2012 Nissan Rogue

MANY TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, USUALLY GOING UPHILL, I HAVE TROUBLES WITH THE VEHICLE'S ACCELERATION. THE CAR STARTS TO MAKE A FUNNY SOUND, AS IF IT'S TRYING TO ACCELERATE, BUT IS UNABLE TO. I'VE HAD TO PULL OVER BECAUSE THE CAR WILL SLOW DOWN AND WILL NOT GO PAST LIKE 40 MILES PER HOUR, EVEN IF I'M STEPPING ON THE GAS. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE I'M TYPICALLY NOT IN THE SLOW LANE, SO I START TO IMPEDE TRAFFIC WHEN THIS HAPPENS, AND CARS GET REALLY CLOSE TO HITTING ME.

I WAS DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, TRAVELING THE SPEED LIMIT (65 MPH) WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN DECELERATING. THE VEHICLE'S SPEED DECREASED FROM 65 MPH TO 0 MPH IN LESS THAN TWO MINUTES. I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AND THE RPM INDICATOR ADVANCED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE SPEED DECREASED. WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR PREVIOUS PROBLEM, THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY DIED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE DURING RUSH HOUR. I WAS IN THE CENTER DRIVING LANE AND WAS TRAVELING WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE TRAFFIC ONTO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE, WHERE I WAS STRANDED FOR 2.5 HOURS. SINCE MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN DISABLED, I HAVE CONDUCTED RESEARCH ON OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS THAT HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES WITH NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSIONS. MOREOVER, NISSAN HAS HAD SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION FOR OVER A DECADE. DESPITE GOVERNMENTAL OVERSIGHT AND THE COMPANY HAVING TO CORRECT DEFECTS, NISSAN CONTINUES TO MANUFACTURE THESE DANGEROUS VEHICLES. LIFE AND SAFETY SHOULD BE A PRIORITY FOR INNOCENT BUYERS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC. MY LOCAL NISSAN LEADERSHIP HAS DIAGNOSED AND CONFIRMED MY VEHICLE'S PROBLEM AND CONCLUDED THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION MUST BE REPLACED. ASIDE FROM HAVING A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION, MY VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.

VEHICLE IN THE SHOP FOR A MAJOR OIL LEAK, 2 KEY FOBS DON'T WORK, RECALL, LEAKING SUNROOF, AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHING. QUOTED 3500 TO REPLACE SEAT/MODULE, 350. FOR OIL ISSUE, 1400. SUNROOF. I INHERITED THIS CAR IN 2013 WHEN MY MOTHER PASSED AWAY AND IT ONLY HAS 20000 MILES ON IT. I COULD BUY ANOTHER NEWER USED CAR AT THIS RATE!! THIS IS REDICULOUS FOR A VEHICLE WITH SO LOW MILES TO HAVE THIS MANY ISSUES. AT THIS RATE I WILL NEVER PURCHASE OR RECOMMEND NISSAN AGAIN. PLEASE ADVISE. THANKS, DEB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN TO 40 MPH. WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE SPEED DECREASED TO 30 MPH. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND DROVE HOME. THE FAILURE LATER RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. THE CONTACT CALLED WIN KELLY CHEVROLET CLARKSVILLE AT (443) 574-5704 (LOCATED AT 12421 AUTO DR, CLARKSVILLE, MD 21029). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO COWLES NISSAN (14777 JEFFERSON DAVIS HWY, WOODBRIDGE, VA 22191, (703) 497-3000) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS AN OIL LEAK, AND A BODY VALVE AND COOLANT FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,449.

SPEED LIMIT WAS 80 MILES TRAVEL DOWN THE HIGH WAY AND THE CAR BEGIN TO SO DOWN TO 5 MILES. SO I DRIFTED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BECAUSE A TRACTOR TRAILER TRUCK WAS ABOUT 6 CAR LINKS BEHIND ME. IF THIS CAR WOULD HAVE COMPLETE STOP THE TRUCK WOULD HAVE HIT THE CAR. I WAS SCARED BECAUSE I NEVER HAD A VEHICLE THAT DONE THIS BEFORE. I SIT ALONG SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR ABOUT 20 MIN CALLED MY HUSBAND BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. AFTER 20 MINS I RESTARTED THE CAR PUT IT IN GEAR AND DRIVE AT 60 MILES UNTIL I GOT HOME WHICH WAS 94 MILES. BY THE TIME I GOT HOME THE CAR WAS MAKING THIS STRANGE NOISE. IT SOUND AS IF THE ENGINE WAS ABOUT TO FALL OUT OF THE CAR.

FAILING CVT (CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION) MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT AN APPROX. 65 MPH, HEADED BACK TO COLLEGE, WHEN HER 2012 ROGUE STOPPED ACCELERATING WHILE PUSHING ON THE GAS PEDDLE. THE CAR WOULD NOT REACT TO STEPPING ON THE GAS. IT WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, SO SHE PULLED TO SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN TRYING TO TAKE OFF AGAIN, IT JUST REVVED AS THOUGH IN NEUTRAL. SHE TURNED THE CAR OFF. AFTER TURNING THE CAR BACK ON, SHE WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE VERY SLOWLY. REVVING SOUND CONTINUED THROUGHOUT ACCELERATION. SHE WAS ABLE TO GET TO HER DESTINATION. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO LITHIA NISSAN IN EUGENE, OR ON APRIL 3, 2018. WE LIVE 108 MILES FROM THE DEALERSHIP. AS OF TODAY, APRIL 18, 2018, THE CAR IS STILL THERE! THE CVT PROBLEM WAS RECREATED AT NISSAN AND WE WERE TOLD A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS REQUIRED AT A COST OF $3000. THE WARRANTY ENDED AT 60K AND THE CAR HAS JUST UNDER 65K. I FILED A CASE WITH NISSAN USA. FOR SOME REASON THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT CAPTURE THE PROOF OF FAILURE INFORMATION. NISSAN USA THEN REQUIRED THE DEALERSHIP TO PROVIDE A "VIDEO" OF THE PROBLEM OCCURRING. BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO CAPTURE THE CVT ISSUE ON VIDEO, NISSAN USA CLOSED THE CASE. I ASKED THEM NOT TO CLOSE THE CASE UNTIL THERE WAS A RESOLUTION. THEY TOLD ME WITHOUT THE VIDEO FOR REVIEW, THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. THEY TOLD ME TO PAY THE $3000 FOR THE REPLACEMENT, OR CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN, AND GET IT INTO A DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY SO THEY DOCUMENT THE PROBLEM WHILE IT'S HAPPENING! I TOLD THEM IT'S UNACCEPTABLE TO REQUIRE MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER TO DRIVE A CAR WE KNOW IS GOING TO FAIL, BUT CAN'T DETERMINE WHEN OR WHERE. THAT'S PUTTING HER IN DANGER. RESEARCH SHOWS THE CVT FAILURE IS A COMMON PROBLEM. TRANSMISSIONS SHOULDN'T GO OUT AT 65K! THIS IS OUR FIRST NISSAN, AND WE WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER ONE. RECALL!
