2009 Nissan Rogue

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WOULD REMAIN ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NISSAN OF ST. ALBANS DEALER, LOCATED AT 4 FRANKLIN PARK W, ST ALBANS CITY, VT 05478, (888) 719-6390, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM FAILED AND THE CANISTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS NO RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VIN AND PROVIDED AN UNKNOWN CASE NUMBER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,000.

ISSUE WHEN DRIVING AT FIRST FOR LONG PERIODS. THE CAR WILL START TO SLOW DOWN. CAN'T OR WON'T ACCELERATE. I CALL ABOUT THIS ISSUE 2 YEARS AGO AND I WAS DISMISSED. BUT I SEE THERE'S A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN OTHER STATES, DESCRIBING THE SAME ISSUE WITH DIFFERENT NISSAN MODELS. THE CVT... I WOULD THINK IF THERES AN ISSUE NISSAN, BEING AS BIG AS THEY ARE WOULD ADDRESS IT. BUT IT LOOKS LIKE ALL YOU COMPANIES LIKE TO TO IS SHOVE US UNDER THE RUG . I LIKE MY CAR AND IT'S NOT FAIR THAT I'D HAVE TO GO TO SUCH LENGTH TO HAVE THIS ADDRESSED. I'VE HAD MAINTENANCE DONE WHICH IS COSTLY AND STILL NO TIX...

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE UP HILLS OR DURING HOT DAYS, THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY IGNORE THE GAS PEDAL AND SLOW DOWN. THIS BECOMES TREACHEROUS ON LONG DRIVES THAT INVOLVE GOING OVER HILLS OR MOUNTAINS AS THEY CAR WILL SLOW TO UNDER 40MPH AND WILL NOT RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL. AFTER BRINGING MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY STATED THERE IS AN ECM RECALL. THEY CHANGED OUT THE PART, BUT THE ISSUE WHEN DRIVING STILL OCCURRED. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM (SEE NTB14-002), HOWEVER THE ISSUE IS NOT CONSIDERED A RECALL AND IS LABELED AS A CUSTOMER EXPENSE FOR THOSE OUTSIDE THE 60,000 MILE WARRANTY AND OPTIONAL UPGRADE. THIS IS A SERIOUS FLAW FOR ANY ROGUE OWNERS, AND IS A SAFETY RISK WHILE DRIVING. NISSAN SHOULD REPLACE THE FLAWED COOLING SYSTEMS AT THEIR EXPENSE, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE DEFECT WAS NOT DETECTED UNTIL 11/25/2015.

WHILE TAKING A FAMILY TRIP IN JULY 2017 WEEKS AGO ON I95 DRIVING AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ONCE THE SPEEDOMETER HIT 65 TO 70. AT CERTAIN TIMES TRYING TO MOVE INTO ANOTHER LANE THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T ACCELERATE EVEN WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING IT ALSO STARTED TO DECELERATE. IT DISPLAYED THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN WHEN TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY THE FOLLOWING WEEK AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN TRYING TO MERGE OR MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT IS BEHIND YOU.

I HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR FOUR YEARS NOW, AND EARLY THIS LAST YEAR, MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, HAD IT CHECKED OUT, AND THEY STATED I HAD A LEAK NEAR MY GAS CAP, SO THEY ADVISED ME TO PURCHASE A NEW GAS CAP, BECAUSE THE SUCTION WAS GO ON THE OLD ONE, I DID THAT, AND THE NEXT DAY, I THOUGH CAME BACK ON, I WENT BACK TO THEM, AND THEY STATED THAT THE WAY THAT THE LEAK IS, OVERTIME I GOT GAS, I WOULD NEED TO PUSH IN THE CAP AND THAT SHOULD SEAL IT. NEEDLESS TO SAY THAT DIDN'T WORK, IT BEEN MONTHS LATER AND I HAVE HAD FOUR DIFFERENT PARTS RELATED ON THE VEHICLE THAT DID NOT NEED REPLACING AND MY LIGHT IS STILL ON! THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IS CAUSE IT TO COME ON. THE OTHER ISSUE IS THAT MY CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE UP HILLS, I HAVE TO HAVE THE RPM'S ON 4 OR 5 JUST TO GET THE CAR UP THE HILL, AND THEN GOING DOWN THE HILL, I CAR SOUND LIKE SOMETHING IS WRONG. I WAS TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT, BUT I KNOW THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG, IT SHOULD NOT SOUND LIKE THAT. THE NEXT ISSUE THAT I A HAVING IS THAT MY AC COMPRESSOR IS SHOT. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET IT REPLACED ALL SUMMER NOW, AND FOR SOME REASON, MY CAR WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY OF THE NEW ONES, I HAVE HAD ABOUT THREE NEW ONES, I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT TO DO NEXT. I AM MOVING TO GEORGIA IN A FEW WEEKS, AND I AM GOING TO NEED AC! *TR
