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.

WHILE DRIVING 2008 NISSAN ROGUE ON HIGHWAY 70 IN NEW MEXICO AT POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED RAPID LOSS OF SPEED AND POWER IN WHICH PRESSING DOWN ON ACCELERATOR HAD NO EFFECT ON VEHICLE. PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT VEHICLE OFF. INSPECTED VEHICLE FOR ANY OBVIOUS SIGNS OF SOURCE OF MALFUNCTION. RESTARTED VEHICLE AFTER 20 MINUTES AND RESUMED TRAVEL WITH NO ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS ON THIS TRIP. THIS MALFUNCTION HAS REPEATED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS SINCE, WITH MORE REGULARITY TO DATE. SEEMS TO OCCUR MOST OFTEN WHEN DRIVING TO A HIGHER ELEVATION AFTER AN HOUR OR MORE OF CONTINUOUS OPERATION. WHEN MALFUNCTION OCCURS, ENGINE WILL NOT EXCEED 2500-3000 RPMS EVEN WITH GAS PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED. THIS HAPPENED FIRST IN JANUARY 2014 AND I TOOK IT TO NISSAN DEALER IN ALBUQUERQUE WHO SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE WORKED FINE FOR OVER A YEAR AND TWO MONTHS AGO AGAIN STARTED WITH THIS PROBLEM. MALFUNCTION IS INTERMITTENT, BUT RECENTLY MORE FREQUENT. I BROUGHT IT TO A NISSAN DEALER IN LAS CRUCES NM BUT THEY DIDNT HAVE A TRANSMISSION TECH IN THAT DAY. I WAS CHARGED A $120 DIAGNOSTIC FEE AND TOLD THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG BUT TO BRING IT BACK ON A DAY WHEN TRANSMISSION TECH WILL BE IN. ITS AN HOUR AND HALF DRIVE FOR ME EACH WAY. HAVE SINCE READ MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET FROM OTHER OWNERS OF SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THIS PROBLEM.
Power train, Aug 7, 2015
THE CVT (CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION ON MY CAR EXPLODED WHEN THE SEALS FAILED (A DEFECT COMMON TO THESE CARS) GOING ABOUT 60 MPH ON THE WAY THROUGH KANSAS TO COLORADO. IT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AS IT LED TO THE CAR SMOKING AND AN EXTREME LOSS OF SPEED WHILE IN TRAFFIC. NISSAN KNOWS THERE ARE DEFECTS WITH THIS TRANSMISSION AND YET CONTINUE TO PUT THEM IN THE NISSAN ROGUES.

AFTER DRIVING 2.5 - 3HRS OF HIGHWAY DRIVING WOULD NOT ACCELERATE (INCREASE IN SPEED ). I HAVE BEEN IN INTERSECTIONS AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHICH IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE TO TRAVEL TO ALABAMA AND FLORIDA SEVERAL TIMES EACH YEAR FROM MY HOME IN SOUTH CAROLINA AND THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN TRYING TO PASS LARGE16 WHEELER TRUCKS OR JUST KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC FLOW. TO DO THIS WHEN TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OF 65 - 70 MILES PER HR. HAS CONCERNED ME, IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY MATTER. IT COULD EASILY CAUSE A SERIOUS CRASH AND DEATH. ON A RESENT TRIP(JULY /2015) TO ALABAMA ON I-65 TRAVELING AT SPEEDS ON 70+ MY CAR STARTED TO DECELERATE TO DOWN IT WAS NEAR 50 MILES PER HOUR, I PULLED OFF HIGHWAY AND TURNED MY CAR OFF. I HAVE CHECKED TO MAKE SURE IT IS NOT OVER HEATING, WHICH IT IS NOT. THE TEMP. GAUGE IS BELOW THE HALF MARK AND THE RPM GAUGE WILL NOT MOVE PAST 2.5. ALSO, ON THIS TRIP I NOTICED THAT ANY SLIGHT HILL GOING UP IT WOULD HAVE TROUBLE PULLING AND START TO DECELERATE THEN ONCE I GOT UP THIS HILL IT WOULD ACCELERATE TO 80+ MILES PER HR. I HAVE READ QUITE A FEW COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE CONCERNING THE SAME THINGS ARE HAPPENING WHEN TRAVELING LONG HIGHWAY TRIPS . THIS MUST BE TAKEN CARE OF BY NISSAN BEFORE SOMEONE DIES OR SERIOUSLY INJURED.

I'VE HAD THIS ISSUE FOR A COUPLES OF YEARS NOW, MY ROGUE LOSSES POWER AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES OR MORE ON THE HIGHWAY. I'VE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS IN THIS SITE AND ELSEWHERE OF WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCUR AND HOW IT'S SO HARD REPLICATE BECAUSE THERE'S NO ENGINE LIGHT. I'VE ALREADY REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION IN APRIL 2013 AND NOW MY ENGINE LIGHTS IS ON, TOOK IT TO NISSAN AND THEY SAY IT'S MY TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY. I JUST HIT 126,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND OF COURSE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRES AT 120,000. NISSAN NEEDS TO SERIOUSLY CONSIDER A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT (IF IT HASN'T HAPPEN ALREADY).
Fuel/propulsion system, Jul 10, 2015
THE FUEL SENDING UNIT DOES NOT WORK. I FILL UP THE TANK AND IT DOES NOT READ FULL, AND IT IS UNRELIABLE. I CONTACTED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA AND THEY TOLD ME THE CAR IS NOT SUBJECT TO A RECALL OR WARRANTY EXTENSION SO TOO BAD. THIS IS A 7 YEAR OLD CAR! THIS SHOULDN'T FAIL! ALSO, NISSAN HAS ISSUED RECALLS FOR THE SAME PART FOR THE NISSAN FRONTIER AND ALTIMA, BOTH FOR THE 2008 MODEL YEAR.

ON A ROAD TRIP FROM LOS ANGELES TO LAS VEGAS, ENCOUNTERING NORMALLY HOT TEMPERATURES, AND AFTER SEVERAL HOURS OF DRIVING, THE CAR LOST POWER COULD ONLY ATTAIN SPEEDS OF 50 MPH OR LESS UP HILLS. THIS IS A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER TO THE OCCUPANTS WHEN OTHER CARS ARE EASILY GOING 70 - 75 MPH. IF YOU PULL OFF THE ROAD, THE CARS HAVE A TENDENCY TO LURCH FORWARD AND WITH DANGEROUSLY POOR ACCELERATION. FROM READING THE CAR FORUMS, THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL, WHERE THE CVT TRANSMISSION APPARENTLY OVER-HEATS AND PUTS THE CAR INTO "LIMP" MODE. THE FIX HAS BEEN TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSIONS AND INSTALL AN ADDITIONAL TRANSMISSION COOLER, HOWEVER MANY DEALERS TRY TO CHARGE THE CUSTOMER FOR THE COOLER, AND THE NISSAN FACTORY IS NOW HESITANT TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSIONS EVEN THOUGH THEIR LONGEVITY AND RELIABILITY HAS UNDOUBTEDLY BEEN COMPROMISED IF THE OVER-HEATING PROBLEM WAS EXPERIENCED. THERE SHOULD BE A MANDATORY RECALL DEMANDED BY THE NTSB BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR INJURED DUE TO THIS LACK OF ACCELERATION. THE PROBLEM IS DIFFICULT TO REPRODUCE AT THE DEALER BECAUSE IT INVOLVES A MULTI-HOUR ROAD TRIP AND HILLS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, PLEASE.

AFTER 5 HOURS OF OPERATION, WHILE CLIMING UPGRADE NEAR CHARLOTTE NC, VEHICLE SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR AND LOST POWER. THIS REPEATED OVER A SERIES OF INCLINES FOR THE NEXT 50 MILES AND NEARLY RESULTED IN SEVERAL REAR END ACCIDENTS. DURING THESE INCIDENTS,THE VEHICLE BOTH LOST POWER AND THE CRUISE CONTROL UNEXPECTEDLY SHUT OFF. LOCAL NISSAN DEALER CONFIRMED IT WAS DUE TO A KNOWN HEAT ISSUE WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS, AND AN ADVISORY WAS OUT TO INSPECT AND ADVISE WHEN REPORTED. NISSAN INSTRUCTED AN ADDITIONAL COOLING APPLIANCE BE ADDED TO KEEP THE FLUID COOL SO OPERATION WAS NORMAL. ISSUE IS THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BASED ON ASSUMPTION THAT ANY VEHICLE WILL DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR SEVERAL HOURS AND EVENTUALLY HAVE TO ENCOUNTER RELATIVLY EASY UPGRADES ON OUR HIGHWAYS. TRANSMISSION FAILURE UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES IS INEVITABLE, AND SO WILL BE POTENTIALLY FATAL OR AT LEAST INJURY INDUCING INCIDENTS.

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 08V5210000 WAS ISSUED RECALLING THE 2008 NISSAN ROGUE FOR A FAULTY AIRBAG SENSOR. WHY WHEN I OWN A 2008 ROGUE, AND THE DEALER HAS CONFIRMED THE OCS CONTROL UNIT FAULTY & NOW HAS FAILED, IS NISSAN NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING IT AT THEIR COST? THEY TELL ME IT IS BECAUSE ONLY A CERTAIN SUPPLIER WAS RECALLED EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW THE SAME PART IS THE ONE THAT IS FAULTY IN MY 2008 ROGUE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE AND IT WAS RECALLED ON MY MAKE & MODEL BUT BECAUSE MY VIN # WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL (I.E. NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE COMPLAINED), THEY REFUSE TO OFFER ANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I HAVE A 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WHO RIDES IN THE PASSENGER SEAT FOR 50 MILES TO/FROM SCHOOL EVERYDAY. THIS REPAIR IS $2500! IT IS A FAULTY PART & NISSAN NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING ALL PARTS THAT ARE DEEMED FAULTY AND FAIL. I INFORMED NISSAN THAT (HEAVEN FORBID) IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT & MY DAUGHTER FLIES OUT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD BECAUSE OF A FAULTY AIRBAG SENSOR, YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT IS ON RECORD & A LAWSUIT WILL BE FILED. NISSAN IS FULLY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, AS IS YOUR ORGANIZATION. BUT UNFORTUNATELY YOU LIMIT THESE RECALLS FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE BIG CORPORATIONS INSTEAD OF THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,421.

AIR BAG LIGHT STARTED BLINKING OUT OF NOWHERE. DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT BECAUSE MY SENTRA DID THIS BEFORE TOO, BUT STOPPED. FINALLY BROUGHT IT IN BECAUSE IT WASN'T GOING OFF AND TOLD BY MECHANIC THAT THERE IS A SHORT IN THE SPIRAL CABLE THAT WILL NOT DEPLOY AIR BAG. ELECTRICAL SHORTS CAN ALSO CAUSE FIRES. NISSAN IS REFUSING TO FIX IT BECAUSE IT IS NOT A CURRENT RECALL AND WE ARE JUST PAST WARRANTY NOW - EVEN THOUGH IT STARTED PRE-EXPIRATION. THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE AFFECTED BY MAINTENANCE OR ANYTHING WE COULD'VE DONE WRONG. IT CAUSES A SAFETY ISSUE IN TERMS OF FIRE AND AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. ADDITIONALLY, I WAS ABLE TO SEE MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE WEB. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY ARE ALL USING A TRICK TO GET THE LIGHT OFF, NOT REALIZING THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IF IN AN ACCIDENT OR CAR CAN START ON FIRE.

AFTER DRIVING NEARLY 50 MILES ON THE HIGHWAY, I GOT OFF THE EXIT AND STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN. ONCE IT WAS CLEAR I TRIED TO ACCELERATE BUT DUE TO SOME KIND OF POWER LOSS THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND THE RPM'S DROPPED UNDER 1000. AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE POWER RETURNED TO NORMAL AND I DROVE TO MY ORIGINAL DESTINATION. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS PERSONALLY HAPPENED TO ME IN THIS VEHICLE AND I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT IT SO IT DOES NOT HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE.

FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE FAILED - DOOR COULD NOT BE OPENED. NISSAN HAD ISSUED AN SERVICE CAMPAIGN THAT COVERED REPAIRS IF THE ISSUE HAPPENED BY 72,000 MILES. ISSUE OCCURRED AT 74,000 MILES SO REFUSED TO COVER THE COST. THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE IF I NEEDED TO ESCAPE FROM THE VEHICLE FROM THAT DOOR. DUE TO THE SAFETY ASPECT, NISSAN SHOULD BE ISSUING A RECALL FOR THE LIFETIME OF THE VEHICLE. DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE HAD STARTED TO FAIL AT TIME OF REPAIR AND HAD TO BE REPLACED ALSO. AGAIN, NISSAN REFUSED TO HONOR THE SERVICE CAMPAIGN.

I WAS DRIVING ON I-5 FROM LOS ANGELES TRAVELING ABOUT 65MPH. I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT 55MIN WHEN MY VEHICLE RPM'S STARTED TO INCREASE AND MY MPH'S STARTED TO DECREASE. I TRIED TO PUSH THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TO ACCELERATE BUT JUST THE RPM'S WOULD REV UP AND CAR KEPT LOSING SPEED. I HAD TO PULL OVER VARIOUS TIMES AND LET THE CAR SIT WHILE OFF FOR ABOUT 20-25 MIN BEFORE I COULD DRIVE SAFELY AGAIN. THIS ONLY LASTED FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AT THE MOST BEFORE I WOULD HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN AND HAVE TO PULL OVER TO LET THE CAR SIT FOR A WHILE. ALSO I CHECKED ALL FLUIDS WHEN I PULLED OVER AND EVERYTHING WAS AT OPTIMAL LEVEL AS REQUIRED. THE CAR WAS NOT OVER HEATING EITHER. *TR
