2011 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

TWO MONTHS PRIOR TO BURN OUT, VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR CVT FLUID FLUSH. WAS NOT AWARE OF RECALL UNTIL AFTER INCIDENT OCCURRED, AFTER CONTACTING NNA. ALSO WAS EXPERIENCING LOSS OF POWER WHEN DRIVING UP HILLS OR SPEEDS ABOVE 70 MPH. I MENTIONED TO DEALERSHIP, THEY ADVISED TO GET CVT TRANNY FLUID FLUSHED AND REFILLED. RECALL WAS NEVER ADDRESSED TO ME AT PREVIOUS NISSAN SERVICE VISITS. NNA HAS DENIED "PRODUCT LIABILITY." MY SISTER AND I WERE FORTUNATE TO MAKE IT OUT OF A FLAMING, ROLLING FIREBALL. FIREFIGHTERS PINPOINTED EXPLOSION AND FIRE TO POWER STEERING ELECTRIC CONTROL. VEHICLE IS A TOTAL LOSS AND INCIDENT IS YET TO BE INVESTIGATED, INSURANCE CURRENTLY IN BEGINNING PHASES. BE CAREFUL IN THE ROGUES PEOPLE!! *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH UP AN INCLINE, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO VERY LOW SPEEDS.

I HAD BEEN DRIVING APPROXIMATELY AN HOUR IN 90 DEGREE WEATHER ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 65 MPH WHEN MY NISSAN ROGUE LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. WITH THE ACCELERATION PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND EVENTUALLY STOPPED ALTOGETHER, CAUSING ME TO ATTEMPT MANEUVERING AROUND CARS GOING OVER 70 MPH TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I WAS ALMOST STRUCK TWICE. AFTER 20 MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AGAIN AND DRIVE AT 40MPH TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD TODAY IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AND IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED COSTING ME $1000. PREVIOUS MODELS OF THE ROGUE THROUGH 2010 HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OFFERED FOR THIS ISSUE THROUGH 120,000 BUT MINE IS A 2011 AND I WAS TOLD I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF. I HAVE CONTACTED 1-800-NISSAN1 AND FILED A COMPLAINT. THIS IS INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING AND DANGEROUS. *TR

HALF WAY INTO PARKING SPOT WITH FOOT ON BRAKE PAD THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AT A HIGH RATE AND SMASHED INTO A LIGHT POLE DENTING THE FRONT (PASSENGER SIDE) END AS WELL AS BOTH FRONT SIDES. HARD ENOUGH TO MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO OPEN BOTH FRONT DOORS. TOTAL TRAVEL LENGTH APPROXIMATE 5 -6 FEET. IF NEEDED I WILL SUBMIT PHOTOS OF DAMAGE & INJURY I HAD MY ENTIRE LOW ABDOMEN COMPLETELY BLACK AND BLUE, SWOLLEN AS WELL AS MY RIGHT KNEE & BREAST BRUISED. THE DAMAGE WAS DEEMED BY GEICO INSPECTORS AS A TOTAL LOSS. I CONTACTED NISSAN VERBAL AND WRITING INCLUDING PICTURES OF THE CAR AND MY INJURIES. PROVIDED ALL THE INFORMATION REQUESTED BY NISSAN REP. AND NEVER HEARD FROM NISSAN THAN AGAIN. NOT EVEN A SORRY!!

FROM STOP TO TRYING TO CROSS A INTERSECTION VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING. IF ANOTHER CAR WAS COMING A LOSS OF ACCELERATION CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINT FOR THE SAME ISSUE POSTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET. FROM 2008 TO 2013 MODELS. IT SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE AND NO RECALL YET. I HOPE THEY DO NOT WAIT UNTIL A DEATH OCCURS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY DECELERATED. THE VEHICLE ALSO FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE DEALER STATED THE ENGINE WAS CONSUMING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF TRANSMISSION FLUID CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SHIFT INTO FAIL SAFE MODE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION DIP STICK METER AND REDUCED THE TRANSMISSION LEVEL. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

THIS IS THE SITUATION THAT HAPPENED WITH MY VEHICAL TOO, THE BELOW STATEMENT IS ANOTHER PERSONS COMPLAINT AS WELL AS MINE. I HAVE A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE BUT MY TRANSMISSION WAS INSTALLED IN OCT 2010, I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUES THAT ARE HAPPENING WITH THE 2010 RECALL . THEY ARE GETTING THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND I FEEL THAT THE 2011 SHOULD GET THE SAME EXTENDED WARRANTY SUMMARY: THE 2011 ROGUE IS THE CAR WE USE FOR LONGER TRIPS WHEN WE'RE NOT FLYING. ABOUT TWO HOURS INTO A LONG INTERSTATE TRIP IN MAY 2013 WE STARTED TO HEAR A HIGH PITCHED WHINE FROM THE TRANSMISSION WHENEVER WE WOULD ACCELERATE TO GO UPHILL OR PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. SHORTLY AFTER WE STARTED HEARING THAT NOISE THE TRANSMISSION WAS UNABLE TO "DOWNSHIFT" (TECHNICALLY CVTS DON'T DOWNSHIFT) AND WE LOST POWER. WE COULD STILL MAINTAIN A REASONABLE SPEED ON LEVEL TERRAIN, BUT WE WERE BARELY ABLE TO MAINTAIN SPEED GOING OVER SMALL HILLS. WE WOULD HAVE OUR FOOT PLANTED ON THE ACCELERATOR BUT NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN, ACCELERATION WISE. ONCE WE'D STOP, TURN THE CAR OFF, WAIT A FEW MINUTES, THEN START THE CAR AND GET BACK TO DRIVING, EVERYTHING WOULD BE FINE. BUT AFTER A WHILE OF EXTENDED DRIVING THE PROBLEM WOULD RETURN. THIS ISSUE HAS SHOWN UP A FEW TIME SINCE THEN BUT ALWAYS DURING EXTENDED DRIVING SESSIONS AND NEVER ON THE DAY-TO-DAY SHORT COMMUTES, WHICH HAS MADE IT FRUSTRATING TO TRACK. IN DOING A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH WE FOUND MANY OTHER ROGUE OWNERS DESCRIBING OUR EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS, AND EVEN SOMEONE THAT POSTED A YOUTUBE VIDEO DURING THEIR PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL GAUGE SHOWS ONLY 1/4 TANK AFTER FULL UP. EVENTUALLY SHOWS FULL AFTER ABOUT 50 MILES, THEN STAYS AT FULL FOR APPROXIMATELY 100 MILES BEFORE IT SHOWS ANY FUEL USED. *TR
