2009 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION WHILE CHANGING LANES AND CRASHED WITH ANOTHER FASTER CAR. *TR

THE CAR WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" UNEXPECTEDLY AND DOES NOT MOVE. NISSAN'S OLDER CVT TRANSMISSION GETS HOT AND TO PROTECT ITSELF, NISSAN HAS IT PROGRAMMED TO SHUT ITSELF DOWN. AS A RESULT, THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE, EVEN THOUGH IT IS IN GEAR. THIS HAPPENS AFTER LONG HIGHWAY DRIVES (1 HOUR +) OR WHEN CLIMBING LONG HILLS. THE DEALER SOLUTION IS TO CONTINUALLY FLUSH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID EVERY 30K MILES AT A COST OF OVER $200 EACH TIME. THIS IS VERY VERY VERY DANGEROUS, IF YOU ARE MAKING A LEFT-HAND TURN INTO TRAFFIC AFTER COMING TO A STOP, THERE IS A HUGE POTENTIAL TO BE INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY, CLIMBING A HILL, THE CAR HAS AGAIN, GONE INTO LIMP MODE AND SLOWED DOWN TO A CRAWL, MAKING THE VEHICLE BEHIND YOU ALMOST REAR-END YOU. ADDITIONALLY, NISSAN'S ANSWER HAS BEEN TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSION TO 120K, BUT THAT IS OF NO VALUE BECAUSE THE DEALERS WILL NEVER ADMIT THAT THE CVT NEEDS REPLACING NOR DOES IT PAY FOR THE $250 CVT FLUSH. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS, IT IS VERY VERY VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY ON A LONG DISTANCE TRIP AND AFTER ABOUT 2 1/2 HOURS, MY VEHICLE WON'T ACCELERATE PAST 60 MPH AS I WAS PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE. IT WAS DANGEROUS THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE VEHICLES(INCLUDING BIG TRUCKS) BEHIND ME HAD TO BRAKE BECAUSE OF MY UNEXPECTED NO ACCELERATION. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS LIT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL TO INDICATE ANYTHING WRONG. AFTER A THE REST STOP, THE VEHICLE WENT BACK TO NORMAL BUT DID IT AGAIN WHILE RETURNING THREE DAYS LATER AND AFTER DRIVING FOR MORE THAN TWO AND HALF HOURS. CALLED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO NISSAN DEALER TO GET CHECKED. CALLED DEALER AND I HAVE APPOINTMENT NEXT WEEK. *TR

I HAVE A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE. BOUGHT IT USED FROM YEAR, AT ABOUT 55000-60000 MILES THE AIR BAG LIGHT STARTS TO FLASH WITH NO INCIDENT BEFORE. I WENT TO THE DEALER HE FOUND A B1018 CODE AND SAYS MY FRONT SEAT SENSOR IS NO GOOD. NEEDS TO REPLACE THE FRONT SEAT ASSEMBLY, AND WANTS 3000$ FOR THAT. I LOOKED IN THE WEB AND SAW THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE ROGUE. AND THEY HAD SOME RECALLS BECAUSE OF THAT. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THEY COULD LOCATE ALL THE BAD SENSORS THE USED SO PROBABLY I GOT A BAD SENSOR TO START WITH. DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW WITH THE CAR. ANY SUGGESTIONS? HELP? I THINK NISSAN SHOULD BARE THE COST OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS HIGHWAY DRIVING FOR 40 MILES WHEN MY NISSAN ROGUE STARTED TO GET LOOSE AND MAKE AN ODD NOISE WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES. THE RODE WAS DAMP IN PLACES, BUT NOT ENOUGH TO ENGAGE THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES. TRAVELING ON, IT WOULD OCCASIONALLY REPEAT THE NOISE AND WOBBLE. 60 MILES INTO THE TRIP, I WAS TRAVELING 55 MPH AND NOT APPLYING THE BRAKES WHEN THE STEERING GOT EXTREMELY WOBBLY AND I HAD LITTLE CONTROL OVER THE CAR. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO EVEN PULL OVER. ONCE I GOT IT STOPPED, I CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK AND HAD TO PULL UP TO READ A ROAD SIGN AND THE STEERING WAS STILL WOBBLY JUST PULLING FORWARD. IT WAS TOWED TO THE NEARBY NISSAN DEALER WHO WORKED ON IT FOR OVER 3 HOURS AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I ASKED IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS OR PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL AND WAS TOLD, "NO." *TR

VEHICLE'S CVT TRANSMISSION REGULARLY ENTERS "SAFETY MODE," TRIGGERING A SUDDEN LOSS IN POWER AT HIGH SPEED (75MPH+). NISSAN AWARE THAT THE ISSUE EXISTS AND IS WIDESPREAD, BUT WAITS FOR COMPLAINING CUSTOMERS TO COME TO DEALERSHIP TO INSTALL A TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER. *TR
