2012 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

MY ROGUE HAS A HARD TIME ACCELERATING, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S HOT OUT AND I HAVE THE AC ON. RECENTLY, WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL, I HAVE TO RELY ON THE MOMENTUM OF THE STOP AND GO TO CARRY ME. EVENTUALLY IT DOES ACCELERATE, BUT I HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE AC IS OFF. IT STARTED HAPPENING WHEN THE WEATHER TURNED WARMER. I GET REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND MAKE SURE MY FLUID ARE FLUSHED AND WITHIN A GOOD RANGE.

SUN VISORS NO LONGER STAY IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION AT ANY TIME. THEY PRODUCE A HAZARD BY CONSTANTLY BLOCKING YOUR VIEW OF THE HIGHWAY. VEHICLE HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

BESIDES THE TRANSMISSION BEING REPLACED TO IT BEING FAULTY, NOW THE A/C IS NOT WORKING !!! I HAVE NEVER USED IT SINCE OBTAINING THIS VEHICLE ! BLOWING HOT AIR AND WHEN I START THE CAR, I HEAR A TICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE LEFT SIDE WHERE THE A/C MOTOR IS , I THOUGHT IT NEEDED RECHARGING BUT IT WON'T TAKE A CHARGE! *TR

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LOCK MAKES A BUZZING SOUND WHEN LOCKING OR UNLOCKING DOOR USING KEY OR KEY FOB. DOOR WILL NOT LOCK WHEN USING KEY FOB. BAD ACTUATOR.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS FLASHING SO WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG STAYS OFF EVEN WITH A PERSON IN THE SEAT. THEY STATED IT IS THE OCCUPANCY SENSOR AND WANTED OVER $2,000 TO FIX IT. I HAD THE NISSAN EXTEND WARRANTY WHICH THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY SAID MY 2012 ROGUE WAS NOT PART OF ANY OF THE YEARS FOR THE OCCUPANCY SENSOR THAT WERE RECALLED. IF THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE SAME REASON, WHY WOULD THIS NOT BE COVERED? WHY IF THE SENSOR FAILS IT WOULD DEFAULT TO KEEP AIRBAGS FROM WORKING?. NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME IT WAS PASS THE 3 YEARS /36000 SO THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR IT.

2012 NISSAN ROGUE HAS APPROXIMATELY 113,000 MILES AND TRANSMISSION IS COMPLETELY BROKEN. CONFIRMED THE NEED FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION BY AAMCO.

IN NOVEMBER 2017, WHILE DRIVING IN ONE OF THE PASSING LANES ON QEW DRIVING FROM BUFFALO, NY TO TORONTO, CANADA, AT APPX 70 MPH, THE CAR STARTED LOSING POWER AND SPEED. THE RPM STARTED REVVING ALOT BUT THE CAR SPEED DECREASED RAPIDLY. THE CARS BEHIND ME ALMOST REAR ENDED ME AT THIS SPEED. I WAS ON A 4 LANE THRUWAY AND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO PULL TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD TO THE SHOULDER BECAUSE ALL OF THE CARS WERE SPEEDING AROUND ME. QUITE FRANKLY, IT WAS A TERRIFYING SITUATION TO BE IN AS SEMI TRUCKS AND OTHER CARS GOING 70 - 80+ MPH WERE SPEEDING UP BEHIND YOU AS YOUR VEHICLE LOST POWER. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND LET THE CAR REST FOR ABOUT 1/2 HOUR THEN STARTED TO DRIVE AGAIN. I DROVE THE NEXT 30 MILES AT APPX 35-40 MPH WITH MY 4 WAY FLASHERS ON. THE CAR DID EVENTUALLY GET BACK TO SPEED AND SEEM TO DRIVE NORMAL. MILEAGE WAS APPX 125,000- 130,000. THIS HAPPENED A SECOND TIME IN MARCH 2019. I DROVE APPX 65 MILES ON COUNTRY ROADS IN A RURAL AREA TO PICK UP MY ELDERLY MOTHER TO TAKE HER TO THE HOSPITAL. THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER. THE RPM'S WERE GOING CRAZY, THE CAR LOST POWER. AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES, THE CAR EVENTUALLY GOT BACK TO SPEED AGAIN. I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE HER TO THE HOSPITAL IN MY CAR AND FORTUNATELY A NEIGHBOR LET ME USE THEIR CAR TO TRANSPORT MY MOM TO THE HOSPITAL. THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO DRIVE MY CAR THE 75 MILES BACK HOME AND IT DROVE OKAY BUT I WAS VERY WORRIED I WOULD NOT MAKE IT HOME. MILEAGE WAS APPX 145,000. THIS HAPPENED A 3RD TIME AUGUST OF 2019 WHILE TRAVELING WB ON THE NYS I-90 THRUWAY. AGAIN, I WAS IN THE PASSING LANE TRAVELING ABOUT 70 MPH WHEN THE RPM'S STARTED GOING CRAZY AND THE CAR LOST POWER. THIS TIME A SEMI TRUCK WAS BEHIND ME AND QUICKLY CLOSING IN ON MY CAR. AGAIN, IT WAS TOUGH TO GET TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD TO GET OUT OF FAST MOVING TRAFFIC. MILEAGE APPX 160,000.

THE NISSAN ROGUE HAS A CVT TRANSMISSION, WHICH IS KNOWN TO FAIL. AND HAS TO REPLACES AND NOT REPAIRED OR REBUILT.

I REPORTED A FIRE COMPLAINT BACK IN THE SUMMER TO YOU ON THIS VEHICLE. NOW MY ACCELERATOR JUST SUDDENLY QUITS WORKING. I REPORTED THIS TO DOWNTOWN NASHVILLE NISSAN AROUND JUNE 2019. THEY SAID NO CODE CAME UP. IT HAS SINCE BEEN HAPPENING MORE AND MORE. TWICE WHEN I WAS TRYING TO GET ON THE INTERSTATE. TWO WEEKS AGO IT HAPPENED FIVE TIMES IN A ROW AND WOULDN'T GO OVER 30 MPH. WHEN I WOULD LET COMPLETELY OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND PUSH IT AGAIN IT JUMPS LIKE ALL OF THE ENERGY BUSTS THROUGH AT ONCE. I HAVE SINCE DONE RESEARCH AND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE STILL ONLY HAS LESS THAN 59,000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I AM SURE PEOPLE HAVE HAD TO HAVE DIED BECAUSE OF IT BUT SINCE THEY ARE DEAD THEY CAN'T REPORT IT. I HAVE MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS AND IT MAKES THE SAFETY ISSUE EVEN WORSE. I CAN'T WALK VERY FAR IF I GET STRANDED. IF I DON'T GET REAR ENDED ON THE INTERSTATE BEFORE THAT HAPPENS. NISSAN IS VERY AWARE OF THIS. EVEN ROGUES WITH 8,000 MILES ARE DOING THIS. IT ISN'T A MATTER OF JUST BEING STRANDED SOMEWHERE. VEHICLE WAS MOVING EVERY TIME ON INTERSTATE AND CITY STREETS. THE VEHICLE WON'T SHOW A CODE TO THE DEALER SO THEY SAY I HAVE TO TAKE A VIDEO WITH MY FOOT PUSHING DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR AND SHOWING THE SPEED THAT I AM GOING. NEVER MIND THAT I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ON THE INTERSTATE IN A VEHICLE THAT IS FAILING. THE DATE I AM GIVING YOU IS JUST THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED.

I HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED IN AUGUST. I ORIGINALLY HAD TROUBLES IN MAY (CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND I HAD MY FOOT PEDAL ON THE FLOOR TRYING TO ACCELERATE ON THE INTERSTATE (40 MPH BEING PASSED BY SEMIS WITHOUT ANYWHERE SAFE TO PULLOVER) AND BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. IN AUGUST I HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS OF NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME MY TRANSMISSION WAS TOAST AND I NEEDED ANOTHER ONE. THEY TOLD ME THAT IF I DID NOT INSTALL THE COOLING KIT, IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO AAMCO FOR A SECOND OPINION. HE AGREED THAT I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND A COOLING KIT ADDED AS THIS IS COMMON WITH THE NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON AND THIS CAR WAS NOT SAFE ON THE ROAD. NISSAN CLEARLY KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR TRANSMISSIONS IN THIS MODEL AND ADMIT TO NEEDING AN ADD-ON COOLING KIT TO ADDRESS. IT WAS NEGLIGENT OF THE DEALERSHIP TO LET ME DRIVE OFF OF THE LOT IN MAY. IT IS NOW DECEMBER AND I AM HAVING TROUBLES WITH MY CAR AGAIN. WHEN I FIRST TURN MY CAR ON, IT MAKES A WHINING NOISE WITH PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. MY MECHANIC BELIEVES THIS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND I WILL BE BRINGING MY CAR TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO SEE. I ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON IN AUGUST AND MY CAR MAKING NOISES WITH CHANGING GEARS. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS DUE TO THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR. BUT, I AM STILL HAVING TROUBLES AND NOW I AM TOLD IT IS THE TRANSMISSION AGAIN. I AM NOT CONVINCED THAT ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE NOT ALL RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION. NISSAN KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND ARE ALLOWING PEOPLE TO DRIVE WITH AN UNSAFE VEHICLE.
