2011 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

The CVT transmission shuts off unexpectedly and for no reason. I was driving downhill, at 65 mph, in an empty car, with no load and the transmission just went into shutdown. This happened multiple times (more than 5) . I do not trust Nissan to fix it.

The CVT transmission would over heat numerous times on long trips. This would slow me down in traffic or going up hills. Also, when exiting a freeway and stopping merging into traffic was dangerous on numerous occasions due to now coming from the transmission. The Nissan CVT has been recalled, been subject to numerous lawsuits. In fact Nissan has extended the warranty on the Rogue transmission up to the year 2010 and from 2012 but has continuously ignored the 2011 Rogue. I just recently had to have the transmission rebuilt on my 2011 Rogue. If I had known about this earlier I could have taken preventative measures.

The contact owns a 2011 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the contact noticed that the air bag warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed with the passenger’s side seat needing to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The contact was and informed that the VIN was not under recall. There was no further assistance provided. The failure mileage was approximately 16,109. The consumer stated noticed a safety issue because of the disabled flashing airbag warning light on the dashboard while driving at any speed. The vehicle was taken into a local Nissan dealer where it was diagnosed as a faulty OCS (Occupant classification sensor mat passenger seat bottom) which can cause the air bags to improperly deploy. The owner contacted Nissan and filed a complaint but they refused to provide any assistance, but instead said the owner was responsible for this failure which would entail replacing the entire passenger seat at a cost of almost $3,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START-UP. THE VEHICLE WAS JUMP STARTED AFTER 15 MINUTES HOWEVER, THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED TO OPERATE AS DESIGNED. THE CONTACT CALLED AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT CALLED BERMAN NISSAN OF CHICAGO (3456 N. KEDZIE AVE, CHICAGO, IL 60618, (312)778-6228.

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, THE CAR CAUGHT FIRE UNDER THE HOOD NEAR THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT. THE HEADLIGHT WAS REPLACED THE DAY BEFORE THE INCIDENT. THE HEADLIGHT WORKED WHEN INSTALLED BUT WAS NOT WORKING BY THE NEXT EVENING. THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHTS HAVE NEEDED REPLACING MORE OFTEN THAN THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT (A 3:1 RATIO OR A 4:1 RATIO). THAT RATIO MAY INDICATE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. HEADLIGHT BULB WAS A NAPA BP1255/H11LL-N. OUR CAR TOOK AN H11 BULB. THE LL STANDS FOR LONG LIFE.

WHILE DRIVING PERTICULAR IN WARMER WEATHER THE CAR SHAKES THEN SLOWS DOWN WHILE I'M IN HIGH TRAFFIC VERY DANGEROUS THIS HAPPENED TWICE HAD THE CAR ALMOST 2 YEARS THIS JULY WILL BE 2 YEARS I'M VERY SCARED IT DOES THIS AND DON'T HAVE MONEY TO FIX .

THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR OPEN ALARM REMAINS ON AS DOES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS. WE HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY WITHIN THE LAST MONTH. WE HAVE CLEANED ALL THE COMPONENTS OF THE FRONT DOOR HINGES AND LOCKS AND THE ALARM REMAINS ON AS DO THE INTERIOR LIGHTS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED OR MOVING.

2011 NISSAN ROUGE: THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT THAT INDICATES THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS NOT ACTIVE ILLUMINATES WITH AN ADULT SEATING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE RED AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD CLUSTER FLASHES. THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR STATES THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN A CRASH. THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO REPAIR THIS BECAUSE THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. A WEB SEARCH WILL FIND MANY MANY NISSAN CARS WITH THIS PROBLEM. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HURT AND KILLED DUE TO NISSAN CARS FAILURE TO DEPLOY THE AIRBAG. THE CAR IS UNSELLABLE AND UNSAFE. THE GOVERMMENT SHOULD REQUIRE NISSAN TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT COST TO THE CAR OWNER BEFORE MORE PEOPLE ARE HURT AND KILLED.

I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE THAT MOST PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT. VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE AFTER BEING DRIVEN FOR 45 MINUTES OR LONGER. HAPPENED TO ME FOUR TIMES WHILE DRIVING FOR 2 HOURS. ONCE ON THE HIGHWAY AND THREE OTHER TIMES ON A CITY ROAD WITH VEHICLES STUCK BEHIND ME. ONE OF THOSE TIMES I HAD NO WHERE TO PULL OFF AND SAT ON THE ROAD. THIS SHOULD BE A MAJOR CONCERN FOR NISSAN AND THE NHTSA. SOONER OR LATER SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR WORSE. INSTEAD, WE ARE POURING OUR MONEY INTO A VEHICLE WITH NO WAY TO FIX IT. I HAVE ABOUT 100,000 MILES AND KEPT A GOOD JOB OF MAINTENANCE ON THE VEHICLE. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS SITUATION!
