2009 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

I WAS LEAVING A STORE AND GAS LIGHT CAME ON. I KNEW THAT I HAD FILL UP BEFORE ENTERING THE I-95 INTERSTATE AND I WAS A BIT PERPLEXED. I DROVE TO A GAS STATION AND FILLED UP ONCE AGAIN AND NOTICE THAT THE GAS GAUGE FILLED TO ITS CAPACITY. THIS OCCURRED A FEW MONTHS AGO AND I DISMISSED IT. ON 9/19/13, I STOPPED AT A GAS STATION AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ON 9/20/13 I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A FUEL SENDING UNIT WHICH WOULD COST ME $1,087. OF COURSE, I DECLINE TO REPAIR IT BECAUSE AT THAT TIME I WAS FRUSTRATED WITH NISSAN AND DIDN'T HAVE THE FUNDS. PREVIOUSLY, I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK ON TWO OCCASIONS FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WHICH I WAS GRATEFUL THAT IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AND TREATED THIS INCIDENT AN OCCURRING PROBLEM WITH 09 ROGUE. I ONLY HAVE THIS VEHICLE FOR 1.5 YEARS AND I AM FEARFUL EACH TIME THAT I DRIVE. EVEN THE YOUNG GENTLEMAN FROM TRIPLE A TOLD ME TO GET RID OF IT BECAUSE WITHIN THE LAST MONTH HE HAS TO TOW QUITE A FEW. MY COMMUTE ON INTERSTATE EACH DAY IS WORRISOME BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT. NOW I AM STUCK WITH A NEW PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT I AM STILL PAYING FOR AND SPENDING MORE MONEY ON GAS BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAN HAPPEN. PLEASE WE MUST DO SOMETHING WITH THIS COMPANY NISSAN. I PLACED A COMPLAINT TODAY 9/23/13 AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK SINCE THEY DON'T HAVE ANY INFORMATION WITH THIS TYPE OF RECALL. (LIARS) THEY ARE LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT ON NISSAN. IT IS NOW 2015 AND I DID FIX THE FUEL SENDING UNIT AND I AM STILL HAVING PROBLEMS. MY MECHANIC SEEM TO THINK THAT IT IS ELECTRICAL BECAUSE I AM STILL NOT ABLE TO PUMP GAS IN MY VEHICLE. I SEE THAT THE NISSAN QUEST HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE RECALL THE 09 ROGUE SINCE THE COMPLAINTS ARE SIMILAR. *TR

CAR TRANSMISSION MAKES WHINING SOUND. AS YOU DRIVE UP AN INCLINE IT GETS WORSE. CAR SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING. YOU ARE FORCED TO PULL OVER AS YOU HAVE NO POWER. AFTER 5 -10 MINUTES THE CAR WILL START UP AGAIN. CAR WAS BROUGHT TO NISSAN AND THEY WERE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THEY INSTALLED AN EXTERNAL OIL COOLER AS THEIR CVT TRANSMISSION HAS ISSUES WITH OVERHEATING. THIS IS MOST DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE CAR JUST SHUTS DOWN AND APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BY NISSAN. NISSAN CHARGED $1000 TO FIX THE ISSUE WHICH SHOULD BE A RECALLED SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE CAR. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND SITUATIONS WHERE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER ROGUE OWNERS. *JS

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WA TO CA I NOTICED WHILE DRIVING UP THE GREAT VINE MY 2009 NISSAN ROGUE STARTED TO DECELERATE FROM 70 MPH TO 45-55 MPH, I HAD MY FOOT PRESSED PEDAL TO THE METAL WITH NO ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE JUST MADE IT BUT WHILE AT ANOTHER SLIGHT HILL MY VEHICLE DID THE SAME THING HOWEVER THIS TIME IT REDUCED TO SPEED THAT POSED A SAFETY CONCERN WHILE ON A HIGHWAY. THE SPEED DROPPED FROM 70 TO ABOUT 30 IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. MY INFANT SON AND WIFE WERE IN THE VEHICLE AS IT STARTED TO SHUT DOWN I MANAGED TO GET OUT OF THE HIGHWAY BUT NOT BEFORE WE HAD BIG RIGS AND OTHER VEHICLES SLOW DOWN OR CHANGE LANES TO AVOID A COLLISION. MY VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER MOVE NOR WOULD FOR I HAD ZERO ACCELERATION CAPABILITIES. PLEASE RECALL THIS VEHICLE FOR IT POSES A SAFETY CONCERN THAT MAY CAUSE A SERIOUS INJURY, LAWSUIT AND EVEN DEATH TO AN OPERATOR, PASSENGER AND OR OTHERS. *TR

UNDER THE COLD WEATHER, BOTH OF THE FRONT DOORS COULDN'T OPEN FROM OUTSIDE SINCE THE LINKAGE OF THE DOOR LOCK FROZEN AND THE CABLE WAS DETACHED. THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED UNDER A RECALL, HOWEVER, IT IS NOW HAPPENING AGAIN IN DEC 2014. IT IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU HAVE TO OPEN DOORS FROM THE BACK TO GET ACCESS. *TR

DURING THE COLD WEATHER, AND IT HAPPENS IN EVERY WINTER THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT SHIFTING IN THE MORNING, IT STAYED AT HIGH RPM WHEN GAS PANEL WAS APPLIED. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS SINCE MY COMMUTE STARTED WITH A HIGHWAY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2009 NISSAN ROGUE WHEN I HEARD A BANGING NOISE FROM UNDERNEATH THE FLOOR BOARDS SO I TURNED AROUND AND HEADED BACK HOME WHEN THE TRUCK CAME TO A STOP AND WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK SO I WENT UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK AND IT HAD BROKE A U JOINT AND THE U JOINT WAS COMPLETELY COVERED IN RUST WITH THE DRIVE SHAFT STILL TURNING IT HAD SNAPPED THE SHIFTER CABLE. I HAVE SPOKE WITH NUMEROUS PEOPLE THAT HAVE WORKED ON CARS BEFORE AND THEY SAID THIS SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED AT THIS LOW OF MILEAGE. I ALSO SPOKE WITH THE PARTS MANAGER FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND HE HAS WORKED ON NISSANS FOR 20 YEARS AND HE SAID HE HAS NEVER SEEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO WORK WITH NISSAN AND THEY ARE TRYING TO SHOVE THE DEAL THAT THEY HAVE FOR ME DOWN MY THROAT AND I AM NOT WILLING TO TAKE IT SINCE THIS IS A FAULT OF NISSAN ON A BAD PART THAT THEY INSTALLED ON MY TRUCK. THERE IS ALSO ANOTHER RECALL ON MY TRUCK THAT I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF AND I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK SERVICED AT NISSAN DEALERSHIPS SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN 2011. *TR

I AM WRITING TO ALERT THE NHTSA TO A POSSIBLE DEFECT IN NISSAN'S AIRBAG CONTROL SYSTEM FOR THIS VEHICLE AND TO REGISTER MY DISSATISFACTION WITH HOW NISSAN NORTH AMERICA RESPONDED TO MY REQUEST FOR A REMEDY. I PURCHASED THIS 2009 NISSAN ROGUE AWD AT AUCTION ON 3 JULY 2013. NISSAN'S LEASING ARM WAS THE PREVIOUS OWNER. I NOTICED FROM THE OUTSET THAT THE LIGHT INDICATING THE STATUS OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SOMETIMES SHOWED INACTIVE, EVEN WHEN AN ADULT WEIGHING OVER 50KG WAS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT, AND BROWN'S FAIRFAX NISSAN WAS NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE CONDITION WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR A CHECK ON 13 JULY 2013. THE PROBLEM IS OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY OF LATE, AND NOW THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG OCCASIONALLY SHOWS THAT IT IS ACTIVE, EVEN WHEN THERE IS NOTHING ON THE PASSENGER SEAT. BROWN'S WANTED $128 TO "DIAGNOSE" THE PROBLEM BUT, SINCE IT REMAINED INTERMITTENT, WAS NOT SURE ANYTHING WOULD COME OF THE DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE. AT ABOUT THIS TIME, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR AN ECM PROBLEM (BY THE WAY, THE VEHICLE INITIALLY FAILED EMISSIONS INSPECTION IN JULY OF 2013 WHEN I TOOK IT TO MY REGULAR SERVICE STATION, BUT BROWN'S WAS ABLE TO GET A "PASS" READING). I ASKED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA TO AUTHORIZE BROWN'S TO CONDUCT A DIAGNOSIS OF THE PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG PROBLEM AT THE TIME OF THE ECM REPAIR. NISSAN REFUSED. BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM REMAINS INTERMITTENT, I AM UNSURE HOW TO PROCEED. I DO NOT WISH TO PAY $128 SEVERAL TIMES FOR REPEATED "DIAGNOSIS", BUT CLEARLY SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. I AM SUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT IN CASE OTHER INSTANCES OF THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH NISSAN VEHICLES MIGHT HAVE BEEN RECORDED. FOR NOW AND UNTIL THE PROBLEM BECOMES CONSISTENT, I WILL NOT CARRY FRONT-SEAT PASSENGERS. *TR

THE ELECTRICAL AIR BAG SENSORS FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT HAVE BECOME DYSFUNCTIONAL. THE AIR BAG LIGHT INDICATOR CONTINUALLY FLASHES ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE SPECIFIC AIR BAG PASSENGER LIGHT STAYS ON. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR AND THE DEALERSHIP CLEARED A CODE ASSOCIATED WITH THE AIR BAGS SENSORS. THE AIR BAG LIGHTS FUNCTIONED NORMALLY FOR ONLY A COUPLE OF DAYS AND THEN RETURNED BACK TO FLASHING AND/OR STAYING ON CONTINUOUSLY. I WAS ADVISED THAT THE SENSORS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT ARE NOT WORKING AND THAT IT WILL COST $2,500 TO REPAIR. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2008 NISSAN ROGUE AIR BAG SYSTEMS BUT APPARENTLY THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THE 2009 MODELS. I AM NOT PAYING $2,500 TO REPAIR SENSORS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A MALFUNCTION OF THE PRODUCT THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

MY GIRLFRIEND WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 80 EAST HEADING UP TO TRUCKEE. WHILE CLIMBING IN THE MOUNTAIN THE CAR LOST THE ABILITY TO REV HIGHER THAN 2500RPM. HER SPEED TROPPED FROM 65 TO 35 ON A MOUNTAIN ROAD AND WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A SEMI. NO MATTER HOW MUCH GAS SHE GAVE THE CARE WOULD NOT GO FASTER THAN 35 MPH. SHE HAD TO PULL OVER OFF THE FREEWAY AND AFTER SHUTTING OFF THE CAR FOR 15 MINUTES EVERY RAN FINE. NOW ANY TIME WE DRIVE FOR MORE THAN 60 MINUTES WE LOOSE POWER AND HAVE TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY TO LET THE CAR REST BECAUSE OF LOSS OF POWER. ALMOST BEEN IN TWO ACCIDENTS. *TR

2009 NISSAN ROGUE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO A FAILURE TO REMEDY CVT TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING DESIGN DEFECT. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATED, THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY SLOW DOWN AND IT WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. THE CONSUMER STATED NONE OF NISSAN'S REMEDIES WORKED, DESPITE HAVING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID FLUSHED AND REPLACED, AND THEREAFTER, HAVING THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. THE CONSUMER WAS THEN INFORMED A NEW COOLANT TANK WOULD FIX THE ISSUE.
