2012 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS ON. THE DEALER SAID THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY AND A NEW AIRBAG MODULE WAS NEEDED AT A COST OF $1,500 AND I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW SEPT, 2013; ALSO PURCHASING ADVANTAGE PREFERRED EXTENDED WARRANTY AT THAT TIME. THE DEALER ADVISES THAT WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

WHEN YOU ACCELERATE,THERE IS A LOUD SQUEALING NOISE THAT OCCURS FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I TOOK THE ROGUE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THE SERPENTINE BELT WAS BAD. I HAD IT REPLACED...AND SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE SQUEALING NOISE WAS BACK AGAIN I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY ME THE SERPENTINE BELT WAS BAD AGAIN! THE CAR ONLY HAS A TOTAL OF 34,000 MILES ON IT AND THE 2ND BELT ONLY HAS ABOUT 500 OF THOSE MILES ON IT. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE ROGUE HAS A VIBRATION TO IT AT TIMES WHEN THE SQUEALING OCCURS . I ASKED THE DEALER IF THERE COULD BE A PROBLEM WITH THE CVT DUE TO THE SQUEALING AND VIBRATIONS WHEN ACCELERATING AND THEY TOLD ME "NO". I ASKED OTHER AUTO SERVICE SHOPS AND TOLD ME THAT IT SOUNDS VERY MUCH LIKE THE CVT IS STARTING TO HAVE ISSUES. I ALSO LOOKED UP PROBLEMS WITH THE ROGUE ON THESE ISSUES AND SEE THAT MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS BUT NISSAN IS NOT HAVING ANY RECALLS ON THIS HOWEVER, I DID FIND A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR ONE OF NISSAN'S OTHER VEHICLES(MURANGO) THAT HAS CVT SQUEALING AND SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND THAT IS BULLETIN NTB 08104 BUT NOTHING FOR THE ROGUES. WHY IS THAT WHEN THEIR TRANSMISSIONS ARE ALMOST THE SAME?

ON 12/26/2015 AT 4AM MY 2012 NISSAN ROGUE CAUGHT ON FIRE IN MY CARPORT. MY DAUGHTER AND I COULD HAVE DIED HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR MY 2 GOLDEN RETRIEVERS ALERTING US. I LATER FOUND OUT THAT I WASN'T NOTIFIED OF A OPEN RECALL ON 1/26/2015 INCLUDING MY VIN FOR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, IN WHICH IT COULD SHORT AND CAUSE A VEHICLE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED TOTALED BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND OVER $10,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE SUSTAINED TO MY HOME. NISSAN BEGAN THEIR INVESTIGATION ON 1/20/2016 AND ON 2/12/2016 THEY CONTACTED ME VIA FEDEX THAT THE HAVE NO FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS INCIDENT. I AM TOTALLY BAFFLED BY THIS BECAUSE VEHICLE FIRE IS CONSEQUENCE OF THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM ON MY VIN. AND YES I HAVE INSURANCE ON BOTH MY HOME AND VEHICLE, BUT THERE IS $500 DEDUCTIBLE ON MY HOME. AND THERE IS A BALANCE AFTER MY INSURANCE PAID OFF WHAT THE VEHICLE IS WORTH AT THE TIME OF THE FIRE. AND I HAD TO PUT MONEY DOWN MONEY TO BUY A NEW VEHICLE. SO I'M LEFT WITH ALL OF THE FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILTY AND NISSAN HAS NONE. I AM LIVID!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ROGUE. UPON PARKING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE FOLLOWED BY FLAMES SHORTLY AFTER. A FIRE REPORT WAS FILED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE INVESTIGATOR STATED THAT THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE BECAUSE OF THE WIRING HARNESS. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V032000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000. CONSUMER STATED THAT NISSAN TOLD HIM THAT THEY WERE NOT LIABLE FOR THE DAMAGE UNLESS HE COULD PROVE THE FIRE WAS CAUSED BY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. CONSUMER STATED THAT NISSAN TOLD HIM TO CONTACT TIRES PLUS. VIN INVALID IN CARFAX. UPDATED 06/14/18*JB

WHILE DRIVING MY 2012 NISSAN ROGUE BACK TO NJ FROM MD, MY CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN EVEN WHILE I WAS STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATION. RPMS WOULD SOAR UP ANY TIME I STEPPED ON THE PEDAL SO I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, LET THE CAR COOL FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN TRIED TO START IT UP AGAIN AND AS I STEPPED ON THE PEDAL THE CAR BARELY ACCELERATED (JUST INCHED ALONG), LEAVING ME TO CALL AAA AND HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO NJ. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP, THE NEXT DAY I RECEIVED A CALL THAT MY TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR IS ONLY 3.5 YEARS OLD (WELL TAKEN CARE OF) AND EVEN THOUGH IT HAS 77,000 MILES ON IT, A CAR AS NEW AS THIS ONE SHOULDN'T BE HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND AFTER GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THEM A FEW TIMES THEY DECIDED THEY ARE NOT GOING TO HELP ME BECAUSE THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY, MIND YOU BACK IN 2003-2010 THEY PUT OUT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM ON ALL NISSAN ROGUES DUE TO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, SO THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE THEN I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY AREN'T ACKNOWLEDGING THE ISSUE NOW. I AM STILL PAYING THE CAR OFF AND NOW THEY EXPECT ME TO PAY $4,000 TO HAVE THE TRANS FIXED. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS I HAVE FOUND THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS IN NISSAN CARS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM, ACTUALLY A VERY COMMON ISSUE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS! LOOKING FOR ANY HELP I CAN GET ON THIS BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION IS A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX!

1. NISSAN REFUSES TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR USING DUNLOP 7000A/S 225/55/18 TIRES ON THIS VEHICLE WHICH ARE DANGEROUS IN ANY CONDITION BESIDES DRY ROAD CONDITIONS THESE TIRES ARE INHERENTLY DEFECTIVE ALSO FILED COMPLAINT WITH GOODYEAR TIRE WHICH REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY ISSUES WITH THIS TIRE. 2. THE TRAFFIC FEATURE OF THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK. AFTER 20 HOURS ON THE PHONE WITH SIRIUSXM THEY ADVISED ME THIS IS A NISSAN ISSUE. NISSAN ALSO REFUSES TO TAKE ANY ACTION. 3. THE RADIO TURNS ON AND OFF OR THE SOURCE OF THE MEDIA CHANGES WHEN YOU BLOW THE HORN ALSO NISSAN HAS NO SOLUTION OR FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2012 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PARKED VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE WITHOUT WARNING. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V032000(ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE CONTACT WAS NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 44,000.

TIRES ARE UNSAFE DANGEROUS AND SHOULD NOT BE MANUFACTURED. NO TRACTION IN WET, SNOW OR ICE, CONSTANT PULLING IN THE WHEEL DUE TO THE TIRE TREAD DESIGN, PRIOR SET ON DAUGHTERS CAR LASTED ONLY 19,000 MILES, THIS TIRE HAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR SAFETY REASONS,

ON 10/30/15, I WAS DRIVING MY NISSAN ROGUE AND PULLED OUT AT A LIGHT IN ABINGDON, VA ONTO A MAIN HIGHWAY. IT WAS DARK AND AROUND 7:00 P.M. AND HAD JUST BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY MADE A REALLY LOUD NOISE THAT SOUNDED ALMOST LIKE DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH A FLAT AND THEN THERE WAS AN ODOR THAT SMELLED LIKE SOMETHING ON FIRE. I GAVE IT GAS, BUT IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED AS I WAS PUSHING THE GAS TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE ROAD AND UNABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE. I HAD MY 10 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER IN HER CAR SEAT IN THE REAR OF THE CAR. WITH HELP I WAS ABLE TO PUSH VEHICLE PARTIALLY OUT OF THE ROAD. MY DAUGHTER AND I SAT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR ALMOST THREE HOURS BEFORE A TOW TRUCK CAME TO PICK US UP. I CONTACTED NISSAN IN BRISTOL AND WAS TOLD THAT THE POWER TRAIN IS NOT UNDER ANY WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 81,000 MILES ON IT. I THOUGHT THE VEHICLE HAD A 5 YEAR 100,000 MILE WARRANTY, BUT WAS TOLD THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. MY CONCERN IS I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION GOING OUT. TOOK VEHICLE TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP AND WAS TOLD THE TORQUE HAD LITERALLY EXPLODED SENDING METAL THROUGHOUT THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER RESEARCHING, I SAW WHERE NISSAN HAD REIMBURSED PEOPLE FOR TRANSMISSIONS AND EXTENDED POWERTRAIN WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS/120,000 MILES. IT HAS A CVT TRANSMISSION. I WAS WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR OVER 2 WEEKS. THE VEHICLE HAS SINCE BEEN REPAIRED BUT THERE IS STILL A NOISE AND THE REPAIRMAN SAID THAT I WAS GOING TO NEED TO GET A DRIVESHAFT FOR THE VEHICLE AS IT HAD BEEN DAMAGED AS WELL. I AM STILL PAYING ON THIS VEHICLE AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. MY HUSBAND CONTACTED NISSAN AND HE WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. I CONTACT NISSAN ON 11/16/15 AND WAS TOLD IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY UNTIL 1/13/16. BUT I HAD TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AT A NISSAN DEALER. VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY AMOCO ASKING FOR REIMBURSEMENT. THANK YOU. *TR

AFTER THE VEHICLE GETS WARM THE TRANSMISSION WILL INTERMITTENTLY WHINE (STARTED AFTER 50,000 MILES. IT INCREASES WITH SPEED AND IS MOST NOTICEABLE WITH THE WINDOW OPEN. IT ALSO STARTS TO LOOSE POWER IF YOU CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT. IF YOU PARK AND LET THE TRUCK SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES THE WHINING STOPS. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TODAY AND THEY SAY THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I ALSO HAD A 2010 NISSAN ROGUE WHICH DID THE VERY SAME THING AT ALMOST THE SAME MILEAGE. NISSAN DID REPLACE THE CVT TRANSMISSION ON THAT ONE.
