2008 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

ON THE DATE LISTED ABOVE THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. MY WIFE AND I WERE IN FOUR LANES OF EASTBOUND TRAFFIC ON I40 IN BURLINGTON NC. WE LOST MOMENTUM IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND WERE LUCKY TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED IN MARCH 2008. IT HAD A KNOWN ISSUE WHERE GRINDING NOISES WERE COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. NISSAN FINALLY RELEASED A FIX AND MY CAR WAS UPDATED ON 11/30/2009. I BELIEVE THE CVT WAS DEFECTIVE OR DAMAGED BECAUSE OF A SLOW RESPONSE BY NISSAN. THE CAR WAS 20 MONTHS OLD BEFORE THE COMPANY REPAIRED THE VEHICLE SO THAT THE GRINDING NOISE WASN'T PRESENT. I ASKED NISSAN FOR DATA ON FAILURES AND - OF COURSE - THEY SAID THAT WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO BECAUSE THE CATASTROPHIC LOSS OF A TRANSMISSION COULD LEAD TO A DEADLY ACCIDENT. *TR

WAS RETURNING FROM TRIP NORTH CAROLINA BACK HOME TO TENNESSEE ONCE ABOUT HOUR AWAY FELT CAR JUST START SLOWING DOWN CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE WHEN PUSHING ON GAS. WAS ABLE TO GET TO RIGHT HAND LANE AND GET OFF INTERSTATE JUST BEFORE CAR WENT TO A CRAWL. CAR WAS MAKING WHINING NOISE WHILE TRYING TO MOVE CAR FROM HIGHWAY. CAR CAME TO STOP AND UNABLE TO MOVE AGAIN. HAD CAR TOWED BACK TO MY HOUSE SENT TO SHOP TO FIND OUT THAT TRANSMISSION HAD MALFUNCTIONED. DOING RESEARCH ON TRANSMISSION FOUND OUT THE NISSAN ROUGE IS USING CVT TRANSMISSION AND THAT NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 120K OR 10 YEARS. MY RESEARCH ALSO FOUND OUT THAT OTHER NISSAN OWNERS OF ROGUE AND MURANOS WERE HAVING ISSUES WITH CVT TRANSMISSION. WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT ABOUT THE WARRANTY I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER CARE TO INQUIRE ABOUT THIS. I WAS TOLD MY MODEL AND MAKE QUALIFIED UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT MILEAGE DIDN'T MATTER. NISSAN DECIDED NOT TO ASSIST ME WITH REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT OF TRANSMISSION. I TRIED TO TELL NISSAN ABOUT LETTER THAT STATED THEY WOULD DECREASE COST EVEN ABOVE 120K. THEY REFUSED TO DO SO. I HAD NO WARNING SENSORS THAT THERE WAS PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A BAD ACCIDENT IF THE TRANSMISSION HAD OF WENT OUT DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC. IT APPEARS READING ABOUT OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCES WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS THAT NISSAN DOESN'T WANT TO OWN UP TO HAVING A FAULTY TRANSMISSION. EVEN SPEAKING WITH MECHANICS FROM OUTSIDE AND WITH NISSAN THAT THIS TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY AND MANY HAVE ISSUES AND COMPLAINANTS ABOUT IT. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON, AND REMAINS ON. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND THEY SAID IT WOULD COST $1,800 TO REPAIR, AN INDICATOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS NOT WORKING. I DID ASK ABOUT RECALLS, AND THEY STATED THERE WERE NONE. IT SEEMS THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 08V521000. HOWEVER, MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BECAUSE "THE PART WAS MANUFACTURED AT A DIFFERENT PLANT". I BELIEVE AS THE SAME PART IS MALFUNCTIONING IN THE SAME VEHICLE RECALL, IT WAS ALSO MANUFACTURED INCORRECTLY, AND NISSAN NORTH AMERICA SHOULD REPAIR IT AS A PART OF THAT RECALL. *TR

WHEN DRIVING FOR A LONG DISTANT AND PAST THE OVER 99.7 MILES THE GAS PEDAL GET STOCK AND CAR LOSSES POWER; ALSO AFTER DRIVING FOR A PERIOD OF TIME IT STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT CAR WOUND TAKE OFF WILL TAKE TIME TO PICK UP SPEED. HAVE TAKING IT TO THE A MECHANIC WHICH THE GAS PUMP WAS REPLACE AND IT KEEP DOING IT. I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THE SAME ISSUES. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT READ THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL THE CAR HAS / THE CAR HAS LESS GAS THAN IT SHOWS.I HAVE BEEN TO THE NISSAN DEALER FIVE TIMES AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM - THEY HAVE CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL GAUGE TWICE. I HAVE REPORTED TO NISSAN CORPORATE AND THEY ADVISED THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE FOR THIS MODEL. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

MECHANIC CLAIMS THAT AS HE WAS BACKING MY CAR UP INTO A PARKING SPACE AND OUT OF NO WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL VIOLENTLY JERKED HURTING HIS FINGER. THEN WHEN THEY TOOK IT OUT FOR A TEXT DRIVE, GOING ABOUT 10 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL COMPLETELY LOCKED UP AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO TURN IT LEFT OR RIGHT. *TR

CVT TRANSMISSION WENT OUT HAD A LOUD HOWLING NOISE THE RPMS SHOT UP AND DOWN A FEW TIMES BIG VIBRATION THEN NOTHING. *TR

WAS ON MAIN STREET IN WATERTOWN , CT ROAD WAS WET AROUND 6:30 AM JUST ENTERING CURVE FRONT RIGHT AXLE BROKE CAUSING CAR TO HIT GUARD RAIL AND DO FRONT END DAMAGE . INSURANCE COMPANY REPLACED IT WITH A RECONDITIONED AXLE .ON 10/1/2014 LEFT AXLE BROKE DRIVING ON I-95 NOT TO FAR FROM HOME STEERING WAS WOBBLY BUT MADE IT HOME SAFE REPLACED THE AXLE. THE NEXT DAY THE RIGHT SIDE WENT AGAIN AND IS NOW BACK AT THE AUTO BODY SHOP WAITING ON REPAIR -- WAS TOLD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL OF NISSAN THINK IF THIS IS SO SHOULD BE A RECALL TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. *TR
