2011 Nissan Rogue

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

CAR DID NOT RESPOND TO GAS PEDAL, WAS ON I90 TRYING TO GO 60MPH WITH THE GAS PEDAL FLOORED AND THE CAR WAS GOING 20MPH. I PULLED OF THE ROAD THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON, WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN IT SAID" TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH CIRCUT INTERMITTENT. APPARENTLY SO MANY CARS HAVE THIS PROBLEM THAT THE PART IS ON "PARTS RESTRICTION" FROM NISSAN BECAUSE THE SHOPS CAN'T KEEP THEM IN STOCK BECAUSE SO MANY CARS NEED THIS PART REPLACED.

GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT CRUISING SPEED, WITH SPEED CONTROL SET, IT WOULD JUST DROP OFF CRUISE CONTROL ON IT'S OWN AND SPEED DECREASED RAPIDLY. MANUAL ACCELERATION WOULD ALSO NOT WORK. I HAD TO EXIT THE INTERSTATE AT VERY LOW SPEED. WE ALLOWED THE ROGUE TO SIT FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES THINKING THAT IS WAS OVERHEATING AS WE HAD BEEN ON A ROAD TRIP AND WERE HEADING HOME. AFTER TURNING IT BACK ON IT WAS ACTING NORMAL AGAIN. WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY TROUBLE WITHIT AGAIN UNTIL THE NEXT SUMMER WHEN WE TOOK A ROAD TRIP AGAIN. SINCE THEN IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SO I KNEW THAT IT COULDN'T BE FROM THE CAR OVERHEATING. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN CONCERNING THIS ISSUE, BUT THE 2011 MODEL WAS NOT COVERED. THIS IS INSANE. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $5,000 TO REPAINR. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG THIS PROBLEM HAS EXISTED BECAUES WE HAD NEVER TAKEN IN ON A ROAD TRIP UNTIL ABOUT 50,000 MILES WHEN IT OCCURRED. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER THE SECOND INCIDENT AT 62,000. THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE REPAIRED IT HAD WE BROUGHT IT IN PRIOR TO 60,000 BUT SINCE IT WAS OVER THEY WOULD COVER NOTHING EVEN THOUGH THEY ADMITTED THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH MANY OF THIER TRANSMISSIONS!! THEY ALSO SAID THEY WOULD ONLY REPLACE OR ADD A COOLING FAN BUT THEY WOULD NOT TRY TO REPAIR IT BECAUSE THAT WAS NOT ALLOWED BY NISSAN. THEY SAID NISSAN WILL NOT EVEN LET THEM OPEN IT UP. THIS IS VERY WRONG!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT UP. ALTHOUGH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THERE WAS A SUDDEN INCREASE IN ENGINE RPMS, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000.

GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT CRUISING SPEED WITH SPEED CONTROL SET I NOTICED THAT THE WHEN CLIMBING A HILL WE WERE LOSING EXCESSIVE SPEED AND THE ENGINE SPEED WOULD NOT INCREASE. I DISENGAGED THE SPEED CONTROL AND MANUALLY TRIED TO ACCELERATE AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT INCREASE OVER 2500 RPMS. I IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO EXIT UP AN OFF RAMP AND COULD NOT CLIMB THE RAMP FASTER THAN 10MPH. WE ALLOWED THE ROGUE TO SIT FOR 10 MIN.'S THINKING THAT IS WAS OVERHEATING. WHEN WE RESUMED THE TRIP THE ROGUE WAS ACTING NORMAL AGAIN. UNTIL THE RETURN TRIP WHEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED. SINCE THEN IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN CONCERNING THIS ISSUE, BUT THE 2011 MODEL WAS NOT COVERED. IN MY OPINION ANY SYSTEM THAT DISENGAGES THE ACCELERATION SYSTEM WHILE TRAVELING THE INTERSTATE IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. HAVING DRIVEN AND WORKED ON CARS ALL MY LIFE, I HAVE NEVER HAD ONE THAT SCARED ME LIKE THIS. IT IS NOT A COMFORTABLE FEELING LOOKING IN THE MIRROR TO SEE A SEMI GAINING ON YOU AND THERE IS BASICALLY NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. *TR
