2009 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

I BOUGHT THE CAR USED, TO GET TO WORK AND THE MANY DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT THAT I CURRENTLY HAVE (I AM BREAST CANCER SURVIVOR WITH A LOT OF SIDE EFFECTS). WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING LOCALLY WHEN I PUSHED ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR DIDN'T ACCELERATE. IT HAPPENED JUST FOR A MOMENT AND THE CAR DROVE FINE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME SO I HOPED IT WAS ONE TIME THING. A DAY OR TWO LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN, TELLING ME THAT THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WASN'T RANDOM. THAT'S WHEN I RESEARCHED THE SYMPTOMS AND SAW I WASN'T ALONE. THAT'S WHEN I ALSO LEARNED THAT NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY. I FOUND OUT I WAS OVER THE MILEAGE, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY I BALKED BECAUSE I KNEW OF THE MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE/HAD THIS PROBLEM AND I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A MECHANICALLY DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION. IN THE MEANTIME I'M GENTLY DRIVING THE VEHICLE: SHORT TRIPS, NO HIGHWAYS AND 40 MPH OR LESS. IF WHAT I READ IS TRUE AND THE LOSS OF ACCELERATION (WHICH HAPPENED A THIRD TIME WITHIN JULY) IS THE CAR GOING INTO SAFE MODE THEN I'LL DO WHAT I CAN TO AVOID AGGRAVATING THE VEHICLE UNTIL I TAKE IT IN FOR THE NEW TRANNY COOLER. I REALLY HOPE THIS RESOLVES MY PROBLEM. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ON THE CVT I FOUND OUT THAT THEY ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR ISSUES AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WENT INTO PLACE. OF COURSE I AM OVER BY 30,000 BUT I SAW THAT IF YOU ARE OVER YOU SHOULD STILL CONTACT NISSAN. I DID AND STARTED A CLAIM GOT A CALL BACK FROM THE MIDWEST CORPORATE GAY WHO TOLD ME TOO BAD WE CAN NOT HELP. I NEED HELP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING NORMALLY AND COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS NEEDED. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE TO THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,400.

CVT CONTINUES TO FAIL. IT WAS REPLACED AT 73K MILES AFTER FAILING; IT NOW IS GOING INTO FAIL SAFE MODE DUE TO OVERHEATING ISSUES. THIS SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON ROGUE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THE 100K WARRANTY WOULD BE FOR THE REPLACEMENT CVT BUT AM NOW BEING TOLD BY DEALER THAT REPAIRS WERE 12K OR 12 MONTHS. CVT IS SHOWING SIGNS OF POOR SHIFTING AND POWER LOSS ON HILLS. FREQUENTLY WON'T START MOVING FOR FEW SECONDS AT TRAFFIC LIGHT. PLEASE HELP WITH RESOLVING THE PROBLEM WITH ALL OF US ROGUE CUSTOMERS/OWNERS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING NOW FOR MONTHS AND I AM WORRIED FOR MY FAMILIES SAFETY. THANKS

THE CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED IN JUNE 2016 WITH 122K MILES, JUST 7 YEARS OLD. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH 4 OTHERS IN THE SUV WHEN THE VEHICLE JERKED MADE A HOWLING NOISE AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE. LUCKY I WAS ABLE TO COAST ONTO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. I WENT TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THE COST WILL BE $3600. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, NISSAN NORTH AMERICAN, AND BBB BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS ARE FAULTY AND MAY NOT BREAK UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NISSAN DOES NOT WANT TO COVER THE COST NOR ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR CVT TRANSMISSIONS. THERE ARE MANY CUSTOMERS ON VARIOUS WEBSITES REPORTING TRANSMISSION FAILURES AND ALL COMPLAINTS ARE SIMILAR- FAILED TRANSMISSIONS AND NISSAN REFUSING TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITHOUT BEING PAID $3000+. IT'S SHOCKING THAT A RECALL HASN'T BEEN DONE FOR THESE TRANSMISSIONS. I'VE ALREADY READ DOZENS OF HORROR STORIES ONLINE OVER THIS. I'M SHOCKED THAT THERE HASN'T BEEN A FATALITY. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE ALL THESE CUSTOMERS GET TOGETHER AND FILE A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST NISSAN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ROUGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE RPM GAUGE FLUCTUATED WITHOUT WARNING, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE AND DECELERATE INDEPENDENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TWICE, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 87,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE AIR CONDITIONER BLEW HOT AIR AND THE DRIVER SIDE BLINKER LIGHT FLASHED RAPIDLY AT TIMES. THERE WAS ALSO A BURNING ODOR WHEN DRIVING UPHILL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A FAILURE WITHIN THE FUSE AND/OR RELAY PANEL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

THE CVT TRANSMISSION OIL OVERHEATS AT LONG DRIVING PERIODS AND THE TRANSMISSION / CAR GOES INTO LIMP MODE AND THE SPEED DROPS IMMEDIATELY AND SIGNIFICANTLY AND WILL NOT BE DRIVEABLE UNTIL THE OIL COOLS DOWN. VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THIS ONLY HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAYS AT HIGH SPEEDS. ALSO, AFTER THE VEHICLE ENTERS THIS "LIMP MODE", IF YOU EXIT THE HIGHWAY AND STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, THE VEHICLE WILL THEN NOT ACCELERATE PAST 5 MPH FOR A PERIOD OF 30-45 SECONDS. NISSAN KNOWS THAT THIS HAPPENS AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSION. BUT THEY WILL DO NO WORK ON THE WARRANTY BECAUSE THE ISSUE CANNOT BE DUPLICATED BY THE DEALER WHEN THE CAR IS BROUGHT IN, WHICH WILL ALWAYS BE THE CASE BECAUSE THE ISSUE HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER BEING DRIVEN FOR A WHILE. THIS SUDDEN DECELERATION ALMOST GOT ME KILLED BY A SEMI THAT WAS BEHIND ME WHEN MY CAR WENT INTO THIS LIMP MODE WITHOUT WARNING.

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.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THERE WAS A STRONG VIBRATION. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WAS NOTIFIED, BUT COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD A SERVICE CAMPAIGN, BUT THE CONTACT WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE STATUTE HAD EXPIRED DUE TO THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED NO REPAIR SOLUTION OTHER THAN STATING TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
