Nissan North America, Inc.

The affected vehicles may experience an electrical short in the harness connector due to a mixture of snow/water and salt seeping through the carpet on the driver side floor near the harness connector.
An electrical short can cause a vehicle fire.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60 MPH MY CAR STARTED TO MAKE A WINDING SOUND BUT MY DASHBOARD DID NOT SHOW ANY WARNING LIGHTS IT QUICKLY STARTED TO LOSE POWER AND I IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO GET OUT OF THE FREEWAY. WHEN EXITING THE FREEWAY AND CROSSING A BUSY INTERSECTION MY CARD WOULD NOT RESPOND WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS, IT WAS NOT ACCELERATING AT ALL; MY SON QUICKLY ACTED AND PUSHED MY VEHICLE FROM THE BACK TO HELP ME CROSS THE INTERSECTION AND PARK SAFELY. IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS THAT A CAR CAN DECELERATES SO FAST WITHOUT WARNING. *JS

TRAVELING LONG DISTANCE ON THE HIGHWAY. ENGINE WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE ACCELERATOR IN A NORMAL MANNER ACCOMPANIED BY WHINY NOISES. PRESSED ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR AND RPMS WOULD INCREASE EXTREMELY SLOWLY AND NOT ABOVE 3000 RPMS. CONTINUED FOR THE REMAINING 2.5 HOURS OF OUR TRIP. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN ON OUR WAY HOME MULTIPLE TIMES. HAD EXTREME DIFFICULTY AFTER EXITING THE HIGHWAY AND HAVING TO STOP. VEHICLE BARELY MOVED FORWARD. *TR

MY GIRLFRIEND AND I OWN A NISSAN ROGUE THAT HAS A FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSION THAT HAS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED TWICE WITHIN THE PAST TWO YEARS. WE DISCOVERED THAT IT WAS FAULTY BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DECELERATES WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. AS THE CAR SLOWS, YOU CAN PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR, BUT THE CAR WILL NOT GO ABOVE WHATEVER SPEED IT WAS LOWERED TO. IF YOU NEED TO SLOW FOR WHATEVER REASON, THE CAR WILL BE RELEGATED TO A CRAWL WHICH IS A HUGE DANGER ON THE FREEWAY. WITH THAT SAID, NISSAN REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION INITIALLY AND WHILE WE BELIEVED OUR PROBLEMS WERE SOLVED, ABOUT A MONTH AGO WE DISCOVERED THAT THE CAR WAS ONCE AGAIN DECELERATING WHILE WE WERE BRINGING MY GIRLFRIEND'S YEAR AND A HALF YEAR OLD NIECE BACK HOME WITH US FROM LOS ANGELES. THANKFULLY WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE IT BACK HOME AND IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. AGAIN, IT WAS THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS TRANSMISSION AND AGAIN WE GOT IT REPLACED. WE WERE TOLD BY THE NISSAN MECHANIC THAT THE PHOENIX HEAT QUICKLY CAUSES THE CVT TRANSMISSION TO BREAK DOWN AND TOLD US THAT IT WILL LIKELY HAPPEN AGAIN WITHIN TWO YEARS. IT WAS AT THIS POINT THAT WE DECIDED TO CONTACT NISSAN AND PUSH FOR A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THIS TRANSMISSION. WE CAN'T AFFORD IT FINANCIALLY AND WE DON'T WANT TO RISK IT AND CONTINUE ON WITH OUR VEHICLE IF WE KNOW THAT IF WE PUSH IT, IT COULD BE UNSAFE. I ESCALATED THIS ISSUE THROUGH THEIR CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT, BUT AFTER SPEAKING WITH THEIR REPRESENTATIVES, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT THEY CONTRADICTED THEIR OWN MECHANIC AND REFUSED TO ADMIT THAT THIS IS A REAL ISSUE. INSTEAD THEY OPTED FOR A LETS WAIT AND SEE APPROACH. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE FOR MYSELF, MY FAMILY, AND ANYONE ELSE WHO MAY BE AFFECTED BY THIS FAULTY TRANSMISSION. *TR

I STARTED TO NOTICE THE PROBLEM WHEN TRYING TO PULL OUT ON TO A BUSY ROAD THAT WAS ON A SLIGHT HILL. FOR SOME REASON THE CAR WOULD NOT GO WHEN YOU HIT THE GAS. AFTER A WHILE OF DOING THIS A LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. WHATEVER THEY DID SEEM TO HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM OF THE CAR NOT ACCELERATING WHEN ON A HILL. BUT THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINED THAT IF YOU DROVE FOR SO LONG (5-10 MIN) ON THE INTERSTATE 65+ MPH THEN CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR AGAIN WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FOR A FEW MINUTES (I SAT THROUGH A STOP LIGHT AND A HALF TRYING TO GET THE CAR GOING). I THINK THIS IS RELATED TO THE FUNNY SOUND THE CAR MAKES WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS. ANY WAYS I TOOK THE CAR IN TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG AS THIS COULD CAUSE A PROBLEM IF IT ALLOWS YOU TO ROLL HALFWAY INTO AN INTERSECTION BUT THEN WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP SAID IT SOUNDS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION COOLER ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THEY SAID THIS WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE 120,000 MILE EXTENDED WARRANTY NISSAN PLACED ON 2008-2010 ROGUES. IT SEEMS LIKE NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM SINCE THEY HAVE EXTENDED THE WARRANTY BUT THEY HAVE NOT RECALLED THE PARTS FOR SOME REASON. MY MOM HAS A 2010 ROGUE WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. *TR

WE BOUGHT A CAR LAST MONDAY ON MAY 26, 2014 AT ANTWERPEN NISSAN SECURITY DEALERSHIP (1701 WOODLAWN DRIVE, BALTIMORE, MD 21207). PLEASE FIND THE CAR DETAILS: YEAR: 2008 MAKE: NISSAN MODEL: ROGUE BODY TYPE: 4DR SL FWD TRIM: SL BLACK VIN: [XXX] ODOMETER: 78321 WITH A DEALER WARRANTY FOR ONE MONTH OR 1000 MILES, POWERTRAIN ONLY ; FOR THE TOTAL CASH DELIVERED PRICE OF $13,000.00 (THIRTEEN THOUSAND US DOLLARS) ALREADY PAID BY CHECK ON MAY 26, 2014. THE SECOND DAY WE WERE FACING PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR AS THE MOTOR WAS OVERHEATED IN VERY FEW MILES, IT WAS SMELLING SMOKY INSIDE AND THE MOTOR WAS MAKING CRACKING NOISES EVEN WHEN IT WAS TURNED OFF. WE CALLED IMMEDIATELY THE SALES MANAGER AND LET HIM KNOW THAT WE WANT TO TURN THE CAR BACK AS IT IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE DAY AFTER WE ALMOST GET AN ACCIDENT IN THE TRAFFIC THAT PUT OUR LIFE IN DANGER. THE CAR LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING: GAS PEDAL WAS FULLY PUSHED DOWN AND THE TACHOMETER SHOWED 3500 RPM WHILE THE SPEED HARDLY REACHED 20 MPH FOR ABOUT 2 MILES TILL WE PULLED OVER AT BEL AIR ROAD. WE DECIDED TO CALL THE GENERAL MANAGER FOR TURNING THE CAR BACK AS IT WAS WITHIN THE WARRANTY AND I WAS VERY CLEAR TO HIM THAT I DO NOT WANT THAT CAR ANY MORE. HE AGREED TO DO SO, AND ON LAST FRIDAY MAY 30TH, 2014, THEY CARRIED THE CAR FROM OUR HOME LOCATION. WE REQUESTED THE MONEY BACK. SINCE THAT DAY WE HAVE BEING WAITING FOR DAYS AND HOURS IN THE DEALERSHIP OFFICES FOR A RESPONSE OF OUR REQUEST, BUT THEY LIED TO US ALL THE TIME AND LAST NIGHT AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS ON DEAF PHONE CALLS THE RESPONSE WAS: NO, THEY ARE NOT GIVING US THE MONEY BACK. THE CAR DEALER PRETEND THAT THIS DANGEROUS CAR HAS NO PROBLEMS AT ALL !!! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

NISSAN ROGUE 2008 WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY INCLINE. VEHICLE TOPPED OUT AT 45 MPH IN 65 ZONE. UNABLE TO ACCELERATE, VEHICLES HONKED AND PASSED BY. THIS CONTINUED UNTIL TOP OF INCLINE, THEN VEHICLE RESUMED ACCELERATION. TOOK TO LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO LEARN THAT NISSAN OFFERS EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR CVT TRANSMISSION AND THAT THIS ISSUE QUALIFIED FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. DEALER ORDERED TRANSMISSION COOLER KIT ON 3/3/2014. DEALER HAS SINCE INFORMED ME THAT PART REQUEST IS RESTRICTED AND CAN GIVE NO TIMEFRAME OF REPLACEMENT. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 2 WEEKS ( NOW 3/19). NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS ALSO UNABLE TO EXPEDITE PART. ACCELERATION ISSUE HAS HAPPENED 2 ADDITIONAL TIMES WITHIN LAST TWO WEEKS, AGAIN ON THE FREEWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF 65 MPH TRAFFIC. NISSAN HAS INDICATED THEY WILL NOT PROVIDE REPLACEMENT VEHICLE WHILE AWAITING PART. I EXPRESSED CONCERNS THAT THIS IS A VEHICLE SAFETY ISSUE IN WHICH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AGAIN WAS UNABLE TO COMMIT TO PROVIDING REPLACEMENT VEHICLE. CASE # [XXX].

PLEASE HELP US HAVE NISSAN DO A RECALL ON THE ENGINE. I HAVE HAD MY NISSAN ROUGE FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS. I WAS DRIVING MY CAR FROM SAN FRANCISCO TO LOS ANGELES. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 70 MILES PER HOUR WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY VEHICLE STARTED TO REDUCE SPEED. THIS HAPPENED LATER IN THE NIGHT SO THERE WASN'T MUCH TRAFFIC. IF IT WAS DURING RUSH HOUR I AM PRETTY SURE THIS WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. EVERY TIME I WOULD I TRIED TO INCREASE SPEED IT WOULD. I HAD TO DRIVE AT ABOUT 40 MILES PER HOUR UNTIL I FOUND A SAFE PLACE TO STOP. I HAD TO WAIT FOR ABOUT 3 HOURS AND THE TRIED DRIVING AGAIN AND IT WORKED FINE. I CAN'T TAKE THIS VEHICLE ON TRIPS ANY MORE BECAUSE I AM SCARED THIS MAY HAPPEN AGAIN. I HOPE THIS CAN BE RECALLED AND FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE REALLY GETS HURT IF NO HAS BEEN YET. *TR

THIS IS ONE OF SEVERAL SIMILAR INCIDENTS. I WAS ON A ROAD TRIP TO NYC, DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AT 73 MPH. IN ALL INCIDENTS, I NOTICED THAT AFTER HAVING THE CRUISE ON FOR OVER AN HOUR, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CRUISE WOULD JUST "KICK OFF". IT WOULD STOP WORKING. AND MY CAR WOULD START TO DECELERATE. BEING ON A MAIN HIGHWAY, TRAVELING 73 MPH WITH EVERYONE AROUND ME GOING EQUALLY AS FAST, IF NOT FASTER, AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN DECELERATING WAS LIKE PUTTING ON THE BRAKES WITH NO BRAKE LIGHTS. IT WAS POSITIVELY DANGEROUS AND SCARY. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, AFTER IT GOT DOWN TO BETWEEN 60 AND 65, IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I PUT MY FOOT TO THE FLOOR AND THERE WAS NO ACCELERATION. I GOT INTO THE RIGHT HAND LANE AS QUICKLY AS I COULD, AND PRAYED THE ENTIRE TIME TO NOT BE KILLED. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES, I WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE UP TO 70. BUT THE CRUISE WOULD JUST KICK OFF AS SOON AS I SET IT AGAIN. MADDENING, DANGEROUS AND SCARY. AND IT HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE. EXACTLY THE SAME WAY EACH TIME. AND ONLY AFTER BEING IN THE CAR WITH CRUISE ON FOR OVER AN HOUR. *TR

THE CVT TRANSMISSION IN THE 2008 NISSAN ROGUE IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE CAR LOSES ACCELERATION AFTER TRAVELING A DISTANCE (OVER 40 MILES) AND WHEN IT COMES TO A STOP, IT WILL NOT TAKE OFF. SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 2013 I DROVE FROM COLLEGE STATION, TX TO HOUSTON, TX (85 MILES). WHEN I CAME A STOP SIGN AFTER EXITING THE FREEWAY, I STOPPED AND THEN ATTEMPTED A RIGHT TURN INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. ONCE I DEPRESSED THE GAS, THE CAR ROLLED INTO THE INTERSECTION AND STALLED WITH TRAFFIC BARRELING TOWARD ME. CARS HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID HITTING ME. THIS CAR HAS ALWAYS HAD ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION PROBLEMS SINCE I BOUGHT IT AND NO WARNING LIGHTS EVER COME ON. THE FIRST TIME THE CAR BROKE DOWN WAS ON THE FIRST ROAD TRIP I TOOK IN THE CAR. IN 2012 AS I WAS DRIVING TO ATLANTA, GEORGIA AND THE CAR BROKE COMPLETELY DOWN IN BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA. I HAD TO GET A LOANER FROM THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN BIRMINGHAM TO COMPLETE MY TRIP. THE CVT TRANSMISSION IS A VERY, VERY DANGEROUS TECHNOLOGY AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND A CLASS ACTION SUIT SHOULD BE INITIATED AGAINST NISSAN. NISSAN HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FROM 60000 TO 120000 IN ALL CVT TRANSMISSION VEHICLES. WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS IF THEY DO NOT THINK THERE IS A PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS TURNING FROM A RESIDENTIAL STREET ONTO A MAIN ROAD, WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE THE CAR RED LINED, BUT DID NOT ACCELERATE. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO GO 5-10 MILES AN HOUR. I MANAGED TO PULL OVER WITHOUT GETTING HIT AND HAD TO GET THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AND I WAS TOLD THIS HAD HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES WITH THE CVT IN THE ROGUE. *TR

THE CAR WOULD LOSE ACCELERATION WHEN DRIVING AND ALSO WHEN STARTING TO GO FROM BEING STOPPED. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS DRIVING AROUND 60 MPH ON HIGHWAY AND THE GAS PEDAL WAS FULLY TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT INCREASE IN SPEED. THE CAR LOST SPEED AND DECREASED DOWN TO 45 MPH. WHEN GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY AT THE END OF THE EXIT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS. 5 SECONDS LATER THE CAR THRUSTED INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AS POWER KICKED BACK IN. AFTER SEVERAL PHONE CALLS TO NISSAN AND TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AT AROUND 60,000 MILES. CARE WAS GOOD FOR ABOUT 8 MONTHS BUT STARTED HAVING SAME ISSUE. HAVE HAD THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP 10 - 12 TIMES WITH SAME ISSUE AND TO THIS DAY IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. THEY USUALLY STATE THEY CAN NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. TEST DROVE THE CAR WITH THEIR TOP MECHANIC AND GOT THE ACCELERATION ISSUE TO HAPPEN. THEY MECHANIC SAID NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HE DRAINED FLUIDS SAYING THE LEVEL WAS TO HIGH. 6 MONTHS LATER SAME ISSUES AGAIN. TRIP AFTER TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAY THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND SEND US ON OUR WAY. LAST TIME 3 OTHER CUSTOMERS WERE AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH SAME ISSUE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. *TR

I PURCHASED A NEW 2008 NISSAN ROUGE IN MARCH OF 2008. MY FIRST ROAD TRIP WAS IN MAY OF 2009. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I LOST POWER (VERY DANGEROUS). I TOOK THE OVERDRIVE OFF, PUT PETAL TO FLOOR, PULLED OVER TO SIDE OF THE ROAD NOTHING HELPED. I WENT TO DEALERSHIP FOR A NOISE I HEARD ALSO ON TRIP, MOTOR MOUNTS WERE LOOSE BUT NOISE DID NOT CHANGE. AY THAT TIME I LET THEM KNOW ABOUT LOSS OF POWER. THINKING IT WAS JUST A FLUKE BECAUSE AROUND TOWN I DIDN'T HAVE TROUBLE WITH POWER. WENT ON ANOTHER ROAD TRIP AND IT DID THE SAME THING. SPECIALIST SUPPOSEDLY FLEW IN TOLD ME IT WAS BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS A TINY BIT TO HIGH. I TOLD THEM I BOUGHT IT OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR, AFTER BLINKING OF EYES THEY STILL CLAIMED THAT WAS THE REASON. THIS YEAR NEXT ROAD TRIP AND IT DID THE SAME THING AT 4 DIFFERENT TIMES...VERY SCARY!!! IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. MY SON TOOK IT TO AIRPORT TO PCK FRIENDS UP, IT HAPPENED A HOUR AND A HALF FROM HOME. THEN RECURRED IN 5 LANES OF CITY INTERSTATE TRAFFIC. HE WAS SO CLOSE TO GETTING HIT BY THE GRACE OF GOD HE DIDN'T. I TOOK IT TO THE CITY 2 WEEKS AGO AND IT DID THE SAME TO ME. IT IS SO SCARY TO BE GOING ALONG AT 65 MPH IN 5 LANES OF BUMPER TRAFFIC AND LOOSE POWER. NOW I AM MAKING PAYMENTS ON A CAR THAT I COULD NOT EVEN TRUST TO DRIVE MY KID BACK TO COLLEGE THIS YEAR. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I HAVE BEEN ON THE PHONE WITH HEADQUARTERS OF NISSAN FOR OVER A MONTH NOW AND I AM NOT GETTING NO WHERE. LOOKING ON THIS WEBSITE IT LOOKS LIKE THERE ARE LOTS OF ISSUES WITH THIS CAR...HOW MANY ACCIDENTS OR DEATHS NEED TO HAPPEN BEFORE THEY STAND BEHIND THERE PRODUCT. WOULD LOVE ANY FEED BACK ON WHO I NEED TO SPEAK TO NEXT! THANK YOU *TR
