2008 Nissan Rogue

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE REAR ENDED THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE CAUSING HIM TO CRASH INTO A SECOND VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE CAR WILL BE AT A COMPLETE STOP AND YOU WILL PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL AND IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE, YOU CAN FLOOR THE GAS PEDAL, AND IT WILL HAVE VERY LITTLE REACTION. IN ADDITION, WHEN THIS ISSUE IS HAPPENING ALL YOUR LIGHTS STOP WORKING SO THE PERSON BEHIND YOU DOES NOT KNOW YOU ARE NOT AT A COMPLETE STOP. THIS IS NOT A CONSISTENT PROBLEM BUT YOU NEVER NOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN - IT'S LIKE THE CAR GOES INTO THIS AMNESIA STAGE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AS THE CHECK ENGINE WRNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE CVT VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 122,000.

ON THE DATE LISTED ABOVE THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. MY WIFE AND I WERE IN FOUR LANES OF EASTBOUND TRAFFIC ON I40 IN BURLINGTON NC. WE LOST MOMENTUM IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND WERE LUCKY TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED IN MARCH 2008. IT HAD A KNOWN ISSUE WHERE GRINDING NOISES WERE COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. NISSAN FINALLY RELEASED A FIX AND MY CAR WAS UPDATED ON 11/30/2009. I BELIEVE THE CVT WAS DEFECTIVE OR DAMAGED BECAUSE OF A SLOW RESPONSE BY NISSAN. THE CAR WAS 20 MONTHS OLD BEFORE THE COMPANY REPAIRED THE VEHICLE SO THAT THE GRINDING NOISE WASN'T PRESENT. I ASKED NISSAN FOR DATA ON FAILURES AND - OF COURSE - THEY SAID THAT WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO BECAUSE THE CATASTROPHIC LOSS OF A TRANSMISSION COULD LEAD TO A DEADLY ACCIDENT. *TR

WAS RETURNING FROM TRIP NORTH CAROLINA BACK HOME TO TENNESSEE ONCE ABOUT HOUR AWAY FELT CAR JUST START SLOWING DOWN CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE WHEN PUSHING ON GAS. WAS ABLE TO GET TO RIGHT HAND LANE AND GET OFF INTERSTATE JUST BEFORE CAR WENT TO A CRAWL. CAR WAS MAKING WHINING NOISE WHILE TRYING TO MOVE CAR FROM HIGHWAY. CAR CAME TO STOP AND UNABLE TO MOVE AGAIN. HAD CAR TOWED BACK TO MY HOUSE SENT TO SHOP TO FIND OUT THAT TRANSMISSION HAD MALFUNCTIONED. DOING RESEARCH ON TRANSMISSION FOUND OUT THE NISSAN ROUGE IS USING CVT TRANSMISSION AND THAT NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 120K OR 10 YEARS. MY RESEARCH ALSO FOUND OUT THAT OTHER NISSAN OWNERS OF ROGUE AND MURANOS WERE HAVING ISSUES WITH CVT TRANSMISSION. WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT ABOUT THE WARRANTY I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER CARE TO INQUIRE ABOUT THIS. I WAS TOLD MY MODEL AND MAKE QUALIFIED UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT MILEAGE DIDN'T MATTER. NISSAN DECIDED NOT TO ASSIST ME WITH REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT OF TRANSMISSION. I TRIED TO TELL NISSAN ABOUT LETTER THAT STATED THEY WOULD DECREASE COST EVEN ABOVE 120K. THEY REFUSED TO DO SO. I HAD NO WARNING SENSORS THAT THERE WAS PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A BAD ACCIDENT IF THE TRANSMISSION HAD OF WENT OUT DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC. IT APPEARS READING ABOUT OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCES WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS THAT NISSAN DOESN'T WANT TO OWN UP TO HAVING A FAULTY TRANSMISSION. EVEN SPEAKING WITH MECHANICS FROM OUTSIDE AND WITH NISSAN THAT THIS TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY AND MANY HAVE ISSUES AND COMPLAINANTS ABOUT IT. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON, AND REMAINS ON. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND THEY SAID IT WOULD COST $1,800 TO REPAIR, AN INDICATOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS NOT WORKING. I DID ASK ABOUT RECALLS, AND THEY STATED THERE WERE NONE. IT SEEMS THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 08V521000. HOWEVER, MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BECAUSE "THE PART WAS MANUFACTURED AT A DIFFERENT PLANT". I BELIEVE AS THE SAME PART IS MALFUNCTIONING IN THE SAME VEHICLE RECALL, IT WAS ALSO MANUFACTURED INCORRECTLY, AND NISSAN NORTH AMERICA SHOULD REPAIR IT AS A PART OF THAT RECALL. *TR

WHEN DRIVING FOR A LONG DISTANT AND PAST THE OVER 99.7 MILES THE GAS PEDAL GET STOCK AND CAR LOSSES POWER; ALSO AFTER DRIVING FOR A PERIOD OF TIME IT STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT CAR WOUND TAKE OFF WILL TAKE TIME TO PICK UP SPEED. HAVE TAKING IT TO THE A MECHANIC WHICH THE GAS PUMP WAS REPLACE AND IT KEEP DOING IT. I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THE SAME ISSUES. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT READ THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL THE CAR HAS / THE CAR HAS LESS GAS THAN IT SHOWS.I HAVE BEEN TO THE NISSAN DEALER FIVE TIMES AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM - THEY HAVE CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL GAUGE TWICE. I HAVE REPORTED TO NISSAN CORPORATE AND THEY ADVISED THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE FOR THIS MODEL. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *TR
