2009 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

TRANSMISSION FROZE, NO FORWARD GEAR, NO REVERSE GEAR. LUCKILY IT HAPPENED WHEN PULLING INTO THE COALFIELD REST STOP NORTHBOUND ON I-55. AS I SLOWED TO PULL OFF ON THE EXIT RAMP, THE ROGUE JERKED TWICE AND CAME TO SUDDEN STOP. WITH THE TRANSMISSION LOCKING UP IT MAY HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF I WERE TO BE ON THE INTERSTATE (I-55 NORTHBOUND) AT APPROXIMATELY 6:30PM ON MAY 14, 2015. TRAFFIC AT THE TIME WAS AVERAGE BUT STEADY IN FLOW.

WIFE TURNING LEFT AT STOP LIGHT. STEPPED ON GAS PEDAL AND VERY LITTLE ACCELERATION, ALMOST T-BONED. IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY, AND WITH NO WARNING. I WAS DRIVING TO THE DEALER AND IT HAPPENED TO ME. STOPPED FOR A RED LIGHT AND THEN THE PROBLEM WAS GONE. THE DEALER SAID THE BREAK SWITCH WAS THE PROBLEM. I DECLINED REPAIRS BECAUSE EVERY TIME I TAKE THE ROGUE TO CHECK AND REPAIRS SOMETHING ELSE NEED FIXING. I WILL TAKE FOR REPAIRS TO A AAA REPAIR SHOP NEAR MY HOME. WONDERING IF OTHER NISSAN ROGUE OWNER HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. THE SCARY THING IS THAT THERE IS NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH AND NO WARNING AT ALL. THANKS YOU.

MY TRANSMISSION GOT STUCK IN 1ST GEAR WHEN PULLING OUT ONTO A BUSY ROAD, CAUSING ME TO HAVE PULL OVER AND ALMOST GETTING HIT BY OTHER VEHICLES, WHEN I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND THEN A LICENSED NISSAN DEALERSHIP I WAS INFORMED IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND FURTHERMORE INFORMED THAT ON THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS NISSAN WEBSITE IT STATES THEY HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRANSMISSION AND DOUBLED THE WARRANTY FROM 60,000 MILES TO 120,000 MILES DUE TO THIS DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION, ON NOT JUST MY MODEL AND YEAR BUT OVER 8 YEARS AND 3 DIFFERENT MODELS OF NISSANS HOWEVER BECAUSE I WAS 5000 MILES OVER THE WARRANTY THEY WOULD NOT HELP ME PAY FOR THE $3586 I HAD TO PAY TO MAKE THE VEHICLE DRIVEABLE AND SECONDLY WHAT IF THIS TRANSMISSION WOULD HAVE GOTTEN STUCK OR WENT OUT ON A HWY WHERE I WAS DOING 65 MPH NISSAN SHOULD ALSO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST FOR GETTING THIS DEFECTIVE PRODUCT FIXED I CALL THEM SEVERAL TIMES AT CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY WILL NOT ASSIST ME AT ALL BECAUSE I AM 5000 MILES OVER THE WARRANTY THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO KNOW HOW TERRIBLE OF A COMPANY THIS IS AND HOW DANGEROUS THIS COULD BE FOR OTHERS WHO OWN THESE VEHICLES.

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATES "OFF" EVEN WHEN AN ADULT IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CONSTANTLY FLASHING IN DASH. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ONE IN THIS MODEL YEAR VEHICLE AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED UNDER SAFETY RECALL THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP. IT WOULD BE A VERY SAD DAY WHEN SOMEONE HAS AN ACCIDENT / CRASH AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DOES NOT DEPLOY, POTENTIALLY CAUSING INJURY OR EVEN DEATH! *TR

THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN ACCELERATING. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME AND SINCE THEN IT HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS NOT BEEN ON AT ALL IT RANDOMLY OCCURS. IT SEEMS THAT IT WOULD BE AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS SITUATION FOR A VEHICLE TO HESITATE IN REGARDS TO ACCELERATION. IT IS ANYWHERE FROM A 2-10 SECOND DELAY. I HAVE JUST LEARNED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG MANY OWNERS OF THE NISSAN ROGUE AND IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR WORSE DEAD. I AM SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE BUT WHEN I AM MAKING A LEFT TURN INTO TRAFFIC AND I'M MET WITH VEHICLES COMING TOWARDS ME AS MY VEHICLE HESITATES TO ACCELERATE I WOULD DEFINITELY CONSIDER THIS A LIFE THREATENING ISSUE FOR BOTH ME AND MY FAMILY. *TR

MY 2009 NISSAN ROGUE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. OUT OF NOWHERE MY PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED TO FLASH, I BROUGHT IT IN TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO SAID THAT IT WAS THE AIRBAG SENSOR UNDERNEATH THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THAT HE WAS UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AS IT TAKES CERTAIN PROGRAMMING TO MAKE THE AIRBAGS WORK APPROPRIATELY. I THEN BROUGHT MY CAR IN TO A NISSAN DEALER WHERE THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE $200 TO HOOK THEIR MACHINE US TO READ THE CODE TO EVEN BEGIN THE DIAGNOSTIC PROCESS I'VE BEEN TOLD THEM THAT THIS IS REPORTED ON LINE TIME AFTER TIME AGAIN SPECIFICALLY ON THE 2008 AND 2009 MODELS AND I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM TO HOOK UP A MACHINE TO READ THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE IN WHICH I HAD IN MY HAND. AFTER DOING MORE RESEARCH ONLINE I HAVE HAD NUMBERS BETWEEN $300 AND $2,000 BE QUOTED FOR THIS PART TO FIX THE ISSUE AND ACCORDING TO MOST OF THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE SAID THEY PAID TO HAVE IT FIXED AT SOME POINT THEY CAME BACK AND REISSUED NEW COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME FORM THAT IT DOES HAPPEN OVER AND OVER AGAIN. HOW IS NISSAN NOT FIXING AN ISSUE THAT MAKES THEIR AIRBAGS DISFUNCTIONAL AND NOT DEPLOY? I GUESS IT TAKES SOME DEATH AND A LAWSUIT BEFORE IT WILL GET DONE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, AN ABNORMAL NOISE EMITTED FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE AND THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT SEIZED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V032000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIRE TO THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,600.

THE RIGHT DOOR HANDLE SUDDENLY BECAME UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED DOES NOT APPLY TO THIS SITUATION. THE HANDLE ON THE PASSENGER DOOR FREEZES OR IT SPRUNG, INSIDE THE HANDLE ITSELF. WE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FIXED 3 TIMES NOW SINCE 2013, IF YOU CHECK THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF 2009/2010 NISSAN ROGUES THAT HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE WHY? WE WERE TOLD BY A PERSON AT ONE OF THE NISSAN DEALERSHIPS THAT THERE APPEARS TO BE WEAKNESS IN THE HANDLES MECHANISM. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS SHOULD THERE BE A FIRE, ACCIDENT ETC, AND SOMEONE NEEDED TO GET A PERSON OUT OF THAT SIDE OF THE CAR. AS IT IS NOW YOU CAN NOT OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE! MY HUSBAND HAS HAD IT FIXED 3 TIMES AND WE FEEL THIS HAS GOT TO BE A RECALL ISSUE DUE TO THE RECURRENCE OF THE HANDLE BREAKING OVER AND OVER. NOT TO MENTION SO MANY OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IT IS MY CONTENTION THAT IT SHOULD BE FIXED BY NISSAN AND NOT PAID FOR BY US THIS TIME. YOUR SPEED IN HANDLING THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *TR
