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 2011 ROGUE VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM AUGUST 17, 2010, THROUGH OCTOBER 30, 2010. THE CIRCUIT BOARD MAY NOT HAVE BEEN INSTALLED IN THE CORRECT POSITION ON CERTAIN ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) ASSIST CONTROL UNITS. THIS MAY CAUSE ADDITIONAL STRESS ON THE SOLDER OF THE TERMINAL TO THE CIRCUIT BOARD RESULTING IN THE SOLDER CRACKING AND SEPARATING COMPLETELY FROM THE CIRCUIT BOARD.
AS THE CIRCUIT BOARD FAILS, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FEATURE WILL STOP FUNCTIONING, INCREASING THE FORCE NEEDED TO STEER THE VEHICLE AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
NISSAN WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE EPS CONTROL UNIT IF NECESSARY, FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING DECEMBER 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

THE CAR SUDDENLY BEGAN TO SHUDDER WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AFTER A STOP IN A PARKING LOT. THIS CAME OUT OF NOWHERE. WITHIN EIGHT HOURS THE PROBLEM BECAME SO PRONOUNCED THAT THE CAR HAD A VERY DIFFICULT TIME GETTING INTO GEAR AND MOVING FORWARD AFTER COMING TO A STOP. THE CAR SHUDDERED VIOLENTLY TRYING TO GET UP TO HIGHWAY SPEED. BY THE TIME I GOT IT TO THE DEALER I WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION "WAS SHOT"

I STARTED MY VEHICLE ON THE MORNING OF THE 19TH AND I DID HEAR A STRANGE NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAD HEARD THAT NOISE BEFORE AND HAD TO TAKE MY 7 YEAR OLD TO AN APPOINTMENT. WE GOT A FEW MILES FROM OUR HOME AND AS WE WERE GOING UP A STEEP HILL THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROADWAY AND WOULD NOT GO ANY FURTHER. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY TO MYSELF OR MY CHILD IN THE CAR AS THE CAR STOPPED AND WOULD NOT MOVE. THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS OR ISSUES PRIOR TO THIS AND THE CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. I HAD THE CAR TAKEN TO THE CLOSEST MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THERE ARE SERIOUS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THE MECHANIC SUGGESTED CONTACTING THE DEALER TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL BUT THE DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS.

2011 NISSAN ROGUE SLOWS AND STOPS SUDDENLY IN TRAFFIC WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH IN CENTER LANE. NO WARNING. WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OR MOVE. TRANSMISSION! THANK GOD OTHER CARS SWERVED TO AVOID ME AND THE 3 KIDS IN THE CAR WERE NOT HURT! IT'S GOING TO TAKE $4000 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. NISSAN'S EXTENDED WARRANTY (10YRS OR 120,000 MILES) ENDED WITH THEIR 2010 VEHICLES. IT NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO 2011 VEHICLES OR ANY WITH CVT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T FIXED THE PROBLEM! OR NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL SUCH VEHICLES. PREVENT A LOVED ONE FROM DYING! *TR
Vehicle speed control, Aug 14, 2015
THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS CAR OVERHEATS AFTER DRIVING (SLIGHTLY) UPHILL FOR OVER 5 MILES OR ANYTIME IT'S DRIVEN OVER AN HOUR. THIS CAUSES THE CAR TO LOSE ACCELERATION. MOST RECENTLY, IT OVERHEATED SO BADLY THAT I COULD PUSH THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND IT DIDN'T MOVE AT ALL. I'VE SINCE LEARNED THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF, BUT IS NOT OFFERING TO FIX THE PROBLEM OR STATE A RECALL. THEY WILL INSTALL A TRANSMISSION COOLING KIT FOR $850 AT THE CONSUMER'S EXPENSE. THE EXPENSE ASIDE, CONSUMERS NEED TO BE MADE AWARE OF THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DEFECT AS LOSS OF ACCELERATION AT HIGH SPEEDS CAN CAUSE DEADLY ACCIDENTS. NISSAN NEEDS TO BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS.

MY 2011 NISSAN ROGUE WAS NEW WHEN I PURCHASED IT. ON JULY 15, 2015, WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH, THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED VIBRATING VIOLENTLY WITH A LOUD NOISE AND STOPPED SUDDENLY IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WITHOUT WARNING! I HAD 3 KIDS IN THE CAR AND WE COULD'VE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT! I COULD SHIFT IT INTO GEAR BUT IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE OR MOVE. A DIAGNOSTIC DISCOVERED IT'S THE TRANSMISSION AS SUSPECTED. I HAVE 118K HIGHWAY MILES ON IT AND HAVE BEEN GETTING REGULAR AND SCHEDULED OIL CHANGES AND MAINTENANCE. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM SINCE I MADE A CLAIM TO NISSANSUPPORT. THEY WOULD NOT ACKNOWLEDGE OR TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE POOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND STATED THAT IT WAS BEYOND THE WARRANTY. WHAT DOES IT TAKE FOR NISSAN TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ENDANGERING LIVES? THE DEATH OF A WIFE, HUSBAND, MOTHER, FATHER, SISTER, BROTHER...A CHILD?

ON JULY 23, 2015, I WAS DRIVING HOME AT 35 MILES PER HOUR AND SUDDENLY MY VEHICLE STALLED LIGHTS FLASHED ON DASH BOARD. I TURNED EVERYTHING OFF AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART IT AND ONLY HEARD A TREMBLING NOISE AND CLICKING OF THE DASHBOARD. IN 1 HOUR I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AFTER GETTING IT JUMPED. BATTERY WAS TESTED BY DEALER ON JULY 22,2015 RIGHT BEFORE I PURCHASED MY ROGUE 2011( USED). SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED IN PARKING LOT OF A STORE WHERE I PARKED TO SHOP ON JULY 31ST,2015. I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART MY VEHICLE UNTIL IT GOT JUMPED AGAIN. THIS VEHICLE PASSED ALL INSPECTIONS AT THE DEALER AND SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITH BATTERY, HOWEVER IT IS APPEARING THAT IPDM IS FAULTY AND COULD CAUSE A CRASH AND EVEN DEATH OF MY FAMILY ANYTIME THIS HAPPENS AGAIN WHILE I'M DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE START RECALL SO NO ONE DIES DUE TO THIS PROBLEM!

I PURCHASED MY 2011 NISSAN ROGUE IN 2011 BRAND NEW. IN DEC 2013, AS I WOULD DRIVE TO/FROM WORK I FELT THE CAR WAS TRYING TO LOWER ITS SPEED WHILE I KEPT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. IT CAUSED ME TO SLOW UP TRAFFIC. THEN THE CAR WOULD NOT LET ME GO HIGHER THAN 20 MPH. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO OF THIS AND TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC, THEY ADVISED ME IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION THAT I WOULD NEED A NEW ONE. SO I CONTACT MY NISSAN DEAL AND THEY FIXED IT. NOW JULY 2015, LESS THAN 2 YEARS LATER WITH A NEW TRANSMISSION AT 60,000 MILES THE POWER TRAIN GOT WORSE. AS I WAS DRIVING UP A HILL THERE WAS A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT SO I STOPPED MY VEHICLE. ONCE THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I LET GO OF THE GAS PEDAL AND PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL AND IT DID NOT MOVE. THERE WERE A LOT OF CARS BEHIND ME AND LUCKILY MY CAR DID NOT START TO BACKWARDS. BUT I WAS EXTREMELY NERVOUS AND FELT THIS DEFECT WILL BE THE CAUSE OF MY FIRST ACCIDENT. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. WHEN I HAD MY HONDA IT NEVER DID THIS TO ME AND I PUT ON IT 100,000 MILES. PLEASE HELP!!!

I WAS DRIVING FROM DENVER TO RATON, NM. ON I-25 OUTSIDE PUEBLO, I WAS GOING ABOUT 80 MILES AN HOUR UP A HILL. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND THE SPEED QUICKLY DROPPED TO 45 MPH. I HAD THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I HAD TO PUT MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON, SO OTHER DRIVERS WOULD KNOW I WAS HAVING CAR TROUBLE. THIS HAPPENED ON FOUR OR MORE INCLINES INCLUDING RATON PASS WHERE I COULDN'T GET THE CAR OVER 25 MPH UNTIL I WAS GOING DOWNHILL. ON THE RETURN DRIVE, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. ON MY DRIVE TO BRECKENRIDGE A FEW DAYS AGO, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE AND QUICKLY LOSING SPEED ON THE FREEWAY IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I WILL GET A DIFFERENT CAR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. ONCE I STARTED RESEARCHING ONLINE, I SAW SEVERAL OTHER ROGUE OWNERS' COMMENTS ABOUT THIS KNOWN BUT IGNORED ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING ON A LONG ROAD TRIP, TWO HOURS INTO THE RIDE MY 2011 NISSAN ROGUE DECELERATED AND WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 60 MPH. I WAS GOING ABOUT 75 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT DECELERATED, WHILE I WAS FLOORING THE GAS TO 60MPH. THE GAS PEDDLE WAS COMPLETELY FLOORED AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS FIGHTING TO STAY AT 60 MPH. THE CAR STARTED VIBRATING WAS LOUD SOUNDING LIKE IT HAD NO POWER. THEN WHEN I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND CAME TO A STOP THE CAR WAS VERY DELAYED TO ACCELERATE AT ALL, AS IF IT HAD NO POWER. I REFUELED AT A LITTLE OVER A HALF TANK AND FOR THE FIRST TIME THE GAS GAUGE DID NOT REGISTER THE CORRECT MILES OR MOVE THE DIAL. ONCE I BEGAN DRIVING AGAIN, AFTER 20 MINUTES THE CAR AGAIN SLOWED AND WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 60MPH. ONCE RESTARTING THE ENGINE THE GAS GAUGE DID READ ACCURATELY. THIS OCCURRED ONCE BEFORE WHEN THE ROGUE HAD ABOUT 70K MILES ON IT AND THIS LAST INCIDENT THE CAR HAS 96K MILES. ON THE FIRST OCCASION THE ROUGE WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 50MPH. I BOUGHT THE ROGUE BRAND AND HAVE KEPT UP WITH THE REGULAR MAINTENANCE. THIS NEVER HAPPENED WHILE LIVING IN NY AND SEEMED TO START WHEN DRIVING OVER AN HOUR OR SO ON THE HIGHWAY, IN THE FLORIDA HEAT. I DID NOT TAKE IT TO GET CHECKED OUT AFTER READING VARIOUS FORUMS THAT IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE NISSAN WILL NOT FIX.

WAS DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE WITH CRUISE ENGAGED. CRUISE WOULD ABRUPTLY DISENGAGE CAUSING THE SPEED TO FALL RAPIDLY, AND ACCELERATOR WOULD CEASE TO WORK WITH GAS PEDAL PUSHED TO THE FLOOR. WOULD ALSO DECREASE SPEED WHEN CLIMBING HILLS. NEAR COLLISION TOOK PLACE AND THIS IS MY FAMILY CAR IN WHICH I ALWAYS HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN WITH ME. THIS HAPPENED ON MORE THEN ONE OCCASION AND WOULD RESULT IN MY HAVING TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESET THE VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE HURT OR KILLED. PROBLEM PERSISTED AND LEFT ME STRANDED IN AN INTERSECTION AS WELL. DEALER SAYS IT'S THE TRANS COOLER FAILING TO KEEP THE TRANSMISSION FROM OVERHEATING AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. REPAIR WILL COST BETWEEN $1100 AND $1300. CALLED CONSUMER AFFAIRS AT NISSAN AND THEY HAVE DECIDED IT'S NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE VEHICLE THAT HAS CAUSED THIS. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW FOUR YEARS AGO AND ONLY HAS 72,000 MILES. THAT RESPONSE IS UNACCEPTABLE. HAD I KNOW THE TRANNY WOULD FAIL WITHIN THAT TIME I NEVER WOULD HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. MY RECOMMENDATION, DO NOT BUY A NISSAN. THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. ALL MODELS OF ROGUE BEFORE THIS HAD THEIR CVT WARRANTIES DOUBLED TO 120,000 MILES BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM SO WHY NOT THE 2011? IT'S THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM! EXTREMELY UNHAPPY AND WILL BE FIGHTING THIS. I WILL BE CONTACTING THE BBB AND MY LAWYER. IF YOU'RE HAVING THIS PROBLEM THEN FILE A COMPLAINT. THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN AGAIN, AND WILL BOYCOTT THEM TILL THE END OF TIME. POOR VEHICLE, POOR SERVICE, POOR RESPONSE TO CONSUMER'S. STEER CLEAR IF YOU'RE SMART!

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 80 MPH ON A TOLL ROAD AND THE CAR LOST POWER TO ABOUT 50-60 MPH AND THE MOTOR WAS LIKE IN LIMP MODE FOR ABOUT 25 MILES . I STOPPED FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND WHEN I STARTED DRIVING AGAIN IT WAS FINE. SINCE THEN THIS HAPPENS ABOUT EVERY COUPLE WEEKS . DEALER SAYS I NEED A TRANSMISSION COOLER WHICH COST ALMOST $1100 . THIS CAR HAS LESS THAN 80,000 MILES I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT WOULD NEED A COOLER UNLESS IT IS DEFECTIVE .

TWICE NOW, LAST AUGUST 2014 AND JUNE 2015, TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON AROUND 70 MPH, VEHICLE DECELERATES ON ITS OWN. GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, BUT STILL LOSING SPEED. HAD TO GET TO NEXT EXIT AND TURN VEHICLE OFF FOR FEW MINUTES BEFORE PROCEEDING. SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED, TOOK TO NISSAN DEALER. COULD NOT REPLICATE PROBLEM BUT RECOMMENDED A TRANSMISSION COOLING UNIT BE INSTALLED AT COST OF ABOUT $1300, WITH NO GUARANTEE THIS WILL FIX PROBLEM. MILEAGE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS 58,600. SECOND TIME AROUND 74,000 MILES. NISSAN CVT WARRANTY EXTENSION DOES NOT INCLUDE 2011 MODELS. ENDS WITH 2010 VEHICLES, ALTHOUGH THIS VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING SAME PROBLEM AS PREVIOUS YEARS MODELS.

CAR DID NOT RESPOND TO GAS PEDAL, WAS ON I90 TRYING TO GO 60MPH WITH THE GAS PEDAL FLOORED AND THE CAR WAS GOING 20MPH. I PULLED OF THE ROAD THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON, WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN IT SAID" TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH CIRCUT INTERMITTENT. APPARENTLY SO MANY CARS HAVE THIS PROBLEM THAT THE PART IS ON "PARTS RESTRICTION" FROM NISSAN BECAUSE THE SHOPS CAN'T KEEP THEM IN STOCK BECAUSE SO MANY CARS NEED THIS PART REPLACED.

GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT CRUISING SPEED, WITH SPEED CONTROL SET, IT WOULD JUST DROP OFF CRUISE CONTROL ON IT'S OWN AND SPEED DECREASED RAPIDLY. MANUAL ACCELERATION WOULD ALSO NOT WORK. I HAD TO EXIT THE INTERSTATE AT VERY LOW SPEED. WE ALLOWED THE ROGUE TO SIT FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES THINKING THAT IS WAS OVERHEATING AS WE HAD BEEN ON A ROAD TRIP AND WERE HEADING HOME. AFTER TURNING IT BACK ON IT WAS ACTING NORMAL AGAIN. WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY TROUBLE WITHIT AGAIN UNTIL THE NEXT SUMMER WHEN WE TOOK A ROAD TRIP AGAIN. SINCE THEN IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SO I KNEW THAT IT COULDN'T BE FROM THE CAR OVERHEATING. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN CONCERNING THIS ISSUE, BUT THE 2011 MODEL WAS NOT COVERED. THIS IS INSANE. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $5,000 TO REPAINR. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG THIS PROBLEM HAS EXISTED BECAUES WE HAD NEVER TAKEN IN ON A ROAD TRIP UNTIL ABOUT 50,000 MILES WHEN IT OCCURRED. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER THE SECOND INCIDENT AT 62,000. THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE REPAIRED IT HAD WE BROUGHT IT IN PRIOR TO 60,000 BUT SINCE IT WAS OVER THEY WOULD COVER NOTHING EVEN THOUGH THEY ADMITTED THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH MANY OF THIER TRANSMISSIONS!! THEY ALSO SAID THEY WOULD ONLY REPLACE OR ADD A COOLING FAN BUT THEY WOULD NOT TRY TO REPAIR IT BECAUSE THAT WAS NOT ALLOWED BY NISSAN. THEY SAID NISSAN WILL NOT EVEN LET THEM OPEN IT UP. THIS IS VERY WRONG!

GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT CRUISING SPEED WITH SPEED CONTROL SET I NOTICED THAT THE WHEN CLIMBING A HILL WE WERE LOSING EXCESSIVE SPEED AND THE ENGINE SPEED WOULD NOT INCREASE. I DISENGAGED THE SPEED CONTROL AND MANUALLY TRIED TO ACCELERATE AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT INCREASE OVER 2500 RPMS. I IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO EXIT UP AN OFF RAMP AND COULD NOT CLIMB THE RAMP FASTER THAN 10MPH. WE ALLOWED THE ROGUE TO SIT FOR 10 MIN.'S THINKING THAT IS WAS OVERHEATING. WHEN WE RESUMED THE TRIP THE ROGUE WAS ACTING NORMAL AGAIN. UNTIL THE RETURN TRIP WHEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED. SINCE THEN IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN CONCERNING THIS ISSUE, BUT THE 2011 MODEL WAS NOT COVERED. IN MY OPINION ANY SYSTEM THAT DISENGAGES THE ACCELERATION SYSTEM WHILE TRAVELING THE INTERSTATE IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. HAVING DRIVEN AND WORKED ON CARS ALL MY LIFE, I HAVE NEVER HAD ONE THAT SCARED ME LIKE THIS. IT IS NOT A COMFORTABLE FEELING LOOKING IN THE MIRROR TO SEE A SEMI GAINING ON YOU AND THERE IS BASICALLY NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. *TR
