2009 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT REGISTER PROPERLY. IT WILL NOT SHOW A FULL TANK OR NO GAS. IT ONLY SHOW 80 TO 90 PERCENT FULL AND DOES NOT GO BELOW 1/4 TANK, EVEN WITH NO GAS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING FROM BALTIMORE TO PHILADELPHIA IN JUNE OF THIS YEAR. AFTER ABOUT 1 HOUR OF HIGHWAY DRIVING MY 2009 NISSAN ROGUE STARTED TO STALL AS I REDUCED SPEED TO GET ON THE RAMP OF ANOTHER HIGHWAY. I WANTED TO PICK UP SPEED IN ORDER TO MERGE ONTO THE NEXT HIGHWAY, BUT MY CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND. I HAD PUSHED THE ACCELERATING PEDAL TO THE METAL AND IT STILL WAS NOT RESPONDING OR RATHER GOING AT 40MPH. I EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND STOPPED THE ENGINE, TO GIVE IT A REST, BUT AS I PROCEEDED THE CAR STILL STALLED. I ENDED UP HAVING IT TOWED FROM MY HOTEL TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP LOCATED 6723 ESSINGTON AVENUE PHILADELPHIA, PA 19153. I WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS TOPPED OFF BUT THEY DID NOT SEE A LEAK. I DROVE THE CAR BACK TO BALTIMORE THE NEXT DAY, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN RECURRING. I HAVE HAD MANY NEAR MISSES) IS NISSAN WAITING TO HAVE FATALITIES IN ORDER TO REACT? I DO NOT WISH TO BE A STATISTIC. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, MY 2009 NISSAN ROGUE BEGAN OVERHEATING. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY MECHANIC WHERE HE FOUND COOLANT IN THE SPARK PLUGS SO REPLACED ALL PLUGS AND CHECKED THE RADIATOR. WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE, IT WOULDN'T START. HE CHECKED IT OVER AGAIN AND SAID THAT IT HAD A BLOWN HEAD GASKET. UNFORTUNATELY, THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY WAS ONLY GOOD FOR 5 YRS/60,000 MILES. I WAS 6,000 MILES OVER THE LIMIT. WHEN NISSAN WAS CONTACTED TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE POWER TRAIN. WHEN I ASKED THEM IF THEY HAD NOTICED A HIGH INCIDENCE OF POWER TRAIN PROBLEMS BEING REPORTED, I WAS TOLD "WELL, YES AND NO." HUH? *TR

VEHICLE WOULD START AND I WAS ABLE TO CHANGE GEARS BUT THESE WILL NOT ACTIVATE. EVEN WHEN ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE IT WILL NOT MOVE. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED. THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENCE; THE FIRST TIME WE EXPERIENCE THIS SITUATION WAS AT THE TIME WE TOOK THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE DEALER. AFTER STOPPING FOR GAS AND STARTING THE VEHICLE AGAIN IT ONLY MOVED FOR ABOUT 5 MINS, THEN STOPPED COMPLETELY. VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND A DIFFERENT VEHICLE PROVIDED (SAME MAKE AND MODEL); NOW THREE YEARS AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT WE HAVE THE SAME SITUATION (SAME SITUATION, TWO DIFFERENT VEHICLES, THREE YEARS TIMEFRAME). WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT CORRECTING THE SITUATION WILL COST BETWEEN $2500-3000. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS A PASSENGER WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT WARNED THE PASSENGER THAT THE AIR BAG WAS NOT ON. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT HAD THE SEAT CUSHION REPLACED HOWEVER, THE REPAIR DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING THE MALFUNCTIONING AIR BAG SENSOR. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO ASSIST THE CONTACT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,448.

THE DRIVER'S, PASSENGER'S AND REAR DRIVER'S DOOR LOCKS DO NOT LOCK/UNLOCK PROPERLY. IT BEGAN WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR FAILING TO OPERATE PROPERLY ONCE EVERY 3-4 WEEKS. I HAD THE DOOR HANDLE RECALL WORK COMPLETED IN MARCH 2011 SO I THOUGHT THE REMOTE'S BATTERY WAS WEAK AND REPLACED IT IN DECEMBER 2011. THEN THE MALFUNCTION STARTED TO OCCUR MORE FREQUENTLY. AFTER A FEW MONTHS, THE DRIVER'S DOOR LOCK WOULD NOT UNLOCK FOR ENTRY TO THE CAR OR LOCK ONCE I WAS INSIDE. TO GAIN ENTRY TO THE CAR, I WOULD HAVE TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S REAR DOOR AND REACH FORWARD TO UNLOCK THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. I HAD THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LOCK REPLACED IN MARCH 2012. NOW THE PASSENGER DOOR IS INOPERATIVE AS WELL AS THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. I MUST GET IN THE CAR AND REACH TO LOCK/UNLOCK THE DOORS FROM THE INSIDE. IF EVER QUICK ENTRY OR EXIT FROM THE CAR IS NEEDED, SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE HARMED. A CHILD IN A CAR SEAT, A PERSON WITH LIMITED MOBILITY OR THE ABILITY TO MAKE A QUICK DECISION IS TRAPPED UNLESS I AM ABLE TO QUICKLY REACH TO LOCK/UNLOCK THE DOORS. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN WHO TELLS ME THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THAT THEY WILL GIVE ME A $500 DEALER ASSISTANCE TOWARDS A $1700 BILL FOR A DEFECTIVE SYSTEM. I FOUND ON THE INTERNET OTHER 2009 ROGUE OWNERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. THE MURANO AND THE JUKE HAVE ALSO BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65-70 MPH. CAME TO A SLIGHT LONG INCLINE ON THE HIGHWAY. IT SLOWED TO 60 MILES PER HOUR WITH THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY PUSHED DOWN. WHEN I CAME TO A REST STOP AND TOOK OFF AGAIN-THE ACCELERATION WAS SLOW TO PICK UP SPEED. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I WAS COMING BACK FROM SEATTLE TO SPOKANE, WA GOING UP THE MOUNTAIN PASS. I COULD NOT GO OVER 30 MILES PER HOUR WITH THE ACCELERATOR PUSHED ALL THE WAY DOWN. IT HAPPENED ON ANOTHER HILL FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD. AGAIN WHEN I STOPPED-THEIR WAS A DELAY IN ACCELERATION. SINCE THIS A COMPANY CAR AND HAVE THE OPTION TO PURCHASE IT AT 80,000 MILES- I WILL NOT. BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO BUY IT AND GIVE IT TO MY DAUGHTER SINCE SHE WILL BE TAKING DRIVER'S EDUCATION THIS YEAR. I FEEL THAT THIS CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIALLY FOR A NEW DRIVER. I WILL NOT BE BUYING A NISSAN IN THE FUTURE FOR MY DAUGHTER. OR ANY OTHER NISSAN. I WILL ALSO LET OUR FLEETS DEPARTMENT KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

AT SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST COMING FROM OUT OF A STOP, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS ABLE TO PUSH THE PEDAL HARD TO GET ACCELERATION AND MANAGED TO REGAIN ACCELERATION. ON 7/9/12, WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT STEADY SPEEDS, I BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN TO SLOWING TRAFFIC, WHEN TRAFFIC PICKED UP I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET ACCELERATION OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I PUNCHED THE PEDAL TO THE FLOORBOARD AND GOT NO ACCELERATION WHATSOEVER. THE RPMS WOULD NOT INCREASE THE OVERDRIVE WOULD NOT RESPOND AND WAS JUST COASTING AT 40 MPH. THIS WAS SUCH A RISK AS I HAD FAST COMING TRAFFIC AND HAD TO PULL TO THE SLOW LANE TO NOT BE A HAZARD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY. THE VEHICLE NEVER REGAINED ACCELERATION AND HAD TO KEEP PEDAL PUSHED TO CONTINUE MOVING. I PROCEEDED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT THE INSISTED THAT SINCE THEY RECEIVED NO COMPUTER ERROR CODES OR COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND NOTICED IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO LOTS OF PEOPLE AND COULD BE SEVERAL POSSIBLE ISSUES. IT SEEMS MOST OF THE CAUSES ARE A RESULT OF LONG DISTANCE DRIVING WHICH I DO 4 TIMES A WEEK AND SOMEHOW RESETS UPON TURNING OFF AND TURNING BACK ON VEHICLE OR VEHICLE COOLING DOWN. THE DEALER "COULD NOT" SPARE THE TIME FOR SOMEONE TO DRIVE IT FOR THAT LONG SO THEY LEFT IT AT THAT.. I FEEL THIS IS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD AND HOPE THAT THIS ISSUE CAN BE DEALT WITH THE MANUFACTURER AS A RECALL. *TR

WE HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON, TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY SAID IT WAS NOTHING. WENT ON A TRIP 200 ISH MILES ON THE WAY HOME I HAD TO PASS A CAR AND WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS NOTHING HAPPENED. I WAS LEFT LOOKING AT ON COMING TRAFFIC AND HAD TO MOVE BACK OVER. NO ACCELERATION AT ALL. SCARED WE WERE GOING TO RUIN IT BY DRIVING ANY LONGER I PULLED OVER. WE HAD LUNCH AND TRIED AGAIN ABOUT AN HOUR LATER IT SEEMED FINE. ABOUT 15 MINS INTO THE DRIVE IT DID THE SAME THING. NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT I BELIEVE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE TRANSMISSION. ALSO YESTERDAY IT RAINED AND NOW THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT HAS COME ON. THE CAR IS FAR TO NEW TO HAVE THESE KIND OF PROBLEMS, AND THEY COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS. *TR
