2011 Nissan Rogue

THE 2011 NISSAN ROGUE HAS A PROBLEM THAT IS COMMON WITH ALL OF THEM. WHEN GOING UPHILL IN THE VEHICLE IT LOOSES SPEED AND CAN NO LONGER ACCELERATE. THE CAR WILL SLOW DOWN TO AROUND 40 MPH. IT DEPENDS USUALLY ON THE GRADE OF THE HILL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS SEMI TRUCKS CAN GO FASTER THAN WHAT THE VEHICLE IS GOING WHILE GOING UPHILL. CARS ARE TRYING TO PASS SEMI TRUCKS AND IF THE SEMI TRUCK HAS TO SLOW DOWN GOING UP HILL THEN THEY GET ROAD RAGED AND THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. NISSAN WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THIS ISSUE AND DEMAND THAT AN INVESTIGATION BE LAUNCHED FOR THIS TYPE OF CAR. I KNOW THAT MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED ON MULTIPLE CAR COMPLAINT WEBSITES ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE WITH THIS EXACT YEAR AND MODEL OF CAR. IF IT IS HAPPENING IN MANY OF THE VEHICLES THEN IT IS SOMETHING THAT IS BUILT INTO THE CAR THAT NISSAN SHOULD KNOW ABOUT AND SHOULD BE HELP RESPONSIBLE TO FIX. ANOTHER COMMON RESULT IN ALL THE VEHICLES, THIS ISSUE JUST HAPPENS TO OCCUR RIGHT AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRES...50,000 MILES.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS 75MPH ALL OF A SUDDEN MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO ANY FASTER THAN 40 MPH, ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR. THIS HAPPENED TO ME ON A FEW DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, HOWEVER NO WARNING LIGHTS EVER CAME ON. IF I PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF IT SEEMED TO PERFORM "NORMAL" AGAIN. AND THIS ONLY HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING A LONG DISTANCE. UPON THE RETURN FROM MY LAST "LONG" TRIP A LIGHT DID COME ON. I TOOL IT TO MY DEALER IMMEDIATELY. THE DIAGNOSIS IN A VALVE BODY, WHICH I UNDERSTAND IS INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. THE FACTORY WARRANTY HAS RUN OUT (BY 6,000 MILES) AT THIS POINT AND THE DEALER IS SAYING THAT THEY WONT REPLACE THE VALVE BODY WITHOUT PUTTING AN "EXTERNAL COOLANT" ON AT THE SAME TIME, BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT NISSAN IS SAYING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. MY 3RD PARTY WARRANTY COMPANY WILL ONLY COVER THE COST OF THE VALVE BODY REPLACEMENT, BECAUSE THEY FEEL IT IS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE GOING GOOD FOR. NISSAN WANTS TO CHARGE ME $1000.00 FOR THAT EXTERNAL COOLANT!!!! AFTER DOING MY RESEARCH, THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM AND UP UNTIL MODEL YEAR 2010 NISSAN WAS GOING GOOD FOR THE ISSUE. ANYTHING BEYOND 2010 THEY WILL NOT. AFTER CONTACTING NISSAN TO REQUEST ASSISTANCE FOR THIS, THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY REQUEST WAS DENIED AND THAT THIS IS WHERE THEY STAND. MY BIGGER ISSUE IS THAT HOW CAN A COMPANY AS REPUTABLE AS NISSAN NOT GO GOOD FOR A MANUFACTURING MISTAKE ON THEIR PART!? HOW IS IT MY PROBLEM THAT THEY DIDN'T OUT THIS COOLANT ON IN THE FIRST PLACE, AND HOW IS IT NOT A SAFETY RECALL WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70+ MPH AND THEN SUDDENLY CANT GO ANY FASTER THAN 40!!? IS IT BECAUSE NOBODY HAS BEEN KILLED YET!? IF YOU DO YOUR RESEARCH YOU WILL CLEARLY SEE THAT THIS IS AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AS WELL AS OTHERS MANUFACTURED BY NISSAN. *TR

AT 67,000 BOTH CV BOOTS ARE BLOWN, HAD TO REPLACE, NOW THE CVT ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION, NO ACCELERATION, TRANSMISSION GEARS REVERSE AND DRIVE, I WANT A REFUND. I PURCHASED THIS USED CAR 1 YEAR AND 3 MONTHS AGO. UNSAFE I HAVE MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. VEHICLE CAN BE AT 60 MPH, AND THEN DROP TO NOTHING WITH NO WARNING. I WANT A FULL REFUND OF THE PURCHASE PRICE I PAID FOR IT I AM TERRIFIED TO KEEP DRIVING IT

ON JULY 23, 2015, I WAS DRIVING HOME AT 35 MILES PER HOUR AND SUDDENLY MY VEHICLE STALLED LIGHTS FLASHED ON DASH BOARD. I TURNED EVERYTHING OFF AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART IT AND ONLY HEARD A TREMBLING NOISE AND CLICKING OF THE DASHBOARD. IN 1 HOUR I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AFTER GETTING IT JUMPED. BATTERY WAS TESTED BY DEALER ON JULY 22,2015 RIGHT BEFORE I PURCHASED MY ROGUE 2011( USED). SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED IN PARKING LOT OF A STORE WHERE I PARKED TO SHOP ON JULY 31ST,2015. I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART MY VEHICLE UNTIL IT GOT JUMPED AGAIN. THIS VEHICLE PASSED ALL INSPECTIONS AT THE DEALER AND SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITH BATTERY, HOWEVER IT IS APPEARING THAT IPDM IS FAULTY AND COULD CAUSE A CRASH AND EVEN DEATH OF MY FAMILY ANYTIME THIS HAPPENS AGAIN WHILE I'M DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE START RECALL SO NO ONE DIES DUE TO THIS PROBLEM!

THIS INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED TWICE IN EXACTLY THE SAME MANNER: I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT; WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED, AND I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR, THERE WAS NO RESPONSE AS THE CAR ROLLED INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. I PUSHED SEVERAL TIMES AS TRAFFIC WAITED BEHIND ME. SUDDENLY IT "CAUGHT," THE POWER RETURNED, AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE (THE ENGINE DID NOT REV WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS PRESSED). LIKE OTHERS, I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED (AS ARE THOSE WHO COMMUTE WITH ME), ABOUT BEING CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION AND HIT BROAD-SIDED. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE ALSO HAS A PROBLEM WITH A BLINKING AIR-BAG WARNING LIGHT (BEGAN IN OCT.) WHICH WE TRIED TO HAVE FIXED AT THE SAME TIME. THE DEALERSHIP RESET IT, BUT UPON DRIVING OUT THE OF THE LOT, IT BEGAN BLINKING AGAIN. WE WERE TOLD IT WAS A "POSSIBLE INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH AIR BAG MODULE OR SPIRAL CABLE," AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR WHICH HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED YET. *TR
