2008 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

THE TRACTION LIGHT BLINKS ON AND OFF RANDOMLY AND THE CAR SLIPS/JERKS ON ANY TURNS. ALSO AWD AUTOMATICALLY COMES ON WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WITHOUT ANY INCLEMENT WEATHER OR BAD ROADS PRESENT.

PASSANGERS'S SEAT BELT LIGHT ON. TRANSMISSION SLIPPING WHILE IN MOVING FORWARD

THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR DOES NOT RECOGNIZE AN ADULT SITTING IN THE SEAT. THIS LOOKS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR ROGUE. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT NOT FOR MY VIN SEATBELT DOES NOT REGISTER AS BEING SECURE LEAVING SEATBELT LIGHT ON IN CAR.

STARTED VEHICLE AND DROVE WELL. STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION AND WHEN IT WAS MY TURN TO GO CAR RPMS WERE HIGH BUT CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. THE LIGHT CHANGE AND I FOUND MYSELF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION AND CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I TOOK MY FOOT OF GAS AND THEN IT JUST SPED UP AND I HAD TO USE THE BREAKS TO MAKE IT SLOW DOWN. ALSO IT WOULD SLOWDOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WHICH IS DANGEROUS CAUSE SPEED LIMIT WAS 70MPH AND I COULDN'T MOVE THE CAR TO GET IT OUT OF THE WAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VDC AND TRACTION CONTROL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. ONCE RESTARTED, THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. ALSO, WHILE MAKING TURNS, THE STEERING WHEEL MADE A STRANGE SOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FAULKNER NISSAN OF HARRISBURG (3925 PAXTON ST, HARRISBURG, PA 17111, 717-558-8220) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRONIC COUPLING FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 36672455. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

FRONT EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE DOES NOT WORK FROM COLD FROST WEATHER. VEHICLE WAS PARKED. SAME PROBLEM FROM PREVIOUS RECALL IN 2014.

BOUGHT CAR IN 2012 WITH 64,000 MILES. IN OCTOBER OF 2017 , WITH 121,000 MILES NOTICED A GRINDING NOISE WHEN TAKING OFF TOOK TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP , WAS INFORMED THAT TRANSMISSION WAS BAD. REPLACED TRANSMISSION FOR $3700. IN JUNE OF 2019 WITH 138,000 MILES STARTED HAVING A VIBRATION IN THE FRONT WHEN TAKING OFF IN BETWEEN 1500 AND 2500 RPM WAS TOLD THAT TRANSMISSION WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED IN THE INSIDE, THE PUMP WAS NOT WORKING AND METAL SHAVINGS. I AM WITHOUT A JOB AND HAD TO TAKE MY SEVERANCE PAY TO PAY $4,107 TO REPLACE ANOTHER TRANSMISSION. THAT DID NOT INCLUDE THE RIGHT TIE ROD THAT I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO REPLACE WHICH SEEMS TO GO OUT EVERY YEAR. FIXING BOTH LOWER CONTROL ARMS AND THE REAR SUSPENSION AT OVER $1200.00 THE WEEK BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION. THIS CAR IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF OIL CHANGES EVERY 3,000 MILES AND CONSTANT UPKEEP.

TODAY I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING A STEADY SPEED OF ABOUT 70 MPH FOR ABOUT 30-40 CONSECUTIVE MINUTES. MY 2008 NISSAN ROGUE SL BEGAN TO DECELERATE SLOWLY. I BEGAN TO PRESS GRADUALLY ON THE GAS PEDAL. AS I DID THIS, THE CAR MADE A WEIRD SOUND AS IF IT WAS TRYING TO SHUT OFF. AT THIS POINT MY FOOT WAS PRESSED TO THE FLOOR ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CARS RPM WAS GOING AS HIGH AS 4000 BUT THE CAR ITSELF WAS NOT ACCELERATING OVER 50 MPH. ALL OF THIS HAPPENING WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 6:30 PM. I COULD HAVE EASILY GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPEN EITHER. A FEW TIMES I HAVE BEEN AT A COMPLETE STOP AT A RED LIGHT OR COMING OFF OF THE HIGHWAY RAMP AND THE CAR WILL TAKE 10-15 SECONDS TO ACCELERATE AND TAKE OFF! THIS IS SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS BUT CAN ALSO BE QUITE ANNOYING FOR THE CAR BEHIND ME. ALL THIS HAPPENING WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS ON MY DASH, I HAVE GOTTEN THE CAR CHECKED OUT BUT TO NO AVAIL NO CODES ARE COMING UP AND MY CAR SEEMS TO BE FINE. I HONESTLY BELIEVE THIS IS A GLITCH IN THE SOFTWARE OR SYSTEM. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ON MULITPLE DIFFERENT FORUMS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE ON THE SAME MAKE, YEAR AND MODEL! I HONESTLY BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND HOPE THAT ONE OF YOUR TECHNICIANS SERIOUSLY LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT!

AIR BAG INDICATOR ON DASH FLASHING. FAULT INDICATES THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT HAS A FAULTY SEAT CUSHION SENSOR. DEALER STATED THAT OWNER HAS TO PAY $2,000 TO REPAIR. IN THE MEAN TIME ANY PASSENGER RIDING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT DOES NOT HAVE AIRBAG PROTECTION. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY NISSAN IS NOT REQUIRED TO REPAIR SAFETY ISSUES?

I PURCHASED A CAR TWO YEARS AGO 2016 I HAD TO PURCHASE A TOUR CONVERTER FOR $3500 REGULATOR I NEED A TRANSMISSION FOR $2500 I'M ON A FIXED INCOME AND I DON'T HAVE THIS KIND OF MONEY TO PUT OUT.
