Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2008-2013 Nissan Rogue vehicles manufactured March 7, 2007, to November 26, 2013, and 2014 Nissan Rogue Select vehicles manufactured September 23, 2013, to July 2, 2014. 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.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the kick panel wiring harness connector and will if necessary install a new harness connector and waterproof seal, free of charge. The recall began on February 26, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.

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. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING NOVEMBER 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

Tires, pressure monitoring and regulating systemsOct 5, 2009
NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2008-2010 VEHICLES ORIGINALLY SOLD IN OR CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN THE STATES OF CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, IOWA, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, MASSACHUSETTS, MAINE, MARYLAND, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, MISSOURI, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, VERMONT, WASHINGTON D.C., WEST VIRGINIA AND WISCONSIN. THE MATERIAL IN THE NUT USED TO SECURE THE SENSOR-TRANSMITTER OF THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) MAY CORRODE AND POTENTIALLY CRACK IN AREAS WITH HEAVY CONCENTRATIONS OF ROAD SALT. IF THIS OCCURS, THE NUT MAY COME OUT OF THE SENSOR-TRANSMITTER AND THE TPMS LAMP WILL ILLUMINATE.
IF THE TPMS LAMP IS DISREGARDED AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO BE DRIVEN IN THIS CONDITION, THE TIRE WILL QUICKLY LOSE AIR PRESSURE AT A CONSISTENT RATE RESULTING IN A FLAT TIRE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE TPMS NUT WITH A NEW, MORE ROBUST NUT. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR BEFORE NOVEMBER 9, 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261 AND INFINITI AT 1-800-662-6200.

NISSAN IS RECALLING 204,361 MY 2007-2008 ALTIMA, ALTIMA HYBRID, 350Z, 350Z ROADSTER, MY 2008 ALTIMA COUPE, ROGUE, MY 2009 MURANO, AND INFINITI MY 2007-2008 G35 SEDAN, MY 2008 G37 COUPE AND EX35 PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS' OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS) CONTROL UNITS. A VARISTOR IN THE OCS CONTROL UNIT LOCATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED OUT OF SPECIFICATION. UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, THIS COULD CAUSE AN INTERRUPTION OF SIGNAL BETWEEN THE OCS AND THE AIR BAG CONTROL UNIT (ACU).
THIS COULD RESULT IN THE PASSENGER AIR BAG BEING SUPPRESSED WHICH COULD FAIL TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE PROTECTION IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL TEST THE SIGNAL BETWEEN THE OCS AND ACU SYSTEMS USING A SPECIAL TOOL TO CHECK THAT IT IS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. IF NECESSARY, THE SEAT CUSHION (CONTAINING OCS HARDWARE) WILL BE REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE MANUFACTURED TO SPECIFICATION. THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 4, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261 OR INFINITI AT 1-800-662-6200.

AFTER HIGHWAY DRIVING WHEN STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT VEHICLE HAS NO POWER UPON RESUMING DRIVING
Power train, Oct 19, 2016
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED SEVERE FRONT END VIBRATION WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE FAILURE WAS CONFIRMED; HOWEVER, THE REMEDY WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED NEW TIRES. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS DEFECTIVE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 115,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.
Vehicle speed control, Oct 15, 2016
DURING PROLONG PERIODS OF DRIVING (2-2.5 HOURS) AT APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF ACCELERATION WITHOUT WARNING. RPVS WILL NOT GO PAST 2500. SPEED WILL DROP TO 45-50 MPH. I'VE ALMOST BEEN REAR-ENDED TWICE BECAUSE OF THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER (THE SPEED DROPS INSTANTLY). IT'S BEEN HAPPENING CONSTANTLY SINCE JUNE 2016. DRIVING SHORT DISTANCES WITHIN THE CITY IS NOT A PROBLEM, BUT CAN'T DRIVE SAFELY ON 75MPH HIGHWAYS WITHOUT LOSING POWER.

INCORRECT FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR READING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. REASON -FAULTY FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT
Electrical system, Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 5, 2016
THE GAS GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WILL COME ON WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED ALMOST ALL OF THE TIME. AND THE FUEL GAUGE WILL SHOW HALF FULL AFTER BEING FILLED OR EVEN WHILE DRIVING. IT MAY ALSO SHOW EMPTY AT ANYTIME. IT MAY OR MAY NOT RETURN TO THE TRUE LEVEL IN THE TANK AT SOME POINT. YOU SIMPLY DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK WITHOUT USING THE TRIP ODOMETER TO TRACK YOUR MILEAGE BETWEEN FILL UPS. THE GAUGE IS OPERATIONALLY USELESS. ADDITIONALLY, THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON WITH THIS MAKING THE STATE INSPECTION A PROBLEM AND REQUIRING A REGULAR CHECK TO MAKE SURE SOMETHING ELSE HASN'T GONE WRONG. MONITOR CODE DISPLAYED IS PO463-FUEL LEVEL SENSOR A CIRCUIT HIGH INPUT. NISSAN REALLY NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL AND REPLACE THE FUEL SENSOR AT NO CHARGE TO THE CONSUMER OR DIAGNOSE AND FIX WHATEVER THE PROBLEM MAY BE. THIS IS AN ONGOING DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR MANY NISSAN ROUGE OWNERS BASED ON WHAT I HAVE SEEN IN COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME PROBLEM POSTED TO THE INTERNET CAR FORUMS AND MY OWN EXPERIENCE.
Electrical system, Sep 29, 2016
I MADE A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT ON 9/05/2016 (NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10903665) AND HAVE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO ADD. I WAS TOLD BY NISSAN REP THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL OF THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR. THEY SAID THE SENSOR WAS CHECKED IN 2008 AND WAS OK, THEREFORE, THEY WERE NO LONGER RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY FAILURE OF THAT PART. THE ORIGINAL PART THAT WAS RECALLED IS THE PART THAT IS STILL IN MY VEHICLE. THAT PART HAS FAILED. I GOT RECORDS FROM THE NISSAN DEALER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FOR THAT RECALL AND THEY SHOW THAT THEY DID THE RECALL ON 12/01/2008 AND THEY ALSO SHOW THEY DID ANOTHER OCS INSPECTION ON 02/09/2010 DUE TO CUSTOMER COMPLAINT. EVIDENTLY THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH IT AT THAT TIME. THEY DID NOT CHANGE THE PART. MY GUESS IS THAT THEY RESET IT AND THAT WORKED AT THAT TIME. I NOW HAVE A VEHICLE THAT WOULD BE UNSAFE FOR ANYONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THAT REQUIRES APPROXIMATELY $1,700 TO REPLACE A PART THAT IS UNDER RECALL BY NISSAN THAT THEY CLAIM NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR. THIS COMPANY NEEDS TO BE MADE TO BACK UP THE VOLUNTARY RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THE NUMEROUS INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCIN THIS ISSUE. ALSO, PEOPLE CHECKING VIN NUMBERS TO SEE IF THEIR VEHICLE WAS PART OF THAT RECALL NEED TO LOOK FURTHER AS WHEN I CHECKED MY VIN NUMBER IT DID NOT SHOW THAT IT WAS PART OF THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT ACTUALLY WAS PART OF THAT RECALL.

NOW THE DEALER AND NISSIAN ARE SAYING THIS IS NORMAL...I FEEL THE VIBRATION MOST AT TAKE OFF UP TO 40 OVER 40 IT GOES AWAY.

GAS GAUGE QUIT WORKING. SENSOR NEEDLE GOES UP AND DOWN
Air bags, Sep 9, 2016
WE OWN A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS AGO THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING WHILE DRIVING AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT WILL SHOW THAT IT IS OFF EVEN WHEN AN ADULT PASSENGER IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. WE TOOK THIS TO OUR LOCAL NISSAN DEALER IN WHICH CASE THEY INFORMED US THAT IT WOULD COST $1800 TO REPAIR. UPON RESEARCHING THIS ONLINE, I FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THERE WAS A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH OUR MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR VEHICLE. IT IS NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 08V521000 . THE DEALERSHIP WE TOOK THE CAR TO FOR REPAIR SAID THAT OUR CAR WASN'T INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. I CALLED NISSAN DIRECTLY AND FILED A CASE WITH THEM TO SEE IF I COULD GET OUR CAR INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL SINCE IT IS THE EXACT ISSUE DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. THEY GAVE ME CASE NUMBER 32943503. WHEN THE CASE OFFICER WITH NISSAN CALLED ME BACK THEY WERE UNWILLING TO WORK WITH US ON THIS ISSUE STATING THAT OUR VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND COULDN'T PROVIDE ME WITH ANY INFORMATION ON THE DEFECTIVE PART THAT WAS RECALLED SO THAT I COULD COMPARE THAT WITH WHAT IS INSTALLED IN MY CAR. AFTER LOOKING AT ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ONLINE FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE, I THINK THAT THIS RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE MORE VEHICLES SINCE THE PARTS INSTALLED CONTINUE TO BE DEFECTIVE AND THIS AFFECTS LIFE SAFETY OF THE PASSENGERS IN THESE VEHICLES.
Air bags, Seats, Sep 5, 2016
WHILE DRIVING APPROX. 40 MPH THE PASSENGER SEAT LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING SEAT AIR BAGS WOULD NOT ENGAGE. THIS OCCURRED WHILE A 150 LB. PERSON WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. A LIGHT RED INDICATOR LIGHT ALSO CAME ON ON THE DASH AND IT WAS BLINKING. BOTH OF THESE LIGHTS HAVE CONTINUED EVERY TIME WE USE THE CAR WHETHER SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OR NOT. AFTER SEEING THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2008 OCS FROM NISSAN, I TOOK THE CAR TO OUR LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID OUR VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. WHY NOT, HOW DID THEY DETERMINE THAT. THE SAME PART WAS USED ON ALL THE 2008 ROGUES AS WELL AS MANY OTHER NISSANS OF THAT YEAR. WHY IS NHTSA NOT INVESTIGATING THIS. THERE ARE HUNDREDS, PROBABLY MORE, NISSAN VEHICLES 2008-2009 THAT HAVE THIS VERY EXPENSIVE PROBLEM AS WELL AS VERY UNSAFE, LIFE THREATENING ISSUE. NISSANS "VOLUNTARY" RECALL HELPED THEM ESCAPE A FULL RECALL. THEY HAVE NOT HONORED THEIR "VOLUNTARY" RECALL.

SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG LIGHT IS ALWAYS FLASHING WHEN VEHICLE IS ON. DEALER DID DIAGNOSTIC AND SAID THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG SENSOR. THE ONLY REMEDY IS TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SEAT ENTIRELY. IF THE PASSENGER SEAT IS NOT REPLACED, THE AIR BAG MAY NOT DEPLOY WHEN IT SHOULD.

WHILE DRIVING AT VARIED SPEED THE ROGUE WILL REFUSE TO ACCELERATE AND THE RPMS WILL RISE, BUT THE CAR WILL NOT GO NO MATTER HOW FAR YOU PRESS THE ACCELERATOR DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED COUNTLESS TIMES AND WHEN I RESEARCH ONLINE IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON AND KNOWN ISSUES WITH ROGUES OF THIS YEAR. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL NEAR COLLISIONS DUE TO THIS ISSUES.
Other or unspecified, Jul 25, 2016
I BOUGHT A NEW 2008 NISSAN ROGUE IN 2008. I'M ON THE 3RD TRANSMISSION ON THIS CAR. EACH TIME THE SAME THING GOES WRONG. WHEN THE TRANSMISSION GETS HOT ON A LONGER THAN 2 HOUR TRIP, IT LOSES POWER. ON 7-23-16 ON A 400 MILE TRIP, HALF WAY INTO THE TRIP IT STARTS TO SLOWLY LOSE POWER. THE FASTEST I CAN GO IS 60 MPH. GOING UP HILLS IT'S ABOUT 45MPH AT FULL SPEED. THIS IS THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENED TO THE OTHER 2 TRANSMISSIONS. NOW I HAVE 128,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE. IS IT STILL A FREE REPLACEMENT ON THE TRANSMISSION? I PROBABLY ONLY HAVE ABOUT 50,000 MILES ON THIS LATEST TRANSMISSION. MY QUESTION IS, WILL THE DEALER REPLACE IT FREE OF CHARGE?

TAKATA RECALL THERE IS AIR BAG ICON FLASHING ON THE DASH BOARD IN RED. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND IT LOOKS LIKE THIS WAS A RECALL REPORTED BACK IN OCTOBER 2008. I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN NOVEMBER, 2008 AND I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I CALLED LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID THIS RECALL DOES NOT POP UP BASED ON MY VIN AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING FOR THIS ISSUE. MY LOCAL REPAIR MAN SAID IN ORDER TO FIX THIS, I HAVE TO CHANGE WHOLE SEAT WHICH COULD COST ME ABOUT $2000. THIS IS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND LOCAL DEALER DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE CARE THIS ISSUE. I AM SURE ANY SAFETY ISSUE SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY NISSANUSA. IF SOMEONE WAS DRIVING AND KILLED BY THE ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE AIRBAG DID NOT POP UP, WHAT WOULD YOU DO THEN.
Power train, Jul 14, 2016
IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR A YEAR NOW. THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. THE CAR REVS UP WITH NO APPLIED ACCELERATION. IT WILL SLOW DOWN TO 45 MPH AND I'LL HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD CUT IT OFF AND RESTART THE CAR AND IT'LL STRAIGHTEN OUT FOR ANOTHER 30-45 MILES AND REPEAT. IT'S PRETTY DANGEROUS BC THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE. I'VE READ A LOT OF FORUMS AND IT SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM IN MOST NISSANS. NOT JUST THE ROGUE. I FEEL AS IF THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE ON IMMEDIATE RECALL.
Air bags, Jul 10, 2016
JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER, SHE STATED THAT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD HER THE FLASHING PASSENGER AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD WAS "NO PROBLEM". DESPITE 2 EFFORTS ON HER PART TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED, IT CONTINUES TO FLASH. WORRIED THAT THE SENSOR WILL NOT ACTIVATE THE AIRBAG IN THE EVENT OF ACCIDENT.
Air bags, Jun 29, 2016
MY AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND WHEN I HAD A PASSENGER RIDING IN THE FRONT SEAT, THE AIRBAG SENSOR WOULD NEVER GO TO ON. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE BEING THIS MEANS THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY- EVER- BECAUSE IT DOES NOT EVER SENSE SOMEONE SITTING THERE. THERE WAS A RECALL OF MY EXACT MAKE AND MODEL BUT OF COURSE NOT MY VIN#. NOW, THE STATE OF HAWAII WILL NOT LET ME PASS MY SAFETY INSPECTION- BECAUSE THEY ARE VERY WELL OF THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THE AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYING. SO I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO TELLS ME I HAVE TO REPLACE THE SEAT CUSHION- TO THE TUNE OF OVER $2000! I WROTE TO NISSAN CORPORATE WHO BASICALLY TOLD ME TO SHUT UP AND STOP COMPLAINING. THIS IS A JOKE & I AM CERTAIN WE WILL JUST HAVE TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE NISSAN IS ACTUALLY HELD RESPONSIBLE. NOW I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE SINCE MY STATE HAS DEEMED IT UNSAFE- OR MY OTHER OPTION IS TO PAY 1/3 OF WHAT THE CAR IS WORTH TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT IS ALREADY KNOWN & THERE ARE 100S OF COMPLAINTS. I HOPE YOU GUYS MOVE THIS ALONG BECAUSE I STILL HAVE TO MAKE A CAR PAYMENT ON A CAR I CANNOT DRIVE, PAY OVER $2000 TO REPLACE THE WHOLE SEAT, OR PAY IT OFF AND JUNK THE CAR, SINCE I CANNOT SELL AN UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT WON'T PASS A SAFETY INSPECTION. NONE OF THESE OPTIONS ARE EXACTLY GREAT FOR ME. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNFAIR TO CONSUMERS & SEEMS MORE LIKE A WAY FOR NISSAN DEALERSHIPS TO INCREASE PROFITS. I HOPE YOU MOVE QUICKLY ON THIS BEFORE INNOCENT LIVES ARE TAKEN BY A KNOWN FAULTY AIRBAG SENSOR. NOT TO MENTION, I ONLY HAVE 30 DAYS TO EITHER PAY THE $2000 TO FIX THE PROBLEM OR TO JUNK MY CAR WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY PENALTIES! I'M GLAD MY OWN STATE CAN SEEM THIS COMPLETELY UNSAFE BUT NO RECALL HAS OCCURRED? WHAT IF I FIX IT- WILL I BE REIMBURSED IF THERE FINALLY IS A RECALL? THIS HAS PUT ME IN SUCH A TERRIBLE PLACE! PLEASE HELP!

I WAS DRIVING IN HIGHWAY CONDITIONS (55MPH IN 55MPH ZONE) WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY DECELERATED AND WOULD NOT GET ABOVE 30MPH. CARS BEHIND ME HAD TO SWERVE AROUND ME IN ORDER TO GET AROUND ME WITH THE SUDDEN DECELERATION. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT OFF THE HIGHWAY & ONTO LOCAL ROADS. EVERY TIME I HAD TO ACCELERATE AFTER A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, THE CAR WOULD NOT INITIALLY ACCELERATE DESPITE ME PUSHING FULL DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR. THIS REPEATEDLY ALMOST RESULTED IN MY BEING HIT BY CARS BEHIND ME. I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY MAKE IT HOME. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT I AM BEYOND THE WARRANTY EXTENSION (ABOUT 9,000 MILES PAST THE 120,000 EXTENSION), SO I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL WITH THE # OF COMPLAINTS ALL ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. ALSO, IF THE MANUFACTURER HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY, DOESN'T THAT MEAN THEY MUST BE AWARE THAT IT IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM?! IT IS SO DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING AT 55 AND SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING DECELERATE SIGNIFICANTLY. IT IS A WONDER THAT NO ONE HAS BEEN HURT (& UNFORTUNATELY PROBABLY ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS). THIS APPEARS TO BE WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR & MODEL OF ROGUE.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 45,000. UPDATED 08/17/16*LJ THE CONSUMER WAS QUOTED A PRICE OF $ 1800. ALSO, THE TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE NEVER WORKED PROPERLY. WHEN THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, FOR THE PROBLEM, THEY WOULD SIMPLY OVERFILL THE TIRES, UNTIL THE FLASHING SENSOR WOULD GO OUT. UPDATED 08/22/16. *JB
