TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY FAILED TO ACCELERATE PAST 65 MPH AND THE RPMS WOULD NOT INCREASE PAST 3,000. THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT AND OCCURRED AFTER DRIVING FOR MORE THAN ONE HOUR. THE CONTACT ALSO INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS MORE SEVERE WHILE DRIVING UP AN INCLINE. IN ADDITION, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT RECENTLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CVT (CONTINUOUS VARIABLE TRANSMISSION) NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION WAS FLUSHED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

STRAIGHT OUT THE LOT 13 MILES ON IT WHEN I PURCHASED IT. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED MY 2010 ROUGE, IT STARTED TO MAKE NOISES WHEN I WOULD GO OVER A DIP OR A SMALL BUMP ON THE ROAD (30,000 MILES OR SO). THE NOISE SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE. I TOOK IT IN 2-3 TIMES TO NISSAN THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IT ALSO STARTED MAKING A VIBRATING NOISE WHEN I WOULD BE IDLING AT A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE VIBRATING SOUND I WAS TOLD WAS DUE TO THE THROTTLE BEING DIRTY. I HAD THAT CLEANED AND A FEW MONTHS LATER IT STATED DOING AGAIN. MY ROUGE NOW HAS OVER 100,000 MILES ON IT AND IT IT STARTED LOOSING POWER AND IT IS NOT ACCELERATING ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS ON MY WAY TO DALLAS AND MY ROUGE WOULDN'T SPEED UP, I WAS DRIVING LIKE 78 MPH AND THEN DECELERATES TO 55 MPH, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THAT IT HAS HAPPENED, PRETTY SCARY STUFF. I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE NEXT EXIT AND CHECK OUT MY CAR. ONCE I TRIED TO GET ON THE ROAD AGAIN MY CAR REFUSED TO MOVE IT WAS ACTING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO TURN OFF, SORT OFF LIKE WHEN YOU MAKE AN ABRUPT STOP AND IT JERKS. IT TOOK OF VERY SLOWLY AND THEN AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT WAS BACK TO NORMAL.

THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, CAR WILL LOSE POWER. WE PRESS THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND CAR DECELERATES; THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO POWER. THE LAST INCIDENT OCCURRED AUGUST 8. WE WERE DRIVING AT ABOUT 80MPH; WE STARTED UP A HILL AND THE CAR COMPLETELY LOST POWER; SPEED WENT DOWN TO ABOUT 40 MPH. FINALLY REGAINED SPEED ON FLAT STRETCH OF ROAD BUT EVERY TIME WE HIT A SLIGHT INCLINE WE WOULD LOSE POWER. PART OF THE TIME WE WERE ON A TWO LANE HI-WAY AND CARS WERE BACKING UP BEHIND US. THEN, AFTER GOING ALONG WITH NO PROBLEMS FOR A PERIOD OF TIME WE PULLED OF AT AN EXIT. AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN WHEN WE TRIED TO MOVE GAS PEDAL WENT TO THE GROUND AND CAR DID NOT MOVE-THEN IT LURCHED SUDDENLY AND ACCELERATED. LATER IN THE DRIVE-ON A FLAT GROUND GOING 80 MPH CAR LURCHED AND DECELERATED --AS I SAID, THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE; THIS LAST INCIDENT WAS MOST FRUSTRATING AS WE WERE ON A LONG ROAD TRIP AND FEELING VERY UNSAFE.

THE VEHICLE REPEATEDLY LOST SPEED, DECELERATING WHEN GOING UPHILL. IT WENT FROM 70MPH TO LESS THAN 20MPH. PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN PROVIDED NO RESPONSE FROM THE VEHICLE. NISSAN IS REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR MODEL. A FEW INDIVIDUAL POSTED VIDEO OF THEIR PROBLEM AS YOU CAN SEE BELOW HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=AQOXNG8OFKM HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=GG_ZF1EO0PW

2ND COMPLAINT OF REPEATED ISSUE, SUBSEQUENT OCCURRENCE. 2010 NISSAN ROGUE LOST POWER AND DECELERATED FROM 70 MPH TO APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY, HAZARDS APPLIED HOWEVER VEHICLES APPROACHING HAD TO CHANGE LANES. ON THIS OCCURRENCE A VEHICLE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED. PULLED OFF ROAD AND WHEN ACCELERATOR WAS DEPRESSED ENGINE REVVED TO APPROXIMATELY 2500 RPM WITH NO FORWARD MOTION THEN LURCHED FORWARD RAPIDLY ACCELERATING THEN LOST POWER AGAIN BEFORE RETURNING TO NORMAL OPERATION. NOTE THAT NISSAN DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, INSTRUCTED THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION WARRANTY HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO 120K MILES AND TO BRING TO DEALERSHIP. NISSAN STATES THIS IS THE RESULT OF TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING AND CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ENTER SAFETY (ALSO KNOWN AS LIMP) MODE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, UP BRIDGES AND HILLS. THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE. STAYS AT 2RPM EVEN WHILE PEDAL IS PRESSED ALL THE WAY. VEHICLE CANT PASS 70 MPH ON LONG DRIVES AND RPM STAYS AT 2RPM. THE CAR STARTS SLOWING DOWN TO ALMOST 50 MPH FOR LONGER PERIODS OF TIME. THEN WHEN OFF THE HIGHWAY TO SEE THE ISSUE THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY. TURNING OFF THE CAR AND LET IT REST FOR 10 MIN IS THE ONLY SOLUTION. BUT 30 MIN BACK IN THE ROAD SAME PROBLEM OCCURS. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND NOT SAFE. I READ MANY FORUMS AND ALSO THE NISSAN TITANS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I NEED SERIOUS HELP. STOPPED AT AUTO ZONE TO READ THE CHECK ENGINE AND THE TRANSMISSION AND SPEED CONTROL CODES CAME UP. THE 1ST TIME IN 4 YEARS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. SO OBVIOUSLY IT'S GETTING WORSE.

BOTH LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON SHOWING THE AIR BAG WOULD NOT WORK IF THE ROGUE WAS INVOLVED IN A ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE ROGUE TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE CENSOR'S IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WERE NOT WORKING AND WOULD NOT DEPLOY. THE DEALERSHIP CLEARED THE CODES AND RETESTED AND THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH WENT OUT. THREE DAYS LATER THEY CAME BACK ON. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISE THAT THE CENSOR'S WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. I THEN TOOK THE ROGUE TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. I ADVISED THEM OF WHAT WAS DONE AT THE PREVIOUS DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT WAS THE PROPER PROCEDURE. I WAS ALSO ASK WHO RODE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND WHAT THEIR WEIGHT WAS. I ADVISED THEM MY WIFE RODE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT 99% OF THE TIME AND 126 LBS. WAS HER WEIGHT. I WAS THEN TOLD HER WEIGHT COULD BE PART OF THE PROBLEM? I NEEDED TO GET THE SYSTEM FIXED BECAUSE IT WAS A SAFETY PROBLEM???
