THIS HAPPENED ON 3 OCCASIONS BEFORE I TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. WHILE DRIVING (TWICE ON THE FREEWAY AND ONCE ON SURFACE STREETS) THE THE CAR BEGAN TO ABRUPTLY LOOSE/DECREASE SPEED DESPITE MY ATTEMPT AT MAINTAINING SPEED BY ACCELERATING, THE CAR'S RPM METER BEGAN ACTING ERRATICALLY, AND THE ENGINE BEGAN MAKING A SOUND AS IF STRUGGLING. IN ALL CASES I HAD TO PUT ON MY HAZARDS, MOVE OVER/PULL OVER AND I HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF IN HOPES THAT IT WOULD "RESET." WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALER I WAS TOLD MY TRANSMISSION WAS OVERHEATING REPEATEDLY AND FAILING INTO A SAFE MODE. THEY SAID THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE NISSAN CVT (ROGUES) AND REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM UNLESS A TRANSMISSION COOLER SYSTEM WAS ADDED TO FIX THE ISSUE. I WAS TOLD A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN EXISTED AS IT WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM BUT WE WERE NEVER MADE AWARE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE. INSTEAD OF NISSAN PROACTIVELY LETTING CUSTOMERS KNOW THIS SO THAT WE COULD FIX IT OR ISSUE A RECALL TO PREVENT UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS THEY JUST IGNORED IT. I WAS TOLD TO CONTACT NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS WHICH I DID AND SPOKE WITH A WOMAN NAMED "LAURA" WHO AGREED TO PAY FOR A PORTION OF THE REPAIR (70%) BUT WOULD NOT SEND ANYTHING IN WRITING, GIVE ME HER LAST NAME OR DOCUMENT THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND SAFETY HAZARD. SHE STATED THAT THEY WERE AT NO OBLIGATION TO EITHER BE PROACTIVE OR COVER THE FULL COST OF THE ADDITIONAL COOLING SYSTEM AS THERE WAS NO RECALL IN PLACE.

THE AIRBAG WAS BEING RECALLED AND BROUGHT TO REPAIR SHOP TO FIX. NOW THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AGAIN AFTER IT WAS FIXED.

DRIVER SIDE FLOOR BROAD CORRIDISON. SAW ON WEBSITE THAT THIS CAN CAUSE A FIRE. NOTICE THE DAMAGE AFTER I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE.

THE BLOWER MOTOR FOR MY HVAC IS SHOWING THAT IT IS BLOWING, YET NOTHING COMES OUT. THIS MEANS THAT MY DEFROST WILL NOT WORK MAKING IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

WHILE DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AT A GREEN LIGHT MY VEHICLE SHUT DOWN ... IN DRIVE. I PLACED MY FOOT ON THE BREAK TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK NO HAZARD LIGHTS CAME ON. I TURNED THE CAR OFF COMPLETELY PLACED MY FOOT ON THE BREAK AND STARTED THE CAR UP AND PROCEEDED TO PLACE THE CAR IN DRIVE ONCE IN DRIVE THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN LEAVING ALL LIGHTS ON WITH NO HAZARD LIGHTS. I STARTED THE CAR UP AGAIN PLACED THE CAR IN REVERSE THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN ONCE AGAIN IN REVERSE I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BREAK TO SHIFT BACK INTO PARK. I CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT NO MATTER WHAT GEAR I SHIFT TO THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN IN GEAR NOT MOVING

MY 2014 NISSAN ROGUE SUDDENLY DECELERATES WHEN I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT GOES FROM 60 OR 70 MPH TO 20 OR SO IN SECONDS. IT IS TERRIFYING. MY DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, AND IT WAS BETTER. BUT IT IS NOW HAPPENING AGAIN. THE DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO RECORD OF A PROBLEM ON THE CAR'S COMPUTER AND WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. I NOW SEE THAT MANY NISSANS HAVE A SERIOUS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND SUSPECT THAT IS WHAT IS CAUSING THIS.

CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE AFTER STOPPING AND TRYING TO YIELD TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR TURN AT A STOP SIGN. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN DECIDE TO GO AND THE RPM GOES UP REALLY HIGH.

CAR DROVE FINE THEN IN THE MIDDLE OF GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION THE VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. CHECK CODE IT WAS P1778 FOR STEPPER MOTOR. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 87000 MILES ON IT. BROUGHT TO A TRANSMISSION STOP TO REPLACE THE VALVE BODY TO HAVE A NEW STEPPER MOTOR. HAD THE PART PUT IN TO FIND OUT THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION FAILED. WE COULD'VE BEEN KILLED IN THE BUSY INTERSECTION WITH THIS HAPPENING WITHOUT WARNING.
