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 2012 MURANO AND ROGUE VEHICLES, MANUFACTURED FROM NOVEMBER 23, 2011 THROUGH JANUARY 11, 2012. DURING ASSEMBLY, THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) WAS NOT ACTIVATED. THUS, THESE VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 138,TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM.
A NON-ACTIVE TPMS CANNOT WARN A DRIVER THAT A TIRE IS UNDERINFLATED. UNDERINFLATED TIRES CAN RESULT IN TIRE OVERLOADING AND OVERHEATING, WHICH COULD LEAD TO A BLOWOUT AND POSSIBLE CRASH.
ALL OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES ARE STILL IN DEALER INVENTORY. DEALERS HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED TO ACTIVATE ALL OF THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEMS.

I PURCHASED A USED 2012 NISSAN ROGUE IN GOOD FAITH FROM ANDERSON CHEVROLET. IT WAS AS IS, SO THERE WAS NO WARRANTY. HOWEVER, THE CAR APPEARED TO BE IN GOOD SHAPE. HOWEVER, THERE IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS INVOLVING THE CVT TRANSMISSION WHERE THEY FAIL. IN SPITE OF THIS BEING A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL, NO REPROGRAMMING, NO NOTHING AND THE VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR FALLS TO THE UNKNOWING OWNER. I DO NOT HAVE AN ADDITIONAL $4-5K TO PAY FOR THIS FIX. AND I AM CURRENTLY STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LOAN FOR THIS CAR, SO I CANNOT SELL IT. SO I AM LEFT PAYING FOR A CAR THAT DOES NOT WORK, WITHOUT MEANS TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. NISSAN DISOWNS THE PROBLEM, BUT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. HOW DOES THAT WORK?

AIRBAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT IS ON, DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS, JUST THAT IT SHOULD BE REPLACED. COULD MEAN THAT MY AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY, COULD MEAN THAT IT WILL DEPLOY RANDOMLY. MY WARRANTY DID NOT COVER IT, NISSAN WILL NOT FIX IT. IT IS $1300 AND I HAVE ANOTHER HUGE PROBLEM WITH MY CAR: MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT FOR THE SECOND TIME AND MY CAR IS AT 102,000 MILES. WARRANTY COVERED IT THE FIRST TIME, JUST ENDED IN JULY AND I AM TOLD THAT NISSAN ONLY COVERS NEW TRANSMISSIONS FOR 1 YEAR OR 12,000 MILES. THIS CAR IS A LEMON. A TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT GO OUT TWICE IN 100,000 MILES. AN AIRBAG MALFUNCTION SHOULD BE COVERED, THIS IS MY SAFETY.

AFTER AN HOUR OF DRIVING ON THE FREE WAY THE CAR STARTED DEACCLERATING AND THE SPEED WOULDN'T GO ABOVE 50 EVEN WHEN I STEP ALL THE WAY ON THE GAS PEDAL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT HEARD A SQUEAKY NOISE AND FELT A VIBRATION EMERGING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED. GANLEY'S MAYFIELD NISSAN (6060 MAYFIELD ROAD, MAYFIELD HEIGHTS, OH 44124) DIAGNOSED THAT THE CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. *DT UPDATED 10/5/18*JB

CODE: B1018 PASSENGER SIDE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION ERROR. SEAT HAD TO BE REPLACED. MY FAMILY'S SAFETY WAS AT STAKE. DEALER QUOTED $2962.06 AND THEY NOTIFIED ME THE SEAT IS ON BACK-ORDER. THAT AMOUNT IS RIDICULOUS AND PROHIBITIVE FOR MY FAMILY. WE HAD MY MECHANIC WORK ON IT THE 1ST TIME AND HE RECALIBRATED THE SEAT. HE CAME BACK A SECOND TIME BUT DID NOT CHARGE SINCE IT WAS THE SAME CODE AND IT HAPPENED A DAY LATER. WE OPTED TO FIX THE ISSUE BY REPLACING THE SEAT WITH A PART FROM A SALVAGE YARD AS IT WAS LESS MONEY. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY! THE VERY FIRST TIME I NOTICED THE RESTRAINT SYSTEM LIGHT WAS DURING A 5 HOUR DRIVE (7/8/18) BUT DID NOT KNOW WHAT IT WAS UNTIL I LOOKED IT UP AFTER THE TRIP. I WAS APPALLED THAT NISSAN WOULD NOT FIX SOMETHING THAT WAS CLEARLY MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND THAT I PUT MY FAMILY AT RISK. I ALSO BELIEVE THIS ISSUE IS WHY THE SEATS ARE ON BACKORDER. I AM SURE NISSAN IS AWARE. PLEASE SEE PICTURES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. UPON DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FORWARD ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO RIVERSIDE NISSAN (8330 INDIANA AVENUE B, RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA 92504) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE BATTERY, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THAT THE CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION WAS THE CAUSE OF THE RECURRING FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

DECELERATION OF VEHICLE RESULTING IN HAVING TO PULL OVER FOR AN HOUR TO LET SOMETHING RESET. AFTER AN HOUR CAN DRIVE FOR AN HOUR BEFORE PULLING OVER AGAIN. THIS IS A RE-PROBLEM. VEHICLE DECELERATION CAN RESULT IN SPEEDS AS LOW AS 30 MPH ON HWY.

ON 2/19/14 I PURCHASED A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED 2012 NISSAN ROGUE WITH 11,258 MILES AND A 100,000 MILE WARRANTY. I AM A SINGLE MOM WITH 2 CHILDREN AND HAVE RETURNED TO SCHOOL TO MAKE A BETTER LIFE FOR US. MY ROGUE STARTED LOSING POWER WHEN DRIVING, OFTEN WHILE IN HEAVY INTERSTATE OR HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. I WILL BE TRAVELING AT 60-75 MPH AND SUDDENLY, WITHOUT WARNING, NOT BE ABLE TO GO OVER 40 EVEN WITH THE GAS PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ON 7/20/18 WITH 116,225 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I WAS INFORMED THE VALVE BODY ASSEMBLY, COOLER FLUSH KIT, EVAP CANISTER ASSEMBLY & OIL COLLAR ASSEMBLY NEED TO BE REPLACED. TOTAL COST $4,000 AND HAD TO PAY $130 FOR THIS INFORMATION! THE DEALER INFORMED ME THE DIGITAL READ OUT INDICATED MY ROGUE HAD LOST POWER 36 TIMES! A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH TURNED UP MANY OTHER OWNERS OF NISSANS WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE! NISSAN HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR CVT TRANSMISSIONS ON MODELS 2010 AND OLDER BUT REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE CONTINUES TO PLAGUE NEWER MODELS AND WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF REPAIRS. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND NHTSA NEEDS TO OPEN AN INVESTIGATION. YESTERDAY I WAS ALMOST WIPED OUT WHEN I LOST POWER WHILE TURNING A CORNER. MY CHILDREN WERE IN THE CAR! MULTIPLE REPORTS HAVE BEEN FILED WITH NHTSA WITH NO ACTION. HOW MANY NEED TO LOSE THEIR LIVES BEFORE THIS IS INVESTIGATED AND NISSAN IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSIONS?
Power train, Jul 24, 2018
CVT WHINING NOISE (HIGH FREQUENCY) GENERATED OFTEN DURING ACCEL FROM 10 TO 40 MPH. THE ISSUE STARTED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED IT ON JUL 23, 2018 AND TOLD ME ENTIRE CVT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THEY SAID CVT FLUIDS OVERHEATED AND DAMAGED CVT CHAIN. NO WARNING LIGHT OR SOME SORT OF ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ALSO THEY SAID CVT COOLING KIT NEEDS TO BE INSTALLED WHICH DIDN'T EXIST IN THE VEHICLE IN THE FIRST PLACE. LOTS OF CVT ISSUES REPORTED FROM NISSAN VEHICLES. IT IS 2012 ROGUE AND 82900 MILES. IT IS TOOL EARLY FOR TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. I THINK THIS IS MAJOR DESIGN DEFECT OR FLAW.

BOUGHT THE CAR USED WITH 50,000 MILES CVT IS DEFECTIVE SO I HAD A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE POWER TRAIN I HAD IT REPLACED.. I M ABOUT TO HAVE AN ANOTHER CATASTROPHIC FAILURE YOU PAID ALL THAT AND YOU ARE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. .WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING YOU COULD HEAR THE TRANSMISSION MAKING THUNDERING NOISE AND WHEN SHUT OFF THE CAR THE TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY .

THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE ACCELERATION COMPLETELY DROPPED. THE CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 20 MPH! THERE WAS A RECALL UP TO 2010 NISSAN ROGUE FOR THE CVT TRANSMISSION BUT DOESN'T COVER 2012. THE ERROR WAS TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SOLENOID CIRCUIT INTERMITTENT. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP SAID THEY DON'T REPLACE THAT PART AND IT NEEDS A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION FOR $5000. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE OTHER VEHICLES IN 2012 HAVE A RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION BUT NOT THE ROGUE.
Power train, Jul 16, 2018
WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEED, ENGINE RPM WOULD GO UP WITHOUT HITTING ACCELERATOR, THEN NO MATTER HOW MUCH I PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR I COULD NOT GET THE CAR UP TO SPEED TO PASS OTHER VEHICLES. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP FOR EVALUATION. EITHER NEED TO SPEND $3000 FOR A 'TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER' OR $4000 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION.

SALT LAKE CITY, UT OWNER. 2012 NISSAN ROGUE S AWD, WITH A CVT. 2015 OCT, I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USE WITH 96K MILES, STILL WITHIN THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY (DIFFERENT OWNER). 2 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE DURING AN ATTEMPT TO VACATION, WE ARRIVE IN ST. GEORGE WITH A SMOKING ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND LOSS OF FLUIDS, LOSS OF SPEED ON FREEWAY. THE TRANSMISSION BLEW DUE TO IT OVERHEATING. IT OVER HEATING DUE TO THE POORLY MANUFACTURED COOLING PORTION OF THE CVT. WHICH RESULTING IN THE TRANSMISSION BEING OVERHEATED AND "BLOWN". THE NISSAN DEALER IN ST. GEORGE CHARGED MY PURCHASED EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE REPLACEMENT. JUNE 6TH, 2017. (1.5 YEARS LATER, 7 MONTHS OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY AND 124,500 MILES) TRAVELING TO GRAND JUNCTION. VEHICLE STARTED MIMICKING SIMILAR ISSUES AS PRIOR, AGAIN WITH THE LOSS OF SPEED. HAD TO REPLACE THE COOLING PORTION OF THE UNIT. THEY UPGRADED IT TO THE "BETTER" VERSION (THE EXTERNAL COOLER) THAT WOULD PREVENT THE TRANSMISSION FROM OVER HEATING. JULY 7TH, 2018. 1 MONTH OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY FOR THE EXTERNAL COOLER AND 136,907 MILES. TRAVELING TO TWIN FALLS. SAME ISSUES START OCCURRING, AGAIN LOSS OF SPEED ON FREEWAY. TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 7/9 WHERE I WAS ADVISED THAT MY TRANSMISSION HAD WENT INTO FAIL SAFE MODE 111 TIMES. LEADING TO NEED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ONCE AGAIN DUE TO THE EXTERNAL COOLER NOT DOING ITS JOB ONCE AGAIN. LOSS OF SPEED ON A FREEWAY IS A SAFETY HAZARD. NISSAN HAS RECALLED OTHER MODELS CVT PROBLEMS, BUT NOT THE ROGUE. PLEASE HELP US OBTAIN THAT RECALL ON ALL ROGUE MODELS REGARDLESS OF MILES. I HAVE CONTACT NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS, I OPENED A CASE WHICH WENT TO REVIEW. SUBSEQUENTLY BEING DENIED FOR "GOODWILL ASSISTANCE" ON 7/10 AT 5:20 PM FOR ASSISTANCE ON ANOTHER $5,000 REPAIR DUE TO DEFECTIVE MANUFACTURING DUE TO THE VEHICLE BEING OUTSIDE OF THE 60,000 MILE MANUFACTURE WARRANTY.
Air bags, Structure, Engine, Jul 6, 2018, crash
FRONTAL IMPACT CAUSED AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY EXCEPT THE PASSENGER FRONT (NO PASSENGER) AND THE PASSENGER REAR SIDE (PASSENGER PRESENT) . NISSAN CLAIMS NO DEPLOYMENT OF SIDE AIRBAG IS BECAUSE NO DIRECT "T-BONE" IMPACT ON PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE WAS SENSED. NISSAN ALSO CLAIMS THAT THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DID PROPERLY BECAUSE IT SENSED A POTENTIAL ROLLOVER SITUATION. NISSAN WAS MOVING ON CITY STREET AND HIT (T-BONED) A TRUCK PULLING A HEAVY LOADED TRAILER THAT RAN A RED LIGHT. REAR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED!

WHILE DRIVING 80 MILES PER HOUR ON A WYOMING INTERSTATE, MY 2012 NISSAN ROGUE SHUT OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE EVEN WHILE PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR WOULD ONLY ACCELERATE TO 65 MPH AND WOULD NOT RESET TO NORMAL SPEEDS OR ACCELERATION PATTERNS UNTIL I PULLED OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND LET IT COOL DOWN FOR 15-30 MINUTES. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIPS IN FORT COLLINS, COLORADO AND BILLINGS, MONTANA SAID THIS ISSUE AROSE IN SEVERAL NISSAN ROGUES OF DIFFERENT YEARS. NISSAN FIXED 2010 AND EARLIER MODELS ON THEIR DIME, BUT HAVE NOT PAID FOR REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION COOLERS WITH LARGER COOLERS FOR THE 2011 OR LATER MODELS. THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION COOLERS IN 2012 NISSAN ROGUES UP TO THIS POINT.
Vehicle speed control, Jun 30, 2018
WHEN DRIVING FOR SO LONG AS IN LONG DISTANCE THE VEHICLE WON'T ACCELERATE. SPEED LIMIT COULD BE 75 MPH AND AFTER ON THE HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT A HOUR CAR SPEED WILL DROP AND WON'T ACCELERATE PASS 60 MPH. GAS PEDAL COULD BE ALL THE WAY DOWN AND STILL WON'T ACCELERATE.
Fuel/propulsion system, Jun 29, 2018
DRIVING ON A HOT DAY, 104, CAR LOST ACCELERATION. DID NOT OVERHEAT. WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 60 MPH. PARKED CAR OVERNIGHT AND THE NEXT DAY IT RAN FINE. HAD TRANSMISSION FLUID CHECKED AND MECHANIC DROPPED PAN BUT SO NO SIGNS OF MECHANICAL FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION. MY OPINION - FUEL VAPORIZATION?

I WAS TRAVELING 70 MPH ON A HIGHWAY, USING CRUISE, WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED RACING AND THE RPM SURGED. I DISENGAGED THE CRUISE AND THE RPM'S IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO NORMAL. HOWEVER, AS SOON AS I STEPPED ON THE GAS, THE RPM'S AGAIN SURGED. AFTER THIS HAPPENED THREE OR FOUR TIMES, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT EXCEED 60 MPH. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY WITHIN A SHORT DISTANCE. THERE WAS A TRAFFIC LIGHT AT THE END OF THE EXIT, WHICH WAS RED AND I STOPPED. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, MY CAR WOULD NOT INITIALLY ACCELERATE OR MOVE. AFTER A SHORT TIME, THE CAR DID THEN START ACCELERATING AND I WAS ABLE TO ONCE AGAIN DRIVE. I THEN STOPPED AT THE NEAREST PARKING LOT. MY TRAVELING COMPANION PROCEEDED TO FIND AN AUTO SHOP THAT WAS OPEN, AS IT WAS ABOUT 7:00 AT NIGHT. THEY RAN A SCAN AND DETERMINED THERE WAS A FAILURE WITH MY TRANSMISSION. I WAS OVER 50 MILES AWAY FROM HOME, ON MY WAY TO A VACATION RESERVATION. UNFORTUNATELY, I HAD TO RETURN HOME. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR ON BACK ROADS, TRAVELING ABOUT 35-40 MPH. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE HAD A TRANSMISSION SHOP AND THE NISSAN DEALER ALSO CONFIRM THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED REPLACED. THE CAR HAD A LITTLE OVER 70,000 MILES. I FIND THIS ENTIRELY UNACCEPTABLE FOR A 2012 WITH THAT NUMBER OF MILES. SUBSEQUENT RESEARCH HAS SHOW THAT NISSAN HAS A HISTORY OF PROBLEMS WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I ALSO FOUND MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS ON AN ARRAY OF WEBSITES ABOUT MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE HAVING TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT A VARIETY OF MILES. I ALSO FOUND REPORTS OF THE TRANSMISSION FAILING WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED. I DID CONTACT NISSAN'S REGIONAL CONSUMER AFFAIRS. AFTER JUMPING THROUGH THEIR HOOPS, I WAS DECLINED ANY "GOOD WILL ASSISTANCE". THIS WAS DUE TO THE CAR'S MILEAGE BEING OVER WARRANTY AND NO PREVIOUSLY DOCUMENTED ISSUES WITH MY PERSONAL VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION.

CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURE. AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE PARKWAY HIS CAR WILL JUST SLOW DOWN TO A CRAWL CAUSING A DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITION. THE CAR WILL BARELY MOVE AND MANY OTHER VEHICLES HAVE COME VERY CLOSE TO HITTING ME DUE TO THE SLOW SPEED THAT THE CAR WILL GO. COMPLAINED TO NISSAN BUT SINCE CAR IS 11 MONTHS PAST WARRANTY WAS TOLD THEY WILL NOT HELP EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 25 MPH. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE AND THE TRANSMISSION SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. SERRA NISSAN IN BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 113,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

MANY TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, USUALLY GOING UPHILL, I HAVE TROUBLES WITH THE VEHICLE'S ACCELERATION. THE CAR STARTS TO MAKE A FUNNY SOUND, AS IF IT'S TRYING TO ACCELERATE, BUT IS UNABLE TO. I'VE HAD TO PULL OVER BECAUSE THE CAR WILL SLOW DOWN AND WILL NOT GO PAST LIKE 40 MILES PER HOUR, EVEN IF I'M STEPPING ON THE GAS. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE I'M TYPICALLY NOT IN THE SLOW LANE, SO I START TO IMPEDE TRAFFIC WHEN THIS HAPPENS, AND CARS GET REALLY CLOSE TO HITTING ME.

I WAS DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, TRAVELING THE SPEED LIMIT (65 MPH) WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN DECELERATING. THE VEHICLE'S SPEED DECREASED FROM 65 MPH TO 0 MPH IN LESS THAN TWO MINUTES. I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AND THE RPM INDICATOR ADVANCED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE SPEED DECREASED. WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR PREVIOUS PROBLEM, THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY DIED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE DURING RUSH HOUR. I WAS IN THE CENTER DRIVING LANE AND WAS TRAVELING WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE TRAFFIC ONTO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE, WHERE I WAS STRANDED FOR 2.5 HOURS. SINCE MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN DISABLED, I HAVE CONDUCTED RESEARCH ON OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS THAT HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES WITH NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSIONS. MOREOVER, NISSAN HAS HAD SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION FOR OVER A DECADE. DESPITE GOVERNMENTAL OVERSIGHT AND THE COMPANY HAVING TO CORRECT DEFECTS, NISSAN CONTINUES TO MANUFACTURE THESE DANGEROUS VEHICLES. LIFE AND SAFETY SHOULD BE A PRIORITY FOR INNOCENT BUYERS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC. MY LOCAL NISSAN LEADERSHIP HAS DIAGNOSED AND CONFIRMED MY VEHICLE'S PROBLEM AND CONCLUDED THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION MUST BE REPLACED. ASIDE FROM HAVING A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION, MY VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.

VEHICLE IN THE SHOP FOR A MAJOR OIL LEAK, 2 KEY FOBS DON'T WORK, RECALL, LEAKING SUNROOF, AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHING. QUOTED 3500 TO REPLACE SEAT/MODULE, 350. FOR OIL ISSUE, 1400. SUNROOF. I INHERITED THIS CAR IN 2013 WHEN MY MOTHER PASSED AWAY AND IT ONLY HAS 20000 MILES ON IT. I COULD BUY ANOTHER NEWER USED CAR AT THIS RATE!! THIS IS REDICULOUS FOR A VEHICLE WITH SO LOW MILES TO HAVE THIS MANY ISSUES. AT THIS RATE I WILL NEVER PURCHASE OR RECOMMEND NISSAN AGAIN. PLEASE ADVISE. THANKS, DEB
