2011 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

The contact owns a 2011 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while her daughter was driving approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact noticed that the vehicle was jerking prior to the failure. The driver depressed the brake pedal but was concerned about the vehicle moving. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified however, no further assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 82,000. The VIN was not available.

Drove home, while attempting to park, (car was in motion) vehicle stalled & steering locked, lights on dash flicked off, radio went off then came back on. This happened 4 times while I attempted to park. Finally parked vehicle successfully & turned car off. This happened several times in recent months but only for a few seconds also on another occasion was unable to turn steering wheel once vehicle was on. Tonight was the worst experience, alarming. I plan to take SUV in for check up tomorrow.

Passenger seat Occupant sensor has failed. Yes, available for inspection. This sensor communicates with the Airbag system. The front passenger airbag is disabled due to the fault. The problem has been reproduced, I have followed the process of resetting the DTC and 2 weeks later the DTC has returned. No inspection beyond owner. Vehicle producing DTC B1018 This relates to the occupant sensor which shuts off the airbag when the seat is occupied by a child or small enough adult. Nissan has had several recalls for this sensor in other models and years of this vehicle. Due to poor design the only repair is replacing the entire passenger seat at a cost of over $2000.

The CVT transmission shuts off for no reason. The engine revs up like crazy but the power convertor does not do its job of transmitting power to the driveshaft. Turns out that the CVT transmission went into shutdown mode for no reason - I was driving downhill, in an empty car, with no load at 65 mph.

AT APPROXIMATELY 90,000 MILES THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG FAILURE WARNING LITES ACTIVATED. THE LITE IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND ON THE DASHBOARD IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER ARE BOTH INVOLVED. i AM TOLD BY THE DEALER (MARK) AT DAYTONA NISSAN, THAT THE CAR IS PROBABLY UNSAFE FOR PASSENGERS.. IN RESEARCHING I FIND THIS IS NOT A NEW PROBLEM, THAT IT HAS BEEN THE CASE FOR SOME YEARS, AND THIS HAPPENS TO PRACTICALLY ALL NISSAN ROGUES AND IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT CALLS FOR SEAT REPLACEMENT TO THE TUNE OF 2 TO 3 GRAND. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SOME YEARS AND IS KNOWN TO THE MFG. THEY CHOOSE TO NOT FIX IT. HOW MANY HAVE TO DIE B4 YOU FOLKS TELL NISSAN TO RECALL.

Im having issues accelerating since i purchased the car, the transmission is bad , there is cut electric wires by the brake and gas pedal. When breaking there's knocking, pinging, the brakes shakes. I almost got into 4 accidents with my family and child. I was told by dealer it was the reg gas i put in the tank but then got carfax history and seen a mechanic and was told transmission is bad the light is on dash. At 25mph the rpm jumps up and down. Gas tank reads incorrectly.

The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 95,000.

The vehicle shakes when I accelerate or go on reverse, I've been told is the transmission, that is causing the problem .

I own a 2011 Nissan Rouge, it has 110k miles in it. We’ve taken care of it since we purchased it in 2015, prompt maintenance (with all receipts) new tires etc. As soon as the car hit 100k miles it started acting “funny”. It would jerk when we drove it, when we reversed it would make a weird noise as well. Took it to auto body shop every time and they couldn’t find anything wrong with it, no error lights on the dashboard either. It only got worse from there, when the second I would stop at a red light the car would turn off, all the dashboard lights on so I would have to turn the key as if I was turning it off and put it on park then turn it back on and turn it on Drive to go. There were a few times that cars came close to hitting me because I was idled at a green light. Then last week on Saturday July 10th, I was coming back home, stopped at a red light, as the light turns green I pushed on the gas pedal, the car wouldn’t move one bit but engine was on. I pulled over to see what was going on, the car wouldn’t drive anymore. Called a tow truck and had it towed to my House as the auto shops were not taking any more appts. On Monday I had it towed and the shop tells me it’s the transmission and quoted me over $4,000. I called Nissan North America after researching that this is a known issue for Rouges and Nissan has been notified by multiple consumers. I was hopeful that they would help me out but waited for the Supervisor to call me back and called me end of day and with non apologetic tells me Nissan can’t do anything about it, that I can take it to a dealership and pay out of pocket because warranty is expired. I explained they have a lot of cases opened because they’re selling cars with bad transmissions and he just asks “is there anything else I can do for sure” totally brushing me off. Buyer beware! Do not buy Rouges. My coworker had a 2012 Nissan Rouge and same issue as soon as it hit 100k miles. My neighbor has a new Rouge and has had issues with transmission
