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.

VEHICLE LOSES POWER ON OCCASION AFTER BEING DRIVEN FOR MORE THAN A HALF AN HOUR
Power train, Oct 24, 2019
I'VE BEEN HAVE SHAKING AND DELAYS WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. IT HAS ALTOGETHER FAILED NOW AND I'VE ONLY OWNED THE VEHICLE SINCE THE END 2017. IT DIDN'T LAST TWO YEARS. THERE IS NO WAY I WILL REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS AGAIN. SHAME ON NISSAN FOR NOT VALUING THEIR CUSTOMERS ENOUGH TO FIX THE CVT PROBLEMS. IF YOU'VE SETTLED IN COURT, THERE SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL ON ALL CVT TRANSMISSIONS. I WISH I KNEW ABOUT THE CVT ISSUES, I WOULD HAVE STEERED CLEAR OF NISSAN VEHICLES. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET WHEN IT WENT OUT. COULDN'T ACCELERATE AT A STOP LIGHT.

AIRBAG LIGHT IS FLASHING. I HAVE A 2013 ROGUE ONLY 47K MILES. TOOK TO DEALER, AFTER 150.00 TO DIAGONOSE . THEY SAID THEY FOUND CODE STORED FOR PAST AIRBAG..PAST??? AND THEY HAVE A PROCEDURE. THEY RESET IT BUT IT CAME BACK ON. NEXT...THEY SAID THEY HAVE TO CHANGE THE SPIRAL CABLE- PART ALONE IS 682.00 AND IF THAT DOESNT DO IT, THEN THEY HAVE TO GO TO THE CONTROL BOARD AND THATS 1020.00 FOR PART... THEY ARE THE DEALER....BESIDES BEING A SAFETY ISSUE, HOW CAN THEY NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THE PROBLEM IS?? I CALLED NISSAN TO PUT IN A CLAIM. THEY ARE WILLING TO TAKE SOME MONEY OFF THE SPIRAL CABLE, BUT WHY AM I PAYING FOR THAT IF THEY AREN'T EVEN SURE THAT IS THE PROBLEM!!! THERE ABSOLUTELY SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS...HOW CAN WE GET THIS DONE?

MY VEHICLE CONTINUES TO GO INTO LIMP MODE WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. A MECHANIC STATES THAT IT THE CVT, TRANSMISSION ISSUE. I JUST WENT OVER MY WARRANTY AND NOW I'M GOING TO HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET 3,000-5,000 DOLLARS TO HAVE FIXED. I HAVE SPOKE WITH MANY OTHERS THAT HAVE THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL, 2013-2018 WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I WAS IN THE FAST LANE AND MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT TAKE THE GAS AND ENDED UP ON THE SIDE OF THE RODE THREE TIMES DURING MY TRIP. ONCE I TURNED MY VEHICLE OFF, IT WOULD DRIVE NORMAL UNTIL I DROVE FOR ANOTHER HOUR OR MORE.

MYSELF WITH MY 6 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WERE DRIVING FROM NEW HAVEN, CT TO FITCHBURG, MA. ABOUT 1 HOUR INTO THE DRIVE, MY 2013 NISSAN ROGUE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND 40MPH!!! WE WERE IN STEADY FAST MOVING TRAFFIC ON A HOT JULY 20TH, 2018 AFTERNOON, HEATWAVE WEATHER! IT WAS TERRIFYING!!! I PUT ON MY BLINKERS AND SLOWLY VEERED TO THE RIGHT LANE! I HAD TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY AND MAKE IT TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION. AFTER SEVERAL FRANTIC CALLS TO FAMILY MEMBERS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO, I DECIDED TO ADD ENGINE OIL, ANTI-FREEZE, GAS AND WATER HOPING SOMETHING WOULD HELP. AFTER SITTING FOR AN HOUR, I DROVE ON THE LOCAL ROADS TO TRY OUT THE CAR AGAIN BUT REALIZED I HAD TO GET BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AND TRY TO ACCELERATE ABOVE 60MPH AGAIN!!!! WE MADE IT TO OUR 3 HOUR TRIP DESTINATION. THE NEXT DAY ON THE WAY BACK, THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AND THIS TIME AFTER STOPPING FOR A WHILE MY CAR STILL WOULD NOT ACCELERATE UNTIL WE SAT WITH THE CAR OFF FOR AN HOUR IN THE HEAT IN A TOWN THAT I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH! WE HAD TO USE ALL LOCAL ROADS TO GET BACK HOME AND THAT TOOK DOUBLE THE TIME BECAUSE I HAD TO KEEP PULLING OVER SO THE CAR COULD COOL OFF SOME!!!! SEVERAL MECHANICS HAVE TOLD ME THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. IT IS TOO EXPENSIVE TO FIX RIGHT NOW!!! I'M SO DISGUSTED WITH THIS CAR AND CANNOT WAIT TO GET RID OF IT!!!! IF A LOCATION TAKES OVER AN HOUR TO GET TO, I CAN'T DRIVE THIS CAR!!! MY CAR IS A PEARL WHITE COLOR. THE PAINT PEELING ON THE HOOD AND SIDES OF THE DOOR IS A WHOLE OTHER FRUSTRATING PROBLEM THAT GETS WORSE AND WORSE!!!

MY DAUGHTER WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND WHEN SHE TRIED TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. SHE WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND AFTER A FEW MINS & A TRIP TO ADVANCE AUTO PARTS & THEN A MECHANIC SHE WAS TOLD TO BRING IT HOME. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SHE PULLED INTO ANOTHER ADVANCED AUTO PARTS AND THEY RESET IT. SHE LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING OVER 50 MPH ON BACK ROADS AND THE INTERSTATE SEVERAL MORE TIMES. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. WE WERE TOLD SHE NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION AND IT ONLY HAS 82K MILES. SHE'S A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT AND DOESN'T HAVE $3,700 SO THE CAR JUST SITS WHILE SHE STILL MAKES PAYMENTS.

HI, I HAVE A 2013 NISSAN ROGUE. THE TPMS LIGHT CAME ON WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. ITS NOT GOING OFF EVEN AFTER ADJUSTING THE TIRE PRESSURE TO THE CORRECT VALUE MANY TIMES. I HAD THE SAME ISSUE WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, THAT TIME DEALER ADJUSTED IT. NOW THE DEALERSHIP IS ASKING FOR $150 TO RECTIFY THAT

TRANSMISSION SQUEALS WHEN DRIVING

IT APPEARS THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS AND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FILED. I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NOT EVEN A MONTH AGO BUT IT'S PAST THE WARRANTY

WE WERE TRAVELING DOWN I 65 IN KENTUCKY AT INTERSTATE SPEED WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR JUST LOST POWER. THE CAR WOULD BARELY GO 40MPH. WE WERE ONLY A FEW MILES FROM HOME SO WE LIMPED THE CAR HOME. I JUST PURCHASED THE CAR ON THE 18TH 2 DAYS BEFORE. THE PROBLEM IS THE CVT TRANSMISSION BUT THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO ADMIT THAT IS WHAT'S WRONG. GILLIE HYDE IN GLASGOW KY. I'M A PARALYZED ARMY VET AND LIVE ON A FIXED INCOME AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPAIR THE CAR. NISSAN KNEW THE PROBLEMS WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS BUT CHOSE TO CONTINUE MANUFACTURING THE 2013 ROGUE KNOWING THE HAZARDOUS TRANSMISSION AND HOW IT COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS.

A MONTH AGO I WAS HAVING ACCELERATION ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE. I WAS AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND COULD NOT MAKE THE LEFT TURN BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL MY VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND HAD IT TOWED. I BROUGHT IT TO NISSAN AND PAID ALMOST $5K FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. (2ND TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT IN THE LAST 3 YEARS). A MONTH LATER HAVING SAME ACCELERATION ISSUE, NISSAN A WEEK LATER SAID I NEEDED A FUEL PUMP. DROVE HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP AFTER PAYING ANOTHER $915 AND MY VEHICLE IS GIVING OFF A BURNING SMELL, MAKING HORRIBLE NOISE WHICH WASN'T PRESENT PREVIOUSLY AND STRUGGLING TO DRIVE.

2013 NISSAN ROGUE, 100,000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE SOUTH DOWN THE INTERSTATE FROM CHARLESTON TO ORLANDO, ~70 MPH, DRIVING NORMALLY IN JUNE 2019. AROUND THE GA/FL BORDER, WHEN I WOULD HIT THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE, THE SPEDOMETER WOULDN'T GO HIGHER. THE ENGINE WOULD REV, AND THE RPMS WOULD INCREASE TO 3-4,000. HAPPENED FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES UNTIL I GOT TO AN OFF-RAMP. AFTER THE CAR COOLED DOWN FOR 45 MINUTES, WE GOT BACK ON THE ROAD SINCE IT WAS A SUNDAY NIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE GA, KINGSTON TO BE EXACT. IT DROVE WELL FOR THE REST OF THE DRIVE DOWN TO ORLANDO WITH STOPS EVERY HOUR. SAME THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY UP FROM ORLANDO TO CHARLOTTE, RPMS WENT UP, SPEDOMETER DIDN'T MOVE. LET THE CAR COOL AND THEN IT DROVE FINE AT LOWER SPEEDS. TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHEN I GOT BACK AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE TRANSMISSION AS HAVING A FAULTY TORQUE CONVERTER, P0744 WAS THE CODE THAT CAME BACK. 12 HOURS OF LABOR, SAYING THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. FOUND THE SERVICE BULLETIN: NTB16-090, AND IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S SPOT ON, HAPPENED AFTER PROLONGED DRIVING IN HIGH TEMPERATURES. AFTER READING THE BULLETIN, IT CONNECTS THE DOTS FOR WHY MY ENGINE WOULD SOUND WEIRD WHEN I WAS DRIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS, THE ENGINE WOULD START TO SOUND REALLY TRYING AFTER SOME TIME. SAW THAT A NUMBER OF NISSAN VEHICLES HAVE BEEN RECALLED DUE TO FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSIONS, AND I DON'T KNOW WHY NISSAN 2013 ROGUES HAVE NOT BEEN RECALLED YET.

THE TRANSMISSION "STALLED" STOPPED OPERATING AS I WAS AT 55 MPH, AT THE END OF A STEEP UPHILL ONRAMP MERGING ONTO HWY 395 FROM HWY 70 IN EASTERN CALIFORNIA. NO WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH SHOWED. ALMOST GOT RAN OVER BY A LARGE TRUCK. I MANAGED TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE HWY. AFTER RESTING THERE FOR 20 MINUTES OR SO, THE TRANSMISSION WORKED PARTIALLY AND I LIMPED IT INTO RENO WITH THE FLASHERS ON. THE NISSAN MECHANIC IN RENO TOLD ME "THEY DO THAT WHEN THEY GET TOO HOT." THIS IS DANGEROUS.

I DID A RESEARCH ON THE 2013 NISSAN ROGUE. 2YRS AGO ON THE SAME TRUCK.WELL ANYWAY I DIDN'T THINK I WOULD HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH MY TRUCK UNTIL NOW. THE TRANSMISSION HAS NOW FAILED IN MY TRUCK. ITS HAS STALLED ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND HIGHWAY WHICH IS A DANGER TO ME AND OTHER CARS ON THE STREET. THE ELECTRICAL IN THE TRUCK WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE OVER THE SPEED LIMIT OR NOT THE TRUCK WILL START TO OVERHEAT AND SHUT DOWN ON ME IN THE STREET. THEN I WOULD HAVE TO SEAT AND WAIT AROUND AN HALF HOUR TO AN HOUR. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS FOR AWHILE BUT DIDN'T EXPECT IT TO GET THIS BAD.

WHEN DRIVING, THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS WITH NO INDICATORS. IT STARTS TO LOSE SPEED AND REV VERY HIGH WHILE THE VEHICLE CONTINUOUSLY DROPS IN SPEED. THE DIAGNOSTIC CAME BACK THAT IT WAS A DEFAULT IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR ALSO JERKS, REVS, AND IS VERY LOUD.
