2010 Nissan Rogue

Subject: Urgent Mediation Request: Vehicle Purchase Issue Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction and concern regarding my recent vehicle purchase experience at K&O Auto Wholesale Inc, located at 8664 Phillips Highway, Jacksonville, FL 32256. On August 21st, at 5:22 pm, I purchased a vehicle from K & O Auto, having been assured by the salesperson Martin that the vehicle was in impeccable condition. This assertion was accompanied by the claim that the vehicle had recently arrived and undergone a thorough inspection. Initially, the test drive went smoothly, with no dashboard warnings detected. Consequently, I made the purchase for $6,400. However, my drive back to base revealed a slight exhaust noise and odor, though these issues seemed to dissipate momentarily. The following day, the engine light came on, accompanied by a strong exhaust odor. I promptly contacted your dealership, and I was instructed to bring the vehicle in after work for assessment and scheduling of a mechanic's appointment. This conversation was documented for reference. Upon arriving at the dealership, I was met with a starkly different response from Martin, the dealer. He abruptly informed me that the vehicle was sold "as is" and suggested buying a flush from Walmart or Autozone to remedy the issue. This abrupt about-face left me stunned, especially considering the initial assurances provided. It appears that the dealership may have misrepresented the vehicle's condition, manipulated the check engine light, and provided a misleading diagnosis. In light of these circumstances, I urgently seek mediation to swiftly resolve this matter. Given the transaction's integrity and the ethical considerations surrounding dealership practices, an equitable and timely resolution is crucial. I eagerly await your response. Thank you for your prompt attention. Sincerely,

WITH DAUGHTER DRIVING IN MOUNTAINS. AFTER APPX. 2 HOURS OF DRIVING THE CAR WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE BEYOND 40MPH ON 65 MPH HIGHWAY. EVEN SLOWER ON HILLS, NO POWER.A LOT OF SEMIS AND CARS HONKING BUT NO PLACE TO PULL OVER.FELT WE COULD BE RAMMED FROM BEHIND AT ANY MOMENT. TERRIFYING.SUBSEQUENT CHECK ONLINE REVEALED THIS IS SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THERE HAVE BEEN LOTS OF COMPLAINTS. WHY HAS NOTHING BEEN DONE? IF EVER A RECALL WAS NEEDED THIS IS IT. WORSE THAN AN AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYING IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAS POTENTIAL TO BE THE CAUSE OF MANY ACCIDENTS. MOST VEHICLES ON I-70 EXCEED THE 65MPH SPEED LIMIT AND A CAR GOING LESS THAN THE MIN REQUIRED SPEED IS AT GREAT RISK. DO SOMETHING!! MORE INFO ON THIS PROBLEM IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. JUST GOOGLE NISSAN ROGUE ACCELERATION PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING MY WIFES 2010 NISSAN ROGUE SL FWD IS SHOWED 62 MILES LEFT BEFORE EMPTY ON THE FUEL GAUGE. THE CAR DIED ON A WINDING BACK COUNTRY ROAD WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF SOMEONE WERE TO COME OVER A BLIND HILL AND HIT US. THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED RUNNING, I LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. GOT THE CAR STOPPED AND HAD TO CALL THE POLICE TO COME OUT AND FLAG DOWN ON-COMING TRAFFIC THAT WE WERE STOPPED AHEAD. THE CAR WOULD TURN OVER BUT NOT START, ACTING AS IF IT WERE OUT OF GAS EVEN THOUGHT THE FUEL GAUGE SAID 60 MILES TO EMPTY. HAD TO GET A RIDE TO GET FUEL AND CAR STARTED RIGHT UP. THIS OBVIOUSLY SHOWS THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT OR GAUGE IS NOT CALIBRATED PROPERLY AND CAUSED A WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS OR DEADLY SITUATION. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NISSAN ROGUES AS WELL AS OTHER MODELS BUT NO RECALL OR TSB HAS BEEN ISSUED.

9-5-15 WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN CAR CAME TO SUDDEN STOP IN THE MIDDEL OF TURN.ENDING UP FINDING OUT THE TRANISSION BLOW COST ME 4500.00 TO PUT A NEW TRANSISSION IN. ONCE I GOT THE TRANSISSION PUT IN I TOKE THE VEHICLE BACK TELLING THEN WHEN AT A STOP SIGN OR LIGHTS THE CAR WOULD DIE OUT. SOMETIMES THE CAR HAS NO POWER WHEN TAKING OFF. CAR HAS BEEN TO 3 DIFFERANT SHOPS FOR THE DIEING OUT, IT HAS NO CODES NO ONE CAN FIND WHATS WRONG WITH THE CAR.

SEVERAL TIME THE CAR HAS NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY FROM A STOPPED POSITION. I WOULD PRESS THE GAS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE UNTIL SUDDENLY IT SEEMED TO "CATCH". JUST RECENTLY DRIVING AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 75MPH THE CAR GRADUALLY SLOWED AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. IT DROPPED DOWN TO ABOUT 65 MPH AND THEN EVENTUALLY GRADUALLY ACCELERATED. WHEN I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY I CAME TO A STOP LIGHT. AGAIN, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. WHEN I GOT HOME I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TRIED TO "REV" THE ENGINE AND AT FIRST NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN. I HAD MY FOOT TO THE FLOOR. THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS ROGUE HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED TWICE! THIS TRANSMISSION HAS ABOUT 50,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 75 MPH FOR AROUND 30-40 MINUTES WHEN THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING AND BEGAN DECELERATING. I HAD MY FOOT ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE GAS PEDDLE AND IT JUST KEPT LOSING SPEED. LUCIKLY I WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO THE RIGHT LANE, BECAUSE I WANTED TO GET INTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE WHEN THE CAR FINALLY BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. THE CAR BEGAN ACTING NORMAL AFTER THAT UNTIL I GOT OFF THE EXIT RAMP ABOUT 10 MINS LATER. I STOPPED AT THE END OF THE RAMP AND WHEN IT WAS MY TURN TO GO THE CAR HAD AGAIN NO POWER. MY FOOT WAS PUSHING THE GAS PEDDLE TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR JUST BEGAN TO ROLL, I QUICKLY HAD TO TURN ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND ROLL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MY HUSBAND AND I WAITED FOR A FEW MOMENTS AND THEN THE CAR DROVE NORMAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES TO ME NOW, ALWAYS AFTER DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT 30-45 MINS. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING ONLINE AND HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE, BUT NISSAN REFUSES TO FILE ANY KIND OF RECALL. I HAVE OWNED A FEW NISSANS BUT AFTER THIS, AND READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM THIS IS MY LAST ONE. I COULD HAVE KILLED MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE IF THIS HAD CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT EVERYONE DRIVING A ROGUE IS DRIVING A TICKING BOMB SINCE YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND INVESTIGATED AS TO WHY NISSAN IS NOT FIXING AN ISSUE THAT THEY KNOW EXISTS. DO THEY CARE THAT LITTLE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS.
