2009 Nissan Rogue

CAR DECELERATES ON ITS OWN. WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND ON SMALL ROADS, THE CAR WILL SLOW AND EVEN WHEN ACCELERATOR IS PUSHED THE RPMS WILL NOT INCREASE OVER 3000 AND THE ENGINE DOES NOT REV AND THE VEHICLE LOSES ACCELERATION. THIS IS A VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE IN ORDER TO PULL OVER TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC. ALL FLUIDS ARE MAINTAINED. THE VEHICLE IS PROPERLY SERVICED.

LOOSES POWER UPON DRIVING NO EXCELLERATION AND IT WONT GO IT'S LIKE THE THROTTLE PETAL ISN'T EVEN THERE WHEN YOU START OUT IT DRIVES GREAT BUT WITHIN 20/30 MILES IT'S LIKE THE CAR TAKES OVER AND IT JUST WON'T GO' WE DO REGULAR SERVICE AND WE HAVE DONE TRANSMISSION SERVICES CVT FLUID AND FILTER THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE

LOSS OF POWER AND JUDDERING (SHAKING) OF VEHICLE OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE ACCELERATING, DRIVING UP HILLS, DRIVING FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME (OVER 1 HOUR), OR WHEN THE AIR TEMPERATURE WAS OVER 80 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT, ALL WHILE ACCELERATOR WAS DEPRESSED. WHEN I TRIED TO FLOOR THE ACCELERATOR, THE RPM'S INCREASED BUT THE CVT DID NOT ENGAGE. HAD TO REMOVE FOOT FROM ACCELERATOR THEN REAPPLY, EVENTUALLY AFTER THE CAR SLOWED EVEN FURTHER, THE CVT RE-ENGAGED. WORST ISSUE HAPPENED WHILE ON THE I90 INTERSTATE, ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE AND CAR LOST POWER AND JUDDERED ALMOST CAUSING A COLLISION WITH VEHICLE BEHIND ME. TOOK VEHICLE INTO DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR THIS ISSUE, FIRST TIME THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT REPLICATE ISSUE. TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK INTO THE DEALERSHIP WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM ORIGINAL ISSUE AND DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED ISSUE AND SAID NEW TRANSMISSION WAS NEEDED. HOWEVER, NOT COVERED UNDER NISSAN EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE THERE WERE NOT HARD FAULT CODES. CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS ON IN JULY 2018 WHO SAID MY VIN IS NOT PART OF ANY UPDATES/RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE AND WOULD NOT COVER REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF TRANSMISSION.

DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE ENGINE REVED TO HIGH RPMS AND LOST POWER. THERE WERE TWO BABIES IN THE CAR. WE WERE IN THE CARPOOL LANE AND WITH NO POWER WE HAD TO CROSS 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC AND WAIT ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY WITH BABIES FOR TOW TRUCK. WAS TOWED TO A FRIENDS AUTO SHOP WHERE WE WERE TOLD ABOUT NUMEROUS KNOWN ISSUES WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION.

CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE OR RESPOND TO GAS PEDAL ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME OR UPHILL. WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED THE VEHICLE WILL JUDDER AND LOOSE SPEED. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP IN 2016 FOR CVT OIL COOLER RECALL AT 93,063 MILES. BROUGHT VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP WITH LOSS OF ACCELERATION AT 119,931; HOWEVER, NO HARD CODES TO DIAGNOSIS ISSUE, SENT ON MY WAY, WITH A DIAGNOSIS OF BAD WHEEL BEARING. RETURNED LESS THAN A MONTH LATER WITH UNRESOLVED ISSUE (LOSS OF ACCELERATION) AT 121,075 MILES. DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAR NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION AND WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, 1,075 MILES OVER WARRANTY.

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.

DRIVING UP A HILL ON HIGHWAY ROUTE 80 WEST AT 65 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN SPEED STARTED TO DECREASE I PRESSED DOWN FULLY ON GAS WITH NO RESPONSE TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP SPEED CONTINUED TO DECLINE TO 55 MPH WITH TRAFFIC FLYING BY ME HONKING HORNS ETC I PUT HAZARDS ON AND CONTINUED TO PRESS GAS WITH NO RESPONSE WAS ABLE TO GET UP HILL AND SPEED AND TRANSMISSION RETURNED TO NORMAL. VERY HAZARDOUS FOR THIS TO OCCUR WITH KIDS IN THE CAR AS WELL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC IN MAY OF 2017. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND SUGGESTED TAKING THE VEHICLE TO ONE OF THEIR FACILITIES FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 159,000.
