2011 Nissan Rogue

MY 2011 NISSAN ROGUE HAS EXPERIENCED ACCELERATION PROBLEMS AFTER DRIVING IT ON THE HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT 70 MILES. IF I HAVE TO BRAKE ON THE HIGHWAY, THEN IT TAKES MY CAR A LONG TIME TO ACCELERATE BACK UP(RPM'S ARE HIGH) AND SOMETIMES CANNOT GO ABOVE 50 MPH AS CARS ARE WHIZZING BY ME. ONCE THIS ISSUE STARTS, IT CONTINUES, EVEN IF I AM AT A LOWER SPEED OR FROM A STOPPING POSITION. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS! I HAVE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND SAID THAT NISSAN IS ADDING A COOLER KIT TO THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THEY THINK THE PROBLEM IS FROM THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING. THEY WANT ANYWHERE FROM $800-1,200 TO INSTALL THE COOLING KIT. WHY SHOULD THE CONSUMER HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS IF NISSAN IS HAVING TO ADD A KIT TO COOL DOWN THE TRANSMISSION? OBVIOUSLY, IT'S A DEFAULT IN THE TRANSMISSION AND HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY ON LOTS OF VEHICLES. ACCORDING TO A WEBSITE, NISSAN HAS AN EXTENDED CVT WARRANTY FOR 2003-2010 NISSAN ROGUES, BUT NOTHING AFTER THAT EVEN THOUGH NEWER CARS (2014) ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. DO PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE FIRST BEFORE THEY DO A RECALL? IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND HARD TO RECREATE AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO GET THE TRANSMISSION WARM AND THAT USUALLY TAKES A LONGER DISTANCE TO DRIVE. ALSO, THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS THAT COME ON TO INDICATE A PROBLEM SO THIS MALFUNCTION JUST CATCHES YOU BY SURPRISE! I HOPE NHTSA GETS INVOLVED AND TELLS NISSAN TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ON THEIR DIME, NOT OURS. I WILL NEVER BUY A NISSAN AGAIN AND WILL BE SURE TO WARN MY FRIENDS OF THIS DEADLY SITUATION.

THE CAR STALLS, WON'T ACCELERATE, AND RAMPS RPM WHEN SLOWING DOWN. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED BY NISSAN WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AT 52K MILES, AND NOW NEEDS REPLACING AGAIN. THE DEALER STATES THE TRANSMISSION HAS OVERHEATED 91 TIMES ON THIS VEHICLE AND ALSO NEEDS A TRANSCOOLER ADDED. I NOTICE 141 COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT NO INVESTIGATION. THE '08, '09, '10 MODELS HAVE ALL HAD THEIR WARRANTIES EXTENDED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD ON A HIGHWAY WHEN VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE HIT FROM BEHIND, AS THE DRIVER HAS NO WAY TO KEEP A STEADY ACCELERATION, OR SLOW THE RPM UNLESS THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. NISSAN SHOULD REPLACE ALL TRANSMISSIONS IN THE ROGUE.

I WAS AT THE STOP SIGN ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN FROM A BANK PARKING LOT, WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE TO THE LEFT WITH GREAT SPEED TOWARDS A MAJOR HIGHWAY JUST A FEW FEET AWAY. I TURNED MY WHEEL TO THE LEFT SO TO AVOID GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY AND BE HIT BY TRAFFIC. MY CAR WENT OVER THE METAL FENCE , THEN OVER A HILL AND ENDED UP ON TOP OF ANOTHER SET OF NEW CARS AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. BOTH SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE CAR IS TOTALED. THE CAR TOTALLY LOST CONTROL....AT THIS TIME I DO NOT HAVE PICTURES OR A POLICE REPORT AVAILABLE.

CAR WILL STOP ACCELERATING AFTER DRIVING FOR 45-60 MINUTES. LOUD WHINING NOISES CONSTANTLY. NISSAN HAS REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND THE SERPENTINE BELT AND IT STILL HAPPENS. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR BACK MORE THAN 8 TIMES AND THEY WILL NOT FIX IT!! PLEASE HELP! I'VE ALMOST BEEN HIT MORE THAN 5 TIMES WITH MY TWO CHILDREN IN THE CAR BECAUSE OF THESE ISSUES.

SINCE PURCHASING MY 201 ROGUE IN 2012, WITH 4,000 MILES ON IT, WHENEVER DRIVING FOR MORE THAN 35-40 MINUTES, HAVE TOTAL LOSS OF ACCELERATION. HAPPENS ON HIGHWAY, DURNING DRIVING AROUND TOWN AND FROM A COMPLETE STOP. OCCURS NO MATTER THE TIME OF YEAR OR THE WEATHER CONDITIONS. RESEARCHED AND FOUND ON LINE THIS HAPPENS TO MULTITUDES OF OWNERS OF NISSAN 4CYL VEHICLES WITH CVT. NO FIX HAS BEEN NOTED, JUST WAITING FOR A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR DEATH, BEFORE NISSAN OR GOVERNMENT DOES ANYTHING. CAN NOT AFFORD TO JUST GO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE. WILL NOT EVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN 4CYL WITH THE CVT. DISAPPOINTED, CONCERNED AND HOPING I AM NOT THE FATALITY,

WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH ON THE NEW JERSEY TURNPIKE, THE CAR SUDDENLY DROPPED IN ACCELERATION TO 40MPH. PRESSING ON THE GAS CAUSED THE RPM TO REV, HOWEVER NO CHANGE IN SPEED OCCURRED. UPON INQUIRING ABOUT THIS ISSUE, I CAME TO FIND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN'S CVT COMPONENTS THAT THE COMPANY IS AWARE OF, HOWEVER NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS, SUCH AS HEAT WAVES, USING THE CAR FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD OF TIME, AND TRAVELING UPHILL HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED TO TRIGGER THE LOSS OF ACCELERATION. THIS COMMON FLAW FOUND WITH NISSAN CARS IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AND WILL INEVITABLY RESULT IN THE LOSS OF LIFE.

WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH CRUISE ON ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE CRUISE CUTS OFF AND THE CAR LOSES ACCELERATION. I PRESZED THE GASS PEDAL AND RPMS WENT UP BUT VEHICLE STILL DID NOT ACCELERATE. I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO GO OVER 40 MPH. I WAS TRAVELING WITH MY FOUR CHILDREN AND VERY LUCKY THAT THERE WAS T ANYONE BEHIND ME SO INWAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER.
