2012 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER INTERMITTENTLY BUT DID NOT STALL. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 162,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN INDEPENDENTLY WHILE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS BEING DEPRESSED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE LONG DISTANCES IT WILL LOSE POWER WITHOUT NOTICE. WHEN DRIVING ACCELERATION WILL GO DOWN TO 0 MPH. IF YOU PUT THE GAS PEDAL ON THE FLOOR IT WILL STILL NOT ACCELERATE. THIS CAR CAN NOT BE DRIVEN LONG DISTANCES, AS IT HAS PLACED MY FAMILY IN DANGER NUMEROUS TIMES. I HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND ALLOW THE CAR TO SIT. MANY TIMES THIS HAS OCCURRED ON BUSY HIGHWAYS. THERE IS NO FIX WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I HAVE HAD 18 WHEELERS BEHIND ME WHEN THIS CAR HAS SUDDENLY STOPPED. NISSAN WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS ISSUE. WHEN INQUIRING ABOUT THE ISSUE NISSAN IS ONLY SEEKING A DIAGNOSTIC FEE. THROUGH RESEARCH I HAVE UNCOVERED THAT THIS IS A HUGE ISSUES IMPACTING TONS OF CUSTOMERS. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION SENSOR INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION TORQUE CLUTCH WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE VEHICLE STALLED DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000.

ONE TWO OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE THE CAR DECELERATED FROM 70 MPH TO UNDER 40 MPH WITH THE RPMS DROPPING DRAMATICALLY. FOLLOWING THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, THE DEALER TOLD US THEY COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM AND I MAY HAVE HIT THE WRONG PEDDLE. FOLLOWING THE SECOND OCCASION WE WERE TOLD IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND NEEDED $3000-$6000 IN REPAIRS. AFTER A ONE MINUTE GOOGLE SEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS HAS BEEN A NUMEROUS/CONTINUAL OCCURRENCE FOR SEVERAL YEARS WITH THE NISSAN ROGUE AND THEY WERE WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. NISSAN STATED THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST IN REPAIR COSTS AFTER FILING A COMPLAINT. HOW COULD THEY NOT HAVE KNOWN OF THIS PROBLEM WHEN IT IS EASILY IDENTIFIED IN A GOOGLE SEARCH? BOTH OCCURRENCES CREATED AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR MY FAMILY THE CAR IS 4 YEARS OLD WITH UNDER 70000 MILES. ATTACHED IS A SMALL SAMPLE FROM A GOOGLE SEARCH THAT WAS AVAILABLE TO THE DEALER WHO COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY MY VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN LOST ACCELERATION WHICH RESULTED IN MY NEARLY BEING INTO AN ACCIDENT WITH A TRACTOR TRAILER TRUCK AND OTHER VEHICLES BEHIND ME. MY FOOT WAS PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE DROPPED DOWN TO 40 MPH AND STAYED THERE FOR SOME TIME. THIS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME WITH MY DAUGHTER AND I NO LONGER FELT SAFE USING THE VEHICLE. I DID A SEARCH ON GOOGLE AND FOUND THAT HUNDREDS OF OTHERS WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WHICH WAS THE RESULT OF THE CVT TRANSMISSION BUT THAT NISSAN WAS MAKING THE CONSUMER PAY TO INSTALL THESE "COOLER KITS". NOT ONLY ARE THESE VEHICLES WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS UNSAFE AND TICKING TIMEBOMBS; IT IS UNFAIR THAT NISSAN IS MAKING THE CONSUMERS RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING AN ISSUE THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF. WE'RE TRUSTING THAT OUR VEHICLES ARE SAFE ENOUGH TO TRANSPORT OUR FAMILIES AND CHILDREN IN AND THEY AREN'T!! MY DAUGHTER AND I BOTH COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS CAR ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUE THAT NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS AND HOLD NISSAN ACCOUNTABLE BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE. THESE VEHICLES ARE NOT SAFE!!

A FEW WEEK AGO WHEN I STARTED THE CAR THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON DASHBOARD STARTED FLASHING. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND AFTER DIAGNOSIS HE SAID THAT AIRBAG SENSOR HAS TO BE REPLACED AND IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE CAR HAS ONLY 35100 MILES. IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHING. IT SHOULD BE ON RECALL.

I WAS DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, AT 70 MPH, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE RPM WENT TO 5000, AND THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DROPPED. I LEFT UP ON THE GAS PEDDLE, AND GRADUALLY PRESSED IT, AND MOVED OVER TO THE BERM; AS THE CAR WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 45 MPH, AT THE HIGHEST; WITHOUT THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING TOO MUCH THAT IT WOULD LOSE SPEED. IT ALSO IT HAD AN ODOR. ONCE I STOPPED AND EVERY THING COOLED, IT SEEMED TO RUN ALRIGHT. THAT WAS A WEEK AGO AND IT STARTED TO DO IT ,BUT NOT AS BAD TODAY; BUT I WAS ON REGULAR HIGHWAY AND DIDN'T TRAVEL NEAR AS FAR. I TOOK IT TO A GARAGE WHEN I LEFT THE INTERSTATE, AND TO THE NISSAN DEALER TODAY; AND BOTH SAID IT WAS A DEFECTIVE CVT TRANSMISSION, BUT WITH 76,000 MILES ON IT, THE DEALER TOLD ME NISSAN WONT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT ,

THEY MAY BE REACHED THROUGH THEIR WEBSITE AT WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV, WHERE YOU WILL FIND COMPLAINT FORMS AND OTHER INFORMATION. [XXX] NTSB ATC INVESTIGATIONS -----ORIGINAL MESSAGE----- FROM: [XXX] [MAILTO:[XXX]] SENT: MONDAY, AUGUST 22, 2016 18:33 TO: TCAS SUBJECT: NISSAN ROUGE SAFETY ISSUE SENT FROM MY IPAD NISSAN SAFETY ISSUE ABOUT THERE CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURES. BEFORE FAMILIES ARE KILLED, NISSAN SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THESE TRANSMISSIONS. I OWN A 2012 NISSAN ROUGE THAT WHEN THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS THE CAR STARTS TO WHINE AND COMPLETELY LOSES POWER. THIS HAPPENED TO ME ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS ON THE HIGHWAY AND I THOUGHT L WAS GOING TO GET KILLED TRYING TO GET INTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE WITH NO POWER. I STEPPED ON THE GAS AND L WAS JUST LOSING POWER. I HAVE READ ABOUT MANY SIMILAR ISSUES ONLINE. NISSAN CLAIMS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY DEVICE AND WHEN THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS IS GOES INTO SAFE MODE. THIS IS NOT A SAFETY DEVICE, THIS IS GOING TO KILL PEOPLE IF IT HASN'T ALL READY. THE LONGER THE DRIVE AND THE WARMER THE DAY IS WHEN IT HAS MORE POTENTIAL FOR LOSS OF POWER. I AM AT THE POINT WHERE I AM AFRAID OF GOING ON ANY LONG DISTANCE DRIVE BECAUSE L FEEL I AM GOING TO LOSS POWER. THIS STARTING HAPPENING AT AROUND 55,000 MILES AND IS GETTING WORSE.THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THESE TRANSMISSIONS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
