2011 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

THIS INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED TWICE IN EXACTLY THE SAME MANNER: I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT; WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED, AND I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR, THERE WAS NO RESPONSE AS THE CAR ROLLED INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. I PUSHED SEVERAL TIMES AS TRAFFIC WAITED BEHIND ME. SUDDENLY IT "CAUGHT," THE POWER RETURNED, AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE (THE ENGINE DID NOT REV WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS PRESSED). LIKE OTHERS, I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED (AS ARE THOSE WHO COMMUTE WITH ME), ABOUT BEING CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION AND HIT BROAD-SIDED. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE ALSO HAS A PROBLEM WITH A BLINKING AIR-BAG WARNING LIGHT (BEGAN IN OCT.) WHICH WE TRIED TO HAVE FIXED AT THE SAME TIME. THE DEALERSHIP RESET IT, BUT UPON DRIVING OUT THE OF THE LOT, IT BEGAN BLINKING AGAIN. WE WERE TOLD IT WAS A "POSSIBLE INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH AIR BAG MODULE OR SPIRAL CABLE," AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR WHICH HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED YET. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING DOWN I-95 WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AT A SPEED OF 75 -78 MPH FROM MARYLAND TO GEORGIA, SOMEWHERE ALONG NORTH CAROLINA MY ENGINE STARTED TO LOOSE ACCELERATION. IT DID NOT DIE OUT. I HAD TO PULL OVER BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT GO OVER 60 MPH WITH THE GAS PEDDLE PRESS ALL THE WAY DOWN. ONCE I TURN THE ROUGE OFF AND WAITED ABOUT 5 MINUTES I HEARD A CLICK AND STARTED IT VEHICLE UP AND DROVE WITH NO PROBLEMS UNTIL I WAS ABOUT A 100 MILES FROM GEORGIA AND HAD TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN. THERE WAS NO CODES LIGHTS AND I STILL PUT A READER ON IT AND NOTHING SHOWED UP. IT HAS BEEN PUZZLING IF YOU ACCELERATE FOR TO LONG AND THE VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN IN TRAFFIC. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED NUMEROUS TIMES AND THE FAILSAFE MODE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. ALSO, THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATED ONCE CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID TO LEAK. THE DEALER TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE BUT WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000.

WHILE STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION THE CAR WOULD BARLEY MOVE WITH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, I HAD MY 4 YEAR OLD CHILD WITH ME AND TRAFFIC HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO LET ME ON THE ROAD, THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND THE CAR ONLY HAS 56,000 MILES ON IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE AND SPEED HAS DECREASED WITH THE PEDAL PUSHED TO THE FLOOR AND VEHICLES HAD TO SWERVE TO GET AROUND ME. *TR

I WAS ON A TRIP TO SAN DIEGO (VIA THE 5 FWY) ON SATURDAY AND WHEN I AM ABOUT 1 1/2 HOUR INTO MY TRIP AND STARTED TO GO UP AN INCLINE THE CAR REFUSED TO ACCELERATE (THE PEDAL WAS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THIS WAS QUITE SCARY SINCE THERE WERE NUMEROUS CARS AND TRUCKS BEHIND ME. I SLOWLY MADE MY WAY OVER TO THE SHOULDER IN ORDER TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR I WAS ONLY ABLE TO ACCELERATE TO 20 MPH TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY. I EVEN TRIED PUTTING THE CAR INTO LOW GEAR AND TURNING OD ON AND OFF BUT THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND AT ALL. I THEN PULLER OVER FOR ABOUT 1/2 HOUR THEN RESTARTED THE CAR. NOW IT WAS RESPONDING TO ACCELERATION BUT THE RESPONSE WAD INTERMITTENTLY. THE CAR WASN'T DRIVING NORMAL AT ALL. THEN I FINALLY MADE IT TO MY DESTINATION WHERE THE CAR THEN SET FOR SEVERAL HOURS. WHEN I LEFT TO RETURN HOME THE CAR RETURNED TO ITS NORMAL BEHAVIOR RESPONSE. *TR

COMING HOME FROM LONG (06/2013) TRIP; HIGH VOLUME TRAFFIC HIGHWAY CAR STARTED VIBRATING & WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS. IT WOULD NOT PICK UP SPEED AND IT SLOWED DOWN, STALLING DRASTICALLY & PULLED ASIDE TO TURNED CAR OFF AND LET THE CAR COOL BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON. THE WINDOWS AND RADIO WOULD WORK BUT THE ENGINE WOULD STALL AND NOT TURN ON. WAITED 20 MIN THE CAR TURNED ON AGAIN. REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO NISSAN SERVICE & THEY STATED THE BRAKE SWITCH NEED REPLACEMENT; WAS REPLACED. ON (11/13) & COMING HOME THE ISSUED STARTED AGAIN. THE ENGINE VIBRATED, STALLED, & NOT ACCELERATE. REPORTED TO NISSAN SERVICE AND THEY FOUND NO ISSUES. THIRD, TIME 07/2014 SAME ISSUE SERVICE LOOKED AT THE CAR; FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN STATING 08-12 ROGUES HAVE CVT FAILURE WHEN DRIVING 65 MPH AND HIGHER, TEMP OF 96 DEGREE OR HIGHER; CLIMBING STEEP OR EXTENDED HILLS FOR 6 OR MORE MILES, & WHINE OR RATTLE NOISE REDUCING ENGINE PERFORMANCE. TOLD THE PART WOULD BE ORDERED; AFTER 2 WEEKS SERVICE STATED PART IS BACK ORDER AND NOT SURE WHEN WILL BE IN. I REPORTED TO CORP & THEY STATED THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE DUE TO BACK ORDER TIL THE END OF SEPTEMBER 2014. TOLD NISSAN I FEAR FOR MY LIFE & FAMILY WHEN TAKING LONG DRIVES & BEEN RENTING CAR; IF THEY WOULD REIMBURSE OR PROVIDE ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE THE PART COMES IN THEY STATED NO THEY DO NOT REIMBURSE OR PROVIDE RENTAL. HOW CAN NISSAN KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND RISK THE LIVES OF FAMILY. ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMETHING MASSIVE AND DANGEROUS TO HAPPEN BEFORE THEY TAKE ACTION! I AM PAYING FOR A UNSAFE CARE WHILE NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM & IS NOT TAKING PROPER ACTION.WE HAVE DAILY RESPONSIBILITY TO DO & DRIVING UNSAFE CAR IS SCARY! NISSAN FAST TO CALL OF PAYMENTS A MISS ONE BUT THEY ARE NOT FAST TO FIX THIS DANGEROUS ISSUES! PEOPLE WHO HAVE ROGUES NEEDS TO BE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM & NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL THIS PART. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2013 USED WITH 38000 MILES AFTER ABOUT 60000 MILES I NOTICED THAT AT A STOP LIGHT IT WOULD NOT GO WHEN I ACCELERATED AND AFTER A FEW SECONDS IT WOULD GO, THIS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES. THERE WAS NO WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE SO I PURCHASED A EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE NEXT INCIDENT WAS WHEN I WAS DRIVING ALL OF A SUDDEN THE RPM'S STARTED GOING REAL HIGH AND THEN THE CAR SLOWLY LOST POWE,R AT THIS TIME I HAD ABOUT 2000 MILES LEFT ON MY WARRANTY TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP WHERE THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG . I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WHICH BY NOW THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. THE CAR WAS GETTING TO THE POINT THAT WHEN IT HAPPENED I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO WAIT AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT WOULD GAIN POWER AGAIN, I THEN TOOK IT TO NISSAN WHERE THE TOLD ME IT WAS MY TRANSMISSION, I TOOK IT FOR A SECOND OPINION WHERE THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION WHICH THEY SAY IS CRAZING FOR AS LITTLE MILES AND BEING A SOME WHAT NEW CAR. IT COST ME 2600.00 COMPARED TO NISSAN WHICH WANTED 3800.00. THE PROBLEM I HAD WAS THAT I DRIVE ABOUT 84 MILES FROM HOME TO WORK AND IT STARED TO GET WHERE I COULDN'T TRUST THAT CAR. FROM WHAT I READ AND WAS TOLD FROM NISSAN IS THAT THE ALTAMA HAS VERY SIMILAR PROBLEMS TO WHERE THE SEE A CAR A DAY WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WHICH IS NOT RIGHT, WHY SHOULD WE CONSUMERS GET STUCK WITH COSTLY REPAIRS ON A FAIRLY NEW VEHICLE. MY CAR NEVER HAD A ENGINE LIGHT THAT CAME ON THEY ONLY WAY I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG IS WHEN THE RPM'S WENT REAL HIGH. *TR

VEHICLE WAS ON THE INTERSTATE( GOING HOME AFTER FAMILY VACATION) GOING 70 MPH WHEN WITHOUT WARNING THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, IN FACT THE CAR DROPPED DOWN SPEED RAPIDLY. AGAIN WITHOUT WARNING WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF FAST MOVING TRAFFIC AND COULD NOT GAIN SPEED. EVENTUALLY PULLING OVER, LETTING THE TRANSMISSION COOL OFF. THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CARS CVT TRANSMISSION AND ONCE IT OVERHEATS IT PUTS ITSELF INTO " LIMP MODE" SO IT DOESN'T KILL ITSELF?THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL THIS PART. I SPOKE TOT HE SERVICE TECHNICIAN AND HE SAYS THAT I NEED TO BRING IT IN TO DIAGNOSE IT EVEN THOUGH HE IS ABOUT 99% SURE THAT THIS IS THE PROBLEM AND THAT NISSAN WILL PAY TO FIX IT ( I THINK BY PUTTING IN A COOLER OR REPLACING THE TRANS) BUT THAT THERE ARE 15 VEHICLES AHEAD OF ME AT THE CURRENT MOMENT AND THE PARTS ARE BACKORDERED AT LEAST FOR 3 WEEKS. NISSAN FURTHER GOES TO SAY THAT A RENTAL CAR IS NOT AN OPTION?HOW IS THIS A CONSUMERS FAULT? HOW CAN NISSAN GET AWAY WITH THIS? I LIVE IN THE MOUNTAINS AND I CANNOT DRIVE THIS CAR AND BECAUSE NISSAN IS BACKED UP ON MAKING PARTS TO MAKE THEIR CARS WORK, THAT BECOMES MY PROBLEM? I HAVE ASKED FOR A REGIONAL SPECIALIST AND HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER BUT HAVE YET TO TALK TO ANYONE AND THIS IS NOW GOING ON FOUR DAYS. MEANWHILE I HAVE AN UNSAFE CAR THAT I CANNOT DRIVE AND PAY MONEY FOR EVERY MONTH. THIS PART NEEDS TO BE RECALLED SO OTHERS ARE INFORMED AND NO ONE IS CAUGHT OFF GUARD WHEN YOUR CAR SUDDENLY DOESN'T GO. *TR

WAS DRIVING MY 2011 ROUGE HOME ON A 120 MILE TRIP ON THE INTERSTATE AND AFTER ABOUT AND HOUR OF DRIVING THE CALL SUDDENLY REFUSED TO ACCELERATE PAST 3000 RPM. THERE WAS ABOUT 20 MILES BETWEEN EXISTS AND THIS BECAME A SAFETY CONCERN WHILE TRYING TO CLIMB AN INCLINE; THE CAR DECELERATED FROM 70 MPH TO 45 MPH AND I COULD NOT DO ENOUGH TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF OTHER TRAFFIC. AFTER 15 MILES OR SO OF DRIVING, IT RETURNED TO NORMAL. IT HAS SINCE OCCURRED 3 MORE TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE FOR TRIPS OVER AN HOUR. I TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP ON 4/21/14 AND WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE NO CODES WERE PRODUCED. *TR
