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 speed control, Jul 26, 2020
WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR 2 HOURS OR MORE IT LOOSES SPEED. I WAS DRIVING BACK FROM TENESSE TO CHICAGO AND IT STARTED LOOSING RPM. I STARTED LOOSING SPEED AND HAD ISSUE GOING UP HILL. RPM WOULDN'T GO HIGHER THAN 2. I WAS IN A 70 MILE OPEN ROAD. EVENTUALLY I HAD TO PULL OVER AS I KEPT LOOSING SPEED. I GOOGLED THE ISSUE AND SAW COMPLAINTS IN SITES ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. I WAITED 10 MINUTES TURNED IT ON AND IT RAN FINE. 2 HOURS LATER I HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A RISK ESPECIALLY FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE FAMILIES LIKE MYSELF.

MY TRANSMISSION HAS STARTED SOUNDING AS IF I HAVE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION INSTEAD OF AUTOMATIC. IT ACTS AS IF IT IS WAITING FOR THE GEAR TO BE SHIFTED AT LOW SPEEDS AND HIGH SPEEDS. ALSO, DRIVING TO AUSTIN LAST WEEK, I NOTICE THAT I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE PAST 60 ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. MY MPG ALSO FLUTTERS BACK AND FORTH. AFTER ARRIVING BACK HOME I LOOKED UP SO INFORMATION AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER RODGERS OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. IF THIS IS THE CASE, I AM CONFUSED AS TO WHY THEY ARE STILL SELLING THEM. AND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A MASSIVE RECALL. HAD I KNOWN THIS, I WOULD NEVER HAVE GOTTEN THIS VEHICLE. IF IT IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURER IF ISSUE, THE COMPANY SHOULD BE FIXING THESE PROBLEMS. I WILL NOT STOP UNTIL, I GET MY CAR FIXED OR MONEY BACK.

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING MY CAR 4 DAYS AGO WITH HEAT ABOUT 90 DEGREES. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND UNABLE TO ACCELERATE EVEN WITH FOOT ON GAS PEDAL. SHE WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND LET THE CAR REST FOR SEVERAL HOURS AND WAS ABLE TO GET HOME SAFELY. MY LOCAL MECHANIC SAID CODE PO744 TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH CIRCUIT NEEDS REPAIR. I BROUGHT TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP TODAY AND REPORT NO RECALLS (WHICH I KNOW IS INCORRECT) AS ALSO 500,000 VEHICLES ARE AFFECTED. IF NISSAN DOES NOT PAY TO FIX THESE OBVIOUS CVT TRANSMISSION DEFECTS, I WILL NEVER PURCHASE OR RECOMMEND ANYONE WASTE A PENNY ON THIS BS COMPANY. NEVER AGAIN! WHY ISN'T US PROTECTING OUR CONSUMERS AGAINST THIS UNACCEPTABLE PRODUCT?!

VEHICLE WILL DECELERATE ON THE HIGHWAY WITH GAS PRESSED TO THE FLOOR. VEHICLE LOSES POWER AND I HAVE TO PULL OVER FOR THE ENGINE TO "COOL OFF" BEFORE PROCEEDING. IT HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION. I DON'T EVEN HAVE 100,000 MILES ON MY CAR, TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT BE FAILING.

I HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH THE LIFTGATE ON THIS CAR FOR AT LEAST 2 YEARS. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 5 TIMES, AND RECENTLY TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM. THE LIFTGATE HAS GONE FROM INTERMITTENLY OPENING TO NOW NOT OPENING AT ALL. TRUNK IS NEEDED, WHAT CAN I DO?

ANYTIME I DRIVE MORE THAN 30 MINUTES MY ACCELERATION DOESN'T WORK. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE IF I STOP AT A STOPLIGHT AND IT TAKES A BIT BEFORE MY CAR WILL START DRIVING AGAIN. IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE I GET HIT FROM BEHIND BECAUSE CARS THINK I SHOULD BE MOVING BUT MY CAR IS INCAPABLE OF IT. THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY.
Vehicle speed control, Fuel/propulsion system, Jul 2, 2020
AS I AM DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED WITH MY CRUISE CONTROL ON, IT WILL ALL OF THE SUDDEN DROP ACCELERATION AND SHUTS OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL. I CAN PUSH THE GAS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND IT WON'T DO ANYTHING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I PULL OFF THE ROAD AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON BUT IT STILL WILL BARLEY GO OR SOMETIMES IT WILL GET TO A MAX OF ABOUT 60 MPH BUT THE RPM WILL REV TO 5000. USUALLY WHEN I GET TO WHERE I'M GOING (TO WORK, VERY LATE) AND MY CAR SITS ALL DAY THEN IT SEEMS FINE ON THE WAY HOME. *TR
Power train, Jun 28, 2020
WHEN DRIVING MY CAR WILL BE MOVING JUST FINE AND OUT OF NOWHERE I WILL LOOSE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. THE CAR WILL GO UP TO 3 RPM AND STAY, WILL NOT GO FASTER WITH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. THIS WILL HAPPEN WETHER THE CAR IS IN CRUISE CONTROL OR NOT. THE CAR WILL ALSO LOOSE ABILITY TO GO UP HILLS AND PROPERLY ACCELERATE FROM A STOP. THIS HAPPENED LAST SUMMER AND HAS BEEN FINE FINE THIS WINTER. FRIDAY IT STARTED AGAIN THIS TIME IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THIS ALMOST CAUSED A SEMI TO CRASH INTO US AS IT WENT FROM 70 MPH TO 50 VERY QUICKLY WITHOUT WARNING. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE FOR THIS REASON. THEY ONLY WAY I KNOW TO FIX IT IS TO STOP, TURN OFF THE CAR AND WAIT. THIS DOES NOT MEAN IT WILL FIX IT. I HAVE LOOKED INTO IT AND IT SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THIS CAR DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH MILES TO WARRANT A NEW TRANSMISSION.

CAR JUST HIT 85,000 MILES. MY NISSAN 2013 ROUGE IS DANGEROUS AND AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD. WHEN AT A TURNING AT STOPLIGHT IN HOT WEATHER (ALL THE TIME IN CA) THE CVT TRANSMISSION SLOWS THE CAR TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP. YOU JUST TURN OFF AND ON THE CAR TO RESTART. I'VE ALMOST BEEN T-BONED 2X, COMPLETELY HAZARD. ALSO, ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER DRIVING AN HOUR IT FAILED TO GO OVER 40MPH IN A 65 ZONE. ALSO AN EXTREME HAZARD, THIS CVT TRANSMISSION MUST BE RECALLED AND REPLACED AT NO COST TO CONSUMERS IMMEDIATELY. PART IS FAULTY DUE TO NEGLIGENCE OF NISSAN. *TR

COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE EXPRESS WAY. INTERMITTENT ISSUE THOUGH HAPPENS MAINLY ON THE EXPRESSWAY OR JUST LEAVING THE OFF RAMP. I SEE MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR NISSAN ROGUES FROM 2008-2014. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS MY WIFE WAS ALMOST REARENDED ON THE EXPRESSWAY BECAUSE SHE CANT ACCELERATE. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND IS GETTING WORSE AND MORE OFTEN AS TIME GOES ON. MECHANICS HAVE NO CLUE HOW TO FIX THE ISSUE BESIDES REPLACING THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. SHE HAD TO DRIVE ALL THE WAY HOME GOING 25MPH DOWN THE EXPRESSWAY YESTERDAY FROM OHARE WHERE SHE WORKS AS A FLIGHT ATTENDANT HOME HERE IN LAKE VILLA, IL. THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED!! SHE US NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE HER OWN CAR. *TR

AFTER CRUISING THE CAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (70MPH) FOR AROUND AN HOUR THE CAR BEGINS TO SLOW DOWN ON IT OWN AND EVEN FLOORING THE GAS PEDAL WON'T INCREASE THE SPEED, IT WILL JUST REV AT HIGH RPM AND START SLOWING DOWN. THE CAN BARELY SPEED UP TO 30MPH AFTER THAT AFTER CONTINUING TO FLOORING THE GAS PEDAL AND REVVING THE CAR AT IT'S HIGHEST RPM. THERE ARE NO ENGINE LIGHTS. THE CAR HAS TO BE TURNED OFF FOR 10-15MINS BUT SOMETIMES EVEN THAT DOES NOT HELP. WHEN TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP THEY OFFER TO PUT A NEW TRANSMISSION WHICH COST AROUND $4000. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE FOR ALL ROGUE CARS. *TR

WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FORWARD OR REVERSE WITH NO WARNING WHILE DRIVING OR FROM A STATIONARY POSITION
Power train, Mar 27, 2020
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT THE SPEED LIMIT OF 70 MPH. I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL SET AND WAS COMING UP TO A SMALL HILL. THE CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AS NORMAL TO GET UP THE HILL. AS SOON AS I BEGAN TO DESCEND THE HILL, THE CAR WAS STILL TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND THE RPMS STARTED TO GET UP TO THE 6000S. I IMMEDIATELY TURN OF CRUISE CONTROL AND LET THE RPMS GO BACK DOWN BEFORE TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO STAY GOING TO SPEED LIMIT. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND THE RPMS WOULD GO UP QUICKLY WITH BARELY ANY TOUCH TO THE GAS PEDAL, SO I PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR GAVE ME NO WARNING WHAT SO EVER AND LEFT ME IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. WHILE TRYING TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY AT A SAFE SPEED WITH 18-WHEELER TRUCKS HAVING TO SLOW DOWN AND GO AROUND ME CAUSING OTHER CARS TO SLAM ON THEIR BREAKS TO AVOID REAR-ENDING THE TRUCKS.
