2011 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

MY 2011 NISSAN ROGUE WAS NEW WHEN I PURCHASED IT. ON JULY 15, 2015, WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH, THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED VIBRATING VIOLENTLY WITH A LOUD NOISE AND STOPPED SUDDENLY IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WITHOUT WARNING! I HAD 3 KIDS IN THE CAR AND WE COULD'VE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT! I COULD SHIFT IT INTO GEAR BUT IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE OR MOVE. A DIAGNOSTIC DISCOVERED IT'S THE TRANSMISSION AS SUSPECTED. I HAVE 118K HIGHWAY MILES ON IT AND HAVE BEEN GETTING REGULAR AND SCHEDULED OIL CHANGES AND MAINTENANCE. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM SINCE I MADE A CLAIM TO NISSANSUPPORT. THEY WOULD NOT ACKNOWLEDGE OR TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE POOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND STATED THAT IT WAS BEYOND THE WARRANTY. WHAT DOES IT TAKE FOR NISSAN TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ENDANGERING LIVES? THE DEATH OF A WIFE, HUSBAND, MOTHER, FATHER, SISTER, BROTHER...A CHILD?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. HOWEVER, THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE ABOUT WHAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

ON JULY 23, 2015, I WAS DRIVING HOME AT 35 MILES PER HOUR AND SUDDENLY MY VEHICLE STALLED LIGHTS FLASHED ON DASH BOARD. I TURNED EVERYTHING OFF AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART IT AND ONLY HEARD A TREMBLING NOISE AND CLICKING OF THE DASHBOARD. IN 1 HOUR I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AFTER GETTING IT JUMPED. BATTERY WAS TESTED BY DEALER ON JULY 22,2015 RIGHT BEFORE I PURCHASED MY ROGUE 2011( USED). SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED IN PARKING LOT OF A STORE WHERE I PARKED TO SHOP ON JULY 31ST,2015. I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART MY VEHICLE UNTIL IT GOT JUMPED AGAIN. THIS VEHICLE PASSED ALL INSPECTIONS AT THE DEALER AND SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITH BATTERY, HOWEVER IT IS APPEARING THAT IPDM IS FAULTY AND COULD CAUSE A CRASH AND EVEN DEATH OF MY FAMILY ANYTIME THIS HAPPENS AGAIN WHILE I'M DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE START RECALL SO NO ONE DIES DUE TO THIS PROBLEM!

I PURCHASED MY 2011 NISSAN ROGUE IN 2011 BRAND NEW. IN DEC 2013, AS I WOULD DRIVE TO/FROM WORK I FELT THE CAR WAS TRYING TO LOWER ITS SPEED WHILE I KEPT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. IT CAUSED ME TO SLOW UP TRAFFIC. THEN THE CAR WOULD NOT LET ME GO HIGHER THAN 20 MPH. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO OF THIS AND TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC, THEY ADVISED ME IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION THAT I WOULD NEED A NEW ONE. SO I CONTACT MY NISSAN DEAL AND THEY FIXED IT. NOW JULY 2015, LESS THAN 2 YEARS LATER WITH A NEW TRANSMISSION AT 60,000 MILES THE POWER TRAIN GOT WORSE. AS I WAS DRIVING UP A HILL THERE WAS A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT SO I STOPPED MY VEHICLE. ONCE THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I LET GO OF THE GAS PEDAL AND PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL AND IT DID NOT MOVE. THERE WERE A LOT OF CARS BEHIND ME AND LUCKILY MY CAR DID NOT START TO BACKWARDS. BUT I WAS EXTREMELY NERVOUS AND FELT THIS DEFECT WILL BE THE CAUSE OF MY FIRST ACCIDENT. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. WHEN I HAD MY HONDA IT NEVER DID THIS TO ME AND I PUT ON IT 100,000 MILES. PLEASE HELP!!!

I WAS DRIVING FROM DENVER TO RATON, NM. ON I-25 OUTSIDE PUEBLO, I WAS GOING ABOUT 80 MILES AN HOUR UP A HILL. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND THE SPEED QUICKLY DROPPED TO 45 MPH. I HAD THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I HAD TO PUT MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON, SO OTHER DRIVERS WOULD KNOW I WAS HAVING CAR TROUBLE. THIS HAPPENED ON FOUR OR MORE INCLINES INCLUDING RATON PASS WHERE I COULDN'T GET THE CAR OVER 25 MPH UNTIL I WAS GOING DOWNHILL. ON THE RETURN DRIVE, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. ON MY DRIVE TO BRECKENRIDGE A FEW DAYS AGO, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE AND QUICKLY LOSING SPEED ON THE FREEWAY IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I WILL GET A DIFFERENT CAR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. ONCE I STARTED RESEARCHING ONLINE, I SAW SEVERAL OTHER ROGUE OWNERS' COMMENTS ABOUT THIS KNOWN BUT IGNORED ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING ON A LONG ROAD TRIP, TWO HOURS INTO THE RIDE MY 2011 NISSAN ROGUE DECELERATED AND WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 60 MPH. I WAS GOING ABOUT 75 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT DECELERATED, WHILE I WAS FLOORING THE GAS TO 60MPH. THE GAS PEDDLE WAS COMPLETELY FLOORED AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS FIGHTING TO STAY AT 60 MPH. THE CAR STARTED VIBRATING WAS LOUD SOUNDING LIKE IT HAD NO POWER. THEN WHEN I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND CAME TO A STOP THE CAR WAS VERY DELAYED TO ACCELERATE AT ALL, AS IF IT HAD NO POWER. I REFUELED AT A LITTLE OVER A HALF TANK AND FOR THE FIRST TIME THE GAS GAUGE DID NOT REGISTER THE CORRECT MILES OR MOVE THE DIAL. ONCE I BEGAN DRIVING AGAIN, AFTER 20 MINUTES THE CAR AGAIN SLOWED AND WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 60MPH. ONCE RESTARTING THE ENGINE THE GAS GAUGE DID READ ACCURATELY. THIS OCCURRED ONCE BEFORE WHEN THE ROGUE HAD ABOUT 70K MILES ON IT AND THIS LAST INCIDENT THE CAR HAS 96K MILES. ON THE FIRST OCCASION THE ROUGE WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 50MPH. I BOUGHT THE ROGUE BRAND AND HAVE KEPT UP WITH THE REGULAR MAINTENANCE. THIS NEVER HAPPENED WHILE LIVING IN NY AND SEEMED TO START WHEN DRIVING OVER AN HOUR OR SO ON THE HIGHWAY, IN THE FLORIDA HEAT. I DID NOT TAKE IT TO GET CHECKED OUT AFTER READING VARIOUS FORUMS THAT IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE NISSAN WILL NOT FIX.

WAS DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE WITH CRUISE ENGAGED. CRUISE WOULD ABRUPTLY DISENGAGE CAUSING THE SPEED TO FALL RAPIDLY, AND ACCELERATOR WOULD CEASE TO WORK WITH GAS PEDAL PUSHED TO THE FLOOR. WOULD ALSO DECREASE SPEED WHEN CLIMBING HILLS. NEAR COLLISION TOOK PLACE AND THIS IS MY FAMILY CAR IN WHICH I ALWAYS HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN WITH ME. THIS HAPPENED ON MORE THEN ONE OCCASION AND WOULD RESULT IN MY HAVING TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESET THE VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE HURT OR KILLED. PROBLEM PERSISTED AND LEFT ME STRANDED IN AN INTERSECTION AS WELL. DEALER SAYS IT'S THE TRANS COOLER FAILING TO KEEP THE TRANSMISSION FROM OVERHEATING AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. REPAIR WILL COST BETWEEN $1100 AND $1300. CALLED CONSUMER AFFAIRS AT NISSAN AND THEY HAVE DECIDED IT'S NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE VEHICLE THAT HAS CAUSED THIS. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW FOUR YEARS AGO AND ONLY HAS 72,000 MILES. THAT RESPONSE IS UNACCEPTABLE. HAD I KNOW THE TRANNY WOULD FAIL WITHIN THAT TIME I NEVER WOULD HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. MY RECOMMENDATION, DO NOT BUY A NISSAN. THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. ALL MODELS OF ROGUE BEFORE THIS HAD THEIR CVT WARRANTIES DOUBLED TO 120,000 MILES BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM SO WHY NOT THE 2011? IT'S THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM! EXTREMELY UNHAPPY AND WILL BE FIGHTING THIS. I WILL BE CONTACTING THE BBB AND MY LAWYER. IF YOU'RE HAVING THIS PROBLEM THEN FILE A COMPLAINT. THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN AGAIN, AND WILL BOYCOTT THEM TILL THE END OF TIME. POOR VEHICLE, POOR SERVICE, POOR RESPONSE TO CONSUMER'S. STEER CLEAR IF YOU'RE SMART!

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 80 MPH ON A TOLL ROAD AND THE CAR LOST POWER TO ABOUT 50-60 MPH AND THE MOTOR WAS LIKE IN LIMP MODE FOR ABOUT 25 MILES . I STOPPED FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND WHEN I STARTED DRIVING AGAIN IT WAS FINE. SINCE THEN THIS HAPPENS ABOUT EVERY COUPLE WEEKS . DEALER SAYS I NEED A TRANSMISSION COOLER WHICH COST ALMOST $1100 . THIS CAR HAS LESS THAN 80,000 MILES I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT WOULD NEED A COOLER UNLESS IT IS DEFECTIVE .
