ONE INSTANCEWE WERE AT A RED LIGHT ON A STEEP INCLINE WHEN THE CAR LOST POWER. THE CAR STARTED TO ROLL BACK TOWARD THE CAR BEHIND AND WE NEARLY AVOIDED A COLLISION.

WE HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THE RECOMMENDEDMAINTENANCE SCHEDULE AND OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS FROM NISSAN BUT NOW AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS ENDEDTHEY INFORMED US WE NEED TO REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION.NISSAN HAS BEEN ACTING VERY UNETHICALLY AND ARE NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITYFOR THIS ISSUE THAT COULD BE FATAL TO OTHER DRIVERS.

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN EVEN THOUGH I WAS PRESSING ON THE GAS. THIS HAPPENED A LITTLE OVER AN HOUR INTO DRIVING. I PULLED OFF AND AFTER A LITTLE WHILE STARTED DRIVING AGAIN AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. ON A SECOND OCCASION AFTER DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR A LITTLE OVER AN HOUR AGAIN I PULLED OFF TO GET GAS AND STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PRESS MY FOOT ON THE GAS AND THE CAR DID NOT MOVE. PICKED MY FOOT UP AND PRESS DOWN AGAIN WITH NO MOVEMENT AT FIRST BUT THEN THE CAR STARTED ROLLING VERY VERY SLOWLY. IT FINALLY PICKED UP ENOUGH SPEED TO GET ME OUT OF THE INTERSECTION AND TO THE GAS STATION. MY DESTIINATION WAS ABOUT 45 MINUTES AWAY AND I DID MAKE IT THERE WITHOUT ANY OTHER INCIDENTS. MY HUSBAND WAS ALSO DRIVING THE CAR ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE THIS AND AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN, HE PRESSED ON THE GAS BUT THE CAR DID NOT MOVE AT FIRST. MOVED VERY SLOWLY INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND LUCKILY HE WAS ABLE TO BACK IT UP BEFORE BEING HIT. WHEN THIS OCCURS, NO WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. WE JUST HAVE TOTAL LOSS OF ACCELERATION.
THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, WHEN I TRIED TO START IT THE KEY WOULD NOT TURN IN THE IGNITION. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS NOT LOCKED.
2013 NISSAN ROGUE TROUBLE LIGHT COMES ON WITH A CODE B1018 & B1022 WITCH IS PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR. OTHER MODELS OF THE SAME YEAR ARE BEING RECALLED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM.
