I PURCHASED A CAR TWO YEARS AGO 2016 I HAD TO PURCHASE A TOUR CONVERTER FOR $3500 REGULATOR I NEED A TRANSMISSION FOR $2500 I'M ON A FIXED INCOME AND I DON'T HAVE THIS KIND OF MONEY TO PUT OUT.

I GOT THIS CAR FROM MY DAUGHTER IN MAY. THIS PROBLEM STARTED IN JUNE, STOPPED FOR A WHILE & NOW IN WINTER (JANUARY) IT CAME BACK & IS GETTING WORSE TO THE POINT I WON'T DRIVE ON FREEWAY ANYMORE. DECELERATES AT FREEWAY SPEEDS COMBINED WITH JERKING MOTION. ALSO DOES NOT ALWAYS ACCELERATE (DOGS OUT) WHILE PRESSING ON GAS FROM COMPLETE STOP OR TRYING TO ACCELERATE IN SLOW TRAFFIC CAUSING CARS BEHIND TO SLAM ON BRAKES.

THE GAS GAUGE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF NISSAN OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. BELOW ARE SOME OF THE ISSUES WE RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE AND NOTICED THAT THE GAS GAUGE IS OFF. EVEN WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS, THE GAUGE WILL READ THE TANK AS BELOW THE FULL LEVEL. AT TIMES IT WILL SHOW THE TANK AS 3/4 OR 1/2. OTHER TIMES IT WILL SHOW THE TANK AT A FULL LEVEL WHEN IT SHOULDN'T BE, FOR EXAMPLE, 85 MILES DRIVEN ON A FULL TANK OF GAS. I WOULD THINK THAT SHOULD REGISTER AT LEAST ONE NOTCH BELOW THE FULL LEVEL. IT WILL CONSTANTLY GO UP AND DOWN ON THE SAME TANK OF GAS. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THESE ISSUES? I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I FILL UP THE GAS TANK AND IT ONLY READS 3/4 TANK. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES. THE LAST TIME THEY ADMITTED THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE SENSOR. THEY REPLACED IT, NOW I FILL IT UP AND IT ONLY READS 1/2 A TANK. AND IT NEVER SAID WHEN IT WAS LOW ON GAS, MY WIFE RAN OUT OF GAS ON THE INTERSTATE AND IT STILL SAID SHE HAD 1/4 TANK. THEY SAY THEY WILL REPLACE IT AGAIN. MY AWD ROGUE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN 2008. WIFE DRIVES IT EXCLUSIVELY. DECEMBER 2011 MILEAGE TURNED 16,000 AND GAS GAUGE LEVEL FAILED TO REGISTER FULL ON FILL-UP. NOW AT 16,500 MILES AND HAVE TO FILL TANK TO OVER-FLOW LEVEL TO ASSURE IT'S FULL. CONTACTED DEALER SINCE THERE IS A TSB ON ISSUE AND QUOTED $888. FOR SENDER/SUB-SENDER UNIT AND LABOR. FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NTHSA ON 1/9/2012. REGISTERED COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN NORTH AMERICA. NISSAN STATES: THERE IS NO ACTIVE CAMPAIGN OR RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN. THIS IS A DEFECT AND WARRANTS A RECALL.
2008 NISSAN ROUGE TRANSMISSION CVT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN BUILT WHILE DRIVING AT TOP SPEED CAR SHUTS COMPLETELY DOWN OR REVS UP VERY HIGH. VERY SERIOUS MATTER SHOULD REMOVE ALL 2008 OFF THE STREETS SOMEONE WILL GET HURT NO MATTER THE YEAR OR MILEAGE IT'S NOT A SAFE VECHIELE!
