2010 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

I WAS GOING HOME FROM WORK LIKE EVERYDAY I DRIVE 40 MILES ONE WAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND WHEN I LEFT THE HIGHWAY I CAME TO A TRAFFIC LIGHT SO I WAS WAITING THERE AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I PUSHED ON THE GAS PEDAL LIKE I NORMALLY DO AND THE CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND AND THEN STARTED GOING BUT VERY SLOW I WAS AFRAID I WAS GONNA BE STUCK AT THAT INTERSECTION,AND THEN I LET GO OF THE GAS AND PUSHED THE GAS AGAIN AND THE CAR STARTEDGOING LIKE IF IT WAS AWAKENING AND THEN IT WAS GOING NORMAL AGAIN,SINCE THEN THAT HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES BUT THE OTHER TIMES WERE MORE SCARY BECAUSE I WAS AT STOP SIGNS AND WHEN I TRIED TO GO AFTER A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR WAS GOING VERY SLOW AGAIN AND I WAS LUCKY THAT I DIDN'T GET HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC,I CONTACTED THE DEALER BUT THEY WONT DO ANYTHING UNLESS THEY SEE THE CODE OR THEIR MECHANICS REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM

THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ROUTE 46 IN LITTLE FALLS, NJ DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. LUCKILY THE IT HAPPENED WHILE IN THE RIGHT LANE SO MY WIFE WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD QUICKLY BUT HAD NO FORWARD POWER. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO ACME NISSAN IN SOUTH BRUNSWICK, NJ WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A FAILED TRANSFER CASE AND TRANSMISSION. MY WIFE'S COMMUTE IS RATHER FAR AT 80+ MILES ROUND TRIP A DAY BUT IT IS ALMOST ALL ON HIGHWAYS. FOR A CAR TO HAVE A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION AT SPEED ON A CROWDED HIGHWAY WAT THIS AGE/MILEAGE OUT OF THE BLUE IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND HEARD A GRINDING NOISE ON THE CAR. I ALSO NOTICED CAR WOULD NOT DRIVE AT OPTIMAL SPEED WHEN GAS PEDAL PRESSED TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC. IT FELT SLUGGISH AND AS IT WAS LOSING POWER. I TURNED OFF THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM AND THE CAR STARTED CONDENSATING THROUGH THE EVENTS. NONE OF MY PREVIOUS CAR HAVE DONE THAT BEFORE. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR DRIVE THE CARS HOOD WAS EXTREMELY HOT YOU COULD BARELY TOUCH IT. I FELT SCARED FOR MY FAMILY AS THIS CAR DOES NOT FEEL SAFE AT ALL. DEALER IS NOT TAKING IT BACK AND I'VE NOW HAD THIS TROUBLED CAR 20 DAYS BUT THEY WON'T ADMIT IT'S DEFECTIVE. THEY SAID THEY CAN CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION BUT ONLY BECAUSE ITS UNDER WARRANTY. NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL ALL CVT CARS. *TT

MY CAR WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. I HAD ARRIVED HOME AT 3:30PM ON A SATURDAY. THE NEXT MORNING AT 10:00AM, I WENT TO MY CAR TO FIND THAT SOMETHING HAD EXPLODED INSIDE. THERE HAD BEEN A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FIRE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE, INCLUDING THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT, THE DASH, AND THE LOCATION OF THE AIRBAG. MY BEST GUESS AS TO WHAT HAPPENED IS THAT THE AIRBAG EXPLODED (NOT DEPLOYED), CAUSING A FIRE, WHICH DAMAGED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AND CAUSED A LOT OF COSMETIC DAMAGE. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF THE AIRBAG, OTHER THAN SOME SPRINGS, IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE IT SIMPLY DEPLOYED. THE INSURANCE COMPANY HAS DEEMED IT A TOTAL LOSS. I FEEL THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NISSAN SHOULD COVER, NOT ME OR MY INSURANCE COMPANY. BUT I CANNOT DETERMINE WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED OR HOW TO PURSUE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST THEM. THANKFULLY, NO ONE WAS INJURED. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THE DIRE WAS SELF-CONTAINED, AND THE ENTIRE CAR DIDN'T EXPLODE. *TR

I TOOK IT OUT OF TOWN ON A BUSINESS TRIP 200 MILES FROM HOME..ONLY TO HAVE IT START ACTING UP ABOUT 2HOURS FROM MY DESTINATION. GOING UP HILLS, MY CAR LOST POWER, WOULD NO LONGER GO ABOVE 60MPH(NOT TOO SAFE LOOSING POWER LIKE THAT WHEN THE SPEED LIMIT IS 75MPH). YOU COULD PUSH THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ANYMORE..AND THE RPM'S WOULD NOT EXCEED 2. THIS HAPPENED 2 TIMES IN THE NEXT 2 HOURS...WOULD LAST ABOUT 12-20 MINUTES, AND THEN, POWER WOULD COME BACK, THIS SAME THING HAPPENED 5 MORE TIMES IN MY NEXT TO TRIPS, I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY BLAMED NISSAN FOR THE TYPE OF TRANSMISSION USE IN THIS TYPE OF CARS. THIS IS NOT SAFE. IN ALL THE TIMES I LOST POWER GOING UP-HILL, AND IN THOSE OCCASIONS THERE WAS SOMEONE BEHIND ME. EVERY TIME HAD TO QUICK SWERVE AROUND ME, TO AVOID REAR-ENDING ME AT 75MPH, AS I LOST POWER DOWN TO -60MPH. *TR

I TOOK A TRIP TO CHICAGO GOING THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS IN TENNESSEE. AS I WAS GOING UP THE MOUNTAIN MY 2010 NISSAN ROGUE BEGIN TO SLOW DOWN, DISENGAGE FROM MY CRUISE CONTROL NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESS THE PETAL MY CAR WOULD NOT GO ANY FASTER. THIS OCCURS THROUGH OUT THE TRIP TO CHICAGO AND LATER TO NORTH CAROLINA. BEFORE TAKING THE TRIPS I HAD MY CTV LIGHT COME ON AND THE CAR WOULD ALMOST CUT OFF OR STALL WHEN I CAME TO A STOP. I TOOK THAT IN TO MY NISSAN PERSON WHO FIX THAT PROBLEM BUT COULD NOT FIX MY NEW PROBLEM BUT REFERRED ME TO MY DEALER. HE STATED THAT NISSAN WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY UP TO 120,000.00. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN TO THE DEALERS BUT THEY WOULD ONLY DRIVE IT AROUND THE BLOCK, NO LIGHT WOULD COME, NO CODE TO FIX. PLEASE REFER TO THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY EDMUND .COM CONCERNING THE CVT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH THE NISSAN 2010 ROUGE. THERE ARE TWO SERVICE BULLETIN THAT SHOW THIS PROBLEM ONLY OCCURS ON LONG DISTANCE TRAVEL. UNFORTUNATELY , NISSAN RECOMMEND THAT I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR PUTTING MY LIFE AND FAMILY AT DANGER UNTIL THE PROBLEM OCCURS, ONLY IF THERE IS A LIGHT COME ON THEN BRING IT IN TO THEM TO FIX. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, THEY DO NOT WANT TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS THE CVT NEW TRANSMISSION. I AM SUPPOSE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE AND MAKE MY MONTHLY PAYMENT EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A SERIOUS DEFECT WITH THIS CAR. I WANT NISSAN TO PURCHASE BACK THIS CAR AT FAIR MARKET VALUE AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MY GOVERNMENT RECALL THESE CARS BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. *TR

I HAD BEEN DRIVING MY ROGUE AND MY KIDS AND I WERE GOING HOME. I WAS IN A LEFT TURN LANE IN A BUSY INTERSECTION AND HALFWAY THROUGH I LOST POWER. I BARELY MADE IT OUT OF THE INTERSECTION, AND AFTER A MINUTE THE CAR WENT BACK TO NORMAL. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW AND THE SECOND TIME WAS WORSE THAN THE FIRST. NISSAN SYS THERE'S NOTHING WRONG.. WE DID HAVE THE TRANSMISSION FLUSHED AT THEIR RECOMMENDATION. *TR

VERY LITTLE ACCELERATION FROM PULLING OFF FROM A STOP, WILL NOT PULL OFF FROM AN INCLINE IN DRIVE, OVERDRIVE OR LOW GEAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION POWER. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,500.

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE STOP LIGHT SWITCH IN THE COMPUTERIZED ENGINE OF MY ROGUE. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE IN A NORMAL TIME FRAME FROM 0-15 MILES PER HOUR, 6-7 SECONDS TO RESPOND. IT WOULD NOT MAINTAIN SPEEDS OVER 60 MILES AN HOUR, SLOWING DOWN WITHOUT ANY CONTROL OVER IT. IT WOULD NOT RESPOND PROPERLY WHEN I PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS AS I IMPEDED TRAFFIC AND COULD NOT FUNCTION AS NEEDED IN HIGH TRAFFIC AND HIGHWAY SETTINGS. AS I RESEARCH, I SEE THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON COMPLAINT FOR SEVERAL YEARS. *TR
