TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ROGUE EQUIPPED WITH YOKOHAMA YK580 TIRES, SIZE: 225/60/R17 (NA). WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO VIBRATE. THE CONTACT CONTINUED DRIVING AND THE VIBRATION WORSENED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NOTICED A BRAKE CHECK AUTOMOBILE CENTER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE CENTER AND THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE HAD A BUBBLE WITH TREAD SEPARATION AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TIRE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT LATER TOOK THE TIRE TO DISCOUNT TIRES (LOCATED ON 10331 BROADWAY ST, PEARLAND TX 77584) AND THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT SHE HAD GONE OVER THE MILEAGE FOR THE WARRANTY AND WAS SUPPOSED TO REPLACE THE TIRE AT 60,000 MILES. THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,389 AND THE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,542.

THE VEHICLE HAS HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS PERTAINING RO THE TRANSMISSION. IT'S LOUD AND WHINING FOR THE LAST 40000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS NORMAL, THERE IS NO WAY. IT ALSO HAS A PROBLEM OF BINDING UP WHEN YOU TURN THE WHEELS AT SAME TIME OF ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE ALSO TRIES TO WALK OVER ITSELF. IT ALSO WILL HAVE DELAYS WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION. YOU BEGIN TO ACCELERATE BUT IT DOESNT GO THERES A DELAY AND THEN IT SHOOTS OUT LIKE A BULLET. I HAVE HAD MY DEALERSHIP CHECK IT OUT AND THEY SAY ITS FINE. OTHER YEARS AND MODELS THEY HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE OF COMPLAINTS BUT NOT MINE FOR WHATEVER REASON.

CVT ON THE NISSAN ROGUE HAS THE SAME ISSUE THAT THE 2003-2010 RECALLS HAVE. JUST GOT BACK FROM A VACATION THAT WAS DELAYED 2 HOURS DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND WE LOST ACCELERATION ON I75 IN FLORIDA. WE WERE ALMOST HIT BY TWO SEMI TRUCKS. THE RPMS JUST REG UP AND THE CAR LOSES POWER DECELERATION IS FAST AND DANGEROUS. THE ISSUE WITH THE CVT FROM NISSAN HAS BEEN FIXED AFTER 2010. I WANT TO GET THIS FIXED BY NISSAN ASAP AS OUR ROGUE HAS 97K MILES AND HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE 60K BUT THE 2012S AREN'T INCLUDED. MY LAWYER IS WORKING CLOSING ON THIS MATTER AS WELL. IT SEEMS LIKE NISSAN NEEDS PEOPLE TO ACTUALLY DIE BEFORE THEY TAKE ACTION.

THE HEAT SHIELD WAS LOOSE AND MAKING NOISE AFTER I BOUGHT THE TRUCK ON 0818/2015 AND I TOOK IT TO NISSAN AND HAD IT FIXED ON 07/12/16, I JUST HAD TO TAKE IT BACK ON 06/13/17 AND HAD THE SAME THING FIXED BUT THIS TIME I HAD TO PAY OUT OF MY POCKET, NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS AT ALL, I THINK THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH HEAT SHIELDS ON THIS VEHICLE .

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.

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WILL START SHUDDERING AND RPM'S WILL INCREASE BY 2000-3000 RPMS EVEN IF THERE IS NO ASSISTANCE WITH ACCELERATION (FOOT IS OFF GAS PEDAL). WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE CAR WILL THEN NO LONGER ACCELERATE, AND WILL START SLOWING DOWN, REGARDLESS IF YOU AT PRESSING THE GAS OR NOT. YOU BASICALLY LOSE ALL CONTROL OVER THE OPERATING SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 10 TIMES WITHIN THE PAST 3 MONTHS, ALL WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT POSTED SPEEDS, APPROX. 65 MPH FOR ANYWHERE BETWEEN 5 MIN TO AN HOUR + OF CONSTANT RATE OF SPEED.

IN THE LAST 30 DAYS I HAVE MADE THE EXACT SAME 5 HOUR ROUND TRIP DRIVE THREE TIMES. ON TWO OF THESE TRIPS, I EXPERIENCED SUDDEN LOSS OF ACCELERATION AFTER APPROXIMATELY 3-1/2 HOURS OF DRIVING (BOTH INSTANCES STARTED WITHIN 5 MILES OF THE OTHER). THOUGH BOTH OCCURRED WITHOUT ANY SIGN OF A MECHANICAL PROBLEM AND CONTINUED UNTIL CAR HAD BEEN STOPPED AND SHUT OFF FOR 30 MINUTES OR MORE, TODAY'S EVENT NEARLY CAUSED LOSS OF LIFE! WHEN TRYING TO MERGE ONTO I-95 FROM I-295 IN JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC I SUDDENLY COULD NOT ONLY ACCELERATE TO GET ON 95 AND MOVE OVER 2 LANES TO CLEAR THE EXIT ONLY AIRPORT LANE BUT CONTINUED TO SLOW DOWN IN MASSIVE HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC! DURING THIS TIME THE GAS PEDAL WAS FULLY DEPRESSED WITHOUT RESULT OTHER THAN RPM CHANGE TO ALMOST 3. NO CODES WERE DETECTED EITHER TIME. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW, HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND REGULARLY SERVICED. IT HAS 75,214 MILES ON IT. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IN THE 3 TRIPS I MADE WAS STOPPING FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES TO EAT BEFORE DRIVING BACK ON TRIP #2 AND HAD NO PROBLEMS AT ALL WITH ACCELERATION.
