2011 Nissan Rogue

YESTERDAY I WAS DRIVING TO WORK IN THE CITY TOOK A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO A BUSY STREET BESIDE THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY STEERING WHEEL TOOK CONTROL AND PULLED THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT I NEARLY CRASHED INTO A GUARD RAIL. I PULLED THE WHEEL BACK TO THE LEFT AND WAS ABSOLUTELY FREAKED OUT BY WHAT HAD HAPPENED. LAST EVENING ALL OF A SUDDEN I TURN MY CAR OFF GO INTO A STORE COME OUT AN HOUR LATER AND NOTHING AT ALL WHEN I TURNED THE IGNITION KEY. NO LIGHTS NO DASH LIGHTS NO NOISE AT ALL IS WAS AS IF BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. NEW BATTERY INSTALLED 4 MONTHS AGO. I THOUGHT I MAY HAVE LEFT SOMETHING ON AND CAUSED THE BATTERY TO DRAIN, HOWEVER, A FEW MINUTES LATER THE CAR DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP ON ITS OWN WITH THE KEY STILL IN THE IGNITION BUT NOT TURNED ON TO THE START POSITION. I TURNED THE KEY AND THE CAR STARTED. THIS MORNING I WENT TO LEAVE FOR WORK, SAME THING CAR ABSOLUTELY DEAD. I CHECKED UNDER HOOD, THOUGHT PERHAPS LOOSE CABLES TO THE BATTERY. I CHECKED AND SAW NO LOOSE CABLES I WIPED AROUND THE AREA WITH A PAPER TOWEL GOT BACK IN CAR TURNED KEY AND THE CAR STARTED. I DRIVE TO WORK IN BOSTON PARK THE CAR IN MY EMPLOYEE PARKING GARAGE AND GET OUT OF THE CAR AND WENT TO AUTOMATICALLY LOCK THE DOORS AND NOTHING. NO SECURITY LIGHT ON INSIDE OF THE CAR, TOTALLY DEAD AGAIN! I'M WONDERING IF THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH MANY OTHER NISSAN'S AS I READ ONLINE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE. HAS THERE BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE? WHAT IS THE ISSUE? I NEED TO GET THIS RESOLVED PLEASE. I CAN'T HAVE A VEHICLE THAT IS UNDEPENDABLE ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM MAKING CAR PAYMENTS ON THIS VEHICLE EVERY MONTH. IT IS RATHER SCARY THAT THIS MAY BE AN ELECTRICAL OR STEERING ISSUE FOR SAFETY REASONS. THE CAR WENT OUT OF CONTROL ON ITS OWN YESTERDAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY LOST POWER AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE ABOVE 5 MPH WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE JERKED FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,153.

PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AND STAYED ON--WITHOUT ANYONE OR THING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. DEALER SAYS THAT MUST MEAN THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS DEACTIVATED. CONTACTED NISSAN--THEY SAY IT WILL COST $2100 TO FIX. THEY WANT US TO PAY $700 OF THAT--SINCE THE CAR IS 5 YEARS OLD. IT HAS 83,000 MILES ON IT. SINCE AIRBAGS ARE A FEDERALLY MANDATED SAFETY FEATURE, I WOULD THINK THAT NISSAN SHOULD PAY ALL OF THE COST OF THIS FIX.

I HAVE A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE AND AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WITH MY DAUGHTER I LOST ALL POWER TO MY TRANSMISSION AND WAS ALMOST HIT FROM THE BACK BY A SEMI. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH MY TRANSMISSION LOOSING POWER AND BEING STRANDED WITH MY 5 YEAR OLD. NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THIS AND GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF.

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.

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.

THIS VEHICLE IS A DEATH TRAP!! COMPLETELY LOST ALL POWER WHEN TRAVELING IN A HIGHWAY . AS WE WERE HEADING UPHILL, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED MAKING A LOUD WHISTLING NOISE AND ACCELERATION WAS GONE. I ALMOST GOT HIT BY AN 18 WHEELER AS I MOVED TO THE LANE TO THE RIGHT "SLOW LANE " (TRUCKS). I HAD TO MOVE MAKE MY WAY TO THAT LANE AND EVEN THE SLOWEST SEMI WAS TRAVELING A LOT FASTER THAN MY VEHICLE WAS . I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE ON THE 15 FREEWAY NORTHBOUND HEADING TOWARDS LAS VEGAS AND IN ORDER FOR ME TO SAFELY EXIT I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO RISK GETTING HIT AND KILLED BY BIG RIGS AS I MOVED TO THE RIGHT AND GOT OUT AT THE NEXT EXIT. UPON EXITING I WENT TO PARK TO A GAS STATION AND WHEN I HIT REVERSE TO PARK PROPERLY, THE CAR DIDN'T MOVE AT ALL!! AT THE GAS STATION A GOOD SAMARITAN RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND SAID THE ERROR "TORQUE CLUTCH COVERTER". IN OTHER WORDS THE TRANSMISSION. I GOOGLED 2011 NISSAN ROGUE AND MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THE SAME ISSUE ! WHERE THEY LOSE ALL POWER WHILE TRAVELING IN A HIGHWAY (UPHILL MOST OF THE TIME). IT IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT NISSAN HAS NOT YET RECALLED THIS VEHICLE !! WITH SO MANY. WAR DEATH EXPERIENCES. COINCIDENTALLY MOST ISSUES START AT 60K MILES ONCE THE MFG WARRANTY IS UP. THIS IS BOGUS AND A TOTAL THEFT BY A NISSAN TO THE CONSUMER. THEY SHOULD ONLY SELL CARS THAT ARE SAFE NOT DEATH TRAPS LIKE THE NISSAN ROGUE. THEY'VE PREVIOUSLY RECALLED VEHICLES FOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES FROM LIKE 2004-2010 AND CLAIM THE ISSUE WAS FIXED IN ALL 2011 MODELS BUT THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE IN DANGER WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR AND ENDANGERING THE LIVES OF OTHERS SHARING THE ROAD WITH THESE FAULTY VEHICLES. *TR

DOOR LOCKS THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE DO NOT LOCK/UNLOCK AS THEY SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY (DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND BOTH BACK PASSENGER DOORS). HAVE TO MANUALLY LOCK/UNLOCK. IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY OF AN ACCIDENT/FIRE ETC., THE DOORS WOULDN'T UNLOCK IN ORDER TO GET INFANTS, TODDLERS AND YOUNG CHILDREN OUT OF THE VEHICLE IN A HURRY. IF I WERE BEING FOLLOWED/STALKED, I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO LOCK ALL MY DOORS FOR MY OWN SAFETY. BELONGINGS IN MY VEHICLE ARE AT RISK. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL TO GET THIS SAFETY ISSUE RESOLVED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. JUST LOOK AT THE LOCK PROBLEMS ON ALL FORUMS ON THE INTERNET WITH VARIOUS NISSAN MODELS. ESTIMATE OF $500 PER DOOR TO FIX EACH ACTUATOR IS INSANE. I DO NOT HAVE OVER $2,000 TO FIX SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY NISSAN. AT FIRST, I WASN'T SURE WHAT WAS GOING ON. AFTER LEAVING/LOCKING THE VEHICLE AND THEN RETURNING, ONE OF MY PASSENGERS WOULD PULL ON THEIR DOOR OR I'D PULL ON THE DOOR HANDLE ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND MY ALARM WOULD GO OFF. I HAD LOCKED/ALARMED THE CAR WHEN EXISTING BUT THE DOORS WERE NOT ACTUALLY LOCKED SO WHEN YOU RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE AND PULLED ON DOOR HANDLE YOU WERE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR (DUE TO LACK OF LOCK ACTUALLY LOCKING) WHICH CAUSED THE ALARM TO SOUND. PAYING CLOSER ATTENTION TO SEE IF IN FACT THE LOCKS WERE LOCKING/UNLOCKING WHICH THEY WERE NOT. WHEN I ARRIVE AT DESTINATIONS, TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, THE DOORS REMAIN LOCKED AND I MANUALLY HAVE TO UNLOCK BEFORE I CAN EXIT THE VEHICLE IS ANOTHER INCIDENT IN WHICH I REALIZED THERE WAS A PROBLEM.
