2010 Nissan Rogue

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE WENT INTO SAFE MODE AND INDEPENDENTLY DECELERATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE USUALLY OCCURRED AFTER TWO HOURS OF CONTINUOUS DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED BY THE MANUFACTURER FREE OF CHARGE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER INFORMATION WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 128,324.

AFTER APPROXIMATELY 2 HOURS OF DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE TRANSMISSION GOES INTO "LIMP" MODE. NISSAN STATES THIS IS THE RESULT OF THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING AND THE ONLY SOLUTION IS INSTALLING A NEW NISSAN EXTERNAL COOLER. CAR WILL BARELY REACH 55-60 MPH ESPECIALLY IF GOING UP HILL. ALSO, ONCE THE CAR IS STOPPED IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE QUICKLY. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED IT GAVE NO WARNING AND IT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE ACCELERATOR NOT RESPONDING WHEN MY ATTEMPTING TO TURN ACROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WITH SERIOUS INJURIES OR WORSE IF NOT ADDRESSED. THERE WAS NO WARNING THE TRANSMISSION HAD OVERHEATED AND GONE INTO THIS MODE. THE FIRST SIGN WAS THE CAR SIMPLY FAILING TO ACCELERATE WITH THE GAS PEDAL DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR. MULTIPLE TIMES THE CAR HAS JUST SUDDENLY DECELERATED IN HEAVY HIGHWAY TRAFFIC FROM 75 MPH TO 55 MPH AFTER ONLY 1.5-2 HOURS OF HIGHWAY DRIVING. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SIGNIFICANT DEFECT THAT IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. ALSO IT APPEARS THAT THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR A EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME WITH LITTLE TO NO EFFORT FROM THE MANUFACTURER TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE.

ON THE HIGHWAY GOING AN A 1.5 HOUR TRIP THE 2008-2010 ROUGE TRANSMISSION WILL OVER HEAT CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO "LIMP" MODE WITH NO WARNING WHICH MEANS IT HAS NO POWER. NISSAN SENT OUT A SERVICE BULLETIN TO THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENTS IN SEPTEMBER 2016 ACKNOWLEDGING THEIR IS A DEFECT AND THE FIX IS AN EXTERNAL COOLER BUT THEY REFUSE TO FIX MY CAR. IF A FAMILY OF 4 IS IN THE CAR AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR THE VEHICLE COULD GO INTO "LIMP" MODE AND WHEN THEY TRY TO PULL BACK ONTO THE HIGHWAY THEY COULD LOSE POWER RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND GET STRUCK BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND BE KILLED. WHO WOULD ANSWER FOR THAT? FLETCHER NISSAN IN JOPLIN MO ARE THE ONES WHO TOLD ME TO CONTACT YOU BECAUSE NISSAN CORPORATE ARE THE ONES REFUSING TO FIX THE ISSUE. IT HAS HAPPENED TO MY FAMILY SEVERAL TIMES IN OUR CAR. AT FIRST THEY SAID WE JUST NEEDED THE TRANSMISSION FLUSHED. WE BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 10000 MILES ON IT AND IT HAS BEEN DOING IT EVER SINCE WE HAVE HAD IT. LUCKILY I KNEW WHAT TO LOOK FOR AND KEPT MY FAMILY OUT OF HARMS WAY. JOSH HOUCHIN THE SERVICE MGR. AT FLETCHER NISSAN SAID THEY HAVE HAD 5 2008-2010 ROUGE VEHICLES COME IN IN JUST THE LAST FEW MONTHS WITH THE SAME DEFECT. SO IT IS NOT JUST MY VEHICLE. THEY NEED TO RECALL ALL THE AFFECTED VEHICLES BEFORE SOMEONE DIES BECAUSE OF THIS. THANK YOU

MY 2010 NISSAN ROGUE WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHEN GOING UPHILL ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN FLOORING THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR WILL SLOW DOWN FROM 70 TO 60 TO 50 TO 40 MPH ON A UPHILL (THERE WERE ONLY THREE PASSENGERS INCLUDING DRIVER). THE CAR TRANSMISSION WILL EVENTUALLY STOP WORKING UNTIL THE CAR COOLS DOWN. TOOK CAR TO A NISSAN SERVICE CENTER AND WAS REPAIRED UNDER NISSAN'S CVT 10 YEARS/120K MILES WARRANTY REFERENCING TSB NTB14-002E. THE VALVE BODY WAS REMOVED/REPLACED AND AN EXTERNAL COOLER WAS INSTALLED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE.

CVT TRANSMISSION OVERHEATED DUE TO THE FOLLOWING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS 1. HOT WEATHER (92 F) 2. A LONG DRIVE (OVER 3 HOURS) 3. DRIVING UP HIGHWAY MOUNTAINS IN VIRGINIA. FAIL SAFE ACTIVATED CAUSING THE CAR COMPUTER CPU TO DRASTICALLY CUT POWER TO THE WHEELS. THIS CAUSED A LACK OF POWER SUCH THAT I COULD NOT ACCELERATE UP THE HILL IN EXCESS OF 45 MPH. THE SPEED LIMIT ON THE HILL WAS 70 MPH. EIGHTEEN WHEEL TRUCKS WERE IMMEDIATELY BEHIND MY ROGUE FORCING ME TO PULL ONTO THE ROAD SHOULDER ALLOWING THEM TO GO PAST. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO A LOCAL NISSAN DEALER WHO CONFIRMED FROM EXAMINATION OF THE CAR CPU THAT THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATED AND THAT AN OVERHEAT CODE WAS FOUND IN THE CPU. THEY ALSO CONFIRMED THAT THE FAIL SAFE WAS ACTIVATED THAT CAUSED THE SEVERE POWER LOSS. THE NISSAN DEALER KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS FROM MY DESCRIPTION. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND EVEN EXTENDED MY TRANSMISSION CVT WARRANTY FROM 6YR/60,000 MILES TO 10YR/120,000 MILES. HOWEVER, THEIR SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM IS TO INSTALL AN AUXILIARY CVT TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER AT AN EXPENSE TO ME OF $1225. MY DEALER CHECKED WITH NISSAN AND SAID THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE EXPENSE EVEN THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION IN MY CAR IS STILL ON WARRANTY. DOCUMENTATION OF MY EXACT EXPERIENCE CAN BE FOUND ON YOUTUBE @ HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=GG_ZF1EO0PW. THERE ARE SEVERAL MORE VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE UNDER ROGUE CVT POWER LOSS AND DOCUMENTATION ON MANY SITES ON THE INTERNET. IN CONCLUSION, NISSAN IS INSTALLING CVT TRANSMISSIONS IN SEVERAL OF THEIR MODEL CARS WITH A KNOWN OVERHEATING ISSUE AND REQUIRES THEIR CUSTOMERS TO INSTALL A TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER AT THE CUSTOMERS EXPENSE. THE DRAMATIC LOSS OF POWER IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. IN MY CASE I HAD TO SPEED UP TO GET UP THE HILLS AS MY SPEED DROPPED FROM 80MPH DOWN TO 45MPH FINALLY PULLING ONTO THE SHOULDER.

THIS STARTED HAPPENING RIGHT AFTER THE LAST RECALL FEB 2016. WAS GOING AT 65 MPH LITTLE UPHILL (FROM 1200 FEET TO 2200 FEET) THEN THE SPEED STARTED DROPPING FROM 65MPH TO LESS THAN 30MPH ON A BUSY CALIFORNIA I-15 FREEWAY. I HAD TO PULL THE CAR FROM THE FAR LEFT LANE (5 LANES EACH WAY) TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER WHERE I STOPPED FOR ABOUT 35 MINUTES THEN STARTED THE CAR AGAIN. IT HAPPENED AT LEAST 4 TIMES SINCE THEY MESSED UP MY CAR IN THE LAST RECALL. OTHER ISSUE I EXPERIENCED WAS WHEN I STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND TRIED TO MOVE, IT BARELY MOVED THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT JUMPED, IT WAS VERY RISKY. I HAD TO PULL TO A PARKING LOT (THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES)

WELL I WAS DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY WITH SPEED LIMIT OF 80 MPH, CAR SUDDENLY WENT DOWN TO 40, ALMOST HIT BY A BIG OLD TRUCK, JEEZ GLAD TO BE ALIVE, I LOVED NISSAN N I HAD MY FIRST CAR AS NISSAN N SWITCH TO TOYOTA BUT NOW I WANNA TRY NISSAN AS IT WAS MY FAV, NOW I MISSED MY TOYOTA, ATLEAST TOYOTA CSR ARE HELPFUL IN FNDING THE PROBLEMS. NISSAN DEALERS OH BOY THEY DON'T KNOW WHATS GOING ON, I THINK THEY R JUST PRETENDING. IF ANYBODY IS BUYING NISSAN, THINK TWICE IF YOU WANNA RISK UR LIFE. HOPE NOONE GETS HURT ON HIGHWAY WITH THE SAME ISSUES!!

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.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY 2010 NISSAN ROUGE SUDDENLY WOULD DROP THE SPEED TO UNDER 55MPH. I WOULD PUSH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR BUT IT STILL WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. NO WARNINGS OR ENGINE LIGHT DISPLAYED ON THE PANEL. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE. WHAT IS SOMEONE DIDN'T PAY ATTENTION AND REAR-ENDED ME BECAUSE OF MY SUDDEN SPEED REDUCTION WITHOUT A WARNING. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR ON A INTERSTATE. I PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR IT AND NOW IT HAS A VERY LIMITED USE. I ONLY HOPE THAT NISSAN WILL CAREFULLY LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. SOMEONE'S LIFE COULD BE LOST BECAUSE OF IT. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I KNOW THAT I'M NOT THE FIRST PERSON TO MAKE THIS COMPLAINT. *TR
