2009 Nissan Rogue

MY NISSAN ROGUE WILL PERIODICALLY STOP ACCELERATION WHILE I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE THE PEDAL PUSHED ALL THE WAY DOWN AND THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE. I WILL BE GOING THE POSTED SPEED AND FOR NO APPARENT REASON, MY CAR WILL START TO DE-ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN. AFTER READING SEVERAL COMPLAINTS I AM FINDING OUT THAT THIS IS DUE TO THE CVT TRANSMISSION IN THIS PARTICULAR MODEL. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO ANYONE WHO IS DRIVING THIS CAR. ALSO, I HAVE NOTICED A LOUD NOISE WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN GEAR, WHICH I AM READING IS A SIGN THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT. I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS VEHICLE BUT NONE OF THE REPAIRS THAT I HAVE LISTED ARE COVERED. THIS CAR IS A PIECE OF JUNK AND I WILL NOT GET ANYTHING FOR IT UPON TRADE-IN. I AM STUCK WITH THIS CAR, AND HAVE PUT OVER $3,000 IN THIS CAR ALREADY OVER THE LAST 6 MONTHS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ROUGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE RPM GAUGE FLUCTUATED WITHOUT WARNING, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE AND DECELERATE INDEPENDENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TWICE, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 87,000.

THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! - OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, I FILED A COMPLAINT TO THE NHTSA AND MADE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS TO THE DEALER SERVICE CENTER ABOUT THIS ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE CVT. I COMMUTE EVERYDAY ON THE NJ TURNPIKE. I HAVE TO MAKE STOPS 'TO LET THE ENGINE/CVT COOL OFF' BOTH GOING AND COMING HOME FROM WORK BECAUSE THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE. I BARELY GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER IN HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC. SOMETIMES IF THERE ISN'T AN IMMEDIATE SHOULDER, I HAVE TO GO AT A SPEED OF 5-10 MPH IN HIGH SPEED TURNPIKE TRAFFIC OF 60-80 MPH TO FINALLY GET TO A SHOULDER. I ALREADY REPLACED ONE CVT IN THIS CAR. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2009 WHEN I PURCHASED THIS CAR. NOW I SEE IN 2014 NISSAN CAME UP WITH A 'FIX' TO REPLACE/INSTALL A COOLER KIT AND A TRANS OIL COOLER. THE TWO KITS COST ABOUT $860 WITHOUT INSTALLATION. WHY IS THIS COST PASSED ON TO US THE CONSUMERS? THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN CVT DESIGN. NISSAN SHOULD MAKE GOOD ON THEIR PROMISE TO THE CUSTOMER AND RECALL THE VEHICLES WITH THIS CVT ISSUE TO REPLACE/INSTALL THE NEEDED PARTS WITHOUT MAKING US PAY FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE VEHICLE DESIGN. OH AND I I SAID EARLIER, I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING TO THE DEALER SERVICE CENTER FOR YEARS INCLUDING 2014 AND NONE OF THE SERVICE TECHS EVER MENTIONED THE COOLER KIT FIXES TO ME. THEIR RESPONSE WAS THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING WITH THE CAR. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN AND I TELL EVERYONE I KNOW ABOUT THESE CVT ISSUES. THERE ARE AT LEAST 100+ COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE ABOUT THE CVT. WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO GET A RECALL? WHY DO THE CONSUMERS HAVE TO PAY FOR NISSAN'S FAULTY CVT DESIGN?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE MADE AN ABNORMAL RUMBLING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIRES MAY BE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE TIRES WERE ROTATED, BUT THE RUMBLING NOISE WAS STILL PRESENT. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR A SECOND OPINION WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED BY THE TECHNICIAN THAT THE TIRES WERE NOT THE ISSUE; HOWEVER, THE MOTOR WAS MOVING WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AXLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE DEALER NEVER PERFORMED THE REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE. AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN, WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. WHILE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY JERKED FORWARD. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE INTAKE VALVE HOSE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR FILTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

WHEN I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR OVER AN HOUR GOING 80 MPH, THE VECHICLE QUICKLY DECCELERATED AND WHEN I STEPPED ON THE PEDAL FOR GAS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR IT DID NOT ACCELERATE. IT WAS VERY SCARY SINCE THERE WERE ARE TRAVELING BEHIND ME AND I WAS AFRAID THEY WOULD CRASH INTO ME. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY TIME I TAKE MY VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING FOR OVER AN HOUR FOR THE PAST YEAR. I AM TERRIFIED I AM GOING TO CAUSE A CRASH WHILE TRAVELING WITH MY CHILD, THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD.

WHILE DRIVING A HIGHWAY ON 65 MPH SUDDEN LOSS OF ACCELERATION OCCURS. PRESSING THE ACCELERATION PEDAL DOES NOT MAKE ANY EFFECT ON A CAR SPEED. RPM FALLS TO 1-2K AND DID NOT GOES UP. WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND STOP. AFTER 15 MINUTES WITH THE ENGINE TURNED OFF, PROBLEM DISAPPEARS. THIS HAPPENED FOR THE THIRD TIME, AS A PREVIOUSLY,IT OCCURS AFTER A LONG DRIVE (MORE THAN 3 HOURS) OR ON A HIGH SPEED (MORE THAN 75 MPH). IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN WHEN A CAR DECELERATED FROM 65 TO 30 MPH ON A HIGHWAY.

MY TRANSMISSION GOT STUCK IN 1ST GEAR WHEN PULLING OUT ONTO A BUSY ROAD, CAUSING ME TO HAVE PULL OVER AND ALMOST GETTING HIT BY OTHER VEHICLES, WHEN I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND THEN A LICENSED NISSAN DEALERSHIP I WAS INFORMED IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND FURTHERMORE INFORMED THAT ON THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS NISSAN WEBSITE IT STATES THEY HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRANSMISSION AND DOUBLED THE WARRANTY FROM 60,000 MILES TO 120,000 MILES DUE TO THIS DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION, ON NOT JUST MY MODEL AND YEAR BUT OVER 8 YEARS AND 3 DIFFERENT MODELS OF NISSANS HOWEVER BECAUSE I WAS 5000 MILES OVER THE WARRANTY THEY WOULD NOT HELP ME PAY FOR THE $3586 I HAD TO PAY TO MAKE THE VEHICLE DRIVEABLE AND SECONDLY WHAT IF THIS TRANSMISSION WOULD HAVE GOTTEN STUCK OR WENT OUT ON A HWY WHERE I WAS DOING 65 MPH NISSAN SHOULD ALSO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST FOR GETTING THIS DEFECTIVE PRODUCT FIXED I CALL THEM SEVERAL TIMES AT CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY WILL NOT ASSIST ME AT ALL BECAUSE I AM 5000 MILES OVER THE WARRANTY THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO KNOW HOW TERRIBLE OF A COMPANY THIS IS AND HOW DANGEROUS THIS COULD BE FOR OTHERS WHO OWN THESE VEHICLES.
