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
Other or unspecified, Jul 12, 2019
WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE GEAR SHIFTER LOCKED AND WOULD NOT UNLOCK TO MOVE TO A DIFFERENT GEAR EVEN WHEN BRAKE WAS COMPRESSED. DEALERSHIP SAID IT NEEDED AN ENTIRELY NEW SHIFTER ASSEMBLY.

Steering, Vehicle speed control, Engine, Apr 5, 2019
WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AGAIN AND THE CAR ONCE OVER 80 MPH, STOP ACCELERATING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY IN MAJOR TRAFFIC AND DECREASED TO 20 MPH AND STARTING SHAKING AGAIN AND STOPPED. THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE AND I WAS ALMOST PLOWED BY A SEMI. I CALLED NISSAN BEFORE BECAUSE THIS SAME THING HAPPENED LAST JULY 2018, AND THERE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINTS BY OTHERS. THEY ADVISED I NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO NISSAN AND THEY MIGHT ASSIST WITH WHATEVER COULD BE WRONG, BUT THEY MADE IT SEEM AS IF IT WAS NOTHING. ONCE AGAIN THERE WAS NO POWER COMING THROUGH THE CAR, NO SENSOR LIGHTS CAME ON, THE CAR SMELLED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO CATCH FIRE AND IT WOULD ONLY EXCEL AND NOT MOVE BEFORE IT CUT OFF. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET IT PUSHED OVER ON THE MAIN HIGHWAY.

AFTER PURCHASED USED THE LIGHT FOR THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT WOULD NOT GO OFF. FINALLY GOT THAT FIXED. THEN HAD TO REPLACE FRONT STRUTS. NO CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE FROM STOP WITHOUT PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN AND IT IS DELAYED, SAME FOR IN REVERSE.
Fuel/propulsion system, Nov 13, 2018
FUEL LEVEL SENSOR ERROR WHICH CAUSES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. AFTER CAREFUL RESEARCH THIS IS KNOWN ISSUE EFFECTING THOUSANDS OF NISSANS. THE PART BECOMES FAULTY AFTER 40K MILES AND NISSAN IS AWARE. THE ISSUE IS SO BAD THAT THE CAR CAN STOP IN THE MIDLE OF THE ROAD BECAUSE IT THINKS IT RAN OUT OF GAS.
Engine, Oct 28, 2018, crash
THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING ON THE HIGHWAY CAUSING TO RUN OFF THE ROAD.
Steering, Electrical system, Service brakes, Oct 14, 2018, fire
I PARKED THE CAR ON FRIDAY EVENING ON STREET, CAUGHT FIRE ON SUNDAY MORNING, NEIGHBORHOOD CALLED FIREFIGHTERS AND FIREFIGHTERS DID THEIR JOB BUT I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT. MY HOUSE WAS COUPLE OF BLOCKS AWAY. I SAW MY BURNED CAR ON MONDAY AFTERNOON. BURNED STEERING WHEEL AREA, BRAKE AREA AND DASHBOARD. I COLLECTED FIRE INCIDENTS REPORT FROM FDNY AND IT MENTIONED HEAT SOURCE WAS ELECTRICAL ARCING AND OTHER. I HAD TO MOVE THE CAR BECAUSE IT WAS ON THE STREET.
Power train, Engine, Aug 31, 2018
ONE WEEK AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR, I TOOK IT ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 75 MPH. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR THE SPEED SLOWED TO 65, THEN 60, THEN 50 ETC., EVEN THO THE GAS PEDAL IS TO THE FLOOR. CRUISE CONTROL ALSO HAD NO EFFECT. I HAD TO PULL OVER IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, I GOT BACK ON THE ROAD AND UP TO SPEED AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED NOW 3 TIMES IN 2 DAYS.. SO OBVIOUSLY I DON'T FEEL SAFE TAKING IT ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. FROM WHAT I GATHER, THIS IS A TRANSMISSION COOLING ISSUE AND IS REMEDIED BY INSTALLING A $1200 EXTERNAL COOLING UNIT OF SOME SORT THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF BUT WON'T ADDRESS(?) I AM NOT HAPPY.
Power train, Aug 27, 2018
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH OVER SMOOTH OR FLAT ROAD SURFACES, THE VEHICLE FELT AS IF IT WERE ON AN INCLINE. THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO 20 MPH.

BOUGHT 2010 NISSAN ROGUE, FOUND OUT THE GAS GAUGE IS READING FULL ALL THE TIME. WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUGHT KEEPING TRACK OF MILEAGE. WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES WITH THIS PROBLEM
Other or unspecified, Jul 30, 2018
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.
Power train, Jun 24, 2018
125000 MILES AND THE CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED. I WAS OM MY WAY TO THE STORE AND IT STARTED GRINDING AND WAS DONE.
Vehicle speed control, Jun 23, 2018
WHEN ACCELERATING INTO TRAFFIC, AFTER A DEAD STOP IN AN INTERSECTION WAITING TO TURN, OR WHEN CHANGING LANES THE CAR WOULD JUST STOP ACCELERATING. IT WOULD NOT MOVE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. THREE TIMES TRAFFIC HAD TO SLOW TO WAIT FOR MY CAR TO MOVE. NISSAN DEALER SERVICE SAID IT WAS BRAKE SWITCH FAILURE. WHEN REPLACED THE PROBLEM STOPPED.
Structure, Electronic stability control (ESC), Visibility/wiper, Jun 13, 2018
I WAS IN MOTION ON THE FREEWAY. I HEARD A LOUD POP THEN A METAL TO METAL SOUND. I WAS TOWED TO A MECHANIC WHO STATED THE SUBFRAME IS DAMAGED AND BUSHINGS. ONLINE SEARCHES SHOWED ME OTHER MODELS OF NISSAN WERE RECALLED FOR THIS. MINE DID NOT SHOW UP ON THE RECALL LIST BUT IT PROBABLY SHOULD. HOW DOES THIS JUST HAPPEN? I DON'T FEEL SAFE. I HAVE CHILDREN TO KEEP SAFE. THE ELECTRICAL PART IS THAT MY VEHICLE HESITATES TO NEARLY A STALL, ESPECIALLY IN IDLE AT SAY STOPLIGHTS. I ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT DUE TO A DEFECT WITH YOUR TRANSMISSION. MY WINDSHIELD WIPER SPRAY DOES NOT WORK AND I WAS TOLD A PART WOULD BE COMING IN FOR ME FROM JAPAN. IT'S NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE PART. I GOT A LEMON. I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP UP ON MAINTAINING WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A RELIABLE CAR.
Power train, Jun 6, 2018
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED DURING THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MODERN NISSAN OF LAKE NORMAN (18615 STATESVILLE RD, CORNELIUS, NC 28031) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,000.
Power train, Electrical system, Service brakes, Jun 4, 2018
I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM BECAUSE THERE WERE WINNING NOISES COMING FROM THE LEFT SIDE IN THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION COMPARTMENT. IN ADDITION TO CUT AND UNSEALED WIRES UNDER THE DASH AND IN THE FUSE BOX, AS WELL AS A STUCK CALIPER (THAT THEY REPLACED FOR MY CONVENIENCE ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE MANAGER). THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE DEALER FOR A TOTAL OF 2 WEEKS IN THE 1 MONTH I HAVE OWN THE CAR AND THEY HAVE ONLY FIXED THE CALIPER. MY CONCERN WITH THE CUT AND UNSEALED WIRES IS THAT LIGHTS (PARKING BRAKE AND BATTERY) IN THE DASH TURN ON WHILE I AM DRIVING AND IT HAS TURNED OFF ON ME WHEN COMING TO A STOP. IT HAPPENED TO MY WIFE (WITH MY NEWBORN IN THE CAR) WHEN SHE WAS DRIVING THE CAR IN THE HIGHWAY, SHE CAME TO A STOP BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC AND THE CAR TURNED OFF ON HER CREATING AN UNSAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR BOTH MY NEWBORN AND CHILD. THE RESPONSE FROM THE DEALER WAS "WE ARE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE, THE COMPUTER DOESN'T SHOW ANY CODES" YET IT HAPPENS TO ME FREQUENTLY.

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.
Power train, Vehicle speed control, May 22, 2018
DRIVING ON I-76 ON CRUISE CONTROL AT 75 MPH WHEN VEHICLE STARTS TO RUN RPMS IN EXCESS OF 4K WHILE LOSING ACCELERATION. PULL OVER AND TURN OFF VEHICLE. CHECK UNDER THE HOOD, SLIGHT BURNING SMELL. WAIT ABOUT TWENTY MINUTES, TURN VEHICLE ON, WON'T ACCELERATE AT ALL. WAIT SOME MORE, DRIVES FOR A LITTLE WHILE, THEN HIGH ACCELERATION WITH LOSS OF SPEED AGAIN, THIS TIME NEVER GOING OVER 60 MPH. I'M LUCKY I WAS NOT REAR ENDED ON THE INTERSTATE AND KILLED WITH MY TWO YEAR OLD SON.
