOP AND TOOK OFF AGAIN-THE ACCELERATION WAS SLOW TO PICK UP SPEED. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I WAS COMING BACK FROM SEATTLE TO SPOKANE, WA GOING UP THE MOUNTAIN PASS. I COULD NOT GO OVER 30 MILES PER HOUR WITH THE ACCELERATOR PUSHED ALL THE WAY DOWN. IT HAPPENED ON ANOTHER HILL FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD. AGAIN WHEN I STOPPED-THEIR WAS A DELAY IN ACCELERATION. SINCE THIS A COMPANY CAR AND HAVE THE OPTION TO PURCHASE IT AT 80,000 MILES- I WILL NOT. BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO BUY IT AND GIVE IT TO MY DAUGHTER SINCE SHE WILL BE TAKING DRIVER'S EDUCATION THIS YEAR. I FEEL THAT THIS CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIALLY FOR A NEW DRIVER. I WILL NOT BE BUYING A NISSAN IN THE FUTURE FOR MY DAUGHTER. OR ANY OTHER NISSAN. I WILL ALSO LET OUR FLEETS DEPARTMENT KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE, IT STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED ONCE BEFORE FREE OF CHARGE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000. UPDATED 09/22/14*LJ UPDATED 02/23/2015 *JS

AT SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST COMING FROM OUT OF A STOP, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS ABLE TO PUSH THE PEDAL HARD TO GET ACCELERATION AND MANAGED TO REGAIN ACCELERATION. ON 7/9/12, WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT STEADY SPEEDS, I BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN TO SLOWING TRAFFIC, WHEN TRAFFIC PICKED UP I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET ACCELERATION OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I PUNCHED THE PEDAL TO THE FLOORBOARD AND GOT NO ACCELERATION WHATSOEVER. THE RPMS WOULD NOT INCREASE THE OVERDRIVE WOULD NOT RESPOND AND WAS JUST COASTING AT 40 MPH. THIS WAS SUCH A RISK AS I HAD FAST COMING TRAFFIC AND HAD TO PULL TO THE SLOW LANE TO NOT BE A HAZARD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY. THE VEHICLE NEVER REGAINED ACCELERATION AND HAD TO KEEP PEDAL PUSHED TO CONTINUE MOVING. I PROCEEDED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT THE INSISTED THAT SINCE THEY RECEIVED NO COMPUTER ERROR CODES OR COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND NOTICED IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO LOTS OF PEOPLE AND COULD BE SEVERAL POSSIBLE ISSUES. IT SEEMS MOST OF THE CAUSES ARE A RESULT OF LONG DISTANCE DRIVING WHICH I DO 4 TIMES A WEEK AND SOMEHOW RESETS UPON TURNING OFF AND TURNING BACK ON VEHICLE OR VEHICLE COOLING DOWN. THE DEALER "COULD NOT" SPARE THE TIME FOR SOMEONE TO DRIVE IT FOR THAT LONG SO THEY LEFT IT AT THAT.. I FEEL THIS IS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD AND HOPE THAT THIS ISSUE CAN BE DEALT WITH THE MANUFACTURER AS A RECALL. *TR

HEARD KNOCKING DURING ACCELERATION GAS PEDAL AROUND 20-40 MILES/HOUR . POSSIBLE CVT TRANSMISSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING UPHILL AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE NO TROUBLE CODES WERE DETECTED. THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS REPLACED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR A SECOND OPINION, WHO WAS ALSO UNABLE TO LOCATE A PROBLEM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN DRIVING IN WARM WEATHER FOR TWO HOURS OR MORE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

I WAS DRIVING FROM BALTIMORE TO PHILADELPHIA IN JUNE OF THIS YEAR. AFTER ABOUT 1 HOUR OF HIGHWAY DRIVING MY 2009 NISSAN ROGUE STARTED TO STALL AS I REDUCED SPEED TO GET ON THE RAMP OF ANOTHER HIGHWAY. I WANTED TO PICK UP SPEED IN ORDER TO MERGE ONTO THE NEXT HIGHWAY, BUT MY CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND. I HAD PUSHED THE ACCELERATING PEDAL TO THE METAL AND IT STILL WAS NOT RESPONDING OR RATHER GOING AT 40MPH. I EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND STOPPED THE ENGINE, TO GIVE IT A REST, BUT AS I PROCEEDED THE CAR STILL STALLED. I ENDED UP HAVING IT TOWED FROM MY HOTEL TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP LOCATED 6723 ESSINGTON AVENUE PHILADELPHIA, PA 19153. I WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS TOPPED OFF BUT THEY DID NOT SEE A LEAK. I DROVE THE CAR BACK TO BALTIMORE THE NEXT DAY, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN RECURRING. I HAVE HAD MANY NEAR MISSES) IS NISSAN WAITING TO HAVE FATALITIES IN ORDER TO REACT? I DO NOT WISH TO BE A STATISTIC. *TR

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WA TO CA I NOTICED WHILE DRIVING UP THE GREAT VINE MY 2009 NISSAN ROGUE STARTED TO DECELERATE FROM 70 MPH TO 45-55 MPH, I HAD MY FOOT PRESSED PEDAL TO THE METAL WITH NO ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE JUST MADE IT BUT WHILE AT ANOTHER SLIGHT HILL MY VEHICLE DID THE SAME THING HOWEVER THIS TIME IT REDUCED TO SPEED THAT POSED A SAFETY CONCERN WHILE ON A HIGHWAY. THE SPEED DROPPED FROM 70 TO ABOUT 30 IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. MY INFANT SON AND WIFE WERE IN THE VEHICLE AS IT STARTED TO SHUT DOWN I MANAGED TO GET OUT OF THE HIGHWAY BUT NOT BEFORE WE HAD BIG RIGS AND OTHER VEHICLES SLOW DOWN OR CHANGE LANES TO AVOID A COLLISION. MY VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER MOVE NOR WOULD FOR I HAD ZERO ACCELERATION CAPABILITIES. PLEASE RECALL THIS VEHICLE FOR IT POSES A SAFETY CONCERN THAT MAY CAUSE A SERIOUS INJURY, LAWSUIT AND EVEN DEATH TO AN OPERATOR, PASSENGER AND OR OTHERS. *TR

WE HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON, TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY SAID IT WAS NOTHING. WENT ON A TRIP 200 ISH MILES ON THE WAY HOME I HAD TO PASS A CAR AND WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS NOTHING HAPPENED. I WAS LEFT LOOKING AT ON COMING TRAFFIC AND HAD TO MOVE BACK OVER. NO ACCELERATION AT ALL. SCARED WE WERE GOING TO RUIN IT BY DRIVING ANY LONGER I PULLED OVER. WE HAD LUNCH AND TRIED AGAIN ABOUT AN HOUR LATER IT SEEMED FINE. ABOUT 15 MINS INTO THE DRIVE IT DID THE SAME THING. NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT I BELIEVE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE TRANSMISSION. ALSO YESTERDAY IT RAINED AND NOW THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT HAS COME ON. THE CAR IS FAR TO NEW TO HAVE THESE KIND OF PROBLEMS, AND THEY COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS A PASSENGER WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT WARNED THE PASSENGER THAT THE AIR BAG WAS NOT ON. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT HAD THE SEAT CUSHION REPLACED HOWEVER, THE REPAIR DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING THE MALFUNCTIONING AIR BAG SENSOR. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO ASSIST THE CONTACT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,448.

GAS GAUGE DOES NOT READ CORRECTLY. WHEN ATTEMPTING THE FILL THE TANK IT TRIPS THE NOZZLE AT THE PUMP NOT ALLOWING THE ATTENDANT TO FILL THE TANK. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON I-25, MY CAR SET ON CRUISE CONTROL AT 75 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY THE SPEED DROPPED TO 45 MPH IN A MATTER OF SECONDS - WITHOUT WARNING. I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR BUT IT DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. THERE WAS ALSO A WHINING SOUND LIKE THE CAR WAS WORKING EXTRA HARD. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY; FORTUNATELY, THERE WERE NO CARS BEHIND ME. I WAS CONFUSED AND DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED SO I SAT THERE A FEW MINUTES THINKING THE CAR OVERHEATED. I THOUGHT I WOULD GIVE IT A CHANCE TO COOL DOWN. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES, I PUT MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON AND GOT BACK ON THE ROAD. I KEPT THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON AND DROVE SLOWER TO SEE IF IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. IT SEEMED TO BE OKAY AS LONG AS WE DIDN'T HAVE TO GO UP HILL AND I KEPT MY SPEED DOWN, I TESTED IT ALONG THE WAY. UPON TAKING IT IN TO NISSAN FOR INSPECTION, THEY THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO TOO MUCH TRANSMISSION FLUID, PUT IN AT THE FACTORY, SO THEY REMOVED SOME. AFTER A COUPLE MONTHS I GOT BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME NISSAN REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. I DON'T FEEL SAFER, AS I UNDERSTAND THIS CVT PROBLEM OCCURS IN MOUNTAINOUS AREAS, SUCH AS COLO. I HAVE ALSO READ BLOGS FROM PEOPLE WITH 08 & 09 ROGUES THAT HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AND IT WENT OUT AGAIN, NOT ALWAYS RIGHT AWAY. DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS THEN QUICKLY LOSING SPEED WITH NO INDICATION (BRAKE LIGHTS) TO THE DRIVERS BEHIND IS WITHOUT QUESTION A POTENTIALLY DEADLY SITUATION. I STILL FEAR IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I WON'T DRIVE MY ROGUE IN MOUNTAINOUS AREAS AND STAY AWAY FROM HIGHWAYS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. I PURCHASED THIS ROGUE WITH THE EXPECTATIONS IT WOULD TAKE ME WHERE I NEED TO GO SAFELY. I HAVE ASKED NISSAN TO SWITCH VEHICLES WITH ME - ASKING FOR A MODEL THAT DOESN'T HAVE SAFETY ISSUES. THEY REFUSED. *TR

UNDER THE COLD WEATHER, BOTH OF THE FRONT DOORS COULDN'T OPEN FROM OUTSIDE SINCE THE LINKAGE OF THE DOOR LOCK FROZEN AND THE CABLE WAS DETACHED. THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED UNDER A RECALL, HOWEVER, IT IS NOW HAPPENING AGAIN IN DEC 2014. IT IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU HAVE TO OPEN DOORS FROM THE BACK TO GET ACCESS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES WERE WEARING PREMATURELY. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT SHE HAD TO REPLACED THE BRAKES EVERY 10,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS NORMAL AND THE VEHICLE WAS PERFORMING TO SPECIFICATIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 44,000.

LOOSES POWER AND SLOWS IN FREEWAY TRAFFIC. IF I HAD KNOWN I COULD SEND MY COMPLAINT TO YOU, I WOULD HAVE DONE SO A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WHEN I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO NISSAN USA . WHAT A JOKE THIS AUTO IS! AND WHAT A JOKE NISSAN IS!

ON 12/30/10 AT 11,300 MILES. WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL CAR WOULD MAKE A GRIND AND CREAKING NOISE FROM FRONT END AT RANDOM TIMES. DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE SOUND. ON 12/29/11 AT 16,448 MILES. WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL AT ANY SPEED THE CAR WOULD MAKE A GRIND AND CLUNK NOISE FROM THE FRONT END. THE SOUND BECAME GRADUALLY WORSE OVER TIME AND WAS CONSISTENTLY HEARD. BROUGHT CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY REPLICATED SOUND AND REPLACED BOTH FRONT STRUT BEARINGS. REPAIRS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. ON 8/14/13 AT 23,839 MILES. RETURNED CAR TO DEALERSHIP FOR GRIND AND CLUNK SOUND AGAIN. DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED SOUND. THEY REMOVED AND REPLACED LEFT FRONT STRUT BEARING. CAR WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY BUT MANUFACTURER WAIVED CHARGES. *TR

NISSAN ROGUE DOES NOT HAVE SEAT BELT SENSORS FOR THE BACKSEAT. NO WAY OF KNOWING IF CHILD HAS UNBUCKLED !!! *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT REGISTER PROPERLY. IT WILL NOT SHOW A FULL TANK OR NO GAS. IT ONLY SHOW 80 TO 90 PERCENT FULL AND DOES NOT GO BELOW 1/4 TANK, EVEN WITH NO GAS. *TR

TOOK MY 2009 ROGUE IN NOVEMBER DUE TO FUEL GAGE NOT SHOWING ACCURATE FUEL INTAKE. IT WAS RELEASED THE SAME DAY WITH THEY DIDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. TOOK IT BACK IN DECEMBER BECAUSE THE CAR DIED OUT DUE TO NO GAS BUT FUEL GAGE SHOWED ALMOST HALF TANK (MY 2 YEAR OLD SON WAS ME AND WHEN I CALLED NISSAN THEY SAID TO TOW IT BUT I HAD TO PAY FOR THE TOWING). NISSAN ORDERED THE PART IT CAME IN AND INSTALLED DECEMBER 24 2011 BUT WHEN I TRIED TO FILL TANK UP IT ONLY REGISTERED AT HALF TANK. TOOK THE CAR BACK IN THEY DROPPED THE TANK, EMPTIED THE TANK CHECK THE WIRINGS AND SAID IT WAS FINE THIS WAS IN JAN 4 2012 PICKED CAR UP ON JAN 11 2012 AT FULL TANK. CURRENTLY AS OF TODAY, JAN 17 2012 CAR IS AT 250 MILES BUT FUEL GAGE IS ONLY SHOWING HALF TANK WHEN IS SHOULD BE AT LEAST 3RD BAR TO THE END. CALLED NISSAN FOUND OUT THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT BECAUSE MILEAGE WAS OVERLOOKED THEY WILL TRY TO FIX IT AGAIN. BY THE WAY I LIVE IN GUAM. WILL UPDATE AFTER I TAKE IT IN AGAIN. *TR

AFTER DRIVING 2009 NISSAN ROGUE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR TWENTY OR MORE MILES, THE VEHICLE BEGINS MAKING HIGH PITCHED WHINE ON ACCELERATION, AND THE SMELL OF BURNING TRANSMISSION FLUID IS PRESENT. UPON COMPLETING A STOP AFTER TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE VEHICLE FAILS TO ACCELERATE UPON DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. THE VEHICLE FAILS TO MOVE FOR APPROXIMATELY FIVE SECONDS, THEN IT PROCEEDS TO MOVE VERY SLOWLY. THE VEHICLE ENGINE DOES NOT REV, THE RPM GAUGE REMAINS AT IDLE, EVEN WITH THE ACCELERATOR FULLY DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE. IN SITUATIONS REQUIRING QUICK BURSTS OF SPEED, SUCH AS ENTERING A MULTI-LANE HIGHWAY FROM A SIDE STREET, THIS HAS PLACED THE VEHICLE IN THE POSITION OF BLOCKING THE HIGHWAY WHILE FAST MOVING VEHICLES ARE APPROACHING. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS A TRANSMISSION SPECIALTY REPAIR SHOP AND HAVE BEEN TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. *TR

I AM 5'1" AND APPROX 105 LBS. WHEN I OR A FRIEND (UNDER 110 LBS) SITS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF LIGHT GOES ON. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE. LAST TIME THEY REPLACED THE SEAT AND AIRBAG SENSOR. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. I TOOK IT IN AGAIN TODAY AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING MECHANICALLY WRONG/MALFUNCTIONING JUST THAT THE SEAT AND SENSORS ARE DESIGNED TO TURN THE AIRBAG OFF IF AN ADULT WEIGHS UNDER 110 LBS. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, IF I OR A FRIEND (WHO ISUNDER 110 LBS) IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WE WILL NOT BE PROTECTED BY THE AIRBAG. I AM FRUSTRATED. WHY WAS I LEASED A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT SAFE? I PREVIOUSLY HAD A MURANO AND DID NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE LOOKED AT CURRENT MURANOS AND DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. IT ONLY OCCURS WITH THE ROGUE. *TR

MARCH 23, 2011 DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE WENT IMMEDIATELY FLAT. UPON INSPECTION, THE PRESSURE SENSING VALVE STEM SEAL FAILED. ONLY ABOUT 1/8 OF THE STEM COULD BE FOUND. THE FAILED SENSOR STEM ALLOWED THE TIRE TO BLOW DOWN INSTANTLY. PICTURES OF THE FAILED STEM, TIRE AND RIM WHERE COLLECTED TO SHOW THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE RIM OR TIRE TO CAUSE THE STEM TO FAIL. TIRE AND RIM WERE TAKEN TO NISSAN DEALER AND STEM WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THANKFULLY IT WAS THE REAR TIRE AND NOT A FRONT TIRE. *TR

THE DRIVER'S, PASSENGER'S AND REAR DRIVER'S DOOR LOCKS DO NOT LOCK/UNLOCK PROPERLY. IT BEGAN WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR FAILING TO OPERATE PROPERLY ONCE EVERY 3-4 WEEKS. I HAD THE DOOR HANDLE RECALL WORK COMPLETED IN MARCH 2011 SO I THOUGHT THE REMOTE'S BATTERY WAS WEAK AND REPLACED IT IN DECEMBER 2011. THEN THE MALFUNCTION STARTED TO OCCUR MORE FREQUENTLY. AFTER A FEW MONTHS, THE DRIVER'S DOOR LOCK WOULD NOT UNLOCK FOR ENTRY TO THE CAR OR LOCK ONCE I WAS INSIDE. TO GAIN ENTRY TO THE CAR, I WOULD HAVE TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S REAR DOOR AND REACH FORWARD TO UNLOCK THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. I HAD THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LOCK REPLACED IN MARCH 2012. NOW THE PASSENGER DOOR IS INOPERATIVE AS WELL AS THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. I MUST GET IN THE CAR AND REACH TO LOCK/UNLOCK THE DOORS FROM THE INSIDE. IF EVER QUICK ENTRY OR EXIT FROM THE CAR IS NEEDED, SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE HARMED. A CHILD IN A CAR SEAT, A PERSON WITH LIMITED MOBILITY OR THE ABILITY TO MAKE A QUICK DECISION IS TRAPPED UNLESS I AM ABLE TO QUICKLY REACH TO LOCK/UNLOCK THE DOORS. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN WHO TELLS ME THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THAT THEY WILL GIVE ME A $500 DEALER ASSISTANCE TOWARDS A $1700 BILL FOR A DEFECTIVE SYSTEM. I FOUND ON THE INTERNET OTHER 2009 ROGUE OWNERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. THE MURANO AND THE JUKE HAVE ALSO BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT SEEM TO BE AIMED CORRECTLY. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IT WAS NOT A PROBLEM. WHEN DRIVING ON A POORLY LIT HIGHWAY LATE NIGHT OR EARLY MORNING, THE HEADLIGHTS DO NO PROJECT FAR ENOUGH OUT TO SEE THE ROAD AND DRIVE SAFELY. *KB

2009 NISSAN ROGUE , GAS GAUGE NOT WORKING PROPERLY,IT GIVES A FALSE FULL READING AFTER 120 TO 130 MILES. *TR

I TAKE MY CAR A LOT OF TIMES TO THE DEALER FOR THE TIRES LIGHT SENSOR THEY TURN IT OFF AND ASS SOON I DRIVE THE CAR THE LIGHT COMES OUT AGAIN THAT HAPPENED LIKE 5 TIMES TILL THEY SAY THE CAR HAS A RECALL......

2009 NISSAN ROGUE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE DOOR HANDLES LATCH ASSEMBLY FREEZING PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE DRIVER'S DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE CABLE ON THE ACTUATOR HAD BECOME DETACHED. THE DEALER ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR IT, BY RE-ATTACHING THE CABLE. IN NOVEMBER 2011, DURING FREEZING TEMPERATURES, THE DOOR FAILED AGAIN. THE CABLE HAD DETACHED AGAIN. SO THE MECHANIC RE-ATTACHED IT WITH A WIRE TIE. ON DECEMBER 19, 2013, THE DOOR FAILED AGAIN, WHEN THE CONSUMER WALKED AROUND TO THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR, HE DISCOVERED IT HAD FAILED AS WELL. THE CONSUMER DISCOVERED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN HAD BEEN ISSUED FOR THE PROBLEM. *JB

DURING THE COLD WEATHER, AND IT HAPPENS IN EVERY WINTER THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT SHIFTING IN THE MORNING, IT STAYED AT HIGH RPM WHEN GAS PANEL WAS APPLIED. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS SINCE MY COMMUTE STARTED WITH A HIGHWAY. *TR

3RD FAILURE - SAME PROBLEM WITH 2009 NISSAN ROGUE 4CYL W/CVT. CAR LOSES POWER - WHEN STEPPING ON GAS, CAR ONLY CREEPS FORWARD, ACCELERATING VERY SLOWLY AS IF IT'S NOT GETTING GAS OR AS IF YOU ARE STARTING OFF IN A HIGH GEAR. ATTEMPTS TO MANUALLY DOWNSHIFT HAVE NO EFFECT; SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL ALLOWS ENGINE TO REV FREELY. LAST TWO INCIDENTS OCCURRED WITH WIFE AND 2 YOUNG CHILDREN IN CAR ON BUSY ROAD - VERY HIGH SAFETY RISK AS THE PROBLEM OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING, LEAVING THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY NEARLY POWERLESS IN TRAFFIC. FIRST TRIP TO DEALER (PROBLEM WAS LESS SEVERE/FREQUENT FIRST TIME) PROMPTED SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO "FIX" UNDER AN OPEN TRANSMISSION-RELATED SERVICE CAMPAIGN, THE DESCRIPTION OF WHICH DID NOT FIT THE PROBLEM, BUT THE CAR WORKED PROPERLY UPON RECEIPT. PROBLEM RETURNED A MONTH LATER WITH GREATER SEVERITY - CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. CAR WAS IN SHOP FOR A WEEK AS NECESSARY PART WAS ON BACKORDER - "THIS IS A PROBLEM WE'VE BEEN SEEING LATELY," WE WERE TOLD. UPON RETURN CAR NEVER FELT FULLY LIKE IT DID WHEN NEW - WOULD OFTEN HESITATE SLIGHTLY WHEN GOING UP A GRADE BEFORE PICKUP RETURNED. DEALER "UNABLE TO REPRODUCE" THIS VERY FREQUENT PROBLEM WHEN BROUGHT IN FOR REVIEW, SO WE JUST LIVED WITH IT. THIRD INCIDENT OCCURRED LAST WEEK WITH HIGH SEVERITY, AGAIN, PUTTING WIFE/CHILDREN AT RISK IMMEDIATELY AFTER PULLING ONTO A BUSY MAIN ROAD. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE INCIDENT. CAR IS NOW AT DEALER FOR FURTHER EVALUATION. CAR IS ON LEASE; REQUESTS THUS FAR TO BE RELEASED FROM REMAINDER OF TERM BASED ON RECURRING SAFETY CONCERNS HAVE BEEN DENIED. CAR HAS 12K MILES ON IT AT 2 YEARS IN OUR POSSESSION, HAS BEEN FULLY MAINTAINED ACCORDING TO OWNER'S MANUAL AND IS IN EXCELLENT OVERALL SHAPE. I AM UNCOMFORTABLE PUTTING MY FAMILY IN THIS VEHICLE AGAIN GIVEN THE RECURRING FAILURE AND TYPE OF FAILURE. HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/WEBX/.F1697DE?DISPLAYRECENT FOR REPORTS OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND POOR RESOLUTION FROM MFR. *TR

BOTH FRONT DOORS GOT JAMMED? AND WOULD NOT OPEN. CAR WAS IN NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR ALMOST 2 WEEKS TO FIX. *TR

TAKING A ROAD TRIP WHEN A ROCK OR OTHER OBJECT PUNCTURED MY CONDENSER. DEALER SAYS IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND CAR IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD. IT COMES WITH A HEFTY PRICE TAG OF $750. HOW OFTEN CAN I EXPECT TO PAY TO HAVE MY CONDENSER FIXED FROM FLYING OBJECTS? CAR IS A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE SEAT CUSHION OCS UNIT. AIRBAG LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON.
