2009 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

BOTH FRONT DOORS GOT JAMMED? AND WOULD NOT OPEN. CAR WAS IN NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR ALMOST 2 WEEKS TO FIX. *TR

MARCH 23, 2011 DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE WENT IMMEDIATELY FLAT. UPON INSPECTION, THE PRESSURE SENSING VALVE STEM SEAL FAILED. ONLY ABOUT 1/8 OF THE STEM COULD BE FOUND. THE FAILED SENSOR STEM ALLOWED THE TIRE TO BLOW DOWN INSTANTLY. PICTURES OF THE FAILED STEM, TIRE AND RIM WHERE COLLECTED TO SHOW THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE RIM OR TIRE TO CAUSE THE STEM TO FAIL. TIRE AND RIM WERE TAKEN TO NISSAN DEALER AND STEM WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THANKFULLY IT WAS THE REAR TIRE AND NOT A FRONT TIRE. *TR

I TAKE MY CAR A LOT OF TIMES TO THE DEALER FOR THE TIRES LIGHT SENSOR THEY TURN IT OFF AND ASS SOON I DRIVE THE CAR THE LIGHT COMES OUT AGAIN THAT HAPPENED LIKE 5 TIMES TILL THEY SAY THE CAR HAS A RECALL......

3RD FAILURE - SAME PROBLEM WITH 2009 NISSAN ROGUE 4CYL W/CVT. CAR LOSES POWER - WHEN STEPPING ON GAS, CAR ONLY CREEPS FORWARD, ACCELERATING VERY SLOWLY AS IF IT'S NOT GETTING GAS OR AS IF YOU ARE STARTING OFF IN A HIGH GEAR. ATTEMPTS TO MANUALLY DOWNSHIFT HAVE NO EFFECT; SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL ALLOWS ENGINE TO REV FREELY. LAST TWO INCIDENTS OCCURRED WITH WIFE AND 2 YOUNG CHILDREN IN CAR ON BUSY ROAD - VERY HIGH SAFETY RISK AS THE PROBLEM OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING, LEAVING THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY NEARLY POWERLESS IN TRAFFIC. FIRST TRIP TO DEALER (PROBLEM WAS LESS SEVERE/FREQUENT FIRST TIME) PROMPTED SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO "FIX" UNDER AN OPEN TRANSMISSION-RELATED SERVICE CAMPAIGN, THE DESCRIPTION OF WHICH DID NOT FIT THE PROBLEM, BUT THE CAR WORKED PROPERLY UPON RECEIPT. PROBLEM RETURNED A MONTH LATER WITH GREATER SEVERITY - CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. CAR WAS IN SHOP FOR A WEEK AS NECESSARY PART WAS ON BACKORDER - "THIS IS A PROBLEM WE'VE BEEN SEEING LATELY," WE WERE TOLD. UPON RETURN CAR NEVER FELT FULLY LIKE IT DID WHEN NEW - WOULD OFTEN HESITATE SLIGHTLY WHEN GOING UP A GRADE BEFORE PICKUP RETURNED. DEALER "UNABLE TO REPRODUCE" THIS VERY FREQUENT PROBLEM WHEN BROUGHT IN FOR REVIEW, SO WE JUST LIVED WITH IT. THIRD INCIDENT OCCURRED LAST WEEK WITH HIGH SEVERITY, AGAIN, PUTTING WIFE/CHILDREN AT RISK IMMEDIATELY AFTER PULLING ONTO A BUSY MAIN ROAD. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE INCIDENT. CAR IS NOW AT DEALER FOR FURTHER EVALUATION. CAR IS ON LEASE; REQUESTS THUS FAR TO BE RELEASED FROM REMAINDER OF TERM BASED ON RECURRING SAFETY CONCERNS HAVE BEEN DENIED. CAR HAS 12K MILES ON IT AT 2 YEARS IN OUR POSSESSION, HAS BEEN FULLY MAINTAINED ACCORDING TO OWNER'S MANUAL AND IS IN EXCELLENT OVERALL SHAPE. I AM UNCOMFORTABLE PUTTING MY FAMILY IN THIS VEHICLE AGAIN GIVEN THE RECURRING FAILURE AND TYPE OF FAILURE.

TAKING A ROAD TRIP WHEN A ROCK OR OTHER OBJECT PUNCTURED MY CONDENSER. DEALER SAYS IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND CAR IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD. IT COMES WITH A HEFTY PRICE TAG OF $750. HOW OFTEN CAN I EXPECT TO PAY TO HAVE MY CONDENSER FIXED FROM FLYING OBJECTS? CAR IS A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE. *TR

2009 NISSAN ROGUE STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT 35MPH ON A FRIDAY AFTERNOON WITH NO SIGNS OF INCIDENTS BEFOREHAND TRIED TO RESTART A LEAST 10 TIMES CAR WOULD START RUN FOR A FEW SECONDS AND STALL. HAD CAR TOWED TO NISSAN DEALER, WHERE IT WAS CHECKED MONDAY MORNING NISSAN SERVICE COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG AND THERE WERE NO CODES STORED SO WAS RETURNED TO ME WITH NO WORK DONE EXCEPT ROAD TEST.. I FEEL THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, AND AM FAIRLY SURE WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. CARS DO NOT JUST STALL WITH OUT THERE BEING SOME TYPE OF PROBLEM... DANGEROUS SITUATION... *TR
