2012 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

WHEN DRIVING FOR SO LONG AS IN LONG DISTANCE THE VEHICLE WON'T ACCELERATE. SPEED LIMIT COULD BE 75 MPH AND AFTER ON THE HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT A HOUR CAR SPEED WILL DROP AND WON'T ACCELERATE PASS 60 MPH. GAS PEDAL COULD BE ALL THE WAY DOWN AND STILL WON'T ACCELERATE.

DRIVING ON A HOT DAY, 104, CAR LOST ACCELERATION. DID NOT OVERHEAT. WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 60 MPH. PARKED CAR OVERNIGHT AND THE NEXT DAY IT RAN FINE. HAD TRANSMISSION FLUID CHECKED AND MECHANIC DROPPED PAN BUT SO NO SIGNS OF MECHANICAL FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION. MY OPINION - FUEL VAPORIZATION?

I WAS TRAVELING 70 MPH ON A HIGHWAY, USING CRUISE, WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED RACING AND THE RPM SURGED. I DISENGAGED THE CRUISE AND THE RPM'S IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO NORMAL. HOWEVER, AS SOON AS I STEPPED ON THE GAS, THE RPM'S AGAIN SURGED. AFTER THIS HAPPENED THREE OR FOUR TIMES, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT EXCEED 60 MPH. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY WITHIN A SHORT DISTANCE. THERE WAS A TRAFFIC LIGHT AT THE END OF THE EXIT, WHICH WAS RED AND I STOPPED. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, MY CAR WOULD NOT INITIALLY ACCELERATE OR MOVE. AFTER A SHORT TIME, THE CAR DID THEN START ACCELERATING AND I WAS ABLE TO ONCE AGAIN DRIVE. I THEN STOPPED AT THE NEAREST PARKING LOT. MY TRAVELING COMPANION PROCEEDED TO FIND AN AUTO SHOP THAT WAS OPEN, AS IT WAS ABOUT 7:00 AT NIGHT. THEY RAN A SCAN AND DETERMINED THERE WAS A FAILURE WITH MY TRANSMISSION. I WAS OVER 50 MILES AWAY FROM HOME, ON MY WAY TO A VACATION RESERVATION. UNFORTUNATELY, I HAD TO RETURN HOME. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR ON BACK ROADS, TRAVELING ABOUT 35-40 MPH. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE HAD A TRANSMISSION SHOP AND THE NISSAN DEALER ALSO CONFIRM THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED REPLACED. THE CAR HAD A LITTLE OVER 70,000 MILES. I FIND THIS ENTIRELY UNACCEPTABLE FOR A 2012 WITH THAT NUMBER OF MILES. SUBSEQUENT RESEARCH HAS SHOW THAT NISSAN HAS A HISTORY OF PROBLEMS WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I ALSO FOUND MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS ON AN ARRAY OF WEBSITES ABOUT MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE HAVING TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT A VARIETY OF MILES. I ALSO FOUND REPORTS OF THE TRANSMISSION FAILING WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED. I DID CONTACT NISSAN'S REGIONAL CONSUMER AFFAIRS. AFTER JUMPING THROUGH THEIR HOOPS, I WAS DECLINED ANY "GOOD WILL ASSISTANCE". THIS WAS DUE TO THE CAR'S MILEAGE BEING OVER WARRANTY AND NO PREVIOUSLY DOCUMENTED ISSUES WITH MY PERSONAL VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION.

CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURE. AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE PARKWAY HIS CAR WILL JUST SLOW DOWN TO A CRAWL CAUSING A DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITION. THE CAR WILL BARELY MOVE AND MANY OTHER VEHICLES HAVE COME VERY CLOSE TO HITTING ME DUE TO THE SLOW SPEED THAT THE CAR WILL GO. COMPLAINED TO NISSAN BUT SINCE CAR IS 11 MONTHS PAST WARRANTY WAS TOLD THEY WILL NOT HELP EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 25 MPH. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE AND THE TRANSMISSION SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. SERRA NISSAN IN BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 113,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

MANY TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, USUALLY GOING UPHILL, I HAVE TROUBLES WITH THE VEHICLE'S ACCELERATION. THE CAR STARTS TO MAKE A FUNNY SOUND, AS IF IT'S TRYING TO ACCELERATE, BUT IS UNABLE TO. I'VE HAD TO PULL OVER BECAUSE THE CAR WILL SLOW DOWN AND WILL NOT GO PAST LIKE 40 MILES PER HOUR, EVEN IF I'M STEPPING ON THE GAS. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE I'M TYPICALLY NOT IN THE SLOW LANE, SO I START TO IMPEDE TRAFFIC WHEN THIS HAPPENS, AND CARS GET REALLY CLOSE TO HITTING ME.

I WAS DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, TRAVELING THE SPEED LIMIT (65 MPH) WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN DECELERATING. THE VEHICLE'S SPEED DECREASED FROM 65 MPH TO 0 MPH IN LESS THAN TWO MINUTES. I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AND THE RPM INDICATOR ADVANCED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE SPEED DECREASED. WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR PREVIOUS PROBLEM, THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY DIED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE DURING RUSH HOUR. I WAS IN THE CENTER DRIVING LANE AND WAS TRAVELING WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE TRAFFIC ONTO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE, WHERE I WAS STRANDED FOR 2.5 HOURS. SINCE MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN DISABLED, I HAVE CONDUCTED RESEARCH ON OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS THAT HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES WITH NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSIONS. MOREOVER, NISSAN HAS HAD SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION FOR OVER A DECADE. DESPITE GOVERNMENTAL OVERSIGHT AND THE COMPANY HAVING TO CORRECT DEFECTS, NISSAN CONTINUES TO MANUFACTURE THESE DANGEROUS VEHICLES. LIFE AND SAFETY SHOULD BE A PRIORITY FOR INNOCENT BUYERS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC. MY LOCAL NISSAN LEADERSHIP HAS DIAGNOSED AND CONFIRMED MY VEHICLE'S PROBLEM AND CONCLUDED THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION MUST BE REPLACED. ASIDE FROM HAVING A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION, MY VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.

VEHICLE IN THE SHOP FOR A MAJOR OIL LEAK, 2 KEY FOBS DON'T WORK, RECALL, LEAKING SUNROOF, AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHING. QUOTED 3500 TO REPLACE SEAT/MODULE, 350. FOR OIL ISSUE, 1400. SUNROOF. I INHERITED THIS CAR IN 2013 WHEN MY MOTHER PASSED AWAY AND IT ONLY HAS 20000 MILES ON IT. I COULD BUY ANOTHER NEWER USED CAR AT THIS RATE!! THIS IS REDICULOUS FOR A VEHICLE WITH SO LOW MILES TO HAVE THIS MANY ISSUES. AT THIS RATE I WILL NEVER PURCHASE OR RECOMMEND NISSAN AGAIN. PLEASE ADVISE. THANKS, DEB
