AFTER CRUISING THE CAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (70MPH) FOR AROUND AN HOUR THE CAR BEGINS TO SLOW DOWN ON IT OWN AND EVEN FLOORING THE GAS PEDAL WON'T INCREASE THE SPEED, IT WILL JUST REV AT HIGH RPM AND START SLOWING DOWN. THE CAN BARELY SPEED UP TO 30MPH AFTER THAT AFTER CONTINUING TO FLOORING THE GAS PEDAL AND REVVING THE CAR AT IT'S HIGHEST RPM. THERE ARE NO ENGINE LIGHTS. THE CAR HAS TO BE TURNED OFF FOR 10-15MINS BUT SOMETIMES EVEN THAT DOES NOT HELP. WHEN TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP THEY OFFER TO PUT A NEW TRANSMISSION WHICH COST AROUND $4000. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE FOR ALL ROGUE CARS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT THE SPEED LIMIT OF 70 MPH. I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL SET AND WAS COMING UP TO A SMALL HILL. THE CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AS NORMAL TO GET UP THE HILL. AS SOON AS I BEGAN TO DESCEND THE HILL, THE CAR WAS STILL TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND THE RPMS STARTED TO GET UP TO THE 6000S. I IMMEDIATELY TURN OF CRUISE CONTROL AND LET THE RPMS GO BACK DOWN BEFORE TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO STAY GOING TO SPEED LIMIT. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND THE RPMS WOULD GO UP QUICKLY WITH BARELY ANY TOUCH TO THE GAS PEDAL, SO I PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR GAVE ME NO WARNING WHAT SO EVER AND LEFT ME IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. WHILE TRYING TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY AT A SAFE SPEED WITH 18-WHEELER TRUCKS HAVING TO SLOW DOWN AND GO AROUND ME CAUSING OTHER CARS TO SLAM ON THEIR BREAKS TO AVOID REAR-ENDING THE TRUCKS.

WE LAST USED THE CAR AT 2:30PM AND PARKED IT IN OUR DRIVEWAY. IT WAS STATIONARY AND UNUSED FOR ABOUT 4.5 HOURS. AT ABOUT 7PM WE HEARD THE HORN GO OFF. IT WAS A STEADY BLOWING OF THE HORN. I OPENED THE FRONT DOOR, REALIZED IT WAS OUR CAR, AND GRABBED MY KEYS TO START THE CAR TO SEE IF THAT WOULD MAKE THE HORN STOP. WHEN I OPENED THE DRIVERS DOOR OF THE CAR I SAW THE ORANGE FLAMES AND THICK BLACK SMOKE. I RAN INTO THE HOUSE, HAD MY WIFE CALL 911 AND I GRABBED THE HOUSE FIRE EXTINGUISHER. THE FIRE STARTED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE CAR EITHER RIGHT BELOW THE STEERING WHEEL OR ON THE LEFT SIDEWALL WHERE THE DRIVER'S LEFT LEG WOULD REST. I DID MY BEST PUTTING OUT THE FLAMES FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE BUT HAD TO GO TO THE RIDERS SIDE TO PUT OUT THE LEFT PANEL BY THE DRIVERS LEGS. THE FIRE WAS PROBABLY 95% PUT OUT WHEN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND POLICE DEPARTMENT SHOWED. BECAUSE THE FRONT HOOD RELEASE LATCH WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED BY THE FIRE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD TO FORCE THE HOOD OPEN TO CHECK FOR FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ALSO REMOVED PARTS OF DASHBOARD THAT WERE BURNT TO CHECK BEHIND TO MAKE SURE THE FIRE WAS OUT. IT WAS TOWED AWAY ABOUT AN HOUR LATER. THE CAR WAS "TOTALED" A WEEK LATER BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY.*DT*JB
