2010 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED SLOWING DOWN. WHEN I PUSHED DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL, THE RPM'S REVVED INTO THE RED AND THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD WHINING SOUND AND CONTINUED TO SLOW DOWN. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. TRIED TO ACCELERATE BY PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE BARELY COASTED. STOPPED AND TURNED VEHICLE OFF. AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES, I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND IT RAN FINE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE MOVING. IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS THERE HAVE BEEN AT LEAST 8 INSTANCES WHERE WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT OR WAITING TO TURN LEFT, I WOULD PUSH DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR TO GO AND THE CAR WOULD BARELY START TO COAST WITH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. THEN AFTER A FEW SECONDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY ACCELERATE. I'M AFRAID THAT I'M GOING TO BE T-BONED WHILE TURNING BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF WHEN I PRESS DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL IF I'LL GO OR COAST INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. *TR

MY DAUGHTER AND I WERE RETURNING HOME DRIVING ON INTERSTATE HWY WHEN CAR SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY LOSS ACCELERATION IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON INTERSTATE, GOING FROM 75-80 MPH TO 50-60 MPH WITHIN A MINUTE CAUSING BRAKING AND SWERVING OF CARS BEHIND US BECAUSE WE WERE IN LEFT LANE AND COULD NOT GET OVER. SEEMED TO OCCUR ON UPWARD INCLINE OF ROAD. TOOK CAR TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP BECAUSE WARRANTY IS STILL IN EFFECT, AND WAS TOLD THAT THEIR DIAGNOSES SHOWED NO PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME HE KNEW OF SOME PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSIONS, BUT COULD NOT MAKE REPAIRS UNLESS CORPORATE NISSAN REIMBURSED THEM. I WAS BASICALLY TOLD TO DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL IT "BROKE' AND THEN THEY COULD FIX IT. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE CAR ON INTERSTATE NOW- FEAR DEADLY CRASH. *TR

IS NISSAN THE NEXT TOYOTA?? WE WERE PULLING OUT OF A SHOPPING CENTER AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO PROPERLY ACCELERATE. THE GAS PEDAL WAS PUSHED TO THE FLOOR, ACCELERATION WAS AT MINIMUM AND THE RPMS REVVED UP EXTREMELY HIGH. THANK GOODNESS NO ONE HIT US. FINALLY, THE GEAR CAUGHT AND ALL WAS WELL. IT SEEMED LIKE THE TRANSMISSION MAY HAVE SLIPPED. THEN WE GOT TO MY PARENTS' HOME AND PARKED. THEN WE WENT TO MOVE OUT OF PARK AND THE GEARS WOULDN'T CHANGE (AUTOMATIC CVT TRANSMISSION). WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST CERTIFIED NISSAN REPAIR FACILITY. IN THE MEANWHILE, I LOCATED INFORMATION ON NISSAN'S WEBSITE REGARDING THE WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSION AND FOUND THAT NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FROM 5 YEARS/60,000 MILES TO 10 YEARS/120,000 MILES FOR 'CUSTOMER SATISFACTION' PURPOSES AND HERE IS THE INFORMATION ABOUT THAT HTTP://WWW.NISSANASSIST.COM/WEB/CVT/PROGRAMDETAILS.PHP?MENU=9 AND THE VEHICLES THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THE ISSUE ARE LOCATED HERE HTTP://WWW.NISSANASSIST.COM/WEB/CVT/VEHICLES.PHP?MENU=11 SO THE DEALERSHIP CALLS US ON JUNE 23 TO ADVISE THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND THE PROBLEM WITH GETTING THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK WAS AN ELECTRONIC ISSUE. I AM NOT A MECHANIC BUT IT DOES SEEM STRANGE THAT WE WOULD HAVE EXPERIENCED THE FIRST ISSUE, THEN THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T COME OUT OF PARK? I SPOKE WITH REGIONAL SPECIALISTS AT NISSAN NORTH AMERICA AND WAS TOLD THAT IF THE MECHANICS CANNOT REPLICATE, THEN NO REPAIR WILL BE AUTHORIZED UNDER THE WARRANTY AND THAT THE LIKELY CAUSE OF MY ISSUE WAS DIRTY TRANSMISSION FLUID. I FEEL THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF YOU PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC, EXPECTING YOUR VEHICLE TO GO AND IT DOESN'T, SOMEONE IS EVENTUALLY GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED! *TR

I STARTED MY ROGUE AND LEFT A DRIVEWAY AS I APPROACHED A STOP SIGN ABOUT 2 MILES AHEAD THE CAR STALLED. I WAS STILL IN GEAR, THE ENGINE WAS OFF, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. AFTER STOPPING I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AFTER A FEW TRIES. THEN, FOR THE NEXT 2-4 MILES IT REVVED REALLY HIGH AND SEEM TO BE IN A RECOVER MODE AND WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO GO OVER 40 MPH. THE SERVICE CENTER CAN'T REPLICATE AND CLAIMS THAT THE OIL WAS OVERFILLED. THERE WERE SOME CODES BUT THEY DIDN'T FEEL THOSE APPLIES TO THE INCIDENT THEREFORE THIS ISSUE ISN'T WARRANTED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN FOR MYSELF, MY FAMILY, AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD THAT NISSAN REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE OR REMEDY. THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED. THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THEY REFUSED TO SERVICE THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE MILEAGE BEING OVER 80,000. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

WHEN DRIVING THIS CAR LONG DISTANCES ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN YOU COME TO A STOP THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE FOR A WHILE THEN IT TAKES OFF. MY DAUGHTER AND I BOTH HAVE A ROGUE. HERS IS A 2008 AND MINE IS A 2010 THEY BOTH DO THE SAME THING. HERS IS WORSE THEN MINE. SHE HAD TO SIT THROUGH A ENTIRE GREEN LIGHT AND HALF OF ANOTHER ONE BEFORE THE CAR DECIDED TO MOVE. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN ITS GOING TO TAKE OFF AND COULD TAKE OFF IN FRONT OF ON COMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE READ STATEMENTS OF OTHER OWNERS OF ROGUES THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT CAN'T FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE IT. UNLESS THEY TAKE THE CAR ON A LONG TRIP DOWN THE INTERSTATE THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO DUPLICATE IT. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS CAR BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

TL * THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ROUGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD DECELERATE SPORADICALLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE CONTINUOUS VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT) HAD OVERHEATED CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO BURN UP. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

AS WE ACCELERATED THE CAR BEGAN TO JERK. AFTER A FEW MILES THE CAR SLOWED DOWN IN SPEED AND WOULD NOT GO PASSED 40MPH. THE CAR WAS SET TO 70MPH ON CRUISE CONTROL THEN IT DROPPED SPEED AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE CAUSING ME TO GET OFF OF HIGHWAY RIGHT AWAY. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT THIS TIME IT'S WORSE. *TR

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 85 FROM GREENSBORO NC TO THOMASVILLE NC - MY CAR HAD NO ACCELERATION POWER WHEN TRYING TO CHANGE LANES. THIS HAD BEEN AN INCREASING PROBLEM AND I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP ON 12/1/10 AND THEY REPLACED THE CVT. SAME PROBLEMS OCCURRED, ESPECIALLY WHEN I DROVE MY CAR ON 3 HOUR TRIPS OR LONGER (EXAMPLE: ON A TRIP FROM GREENSBORO NC TO BRISTOL TN - TRAVELING UP/DOWN THE MOUNTAIN ON 77 & 81 - NO ACCELERATION). TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AGAIN BY CROWN NISSAN OF GREENSBORO (UNDER WARRANTY) ON 5/17/2012 AND 3/21/2014. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS SET AT 75 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY DECELERATED TO 10 MPH WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 104,000.
