2012 Nissan Rogue

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN RESIDENTIAL GARAGE WITH FLAT TIRE. SCISSORS TYPE JACK HAD NEVER BEEN USED. WHEN I USED THE JACK ON FLAT, STABLE SURFACE AT HARD POINT ON VEHICLE PER OWNER'S MANUAL IT BENT MOMENTS AFTER TAKING WEIGHT. I STEPPED BACK FROM VEHICLE FOR MY OWN SAFETY, JACK BUCKLED, AND CAR FELL. LUCKILY I WAS NOT INJURED AND WHEEL WITH FLAT TIRE WAS STILL ON HUB SO VEHICLE WAS NOT DAMAGED. HOWEVER, WHEN I CONTACTED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE (CASE #26836371) THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THE JACK AS THE CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND HAD NO PROCESS TO ESCALATE THIS SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD BE AFFECTING OTHER OWNERS. A JACK THAT FAILS IMMEDIATELY UPON FIRST USE HAS TO BE DUE TO A DESIGN, MANUFACTURING, OR METALLURGICAL FLAW. ATTACHED PHOTOS SHOW TWISTED JACK AND BENT SCREW ASSEMBLY.

I HAVE A 2012 NISSAN ROGUE WITH CURRENTLY ABOUT 98K MILES. I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 70 MPH WHEN THE CAR MADE A SOUND FROM UNDER THE HOOD. WE BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE ACCELERATION ISSUES. AFTER GETTING OFF OF THE HIGHWAY, ANY TIME THAT I HAD TO ACCELERATE UP A HILL OR FROM A STOP LIGHT, THE CAR WOULD STALL, SOMETIMES MOVING AND OTHER TIMES IT WOULD NOT. THIS BECAME DANGEROUS WHEN I WOULD TRY TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ON A STOP LIGHT. I TOOK THE CAR TO BE LOOKED AT BY NISSAN WHO EXPLAINED THAT THE REPAIRS WOULD BE OVER $4000. NISSAN HAS HAD RECALLS ON OTHER CVT MODELS BEGINNING WITH THE 2013, AND I BELIEVE THIS MODEL NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO THE RECALL LIST. ADDITIONALLY, MANY TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOPS THAT I CALL CANNOT WORK WITH A CVT TRANSMISSION.

WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY MY VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN LOST ACCELERATION WHICH RESULTED IN MY NEARLY BEING INTO AN ACCIDENT WITH A TRACTOR TRAILER TRUCK AND OTHER VEHICLES BEHIND ME. MY FOOT WAS PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE DROPPED DOWN TO 40 MPH AND STAYED THERE FOR SOME TIME. THIS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME WITH MY DAUGHTER AND I NO LONGER FELT SAFE USING THE VEHICLE. I DID A SEARCH ON GOOGLE AND FOUND THAT HUNDREDS OF OTHERS WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WHICH WAS THE RESULT OF THE CVT TRANSMISSION BUT THAT NISSAN WAS MAKING THE CONSUMER PAY TO INSTALL THESE "COOLER KITS". NOT ONLY ARE THESE VEHICLES WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS UNSAFE AND TICKING TIMEBOMBS; IT IS UNFAIR THAT NISSAN IS MAKING THE CONSUMERS RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING AN ISSUE THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF. WE'RE TRUSTING THAT OUR VEHICLES ARE SAFE ENOUGH TO TRANSPORT OUR FAMILIES AND CHILDREN IN AND THEY AREN'T!! MY DAUGHTER AND I BOTH COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS CAR ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUE THAT NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS AND HOLD NISSAN ACCOUNTABLE BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE. THESE VEHICLES ARE NOT SAFE!!

THE A/C WENT OUT SUDDENLY WITH ONLY 57000 ON THIS 2012 NISSAN ROGUE. MY PREGANT WIFE IS UNABLE TO DRIVE THIS TO WORK AS IT GETS TOO HOT IN THE VEHICLE. THE SHOP QUOTED $1700 TO REPLACE A FAULTY A/C COMPRESSOR. THERE IS A LOT OF ONLINE CHATTER ABOUT MULTIPLE NISSAN VEHICLES HAVING A/C ISSUES MONTH TO A FEW YEARS AFTER DRIVING OFF THE LOT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THEY ALREADY HAVE A PART THAT SUPERSEDES THE REPLACEMENT PART THAT CAN BE INSTALLED. THEY OBVIOUSLY REDESIGNED THIS PART FOR A REASON. PLEASE DORAD THIS ON IF THIS IS NOT THE CORRECT AGENCY TO REPORT THIS ISSUE BUT IT SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY PREGNANT WIFE AS SHE CAN'T DRIVE IT TO WORK.
