2012 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

THE HEAT SHIELD WAS LOOSE AND MAKING NOISE AFTER I BOUGHT THE TRUCK ON 0818/2015 AND I TOOK IT TO NISSAN AND HAD IT FIXED ON 07/12/16, I JUST HAD TO TAKE IT BACK ON 06/13/17 AND HAD THE SAME THING FIXED BUT THIS TIME I HAD TO PAY OUT OF MY POCKET, NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS AT ALL, I THINK THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH HEAT SHIELDS ON THIS VEHICLE .

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN RESIDENTIAL GARAGE WITH FLAT TIRE. SCISSORS TYPE JACK HAD NEVER BEEN USED. WHEN I USED THE JACK ON FLAT, STABLE SURFACE AT HARD POINT ON VEHICLE PER OWNER'S MANUAL IT BENT MOMENTS AFTER TAKING WEIGHT. I STEPPED BACK FROM VEHICLE FOR MY OWN SAFETY, JACK BUCKLED, AND CAR FELL. LUCKILY I WAS NOT INJURED AND WHEEL WITH FLAT TIRE WAS STILL ON HUB SO VEHICLE WAS NOT DAMAGED. HOWEVER, WHEN I CONTACTED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE (CASE #26836371) THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THE JACK AS THE CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND HAD NO PROCESS TO ESCALATE THIS SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD BE AFFECTING OTHER OWNERS. A JACK THAT FAILS IMMEDIATELY UPON FIRST USE HAS TO BE DUE TO A DESIGN, MANUFACTURING, OR METALLURGICAL FLAW. ATTACHED PHOTOS SHOW TWISTED JACK AND BENT SCREW ASSEMBLY.

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WILL START SHUDDERING AND RPM'S WILL INCREASE BY 2000-3000 RPMS EVEN IF THERE IS NO ASSISTANCE WITH ACCELERATION (FOOT IS OFF GAS PEDAL). WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE CAR WILL THEN NO LONGER ACCELERATE, AND WILL START SLOWING DOWN, REGARDLESS IF YOU AT PRESSING THE GAS OR NOT. YOU BASICALLY LOSE ALL CONTROL OVER THE OPERATING SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 10 TIMES WITHIN THE PAST 3 MONTHS, ALL WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT POSTED SPEEDS, APPROX. 65 MPH FOR ANYWHERE BETWEEN 5 MIN TO AN HOUR + OF CONSTANT RATE OF SPEED.

IN THE LAST 30 DAYS I HAVE MADE THE EXACT SAME 5 HOUR ROUND TRIP DRIVE THREE TIMES. ON TWO OF THESE TRIPS, I EXPERIENCED SUDDEN LOSS OF ACCELERATION AFTER APPROXIMATELY 3-1/2 HOURS OF DRIVING (BOTH INSTANCES STARTED WITHIN 5 MILES OF THE OTHER). THOUGH BOTH OCCURRED WITHOUT ANY SIGN OF A MECHANICAL PROBLEM AND CONTINUED UNTIL CAR HAD BEEN STOPPED AND SHUT OFF FOR 30 MINUTES OR MORE, TODAY'S EVENT NEARLY CAUSED LOSS OF LIFE! WHEN TRYING TO MERGE ONTO I-95 FROM I-295 IN JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC I SUDDENLY COULD NOT ONLY ACCELERATE TO GET ON 95 AND MOVE OVER 2 LANES TO CLEAR THE EXIT ONLY AIRPORT LANE BUT CONTINUED TO SLOW DOWN IN MASSIVE HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC! DURING THIS TIME THE GAS PEDAL WAS FULLY DEPRESSED WITHOUT RESULT OTHER THAN RPM CHANGE TO ALMOST 3. NO CODES WERE DETECTED EITHER TIME. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW, HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND REGULARLY SERVICED. IT HAS 75,214 MILES ON IT. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IN THE 3 TRIPS I MADE WAS STOPPING FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES TO EAT BEFORE DRIVING BACK ON TRIP #2 AND HAD NO PROBLEMS AT ALL WITH ACCELERATION.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE IN TOWN, APPROX. 40MPH UP A SLIGHT INCLINE THE TRANSMISSION STOPPED ENGAGING AND RPM'S STARTED TO INCREASE WHILE SPEED DROPPED. VEHICLE HAS 110,000 MILES ON IT. I CAME DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO GETTING INTO SEVERAL ACCIDENTS TRYING TO SAFELY PULL OVER. THERE WAS A TRANSMISSION SHOP NEARBY AND I BARELY MADE IT THERE AND THEY LOOKED INTO THIS ISSUE. THEY SAID MY ONLY OPTION WOULD BE TO HAVE THE CVT REPLACED. THEY SAID I WOULD BE PUTTING MYSELF AND OTHERS AT RISK OF INJURY IF I CONTINUED TO TRY AND DRIVE IT IN THIS CONDITION. THE VEHICLE HAD NO PRIOR ISSUES/WARNING SIGNS PRIOR TO THIS FAILURE. I STRONGLY BELIEVE NISSAN SHOULD REPLACE MY CVT AT THEIR EXPENSE.

CUSTOMER STATES BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR WITH NO BRAKES, AND RAN A RED LIGHT AS A RESULT. UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE FAILURE AT THIS TIME, THOUGH COMPLAINT MATCHES OTHERS REPORTED TO NHTSA. BRAKE SYSTEM LOOKS GOOD IN VISUAL INSPECTION AND ON MULTIPLE TEST DRIVES PERFORMED ACCEPTABLY. FLUID IS FULL AND CLEAN. NO CODES PRESENT FOR ANY PORTION OF THE BRAKE AND VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEMS. NO ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF FAILURE, THOUGH CUSTOMER NO LONGER TRUSTS OR FEELS SAFE IN VEHICLE.

TRANSMISSION WILL STALL AND/OR LOSE ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. WILL NOT INCREASE SPEED, REGARDLESS OF IF THE PEDAL IS TO THE FLOOR OR NOT. IF YOU COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT MOVE OVER 5 MPH UNTIL YOU STOP, TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, SOMETIMES FOR UP TO 30 MIN, AND RESUME DRIVING. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITHIN 30 DAYS, ALWAYS WHILE GOING OVER 60 MPH, AND FREEWAY DRIVING FOR 10 MIN +.

TAKATA RECALL ADULT PASSENGER IS SEATED IN PASSENGERS FRONT SEAT AND HAS SEAT BELT ON. BUT AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS FLASHING ON DASH BOARD AND PASSENGERS AIRBAG OFF LIGHT STAYS ON.

VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT IS ON, IT'S A COMPUTER PROBLEM THAT THE SYSTEM IS TELLING THE CAR TO BREAK EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IN ACCERLARATION, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BREAKS TO SMOKE.

I HAVE HAD MY CAR SINCE 12'. NEVER AN ISSUE, I KEEP UP REGULAR MAINTENANCE. I HIT 80K A MONTH AGO. DRIVING FRIDAY, REGULAR SPEED, APPROX 40PH CAR JUST LOSES POWER IN TRAFFIC. I HAD TO COAST TO EMERGENCY LANE. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, TESTING SINCE FRIDAY CAN'T GIVE ME ANY ANSWERS.
