2009 Nissan Rogue

CAR TRANSMISSION MAKES WHINING SOUND. AS YOU DRIVE UP AN INCLINE IT GETS WORSE. CAR SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING. YOU ARE FORCED TO PULL OVER AS YOU HAVE NO POWER. AFTER 5 -10 MINUTES THE CAR WILL START UP AGAIN. CAR WAS BROUGHT TO NISSAN AND THEY WERE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THEY INSTALLED AN EXTERNAL OIL COOLER AS THEIR CVT TRANSMISSION HAS ISSUES WITH OVERHEATING. THIS IS MOST DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE CAR JUST SHUTS DOWN AND APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BY NISSAN. NISSAN CHARGED $1000 TO FIX THE ISSUE WHICH SHOULD BE A RECALLED SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE CAR. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND SITUATIONS WHERE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER ROGUE OWNERS. *JS

THE CAR WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" UNEXPECTEDLY AND DOES NOT MOVE. NISSAN'S OLDER CVT TRANSMISSION GETS HOT AND TO PROTECT ITSELF, NISSAN HAS IT PROGRAMMED TO SHUT ITSELF DOWN. AS A RESULT, THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE, EVEN THOUGH IT IS IN GEAR. THIS HAPPENS AFTER LONG HIGHWAY DRIVES (1 HOUR +) OR WHEN CLIMBING LONG HILLS. THE DEALER SOLUTION IS TO CONTINUALLY FLUSH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID EVERY 30K MILES AT A COST OF OVER $200 EACH TIME. THIS IS VERY VERY VERY DANGEROUS, IF YOU ARE MAKING A LEFT-HAND TURN INTO TRAFFIC AFTER COMING TO A STOP, THERE IS A HUGE POTENTIAL TO BE INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY, CLIMBING A HILL, THE CAR HAS AGAIN, GONE INTO LIMP MODE AND SLOWED DOWN TO A CRAWL, MAKING THE VEHICLE BEHIND YOU ALMOST REAR-END YOU. ADDITIONALLY, NISSAN'S ANSWER HAS BEEN TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSION TO 120K, BUT THAT IS OF NO VALUE BECAUSE THE DEALERS WILL NEVER ADMIT THAT THE CVT NEEDS REPLACING NOR DOES IT PAY FOR THE $250 CVT FLUSH. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS, IT IS VERY VERY VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY ON A LONG DISTANCE TRIP AND AFTER ABOUT 2 1/2 HOURS, MY VEHICLE WON'T ACCELERATE PAST 60 MPH AS I WAS PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE. IT WAS DANGEROUS THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE VEHICLES(INCLUDING BIG TRUCKS) BEHIND ME HAD TO BRAKE BECAUSE OF MY UNEXPECTED NO ACCELERATION. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS LIT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL TO INDICATE ANYTHING WRONG. AFTER A THE REST STOP, THE VEHICLE WENT BACK TO NORMAL BUT DID IT AGAIN WHILE RETURNING THREE DAYS LATER AND AFTER DRIVING FOR MORE THAN TWO AND HALF HOURS. CALLED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO NISSAN DEALER TO GET CHECKED. CALLED DEALER AND I HAVE APPOINTMENT NEXT WEEK. *TR

I WAS LEAVING A STORE AND GAS LIGHT CAME ON. I KNEW THAT I HAD FILL UP BEFORE ENTERING THE I-95 INTERSTATE AND I WAS A BIT PERPLEXED. I DROVE TO A GAS STATION AND FILLED UP ONCE AGAIN AND NOTICE THAT THE GAS GAUGE FILLED TO ITS CAPACITY. THIS OCCURRED A FEW MONTHS AGO AND I DISMISSED IT. ON 9/19/13, I STOPPED AT A GAS STATION AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ON 9/20/13 I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A FUEL SENDING UNIT WHICH WOULD COST ME $1,087 WHICH INCLUDES PARTS AND LABOR. OF COURSE, I DECLINE TO REPAIR IT BECAUSE AT THAT TIME I WAS FRUSTRATED WITH NISSAN AND WAS THINKING ABOUT TRADING IN THE CAR. PREVIOUSLY, I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK ON TWO OCCASIONS FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WHICH I WAS GRATEFUL THAT IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AND TREATED THIS INCIDENT AN OCCURRING PROBLEM WITH 09 ROGUE. I ONLY HAVE THIS VEHICLE FOR 1.5 YEARS AND I AM FEARFUL EACH TIME THAT I DRIVE. EVEN THE TRIPLE A YOUNG MAN TOLD ME TO GET RID OF IT BECAUSE WITHIN THE LAST MONTH HE HAS TO TOW QUITE A FEW. MY COMMUTE ON INTERSTATE EACH DAY IS WORRISOME BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT. NOW I AM STUCK WITH A NEW PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT I AM STILL PAYING FOR AND SPENDING MORE MONEY ON GAS BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAN HAPPEN . PLEASE WE MUST DO SOMETHING WITH THIS COMPANY NISSAN. I PLACED A COMPLAINT TODAY 9/23/13 AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK SINCE THEY DON'T HAVE ANY INFORMATION WITH THIS TYPE OF RECALL. (LIARS) THEY ARE LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT ON NISSANS. I AM NOT CERTAIN IF I WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON A CAR THAT I TRULY FEEL UNSAFE WITH OR WRITE OFF MY LOSS AND LOOK FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE. EITHER WAY, I HAD TO WRITE THIS COMPLAINT SINCE I HAVE NEVER FELT SO UNSAFE DRIVING A VEHICLE.

WHEN GOING OVER 60 MILES AN HOUR, USUALLY ABOUT AN HOUR INTO A LONG DRIVE, THE NISSAN ROGUE WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THE RPM INDICATOR GOES HAYWIRE AND MY FOOT IS COMPLETELY DOWN ON THE PEDAL BUT THERE IS NO ACCELERATION. THIS FIRST HAPPENED IN AUGUST 2012 WHEN I WAS DRIVING OVER A MOUNTAIN TO GET TO THE DESERT SO I THOUGHT THE CAR WAS OVERHEATING. SINCE THEN THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING CONSISTENTLY WHENEVER I DRIVE FOR OVER AN HOUR (WHICH I OFTEN DO FOR WORK). AT TIMES, THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD IF IT IS AT A STOPLIGHT EVEN WHEN MY FOOT IS COMPLETELY ON THE FLOOR. THEN IT REVS UP AFTER A MINUTE BUT NOT BEFORE EVERYONE ELSE STARTS HONKING. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU ARE ON THE FREEWAY AND SUDDENLY YOUR CAR STOPS ACCELERATING. ALL THE CARS BEHIND YOU START PASSING YOU BUT IT WILL ONLY TAKE ONE CAR NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO CAUSE A HUGE ACCIDENT, INJURY OR DEATH AND THEN NISSAN WILL BE IN REAL TROUBLE. I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF INCIDENCES AND COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER NISSAN ROGUE DRIVERS OVER THE PAST COUPLE YEARS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. *TR

WE HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON, TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY SAID IT WAS NOTHING. WENT ON A TRIP 200 ISH MILES ON THE WAY HOME I HAD TO PASS A CAR AND WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS NOTHING HAPPENED. I WAS LEFT LOOKING AT ON COMING TRAFFIC AND HAD TO MOVE BACK OVER. NO ACCELERATION AT ALL. SCARED WE WERE GOING TO RUIN IT BY DRIVING ANY LONGER I PULLED OVER. WE HAD LUNCH AND TRIED AGAIN ABOUT AN HOUR LATER IT SEEMED FINE. ABOUT 15 MINS INTO THE DRIVE IT DID THE SAME THING. NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT I BELIEVE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE TRANSMISSION. ALSO YESTERDAY IT RAINED AND NOW THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT HAS COME ON. THE CAR IS FAR TO NEW TO HAVE THESE KIND OF PROBLEMS, AND THEY COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS. *TR
