I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY ROGUE 2011 AFTER HAVING SEVERAL SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR. THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED IN JANUARY 2012. I JUST PULLED OUT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN MY CAR FELT HEAVY AND DRAGGING AS I PUSHED ON THE ACCELERATOR. I WAS PUSHING DOWN HARD ON THE GAS AND THE CAR WAS BARELY MOVING. THEN IT DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. THIS PUT ME IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND REPAIRED. THE SECOND INCIDENT TOOK PLACE 4 DAYS LATER. THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE THE CAR DIED. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS AGAIN. ON FEBRUARY 3, 2012 I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR BEGAN SHAKING AND VIBRATING. I DROVE SOMEWHERE SAFE AND THEN HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. I AM HOPING THE CAR WILL BE RECALLED BECAUSE I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR AND I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER TRANSPORTATION. THIS IS NOT NORMAL TO HAVE SUCH SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH A NEW CAR. *TR

11V565000 · Steering:electric Power Assist System

Nov 23, 2011

NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011 ROGUE VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM AUGUST 17, 2010, THROUGH OCTOBER 30, 2010. THE CIRCUIT BOARD MAY NOT HAVE BEEN INSTALLED IN THE CORRECT POSITION ON CERTAIN ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) ASSIST CONTROL UNITS. THIS MAY CAUSE ADDITIONAL STRESS ON THE SOLDER OF THE TERMINAL TO THE CIRCUIT BOARD RESULTING IN THE SOLDER CRACKING AND SEPARATING COMPLETELY FROM THE CIRCUIT BOARD.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: AS THE CIRCUIT BOARD FAILS, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FEATURE WILL STOP FUNCTIONING, INCREASING THE FORCE NEEDED TO STEER THE VEHICLE AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy: NISSAN WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE EPS CONTROL UNIT IF NECESSARY, FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING DECEMBER 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
