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.

STRAIGHT OUT THE LOT 13 MILES ON IT WHEN I PURCHASED IT. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED MY 2010 ROUGE, IT STARTED TO MAKE NOISES WHEN I WOULD GO OVER A DIP OR A SMALL BUMP ON THE ROAD (30,000 MILES OR SO). THE NOISE SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE. I TOOK IT IN 2-3 TIMES TO NISSAN THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IT ALSO STARTED MAKING A VIBRATING NOISE WHEN I WOULD BE IDLING AT A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE VIBRATING SOUND I WAS TOLD WAS DUE TO THE THROTTLE BEING DIRTY. I HAD THAT CLEANED AND A FEW MONTHS LATER IT STATED DOING AGAIN. MY ROUGE NOW HAS OVER 100,000 MILES ON IT AND IT IT STARTED LOOSING POWER AND IT IS NOT ACCELERATING ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS ON MY WAY TO DALLAS AND MY ROUGE WOULDN'T SPEED UP, I WAS DRIVING LIKE 78 MPH AND THEN DECELERATES TO 55 MPH, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THAT IT HAS HAPPENED, PRETTY SCARY STUFF. I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE NEXT EXIT AND CHECK OUT MY CAR. ONCE I TRIED TO GET ON THE ROAD AGAIN MY CAR REFUSED TO MOVE IT WAS ACTING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO TURN OFF, SORT OFF LIKE WHEN YOU MAKE AN ABRUPT STOP AND IT JERKS. IT TOOK OF VERY SLOWLY AND THEN AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT WAS BACK TO NORMAL.
Vehicle speed control, Aug 14, 2015
THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. 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 AUGUST 8. WE WERE DRIVING AT ABOUT 80MPH; WE STARTED UP A HILL 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.
Vehicle speed control, Aug 5, 2015
THE VEHICLE REPEATEDLY LOST SPEED, DECELERATING WHEN GOING UPHILL. IT WENT FROM 70MPH TO LESS THAN 20MPH. PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN PROVIDED NO RESPONSE FROM THE VEHICLE. NISSAN IS REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR MODEL. A FEW INDIVIDUAL POSTED VIDEO OF THEIR PROBLEM AS YOU CAN SEE BELOW HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=AQOXNG8OFKM HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=GG_ZF1EO0PW

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.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, UP BRIDGES AND HILLS. THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE. STAYS AT 2RPM EVEN WHILE PEDAL IS PRESSED ALL THE WAY. VEHICLE CANT PASS 70 MPH ON LONG DRIVES AND RPM STAYS AT 2RPM. THE CAR STARTS SLOWING DOWN TO ALMOST 50 MPH FOR LONGER PERIODS OF TIME. THEN WHEN OFF THE HIGHWAY TO SEE THE ISSUE THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY. TURNING OFF THE CAR AND LET IT REST FOR 10 MIN IS THE ONLY SOLUTION. BUT 30 MIN BACK IN THE ROAD SAME PROBLEM OCCURS. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND NOT SAFE. I READ MANY FORUMS AND ALSO THE NISSAN TITANS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I NEED SERIOUS HELP. STOPPED AT AUTO ZONE TO READ THE CHECK ENGINE AND THE TRANSMISSION AND SPEED CONTROL CODES CAME UP. THE 1ST TIME IN 4 YEARS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. SO OBVIOUSLY IT'S GETTING WORSE.
Air bags, Seats, Aug 1, 2015
BOTH LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON SHOWING THE AIR BAG WOULD NOT WORK IF THE ROGUE WAS INVOLVED IN A ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE ROGUE TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE CENSOR'S IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WERE NOT WORKING AND WOULD NOT DEPLOY. THE DEALERSHIP CLEARED THE CODES AND RETESTED AND THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH WENT OUT. THREE DAYS LATER THEY CAME BACK ON. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISE THAT THE CENSOR'S WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. I THEN TOOK THE ROGUE TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. I ADVISED THEM OF WHAT WAS DONE AT THE PREVIOUS DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT WAS THE PROPER PROCEDURE. I WAS ALSO ASK WHO RODE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND WHAT THEIR WEIGHT WAS. I ADVISED THEM MY WIFE RODE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT 99% OF THE TIME AND 126 LBS. WAS HER WEIGHT. I WAS THEN TOLD HER WEIGHT COULD BE PART OF THE PROBLEM? I NEEDED TO GET THE SYSTEM FIXED BECAUSE IT WAS A SAFETY PROBLEM???
Other or unspecified, Jul 30, 2015
I HAVE A NISSAN ROGUE. MY ROGUE HAS BEEN LOSING POWER AND HAVING ISSUES ACCELERATING AT TIMES. I AM NOT SURE WHY IT IS MAINLY WHEN I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR A LONG TIME. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET THE ISSUE DIAGNOSED BECAUSE IT DOESN'T DO IT WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE MECHANIC. I AM NOT SURE HOW TO GO ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I DO FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL SINCE SEVERAL ROGUE OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.
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.
Electrical system, Vehicle speed control, Jul 21, 2015
DRIVING TO THE BEACH, ABOUT TWO HOURS IN ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 70+, I NOTICED THE CAR LAGGED AFTER I STOPPED ON AN EXIT WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AT THE LIGHT. DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT AND WENT ON TO GET FOOD. THEN ANOTHER HOUR LATER I FELT MY SPEED SUDDENLY DROPPING. I WAS GOING 80 ON CRUISE CONTROL AND THEN DROPPED DOWN TO 70, EVEN THOUGH I WAS PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR. LUCKILY I HAD TIME TO PULL OVER TO AN EXIT, I WAITED ABOUT 15 MINS AND THE CAR SEEMED FINE. ABOUT ANOTHER 45 MINUTES LATER, I WAS DRIVING AND TRYING TO MERGE ON 1-95, THE RAMP IS A BIG CURVE SO I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 40 MPH, WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE TO MERGE, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. A TRACTOR TRAILER ALMOST SLAMMED INTO THE BACK BUT LUCKILY I PULLED OFF THE ROAD JUST IN TIME. BUT THE PLACE I HAD TO PULL OVER WAS UNSAFE AND MADE IT DIFFICULT TO MERGE ON THE INTERSTATE SAFELY, BUT I HAD NO CHOICE OF WHERE TO PULL OVER BECAUSE I WAS JUST TRYING TO NOT GET HIT. THIS CAR IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND NOW MY PARENTS WORRY ABOUT MY SAFETY ANYTIME I NEED TO TRAVEL IN THIS CAR FOR OVER 2 HOURS.

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.
Power train, Jun 30, 2015
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

Power train, Vehicle speed control, Fuel/propulsion system, May 31, 2015
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.
