2008 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

CURRENT RECALL ON 2008 NISSAN ROUGE FOR SEAT SENSOR AFFECTING AIRBAG. HAD VEHICLE DIAGNOSED WITH A NISSAN DEALER USA. OCCUPANT SEAT SENSOR FAILURE. WAS TOLD THAT THE VIN WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE CURRENT RECALL AND REPAIR WOULD COST OVER $2000 OUT OF MY POCKET.

VEHICLE RUNS O K AT FIRST, AFTER 6 OR 7 STOPS AT LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS OR FOR OTHER REASONS, WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS THERE IS NO RESPONSE, THE ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING, BUT THE CAR WONT GO, SOMETIMES IT WILL HESITATE AND THEN TAKE OFF QUICKLY, WHICH IS ALSO DANGEROUS.

AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHING, ONE LONG FOLLOWED BY 5 SHORT BLINKS, INDICATING A DEFECTIVE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR. IT FLASHES CONTINUOUSLY WHILE THE CAR IS TURNED ON. IT HAS BEEN RESET AND ASSESED BY THE DEALER. OTHER 2008 NISSAN ROGUES HAVE BEEN RECALLED BY MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED.

OPENED MY CAR, STARTED THE CAR, COULD NOT GET OUT OF MY CAR. THE DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN. HAD TO GET OUT THROUGH THE TRUNK AREA. TRIED TO OPEN/CLOSE THE CAR DOOR WITH THE KEY, THE CAR LOCKED AND UNLOCKED AT THE SAME TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. ON A CITY STREET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. AFTER THE CONTACT REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING AND IGNITION SWITCH INDICATOR ON THE STEERING COLUMN REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 147,000.

DRIVING ON A BUSY EXPRESSWAY, THERE WAS SUDDENLY A LOUD CLANGING UNDER THE CHASSIS. I STARTED DRIVING SLOWLY AND AGAIN THERE WAS AN EXTREMELY LOUD BANGING AGAINST THE CHASSIS. PULLED OF THE EXPRESSWAY WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED SLOWING DOWN. WHEN I STARTED TO PULL INTO THE FIRST MINIMALL I COULD FIND, THE CAR STARTED MOVING BACKWARDS AND NONE OF THE GEARS WOULD WORK. COULD NOT TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AS THE CAR CONTINUED TO GO REVERSE INTO TRAFFIC. FINALLY AFTER GETTING ASSISTANCE FROM SEVERAL PEOPLE HELPING ME GET THE CAR INTO THE PARKING LOT, I WAS ABLE TO BE TOWED TO MY GARAGE, WHERE IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE DRIVE SHAFT HAD BROKEN OFF, KNOCKING OFF A PIECE OF THE OD SENSOR AND THEN KNOCKED OUT THE EXHAUST PIPE WHICH THEN SNAPPED OFF THE SHIFT ASSEMBLY CABLE AND ALL THE GEARS. MY MECHANIC HAS NEVER SEEN ANYTHING AS BAD AS THIS. THE CAR IS COMPLETELY UNDRIVEABLE AND I SHUDDER TO THINK WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO MY FAMILY AND MYSELF AS WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. CURRENTLY MY CAR IS STILL AT THE MECHANIC'S WHERE HE IS WAITING FOR A DECISION FROM ME AS TO WHAT TO DO WITH THE CAR WHICH WILL COST $3,000 TO REPAIR WHICH IS WHAT THE TRADE VALUE IS ON THE CAR AND WHAT THE CAR WAS WORTH. NOW IT IS JUNK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE CONTINUOUS VARIABLE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 136,000.

PASSENGER AIR BAG IS NOT REGISTERING THAT IT IS WORKING PROPERLY. THE LIGHT FLASHES ON AND OFF CONSTANTLY EVEN WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT WITH THE SEAT BELT BUCKLED. IT STAY ON WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION, STATIONARY, ON A CITY STREET, HIGHWAY OR TURNING.

MY CAR WILL START, SLOWING DOWN WHILE I AM DRIVING. I CALLED NISSAN ON SEVERAL THINGS CONCERNING THIS CAR. NISSAN HAS NOT HAD A RECALL ON THEIR 2008-2010 ROGUE YET. 2008 IS THE 1ST GENERATION OF THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD ENGINE CRADLE PROBLEMS, CONTROL ARM PROBLEMS. THESE CAR MAKERS NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR PRODUCT.
