2011 Nissan Rogue

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE FRONT PASSENGER SUSTAINED BODY PAIN AND THE DRIVER SUSTAINED RIGHT KNEE DAMAGE. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT REQUIRED. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 138,000.

WHENEVER I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, AND MY VEHICLE IS ON CRUISE; THE CRUISE MECHANISM DROPS OFF AND THE SPEED STARTS TO DECLINE. YESTERDAY, THE VEHICLE WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO ZERO AND THE VEHICLE JUST COASTED ALONG THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. ONCE THE BATTERY WAS DISCONNECTED AND RECONNECTED; THE VEHICLE WILL RUN AGAIN, BUT THE RESET ONLY LASTS FOR ABOUT A DAY OR SO. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO MY VEHICLE WHEN TRAVEL INVOLVES LONG DISTANCES SINCE 2013 NOW. YESTERDAY, WAS THE FIRST DAY THE SPEED WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN COASTING ALONG THE HIGHWAY.

THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS CAR OVERHEATS AFTER DRIVING (SLIGHTLY) UPHILL FOR OVER 5 MILES OR ANYTIME IT'S DRIVEN OVER AN HOUR. THIS CAUSES THE CAR TO LOSE ACCELERATION. MOST RECENTLY, IT OVERHEATED SO BADLY THAT I COULD PUSH THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND IT DIDN'T MOVE AT ALL. I'VE SINCE LEARNED THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF, BUT IS NOT OFFERING TO FIX THE PROBLEM OR STATE A RECALL. THEY WILL INSTALL A TRANSMISSION COOLING KIT FOR $850 AT THE CONSUMER'S EXPENSE. THE EXPENSE ASIDE, CONSUMERS NEED TO BE MADE AWARE OF THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DEFECT AS LOSS OF ACCELERATION AT HIGH SPEEDS CAN CAUSE DEADLY ACCIDENTS. NISSAN NEEDS TO BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS.

I WAS DRIVING FROM DENVER TO RATON, NM. ON I-25 OUTSIDE PUEBLO, I WAS GOING ABOUT 80 MILES AN HOUR UP A HILL. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND THE SPEED QUICKLY DROPPED TO 45 MPH. I HAD THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I HAD TO PUT MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON, SO OTHER DRIVERS WOULD KNOW I WAS HAVING CAR TROUBLE. THIS HAPPENED ON FOUR OR MORE INCLINES INCLUDING RATON PASS WHERE I COULDN'T GET THE CAR OVER 25 MPH UNTIL I WAS GOING DOWNHILL. ON THE RETURN DRIVE, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. ON MY DRIVE TO BRECKENRIDGE A FEW DAYS AGO, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE AND QUICKLY LOSING SPEED ON THE FREEWAY IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I WILL GET A DIFFERENT CAR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. ONCE I STARTED RESEARCHING ONLINE, I SAW SEVERAL OTHER ROGUE OWNERS' COMMENTS ABOUT THIS KNOWN BUT IGNORED ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING ON A LONG ROAD TRIP, TWO HOURS INTO THE RIDE MY 2011 NISSAN ROGUE DECELERATED AND WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 60 MPH. I WAS GOING ABOUT 75 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT DECELERATED, WHILE I WAS FLOORING THE GAS TO 60MPH. THE GAS PEDDLE WAS COMPLETELY FLOORED AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS FIGHTING TO STAY AT 60 MPH. THE CAR STARTED VIBRATING WAS LOUD SOUNDING LIKE IT HAD NO POWER. THEN WHEN I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND CAME TO A STOP THE CAR WAS VERY DELAYED TO ACCELERATE AT ALL, AS IF IT HAD NO POWER. I REFUELED AT A LITTLE OVER A HALF TANK AND FOR THE FIRST TIME THE GAS GAUGE DID NOT REGISTER THE CORRECT MILES OR MOVE THE DIAL. ONCE I BEGAN DRIVING AGAIN, AFTER 20 MINUTES THE CAR AGAIN SLOWED AND WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 60MPH. ONCE RESTARTING THE ENGINE THE GAS GAUGE DID READ ACCURATELY. THIS OCCURRED ONCE BEFORE WHEN THE ROGUE HAD ABOUT 70K MILES ON IT AND THIS LAST INCIDENT THE CAR HAS 96K MILES. ON THE FIRST OCCASION THE ROUGE WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 50MPH. I BOUGHT THE ROGUE BRAND AND HAVE KEPT UP WITH THE REGULAR MAINTENANCE. THIS NEVER HAPPENED WHILE LIVING IN NY AND SEEMED TO START WHEN DRIVING OVER AN HOUR OR SO ON THE HIGHWAY, IN THE FLORIDA HEAT. I DID NOT TAKE IT TO GET CHECKED OUT AFTER READING VARIOUS FORUMS THAT IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE NISSAN WILL NOT FIX.

WAS DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE WITH CRUISE ENGAGED. CRUISE WOULD ABRUPTLY DISENGAGE CAUSING THE SPEED TO FALL RAPIDLY, AND ACCELERATOR WOULD CEASE TO WORK WITH GAS PEDAL PUSHED TO THE FLOOR. WOULD ALSO DECREASE SPEED WHEN CLIMBING HILLS. NEAR COLLISION TOOK PLACE AND THIS IS MY FAMILY CAR IN WHICH I ALWAYS HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN WITH ME. THIS HAPPENED ON MORE THEN ONE OCCASION AND WOULD RESULT IN MY HAVING TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESET THE VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE HURT OR KILLED. PROBLEM PERSISTED AND LEFT ME STRANDED IN AN INTERSECTION AS WELL. DEALER SAYS IT'S THE TRANS COOLER FAILING TO KEEP THE TRANSMISSION FROM OVERHEATING AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. REPAIR WILL COST BETWEEN $1100 AND $1300. CALLED CONSUMER AFFAIRS AT NISSAN AND THEY HAVE DECIDED IT'S NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE VEHICLE THAT HAS CAUSED THIS. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW FOUR YEARS AGO AND ONLY HAS 72,000 MILES. THAT RESPONSE IS UNACCEPTABLE. HAD I KNOW THE TRANNY WOULD FAIL WITHIN THAT TIME I NEVER WOULD HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. MY RECOMMENDATION, DO NOT BUY A NISSAN. THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. ALL MODELS OF ROGUE BEFORE THIS HAD THEIR CVT WARRANTIES DOUBLED TO 120,000 MILES BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM SO WHY NOT THE 2011? IT'S THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM! EXTREMELY UNHAPPY AND WILL BE FIGHTING THIS. I WILL BE CONTACTING THE BBB AND MY LAWYER. IF YOU'RE HAVING THIS PROBLEM THEN FILE A COMPLAINT. THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN AGAIN, AND WILL BOYCOTT THEM TILL THE END OF TIME. POOR VEHICLE, POOR SERVICE, POOR RESPONSE TO CONSUMER'S. STEER CLEAR IF YOU'RE SMART!

TWICE NOW, LAST AUGUST 2014 AND JUNE 2015, TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON AROUND 70 MPH, VEHICLE DECELERATES ON ITS OWN. GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, BUT STILL LOSING SPEED. HAD TO GET TO NEXT EXIT AND TURN VEHICLE OFF FOR FEW MINUTES BEFORE PROCEEDING. SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED, TOOK TO NISSAN DEALER. COULD NOT REPLICATE PROBLEM BUT RECOMMENDED A TRANSMISSION COOLING UNIT BE INSTALLED AT COST OF ABOUT $1300, WITH NO GUARANTEE THIS WILL FIX PROBLEM. MILEAGE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS 58,600. SECOND TIME AROUND 74,000 MILES. NISSAN CVT WARRANTY EXTENSION DOES NOT INCLUDE 2011 MODELS. ENDS WITH 2010 VEHICLES, ALTHOUGH THIS VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING SAME PROBLEM AS PREVIOUS YEARS MODELS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE UP A HILL. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000. UPDATED 09/08/15*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER ADVISED THE TRANSMISSION WAS OVER HEATING AND WOULD REQUIRE A COOLING FAN. THE FAN COMES STAND IN NEWER MODELS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND REFUSED TO ASSIST WITH THE REPAIRS. UPDATED 12/10/15 *JS
