NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2008-2009 ROGUE VEHICLES. A SCREW IN THE STEERING GEAR HOUSING COVER MAY LOOSEN OVER TIME AND COULD FALL OUT. AS IT LOOSENS, THE STEERING RESPONSE OF THE VEHICLE MAY BE COMPROMISED BUT THE DRIVER WILL RETAIN STEERING CONTROL.
THE SCREW MAY EVENTUALLY COME OUT OF THE STEERING GEAR COVER. IF LARGE STEERING INPUTS ARE MADE WITH THE COVER SCREW MISSING THE PINION SHAFT MAY COME OUT OF THE STEERING GEAR RESULTING IN A COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT WHETHER THE STEERING GEAR COVER SCREW IS LOOSE AND WILL BE RETIGHTENED TO THE PROPER SPECIFICATION. DEALERS WILL ALSO INSTALL A COVER PLATE TO PREVENT THE SCREW FROM POSSIBLY COMING OUT OF THE STEERING GEAR. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE.

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.

CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURE. AT 86000 MILES. I WAS ON STREET AND HEARD A GRINDING NOISE AND IT JUST POPPED. IT LOST POWER NO ACCELERATION. I LUCKILY COASTED TO A DIRT ROAD WHERE AS SOON AS I TURNED IT STOPPED. WOULD NOT GO. HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY'VE HAD FOR 7 DAYS SO FAR. I'M OUT 445$ ON RENTAL CAR SO FAR. THEY PAY FOR TRANSMISSION BUT 300+ OTHER STUFF I HAVE TO PAY. SO I'M OUT 800+ $ FRANKLY I DONT REALLY HAVE. I KNOW COULD BE WORSE BUT THIS IS UNEXPECTED $ I HAD TO PAY PLUS KEEP UP ON REGULAR BILL'S. NOT RIGHT.
Vehicle speed control, Sep 15, 2018
I AM HAVING CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUES. IT STOPS ACCELERATING WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY AND I'M NOT ABLE TO GO FASTER THAT 60 MPH. WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE THE RPM METER GOES UP, WHICH ISN'T GOOD. I AM NO LONGER WITHIN 10 YEAR FRAME OF NISSAN'S EXTENDED WARRANTY SO I HAVE TO COME OUT OF POCKET FOR A TRANSMISSION THAT NISSAN KNOWS ISN'T RELIABLE AND WILL FAIL AGAIN. I'M HOPING THAT A RECALL COMES FROM THEM INSTEAD OF AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT LEAVES A LOT OF CONSUMERS OUT IN THE COLD. I'M GLAD THIS HAPPENED TO ME CAUSE I KNOW, NEVER, TO BUY A NISSAN VEHICLE.

NISSAN ROGUE 2008 WAS BOUGHT IN 2008 SINCE BEGINNING DURING UPHILL DRIVE IN SUMMER CAR STARTS STALLING ON FREEWAY. THIS PROMPTED NISSAN TO CHANGE CVT ON 10/15/2013 AND AGAIN ON 10/10/15. IT LOOKS LIKE CVT IS GETTING HEATED WITH NO COOLING SUPPORT. ON A HIGHWAY , VEHICLE STARTS LOOSING POWER AND PUTTING OCCUPANT OF THE VEHICLE IN DANGER.

TAKATA RECALL, THE NISSAN I PURCHASED FROM FUCCILLO NISSAN IN LATHAM, NEW YORK, WAS DEFECTIVE WITH EVERY ISSUE, HOWEVER NISSAN REFUSE TO HONOR ANY RECALLS. THEIR MOST RECENT EXTENDED WARRANTY, INDICATES A REPLACEMENT OF THE EVAP CANISTER AND TUBING, HOWEVER UPON ARRIVING AT THE NISSAN DEALER HE TOLD E MY CAR WAS OLD AND IT ONLY COVERS THE TUBE. THE NISSAN MANUFACTURER IS A JOKE, I DEALT WITH A WOMAN WHO LITERALLY FAILED TO INFORM ME THAT NISSAN NEVER REPORTED THAT I WAS THE NEW OWNER OF THE CAR. HENCE LAST YEAR MY CAR LITERALLY ROLLED BACKWARDS WHILE I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE UP HILL, RIGHT INTO TRAFFIC , POTENTIAL TO BE A DEADLY ACCIDENT , NOTING THE VARIETY OF COMPLAINTS I BELIEVE THAT THEIR WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE. FUCILLO NISSAN REFUSED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION, INSTEAD THE SEALED IT . TWO WEEKS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY, AND OF COURSE THEY REFUSED TO FIX IT TRYING TO EXPLAIN, HOW A CVT TRANSMISSION WORKS, AND THEN HE WENT AS FAR AS SAYING I HAVE TO GET USED TO IT. NISSAN IS A JOKE AND AS LONG AS THEY COULD GET AWAY WITH SELLING DEFECTIVE CARS AND NOT HONORING THEIR VERY OWN RECALLS THEY WILL, BILLY FUCILLO NEEDS HIS LICENCE SNATCHED, THEIR A BUNCH OF CROOKS, WHOM ARE DANGEROUS TO THE PUBLIC.

THE RECALL SAYS THE SENSOR WILL STILL BE ILLUMINATED WHEN A PASSENGER IS SITTING IN THE SEAT MEANING THAT THE SENSOR FOR THE AIR BAG IS MALFUNCTIONING.
