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.

MY GAS GAUGE IS NOT READING PROPERLY SO ANY TIME MY TANK IS BELOW HALF FULL IT DISPLAYS RANDOM INACCURATE LEVELS. THERE ARE RECALLS ON MANY OTHER MODELS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM AND THE ROGUE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *TR

WHEN GOING OVER 60 MILES AN HOUR, USUALLY ABOUT AN HOUR INTO A LONG DRIVE, THE NISSAN ROGUE WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THE RPM INDICATOR GOES HAYWIRE AND MY FOOT IS COMPLETELY DOWN ON THE PEDAL BUT THERE IS NO ACCELERATION. THIS FIRST HAPPENED IN AUGUST 2012 WHEN I WAS DRIVING OVER A MOUNTAIN TO GET TO THE DESERT SO I THOUGHT THE CAR WAS OVERHEATING. SINCE THEN THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING CONSISTENTLY WHENEVER I DRIVE FOR OVER AN HOUR (WHICH I OFTEN DO FOR WORK). AT TIMES, THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD IF IT IS AT A STOPLIGHT EVEN WHEN MY FOOT IS COMPLETELY ON THE FLOOR. THEN IT REVS UP AFTER A MINUTE BUT NOT BEFORE EVERYONE ELSE STARTS HONKING. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU ARE ON THE FREEWAY AND SUDDENLY YOUR CAR STOPS ACCELERATING. ALL THE CARS BEHIND YOU START PASSING YOU BUT IT WILL ONLY TAKE ONE CAR NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO CAUSE A HUGE ACCIDENT, INJURY OR DEATH AND THEN NISSAN WILL BE IN REAL TROUBLE. I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF INCIDENCES AND COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER NISSAN ROGUE DRIVERS OVER THE PAST COUPLE YEARS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON I-25, MY CAR SET ON CRUISE CONTROL AT 75 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY THE SPEED DROPPED TO 45 MPH IN A MATTER OF SECONDS - WITHOUT WARNING. I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR BUT IT DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. THERE WAS ALSO A WHINING SOUND LIKE THE CAR WAS WORKING EXTRA HARD. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY; FORTUNATELY, THERE WERE NO CARS BEHIND ME. I WAS CONFUSED AND DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED SO I SAT THERE A FEW MINUTES THINKING THE CAR OVERHEATED. I THOUGHT I WOULD GIVE IT A CHANCE TO COOL DOWN. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES, I PUT MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON AND GOT BACK ON THE ROAD. I KEPT THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON AND DROVE SLOWER TO SEE IF IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. IT SEEMED TO BE OKAY AS LONG AS WE DIDN'T HAVE TO GO UP HILL AND I KEPT MY SPEED DOWN, I TESTED IT ALONG THE WAY. UPON TAKING IT IN TO NISSAN FOR INSPECTION, THEY THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO TOO MUCH TRANSMISSION FLUID, PUT IN AT THE FACTORY, SO THEY REMOVED SOME. AFTER A COUPLE MONTHS I GOT BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME NISSAN REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. I DON'T FEEL SAFER, AS I UNDERSTAND THIS CVT PROBLEM OCCURS IN MOUNTAINOUS AREAS, SUCH AS COLO. I HAVE ALSO READ BLOGS FROM PEOPLE WITH 08 & 09 ROGUES THAT HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AND IT WENT OUT AGAIN, NOT ALWAYS RIGHT AWAY. DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS THEN QUICKLY LOSING SPEED WITH NO INDICATION (BRAKE LIGHTS) TO THE DRIVERS BEHIND IS WITHOUT QUESTION A POTENTIALLY DEADLY SITUATION. I STILL FEAR IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I WON'T DRIVE MY ROGUE IN MOUNTAINOUS AREAS AND STAY AWAY FROM HIGHWAYS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. I PURCHASED THIS ROGUE WITH THE EXPECTATIONS IT WOULD TAKE ME WHERE I NEED TO GO SAFELY. I HAVE ASKED NISSAN TO SWITCH VEHICLES WITH ME - ASKING FOR A MODEL THAT DOESN'T HAVE SAFETY ISSUES. THEY REFUSED. *TR

SO SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WOULD DEACTIVATE WHEN SAT IN. AS WAS THIS A VERY INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AND WOULD NOT DO IT WHEN WE HAD TIME TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER THE CAR NOW HAS 30,000 MILES ON IT AND NOW WHEN NOBODY IS SITTING IN THE SEAT THE AIR BAG STAYS ON AT ALL TIME, AND WHEN SAT IN IT DEACTIVATES. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AT 29,000 MILES AND THEY SAID DUE TO THE AGE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND IT WOULD COST A LOT OF MONEY TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SEAT CUSHION. THEY SAW I HAD MY IPHONE ON THE SEAT AND SAID THAT IS PROBABLY THE REASON FOR THE FAILURE. OK SO A PRESSURE SWITCH IS HURT BY A PHONE? I SEE THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2008 UNITS AND WONDER IF THIS SHOULD APPLY TO 2009 AS WELL AS THIS AIR BAG NOT DEPLOYING MY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY. IT IS NOW MAY 2013 AND THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN NOW VERIFIED BY THE DEALER AND UNDER 36000 MILE WARRANTY, WHY IS THERE NOT A LONGER WARRANTY ON SUCH A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE? *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND A USED CAR WITH 82K MILES ON IT. AROUND CHRISTMAS I WAS ON MY WAY FROM MODESTO, CA ON THE I-80 BACK TO RENO, NV. I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL SET TO 70 AND WHILE GOING UPHILL THE CRUISE CONTROL SHUT OFF AND I BEGAN LOOSING SPEED REALLY FAST. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR BUT THERE WAS NOTHING. I HAD THE PEDAL FLOORED AND YET I KEPT LOOSING SPEED. AT FIRST IT HAPPENED ONLY ON HILLS, NOW IT'S HAPPENING ON FLAT LAND. I'VE ALSO NOTICED THAT GOING FROM A STOP TO GO POINT MY CAR ALMOST STALLS AS IF IT WERE A MANUAL, IT'S AUTOMATIC. I'VE ALMOST GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT A FEW TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM SAYS THEY, "CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM," SO I'M DRIVING AROUND THIS CAR HOPING FOR THE BEST UNTIL IT GETS WORSE AND ACTUALLY CAUSES AND ACCIDENT OR UNTIL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I DID RESEARCH AND THE SYMPTOMS FROM OTHER ROUGE OWNERS SIMILAR TO MY SYMPTOMS, ALL ENDED UP IN NEW TRANSMISSIONS... *TR

A HIGH-PITCHED WHIRRING SOUND MANIFESTED ITSELF WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, FOLLOWED BY A GRINDING SOUND, ALL COMING FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE TOWARDS THE REAR END. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC, WHO TOOK IT ON A TEST DRIVE. HE ALSO HAD ANOTHER MECHANIC DO THE SAME. BOTH DIAGNOSED IT AS A TRANSFER CASE FAILURE. I THEN TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER. AFTER THE TECH DROVE IT AND INSPECTED THE REAR END, IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A REAR DIFFERENTIAL THAT HAD FAILED. THE CAR ONLY HAS 74,300 MILES ON IT AND IS NOT USED FOR TOWING OR ANY OTHER SIMILARLY-DEMANDING ACTIVITIES. AT THE 50,000 MILE MARK THERE WAS A TRANSMISSION LEAK THAT ANOTHER NISSAN DEALER HAD TO FIX UNDER WARRANTY, BUT ONLY AFTER I CONTACTED NISSAN USA CONSUMER AFFAIRS. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO END TO THE ISSUES WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL CONCERNING THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND RELATED POWER-TRAIN COMPONENTS. IT IS PAST TIME FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO LOOK INTO THE HIGH RATE OF FAILURES WITH THESE MODELS. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A REASON NISSAN HAD TO MAKE A SPECIAL EXTENSION ON THE POWER TRAIN, DOUBLING THE LENGTH AND MILEAGE LIMIT. UNFORTUNATELY, THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS NOT PART OF THE POWER TRAIN AND I MUST PAY $2, 121 OUT OF POCKET FOR THE NECESSARY REPAIRS. *TR

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD OCCASIONALLY COMES OFF INDICATING DEACTIVATION WHILE THE SEAT IS OCCUPIED AND WHILE DRIVING OR STOPPING. PASSENGERS (ME OR MY WIFE USUALLY) ARE ABOUT 119 POUNDS AND USUALLY SET IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEAT. THE DEACTIVATION LIGHT WOULD SOMETIMES STAY ON THEN OFF WHILE DRIVING OR UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. NISSAN HAS CHANGED THE CAR FRONT SEAT CUSHION ON 24APRIL2010. THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS MORE OFTEN THAN BEFORE. I CONTACT NISSAN ([XXX]). NISSAN REP WOULD NOT RETURN MY CALL.[XXX]ASKED ME TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEAL FIRST THEN CALL HIM BACK. I DID AND LEFT MANY MESSAGES. I GOT NO REPLY BACK. I WANT THIS ISSUE FIXED BEFORE WARRANTY IS OVER. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE HELP ME. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

CAR SPUTTERED, LURCHED, AND CAME TO A STOP ON US 190 HIGHWAY. IT REFUSED TO START AND APPEARED TO BE OUT OF GAS. HOWEVER, THERE WAS STILL 1/2 TANK AND TRIP ODOMETER AGREED WITH THE GAUGE. CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THE SOLE ISSUE WAS FOUND TO BE THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR, WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO ONLY AFFECT THE GAS MILEAGE. THE TOTAL COST WAS $700. AN ECONOMY DEVICE THAT CAN CAUSE SUDDEN FAILURE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. SOMETHING APPEARS TO BE WRONG WITH NISSANS CPU CODE FOR THIS VEHICLE. NO WARNING MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE DASH AT ANY TIME. *TR
Power train, Oct 2, 2012
A FEW MONTHS PRIOR TO MY TRANSMISSION FULLY BREAKING DOWN, I WAS EXPERIENCING EPISODES WHERE MY ROGUE WOULD LOSE ACCELERATION EVEN AS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS PRESSED AS FAR DOWN AS IT COULD. MAINLY THESE EPISODES WOULD OCCUR AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT. I WOULD BEGIN TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATOR NOR WOULD THE RPM'S INCREASE. SUDDENLY, THE "ENGINE" WOULD KICK IN AND I WAS QUICKLY AND FORCEFULLY PROPELLED FORWARD. THERE WERE A FEW EPISODES THAT OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THESE EPISODES WERE MORE FRIGHTENING AND THEY PLACED ME IN A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION OF BEING REAR-ENDED AT HIGH SPEEDS. THEN ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2012, MY FAMILY WAS LEAVING A VACATION TRIP AND HEADING HOME ON OUR 3+ HOUR DRIVE. NOT 2 MINUTES ON THE ROAD DID WE EXPERIENCE VERY LOUD GRINDING, CLUNKING AND ODD BEHAVIOR FROM OUR VEHICLE AS IT ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT GEARS. THIS NOISE/FEELING SEEMED TO MINIMIZE AS WE DROVE OVER 40 MPH UNTIL IT SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER. WE HAD TO ATTEMPT TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH OUR HAZARDS ON, AND THANK GOODNESS NO ONE WAS DRIVING BEHIND US OR I AM AFRAID WE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON A NORTHERN WISCONSIN HIGHWAY. SINCE THIS OCCURRED ON A SUNDAY AT 7:00 AM, WE DID NOT HAVE ANY POSSIBILITY TO TAKE IT TO A NISSAN DEALER OR TO RENT A VEHICLE TO GET HOME. WE WERE FORCED TO CONTACT A FAMILY MEMBER WHO GRACIOUSLY HAD A TRAILER AND DROVE THE 3+ HOURS TO GET US AND THEN TURN AROUND AND TOW US THE 3+ HOURS HOME. AFTER INSPECTION ON THE VEHICLE AT THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP, WE WERE INFORMED OF THE ISSUES AND EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I AM STILL FEARFUL OF WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO MY FAMILY. IT APPEARS THAT MANY PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE HAVE HAD THEIR TRANSMISSION REPLACED 2-3 TIMES. I FULLY SUPPORT A CVT RECALL!!!! *TR

I WAS DRIVING FROM BALTIMORE TO PHILADELPHIA IN JUNE OF THIS YEAR. AFTER ABOUT 1 HOUR OF HIGHWAY DRIVING MY 2009 NISSAN ROGUE STARTED TO STALL AS I REDUCED SPEED TO GET ON THE RAMP OF ANOTHER HIGHWAY. I WANTED TO PICK UP SPEED IN ORDER TO MERGE ONTO THE NEXT HIGHWAY, BUT MY CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND. I HAD PUSHED THE ACCELERATING PEDAL TO THE METAL AND IT STILL WAS NOT RESPONDING OR RATHER GOING AT 40MPH. I EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND STOPPED THE ENGINE, TO GIVE IT A REST, BUT AS I PROCEEDED THE CAR STILL STALLED. I ENDED UP HAVING IT TOWED FROM MY HOTEL TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP LOCATED 6723 ESSINGTON AVENUE PHILADELPHIA, PA 19153. I WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS TOPPED OFF BUT THEY DID NOT SEE A LEAK. I DROVE THE CAR BACK TO BALTIMORE THE NEXT DAY, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN RECURRING. I HAVE HAD MANY NEAR MISSES) IS NISSAN WAITING TO HAVE FATALITIES IN ORDER TO REACT? I DO NOT WISH TO BE A STATISTIC. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, MY 2009 NISSAN ROGUE BEGAN OVERHEATING. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY MECHANIC WHERE HE FOUND COOLANT IN THE SPARK PLUGS SO REPLACED ALL PLUGS AND CHECKED THE RADIATOR. WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE, IT WOULDN'T START. HE CHECKED IT OVER AGAIN AND SAID THAT IT HAD A BLOWN HEAD GASKET. UNFORTUNATELY, THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY WAS ONLY GOOD FOR 5 YRS/60,000 MILES. I WAS 6,000 MILES OVER THE LIMIT. WHEN NISSAN WAS CONTACTED TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE POWER TRAIN. WHEN I ASKED THEM IF THEY HAD NOTICED A HIGH INCIDENCE OF POWER TRAIN PROBLEMS BEING REPORTED, I WAS TOLD "WELL, YES AND NO." HUH? *TR

VEHICLE WOULD START AND I WAS ABLE TO CHANGE GEARS BUT THESE WILL NOT ACTIVATE. EVEN WHEN ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE IT WILL NOT MOVE. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED. THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENCE; THE FIRST TIME WE EXPERIENCE THIS SITUATION WAS AT THE TIME WE TOOK THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE DEALER. AFTER STOPPING FOR GAS AND STARTING THE VEHICLE AGAIN IT ONLY MOVED FOR ABOUT 5 MINS, THEN STOPPED COMPLETELY. VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND A DIFFERENT VEHICLE PROVIDED (SAME MAKE AND MODEL); NOW THREE YEARS AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT WE HAVE THE SAME SITUATION (SAME SITUATION, TWO DIFFERENT VEHICLES, THREE YEARS TIMEFRAME). WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT CORRECTING THE SITUATION WILL COST BETWEEN $2500-3000. *TR

THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT HAD THE SEAT CUSHION REPLACED HOWEVER, THE REPAIR DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING THE MALFUNCTIONING AIR BAG SENSOR. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO ASSIST THE CONTACT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,448.

THE DRIVER'S, PASSENGER'S AND REAR DRIVER'S DOOR LOCKS DO NOT LOCK/UNLOCK PROPERLY. IT BEGAN WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR FAILING TO OPERATE PROPERLY ONCE EVERY 3-4 WEEKS. I HAD THE DOOR HANDLE RECALL WORK COMPLETED IN MARCH 2011 SO I THOUGHT THE REMOTE'S BATTERY WAS WEAK AND REPLACED IT IN DECEMBER 2011. THEN THE MALFUNCTION STARTED TO OCCUR MORE FREQUENTLY. AFTER A FEW MONTHS, THE DRIVER'S DOOR LOCK WOULD NOT UNLOCK FOR ENTRY TO THE CAR OR LOCK ONCE I WAS INSIDE. TO GAIN ENTRY TO THE CAR, I WOULD HAVE TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S REAR DOOR AND REACH FORWARD TO UNLOCK THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. I HAD THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LOCK REPLACED IN MARCH 2012. NOW THE PASSENGER DOOR IS INOPERATIVE AS WELL AS THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. I MUST GET IN THE CAR AND REACH TO LOCK/UNLOCK THE DOORS FROM THE INSIDE. IF EVER QUICK ENTRY OR EXIT FROM THE CAR IS NEEDED, SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE HARMED. A CHILD IN A CAR SEAT, A PERSON WITH LIMITED MOBILITY OR THE ABILITY TO MAKE A QUICK DECISION IS TRAPPED UNLESS I AM ABLE TO QUICKLY REACH TO LOCK/UNLOCK THE DOORS. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN WHO TELLS ME THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THAT THEY WILL GIVE ME A $500 DEALER ASSISTANCE TOWARDS A $1700 BILL FOR A DEFECTIVE SYSTEM. I FOUND ON THE INTERNET OTHER 2009 ROGUE OWNERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. THE MURANO AND THE JUKE HAVE ALSO BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65-70 MPH. CAME TO A SLIGHT LONG INCLINE ON THE HIGHWAY. IT SLOWED TO 60 MILES PER HOUR WITH THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY PUSHED DOWN. WHEN I CAME TO A REST STOP AND TOOK OFF AGAIN-THE ACCELERATION WAS SLOW TO PICK UP SPEED. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I WAS COMING BACK FROM SEATTLE TO SPOKANE, WA GOING UP THE MOUNTAIN PASS. I COULD NOT GO OVER 30 MILES PER HOUR WITH THE ACCELERATOR PUSHED ALL THE WAY DOWN. IT HAPPENED ON ANOTHER HILL FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD. AGAIN WHEN I STOPPED-THEIR WAS A DELAY IN ACCELERATION. SINCE THIS A COMPANY CAR AND HAVE THE OPTION TO PURCHASE IT AT 80,000 MILES- I WILL NOT. BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO BUY IT AND GIVE IT TO MY DAUGHTER SINCE SHE WILL BE TAKING DRIVER'S EDUCATION THIS YEAR. I FEEL THAT THIS CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIALLY FOR A NEW DRIVER. I WILL NOT BE BUYING A NISSAN IN THE FUTURE FOR MY DAUGHTER. OR ANY OTHER NISSAN. I WILL ALSO LET OUR FLEETS DEPARTMENT KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

AT SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST COMING FROM OUT OF A STOP, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS ABLE TO PUSH THE PEDAL HARD TO GET ACCELERATION AND MANAGED TO REGAIN ACCELERATION. ON 7/9/12, WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT STEADY SPEEDS, I BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN TO SLOWING TRAFFIC, WHEN TRAFFIC PICKED UP I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET ACCELERATION OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I PUNCHED THE PEDAL TO THE FLOORBOARD AND GOT NO ACCELERATION WHATSOEVER. THE RPMS WOULD NOT INCREASE THE OVERDRIVE WOULD NOT RESPOND AND WAS JUST COASTING AT 40 MPH. THIS WAS SUCH A RISK AS I HAD FAST COMING TRAFFIC AND HAD TO PULL TO THE SLOW LANE TO NOT BE A HAZARD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY. THE VEHICLE NEVER REGAINED ACCELERATION AND HAD TO KEEP PEDAL PUSHED TO CONTINUE MOVING. I PROCEEDED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT THE INSISTED THAT SINCE THEY RECEIVED NO COMPUTER ERROR CODES OR COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND NOTICED IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO LOTS OF PEOPLE AND COULD BE SEVERAL POSSIBLE ISSUES. IT SEEMS MOST OF THE CAUSES ARE A RESULT OF LONG DISTANCE DRIVING WHICH I DO 4 TIMES A WEEK AND SOMEHOW RESETS UPON TURNING OFF AND TURNING BACK ON VEHICLE OR VEHICLE COOLING DOWN. THE DEALER "COULD NOT" SPARE THE TIME FOR SOMEONE TO DRIVE IT FOR THAT LONG SO THEY LEFT IT AT THAT.. I FEEL THIS IS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD AND HOPE THAT THIS ISSUE CAN BE DEALT WITH THE MANUFACTURER AS A RECALL. *TR

WE HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON, TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY SAID IT WAS NOTHING. WENT ON A TRIP 200 ISH MILES ON THE WAY HOME I HAD TO PASS A CAR AND WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS NOTHING HAPPENED. I WAS LEFT LOOKING AT ON COMING TRAFFIC AND HAD TO MOVE BACK OVER. NO ACCELERATION AT ALL. SCARED WE WERE GOING TO RUIN IT BY DRIVING ANY LONGER I PULLED OVER. WE HAD LUNCH AND TRIED AGAIN ABOUT AN HOUR LATER IT SEEMED FINE. ABOUT 15 MINS INTO THE DRIVE IT DID THE SAME THING. NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT I BELIEVE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE TRANSMISSION. ALSO YESTERDAY IT RAINED AND NOW THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT HAS COME ON. THE CAR IS FAR TO NEW TO HAVE THESE KIND OF PROBLEMS, AND THEY COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS. *TR

TOOK MY 2009 ROGUE IN NOVEMBER DUE TO FUEL GAGE NOT SHOWING ACCURATE FUEL INTAKE. IT WAS RELEASED THE SAME DAY WITH THEY DIDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. TOOK IT BACK IN DECEMBER BECAUSE THE CAR DIED OUT DUE TO NO GAS BUT FUEL GAGE SHOWED ALMOST HALF TANK (MY 2 YEAR OLD SON WAS ME AND WHEN I CALLED NISSAN THEY SAID TO TOW IT BUT I HAD TO PAY FOR THE TOWING). NISSAN ORDERED THE PART IT CAME IN AND INSTALLED DECEMBER 24 2011 BUT WHEN I TRIED TO FILL TANK UP IT ONLY REGISTERED AT HALF TANK. TOOK THE CAR BACK IN THEY DROPPED THE TANK, EMPTIED THE TANK CHECK THE WIRINGS AND SAID IT WAS FINE THIS WAS IN JAN 4 2012 PICKED CAR UP ON JAN 11 2012 AT FULL TANK. CURRENTLY AS OF TODAY, JAN 17 2012 CAR IS AT 250 MILES BUT FUEL GAGE IS ONLY SHOWING HALF TANK WHEN IS SHOULD BE AT LEAST 3RD BAR TO THE END.
