2008 Nissan Rogue

THIS IS ONE OF SEVERAL SIMILAR INCIDENTS. I WAS ON A ROAD TRIP TO NYC, DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AT 73 MPH. IN ALL INCIDENTS, I NOTICED THAT AFTER HAVING THE CRUISE ON FOR OVER AN HOUR, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CRUISE WOULD JUST "KICK OFF". IT WOULD STOP WORKING. AND MY CAR WOULD START TO DECELERATE. BEING ON A MAIN HIGHWAY, TRAVELING 73 MPH WITH EVERYONE AROUND ME GOING EQUALLY AS FAST, IF NOT FASTER, AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN DECELERATING WAS LIKE PUTTING ON THE BRAKES WITH NO BRAKE LIGHTS. IT WAS POSITIVELY DANGEROUS AND SCARY. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, AFTER IT GOT DOWN TO BETWEEN 60 AND 65, IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I PUT MY FOOT TO THE FLOOR AND THERE WAS NO ACCELERATION. I GOT INTO THE RIGHT HAND LANE AS QUICKLY AS I COULD, AND PRAYED THE ENTIRE TIME TO NOT BE KILLED. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES, I WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE UP TO 70. BUT THE CRUISE WOULD JUST KICK OFF AS SOON AS I SET IT AGAIN. MADDENING, DANGEROUS AND SCARY. AND IT HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE. EXACTLY THE SAME WAY EACH TIME. AND ONLY AFTER BEING IN THE CAR WITH CRUISE ON FOR OVER AN HOUR. *TR

AFTER TRAVELING 50 MILES, MY 2008 NISSAN ROGUE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AT THE FIRST STOP LIGHT. THIS OCCURRED AGAIN ON 7/17/2013. I TRAVELED 50 MILES AND AGAIN THE CAR FAILED TO ACCELERATE AT THE FIRST STOP. I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY CLAIM NOT TO HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT OCCURRING IN THE ROGUE. I RESEARCHED VARIOUS FORUMS ON THE INTERNET AND IT SEEMS TO BE PREVALENT IN NISSAN'S CVT TRANSMISSION. THE NISSAN REP SAID THAT "NISSAN DOESN'T SUPPORT GOOGLE" WHEN I TOLD HER WHAT WAS BEING REPORTED ON THE INTERNET. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT PUTS MY FAMILY AT RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY. THE CAR IS SCHEDULED FOR SERVICE NEXT WEEK. I FEAR THAT NISSAN IS NOT BEING ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS ISSUE FROM WHAT I'VE READ. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THERE WAS A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V521000 (AIR BAGS , ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) THAT COULD HAVE BEEN RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000. *TR

MY NISSAN ROGUE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES (TOMORROW MAKES 3) TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT IN AUGUST 2012, APRIL 2013 AND NOW AGAIN JULY 2013. I WAS TOLD THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE CRT TRANSMISSION. MY CAR GETS UP TO ABOUT 70 MILES PER HOUR AND THEN I'M LITERALLY PUSH THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND MY CAR WON'T GO OVER 40-50 MILES PER HOUR. NOW MY CAR IS LUNGING FORWARD WHEN IT'S AT A COMPLETE STOP. I ASKED NISSAN WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE TRANSMISSION GOES OUT AGAIN AFTER REPAIRS TOMORROW AND I WAS TOLD THEY WILL JUST KEEP REPAIRING IT UNTIL MY WARRANTY IS UP AND THEN UNFORTUNATELY I'D BE ON MY OWN. *TR

ON 2 OCCASIONS IN A WEEK PERIOD OF TIME AFTER DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT AN HOUR I EXITED THE HIGHWAY VIA AN EXIT RAMP AND STOPPED AT THE STOP LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS STILL IN DRIVE AND THE GAS PEDAL WAS PRESSED DOWN. BOTH TIMES I SCOOTED ABOUT 1MPH OVER TO THE SHOULDER, PLACED THE CAR IN PARK THEN BACK IN DRIVE AND IT ACCELERATED NORMALLY. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER, THEY ARE REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AT NO COST, IT IS STILL COVERED UNDER THE NISSAN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE CVT. THIS ISSUE FRIGHTENED ME AND MADE ME FEEL UNSAFE IN THE VEHICLE. I WORRY HAD I NEEDED TO STOP ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEN ACCELERATE AND WAS UNABLE TO THAT I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT. I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD LOOK FURTHER INTO THE CVT ISSUES AND PERHAPS ISSUE RECALLS AS THESE TYPES OF ISSUES MAKE THE CAR UNSAFE. IN MY INSTANCE THE CAR FELT AS IF IT WERE STUCK IN PARK OR NEUTRAL, IT WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO DRIVE. I HAVE READ ONLINE SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS CONCERNING CVT ISSUES. *TR

THE CVT TRANSMISSION IN THE 2008 NISSAN ROGUE IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE CAR LOSES ACCELERATION AFTER TRAVELING A DISTANCE (OVER 40 MILES) AND WHEN IT COMES TO A STOP, IT WILL NOT TAKE OFF. SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 2013 I DROVE FROM COLLEGE STATION, TX TO HOUSTON, TX (85 MILES). WHEN I CAME A STOP SIGN AFTER EXITING THE FREEWAY, I STOPPED AND THEN ATTEMPTED A RIGHT TURN INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. ONCE I DEPRESSED THE GAS, THE CAR ROLLED INTO THE INTERSECTION AND STALLED WITH TRAFFIC BARRELING TOWARD ME. CARS HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID HITTING ME. THIS CAR HAS ALWAYS HAD ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION PROBLEMS SINCE I BOUGHT IT AND NO WARNING LIGHTS EVER COME ON. THE FIRST TIME THE CAR BROKE DOWN WAS ON THE FIRST ROAD TRIP I TOOK IN THE CAR. IN 2012 AS I WAS DRIVING TO ATLANTA, GEORGIA AND THE CAR BROKE COMPLETELY DOWN IN BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA. I HAD TO GET A LOANER FROM THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN BIRMINGHAM TO COMPLETE MY TRIP. THE CVT TRANSMISSION IS A VERY, VERY DANGEROUS TECHNOLOGY AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND A CLASS ACTION SUIT SHOULD BE INITIATED AGAINST NISSAN. NISSAN HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FROM 60000 TO 120000 IN ALL CVT TRANSMISSION VEHICLES. WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS IF THEY DO NOT THINK THERE IS A PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS TURNING FROM A RESIDENTIAL STREET ONTO A MAIN ROAD, WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE THE CAR RED LINED, BUT DID NOT ACCELERATE. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO GO 5-10 MILES AN HOUR. I MANAGED TO PULL OVER WITHOUT GETTING HIT AND HAD TO GET THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AND I WAS TOLD THIS HAD HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES WITH THE CVT IN THE ROGUE. *TR
