2010 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

LAST YEAR, CAR WOULDN'T START SO BATTERY WAS REPLACED. RECENTLY, EVENT OCCURRED AGAIN AND BROUGHT IT IN TO THE SHOP. THEY STATED THAT THERE IS A COMPUTER GLITCH THAT IS KEEPING " SOMETHING ON" WHEN THE CAR IS OFF. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THAT DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECELERATE AND THE ENGINE RPMS WOULD NOT EXCEED 3000. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS ABNORMALLY DEPRESSED TO THE FLOORBOARD; HOWEVER THERE WAS AN EXTREMELY SLOW RESPONSE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION FOR OVER TWO HOURS. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000.

DRIVING FROM DENVER TO SUMMIT COUNTY UP 1-70 THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 3000 RPM DURING CLIMBING CAUSING RAPID SLOWING ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY. IT HAS NOW HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND EVERY TIME SINCE I'VE DRIVEN UP THERE SINCE MAY. TWICE I'VE HAD IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO CLAIMED IT WAS DUE TO HIGH TRANSMISSION FLUID (WHICH HAD NOT BEEN CHANGED SINCE PURCHASE). IT HAS BEEN LOWERED TWICE. THE LAST TIME THIS OCCURRED IT WAS SO BAD THAT I PULLED OFF AT AN EXIT FOR FEAR OF SAFETY. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND LET IT REST FOR A FEW MINUTES. STARTED IT BACK UP AND ATTEMPTED TO DO A U-TURN. WITH THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR THE VEHICLE ONLY INCHED ALONG LEAVING ME STRANDED ACROSS THE ROAD AND VULNERABLE TO A CRASH IF ANOTHER VEHICLE HAD COME ALONG. *TR

I WAS DRIVING WHEN I SUDDENLY NOTICED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY THEN THE ENGINE SPLUTTERED AND THE VEHICLE SLOWED AND I HAD TO TURN ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT. I PARKED ON THE ROADSIDE WHEN ABLE TO AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES, I RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND REGAINED SPEED BUT THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS NOT RESPONSIVE HOWEVER WITHIN A FEW MINUTES THE ENGINE SPLUTTERED AGAIN AND HAD TO PARK AND CALLED FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. THE DIAGNOSIS FROM NISSAN WAS THAT THE RADIATOR HAD A "HOLE" IN IT AND WARRANTY DID NOT COVER AS THE MILEAGE HAD EXCEEDED 36,000. I WAS PUZZLED WHY THE RADIATOR OF A RELATIVELY NEW CAR WITHOUT ANY FOREWARNING WOULD DEVELOP THIS KIND OF PROBLEM AND I WAS NOT PREPARED TO PAY THE HIGH REPAIR COST, WHICH CONVINCED THERE MAY BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE RADIATOR FROM THE MANUFACTURER.

THE FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM IS NOT ACCURATE ALL THE TIME IT IS I BELIEVE DEFECTIVE AND NISSAN RECALLED ON IT, BUT WHEN I TOOK MY CAR OVER THEY SAID IT WAS NOT AFFECTED, ALTHOUGH I HAD A PROBLEM A THE TIME IT WASN'T THIS BAD... THIS DEFECTIVE FUEL GAUGE STILL SHOWS A FULL TANK OF GAS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE PEOPLE MAY WELL RUN OUT OF GAS ON THE ROAD, IMAGINE BEING OUT OF FUEL AND STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. *TR

WHEN TURNING RIGHT, THERE WAS NO ACCELERATION AS I PUSHED DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON A REGULAR BASIS AND OCCASIONALLY HAS HAPPENED HEADING STRAIGHT IN TRAFFIC. THERE IS OFTEN A LAG IN ACCELERATION WHEN PUSHING DOWN ON THE PEDAL. TOUGH IN MERGE SITUATIONS. *TR

WHILE PARKING THE VEHICLE THE SMELL SMOKE WAS EMANATING. AT ONCE THE HOOD POPPED OPENED AND FIRE ENSUED FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE NEAR THE HEADLIGHTS FIRE WAS BEGINNING TO SPREAD. FORTUNATELY A GOOD SAMARITAN NEIGHBOR WENT TO ONE OF THE NEARBY ESTABLISHMENTS AND OBTAINED A FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND PUT OUT THE FIRE. *TR

2010 ROGUE HAS REPEATED PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATION. SPECIFICALLY FROM A STOPPED POSITION. AND WHEN ON A HILL, IF YOU ARE STOPPED, IT WON'T ACCELERATE AT ALL, EVEN WHEN PUSHING DRIVING PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. ON TOP OF THIS, IT NOW WILL NOT HOLD A CRUISE WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON THE INTERSTATE. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN LEFT FROM A STOPPED POSITION WITHOUT A GREEN ARROW. THIS IS APPARENTLY, ACCORDING TO COMPLAINTS, A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. HAVE CALLED DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES TO SCHEDULE SERVICE AND TELL THEM ABOUT THIS MAJOR PROBLEM ONLY TO BE TOLD I WOULD GET A CALL BACK WITH NO CALL-BACK. AM SHOWING UP TOMORROW WITH MY CAR INSISTING ON AN ANSWER. *TR

AFTER DRIVING APPROX 200 MILES, FUEL GAUGE READS FULL FOR GAS TANK. IS NOT REDUCING THE READING OF THE GAS REMAINING TO FILL UP ACCURATELY. THERE HAVE BEEN EMAILS WITH THIS PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL SINCE 2008, MOST RECENTLY A SPECIFIC ONE HAD TO BE CHANGED 3 TIMES. *TR

MY CAR'S TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE DRIVING HOME. I HAVE A LONG COMMUTE TO AND FROM WORK. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME AT 20 MILES AN HOUR AND WAS NOT HIT BY A TRACTOR TRAILER. MY COMMUTE IS A LONG DRIVE ON CONGESTED HIGHWAYS. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE FOR A WHILE. I RECENTLY HAD SOME WORK DONE TO THE CAR AND BOUGHT NISSAN PARTS, I BOUGHT 4 SPARK PLUGS AND ALL 4 WERE BROKEN/DEFECTIVE. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 2 YEARS AND HAVE MAJOR ISSUES WITH IT IN THAT SHORT SPAN OF TIME. *TR
