TRY CALLING NISSAN BUT NO ANSWERS. NOBODY SEEMS TO KNOW WHY MY VEHICLE IS DOING THIS.

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.

LUCKILY, I WAS ALONE IN THE VEHICLE AND NOT MY WIFE AND TWO YOUNG KIDS. THAT COULD HAVE BE DEVASTATING IF LOSS OF ACCELERATION OCCURRED ON THE FREEWAY. THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A CVT TRANSMISSION WHICH NISSAN IS APPARENTLY IS AWARE OF BUT REFUSES TO FIX EVEN WITH THE MASS AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS THAT CURRENTLY EXIST.

Official recalls
2Jan 26, 2015
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2008-2013 Nissan Rogue vehicles manufactured March 7, 2007, to November 26, 2013, and 2014 Nissan Rogue Select vehicles manufactured September 23, 2013, to July 2, 2014. The affected vehicles may experience an electrical short in the harness connector due to a mixture of snow/water and salt seeping through the carpet on the driver side floor near the harness connector.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: An electrical short can cause a vehicle fire.
Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the kick panel wiring harness connector and will if necessary install a new harness connector and waterproof seal, free of charge. The recall began on February 26, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.
Nov 23, 2011
NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011 ROGUE VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM AUGUST 17, 2010, THROUGH OCTOBER 30, 2010. THE CIRCUIT BOARD MAY NOT HAVE BEEN INSTALLED IN THE CORRECT POSITION ON CERTAIN ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) ASSIST CONTROL UNITS. THIS MAY CAUSE ADDITIONAL STRESS ON THE SOLDER OF THE TERMINAL TO THE CIRCUIT BOARD RESULTING IN THE SOLDER CRACKING AND SEPARATING COMPLETELY FROM THE CIRCUIT BOARD.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: AS THE CIRCUIT BOARD FAILS, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FEATURE WILL STOP FUNCTIONING, INCREASING THE FORCE NEEDED TO STEER THE VEHICLE AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: NISSAN WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE EPS CONTROL UNIT IF NECESSARY, FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING DECEMBER 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
