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.

LOOSES POWER AND SLOWS IN FREEWAY TRAFFIC. IF I HAD KNOWN I COULD SEND MY COMPLAINT TO YOU, I WOULD HAVE DONE SO A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WHEN I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO NISSAN USA . WHAT A JOKE THIS AUTO IS! AND WHAT A JOKE NISSAN IS!

WE HAVE STOPPED DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT & UNTIL WE GET A SOLUTION, IN THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS MY NISSAN ROGUE STARTED MAKING TERRIBLE NOISES UNDERNEATH THE ENGINE AREA, LIKE METAL ON METAL SOUNDS. I HAD ASSUMED MAYBE MY CV BOOT NEEDED REPLACED SO I BROUGHT IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION TODAY THAT THE SUB BODY FRAME BUSHINGS ARE COMPLETELY GONE ON 2 SPOTS. IN MY OPINION THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN SHOULD BE A RECALL OUR WARRANTY ITEM WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS

I HAVE A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE SINCE 2012 AND IT JUST CAME TO MY ATTENTION, WHILE I WAS IN PARK, IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN MY 6 YR OLD WAS ASKING MY ABOUT WHAT THE LETTERS NEXT TO THE GEAR SHIFTER MEANT WHEN HE GRABBED THE SHIFTER, ENGAGED THE BUTTON AND PULLED IT DOWN INTO REVERSE WITHOUT ME APPLYING THE BREAK. I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, IT SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE THAT. I THOUGHT MAYBE I HAD A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE THAT I MIGHT NOT HAVE KNOWN ABOUT, SO I LOOKED IT UP AND THERE WAS NOTHING FOR MY VEHICLE. HOWEVER FOR THE 2015 MODELS, SOME OF THEM DID HAVE A RECALL FOR A ROLLAWAY PROBLEM. I CALLED MY DEALER AND ASKED THEM ABOUT MY PROBLEM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE PROBLEM UNLESS I WANTED TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND FOR THEM TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. I LOOKED UP THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS AROUND A $700 FIX. IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2015 MODELS THERE COULD BE A POSSIBLITIY THAT MY VEHICLE COULD HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

I BOUGHT THE CAR USED, TO GET TO WORK AND THE MANY DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT THAT I CURRENTLY HAVE (I AM BREAST CANCER SURVIVOR WITH A LOT OF SIDE EFFECTS). WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING LOCALLY WHEN I PUSHED ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR DIDN'T ACCELERATE. IT HAPPENED JUST FOR A MOMENT AND THE CAR DROVE FINE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME SO I HOPED IT WAS ONE TIME THING. A DAY OR TWO LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN, TELLING ME THAT THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WASN'T RANDOM. THAT'S WHEN I RESEARCHED THE SYMPTOMS AND SAW I WASN'T ALONE. THAT'S WHEN I ALSO LEARNED THAT NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY. I FOUND OUT I WAS OVER THE MILEAGE, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY I BALKED BECAUSE I KNEW OF THE MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE/HAD THIS PROBLEM AND I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A MECHANICALLY DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION. IN THE MEANTIME I'M GENTLY DRIVING THE VEHICLE: SHORT TRIPS, NO HIGHWAYS AND 40 MPH OR LESS. IF WHAT I READ IS TRUE AND THE LOSS OF ACCELERATION (WHICH HAPPENED A THIRD TIME WITHIN JULY) IS THE CAR GOING INTO SAFE MODE THEN I'LL DO WHAT I CAN TO AVOID AGGRAVATING THE VEHICLE UNTIL I TAKE IT IN FOR THE NEW TRANNY COOLER. I REALLY HOPE THIS RESOLVES MY PROBLEM. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ON THE CVT I FOUND OUT THAT THEY ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR ISSUES AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WENT INTO PLACE. OF COURSE I AM OVER BY 30,000 BUT I SAW THAT IF YOU ARE OVER YOU SHOULD STILL CONTACT NISSAN. I DID AND STARTED A CLAIM GOT A CALL BACK FROM THE MIDWEST CORPORATE GAY WHO TOLD ME TOO BAD WE CAN NOT HELP. I NEED HELP

CVT CONTINUES TO FAIL. IT WAS REPLACED AT 73K MILES AFTER FAILING; IT NOW IS GOING INTO FAIL SAFE MODE DUE TO OVERHEATING ISSUES. THIS SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON ROGUE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THE 100K WARRANTY WOULD BE FOR THE REPLACEMENT CVT BUT AM NOW BEING TOLD BY DEALER THAT REPAIRS WERE 12K OR 12 MONTHS. CVT IS SHOWING SIGNS OF POOR SHIFTING AND POWER LOSS ON HILLS. FREQUENTLY WON'T START MOVING FOR FEW SECONDS AT TRAFFIC LIGHT. PLEASE HELP WITH RESOLVING THE PROBLEM WITH ALL OF US ROGUE CUSTOMERS/OWNERS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING NOW FOR MONTHS AND I AM WORRIED FOR MY FAMILIES SAFETY. THANKS

THE CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED IN JUNE 2016 WITH 122K MILES, JUST 7 YEARS OLD. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH 4 OTHERS IN THE SUV WHEN THE VEHICLE JERKED MADE A HOWLING NOISE AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE. LUCKY I WAS ABLE TO COAST ONTO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. I WENT TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THE COST WILL BE $3600. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, NISSAN NORTH AMERICAN, AND BBB BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS ARE FAULTY AND MAY NOT BREAK UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NISSAN DOES NOT WANT TO COVER THE COST NOR ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR CVT TRANSMISSIONS. THERE ARE MANY CUSTOMERS ON VARIOUS WEBSITES REPORTING TRANSMISSION FAILURES AND ALL COMPLAINTS ARE SIMILAR- FAILED TRANSMISSIONS AND NISSAN REFUSING TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITHOUT BEING PAID $3000+. IT'S SHOCKING THAT A RECALL HASN'T BEEN DONE FOR THESE TRANSMISSIONS. I'VE ALREADY READ DOZENS OF HORROR STORIES ONLINE OVER THIS. I'M SHOCKED THAT THERE HASN'T BEEN A FATALITY. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE ALL THESE CUSTOMERS GET TOGETHER AND FILE A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST NISSAN.

THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 87,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE AIR CONDITIONER BLEW HOT AIR AND THE DRIVER SIDE BLINKER LIGHT FLASHED RAPIDLY AT TIMES.

THE CVT TRANSMISSION OIL OVERHEATS AT LONG DRIVING PERIODS AND THE TRANSMISSION / CAR GOES INTO LIMP MODE AND THE SPEED DROPS IMMEDIATELY AND SIGNIFICANTLY AND WILL NOT BE DRIVEABLE UNTIL THE OIL COOLS DOWN. VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THIS ONLY HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAYS AT HIGH SPEEDS. ALSO, AFTER THE VEHICLE ENTERS THIS "LIMP MODE", IF YOU EXIT THE HIGHWAY AND STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, THE VEHICLE WILL THEN NOT ACCELERATE PAST 5 MPH FOR A PERIOD OF 30-45 SECONDS. NISSAN KNOWS THAT THIS HAPPENS AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSION. BUT THEY WILL DO NO WORK ON THE WARRANTY BECAUSE THE ISSUE CANNOT BE DUPLICATED BY THE DEALER WHEN THE CAR IS BROUGHT IN, WHICH WILL ALWAYS BE THE CASE BECAUSE THE ISSUE HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER BEING DRIVEN FOR A WHILE. THIS SUDDEN DECELERATION ALMOST GOT ME KILLED BY A SEMI THAT WAS BEHIND ME WHEN MY CAR WENT INTO THIS LIMP MODE WITHOUT WARNING.
Power train, Jun 23, 2016
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO 30 MPH WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. IN 2015, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DIFFERENT DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. THE FAILURE ONLY OCCURRED IN WARM WEATHER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

TRANSMISSION FAILED IN AUGUST 2013 WITH 86K AND WAS REPAIRED BY NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THIS PROBLEM EXISTED ON 2 OCCASIONS WITH ME AND I WAS ALMOST STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE SINCE IT FAILED AS I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE JERKED MADE A HOWLING NOISE AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE. I WAS ABLE TO COAST ONTO THE SHOULDER. DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT ORIGINALS PARTS WERE INSTALLED IN VEHICLE. NOW TRANSMISSION FAILURE IS OCCURRING ONCE AGAIN AND QUITE RECENTLY AFTER GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY THE CAR FAILED TO ACCELERATE AFTER STOPPING FOR A LIGHT. THIS HAS OCCURRED MANY TIMES WITHIN THE MONTH OF MAY AND AS A LONG DISTANCE DRIVER TO AND FROM WORK EVERYDAY, I AM PETRIFIED OF WHAT CAN HAPPEN IF IT STOP SUDDENLY. I WENT TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND ONCE AGAIN THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THE COST WILL BE $4100. NISSAN DOES NOT WANT TO BEAR SOME OF THE COST NOR ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR CARS/ROLLOVERS THAT HAS THE CVT (CONTINUOUS VARIABLE TRANSMISSIONS) MANY CUSTOMERS ON VARIOUS WEBSITES ARE REPORTING TRANSMISSION FAILURES IN NISSAN AS WELL AS ON THE BBB SITE. . ALL COMPLAINTS REPORTED FROM CUSTOMERS ARE SIMILAR- FAILED TRANSMISSIONS. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE TRANSMISSION BELT BREAKS WITH CAUSED A SUDDEN STOP. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO NISSAN NORTH AMERICAN, BBB, AND THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY OFFICE IN MY STATE BECAUSE NISSAN KNOWS THAT THE CVT AT TIMES MAY NOT BREAK UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD. ALTHOUGH, THEY HAS BEEN NO RECALLS THE EVIDENCE TO DATE SUGGESTS THAT CVT TRANSMISSION HAS BECOME A NIGHTMARE FOR ME AS WELL AS FOR OTHER CAR OWNERS. SINCE MY TRANSMISSION FAILED IN 2013, IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION DIDN'T NOT COME OUT BUT WAS OVERHAULED DUE TO THE COST OF REPLACEMENT. I CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT THE MOMENT AND I AM AFRAID OF MY SAFETY.

THE ELECTRICAL UNIT THAT CONTROLS THE PASSENGER AIR BAG, LOCATED IN THE RIGHT PASSENGER SEAT, HAS BEEN FOUND TO BE IN NONWORKING ORDER BY THE DEALER AND DEALER CLAIMS THERE IS NO ACTIVE RECALL REGARDING THAT MALFUNCTION. FOR THE DEALER TO REPLACE SAID PART WOULD COST THE OWNER $2000.

THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! - OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, I FILED A COMPLAINT TO THE NHTSA AND MADE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS TO THE DEALER SERVICE CENTER ABOUT THIS ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE CVT. I COMMUTE EVERYDAY ON THE NJ TURNPIKE. I HAVE TO MAKE STOPS 'TO LET THE ENGINE/CVT COOL OFF' BOTH GOING AND COMING HOME FROM WORK BECAUSE THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE. I BARELY GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER IN HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC. SOMETIMES IF THERE ISN'T AN IMMEDIATE SHOULDER, I HAVE TO GO AT A SPEED OF 5-10 MPH IN HIGH SPEED TURNPIKE TRAFFIC OF 60-80 MPH TO FINALLY GET TO A SHOULDER. I ALREADY REPLACED ONE CVT IN THIS CAR. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2009 WHEN I PURCHASED THIS CAR. NOW I SEE IN 2014 NISSAN CAME UP WITH A 'FIX' TO REPLACE/INSTALL A COOLER KIT AND A TRANS OIL COOLER. THE TWO KITS COST ABOUT $860 WITHOUT INSTALLATION. WHY IS THIS COST PASSED ON TO US THE CONSUMERS? THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN CVT DESIGN. NISSAN SHOULD MAKE GOOD ON THEIR PROMISE TO THE CUSTOMER AND RECALL THE VEHICLES WITH THIS CVT ISSUE TO REPLACE/INSTALL THE NEEDED PARTS WITHOUT MAKING US PAY FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE VEHICLE DESIGN. OH AND I I SAID EARLIER, I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING TO THE DEALER SERVICE CENTER FOR YEARS INCLUDING 2014 AND NONE OF THE SERVICE TECHS EVER MENTIONED THE COOLER KIT FIXES TO ME. THEIR RESPONSE WAS THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING WITH THE CAR. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN AND I TELL EVERYONE I KNOW ABOUT THESE CVT ISSUES. THERE ARE AT LEAST 100+ COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE ABOUT THE CVT. WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO GET A RECALL? WHY DO THE CONSUMERS HAVE TO PAY FOR NISSAN'S FAULTY CVT DESIGN?

THE CVT TRANSMISSION IN THE ROGUE IS KNOWN FOR FAILING. WHEN THE FLUID TEMPERATURE GETS TOO HOT THE VEHICLE WILL GO INTO A LIMP MODE LIMITING ALL POWER. MY ROGUE HAS HAD 4 TRANSMISSIONS IN 85K MILES. I HAVE HAD MY REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION FOR TWO WEEKS AND IT IS ALREADY HAVING SIGNS OF FAILING. I HAVE NEARLY BEEN IN MULTIPLE MAJOR WRECKS BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WILL CUT OUT WHEN TRYING TO ENTER A HIGHWAY OR PULL OUT ACROSS TRAFFIC. THERE ARE MULTIPLE REPORTS OF ACCIDENTS FROM THIS ISSUE BUT NISSAN HAS NOT SAID A WORD. IT HAS THE EXACT TYPE OF FAILURE THE NISSAN PATHFINDER HAD, WHICH JUST HAD A CLASS ACTION PASSED AGAINST IT.
