2008 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

YEARS BACK IWE HAVE DRIOVE OUR NISSAN 2008 TO A TRIP TO READING CA WE JUST HAVE BOUGHT THE CAR FROM A DEALER IN HAYWARD HANDA. WHILE WE WERE IN THE HILL CAR COULD CHANGE GEAR OR POWER WE WERE DRIVING 65 TO 70 MPR AND WENT DOWN TO 20 ON THE FREEWAY. VERY DANGEROUS SPECIALLY POOLING OVER AND HAVE THE CAR RELAX THIS WAS WHEN THE CAR HAD ONLY 70,000 MILES . WE LATER RECEIVED A LETTER FROM NISSAN THAT NEED TO RECALL AND UPDATE COMPUTER .WE TOOK IT IN AND MY HUSBAND COMPLAINED TO THEM THAT IT WAS MAKING A NOISE WHEN WE ACCELERATED AND HE ALSO MENTION THE FIRST TRIP AND SAID TO US EVERYTHING WAS OKAY . WE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM AFTER THAT MY HUSBAND ONLY DRIVE IT TO WORK AND HOME. WE RECENTLY TOOK CAR TO OREGON SAME ROUTE READING AND AS JEW ARE HITTING THE HILL SAME PROBLEM HAPPEN. I INVESTIGATED IT THIS HAPPEN TO THIS CAR AND A LOT OF OTHER CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE THIS CAR HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM CALL CUSRTSERVICE AND REFER US TO CONSUMER AFFFAIR WE ARE NOW SPEAKING TO A COSUMER AFFAIR REPRESENTATIVE THEY MADE US PAY TWICE A DIAGNOSTIC IN OREGON NOW IN CALIFORNIA AND I'M PENDING WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO OR HELP ME WITH THIS CAR. MY CAR NOW HAS 123000 THEY HAVE A EXTENDED THEIR WARRANTY TO 120000 . MY PROBLEM WITH NISSAN IS THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN INTO THEIR DEALERSHIP BEFORE THEY SAID IT WAS FINE AND IF I KNEW ABOUT THERE EXTENDED WARRANTY I WOULD HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN. NOW THE SECOND DIAGNOSTIC IN CALIFORNIA THAT I HAVE TO PAY 160 THEY SAID THAT I NEED NEW TRANSMISSION AND PENDING IN HOW THEY GOING TO HELP ME. THIS NOT ONLY IT WAS DANGEROUS BECAUSE I HAVE MY 8 MONTH DAUGHTER AND MY SON IN THE CAR AND HAVE IT STOP AND ONLY GO 20 MPR IN A HIGHWAY WHERE TRUCKS ARE PASSING FAST. AND ALSO STOP EVERY 20 MIN IN THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO LET CAR COOL DOWN. I HOPE THEY CAN DO SOMETHING BEFORE A FAMILY LOSES THERE LIFE FOR A NEGLECTED CAR THAT NISSAN

WHEN THE CAR IS ON - THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS FLASHING. I JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 6 DAYS AGO, I CAN'T SAY HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN ON.

CAR WILL LOOSE ACCELERATION WHEN DRIVING ON A FLAT HIGHWAY FOR NO KNOWN REASON, IT WILL GO FROM 70 MPH TO 30 PMH AND STRUGGLE TO MOVE. PRESSING ACCESLERATOR IS LIKE STEPPING ON AIR. GOING UP A SLIGHT INCLINE CAR WILL LOOSE ACCELERATION, AFTER 20-30 MILES DRIVEN WILL LOOSE ACCELERATION, AT STOP SIGNS, RED LIGHTS WILL LOOSE ACCELERATION WHEN GOING FROM BRAKES TO ACCELERATION NOTHING WILL HAPPEN CAR WILL NOT MOVE. CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN LESS THAN 5K MILES SINCE PURCHASED USED FROM DEALERSHIP. ALSO CANNOT USE OVERDRIVE MODE, ENGINE NOISE IS VERY LOUD AND GRINDING ROUGH SOUNDS ARE HEARD .IF USING CRUISE CONTROL ACCELERATION ISSUES PLUS ENGINE SOUND WILL BOTH TURN UP AT SAME TIME. THIS IS BOTH HIGHWAY DRIVING, CITY STREET DRIVING AND ALWAYS WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION.

I THINK I AM A VICTIM OF AN ODOMETER FRAUD SCHEME AND WANTED TO REPORT IT. IF THIS IS NOT THE PLACE TO REPORT IT OR IF I NEED TO DO ANYTHING FURTHER, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I LIVE IN OAKLAND, CA AND BOUGHT A USED CAR NISSAN ROGUE 2008 OFF OF CRAIGSLIST ON DECEMBER 23RD, 2016 FOR $5000. I BOUGHT IT FOR MY DTR AND SHE BEGAN TO HAVE A LOT OF TROUBLE WITH IT. WHEN I BOUGHT IT, IT WAS ADVERTISED AS HAVING 59K MILES. WE WERE HAVING SOME TROUBLE WITH IT THAT DID NOT FIT WITH THE MILEAGE AND WHEN WE MORE CAREFULLY CHECKED THE CARFAX THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE PREVIOUSLY WAS 156,788. MY NAME IS [XXX] THE NAME ON THE TITLE(SELLER) IS [XXX] (UNSURE IF THIS IS REAL NAME NOW) [XXX] THE CAR APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN SERVICED REGULARLY AT NISSAN SUNNYVALE IN SUNNYVALE, CALIFORNIA 408-470-4151 HAS BEEN REPORTED TO CALIF DMV; INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE EVEN AFTER THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS FULLY DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE RECURRED FOUR MORE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

OUR CAR INITIALLY WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FROM THE LIGHTS, SEEMED LIKE IT WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR. THANKFULLY WE WERE ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD AS IT WAS ON CA 99 , A PRETTY BUSY ROAD. AFTER A RESTART IT SEEMED FINE, UNTIL THE NEXT DAY WHEN WE WERE DRIVING HOME TO SOUTH LAKE TAHOE. THE TRANSMISSION WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND WOULD NOT GO OVER 3000RPM, PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS AS WE WERE DRIVING UP A MOUNTAIN ROAD AT NIGHT . SINCE THEN WE HAVE DRIVEN IT VERY LITTLE, BUT IT JOLTS REGULARLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WE HAVE EXPERIENCED SUCH SYMPTOMS AND THE SECOND TRANSMISSION IN THIS VEHICLE. THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT 69273 MILES, VEHICLE NOW HAS129000.

MY 2008 NISSAN HAS 54000 MILES ON IT. I HAD AN PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT OFF OCS CODEB1018 OCCUPANT SENSOR UNIT MALFUNCTION AND LOOKING UP ON IT NISSAN HAVE A MASSIVE RECALL ON THIS ISSUE ALL THE WAY TO 2017 VEHICLES. BASICALLY, IF THE PASSENGER IS LESS THEN 150LBS THE AIR BAG SHOULD NOT DEPLOY AS PER NISSAN BUT WITH THE SENSOR BEING FAIL AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY AT ALL EVEN IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THIS LEAVES THE PASSENGER WIDE OPEN FOR INJURY. I CALLED THE NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND IT SEEMS THEY ARE NOT CONCERNED AT ALL. THEY WANT TO ONLY TREAT THIS IF THE VIN IS UNDER RECALL AND NOT IF IT'S NOT UNDER RECALL. I BELIEVE IT'S A LIABILITY AND MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. NISSAN SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT EVERY VEHICLE AND NOT JUST THE ONE THEY ARE CALLING. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE ROBOTIC MENTALITY EITHER YOU WORRY ABOUT SAFETY OR YOU DON'T. YOU CAN'T HAVE BOTH WAYS. THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE TERRIBLE NOT ANOTHER NISSAN PRODUCT AND I WILL TELL OTHERS TO STEER CLEAR. SADLY IF IT WAS A VACUUM CLEANER I WOULD'VE GOT NEW ONE BY THE MANUFACTURER BY NOW. IT'S THE COST OF REPAIR NISSAN TRYING TO WING IT. ENTIRE SEAT NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE THIS CONCERN AND THE COST IS UPWARD OF 2000 DOLLARS AND NISSAN IS AWARE. SO IT'S NEVER ABOUT SAFETY IS IT? (OTC SCANNER ONLY ONE CODE) SEE PICTURE. I BELIEVE SINCE ITS A SAFETY HAZARD NISSAN SHOULD CHECK THIS CODE AT THEIR DEALERSHIP FREE OF CHARGE AND REPAIR THIS ISSUE FREE OF CHARGE. THEY NEED TO OWN UP TO THEIR ON GOING PROBLEM UP UNTIL 2017.

AFTER DRIVING FOR A WHILE, MY NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION STOPS WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN I TAKE OFF FROM A STOP AT A LIGHT OR INTERSECTION, THE CAR INITIALLY TAKES OFF FOR A FEW FEET, BUT THEN THE TRANSMISSION STALLS, AND THE CAR LITERALLY CREEPS THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AT A SNAILS PACE. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN IT OCCURS IN A BUSY INTERSECTION. YOU DO NOT KNOW IT IS HAPPENING UNTIL YOU ARE ALREADY IN THE INTERSECTION AS IT FEELS NORMAL WHEN YOU FIRST HIT THE GAS, AND THEN IT GOES INTO WHAT IS BEST DESCRIBED AS A VERY LOW GEAR. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE FROM THIS. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND EXTENDED ITS WARRANTY ON THE CVT TO 10 YEARS AND 120,000 MILE, BUT NEVER ISSUED A RECALL THAT I AM AWARE. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS ISSUE DID NOT OCCUR WITH MY VEHICLE UNTIL AFTER THE MILEAGE STATED. IT MAY HAVE TO DO WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE AND A FAIL SAFE MODE. THERE IS DISCUSSION OF SUCH ON THE INTERNET.
