2013 Nissan Rogue

VEHICLE HAS 87000 MILES ON IT AND FOR THE LAST YEAR (SINCE 67000) IT WILL RANDOMLY LOOSE POWER, OFTEN ON THE HIGHWAY CAUSING A DANGEROUS SITUATION. WE HAVE BEEN STRANDED TWICE 4+ HOURS FROM HOME ON THE WEEKEND. THIS WAS AN OFFICIAL RECALL FROM NISSAN ON PRIOR YEAR ROGUES. WHY IS THIS DANGEROUS AND EXPENSIVE FIX NOT BEING COVERED NOW?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION EVEN WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND HAD IT TOWED TO HIS RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO THE DEALER (NISSAN OF SILSBEE, 3490 HIGHWAY 96 BYPASS, SILSBEE, TEXAS 77656) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE CAUSED BY METAL SHAVINGS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

I PURCHASED MY CAR IN 2016 WHICH WAS PREVIOUSLY A LEASE. WHEN I GOT THE CAR I NOTICED A WHIRRING SOUND AS I APPLIED THE GAS AND A LOW PULL AS IT COASTED DOWNHILL. SEVERAL DIFFERENT PEOPLE I ASKED ABOUT THIS STATED IT WAS NORMAL. I'VE NEVER DRIVEN OR OWNED A NISSAN BEFORE AND I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS THE WAY THE CAR DRIVES. A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, AFTER DRIVING TO GET MY SON FROM COLLEGE, THE CAR BARELY WENT ABOVE 60 MPH AS I PRESSED THE GAS. I PULLED OVER, THOUGHT IT WAS TOO HOT OR MAYBE A BAD BATTERY (HAD IT TESTED, STILL GOOD) OR MAYBE THE FUEL INJECTOR. I STOPPED AND GOT SOME FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER AND LET MY CAR REST FOR A BIT BEFORE HEADING 2 HOURS BACK HOME. IT NEVER HAPPENED AGAIN UNTIL THIS PAST FRIDAY. HAD THE CODES READ WHEN IT BECAME SLUGGISH AND WAS GIVEN P1778 CODE. ULTIMATELY, MYSELF, MY DAUGHTER AND MY 2 FOSTER DAUGHTERS GOT STUCK IN TRAFFIC B/C MY CAR BARELY MOVED AT ALL DURING STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. I HAD IT TOWED AND WHEN THE MECHANIC CHECKED IT THAT MONDAY MORNING HE CONFIRMED THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS BAD AND TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER, THAT NISSAN HAS HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS W/ IT AND IT SHOULD BE UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, WHICH REPAIRS MAY OTHERWISE RUN B/W $3000.00-$4000.00. UPON MY RESEARCH, CONTACT W/ NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THE DEALER I'VE COME TO UNDERSTAND THAT MY YEAR (2013 NISSAN ROGUE) IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A BURDEN AND DANGER TO CONSUMERS THAT NISSAN HAS BEEN AWARE OF AT LEAST SINCE 2003 YET HAS NOT BEEN VIGILANT ENOUGH TO FIX. I ALSO SEE WHERE THERE HAVE BEEN AND CURRENTLY ARE CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS AGAINST NISSAN REGARDING THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS. I HAVE NO ALTERNATIVE MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. PLEASE HELP!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS FOR OVER AN HOUR, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND STALLED. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HOFFMAN NISSAN (46 ALBANY TURNPIKE, CANTON, CT 06019, (860) 651-3256) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION OIL WAS NOT COOLING. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND AN AIR COOLER NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER OPENED CASE NUMBER: 31451265 AND OFFERED TO COVER FIFTY PERCENT OF THE REPAIR COST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I DID NOT GET ANY INDICATIONS FROM MY CAR THAT I WAS LOOSING POWER ON THE INTERSTATE. I PUSH THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING. I WAS DRIVING FOR OVER AN HOUR AND THAT IS WHEN IT HAPPENS. UNFORTUNATELY THIS HAS HAPPEN MORE THAN ONCE. AT TIMES IT START TO SLOWS DOWN. ONE TIME WHEN I GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE AND STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND IT ALMOST DIED AT THE INTERSECTION. NOW I SEE IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM I WOULD LIKE NISSAN TO FIX THIS BECAUSE THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM FOR ME OR ANYONE DRIVING THIS. I ALMOST GOT HIT MY A TRUNK, AND A CAR ON THE INTERSTATE I DON'T TRUST THIS CAR ANYMORE. I WOULD LIKE THEM TO FIX IT RIGHT...

CAR LOST POWER AS WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY, GOING FROM 70 TO 40 MPH IN NO TIME. STARTED TO SMOKE. JUST HAD OIL CHANGED AND ALL FLUIDS CHECKED WITHOUT ANY ISSUES. AFTER WE WERE TOWED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND WAITING WE DECIDED TO TRY THE CAR AGAIN TO SEE IF IT WAS WORKING. CAR WENT FINE THE REST OF THE WAY. COMING BACK HOME ABOUT 300 MILES, CAR DROVE OK, BUT IT FELT LIKE THERE WAS SOMETHING OFF. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION AS WELL AS A TRANSMISSION COOLER KIT. TOTAL WOULD BE $5200. CAR ONLY HAS 67000 MILES, PAID IN FULL AT TIME OF PURCHASE, WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 60000 MILES. CONTACTED NISSAN, I WAS TOLD OTHER YEARS HAD EXTENDED WARRANTY ON TRANSMISSION BUT NOT MY YEAR. ALSO FOUND OUT THAT THERE'S BEEN RECALLS ON OTHER YEARS REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION BUT NOT 2013. I SEE THERE ARE MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THIS ISSUE. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR AND I REALLY THINK NISSAN SHOULD MAKE RESTITUTION ON THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED THEM AND WAITING FOR REGIONAL DEPARTMENT TO CONTACT ME TODAY.
