2009 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS NEW AFTERMARKET MONROE/TENNECO FRONT WHEEL STRUTS, PART NUMBER: 72609/72608. THE STRUTS WERE PURCHASED FROM ADVANCE AUTO (4240 MILLER RD, COLUMBUS, GA 31909) AND PLACED IN A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE BY THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER (HEADQUARTER NISSAN, 1725 WHITTLESEY RD, COLUMBUS, GA 31904, 706-225-8100) FOR MAINTENANCE WORK AND THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE STRUTS HAD FRACTURED DUE TO STRESS. THE STRUTS WERE TWO INCHES LONGER THAN THE MANUFACTURER'S STRUTS. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THE TOW ALIGNMENT WAS OFF AND THE CONTROL ARM FAILED DUE TO THE FRACTURED STRUTS. THE STRUTS WERE NOT ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WERE NOT ORIGINAL PARTS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 106,532.

CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE OR RESPOND TO GAS PEDAL ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME OR UPHILL. WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED THE VEHICLE WILL JUDDER AND LOOSE SPEED. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP IN 2016 FOR CVT OIL COOLER RECALL AT 93,063 MILES. BROUGHT VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP WITH LOSS OF ACCELERATION AT 119,931; HOWEVER, NO HARD CODES TO DIAGNOSIS ISSUE, SENT ON MY WAY, WITH A DIAGNOSIS OF BAD WHEEL BEARING. RETURNED LESS THAN A MONTH LATER WITH UNRESOLVED ISSUE (LOSS OF ACCELERATION) AT 121,075 MILES. DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAR NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION AND WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, 1,075 MILES OVER WARRANTY.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE UP HILLS OR DURING HOT DAYS, THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY IGNORE THE GAS PEDAL AND SLOW DOWN. THIS BECOMES TREACHEROUS ON LONG DRIVES THAT INVOLVE GOING OVER HILLS OR MOUNTAINS AS THEY CAR WILL SLOW TO UNDER 40MPH AND WILL NOT RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL. AFTER BRINGING MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY STATED THERE IS AN ECM RECALL. THEY CHANGED OUT THE PART, BUT THE ISSUE WHEN DRIVING STILL OCCURRED. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM (SEE NTB14-002), HOWEVER THE ISSUE IS NOT CONSIDERED A RECALL AND IS LABELED AS A CUSTOMER EXPENSE FOR THOSE OUTSIDE THE 60,000 MILE WARRANTY AND OPTIONAL UPGRADE. THIS IS A SERIOUS FLAW FOR ANY ROGUE OWNERS, AND IS A SAFETY RISK WHILE DRIVING. NISSAN SHOULD REPLACE THE FLAWED COOLING SYSTEMS AT THEIR EXPENSE, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE DEFECT WAS NOT DETECTED UNTIL 11/25/2015.

WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR SUDDENLY LOSES ALL ACCELERATION. EVEN WITH THE ACCELERATOR COMPLETELY DEPRESSED, THE CAR JUST STOPS. RPMS WON'T GO ABOVE 2500, AND MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE HAD TO MAKE SEVERAL EMERGENCY STOPS ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, SOMETIMES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, AND REQUIRING US TO CUT ACROSS MULTIPLE LANES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, WHICH WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,000.

DRIVING UP A HILL ON HIGHWAY ROUTE 80 WEST AT 65 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN SPEED STARTED TO DECREASE I PRESSED DOWN FULLY ON GAS WITH NO RESPONSE TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP SPEED CONTINUED TO DECLINE TO 55 MPH WITH TRAFFIC FLYING BY ME HONKING HORNS ETC I PUT HAZARDS ON AND CONTINUED TO PRESS GAS WITH NO RESPONSE WAS ABLE TO GET UP HILL AND SPEED AND TRANSMISSION RETURNED TO NORMAL. VERY HAZARDOUS FOR THIS TO OCCUR WITH KIDS IN THE CAR AS WELL.

GOT THE SUV IN MAY 2017 USED AND THIS YEAR 2018 IT DID NOT PASS N.Y. STATE INSPECTION PO448- EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYTEM VENT CONTRAL CIRCUIT SHORTED #P0455 EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM LEAK DETECTED LARGE LEAK. RESULITS - FAIL. NOTE HOW DID THIS PASS LAST YEAR ? IT HAS 59,841 MILEAGE.

CAN WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ONCE I WAS AT A STOP. WOULD TRY AND GO AND VEHICLE WOULD GO AN ESTIMATED SPEED OF 5MPH THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO TURN OR PULL INTO AN INTERSECTION. NOT KNOWING IF MY VEHICLE WOULD GO WITHOUT ISSUES OR LOSE POWER AND PULL IN FRONT OF A CAR GOING DANGEROUSLY SLOW. THIS HAS HAPPEN ABOUT 10TIMES AND RANDOM DAYS/TIMES. THIS IS A CONTINUING PROBLEM.

THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY LOSE ACCELERATION FOR NO REASON. I BROUGHT THIS CAR FOR MY GRANDDAUGHTER AND SHE HAS ALMOST GOTTEN HIT A COUPLE OF TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. SHE WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE SPEED DROPPED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THIRTY THEN TO TWENTY. SHE HAD TO PULLED OVER ONTO SHOULDER AND WAIT ABOUT TEN MINUTES BEFORE SHE COULD PROCEED, IT STILL WOULD NOT GO OVER FORTY EVEN THOUGH SHE HAD THE PEDAL FLOORED. SINCE THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH SO MANY CARS PLEASE MAKE NISSAN FIX IT.

VERY LOUD KNOCKING NOISE FROM FRONT END WHEN GOING OVER ANY BUMPS OTHER THAN A SMOOTH ROAD. COMING FROM FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. THE STEERING IS STILL OK. THE ENGINES IS RUNNING FINE. THE NOISE IS METAL ON METAL LIKE SOMEONE HITTING IT WITH A HAMMER. NOISE STARTED ABOUT BEGINNING OF APRIL AND HAS BEEN GETTING LOUDER AND LOUDER. TODAY'S DATE IS APRIL 23. ALMOST LIKE A RUBBER BUSHING FELL OFF AND NOT THE JOINT IS METAL ON METAL.
