VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY LOSE POWER, ESPECIALLY ON INCLINES OR IN HOT WEATHER. WHILE TRAVELING UP MOUNTAIN ROAD, VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND I WAS NEARLY REAR-ENDED AS OTHER VEHICLES COMING UP THE ROAD ROUNDED THE CORNER AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED. WHILE LEAVING THE PALM SPRINGS AREA, VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING IN HEAT EXCEEDING 95 DEGREES. AFTER EXITING FREEWAY, VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND CARS EXITING THE FREEWAY AT HIGHER RATES OF SPEED HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID MY VEHICLE. NISSAN HAS REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION ON THREE OCCASIONS AND EACH TIME THE PROBLEM HAS RECURRED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ROUGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO TURN ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY CONNECTOR FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000.

TWO MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THIS CAR AT CORAL SPRINGS NISSAN, FL. I WAS DRIVING TO MIAMI WHEN THE CAR LOOSE POWER FROM 70 MPH WENT TO 40 MPH THE CAR COULD NOT ACCELERATE ANYMORE IT WAS VERY SCARY. THIS PROBLEM ONLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU DRIVE FOR MORE THAN 1 HOUR. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY ONLY DID A TEST DRIVE FOR MAYBE 30 MINUTES. ONE YEAR AFTER THE INITIAL PROBLEM THE CAR LOOSE POWER QUITE OFTEN I ONLY NEED TO DRIVE LESS THAN 30 MINUTES, AND THE CAR CANNOT ACCELERATE IS LIKE IT GOES TO NEUTRAL WHEN I AM AT THE STOP SIGN, MAKING AN U-TURN, A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN. I AM AFRAID TO HAVE A CAR ACCIDENT. I AM VERY SURPRISE AFTER READING OTHERS COMPLAINTS THAT NISSAN HAS NOT TAKE ANY ACTION TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THERE IS CLEARLY AN ACCELERATION PROBLEM WITH THE 2010 NISSAN ROGUE; OVER 900,000 PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED AND A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED. IT SEEMS THAT THE CAR HAS PROBLEMS ACCELERATING AFTER IT WAS STOPPED. IT TYPICALLY DID THIS IF YOU WERE EITHER STOPPED ON A HILL OR IF YOU STOPPED AFTER DRIVING HIGH SPEEDS ON THE INTERSTATE. AFTER SEVERAL INCIDENTS OVER THE COURSE OF 3 MONTHS (I PURCHASED VEHICLE AUGUST 2014), THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT IS NOW ON. I HAVE JUST A LITTLE OVER 38,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE LOSS OF ACCELERATION IS DANGEROUS FOR BOTH EXITING THE INTERSTATE AND TURNING RIGHT ON RED. *TR

AIR BAGS DEPLOYED LATE IN COLLISION CAUSING HEAD OF DRIVER AFTER HITTING STEERING WHEEL TO BE THROWN BACK CAUSING INJURY TO DRIVER. *TR

DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE VEHICLE WOULD REFUSE TO ACCELERATE TO PASS A VEHICLE. HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES ON A 1 HOUR ROAD TRIP, CAUSING NEAR FATALITY AS CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE UP A HILL AND WHEN IN THE COURSE OF PASSING A DISABLEDVEHICLE, THE CAR WOULD NOT SPEED UP ENOUGH TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC SPEED IN ADJACENT LANE, CAUSING DRIVER BEHIND VEHICLE TO SLAM ON BRAKES TO AVOID COLLISION. THE VEHICLE REFUSED TO ACCELERATE THE REMAINDER OF THE TRIP (1 HOUR MORE) AND ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT REGISTER ANY CHANGE IN THE AMOUNT OF FUEL FOR THE FIRST 110 MILES THEN REGISTERS A DROP BY ONE BAR AND THEN AFTER A FEW MILES RETURNS TO FULL. THE FUEL GAUGE THEN REMAINS FULL UNTIL ABOUT 180 MILES WHEN IT FINALLY REGISTERS ANY LOSS, BUT NOT ACCURATELY. *TR

DRIVING AT INTERSTATE HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD IMMEDIATELY LOOSE POWER. SPEED WOULD DROP FROM 70 MPH TO 45-50 MPH VERY QUICKLY. IT SEEMED LIKE WITHIN 100-200 YARDS. THIS OCCURRED ON FLAT GROUND AFTER DRIVING SEVERAL HOURS OR SOONER WHEN GOING THROUGH HILLY TERRAIN, SUCH AS THE APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS. ONCE THE EVENT OCCURRED, IT WOULD REOCCUR. FOR EXAMPLE IT WOULD SLOW QUICKLY GOING UP A HILL, THEN GOING DOWN THE HILL YOU COULD GET BACK UP TO SPEED. ONCE YOU STARTED UP THE NEXT HILL, YOU WOULD LOOSE SPEED VERY QUICKLY AGAIN. ON FLAT GROUND AFTER THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, ANYTIME YOU ACCELERATED - SUCH AS DURING PASSING, IT WOULD LOOSE SPEED. TO TEMPORARILY "RESET" THE CAR, WE WOULD STOP FOR 10-15 MIN. THIS WOULD ALLOW THE CAR TO BE DRIVEN FOR ABOUT 1 HOUR BEFORE IT WOULD REOCCUR. TWO THINGS HAPPEN AS A RESULT OF THIS, ONE WHEN WE WERE PASSING A TRUCK WHO WAS SLOWED BY A HILL, WE PARTIALLY GOT AROUND THE TRUCK, THEN IMMEDIATELY LOST SPEED. CARS FOLLOWING US WOULD REALLY NEED TO BE PAYING ATTENTION. ON FLAT GROUND YOU WOULD JUST LOOSE SPEED IMMEDIATELY AND CARS WOULD QUICKLY CATCH UP. SECOND, STOPPING FREQUENTLY CAUSES TRIPS TO TAKE A LOT MORE TIME. CHECKING THE INTERNET RESULTED IN NISSAN'S KNOWLEDGE OF THIS PROBLEM WHICH CAUSED THEM TO INCREASE THE WARRANTY. THEY NEED TO FIX IT. *TR
