TAKATA RECALL - WITH NO WARNING WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 50 MPH... CAR LOST PROPULSION ..ENGINE IDLED BUT WOULD NOT CATCH GEAR... NO ENGINE LIGHT NOTHING... I WAS IN MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC.... I WILL BE GETTING AN ASSESMENT THIS WEEK ... UNFORTUNATELY I AM JUST STARTING MUVRESEARCH FOR THIS CVT SYSTEM FOR THIS VEHICLE ..AND SO FAR IT HAS BEEN UNFAVORABLE

I AM GOING TO BE ON MY THIRD COMPRESSOR REPLACEMENT FOR THIS VEHICLE WITH A LITTLE OVER 100,000 MILES ON IT. THE DEFROST AND THE A/C ARE AFFECTED. IT IS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS IN THE WINTER IN NEW ENGLAND WHEN MY DEFROST IS SUB-PAR AND IMPEDES VISIBILITY. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS ISSUE IN THIS VEHICLE AND IT SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE ON THE BURDEN OF THE CONSUMER TO CONTINUALLY PAY FOR THIS!

TRANSMISSION IS OVERHEATED AFTER ABOUT 2 HR DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. ITS VERRY TOUGH TO CLIMB TO THE HILL, AND YOU CAN DRIVE ONLY 40 MPH. ITS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOUR CAR SUDDENLY STOP DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS. ITS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON M THE WEB, PEOPLE WRITE A LOT ABOUT THUS ISSUE, BUT THERE IS STILL NO RECALL. IT NEEDS A BETTER COOLER SYSTEM.

MY VEHICLE, A 2012 NISSAN ROUGE CAUGHT ON FIRE IN MY DRIVEWAY WHILE MYSELF AND THE OTHER MEMBERS OF OUR HOME WERE SLEEPING. WHEN I WOKE UP TO A LOUD POPPING NOISE AND RAN TO MY BEDROOM WINDOW FACING THE DRIVEWAY WHERE ALL OF THE VEHICLES WERE PARKED I NOTICED MY VEHICLE, THE NISSAN ROGUE BURNING INTENSELY. THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE IN THE FRONT WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. 911 WAS DIALED IMMEDIATELY AFTER WAKING AND NOTICING AN OBVIOUS FIRE COMING FROM THE 2012 NISSAN ROGUE, AT APPROX. 11:00 PM. BY THE TIME THE FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED, 3 OTHER VEHICLES IN OUR DRIVEWAY, ALONG WITH THE 2012 NISSAN ROGUE, WERE RUINED. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WAS SALVAGEABLE. THE FIRE WAS SO INTENSE THAT IT MELTED ALL OF THE SIDING ON THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE FACING THE DRIVEWAY WHERE THE FIRE OCCURRED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, INCLUDING THE FIRE CHIEF AND FIRE MARSHALL CONDUCTED AN INVESTIGATION AND EXPLAINED TO ME, AS WELL AS THE OWNERS OF THE OTHER VEHICLES, THAT THEY BELIEVE THE FIRE WAS ELECTRICAL AND OBVIOUSLY STARTED WITH THE 2012 NISSAN ROGUE AND ULTIMATELY SPREAD TO THE OTHER VEHICLES BEFORE THE FIRE COULD BE COMPLETELY EXTINGUISHED.

AT 49,935 MILES, THE TRANSFER CASE AND DRIVE SHAFT (WHILE DRIVING) LEAKED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1,514 + CAR RENTAL FOR 2 DAYS. THE ENGINE AND POWER TRAIN ARE COVERED BY NISSAN'S WARRANTEE ONLY UNTIL 5 YEAR,50,000 MILES. AS I WOULD BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A NISSAN DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING PROBLEM, AND THAT OTHER 2012 NISSAN ROGUE ARE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS, I WOULD VERY MUCH APPRECIATE IF THE NHTSA WOULD INVESTIGATE THIS TO DETERMINE IF A RECALL IS WARRANTED. THANK YOU.
