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.

WE TRAVEL TO ORLANDO WHICH IS A 3 HOUR DRIVE WE GO 4 TIMES A YEAR AND THE ROGUE FAILS ON US AT LEAST 4 TIMES EVERY TRIP. AFTER AN HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY ARE VEHICLE STRUGGLES TO ACCELERATE WE GO FROM 80 TO 60 AND CAR FEELS LIKE IT STRUGGLES WITH THE PEDEL TO THE FLOOR. ALSO WHEN THE AC IS ON AND WE ARE AT A LIGHT THE CAR TRYS TO STALL. AND THE AIRBAGS ARE DEFECTIVE THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOESN'T RECOGNIZE ANYONE IN THE SEAT AND THE ONE ON THE DASH JUST BLINKS. I'M AFRAID THEY WON'T DEPLOY IF IN AN ACCIDENT. FIRST AND LAST NISSIAN WILL EVER BUY. THE LOSS OF ACCELERATION I THINK IS A DEATH WAITING TO HAPPEN BIG HAZARD. WE HAVE THIS VEHICLE FOR THREE YEARS AND SAME PROBLEM FROM DAY ONE
Power train, May 16, 2016
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, CAR WILL LOSE POWER. WE PRESS THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND CAR DECELERATES; THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO POWER. THE LAST INCIDENT OCCURRED 5/13/2016. WE WERE DRIVING AT ABOUT 80MPH; WE WERE ON A FLAT STRETCH OF ROAD AND THE CAR COMPLETELY LOST POWER; SPEED WENT DOWN TO ABOUT 40 MPH. FINALLY REGAINED SPEED ON FLAT STRETCH OF ROAD BUT EVERY TIME WE HIT A SLIGHT INCLINE WE WOULD LOSE POWER. PART OF THE TIME WE WERE ON A TWO LANE HI-WAY AND CARS WERE BACKING UP BEHIND US. THEN, AFTER GOING ALONG WITH NO PROBLEMS FOR A PERIOD OF TIME WE PULLED OF AT AN EXIT. AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN WHEN WE TRIED TO MOVE GAS PEDAL WENT TO THE GROUND AND CAR DID NOT MOVE-THEN IT LURCHED SUDDENLY AND ACCELERATED. LATER IN THE DRIVE-ON A FLAT GROUND GOING 80 MPH CAR LURCHED AND DECELERATED --AS I SAID, THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE; THIS LAST INCIDENT WAS MOST FRUSTRATING AS WE WERE ON A LONG ROAD TRIP AND FEELING VERY UNSAFE
Power train, Vehicle speed control, Engine, Apr 17, 2016
WE HAVE A 2010 NISSAN ROUGE THAT WILL BE DRIVING FINE THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT STARTS DECELERATING TO LESS THAN 70 MPH ON A BUSY INTERSTATE. EVEN TRYING TO PUSH THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN DOES NOT DO ANYTHING. WE PURCHASED THIS NISSAN FOR OUR CHILD TO DRIVE TO COLLEGE BECAUSE WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE SAFE. WE HAVE MAJOR CONCERNS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING EVERY TIME IT IS DRIVEN ON THE INTERSTATE. DOES NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM WHEN DRIVEN JUST LOCALLY. IT ONLY HAS 65K MILES ON IT. THOUGHT NISSAN'S WERE SUPPOSED TO LAST FOREVER AND BE SAFE. DON'T FEEL SAFE SENDING MY CHILD TO COLLEGE IN IT ANYMORE BECAUSE THIS IS HAPPENING SO FREQUENTLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING ON AN INCLINE AT 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO 30 MPH. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.
Power train, Vehicle speed control, Engine, Jan 23, 2016
THE CAR DEVELOPED A PROBLEM WHERE THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AND I NOTICED FLUID LEAKING. TOOK TO DEALER, AND I HAD ADDITIONAL COVERAGE FOR REPAIRS AND BREAK DOWN. THEY TOLD ME THE ENCLOSED TRANSMISSION DEVELOPED A LEAK DUE TO CORROSION. THAT CORROSION DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED, AND IT COST $400.00 TO REMOVE THE PART RATHER THAN REPLACE IT. THE CAR HAS A GRINDING VIBRATING SOUND WHEN DRIVING. THE CVT IS KNOWN TO HAVE THIS ISSUE, AND THE TRANSMISSION IS SEALED SO YOU CAN'T CHECK YOUR FLUID LEVEL AND IT IS REQUIRED TO ONLY USE NISSAN MANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE CVT IS TIED INTO A FAIL SAFE MODE THAT CAN BE ACTIVATED BY HIGH TEMPERATURE IN THE ENGINE. A COOLING KIT HAS BEEN RECOMMENDED BUT I HAVE READ MIXED POSTS AS TO THE DEALERSHIPS CHARGING TO PUT IT INTO THE CAR. THE CAR HAS BEEN KNOWN TO TOTALLY LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING IF IT GOES INTO THIS FAIL SAFE MODE OR WHEN THE CVT JUST FAILS COMPLETELY. WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED TO 10YRS/120000 MILES FOR CVT.
Suspension, Power train, Nov 20, 2015
ALMOST SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR, I FELT WHILE DRIVING THAT THE MOTOR WAS SHAKING AND I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC THAT TOLD ME MUST BE THE AXLE, THEN I TOOK IT TO THE UNIVERSAL NISSAN IN ORLANDO, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOTHING, AND THAT WAS NORMAL IN THE CVT,MOTORS. IT KEPT DOING IT AND I TOOK IT AGAIN TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL, NOTHING WAS FOUND, NOW AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED I TOOK IT FOR A OIL CHANGE AND THEY FOUND THAT THE RIGHT AXLE HAVE TO BE REPLACE ENTIRELY, SINCE THE OIL TRANSMISSION IS LEAKING FROM IT, AND THAT THE PART THAT HOLD THE MOTOR HAVE TO BE REPLACE TOO, SINCE THE BUSHING FELL APART AND IT IS DANGEROUS, I KNOW THERE ARE OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND NISSAN DOESN'T WANT TO FIX IT UNLESS A LOT OF MONEY IS PAID, THEY WERE JUST GIVING EXCUSES SO THE WARRANTY EXPIRED, SO NOW THEY WANT TO CHARGE A LOT. THIS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN RECALLS.
Power train, Nov 12, 2015
AFTER A 30 MINUTES TO 1 HOUR DRIVE ON A HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE DROPS IN SPEED WHEN DRIVING UPHILL. VEHICLE SPEED DECREASES AND STAYS NO MORE THAN 35 MPH; RESULTING IN AN UNSAFE, HAZARDOUS CONDITION. NISSAN DIAGNOSIS FOUND TO BE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO REPLACE IT, P0725 AND U1000, HOWEVER CVT WARRANTY EXTENSION HAS EXPIRED.
Power train, Nov 10, 2015
IN HIGHWAY DRIVING CONDITIONS THE TRANSMISSION WILL OVER HEAT. THE TRANSMISSION THEN GOES INTO SAFE MODE AND DISENGAGES FROM THE ENGINE. THE CAR THEN LOSES POWER. YOU ARE THEN STUCK ON A HIGHWAY WITH TRAFFIC AROUND YOU DOING 70 MPH AND YOUR CAR HAS NO ACCELERATION, NO POWER AND YOU ARE JUST STUCK. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. NISSAN CLAIMS NOTHING IS WRONG.
Power train, Oct 27, 2015
VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHILE DRIVING THE TRANSMITION WAS SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL THAN INTO DRIVE WITHOUT RESPONSE, I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND IT WOULD NOT RESTART, I LET THE CAR REST IT STARTED AFTER ABOUT 20 MIN, ALL OF THIS OCCURED AFTER A LONG TRIP 1.5 HOURS THEN A SHORT BREAK 0.5 -1 HOUR. THIS PROBLEM COULD NOT BE REPLICATED BY THE DEALERSHIP MECHANICS. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED URL FOR SAME TYPE OF COMPLAINTS. HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/NISSAN/ROGUE/2010/DRIVETRAIN/POWER_TRAIN.SHTML

TRANSMISSION MAKES GRINDING NOISE UPON ACCELERATING TO NORMAL SPEEDS FROM COMPLETE STOP, AT TIMES CAR LOSES ACELERATION AFTER DRIVEN ON HIGHWAY/FREEWAY AND COME TO A STOP, CONSTANT SHAKING AND GRINDING/SQUEAKING NOISE FROM TRANSMISSION UPON ACCELERATION.
Power train, Oct 12, 2015
WE PURCHASED THE CAR AS A NEW CAR DEMO. IT HAD ABOUT 5000 MILES ON IT. THE CAR RAN PRETTY GOOD FOR 60/70 THOUSAND MILES AND THEN WE STARTED NOTICING THAT WHEN WE WENT ON LONGER DRIVES(HIGHWAY), THE CAR WOULD GO INTO A "POWERLESS" STATE WHEN YOU STOPPED OR SLOWED DOWN. WE LATER BECAME FAMILIAR WITH THE TERM "LIMP" MODE OR "SAFE" MODE. THE TRANSMISSION GOES INTO THESE MODES WHEN IT IS OVERHEATING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE NO COMPUTER CODES HAD SURFACED FOR THE TROUBLE. THIS VISIT WAS AROUND 80K, WELL UNDER OUR 125000 MILE WARRANTY. THE MOST RECENT TIME WAS 2014 WE WENT OUT OF TOWN AGAIN AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. BEING ABOUT 400 MILES FROM HOME, WE STOPPED AT A LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE AND HAD THEM CHECK THE CODE. THEY TOLD ME THE CLUTCH/TORQUE CONVERTER WAS MAKING A CODE POP UP. WE PRECEDED TO DRIVE HOME AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY. AT THIS POINT WE HAD 119000 MILES ON IT STILL UNDER THE WARRANTY. THECHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF BEFORE WE COULD GET THERE. THE DEALERSHIP ONCE AGAIN SAID NOTHING WAS SHOWING ON THE COMPUTER EVEN THOUGH I TOLD THEM EXACTLY WHAT CODE I HAD LEARNED OF BEFORE RETURNING TO THE SHOP. THEY AGAIN CLAIMED TO NOT BE ABLE TO WORK ON THE CAR WITHOUT THE CODE. I GUESS THEY AREN'T REAL MECHANICS! ANYWAYS, WE NOW HAVE 140000 MILES ON THE CAR AND THE CODE IS PRESENT AGAIN AND ALL NISSAN CAN SAY IS IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY OFFERED TO GIVE US "EMPLOYEE" PRICING ON A NEW CAR BUT COMPLETELY REFUSE TO HELP WITH THE REPAIR. DOESN'T MAKE US FEEL GOOD ABOUT OWNING ANOTHER NISSAN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY FAILED TO ACCELERATE PAST 65 MPH AND THE RPMS WOULD NOT INCREASE PAST 3,000. THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT AND OCCURRED AFTER DRIVING FOR MORE THAN ONE HOUR. THE CONTACT ALSO INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS MORE SEVERE WHILE DRIVING UP AN INCLINE. IN ADDITION, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT RECENTLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

2ND COMPLAINT OF REPEATED ISSUE, SUBSEQUENT OCCURRENCE. 2010 NISSAN ROGUE LOST POWER AND DECELERATED FROM 70 MPH TO APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY, HAZARDS APPLIED HOWEVER VEHICLES APPROACHING HAD TO CHANGE LANES. ON THIS OCCURRENCE A VEHICLE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED. PULLED OFF ROAD AND WHEN ACCELERATOR WAS DEPRESSED ENGINE REVVED TO APPROXIMATELY 2500 RPM WITH NO FORWARD MOTION THEN LURCHED FORWARD RAPIDLY ACCELERATING THEN LOST POWER AGAIN BEFORE RETURNING TO NORMAL OPERATION. NOTE THAT NISSAN DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, INSTRUCTED THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION WARRANTY HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO 120K MILES AND TO BRING TO DEALERSHIP. NISSAN STATES THIS IS THE RESULT OF TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING AND CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ENTER SAFETY (ALSO KNOWN AS LIMP) MODE.
Power train, Jul 27, 2015
WAS DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEED FOR AN HOUR WHEN THE VEHICLE STOPPED RESPONDING TO ACCELERATION. GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND ALLOWED THE CAR TO REST. UPON ANOTHER HOUR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE CAR AGAIN DID NOT RESPOND TO ACCELERATION.
Power train, Other or unspecified, Jul 21, 2015
PULLING AWAY FROM MULTIPLE STOP SIGNS, THE ROGUE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE EVEN WITH PEDAL PRESSED TO FLOOR. PEOPLE WERE HONKING BEHIND ME AND PASSING. HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH GOING THROUGH TRAFFIC CIRCLES TO SLOW DOWN AND YIELD AND THEN TRY TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. ROGUE TOOK SEVERAL MINUTES TO GO UP TO 40MPH. I FINALLY HAD TO PULL OVER INTO PARKING LOT. I TURNED CAR OFF AND WAITED ABOUT 5 MINUTES TO THEN TRY AGAIN. WHEN I TURNED THE ROGUE ON THIS TIME, IT SEEMED TO FUNCTION NORMAL. I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE AT NORMAL SPEEDS AND ACCELERATION THE REMAINDER OF MY TRIP. MY HUSBAND AND OUR MECHANIC WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE READ THAT MANY PEOPLE SEEM TO HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE. VERY DANGEROUS SINCE YOU EXPECT CAR TO MOVE AS YOU PULL INTO TRAFFIC AND IT DOES NOT. THERE WERE NO LIGHTS ON DASH AT TIME OF INCIDENT. I HAVE NOTICED THE VDC & SLIP LIGHT HAS COME ON SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST 2 WEEKS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. INCLUDING TODAY ABOUT 3 HOURS BEFORE THIS ACCELERATION PROBLEM. I HAD BEEN DRIVING TO SEVERAL PLACES THROUGHOUT AFTERNOON WITH CAR SHUT OFF BETWEEN. I WOULD ESTIMATE I DROVE A TOTAL OF 60 MILES OVER A 5 HOUR PERIOD. CAR STARTED ACTING UP DURING THE LAST 30 MINUTES BEFORE MY FINAL DESTINATION. WHEN THIS TOOK PLACE, IT TOOK ME ABOUT 1 HOUR TO GO 17 MILES. NORMALLY IT TAKES ME JUST UNDER 30 MINUTES.

MY 2010 NISSAN ROGUE STOPPED ACCELERATING PROPERLY ON A HIGHWAY. I COULD NOT PROPERLY MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. VERY SCARY!!! I MADE IT HOME AND THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE. IT THEN BEGAN STALLING PERIODICALLY, AND THE ACCELERATION ISSUE CONTINUED. WE NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION AT 78K! FLAGS FORWARD 46K MORE MILES ON REPLACED TRANSMISSION,...THE PROBLEM REAPPEARED AND WAS WORSE! NISSAN WON'T REPLACE THIS ONE AND WAS VERY RUDE, UNPROFESSIONAL AND WON'T SEMI THE PROBLEM AND SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THIS WAS MY THIRD NISSAN, BUT MY OTHER TWO WERE MURANOS AND NEVER HAD AN ISSUE. MY EXPERIENCE HERE WAS SO SCARY AND SO DISAPPOINTING WITH NISSANS DISMISSAL OF THIS SERIOUS ISSUE THAT WE WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER AND WILL TELL ALL OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY TOO. YOU SHOULD NOT BUY FROM NISSAN AS THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS!
Power train, Jul 7, 2015
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE CAUSED THE VEHICLE NOT TO ACCELERATE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,000.
Power train, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Jul 6, 2015
AFTER DRIVING ABOUT AN HOUR, THE CVT NO LONGER WORKS AND THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE, EVEN IF YOU PUT THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. IT WILL NOT GO ABOVE 2,000 RPMS AND IF YOU GO UP A HILL YOU WILL LOSE ACCELERATIONS. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY AFTER AN HOUR OR MORE OF DRIVING. THE ONLY WAY TO TEMPORARILY FIX THE ISSUE IS TO TURN THE CAR OFF FOR A WHILE. IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED MAJOR ACCIDENTS ON THE HIGHWAY.

VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING 70 ON THE INTERSTATE ON CRUISE CONTROL WHEN THE SPEED SUDDENLY DROPPED 20 - 30 MPH AND THE ENGINE STARTED RACING FORCING US TO PULL THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE IDLED PROPERLY THEN DROVE PROPERLY THE REMAINDER OF THE TRIP. THIS SCENARIO HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES, ALL BUT ONE WHILE ON CRUISE CONTROL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE ISSUE IN NISSAN SERVICE BULLETIN NTB14-002A:::---- 2008-2012 NISSAN ROGUE; REDUCED PERFORMANCE DUE TO CVT FLUID TEMPERATURE PROTECTION LOGIC THE MAXIMUM VEHICLE SPEED IS, OR WAS, REDUCED BY THE CVT FAIL-SAFE LOGIC AFTER CONTINUOUS OPERATION UNDER THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: 1)HIGH RPM AND/OR HIGH SPEED DRIVING (RPM OF 4000+ OR SPEEDS OF 65 MPH [104.6 KM/H] FOR 1.0 ? 1.5 HRS. OR MORE) 2)DRIVING IN AMBIENT TEMPERATURE OF 96 DEGREES OR HIGHER 3)CLIMBING STEEP OR EXTENDED HILLS FOR 6 MILES (9.6 KM) OR MORE 4)WHINE OR RATTLE TYPE NOISE OCCURRING DURING REDUCED ENGINE PERFORMANCE (VEHICLE SPEED DECREASE) ---- NISSAN HAS A KNOWN AND INTENTIONAL ISSUE IN THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM WHILE OPERATING UNDER SOME VERY NORMAL CONDITIONS. NISSANUSA CONSUMER AFFAIRS INITIALLY TOLD ME THAT THE WARRANTY HAD BEEN EXTENDED FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THE PROBLEM WOULD BE COVERED. THEY HAVE SINCE INDICATED THAT THE REPAIR FOR THIS ISSUE (ADDING AN EXTERNAL COOLING MECHANISM TO THE TRANSMISSION) IS NOT COVERED BY THE EXTENDED THE WARRANTY... LOOKING FOR SOME SANITY HERE. NISSAN NEEDS TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION (DESIGN?) PROBLEM UNDER THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY....UPDATED 09/11/15 *BF

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 75 MPH ON A HOT DAY 90 DEGREES. I WAS USING MAX A/C. CAR WAS FINE AND SUDDENLY FELT SLUGGISH AND WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. I PULLED OFF AT NEXT AVAILABLE EXIT, AFTER A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR REFUSED TO MOVE THEN SUDDENLY ACCELERATED SLOWLY SIMILAR TO WHEN AN ABRUPT BRAKE IS APPLIES AND CAR MOVES VERY SLOWLY (EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITION ALL THE ROUGES HAVE) I SHUT OFF THE A/C AND LET CAR REST FOR 5 MINUTES THEN GOT BACK ON THE HIGHWAY, ALTHOUGH FEELING SLUGGISH I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION. ON MY RIDE HOME SEVERAL HOURS LATER I DID NOT USE A/C AND OUTSIDE TEMPS HAD DROPPED TO MID 70, THE CAR APPEARED FINE. I WILL NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM ALSO OCCURRED 2 YEARS EARLIER IN THE SUMMER OF 2013 AT 87,000 MILES DURING ANOTHER LONG HIGHWAY TRIP DRIVING IN HIGH TEMPS. IN THIS CASE I CANCELLED TRIP AND BROUGHT CAR TO THE DEALER AFTER COOL DOWN PERIOD, THE PROBLEM DIDN'T PRESENT ITSELF, NO DASH LIGHTS OR CODES SAME AS PREVIOUS. THE DEALER CHARGED ME $1800.00 TO CHANGE DIRTY TRANSMISSION FLUID. PROBLEM IS BACK AGAIN AT 112,000 MILES. THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS THAT IS "DANGEROUS". HAD I NEEDED TO COME TO AN ABRUPT STOP ON THE HIGHWAY I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY AND AS A SEPARATE ISSUE WHEN YOU ABRUPTLY BRAKE THE CAR CAN'T GET OUT OF IT'S OWN WAY AND HAS SCARED ME SEVERAL TIMES.
Power train, May 30, 2015
EVERY TIME I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, OR GO ONTO A FREEWAY, MY CAR CANNOT ACCELERATE AT THE PROPER SPEED WHEN PUSHING DOWN ON THE PEDDLE. THERE IS ABOUT A 5-10 SECOND DELAY TO GET IT TO THE CORRECT SPEED. I'VE BEEN HONKED AT AND I'VE BEEN ALMOST HIT BECAUSE OF THIS. I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND I'M SCARED THAT ONE OF THESE DAYS I'LL GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF IT. I FEEL UNSAFE AND IN DANGER BECAUSE OF THIS CAR. IT'S UNFORTUNATE BECAUSE I ALWAYS THOUGHT HIGHLY OF NISSAN.
Power train, Vehicle speed control, Fuel/propulsion system, May 26, 2015
CAR FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70MPH. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS, PRECARIOUS PLACE FOR NISSAN TO PUT DRIVERS AS THEY ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IS IN NEED OF A RECALL BEFORE LIVES ARE LOST.

I BOUGHT THIS 2010 NISSAN ROUGUE 5 MONTHS BACK FROM CARMAX, LEXINGTON, KY. I TRAVEL FREQUENTLY FROM LEXINGTON, KY TO CARY, NC AND NEW YORK, NY EVERY QUARTER. I USED MY SON CAR CAMRY AND RENTAL CARS( CHEVVY, FORD, TOYOTA AND NISSAN ULTIMA), BUT NEVER FACED THIS PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS WHEN ONCE ON HIGHWAY I SET THE VEHICLE IN CRUISE CONTROL FOR 72 MPH, SUDDENLY WHEN THE HIGHWAY ELEVATION STARTS TO GO UP, THE CRUISE CONTROL IS DROPPED AND THE VEHICLE STARTS SPEED STARTS TO SLIDE UP TO 30...THE ELAST IT DROPPED IS 29 MPH, EVWN WHILE YOU ARE PRESSING ACCELERATOR ( INFACT IT IS FLOORED ). THEN I STOPPED USING CRUISE CONTROL, BUT FOR EVERY ELEVATION THE PROBLEM PERSISTS, THIAS CONTINUES TILL I STOPPED GETTING HIGH ALTITUDES. AROUND LEXINGTON, KY WHERE EVER I GO I HIT MOUNTAINS, SO I STARTED FACING THIS PROBLEM, WHEN EVER I HIT US 64 E, US 77N OR S AND US 75 N OR S........YESTERDAY MY SELF, MY WIFE AND MY DAUGHTER ARE COMING HOME FROM NEW YORK TO LEXINGTON, THE PROBLEM STARTED ONCE IT HITS MOUNTAINS AND CONTINUES TILL WESCHESTER, KY WHIVH IS 20 MILES FROM LEXINGTON, KY. THE DRIVE OF 12 HOURS, TOOK ABSOLUTELY 22 HRS WITH BREAK FOR EVERY 3 HRS ( BREAK OF 20 TO 25 MTS), OTHER THAN BREAKS JUST IMAGINE ON HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE STARTS TO DROP THE SPEED AND WHAT HAPPENS WITH VEHICLES BEHIND YOU, EVEN HIGHLY LOADED TRUCKS CROSSED US AND DROVE COMFORTABLY.......IT IS A SERIOUS DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH NISSAN ROUGUE...TO BE RECTIFIED OR FIXING THE PROBLEM. THE SAME ROUTES I DROVE IN DIFFERENT VEHICLE AS MENTIONED ABOVE EVEN NISSAN UTIMA AS RENTAL CAR, NO ISSUES, BUT FOR THIS VEHICLE. THEN ONLINE I FOUND THAT MINE IS NOT THE FIRST OR LAST VEHICLE, THERE ARE MORE NISSAN ROGUES LIKE THIS. WE NEED JUSTICE FROM THE NISSAN USA.

I WAS ON A ROAD TRIP ABOUT 2 HOURS OR SO INTO A 7 HOUR DRIVE AND MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE UP INCLINES. ABSOLUTELY NO POWER!! THE GAS PEDAL WAS COMPLETELY DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR. I WENT FROM 75MPH TO 45MPH AND WAS ALMOST HIT FROM THE REAR. THIS ALSO HAPPENED ON THE RETURN TRIP, BUT THIS TIME I KNEW ENOUGH TO GET IN THE SLOW LANE WHEN I APPROACHED AN INCLINE. ONCE I WAS ON STRAIGHT, FLAT PARTS OF THE INTERSTATE IT TOOK A LITTLE WHILE BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK UP TO SPEED. I STOPPED FOR GAS AND TRIED TO BACK UP ON A SLIGHT INCLINE AND I COULD SHIFT INTO REVERSE BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. A SHORT TIME INTO THE REST OF THE TRIP HOME MY SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON. VERY DANGEROUS. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE AT ALL IN THIS VEHICLE.
