2011 Nissan Rogue

WHILE GOING BETWEEN 75-80 MPH FOR BETWEEN 100-125 MILES, THE CAR WOULD NOT HARDLY GO, HAD TO SLOW DOWN AND GET OFF THE INTERSTATE, CUT THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES, AND THEN IT SEEMED OKAY, THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE TRAVELING FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME ON THE INTERSTATE AT HIGHER SPEEDS, SOMETHING REALLY NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS, IT STARTED AT 30000 MILES, VERY DANGEROUS! *TR

THE 2011 ROGUE IS THE CAR WE USE FOR LONGER TRIPS WHEN WE'RE NOT FLYING. ABOUT TWO HOURS INTO A LONG INTERSTATE TRIP IN MAY 2013 WE STARTED TO HEAR A HIGH PITCHED WHINE FROM THE TRANSMISSION WHENEVER WE WOULD ACCELERATE TO GO UPHILL OR PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. SHORTLY AFTER WE STARTED HEARING THAT NOISE THE TRANSMISSION WAS UNABLE TO "DOWNSHIFT" (TECHNICALLY CVTS DON'T DOWNSHIFT) AND WE LOST POWER. WE COULD STILL MAINTAIN A REASONABLE SPEED ON LEVEL TERRAIN, BUT WE WERE BARELY ABLE TO MAINTAIN SPEED GOING OVER SMALL HILLS. WE WOULD HAVE OUR FOOT PLANTED ON THE ACCELERATOR BUT NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN, ACCELERATION WISE. ONCE WE'D STOP, TURN THE CAR OFF, WAIT A FEW MINUTES, THEN START THE CAR AND GET BACK TO DRIVING, EVERYTHING WOULD BE FINE. BUT AFTER A WHILE OF EXTENDED DRIVING THE PROBLEM WOULD RETURN. THIS ISSUE HAS SHOWN UP A FEW TIME SINCE THEN BUT ALWAYS DURING EXTENDED DRIVING SESSIONS AND NEVER ON THE DAY-TO-DAY SHORT COMMUTES, WHICH HAS MADE IT FRUSTRATING TO TRACK. IN DOING A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH WE FOUND MANY OTHER ROGUE OWNERS DESCRIBING OUR EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS, AND EVEN SOMEONE THAT POSTED A YOUTUBE VIDEO DURING THEIR PROBLEM.

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WILL LOSE POWER TO THE POINT IT ALMOST FILLS AS IF IT WILL SHUT OFF. USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN STARTING OFF ON A GRADE OR SLOWING FOR A TURN THEN PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL. THE CAR ALSO SHUDDERS AND FEELS LIKE IT CHUGGING OR WOBBLING ALONG, AS IF THE ROAD IT LUMPY. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE ISSUE, BUT NO RECALL OR SERVICE BULLETINS HAVE BEEN ISSUED. WHEN IT ALMOST COMPLETELY LOSES POWER ITS VERY SCARY, AS IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE TRYING TO MERGE ONTO THE INTERSTATE. I HAVE A YOUNG CHILD AND IT HAS PUT US BOTH IN DANGER MORE THAN ONCE SINCE BUYING THE CAR USED IN JULY 2013. *TR

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR SUDDENLY LOSES POWER, AND DOES NOT ACCELERATE. IF I AM GOING UP A HILL OR HUMP, THE CAR WILL STALL. AT TIMES, HAVE TO FIND AN ALTERNATE ROUTE WHEN DRIVING BECAUSE THE CAR WILL FAIL TO ACCELERATE. I AM AFRAID TO TRAVEL ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS WHERE THERE ARE HILL OR ELEVATED AREAS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY NOT ACCELERATE. I MUST DRIVE SOMETIMES WITH MY HAZARD LIGHTS BECAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHTS OFTEN FAIL TO COME ON. *JS

FOR A FEW DAYS I HAD NOTICED A SHUTTER IN MY CAR AS IT ACCELERATED. REALLY SINCE I HAD BOUGHT THE CAR IT HAD VIBRATION PROBLEMS. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 65 MPH ON THE FREEWAY AND GOT ON A RAMP TO MERGE ONTO ANOTHER FREEWAY. WHEN I SLOWED TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC, I COULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THE RPM GAUGE WENT UP TO AROUND 4,000 BUT THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 15 - 20 MPH. BECAUSE OF THIS, I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A TRUCK THAT WAS IN THE DISTANCE OF THE STRIGHT LANE THAT I MERGED INTO. I PULLED IN FRONT OF HIM BUT COULD NOT GO ANYWHERE AND HE WAS FORCED TO MAKE A QUICK SWERVE INTO ANOTHER LANE TO AVOID ME. THE INTERNET IS FULL OF VIDEOS AND COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER NISSAN ROGUE OWNERS THAT ARE HAVIN THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS. MY CAR DOES HAVE A LOT OF MILEAGE AS I TRAVEL ABOUT 1,200 MILES PER WEEK FOR MY JOB AS A TERRITORY MANAGER. HOWEVER, THAT ONLY MEANS THAT ALL THIS MILEAGE IS HIGHWAY MILES AND HAS NOT PUT MUCH PRESSURE ON THE TRANSMISSION. THE OTHER OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AT ANYWHERE FROM 6,000 TO 60,000 MILES. NISSAN HAS DOUBLED THEIR WARRANTIES ON THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS THAT THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED. HOWEVER, BY THE TIME I GOT MINE TO THE DEALERSHIP THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED THAT THE WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN EXTENDED BY NISSAN OR I WOULD HAVE NOTICED THAT I HAD A PROBLEM. NOW THEY HAVE CHANGED PARTS IN THE NEW TRANSMISSIONS BUT WILL NOT ADMIT TO THEIR PROBLEMS IN THE OLD ONES OR DO ANYTHING TO HELP OUT OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THESE PROBLEMS. SOMEBODY WILL BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED BY NISSAN. HOW CAN YOU PUT THIS TRANSMISSION IN CARS KNOWING ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND NOT ISSUE A RECALL? THEY ARE A SERIOUS THREAT TO OTHER VEHICLES. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL FOR 2008-2011 MODELS. THANKS.

2011 ROGUE, 40,000 MILES 2 DAYS AGO, PROBLEMS STARTED WITH ACCELERATION. SPECIFICALLY FROM A STOPPED POSITION. AND WHEN ON A HILL, OR AT A FREEWAY RAMP IT WON'T ACCELERATE AT ALL, EVEN WHEN PUSHING DRIVING PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR.( RPM DOES NOT GO UP) IF I ABLE PASSING THE 15 MILES SPEED EVERYTHING IS RELEASE AND THE CAR DRIVE NORMAL. I LEAVE IN AN UPHILL AND I HAD TO PLAN MY WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP ON SAT, AFTER VISITING THE DEALER, EVERYTHING WAS TEMPORARILY FIX, A DAY AFTER HERE WE GO AGAIN. I'M PLANNING TO CALL THE DEALER NOW. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ON A TOLL ROAD, SPEED LIMIT 80, MY CAR LOST POWER AFTER TRAVELING ABOUT 45 MINUTES. PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR RESULTED IN THE CAR STILL LOOSING POWER. IT DID NOT MATTER HOW MUCH YOU PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR STILL SLOWED DOWN. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON JULY 17, 2013. TRAVELING THE SAME ROAD. IN ADDITION, WHEN I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND CAME TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN, I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR DID NOT GO AT FIRST. THEN THE CAR SLOWLY MOVED FORWARD. I HAVE GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND MANY WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING. I ALSO SPOKE WITH AN EMPLOYEE AT AN OIL CHANGING BUSINESS WHO SAID HE HAD A CUSTOMER LAST WEEK WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HER NISSAN. IT WAS REPORTED THAT NISSAN TOLD HER THE SENSOR WAS DOING ITS JOB AND SHE WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER AFTER DRIVING FOR AN HOUR, SHUT OFF HER CAR, WAIT 10 MINUTES, THEN PROCEED. THAT WOULD CLEAR THE SENSOR AND THE CAR WOULD DRIVE NORMAL AGAIN. REALLY! *TR

ON JULY 5TH 2012 OUR RECENTLY PURCHASED (FROM CARMAX) NISSAN ROGUE SV AWD WAS TAKEN IN TO CARMAX (WHERE CAR WAS PURCHASED) IN RALEIGH NC FOR UNIDENTIFIABLE NOISE WHERE WE WERE TOLD THE TRANSMISSION SEALS WERE LEAKING. THE TRANSMISSION SEALS WERE REPLACED BY THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN RALEIGH NC. JULY 27TH, 2012 WE NOTICED AN ODD WHINING/GRINDING WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS AND THEN WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS DEPRESSED. THE WHINING/GRINDING BECAME WORSE OVER THE NEXT WEEK. ON AUGUST 6TH 2012 THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WE WERE TOLD THE TRANSMISSION SEALS WERE BAD AGAIN AND THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION WAS ORDERED ON THE 6TH OF AUGUST AND ON THE 13TH OF AUGUST WE WERE NOTIFIED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSIONS ARE ON BACK ORDER AND THE BACK ORDER IS NOT SCHEDULED TO RELEASE UNTIL THE 17TH OF AUGUST. *TR

I HAVE A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE THAT HAD 1000MI. ON IT & I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT, I GOT INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE BUT THE ROGUE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE & A VEHICLE WAS ON MY BUMPER BEFORE I KNEW IT! IT DID GET UP TO 3,000RPM'S, NO LOUD NOISE. IT WAS QUITE SCARY. ABOUT A WK. LATER IT DID A SIMILAR THING BUT LESS NOTICEABLE & I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP & THE SVC. PERSON DID A DIAGNOSTIC ON IT & IT SHOWED NOTHING, SO HE TOLD ME THAT THE NEXT TIME IT DID IT TO DRIVE IT TO A DEALERSHIP BUT IF I FELT UNSAFE TO CALL THEM & THEY WOULD PICK ME UP. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT FOR A LONG DISTANCE & I AM AFRAID TO DO SO. THE FEAR IS THAT I AM AFRAID THAT SOMEONE WILL HAVE TO DIE BEFORE THEY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SCARY SITUATION. *TR
