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.

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.

THE 2008 NISSAN ROGUE WE PURCHASED IN MARCH 2009 HAS EXPERIENCED CONTINUAL CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURES. THE FIRST FAILURE WAS MAY 2009 AND THE CVT WAS REPLACED. THE PART WAS FOUND TO BE MALFUNCTIONING AFTER DETERMINING THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY AND WAS EXPERIENCING HIGH RPMS WHILE DRIVING. THE CVT WAS REPLACED AGAIN IN APRIL 2014 AFTER LOSING FUNCTIONALITY IN A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION OCCURRED WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE EXPRESSWAY AT WHICH POINT THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY EXPERIENCED HEIGHTENED RPMS, BEGAN DECELERATING AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE GREATER THAN 20MPH. WE SAFELY EXITED THE EXPRESSWAY AT AN APPROACHING EXIT AND COASTED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP LESS THAN THREE BLOCKS FROM THE EXPRESSWAY EXIT. NISSAN RECENTLY ALERTED US THAT THE CURRENT CVT TRANSMISSION IN OUR VEHICLE WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN DESPITE HAVING ONLY 20,000 MILES SINCE THE REPLACEMENT IN 2014. NISSAN HAS DECLINED TO COVER THIS FAULTY PART IN THE VEHICLE AND HAS OFFERED INSTEAD TO PROVIDE A LONGER WARRANTY IF WE PURCHASE A BRAND NEW VEHICLE INSTEAD. IF THE CVT FAILS IN THIS VEHICLE, IT WILL HAVE BEEN THE THIRD TRANSMISSION DURING OUR OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE, REQUIRING A FOURTH TO BE INSTALLED.

MY CAR FAILED THE CAL SMOG CHECK ON 3/24/2016 PREVENTING ME FROM OBTAINING MY REGISTRATION TAGS. THE CAR PASSED EVERY TEST WITH THE EXCEPTION OF CODE P0463-FUEL LEVEL SENSOR "A" CIRCUIT HIGH. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON ALSO. I TOOK THE CAR TO FIRST NISSAN IN SIMI VALLEY, CA AND THEY INDICATED IT WOULD COST $900 TO PULL THE ENGINE TO SEE IF THE FUEL SENSOR LEVEL EQUIPMENT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I ALSO CALLED NISSAN CORPORATION TO SEEK ASSISTANCE DUE TO THE COST. NISSAN CORP REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. I HAVE READ INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH MY YEAR NISSAN AND THAT THEY HAVE RECALLED VEHICLES AND PAID FOR THEIR REPAIR.

I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THE AIRBAG, OR AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT, FIXED. AFTER OWNING THE ROGUE FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS ( I BOUGHT IT NEW), THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING IN THE CAR. WHEN I TOOK IT TO NISSAN, THEY SAID IT WAS A FAULTY SENSOR IN THE SEAT AND IT WOULD TAKE SEVERAL HUNDRED (I RECALL IT BEING OVER $500, BUT IT'S SO LONG AGO I MAY BE WRONG)TO FIX IT. I THOUGHT THAT TOO MUCH, BUT WHEN THE TAKATA RECALLS BEGAN, AND PEOPLE BEGAN TO DIE, I BECAME MORE CONCERNED. I LIVE IN HAWAII, WHICH IS VERY HOT AND HUMID. THE REALITY IS EITHER THE SENSOR OR THE AIRBAG HAS NOT WORKED PROPERLY FROM NEARLY THE TIME I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW. IT'S OBVIOUSLY FAULTY, AND POSSIBLY DANGEROUS. I FEEL THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD FIX IT.
Power train, Apr 2, 2016
I WAS HEARING & FEELING A NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING SO I TOOK MY CAR IN TO THE NISSAN DEALERS SERVICE CENTER TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. THEY STATED THAT MY TRANSMISSION AND TRANSFER CASE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NISSAN HAS EXTENDED THE TRANSMISSION WARRANTY TO 120K MILES BUT DOESN'T BACK THE TRANSFER CASE OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT RELATES TO THIS KNOW ISSUE. THEY SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE FOR ALL ISSUES CONCERNING THIS MATTER.

ON 6/13/2015 I PURCHASED A NEW SET OF FIRESTONE AFFINITY TOURING P225/60R17 98H TIRES FROM FIRESTONE COMPLETE AUTO CARE STORE AND WHILE DRIVING HOME I NOTICED A BUMPING NOISE. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME I NOTICED A LARGE BLISTER POPPING OUT FROM THE BEAD RIM AREA.I NOTIFIED FIRESTONE MONTH DAY YEAR WERE THERE ANY DEATHS OR INJURIES? YES NO WAS THERE A FIRE:YESNO PROPERTY DAMAGE:YESNOABOUT THE DEFECT AND THEY REPLACED THE TIRE HOWEVER I NOTICED ON MY RECEIPT THEY WROTE THE WRONG DOT PLUG INFORMATION DOWN ON TWO OF THE TIRES ONE BEING THE BAD ONE. I CONTACTED FIRESTONE TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE TIRE AND THEY SAID IT WAS FROM AN IMP 1057 CHARACTERS REMAINING FOR DESCRIPTIONACT. I KNOW THAT THIS IS TOTALLY UNTRUE SINCE I WORKED IN THE INDUSTRY FOR OVER 20 YEARS. IT WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT RIPPED THE BEAD AND NOT MY FAULT. THE TIRE WAS SO BAD THAT IF I HAD AN IMPACT THAT BAD IT WOULD HAVE EFFECTED BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR AS WELL AS DAMAGING THE RIM.I HAD MY LOCAL MECHANIC CHECK IT AND HE CONFIRMED WHAT I SAID AND WAS AMAISED I MADE IT HOME WITHOUT BLOWING OUT. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A DEFECT THEY NEVER OFFERED ANY COMPENSATION THAT I WAS LUCKY NOR REPLACED THE OTHER TIRE WITH THE WRONG DOT PLUG.I F NEEDED I HAVE SEVERAL PICTURES TO PROVE MY CASE. ALSO WHAT IS THE LIKLEYHOOD OF GETTING TWO TIRES WITH THE WRONG DATES? I THINK THEY FORGOT TO CHANGE THE PLUG WHEN THEY SHOULD HAVE AND THEY GOT OUT IN THE FIELD. I HAVE TRIED SINCE JUNE TO SEE WHAT THEY COULD DO FOR ME COMPENSATION WISE LIKE A NEW SET OF TIRES BUT THE REP I SPOKE TO DID NOTHING SO I TOLD HIM MY NEXT RESORT WAS TO REPORT THIS INCIDENT TO YOUR AGENCY AND PAY WHATEVER FINES APPLICABLE. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATIOM WITH THIS MATTER.

VEHICLE STARTED WITH A WHINING NOISE WHICH EVENTUALLY WAS FOLLOWED BY LOSS OF SPEED/POWER. ACCELERATION AFTER STOPPING WAS REDUCED TO A CRAWL, ALSO GRINDING NOISES AND SHAKING AND VEHICLE WANTING TO STALL. I AM NOW UNABLE TO DRIVE AS I AM FEARFUL OF DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES. THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW AND STILL OWE $6500, AND A NEW TRANSMISSION RUNNING APPROX $3000 THE EXPENSE DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. NISSAN KNOWINGLY SOLD VEHICLES TO CONSUMERS TO FILL THEY'RE POCKETS PUTTING ALL AT RISK AND FAIL TO SUPPORT THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT!

MY CAR HAD A LOST POWER DRIVING BACK FROM ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK AND I WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF MY CAR IT STARTED UP AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT BACK SAFE BUT I THINK IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE CVT. I REALLY SUCKS AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR RIGHT NOW.

"DEFECTIVE CVT TRANSMISSIONS" I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND TO HAVE A LIGHT KNOCKING COMING FROM SOMEWHERE IN ENGINE CHECKED. I PAID FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD THAT I FELL UNDER THE RECALL BUT NOT WITH CURRENT MILEAGE 131,099. I WAS TOLD I HAD TO PAY TO REPLACE CVT TRANSMISSION. I HEAR THE NOISE ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION NOT WHEN IT'S STATIONARY.

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON IN CAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO NISSAN THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION. THEY RESET IT AND TOLD ME THE AIRBAG WOULD DEPLOY IF THE PASSENGER HAD THEIR SEATBELT ON. I HAD A PASSENGER IN THE CAR WITH THEIR SEATBELT ON AND THE WARNING LIGHT THAT STATES #2 PASSENGER AIRBAG IS DEACTIVATED. NISSAN HAD TOLD BE BEFORE THEY RESET THE SENSOR THAT IT WOULD COST $1000 TO REPLACE THE CUSHION WITH THE SENSOR IN IT. I DONT KNOW IF I BELIEVE THE CAR OR NISSAN, WILL THE AIRBAG DEPLOY OR NOT. I DONT HAVE $1000 TO REPLACE CUSHION AND WHEN I CONTACTED NISSAN THEY TOLD ME SORRY YOUR CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND THERE IS NO RECALL OUT FOR THIS AIRBAG. I DONT FEEL SAFE DRIVING A PASSENGER IN MY CAR NOT KNOWING IF THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY OR NOT. I DO NOT WANT ANYONE GETTING HURT OR WORSE. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO?

THE CURRENT AIRBAG FAULT IS THE EXACT SAME AS THE LATE MODEL ROGUE SEAT CUSHION SWITCH FAULT RECALL, BUT OUR MODEL VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. WE WERE STONE WALLED AT CAR PRO'S BURIEN NISSAN IN WASHINGTON STATE. THEY WERE HAPPY TO OFFER A $2000 FIX EVEN THOUGH IT HAPPENED AFTER ONLY 8K MILES. WE WERE APPALLED AT THEIR CALLOUS DISREGARD FOR OUR SAFETY ESPECIALLY SINCE WE BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. IT WAS A LITTLE WHILE BEFORE WE WERE ABLE TO ABLE TO GET IT INTO THE DEALER DUE TO HEAVY BUSINESS TRAVEL AT THE TIME. BASICALLY WE HAVE BEEN FORCED TO DRIVE AROUND A CAR WITHOUT FUNCTIONING AIRBAGS FOR YEARS NOW WHILE WAITING FOR THE RECALL TO EXTEND TO OUR VEHICLE!

"TAKATA RECALL" I BOUGHT A NISSAN ROGUE IN 2008. SOON AFTERWARD THE SENSOR WENT OFF TO TELLS US THE THE PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG WAS OFF. THAT LIGHT HAS STAYED ON EVER SINCE. ABOUT EIGHT YEARS AGO, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING. WHEN I TOOK IT TO NISSAN, THE TECHNICIAN SAID THE SENSOR IN THE SEAT WAS FAULTY, AND IT WOULD COST OVER $500 TO FIX. I THOUGHT THAT WAS TOO MUCH, AND I THOUGHT IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE DEALER, BUT THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT. IT'S BEEN BROKEN/FLASHING EVER SINCE. WHEN THE RECALL FOR TAKATA AIRBAGS BEGAN, I RECOGNIZED THAT MY CAR WAS SUFFERING FROM THE COMMON COMPLAINTS ABOUT FAULTY AIRBAGS, AND SINCE PEOPLE WERE DYING I WAS CONCERNED. I CHECKED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT 2008 ROGUES WERE PART OF THE RECALL, SO I AGAIN TOOK MY CAR TO NISSAN, BUT THEY SAID MY PARTICULAR CAR WAS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL, THOUGH MANY 2008 ROGUES WERE. I THEN CALLED NHTSA'S VEHICLE HOTLINE, AND THE PERSON RECOMMEND I CALL A CORPORATE NISSAN NORTH AMERICAN NUMBER (1-800-647-7261). I TALKED TO A NICE WOMAN WHO SAID SHE WOULD TURN IN MY COMPLAINT AND SOMEONE WOULD GET BACK TO ME THE NEXT DAY. A MAN CALLED AND WAS AGAIN TOLD THAT MY ROGUE WAS NOT IN THE RECALL AND THAT NISSAN, THEREFORE, WOULD NOT COVER THIS PROBLEM. I'M PARTICULARLY WORRIED AS I LIVE IN HAWAII, WHICH IS VERY MOIST, AND THIS SEEMS TO INCREASE THE RISK OF THE AIRBAG GOING OFF. WHETHER IT'S A TAKATA ARIBAG OR NOT, THIS WAS CLEARLY A FAULTY PRODUCT, SO I FEEL IT SHOULD BE FIXED BY THE DEALER.

MY MOTHER IN LAW WAS DRIVING ON WEDNESDAY LAST AT AROUND 35 MPH. IT WAS RAINING AND FOR NO APPARENT REASON THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER THAT THIS WAS DUE TO A COLLISION EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO COLLISION. THE CAR DOESN'T HAVE A DENT ON IT ANYWHERE. THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT THE UNDERSIDE OF THE CAR WAS "ALL BEAT UP". HAVING BEEN AN ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC, I DON'T RECALL ANY AIRBAG SENSORS UNDERNEATH THE CAR. THEY ARE MAKING HER INSURANCE PAY TO CORRECT IT.

I HAD A NISSAN ROGUE CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUE LAST YEAR. OUR CAR HAD MULTIPLE ACCELERATION ISSUES THAT WE GOT LUCKY WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY ACCIDENTS. ONE OF MANY ISSUE WAS ON LABOR DAY WEEKEND WE DECIDED TO GO ON A VACATION TO RELAX AFTER DAYS AND WEEKS OF HARD WORK AT THE OFFICE. AGAIN OUR VACATION WAS CUT SHORT. IT TOOK US 6 HOURS TO DRIVE A 2.5 HOUR DRIVE. I HAD TO STOP, LET THE TRANSMISSION COOL DOWN AND DRIVE AGAIN WITH A SPEED OF LESS THAN 50MPH SOMETIMES TAKING THE STREETS TO KEEP THE SPEED DOWN. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, UNDER WARRANTY, THEY WANTED TO DO A FEW MINOR SERVICES. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD FIXED THE PROBLEM AND THAT THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY MORE ISSUES. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND AGAIN. FINALLY, I OPENED A CASE THROUGH NISSAN AND GOT MY CAR A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION HAS STARTING PROBLEMS AGAIN AND I AM REALLY TIRED OF THIS. I GOT A CALL FROM MY WIFE THIS MORNING THAT SHE WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. SHE HAD LOSS OF ACCELERATION RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION AS THE LIGHT TURNED RED AND AND CARS FROM THE OTHER SIDE STARTED TO GO STRAIGHT TO HER HONKING THEIR HORN. SHE SAID THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE AND FINALLY STARTED TO MOVE VERY SLOWLY. SHE WAS TERRIFIED AND CRYING. I AM REALLY TIRED OF THIS AND REALLY ITS UNACCEPTABLE. OUR ROUGE IS OUR ONLY CAR AND MY WIFE DRIVES IT TO AND FROM WORK AND IT IS AT THIS POINT THAT I CAN NOT ACCEPT THIS ISSUE ANYMORE, IT IS A DANGER TO MY FAMILY. I HAVE HAD IT WITH THIS CAR.

IT RAN OUT OF FUEL WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. THE GAS GUAGE SAYS THERES STILL HALF TANK. ROAD SERVICE ADDED GAS AND IT STARTED. UNTIL NOW THE GAS GUAGE IS STILL NOT GOING DOWN AS I DRIVE FOR MORE THAN 50 MILES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE CAUSE IT COULD RUN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.

ON AN OUT OF TOWN TRIP TO HEREFORD TEXAS FROM FT. WORTH TX., VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 60 MPH HALFWAY TO MY DESTINATION. AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. TRANSMISSIONS IS ACTING UP AGAIN AFTER 40K MILES AND CANT BE TRUSTED TO BE ON THE ROAD AS THE YOU CAN STEP ON THE GAS ALL THE WAY AND SPEED WILL NOT EXCEED 60 MPH. IT SEEMS TO MESS UP WHEN ON LONGER DRIVES OF OVER 30 MINUTES WHEN THE TRANSMISSION GETS HOT.
