2008 Nissan Rogue

MY 2008 NISSAN ROGUE HAS A TENDENCY TO LOSE POWER ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER BEING DRIVEN FOR OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME AT A CONSTANT SPEED, USUALLY ABOUT 45 MINUTES TO AN HOUR AT 75 MILES AN HOUR. THE VEHICLE WILL START MY MAKING A WEIRD WHISTLING OR WHINING NOISE THEN AFTER THAT YOU CANNOT ACCELERATE IT'LL BE STUCK AT WHATEVER SPEED YOUR GOING. WHEN I COME ACROSS A BRIDGE OR A HILL IT'LL SLOW DOWN A BIT THEN ACCELERATE ONCE I'M GOING DOWNHILL THEN STOP AT A SPECIFIC MPH, NO MATTER HOW MUCH I PRESS ON THE GAS IT WILL NOT GO ANY FURTHER. WHEN I OFF THE HIGHWAY AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND TRY TO TAKE OFF AGAIN IT WILL NOT RESPOND RIGHT AWAY THEN IT WILL TAKE OFF WITH ME AS I'M PRESSING THE GAS, ALMOST RESULTING IN ME RUNNING INTO OTHER VEHICLES SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN I TAKE THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN IT DOESN'T GIVE ANY ERROR CODES OR SHOW THAT ANYTHING IS WRONG. NISSAN CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT WILLING TO PAY SOMEONE TO GO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR OVER THAT LONG PERIOD OF TIME. I COMMUTE TO WORK AND CHURCH ON THE HIGHWAY FIVE TIMES A WEEK AND EXPERIENCE THIS JUST ABOUT EVERY SINGLE DAY. I DID HOWEVER TAKE THE CAR TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE EXPERIENCE WHAT THE CAR IS DOING AND HE NOTICED NISSAN PUT TOO MUCH FLUID IN MY TRANSMISSION WHEN THEY REPLACED IT AFTER IT STOPPED ON ME PREVIOUSLY ON THE HIGHWAY, THAT DID SOLVE THE PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL MONTHS BUT NOW IT'S DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. I CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE THEY INFORM ME THERE'S NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. I DID A INTERNET SEARCH AND THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME STORY AND WAS EVEN COVERED BY THE NEWS STATION. ONE OTHER THING THEY ALL HAVE IN COMMON IS THAT NO ONE HAD THAT ISSUE FIX OR KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I RECENTLY RENT A VEHICLE BECAUSE I REFUSE TO LET MY WIFE AND ONE YEAR OLD IN THE CAR BY THEMSELVES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE'S SPEED SUDDENLY DECREASED. THE CONTACT DROVE ONTO THE EMERGENCY LANE, SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, AND CONTINUED DRIVING; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000...UPDATED 09-09-14 *BF

TRAVELING LONG DISTANCE ON THE HIGHWAY. ENGINE WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE ACCELERATOR IN A NORMAL MANNER ACCOMPANIED BY WHINY NOISES. PRESSED ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR AND RPMS WOULD INCREASE EXTREMELY SLOWLY AND NOT ABOVE 3000 RPMS. CONTINUED FOR THE REMAINING 2.5 HOURS OF OUR TRIP. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN ON OUR WAY HOME MULTIPLE TIMES. HAD EXTREME DIFFICULTY AFTER EXITING THE HIGHWAY AND HAVING TO STOP. VEHICLE BARELY MOVED FORWARD. *TR

I STARTED TO NOTICE THE PROBLEM WHEN TRYING TO PULL OUT ON TO A BUSY ROAD THAT WAS ON A SLIGHT HILL. FOR SOME REASON THE CAR WOULD NOT GO WHEN YOU HIT THE GAS. AFTER A WHILE OF DOING THIS A LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. WHATEVER THEY DID SEEM TO HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM OF THE CAR NOT ACCELERATING WHEN ON A HILL. BUT THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINED THAT IF YOU DROVE FOR SO LONG (5-10 MIN) ON THE INTERSTATE 65+ MPH THEN CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR AGAIN WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FOR A FEW MINUTES (I SAT THROUGH A STOP LIGHT AND A HALF TRYING TO GET THE CAR GOING). I THINK THIS IS RELATED TO THE FUNNY SOUND THE CAR MAKES WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS. ANY WAYS I TOOK THE CAR IN TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG AS THIS COULD CAUSE A PROBLEM IF IT ALLOWS YOU TO ROLL HALFWAY INTO AN INTERSECTION BUT THEN WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP SAID IT SOUNDS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION COOLER ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THEY SAID THIS WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE 120,000 MILE EXTENDED WARRANTY NISSAN PLACED ON 2008-2010 ROGUES. IT SEEMS LIKE NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM SINCE THEY HAVE EXTENDED THE WARRANTY BUT THEY HAVE NOT RECALLED THE PARTS FOR SOME REASON. MY MOM HAS A 2010 ROGUE WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. *TR

AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND BEGAN DECELERATING RAPIDLY. AFTER PUSHING THE GAS MULTIPLE TIMES, THE VEHICLE REMAINED UNRESPONSIVE AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO 20MPH WHICH WAS VERY DANGEROUS IN AN 80 MPH SPEED ZONE ON A STATE HIGHWAY. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE FOR 30 MINUTES. UPON STARTING IT UP AGAIN AND CONTINUING ON MY TRIP, THE VEHICLE REPEATED THE PROBLEM WITHIN ANOTHER HOUR OF DRIVING. WHEN THIS OCCURS NOW, VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE FROM A FULL STOP. THIS IS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS IN TOLL BOOTHS OR RED LIGHTS, AS OTHER CARS TAKE THE LIBERTY OF DRIVING BY AS I AM PUMPING THE GAS. RANDOMLY THE CAR WILL KICK BACK INTO GEAR AND JUT OUT INTO TRAFFIC, WHICH HAS ALMOST CAUSED TWO DIFFERENT ACCIDENTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND FELT AS IF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS APPLIED. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED IN HIGH GEAR. THE HESITATION RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY FOR OVER TWO MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000.

NISSAN ROGUE 2008 WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY INCLINE. VEHICLE TOPPED OUT AT 45 MPH IN 65 ZONE. UNABLE TO ACCELERATE, VEHICLES HONKED AND PASSED BY. THIS CONTINUED UNTIL TOP OF INCLINE, THEN VEHICLE RESUMED ACCELERATION. TOOK TO LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO LEARN THAT NISSAN OFFERS EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR CVT TRANSMISSION AND THAT THIS ISSUE QUALIFIED FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. DEALER ORDERED TRANSMISSION COOLER KIT ON 3/3/2014. DEALER HAS SINCE INFORMED ME THAT PART REQUEST IS RESTRICTED AND CAN GIVE NO TIMEFRAME OF REPLACEMENT. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 2 WEEKS ( NOW 3/19). NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS ALSO UNABLE TO EXPEDITE PART. ACCELERATION ISSUE HAS HAPPENED 2 ADDITIONAL TIMES WITHIN LAST TWO WEEKS, AGAIN ON THE FREEWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF 65 MPH TRAFFIC. NISSAN HAS INDICATED THEY WILL NOT PROVIDE REPLACEMENT VEHICLE WHILE AWAITING PART. I EXPRESSED CONCERNS THAT THIS IS A VEHICLE SAFETY ISSUE IN WHICH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AGAIN WAS UNABLE TO COMMIT TO PROVIDING REPLACEMENT VEHICLE. CASE # [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE CAR EXPERIENCED EXTREME DECELERATION ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE IN A MINIMUM 45 MILE PER HOUR HIGHWAY (IN PUERTO RICO) WHEN CAR DECELERATED AND WAS UNABLE TO GO MORE THAN 5 MILES PER HOUR AFTER DECELERATING FOR A TOLL. AS I CHANGED LANES TO GET TO THE SHOULDER, I ALMOST CAUSED WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN A FATAL ACCIDENT OF MYSELF AND MY INFANT DAUGHTER. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ISLAND AND COULD NOT AFFORD A TOW TRUCK. I WAITED FOR TWO HOURS AND TRIED STARTING THE CAR AGAIN TO SEE IF I COULD CONTINUE. THE CAR SEEMED BACK TO NORMAL AND I MADE IT HOME. THE EXTREME ACCELERATION HAS HAPPENED TO ME 2 OTHER TIMES AND I CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE. I RECENTLY RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND THERE IS A WIDE ARRAY OF PEOPLE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES AND SIMILAR EXPERIENCES AND CLOSE CALLS WITH VEHICULAR ACCIDENTS. SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT, THE CAR NOW HAS 130K MILES AND DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I AM AN ACTIVE DUTY MEMBER STATIONED OVERSEAS IN PUERTO RICO AND DID NOT RECEIVE NOTIFICATION THAT A WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED. PLEASE HELP ME EFFECT A NISSAN RECALL IN CVT ENGINES IN THE SELECT MODELS MENTIONED IN THEIR CONSUMER AFFAIRS WEBSITE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

WHEN DRIVING MY CAR FOR ABOUT AN HOUR, CAR LOOSES SPEED AND WILL NOT GO FASTER THAN 40 MILES AN HOUR, EVEN WHEN PRESSING PEDDLE TO THE FLOOR. TOOK MY CAR TO NISSAN DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS TOLD COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. ADVISED SERVICE DEPT, YOU WOULD HAVE TO DRIVE FOR AN HOUR, THEN THE PROBLEM WOULD REPEAT. THE DEALER DID MAINTENANCE ON MY VEHICLE ON 09/11/12 (DRAINED AND FILLED CVT WITH NEW FLUID). AT THIS TIME MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY HAD A FIX FOR THIS KNOWN ISSUE AND I WAS NOT ADVISED. TOOK MY CAR BACK ON 08/24/13 DUE STILL HAVING SAME ISSUE WITH CAR LOOSING SPEED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS TOLD, "GOOD NEWS THERE IS A FIX, BAD NEWS YOUR CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. WHILE MY CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED. *TR

MY ROGUE IS HAVING INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATION AFTER DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT DOES IT WHEN IT SLOWS AND YOU TRY TO START GOING AGAIN AND IT DOES IT WHEN YOU STOP AFTER BEING ON THE HIGHWAY AND TRY TO START GOING AGAIN. IT DOES NOT DO IT EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY EITHER. I PUSHED THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. FREQUENTLY, IT WAS STUCK AT A THE SPEED IN WHICH THE CAR WAS IN BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. AFTER EXITING THE FREEWAY THERE WAS ALSO TROUBLE WITH ACCELERATING. ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS A STRANGE WHIRLY NOISE. THIS CONTINUED SPORADICALLY FOR SEVERAL MILES. *TR
