2009 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

I OWN A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE WITH 44,000 MILES ON IT. ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO MY DRIVER'S SEAT WOULDN'T OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE, AND ABOUT A WEEK AGO THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT. I AM NOW OBLIGATED TO ENTER MY CAR THROUGH THE BACK SEAT. I DID MY RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO MANY ROGUES AND THERE ARE EVEN RECALLS ON SOME MODEL YEARS (EXCEPT FOR MINE OF COURSE). THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE HUDSON NISSAN ON ROUTE 440 IN JERSEY CITY, NJ WANT TO CHARGE ME $130.00 JUST TO TAKE THE DOOR APART TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE IS. NEEDLESS TO SAY I DID NOT AGREE WITH THE PRICE. WHAT DO I DO? I HAVE A NEARLY NEW CAR THAT I CAN'T GET INTO AND THIS IS A NISSAN ISSUE AS IT HAS HAPPENED TO MANY ROGUE OWNERS. *TR

WHILE EXITING THE INTERSTATE THE CAR JARRED TO A STOP. WHEN WE TRIED TO ACCELERATE AT THE GREEN LIGHT THE ENGINE REVVED BUT WOULD NOT MOVE. WHEN WE PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY THE TRANSMISSION CAUGHT AND THE CAR STRUGGLED TO GO 5 MILES AN HOUR- JARRING ALL THE WAY. WE BARELY MADE IT TO A PARKING LOT BEFORE IT DIED COMPLETELY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ROUGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

THE CVT WAS REPLACE AT 95000 MILES DUE TO TOTAL FAILURE. AT 12000 MILES WHILE DRIVING ON A ROAD WITH LOTS OF HILLS THE CAR LOST POWER AND SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN TO 30 MPH. IT SEEMED TO RESET AFTER SHUTTING DOWN AND LETTING THE CAR REST FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. I TALKED TO MY MECHANIC AND THEY SUGGESTED CLEANING THE FUEL INJECTORS AND A NEW AIR FILTER. I DID THAT AND IT STILL HAPPENED. I BROUGHT IT TO NISSAN, THEY CHECKED IT FOR 3 DAYS AND FOUND NOTHING. THEY SAID TO WAIT FOR A CODE TO COME UP AND THEY COULD GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT. AT 140,000 MILES THE CODE CAME UP AS AN INTERMITTENT TORQUE CONVERTER CIRCUIT PROBLEM. NISSAN THEN SAID THAT THEY COULDN'T RECREATE THE CODE SO THE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO FIX. AFTER READING SEVERAL POSTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE SAME REACTION FROM NISSAN, I THINK THAT A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IS IN ORDER. I DON'T THINK THAT SOMEONE NEEDS TO DIE DUE TO NISSANS FAULTY VEHICLES, FOR ACTION TO BE TAKEN. *TR

I WAS LEAVING A STORE AND GAS LIGHT CAME ON. I KNEW THAT I HAD FILL UP BEFORE ENTERING THE I-95 INTERSTATE AND I WAS A BIT PERPLEXED. I DROVE TO A GAS STATION AND FILLED UP ONCE AGAIN AND NOTICE THAT THE GAS GAUGE FILLED TO ITS CAPACITY. THIS OCCURRED A FEW MONTHS AGO AND I DISMISSED IT. ON 9/19/13, I STOPPED AT A GAS STATION AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ON 9/20/13 I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A FUEL SENDING UNIT WHICH WOULD COST ME $1,087 WHICH INCLUDES PARTS AND LABOR. OF COURSE, I DECLINE TO REPAIR IT BECAUSE AT THAT TIME I WAS FRUSTRATED WITH NISSAN AND WAS THINKING ABOUT TRADING IN THE CAR. PREVIOUSLY, I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK ON TWO OCCASIONS FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WHICH I WAS GRATEFUL THAT IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AND TREATED THIS INCIDENT AN OCCURRING PROBLEM WITH 09 ROGUE. I ONLY HAVE THIS VEHICLE FOR 1.5 YEARS AND I AM FEARFUL EACH TIME THAT I DRIVE. EVEN THE TRIPLE A YOUNG MAN TOLD ME TO GET RID OF IT BECAUSE WITHIN THE LAST MONTH HE HAS TO TOW QUITE A FEW. MY COMMUTE ON INTERSTATE EACH DAY IS WORRISOME BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT. NOW I AM STUCK WITH A NEW PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT I AM STILL PAYING FOR AND SPENDING MORE MONEY ON GAS BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAN HAPPEN . PLEASE WE MUST DO SOMETHING WITH THIS COMPANY NISSAN. I PLACED A COMPLAINT TODAY 9/23/13 AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK SINCE THEY DON'T HAVE ANY INFORMATION WITH THIS TYPE OF RECALL. (LIARS) THEY ARE LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT ON NISSANS. I AM NOT CERTAIN IF I WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON A CAR THAT I TRULY FEEL UNSAFE WITH OR WRITE OFF MY LOSS AND LOOK FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE. EITHER WAY, I HAD TO WRITE THIS COMPLAINT SINCE I HAVE NEVER FELT SO UNSAFE DRIVING A VEHICLE.

CPSC:I1390199A. 2009 NISSAN ROUGE. CONSUMER STATED SHE IS HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. *LN THE CONSUMER STATED THE TRANSMISSION WOULD DISENGAGE ON UPHILL SLOPES CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOSE SPEED AS IT DID NOT ACCELERATE. ON A TERRAIN LEVEL, THE VEHICLE WOULD BARELY MAINTAIN SPEED, TO WHICH IT SLOWED DOWN. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM.

I HAD DRIVEN MY 2009 NISSAN ROGUE AS I WAS DRIVING FOR ABOUT 1 HR @ 65MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SPEED DECREASED ON ITS OWN .. I LET GO OF THE GAS AND THEN QUICKLY PUT MY FOOT ON THE PEDAL AGAIN BUT IT WOULD NOT SPEED UP.. I HAD MY FOOT COMPLETELY ON THE GAS PEDAL. BUT IT WOULD NOT GO FASTER THAN 20MPH. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THERE COULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT... WITH MY TWO KIDS ON BOARD... *TR

I HAD DRIVEN MY 2009 NISSAN ROGUE FROM NEW JERSEY TO BOSTON, FAIRLY HEAVY TRAFFIC. AS I NEARED MY DESTINATION, I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. AS I PULLED AWAY TO TAKE A LEFT TURN, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND LIMPED ACROSS ROUTE 1, FORCING HEAVY, HIGH SPEED, ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO STOP. I SPOKE WITH THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT IT IS A PROBLEM AND THAT NISSAN IS NOT OFFERING A SOLUTION. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE NJ DEALER TO LEAVE IT FOR A COUPLE DAYS FOR THEM TO TROUBLE SHOOT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. AND HAD ME PAY TO CHANGE THE FLUID. THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND THE DEALER REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE CAR IS NOT PREDICTABLE AND SAFE TO DRIVE WITH MY 2 YOUNG DAUGHTERS. FWIW, THE DEALER THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION A FEW YEARS AGO UNDER WARRANTY FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. ANY LOCAL DEALER DENIES THIS ISSUE EXISTS DESPITE THE TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY ON THE INTERNET. HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/DIRECT/VIEW/.F213D8F. *JS
