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.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH, WHEN CAR SUDDENLY REDUCED TO 50 MHP IN JACKSON MS, ALMOST GOT HIT FROM BEHIND BY 18 WHEELER. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IN MERIDIAN MS AND THEY STATED THE CAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND DAMAGE ARE DUE TO BOILING COOLANT. THE BOILING COOLANT IS CAUSED BY THE COOLANT SYSTEM THAT CAN NOT COOL THE COOLANT LIQUID FAST ENOUGH. THIS ONLY HAPPENS IF YOU ARE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY FOR A VERY LONG HOURS. DEALER SUGGESTED REPLACING THE CVT TRANSMISSION ($4000), NISSAN ADVICES TO ADD A SECOND EXTERNAL CVT OIL COOLER KIT ($900) TO PREVENT COOLANT LIQUID FROM BOILING AND TO PROTECT THE TRANSMISSION. I HAD EXTENDED WARRANTY, THEY WILL NOT COVER THIS ISSUE. IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE AND IT'S NISSAN'S DESIGN FLAW. WARRANTY COMPANIES KNOW ABOUT IT AND THEY WILL NOT COVER FOR THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE DESPITE OF THEIR CONTRACT SAYS TRANSMISSION IS COVERED. NISSAN OFFERED TO PAY FOR HALF OF THE REPAIRS. THEY DID ADMIT IT WAS A DESIGN FLAW ON PHONE.

IN APRIL OF 2017 WHILE DRIVING THER WA A METAL ON METAL SOUND COMING FROM UNDERNETH THE CAR WHILE STEPPING OR ACCERLATING ON THE GAS. AFTER TAKING TO MY MECHANIC I WAS ADVISE THAT I NEEDED A NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER THERE WAS NO ENGINE LIGHT NOTIFICATION. I RECIEVED A LETTER IN NOVEMBER 2017 FROM NISSAN STATING THAT THE EVAPORATIVE EMISSION VAPOR TUBE MAY DEVELOP A CLOG. AFTER SPEAKING WITH MY MECHANIC HE STATED I SHOULD FILED A CLAIM WHICH I DID . NISSAN STATED THAT MY NEW CATALYIC CONVERTER HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH MY EMMISSIONS. I REFILED MY CLIAM AFTER HAVING MY MECHANIC WROTE A NARRATIVE I THEN RECIEVE AN E-MAIL FROM NISSAN STATING THAT AFTER REVIEWING MY VEHICLE INDENTIFICATION NUMBER, THERE IS NO EVAPORATIVE VENT TUBE WARRANTY EXTENSION RELATED TO THE VIN AND THOSE WOULD BE THE REASONS WHY THE REQUEST WOULD BE DEINED.

I WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOSS POWER, THE CAR NEVER TURNED OFF BUT AS I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE SO I HAD TO COAST FROM THE LEFT LANE ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT LANE TO GET TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. MIND YOU THERE IS ONCOMING TRAFFIC BLOWING THERE HORN BECAUSE OF COURSE I'M CLEARLY NOT GOING THE SPEED LIMIT ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE ME TO THE CLOSEST NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHICH I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH BECAUSE I'M OUT OF TOWN. BUT ONCE I GET THERE THEY TELL ME MY TRANSMISSION IS OUT AND I NEED A NEW ONE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2013 BRAND NEW I'M THE ONLY DRIVER AND MY TRANSMISSION GOES OUT IN 2017. I STILL DON'T BELIEVE IT'S MY TRANSMISSION BUT WHO AM I TO ARGUE BUT I HAVE TO PUT UP $4,200 AND I'M STILL PAYING ON THIS VEHICLE!!! I SHOULD HAVE WENT WITH MY FIRST MIND AND GOT MY CADILLAC. I WILL BE TRADING THIS NISSAN ROGUE IN AND INFORM EVERYONE I KNOW NOT TO PURCHASE A NISSAN AT ALL. MY WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER A THING, WOW!!! I'VE HAD 2 OTHER MECHANICS LOOK AT AND THEY SAY IT COULD BE MY SENSORS BECAUSE MY SPEEDOMETER STILL MOVES WHEN YOU GIVE IT GAS AND IF IT SITS A WHILE IT WILL GO FORWARD AND BACKWARD BUT NOT FOR OVER A MILE OR TWO. I REALLY WASTED MY MONEY ON THIS VEHICLE.

TAMARA RECALL I WAS DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY AND OR DOG WHEN THE CAR WENT FROM 50MILE A HR. TO 25 MILE A HR. WITH OUT ANY NOTICE AND THIS HAPPENED ON A ROAD WHERE THERE IS A LOT OF TRAFFIC AND THERE IS NO ROOM TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY STOP SO I WITH ONLINE TO SEE IF OTHER PEOPLE WHERE HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS LIKE THERE IS A WHOLE COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM THE NISSAN IS AWARE OF IT AND THEY'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE I READ ABOUT SOMEBODY ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 65 MILES AN HOUR IN THEIR CAR DROP DOWN TO 30 MILES AN HOUR AND THEY HAD TO CALL FOR A TOW TRUCK I FEEL THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS AND IT NEEDS TO BE TALKED INTO I THINK THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS ARE A GOOD IDEA BUT THERE'S A LOT OF FLAWS AND SAFETY ISSUES WITH THEM IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL SOMEBODY GETS AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THEIR CVT FAILED AND I DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN TO ME OR MY FAMILY OR ANYBODY ELSE IN THEIR FAMILY!!

ON JANUARY 23, 2015 THERE WAS A RECALL OF MY VEHICLE. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED BY MY DEALER OF THE RECALL. I JUST SAW IT TODAY WHEN CHECKING MY CREDIT KARMA ACCOUNT. MY NISSAN DEALERSHIP SHOULD HAVE INSPECTED THE KICK PANEL WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR ON MY CAR FOR DAMAGE. IF NO DAMAGE WAS DETECTED, MY VEHICLE WAS SUPPOSED TO RECEIVE A WATERPROOF SEAL FOR THE HARNESS. IF DAMAGE WAS FOUND, THE DEALER WAS TO INSTALL A NEW HARNESS CONNECTOR AND THE WATERPROOF SEAL.

I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION GETTING READY TO CROSS ONTO THE HIGHWAY, WHEN I NOTICED THAT MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT FULLY ACCELERATE. WHEN I GOT OVER 40MPH, I BEGAN TO HEAR STRANGE NOISES COMING FROM MY ENGINE, LIKE A WHISTLING OR WINING SOUND. I HAVE PREVIOUSLY HEARD LIKE A SQUEAKING NOISE WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE BEFORE, BUT THOUGHT THAT MAYBE IT WAS MY BRAKES, BECAUSE I OLD HEARD IT SOMETIMES WHEN I WOULD COME TO A STOP, OR PULL OFF. JUST LAST MONTH I PUT A NEW BATTERY IN MY VEHICLE, BUT MY CAR JUST SHUT DOWN ON ME ONE NIGHT WHILE I WAS OUT. THEN A COUPLE WEEKS LATER I NOTICE THESE NOISES I JUST REFERED TO. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THEN COMES ON MAYBE A WEEK OR TWO AFTER I JUST PUT A NEW BATTERY INSIDE MY CAR! AGAIN I THINK MAYBE ITS JUST SOMETHING SMALL. I ALWAYS GET REGULAR MAINTENANCE DONE, SO I KNEW THAT I WAS DUE FOR A TRANSMISSION FLUSH AISO..NOT A MECHANIC, SO THINKING THAT MAYBE THAT WAS WHY MY LIGHT WAS ON. I THEN ENDED UP PAYING ABOUT $200 FOR THE FLUSH, AND MY LIGHT WAS STILL ON. I WENT TO A COUPLE DIFFERENT AUTO SHOPS AND LET THEN CHECK MY LIGHT ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO A NISSAN DEALER BECAUSE THEY THINK ITS THE TRANSMISSION OR MAYBE THE O2 SENSOR, BUT ONLY A NISSAN DEALER CAN CONFIRM THAT!. SO I DID, ONLY TO SPEND AN EXTRA ALMOST $100 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, WHEN I TOLD THEM WHAT WAS SAID. SO FINAL RESULTS: I NEED TO REPLACE MY CTV TRANSMISSION ON THIS VEHICLE THAT I HAVE ONLY HAD SINCE FEB. 2016 AND STILL HAVE A LOAN OUT!!! AND FILE 2 CLAIMS WITH NISSAN, THAT TOOK TEN DAYS, ONLY FOR THEM TO TELL MY THEY WILL NOT BE REIMBURSING, OR REPLACING, OR ASSISTING WITH THIS BECAUSE THEY VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A CURRENT RECALL FOR THIS MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR. HOWEVER, THEY ARE AWARE THAT THERE ARE RECALLS ON PREVIOUS MODELS OF THE SAME VEHICLE FOR THE SAME ISSUE!!!!!!!

WITH AROUND 60K MILES I NOTICED THAT WHEN DRIVING EXTENDED DISTANCES, MY NISSAN ROGUE WOULD NOT ALLOW ME ACCELERATE PASS 65MPH. I HAD NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS BEFORE SO I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT EVALUATED AND SEE IF ANY COMPUTER CODES POPPED UP. NOTHING CAME UP. THIS ISSUE KEPT GOING ON SO I TOOK IT BACK A YEAR LATER AROUND 79K MILES AND SUDDENLY SOME CODES APPEARED FOR CVT ISSUES. THEY SAID I WOULD NEED AN ENTIRELY NEW CVT. I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING THIS WITH NISSAN AND HAVE FOUND NO RESOLUTION. I DON'T FEEL LIKE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO COVER SEEING AS THOUGH THERE WAS AN EXTENDED NISSAN WARRANTY ISSUED OF 120,000 MILES/10 YEARS FOR 2010 AND EARLIER MODELS. OBVIOUSLY, THEY HAVEN'T FIXED THE ISSUES BECAUSE THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OWNERS HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. GOOGLE IT OR SEARCH NISSAN FORUMS. IT'S NOT FAIR TO THE CONSUMER. I AM A SINGLE MOM AND STILL HAVE OVER $16K TO PAY ON THIS VEHICLE. IT IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. I WAS DRIVING OUT OF TOWN FOR THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY WITH MY 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT INTO FULL LIMP MODE ON THE INTERSTATE JEOPARDIZING OUR SAFETY. MY CAR ENDED UP BEING LEFT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. NOW I HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO TOW IT BACK TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHEN FINANCES ARE ALREADY TIGHT DURING THIS TIME OF THE YEAR IN A ONE INCOME HOUSEHOLD. NISSAN SEEMS UNINTERESTED IN ISSUING A NEW EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THESE VEHICLES BUT MAYBE THIS IS SOMETHING NHTSA CAN PUSH FOR. SOMEONE HAS TO LOOK OUT FOR THE CONSUMER. ANY HELP WITH THIS ISSUE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANKS!

MY 2013 NISSAN ROGUE SUDDENLY BEGAN LOSING ACCELERATION ABILITY. THE RPM'S WOULD REV UP HIGH WITH NO INCREASE IN SPEED. THIS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC WITH THE CAR BEHIND ME HAVING TO SLAM ON BRAKES OR SWERVE TO AVOID IMPACT. EVEN MORE DANGEROUS, THE VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS WHEN TURNING LEFT ACROSS TRAFFIC LANES. EVEN WITH PLENTY OF TIME TO TURN, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AS IT BARELY CRAWLED WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC COMING QUICKLY. IF THE OTHER VEHICLES HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO SLOW DOWN OR CHANGE LANES TO AVOID MY SEEMINGLY STALLED CAR, THERE WOULD'VE BEEN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN TRAFFIC, TURNING ACROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANES, AS WELL AS PULLING OUT ONTO HIGHWAYS & BUSY STREETS. I WAS TOO TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR FEAR OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD KILL MY SELF & MY CHILDREN THAT I HAD TO STOP DRIVING MY NISSAN UNTIL I COULD GET ENOUGH MONEY TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. I AM SELF-EMPLOYED SO THIS CAUSED A MAJOR HARDSHIP. I AM CONVINCED THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION WILL CAUSE SERIOUS AND FATAL ACCIDENTS, AND PROBABLY ALREADY HAS, IF NISSAN DOES NOT DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS FLAWED TRANSMISSION.

IF YOU HAVE A SUSTAINED SPEED OF OVER 40 MPH FOR 30 MINUTES OR MORE THE CAR WILL STOP ACCELERATING. HTTP://M.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/NISSAN/ROGUE/2013/ SHOWN ON THE LINK THIS IS VERY COMMON AND VERY DANGEROUS. THE ROGUE IS EXPECTED TO BE A REASONABLY PRICED SAFE CAR AND NO ONE SHOULD EXPECT A $4,500 REPAIR (20% OF THE PURCHASE PRICE) AT 45,000 MILES. NISSAN KNOWS OF THIS COMMON PROBLEM AND HAS CHOSEN TO IGNORE IT.

CVT TRANSMISSION WITH 117,000 MILES. TOLD BY DEALER I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION @ A COST OF $4K FOR A REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION. NISSAN EXTENDED TRANSMISSION WARRANTY TO 120,000 MILES FOR '03-'10 NISSAN ROGUE MODEL YEARS BUT REFUSE TO PAY FOR OR AT LEAST PARTIALLY COVER COST TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION. DEALER SAID NISSAN ROGUE CVT TRANSMISSIONS CONTINUES TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR MODEL YEARS LATER THEN 2010. NISSAN WILL ONLY WARRANTY A REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION FOR 1 YEAR OR 12,000 MILES WHICH SHOWS NISSAN HAS LITTLE CONFIDENCE IN THE EXISTING DESIGN OF THEIR CVT TRANSMISSIONS.

AT APPROXIMATELY 6:30AM, I WOKE UP TO MY VEHICLE ALARM SOUNDING. THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND TO THE REMOTE WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO SHUT IT OFF. I WENT TO CHECK WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM AS THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. FDNY WAS CALLED TO PUT OUT THE FIRE.

THE CAR HAS WENT INTO LIMP MODE SEVERAL TIMES. ONCE WITH TWO SMALL KIDS ON THE INTERSTATE ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE LATEST TIME I WAS UNABLE TO GET IT OUT OF LIMP MODE AND HAD JUST EXITED THE INTERSTATE. NOW I HAVE A WONDERFUL YARD ORNAMENT ON WHICH I MAKE PAYMENTS. THERE HAS TO BE A RECALL AT SOME POINT. AFTER READING ON THE INTERNET IT IS NOT AN IISOLATED EVENT. WILL A FAMILY NEED TO DIE TO GET THIS FIXED?

A LITTLE OVER 2 MONTHS OF BUYING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED A LIGHT ON THE DASH BROAD SO I BOUGHT IT IN TO BE SERVICED ONLY TO FIND OUT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG CLUTCH. AS LONG AS THE MOTOR WAS RUNNING THE LIGHT WOULD STAY ON.

HALF WAY INTO A 4 HOUR TRIP HOME FROM THE BEACH, ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, OUR 2013 NISSAN ROGUE EXPERIENCED LOSS OF ACCELERATION. THE TEMPERATURE THIS DAY WAS PROBABLY AROUND 85 DEGREES. WE HAD BEEN TRAVELING AT AN AVERAGE SPEED OF 70-75 MPH. WITH THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, IT WOULD NOT GO OVER 60 MPH, AND WOULD START TO DECELERATE EVEN FURTHER GOING UP HILLS. WE DECIDED TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY. AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RAMP, WHILE TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC, THE CAR WOULD ONLY GO ABOUT 5 MILES PER HOUR. WE WERE AFRAID WE WOULD BE HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC BEFORE WE COULD GET PULLED OFF THE ROAD SAFELY. WE PULLED INTO A TRAVEL PLAZA, FILLED THE CAR WITH GAS, AND GOT LUNCH. TWENTY MINUTES LATER WE STARTED UP THE CAR AND IT APPEARED TO ACT NORMALLY, SO WE DECIDED TO CONTINUE WITH OUR TRIP. THIS WAS APPROXIMATELY 6 WEEKS AGO AND IT HASN'T HAPPENED SINCE. THERE IS A LOUD WHINING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE THAT APPEARS TO BE GETTING WORSE, ESPECIALLY WHEN TRAVELING ON A LARGE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEED.

DRIVING MY ROGUE AT 45MPH ON 10/13/2017. DECELERATED TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN. THEN ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AFTER THE TURN. THE ROGUE JERKED AND DECELERATED AND TURNED OFF. I STEERED THE CAR TO THE SOFT SHOULDER. ATTEMPTED TO START ROGUE. STARTED BUT THEN STALLED. IT EVENTUALLY STARTED AFTER SITTING BY ROAD FOR 5 MINUTES. NO PROBLEMS WITH ROGUE UNTIL 10/20/2017. WAS DRIVING AT 55 MPH WITH A SEMI BEHIND ME ON 2 LANE HIGHWAY. THE ROGUE STARTS TO DECELERATE AND JERKING. I PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN ENOUGH TIME NOT TO BE HIT BY THE SEMI. ROGUE TOTALLY STOPPED WORKING. I GOT IT RESTARTED AND DROVE HOME AT 40 MPH. CALLED AND GOT A REPAIR APPOINTMENT ON 10/24/17. IT WAS A MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR THAT WAS BROKEN.

"TAKATA RECALL" THIS COMPLAINT IS CONCERNING THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL BODY VALVE AND COOLER KIT ASSY. AFTER CHECKING OTHER SITES AND TALKING WITH THE COMPANY THAT WARRANT MY CAR I DISCOVER THAT NISSAN WAS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND BECAUSE IT'S NOT A SAFETY ISSUE NISSAN REFUSE TO DO A RECALL. OTHER OWNER HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM OF ONE SIMILAR TO IT, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY CAR LOOSE POWER. I READ ON ONE OF THE INVESTIGATION SITE THAT NO COMPANY WILL WARRANT THE CVT TRANSMISSION BY NISSAN.

THERE IS A KNOWN DEFAULT WITH THE YEAR AND MAKE OF VEHICLE I OWN, YET NISSAN HAS FAILED TO ISSUE A RECALL, EVEN THOUGH IT COULD RESULT IN DEATH. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR 1.5 HOURS OR MORE AT SPEEDS OF 65 MPH OR GREATER, THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS, AND CAUSES YOU TO LOSE ACCELERATION AND POWER. I LOST POWER ON THE PARKWAY, WAS UNABLE TO MOVE FROM THE RIGHT LANE, I COULDN'T EVEN MAKE IT TO THE SHOULDER BEFORE LOSING ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE MY VEHICLE. NISSAN RECOMMENDS ADDING AN EXTERNAL PART TO THE TRANSMISSION TO COOL THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, BUT THE PART IS MORE THAN $700. I WOULD THINK THAT THIS ISSUE WOULD BE VERY SIMILAR TO THE ISSUE WITH THE CHRYSLER IGNITION SWITCHES. IF I AM DRIVING MY CAR 70 MPH OR MORE ON THE INTERSTATE, AND SUDDENLY LOSE POWER, I AM LIKELY GOING TO GET HIT, AND IF THE OTHER VEHICLES ARE TRAVELING 70 MPH OR MORE, THAT IS GOING TO CAUSE VERY SERIOUS INJURIES AT THE VERY LEAST. THERE ARE MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS KNOWN ISSUE ON NISSAN FORUMS.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2017, WHILE ON MY WAY TO WORK, THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN BLINKING. BEFORE DRIVING HOME THAT EVENING I RESET IT. THE BLINKING STOPPED MOMENTARILY. I THEN SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT (10.19.17) WITH ACTION NISSAN HERE IS NASHVILLE, TN WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS AN AIRBAG SPRING MALFUNCTION WHICH WILL NOT ALLOW THE AIRBAG TO PROPERLY DEPLOY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON AND OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOUCHER NISSAN OF WAUKESHA (1451 E MORELAND BLVD, WAUKESHA, WI 53186 (262) 542-5500) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED TO COVER HALF OF THE REPAIR COST; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REMAINING BALANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000.

IT'S MY CAR MAKING THAT NOISE. SO I START TO PULL OVER AND I HAVE NO POWER. IT BARELY GETS OFF THE FREEWAY WITHIN 5 MINS OF ME HEARING THE NOISE MY CAR IS SMOKING. I'M WITH MY SON. THERE WAS NO WARNING OR ANYTHING IT JUST HAPPENED. I HAVE MY OIL CHANGES ON TIME. I HAD ON THE DAY BEFORE. THEN THIS HAPPENS

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GO ONLINE AND READ CONSUMER COMPLAINTS ABOUT VARIOUS NISSAN TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I CAN TELL YOU FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE THAT PEOPLE CAN GET HURT OR KILLED IN THESE VEHICLES. THE TRANSMISSIONS IN THESE AUTOS OVERHEAT AND WHEN THIS HAPPENS ACCELERATION DECLINES. PEDAL TO THE METAL YOU ARE DRIVING 50 MPH ON THE EXPRESSWAY. CARS ARE BLOWING HORNS. FINALLY THE TRANNY JUST GOES COMPLETELY OUT. TRY BEING IN THE CENTER LANE ON I 75 COASTING ABRUPTLY TO A CRAWL AND TRYING TO MOVE OVER WITHOUT GETTING HIT BY CARS DRIVING 70 MPH OR MORE. I ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR PILEUP WHILE FIGHTING TO GET OFF ROAD. READ OTHER HORROR STORIES ONLINE. I HAVE OWNED ALL TYPES VEHICLES IN MY 64 YEARS BUT I HAVE NEVER FELT LIKE MY LIFE WAS THREATENED BECAUSE OF MECHANICAL ISSUES. THIS IS NOT A SAFE CAR. SOME OWNERS HAVE INSTALLED TWO OR MORE TRANSMISSIONS. NOT TO MENTION THE COST. PLEASE SAVE LIVES AND MAKE NISSAN CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. 2009-2013 ARE THE WORST. MY DAUGHTER OWNS A 2011 NISSAN SENTRA. SHE PULLED FROM A STOP SIGN AND HAD PLENTY OF TIME BUT AS HER CAR LOST ACCELERATION SHE WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A DUMP TRUCK.. SHE CALLED ME CRYING. SHE HAS DRIVEN FOR 17 YEARS AND WAS TERRIFIED. I READ STORIES OF DRIVERS WHO WERE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND AS THEY SPED UP TO CROSS THE HIGHWAY THEIR CAR JUST CREEPS OUT IN FRONT OF ONCOMING VEHICLES. CHECK WITH SERVICE CENTERS AS WELL AND YOU WILL REALIZE THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH NISSANS. THE ALTIMAS, THE SENTRAS, THE ROGUES, THE PATHFINDERS. THEY HAVE MAJOR ISSUES. THEY NEED TO RECALL THESE CVT TRANSMISSIONS AND MAKE THEM SAFE. I AM UPSET OVER PAYING 3500.00 TO REPAIR THIS CAR BUT MORE UPSET THAT COMPANY IS ALLOWED TO PLAY WITH MY LIFE AND THE LIVES OF OTHERS. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR THIS UNSAFE. THANKS FOR LISTENING. PLEASE CHECK OUT WHAT I HAVE SAID. THERE ARE PLENTY MORE UNHAPPY NISSAN OWNERS OUT THERE.
