2011 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD FROM OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AS THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,106. UPDATED 6/10/14*CN UPDATED 8/23/2017*CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TURNING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 11565000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

THE TRANSMISSION STARTED CLICKING MID-MARCH 2014. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE IS A 2011 WITH 85,000 MILES - IT SHOULD NOT NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND IS CURRENTLY OUT OF WARRANTY. THE COST OF REPLACEMENT IS $3,000. THE PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS 2003-2010 WARRANTY'S WERE INCREASED TO 10 YEARS 120,000 MILES DUE TO ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. IT APPEARS TO ME THAT THE ISSUE WAS NOT FIXED AND WARRANTY'S AGAIN SHOULD BE EXTENDED FOR OWNERS OF MODEL YEAR 2011 AND BEYOND. NISSAN SHOULD STAND BY THEIR VEHICLES AND REPAIR AND REPLACE WHEN ISSUES ARISE. *TR

HAD BEEN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE FOR 35 MINUTES. EXITED THE OFF RAMP AT A RED LIGHT SO THE VEHICLE WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP. WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED THE ROGUE WOULD NOT GO. I HAD TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND START IT BACK UP. IT SEEMED TO RESET ITSELF. HAD A SIMILAR INCIDENT IN THE SUMMER OF 2013 WHEN IT WAS 90 DEGREES DROVE FOR 90 MILES TRIED TO PASS SOMEONE ON THE INTERSTATE AND COULD NOT GET IT TO GO OVER 50 MPH WHEN THE SPEED LIMIT IS 70. HAD TO PULL OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 65 AND 70 MPH, THE 2011 ROUGE WITHOUT WARNING JUST SHUT DOWN (LOST POWER) PULLED OVER AND SAT THERE FOR 10 MINUTES AND IT STARTED AND RAN FINE. THREE WEEKS LATER, IT HAPPENED WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING IT. IT SHUT DOWN (LOST POWER), PULLED OVER SAT AND THEN RESTARTED THE CAR. NO WARNING LIGHTS, NOT WARNING OF ANY KIND, ALL GAUGES WERE NORMAL. THIS COULD CAUSE ONE TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR EVEN DEATH. I HAVE SEEN WHERE OTHER NISSAN CARS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT, RECALLED FIXED, AND SOON BEFORE IT CAUSES INJURIES. 66,000 MILES IS WHEN IT STARTED HAPPENING. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR ANYWHERE DUE TO THE RISK OF INJURY I AM PUTTING MYSELF AND OTHERS IN. PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT AND DO SOMETHING BEFORE IT IS TO LATE FOR SOMEONE. *TR

WHEN BRAKES WAS APPLIED IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED MOMENTARILY AND BRAKES HAD TO BE DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR AT WHICH POINT THE VEHICLE EASED INTO A STOP IN A VERY UNTIMELY AND UNSAFE MANNER. SOMETIMES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKES HAVE TO BE APPLIED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, THE VEHICLE RESPONDS VERY SLOWLY AS IF THE BRAKES HAD NOT BEEN APPLIED. OTHER TIMES THE VEHICLE STOPS ABRUPTLY AS IF THE BRAKES HAD BEEN APPLIED AGGRESSIVELY. WHILE STOPPED UPWARD FOR ABOUT A MINUTE AT A SLIGHTLY INCLINED HILL AND BEHIND ANOTHER VEHICLE IN ORDER TO OBEY A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE VEHICLE PROPELLED FORWARD AS IF THE BRAKES WAS NOT CURRENTLY APPLIED. THE BRAKES HAD TO BE RE-APPLIED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CURRY NISSAN DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE TO REPORT THE PROBLEM AND SET AN APPOINTMENT FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. ALSO, I INFORMED THE ATTENDANT AT THE DEALER THAT THERE ARE A FEW COMPLAINTS FILED ONLINE THAT WERE ADDRESSING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I EXPERIENCED WITH THE BRAKES OF THE NISSAN ROGUE 2011. THE ATTENDANT RESPONSE WAS THAT NO ONE HAD BROUGHT SUCH PROBLEM TO THEIR ATTENTION. BELOW ARE SOME LINKS TO THE PREVIOUSLY FILED COMPLAINTS.

THE TRANSMISSION DISENGAGED AND THE CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY AND BEGAN OCCURRING APPROXIMATELY 18 MONTHS AGO. IT HAPPENED ALMOST DAILY DURING WARMER WEATHER.

WE WERE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH. CAR BEGAN BUCKING, HAD A HIGH PITCHED WHINING AND LOST ALL POWER IN ACCELERATION, TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. WE IMMEDIATELY DROPPED TO 20 MPH. WE WERE ALMOST REAR-ENDED IN TRAFFIC. HAD TO MOVE TO SHOULDER AND HAVE CAR TOWED. DEALERSHIP GAVE US 800 NUMBER TO CALL NISSAN SINCE THE 2008-2010 MODELS HAVE HAD THE SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. NISSAN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THOSE BUT REFUSED TO EXTEND WARRANTY ON 2011 WHICH HAS THE SAME TRANSMISSION. THE CAR GAVE NO WARNING AT ALL. THIS PROBLEM COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. NISSAN NEEDS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. JUST READ ON EDMUNDS.COM FORUM THAT MANY NISSAN ROGUE OWNERS ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT ANY WARNING. *TR

WHILE GOING BETWEEN 75-80 MPH FOR BETWEEN 100-125 MILES, THE CAR WOULD NOT HARDLY GO, HAD TO SLOW DOWN AND GET OFF THE INTERSTATE, CUT THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES, AND THEN IT SEEMED OKAY, THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE TRAVELING FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME ON THE INTERSTATE AT HIGHER SPEEDS, SOMETHING REALLY NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS, IT STARTED AT 30000 MILES, VERY DANGEROUS! *TR

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.
