2008 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

ON MY 2008 NISSAN ROGUE MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY COMING ON. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS JUST FOR THEM TO TELL ME THE WERE NO "CODES" AND THAT THEY JUST RESET IT. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY SAY THE ONLY DOCUMENTED OCCURRENCE IS THE LAST ONE FROM LAST WEEK BECAUSE IT WENT TOT HE SERVICE DEPARTMENT RATHER THAN THE BODY SHOP (MY CAR WAS IN AN ACCIDENT EARLY LAST YEAR BUT THE TIRE PRESSURE IS UNRELATED TO THAT.) NISSAN HAS ADVISED ME TO TAKE THE ROGUE IN YET AGAIN TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTICS DONE. WHEN I ASKED WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY JUST RESET AND THE LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN WHAT WILL I DO? JUST KEEP GOING BACK TO THE SHOP? SHE SAID SHE COULDN'T HELP ME ANY FURTHER ALL SHE COULD TELL ME TO DO IS TAKE IT BACK TO THE SHOP. *TR

ON THE EARLY MORNING OF 12/31/09, THE CAR I WAS DRIVING IS A NISSAN ROGUE 2008.I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN FROM BRADDOCK RD TO DANBURY FOREST DR, I LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL. IT KEPT GOING AROUND AND FORTUNATELY, THE CARS COMING FROM THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD WERE ABLE TO USE THEIR BRAKES AND AVOID A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. AT THAT TIME I THOUGHT IT WAS AN ICE ON THE GROUND. LATER ON, 01/01/10, DRIVING ON ROUTE 50 AND MAKING A LEFT TURN ONTO ANNANDALE RD. ONCE AGAIN, I LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL. I TRIED TO MAKE A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL I TRIED TO TAKE THE CAR OFF OF THE ROAD TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. AT THAT TIME, THE CARS WERE PASSING BY. ON FRIDAY EARLY MORNING, THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE SHEEHY NISSAN DEALER WHICH IS LOCATED AT 6727 LOISDALE RD. SPRINGFIELD, VA. 22150. ON SATURDAY MORNING, I WENT TO REPORT THE INCIDENT. LATER ON OF THE SAME DAY, THE MECHANIC CALLED TO INFORMED THAT A PART OF THE STEERING WAS BROKEN AND THEY WILL BE ORDERING AND FIX IT BY WEDNESDAY. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS CAR. IT IS NEW AND MANY PARTS OF IT ARE CONTINUALLY FALLING . IF I'M ALIVE IT IS NOT BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY OF THE CAR. IT IS A MIRACLE. THIS TWO INCIDENTS, ARE NOT THE FIRST WITH THIS TYPE OF CAR. APPROXIMATELY, TWO MONTHS AGO, I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE SHIFT STICK GOT STUCK AND IT STARTER MAKING A LOUD NOISE EVERY TIME I WAITED TO TURN EITHER SIDE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE SAME DEALER AND THE MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WAS A BOOT FROM THE SHIFT STICK THAT GOT LOOSE. I'M REPORTING THIS INCIDENT BECAUSE KNOW I REALIZED THAT DRIVING A NISSAN ROGUE IS DRIVING STRAIGHT TO THE GRAVE. NOT BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL YOUR CAR ON THE HIGHWAYS OR THE STREETS, IT TURNS INTO A KILLER MACHINERY NOT JUST FOR THE DRIVER, BUT ALSO FOR THE COMMUNITY. IT IS A CAR THAT IS CONSTANTLY BRAKING PIECES OR FALLING IN PARTS. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE REMOVED FROM THE STREETS. *TR

STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES BETWEEN 32 AND 40 MPH (DUE TO CVT TRANSMISSION) AFFECTING STEERING ABILITY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH SHE HEARD A GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT-END OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPAIRED AS A FREE REMEDY. THE CONTACT WAS IN THE PROCESS OF CONTACTING THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 12,000. UPDATED 10/21/09. *LJ UPDATED 10/20/09

2008 NISSAN ROGUE, SL AWD TRANSMISSION IS VERY SLUGGISH TO ACCELERATE BETWEEN 20 - 40MPH, ESPECIALLY WHEN ENTERING A HIGHWAY FROM ON RAMP. IT DOES NOT SEEM TO SHIFT UNLESS YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS A LITTLE, THEN RMP'S GO DOWN AND THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE PURCHASING MY VEHICLE IN MARCH 2009 . SINCE THIS CAR HAS A CVT TRANSMISSION, YOU DON'T HEAR OR FEEL GEAR SHIFTS. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE SLOW ACCELERATION WAS NORMAL FOR THAT VEHICLE'S CVT TRANSMISSION. I BELIEVE IT IS DANGEROUS AS THERE IS NO PREDICTABILITY WHEN IT WILL OR WON'T ACCELERATE AS NECESSARY WHEN MERGING ONTO HIGH SPEED HIGHWAYS. DANGER FROM BEING REAR ENDED IS HIGH . THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY NISSAN. *TR

THE ACCELERATION IS VERY DELAYED FROM PRESSING ON THE GAS. SOMETIMES WE HAVE HAD TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION TO GET IT TO RESPOND. IT HAPPENS ABOUT EVERY 2 TO 3 DAYS AND WILL LAST THROUGHOUT THE DRIVE. IT IS STILL DRIVABLE, BUT IS VERY DANGEROUS. ESPECIALLY WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. WE HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIME ALREADY. THE FIRST TWO THEY COULD NOT FIX IT, THE THIRD THEY THOUGHT THEY FOUND AND FIXED THE PROBLEM, BUT 4 DAYS AFTER THAT IT STARTED TO HAPPEN AGAIN. THE CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

MY FAMILY BARELY AVOIDED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. WHILE TRAVELING FROM SAN ANTONIO TO AUSTIN, THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT TIRE "EXPLODED" (HAVE SOME PHOTOS TO SHOW THE DAMAGE). THE VEHICLE IS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE, REGULAR MAINTENANCE PROVIDED, AND THERE WAS NO CONSTRUCTION ON THE ROAD WAY. THE TIRE "EXPLODED" AND HAS BIG HOLES ON THE WALLS ON THREE SEPARATE LOCATIONS. THE FOLLOWING IS THE TIRE'S INFORMATION: 4X4 CONTACT CONTINENTAL P225160R17 98H M+S 3AK4807 P225/60R17 98H M+S TUBELESS RADIAL E7600L -10 DO YOU HAVE AN EMAIL ADDRESS I CAN SEND THE PHOTOS TO? THANK YOU *TR

I PURCHASED A NEW NISSAN ROGUE AND WITHIN 3500 MILES IT BEGAN TO MAKE NOISE. SECOND VISIT TO MECHANIC AT ABOUT 8000 MILES CONFIRMED THAT CAR NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. AFTER 3500 MILES ON THE NEW NEW TRANSMISSION, NOISE RETURNED AND NISSAN HAS AUTHORIZED A SECOND REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION. *TR

CLUNK NOISE WHENIN REVERSE, FELT POP IN THE FLOOR IN THE BACK SEAT AREA. HAPPENS ONLY AT TIMES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH ON AN ICE COVERED ROAD, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO AVOID REAR ENDING THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. SHE CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED MAJOR FRONT END DAMAGE. THE RADIATOR WAS PUNCTURED AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 12,500.
