2011 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT HEARD A WHINING NOISE AND THE RPM GAUGE DISPLAYED A HIGH READING. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED A BURNING ODOR AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT DID NOT SEE ANY FIRE OR SMOKE, AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS NOT CONTACTED. NO COMPONENTS WERE FOUND TO HAVE MELTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO REED NISSAN (3776 W COLONIAL DR, ORLANDO, FL 32808), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE CONTACT DID HAVE INFORMATION REGARDING THE NECESSARY REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

WE PURCHASED A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE AT THE END OF 2010, AND IT WAS A GOOD CAR IN THE BEGINNING, HOWEVER, I STARTED TO NOTICE SMALL THINGS HERE AND THERE THAT WEREN'T THAT GREAT. BUT THEY WOULD COME AND GO. THEN ONE DAY I OPENED THE LEFT REAR DOOR HANDLE, AND IT BROKE OFF!! IT LOOKED LIKE A CHEAP PIECE OF PLASTIC YOU SEE AT THE DOLLAR STORE. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN AND THEY WANTED $550!!! RIDICULOUS! I FOUND A GOOD HONEST MECHANIC PLACE AND THEY EVEN REDUCED THE COST SINCE IT ONLY TOOK THEM 15 MINS TO REPLACE IT! ONLY COSTED ME $80! SO NOW AND AGAIN IT HAS ALSO BEEN LOSING RPMS AND HAVING DIFFICULTY SPEEDING UP. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING FROM WORK AND ON THE FREEWAY, AND THE RPMS STOPPED AT 4000 AND FROZE. I WOULDN'T GO OVER 60MPH! HE WAS SCARED AND PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HE CHECKED THE OIL (IT WAS PERFECT), THE INSIDE AND SAW NOTHING. HE SAID HE SMELT A FIRE TYPE SMELL WHILE IN THE INSIDE OF THE CAR, BUT NO FIRES. HE SLOWLY GOT OVER AND PULLED OFF OF THE FREEWAY AND INTO A CAR PLACE TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. I CALLED NISSAN AS THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE NISAN ROGUE. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY STATED THAT IT WAS THE 2010 ROGUE. MINE IS THE 2011 ROGUE WHICH WAS PURCHASED AT THE END OF 2010. SO I AM SUPPOSE TO BELIEVE THAT THEY SOMEHOW PUT A BETTER CVT TRANSMISSION IN MY ROGUE WHICH IS NOT THAT FAR OFF FROM THE 2010 THAT HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND RECALL ON IT?? HARDLY, I HAVE SEEN MANY MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE ABOUT THIS VEHICLE AND EXACT YEAR. I'VE EVEN CALLED ABOUT OUR ROGUE A FEW TIMES WHEN I'VE HEARD ABOUT RECALLS, BUT THEY'VE ALWAYS TOLD ME IT'S ONLY 2010 AND MY CAR SHOULD BE FINE. OBVIOUSLY IT'S NOT FINE, AND THE CAR IS CRAP. NISSAN SHOULD STAND BY THEIR PRODUCTS , AND THEY ARE NOT . THEY WILL CONTINUE TO LOSE GOOD CUSTOMERS THAT ARE HARD WORKING AMERICANS WHO PAY THEIR BILLS.

I DRIVE TO SAN ANTONIO FROM EL PASO AND BACK IT HAPPENED BOTH WAYS. WE WERE GOING UP AN INCLINE AND I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE, I GOT NOT RESPONSE FROM THE GAS PEDAL. NOTHING AT ALL, BESIDES A SLIGHT ACCELERATION UNTIL WE PULLED OFF THE ROAD. I COULD PUSH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR WITH LITTLE TO NO RESPONSE, AND MOSTLY NO RESPONSE. I TURN THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES, STARTED IT UP, AND WE WERE SOMEWHAT BACK TO NORMAL. IT ACCELERATED, BUT DIDN'T HAVE POWER BEHIND IT. IT TOOK MUCH MORE TO GET TO 80MPH, OR EVEN 60 MPH THEN A FEW MILES MORE IT STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN AND IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE I HAD TRAILERS AND CARS THAT HAD TO GO AROUND ME RIGHT AWAY LUCKY FOR ALL OF US THERE WAS NOT MUCH TRAFFIC SO THEY WERE ABLE TO CHANGE LANE FAST IF NOT THEY WOULD HAVE CRASHED INTO ME COUSIN A BIG OR EVEN FATAL ACCIDENT.

VEHICLE LOSES POWER GOING UP A MOUNTAIN AT A 40 DEGREE ANGLE FOR MORE THAN 5 MILES. VEHICLE STALLS LOSES POWER AND STALLS TO A CONPLETE STOP. WHEN DRIVEN ON A FLAT EVEN SURFACE VEHICLE HAS A VERY SLUGGISH AND JERKING MOVEMENT THAT MAKES THE VEHICLE LOSE POWER AND DECELERATES. VEHICLE HAS LOSS OF POWER WHEN REVERSING AND MAKES A VERY LOUD NOISE DOING SO.

MY CAR HAS 86K MILES ON IT. I WAS DRIVING ON I-95. THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 75 MPH, I WAS DRIVING 75 MPH. SUDDENLY, THE RPM'S STARTED GOING OUT OF CONTROL. THEN I LOST PICK UP. I MANAGED TO DRIVE THE CAR TO THE NEAREST EXIT. I THEN HAD TO CROSS OVER A BUSY 4 LANE STATE ROAD IN ORDER TO GET TO A SAFE PARKING PLACE. THE CAR DIED AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO CROSS OVER THE 4 LANES. A WONDERFUL POLICE OFFICER FINALLY PUSHED MY CAR TO SAFETY. HE GUESSED MY TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED. HE SAID IT HAPPENS ALL OF THE TIME IN MY TYPE OF CAR. HE SAID THE CRV TRANSMISSIONS WERE NO GOOD. THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED. SHEEHY NISSAN IN MECHANICSVILLE, VA, THE CLOSEST DEALER, SAID THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE TRANSMISSION AND THE COST OF A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS $4,600. I HAD TO GET AN AUTO BODY SHOP TO INSTALL A TRANSMISSION FROM A NEW CAR THAT HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT , FOR $2660, AS I COULD NOT AFFORD $4,600. THIS TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED AT 86K MILES. I AM ENCLOSING TWO BILLS; ONE FROM THE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTIC FEES AND ONE FROM THE AUTOBODY SHOP THAT DID THE WORK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE LOST POWER COMPLETELY AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

A COUPLE OF TIMES WHILE DRIVING THE CAR STOP SUDDENLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND THE ENGINE SLOWLY DIED. THIS IS QUITE WORRYING BECAUSE I AM NOT SURE HOW I WOULD COPE ON A BUSY INTERSTATE ROAD.

TAKATA RECALL WAS DRIVING AND THE RPM'S WENT WAY UP AND THEN CAME BACK DOWN THEN THE CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 20 MPG NO MATTER HOW MUCH GAS WAS GIVEN. WAS DRIVING ON A NORMAL ROAD STRAIGHT NOT TURNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE IDLING AT A STOP, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO PARK AND RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO REFUSED TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE WHEN THE CONTACT REQUESTED A WORK ORDER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REMEDIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,785.

MY 2011 NISSAN ROGUE HAS EXPERIENCED ACCELERATION PROBLEMS AFTER DRIVING IT ON THE HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT 70 MILES. IF I HAVE TO BRAKE ON THE HIGHWAY, THEN IT TAKES MY CAR A LONG TIME TO ACCELERATE BACK UP(RPM'S ARE HIGH) AND SOMETIMES CANNOT GO ABOVE 50 MPH AS CARS ARE WHIZZING BY ME. ONCE THIS ISSUE STARTS, IT CONTINUES, EVEN IF I AM AT A LOWER SPEED OR FROM A STOPPING POSITION. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS! I HAVE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND SAID THAT NISSAN IS ADDING A COOLER KIT TO THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THEY THINK THE PROBLEM IS FROM THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING. THEY WANT ANYWHERE FROM $800-1,200 TO INSTALL THE COOLING KIT. WHY SHOULD THE CONSUMER HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS IF NISSAN IS HAVING TO ADD A KIT TO COOL DOWN THE TRANSMISSION? OBVIOUSLY, IT'S A DEFAULT IN THE TRANSMISSION AND HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY ON LOTS OF VEHICLES. ACCORDING TO A WEBSITE, NISSAN HAS AN EXTENDED CVT WARRANTY FOR 2003-2010 NISSAN ROGUES, BUT NOTHING AFTER THAT EVEN THOUGH NEWER CARS (2014) ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. DO PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE FIRST BEFORE THEY DO A RECALL? IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND HARD TO RECREATE AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO GET THE TRANSMISSION WARM AND THAT USUALLY TAKES A LONGER DISTANCE TO DRIVE. ALSO, THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS THAT COME ON TO INDICATE A PROBLEM SO THIS MALFUNCTION JUST CATCHES YOU BY SURPRISE! I HOPE NHTSA GETS INVOLVED AND TELLS NISSAN TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ON THEIR DIME, NOT OURS. I WILL NEVER BUY A NISSAN AGAIN AND WILL BE SURE TO WARN MY FRIENDS OF THIS DEADLY SITUATION.
