While parked and waiting for drive-thru service, my Nissan Rogue began to smoke and immediately turned into flames under the hood. There was no malfunction or problems before this incident. Approximately 15 minutes prior to the incident, the driver stopped and filled truck with gas. After driving from the gas station, the driver went approximately 10 miles for food, where the car began smoking, and flames coming from under the hood. There were no warning signs, messages or malfunctions prior to this incident. The car was running quietly and smoothly and had not encountered any problems prior to the incident.

I was driving the vehicle and stopped at a Sonic drive thru. I shifted the car into park and I began to hear a very loud creaking noise. When I shifted the car into drive, the car wouldn’t move. I called a Firestone mechanic and he concluded that it was the CV belt that is connected to the transmission. Regardless, only a transmission shop could handle this issue. I called CARMAX AUTO, and spoke with a JASON HEWITT. Mr Hewitt informed me that CarMax will have a tow truck come get the car. The following day, the car was towed by CarMax to Amaco for an official diagnostic. I was notified the following day that my vehicle had a damaged axle and appears to have been cause by a “car accident.” Mr Hewitt told me to file a claim in my insurance. I told Mr Hewitt that most likely the tow company damaged my axle. He stated he didnt know what exactly caused it but they will not be able to address the transmission issue until this axle and converter is paid for. Additionally, I’ve had the car for 14 months and 6 months into my lease agreement, the check engine light came and stayed on due the catalytic converter. The air and heat stopped working in September of 2023.

I live in Colorado and on one than more occasion I have been driving at elevation (crossing a mountain pass) and the vehicle loses any power to the gas - the pedal is literally on the floor but car loses speed. The last time this happened (this past May), I was trying to climb one of the passes, and my car would not go faster than 35mph, in an area with a minimum 60mph speed limit. I had to move into the shoulder so semi trucks could pass me. I can't believe this hasn't been a recall issue - if you Google this problem, you will find many Nissan owners (particularly early Rogue models) complaining of this exact issue. It is incredibly dangerous and if this is a mechanism of the vehicle (a heat or elevation issue), it should never have been sold in mountain or desert regions. Regardless, Nissan should be fixing this problem at no charge to the customer.

Safety put at risk due to horn not being able to work and the primary reason for this complaint is the engine. The car stopped accelerating, which was resolved, but then the car would no longer go in reverse!!! It is unknown why this has happened. We suspected the CVT prior to even learning of the CVT class action lawsuit. Please advise! Thank you for your time and consideration!

THE CVT TRANSMISSION IS FAILING ON LONGER DRIVES IN WARMER WEATHER. THE CAR STALLS AND STOPS ACCELERATING AND EVENTUALLY STOPS RUNNING ALTOGETHER. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHEN MY DAUGHTER IS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK AS IT RENDERS THE CAR DISABLED IN TRAFFIC.

WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT TWO HOURS. WHEN CLIMBING A HILL THE VEHICLE REFUSED TO ACCELERATE EVEN WITH THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. WENT FROM 75 MPH TO 35 MPH. WOULD NOT GO OVER 2000 RPM. WE HAD RECENTLY BEEN USING THE CRUISE CONTROL BUT WEREN'T WHEN THIS HAPPENED. NO ENGINE LIGHTS OR PROBLEM INDICATORS CAME ON. WE PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND OPENED THE HOOD BUT NOTHING APPEARED TO BE WRONG OR OVERHEATING. WE WAITED 10 MINUTES AND CONTINUED ON THE HIGHWAY. EVERYTHING WAS FINE AFTER THAT, BUT WE DIDN'T GO UP ANYMORE HILLS. MILEAGE AT 100000

MY CAR LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. I COULD BE DRIVING AT 65MPH THEN IT JUST SLOWS TO ABOUT 35MPH FOR NO REASON AND MAKES A WHINING NOISE. IF I AM AT A STOP SIGN, I WILL HIT THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR WONT GO ANYWHERE. I'M SCARED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN NOW OR CROSS AN INTERSECTION BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE IF MY CAR WILL GO ANYWHERE. I'VE NEARLY BEEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES. NISSAN IS NOT COOPERATING WITH ME. I'VE ALREADY REPLACED THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, PAID FOR A DIAGNOSIS WHICH THEY NOW SAY IS THE 'BRAKE SWITCH." I'M TIRED OF DUMPING MONEY INTO THIS AND NOT HAVING IT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. NISSAN CLAIMS THAT NO ONE ELSE HAS A PROBLEM LIKE THIS.

TAKING A SHORT DAY TRIP, ABOUT A 2 AND A HALF HOUR DRIVE, MY CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING ABOUT AN HOUR IN. GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND NOTHING HAPPENED. ON THE WAY BACK HOME IT WAS WORSE WE HAD TO STOP ALMOST EVERY 10-20 MILES TO LET THE CAR REST. I JUST HAD THIS TRANSMISSION REPLACED ABOUT A MONTH AGO. I WOULD STOP TO MAYBE COOL DOWN THE TRANSMISSION FOR ABOUT 15-30 MINUTES, THEN IT ACTS LIKE NOTHING WAS WRONG. IT ALSO HAS A WHINING NOISE LIKE SOMETHING IS WINDING UP.

I STARTED MY VEHICLE AND ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE AND THE SHIFT LEVER WOULD NOT MOVE. THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET MY VEHICLE OUT OF PARK IS TO USE THE SHIFT LOCK WITH THE KEY, MOVE THE LEVER TO NEUTRAL. THEN I AM ABLE TO START MY VEHICLE AND PUT IT IN GEAR.

I BOUGHT NISSAN ROGUE 2010 WITH A CLEAN TITLE IN DECEMBER OF 2013. I STARTED HAVING SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR IN THE SPRING OF 2014. I BEGAN HEARING A WHINING SOUND ON ACCELERATION COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION WHILE DRIVING ON LONG ROAD TRIPS. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT UP UNTIL A YEAR LATER, WAS SUDDENLY UNABLE TO ACCELERATE WHEN GOING UP HILL OR DRIVING LONGER THAN 20 MILES. THE PEDAL WAS DOWN TO THE FLOOR BUT RATHER THAN PICK UP SPEED, THE VEHICLE WOULD DECELERATE AND WAS UNABLE TO REACH EVEN 40 MPH. IT STARTED HAPPENING MORE AND MORE OFTEN, AND I ALMOST GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT SEVERAL TIMES. I WENT TO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND FOUND OUT THAT NISSAN WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THEIR CVTS AND THAT THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS/120,000 MPH. HOWEVER, THEY WERE REFUSING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THERE WAS NO WAY TO DUPLICATE IT SINCE IT WOULD TAKE SEVERAL MILES OF DRIVING AROUND TO NOTICE ACCELERATION FAILURE. THE WHINING SOUND AND VIBRATION ARE NORMAL I WAS TOLD. AFTER GOING TO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS MULTIPLE TIMES AND TALKING WITH NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES, IN DECEMBER 2016 I WAS FINALLY TOLD THAT THERE'S NO EXTENDED WARRANTY ON MY VEHICLE BECAUSE NISSAN CANCELED MY CAR'S WARRANTY BACK IN 2014 BECAUSE OF A BRANDED TITLE. I CALLED DOL AND FOUND OUT THERE WAS A MISTAKE DONE. THEY FIXED MY TITLE AND THERE'S NO BRAND ON IT. NOW I GOT A CALL FROM A NISSAN CUSTOMER AFFAIR REP MR DARIES WHO INFORMED ME THAT THEY ARE WORKING ON GETTING THE BRAND OFF OF MY TITLE AND IT SHOULD TAKE 4-6 WEEKS BUT THEY ARE TRYING TO EXPEDITE IT. HE PROMISED HE WOULD CALL ME REGULARLY WITH AN UPDATE. IT'S BEEN ALMOST TWO MONTHS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. I CALLED SEVERAL TIMES LEAVING VOICEMAIL TO MR DARIES AND NEVER GOT A CALL BACK FROM HIM. I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE LONGER THAN 10 MILES WHEN MY CAR STARTS LOSING ACCELERATION AND HAS THIS HORRIBLE WHINING NOISE.

CAR DOESN'T ACCELERATE ON LONG TRIPS IT STALLS DOWN TO 40-0 MPH ON INTERSTATE LEAVING YOU TO WAIT 30 MINS ON THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE BEFORE IT ACCELERATES. I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A BIG TRUCK BECAUSE OF IT STALLING DOWN. I'VE TAKEN IT TO MULTIPLE SHOPS AND NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS

THE SUNROOF OF MY CAR (WHILE I WAS DRIVING) EXPLODED! FORTUNATELY THE INSIDE PANEL WAS CLOSED. I IMAGINED SOMETHING HIT THE SUNROOF, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING INSIDE THE WELL. JUST RECENTLY I WATCHED A NEWS PROGRAM THAT SHOWED THAT MANY SUNROOFS ARE EXPLODING DUE TO FLAWS IN THE GLASS. THE COST OF THE REPAIR WAS UNDER MY DEDUCTIBLE, COSTING ME $303.35 TO REPLACE. I WAS DRIVING ON RT. 7 "BELLEVILLE TURNPIKE" KEARNY, NEW JERSEY. NOTHING WAS NEAR ME AT THE TIME - IT SOUNDED LIKE I HAD BEEN SHOT AT! I HAD THE REPAIR DONE AT LIDO AUTO BODY IN BELLEVILLE, N.J. IT TOOK THREE DAYS TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR, I HAD TO RENT A CAR (ENTERPRISE) TO GO TO WORK COSTING ME $124.74. I HAVE PHOTOS AND INVOICES, BUT I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FACILITATE A DOWNLOAD IF I AM PROVIDED A FAX NUMBER, I WILL GLADLY PROVIDE WHATEVER DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED. *TR

ON 12/7/15 I HONESTLY THOUGHT SOMEONE SHOT AT MY CAR! DRIVING ON ROUTE 7 IN KEARNY, N.J., NO OTHER VEHICLES NEAR MINE. I HAD THE INTERIOR SHADE CLOSED, BUT COULD HEAR PIECES OF GLASS BREAKING AND REALIZED IT WAS MY SUNROOF THAT WAS COMING APART. I CALLED INSURANCE AND THEY ASKED IF I HAD DRIVEN UNDER AN OVERPASS, NO MENTION OF EXPLOSION. I PAID TO HAVE THE SUNROOF REPLACED AT LIDO AUTO BODY IN BELLEVILLE COSTING ME $303.35. HAVE PHOTOS AND INVOICE, I AM 68 AND DO NOT POSSESS THE TECHNOLOGY OR KNOWHOW TO "UPLOAD" THESE BUT WILL HAPPILY MAIL THESE.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 75 MPH FOR AROUND 30-40 MINUTES WHEN THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING AND BEGAN DECELERATING. I HAD MY FOOT ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE GAS PEDDLE AND IT JUST KEPT LOSING SPEED. LUCIKLY I WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO THE RIGHT LANE, BECAUSE I WANTED TO GET INTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE WHEN THE CAR FINALLY BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. THE CAR BEGAN ACTING NORMAL AFTER THAT UNTIL I GOT OFF THE EXIT RAMP ABOUT 10 MINS LATER. I STOPPED AT THE END OF THE RAMP AND WHEN IT WAS MY TURN TO GO THE CAR HAD AGAIN NO POWER. MY FOOT WAS PUSHING THE GAS PEDDLE TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR JUST BEGAN TO ROLL, I QUICKLY HAD TO TURN ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND ROLL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MY HUSBAND AND I WAITED FOR A FEW MOMENTS AND THEN THE CAR DROVE NORMAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES TO ME NOW, ALWAYS AFTER DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT 30-45 MINS. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING ONLINE AND HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE, BUT NISSAN REFUSES TO FILE ANY KIND OF RECALL. I HAVE OWNED A FEW NISSANS BUT AFTER THIS, AND READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM THIS IS MY LAST ONE. I COULD HAVE KILLED MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE IF THIS HAD CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT EVERYONE DRIVING A ROGUE IS DRIVING A TICKING BOMB SINCE YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND INVESTIGATED AS TO WHY NISSAN IS NOT FIXING AN ISSUE THAT THEY KNOW EXISTS. DO THEY CARE THAT LITTLE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS.

THE FIRST TIME THE INCIDENT HAPPENED I WAS EXITING THE EXPRESSWAY AND AFTER STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT THE CAR STARTED TO MAKE A WEIRD NOISE. WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE THROUGH THE GREEN LIGHT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FOR 15 SECONDS. I EVEN TRIED SLAMMING THE GAS PEDAL DOWN. AFTER THAT I WOULD ALWAYS HEAR A WHINING NOISE WHEN DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY OR A PROLONGED AMOUNT OF TIME. WHEN DRIVING OUT OF STATE TO TENNESSEE THE CAR STARTED TO DECREASE IN SPEED ON A HILL AND I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A COP. PULLING OVER AT A GAS I LET THE CAR SIT FOR 30 MINS. I TRIED TO RENTER THE EXPRESSWAY AND THE CAR STILL WOULD NOT MOVE. AFTER A WHILE I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK ON THE EXPRESSWAY. ONCE IN TENNESSEE THE CAR BARELY MADE IT UP THE HILLS I HAD TO TIME IT JUST RIGHT. ON THE WAY BACK TO GA THE CAR BEGAN THE ISSUES AGAIN AND WHILE TRYING TO PULL OFF THE CAR DECREASED IN SPEED SO QUICKLY I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A SEMI-TRUCK. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR THE ELECTRICAL RECALL THAT DID NOT HELP. THE CAR HAS HAD TWO COMPLETE TUNE UPS NOR HAS NOT WORKED. I REFUSE TO PAY OUT OF MY POCKET FOR ANOTHER TRANSMISSION; WHICH HAS NOT AIDED OTHERS IN THIS SAME SITUATION. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR A YEAR. EVERYDAY IT'S A GUESSING GAME IF THE CAR WILL EVER GET ME TO AND FROM WORK SAFELY.

I HAVE A 2010 NISSAN ROGUE THAT HAS 60,000 MILES AND THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS IT HAS BEGAN TO LOSE SPEED WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 65MPH. WHEN I WOULD PUSH ON THE GAS PEDAL IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 40MPH. THIS WOULD HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING LONGER THAN 1 HOUR AND WHEN GOING UPHILL. NONE OF THE SERVICE LIGHTS WOULD LIGHT UP, BUT IT WAS VERY SCARY DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY GOING 65MPH ONE MINUTE AND THEN 40MPH THE NEXT MINUTE, ESPECIALLY THIS HIGHWAY HAS A MINIMUM SPEED LIMIT OF 55MPH! THIS HAS BEEN MY ONLY REAL SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE OTHER THAN THE TIRES CONSTANTLY DEFLATING AND THE AWD DOES NOT DO AS WELL I EXPECTED IN THE SNOW.
