2013 Nissan Rogue

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING 80 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AFTER DRIVING OVER FORTY MINUTES. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BILL RAY NISSAN (2724 US-17, LONGWOOD, FL 32750, (407) 831-1318) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 35050224. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WALT MASSEY NISSAN (LOCATED AT 600 WESTERN BYPASS, ANDALUSIA, AL 36420, (334) 731-4430) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS TOO MUCH TRANSMISSION FLUID IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION WAS DRAINED TO THE CORRECT LEVEL; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 123,000.

THE TRANSMISSION OR POWER TRAIN FAILS AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR A FEW HOURS AND LONG DISTANCES. MY NISSAN ROGUE FAILS TO PUSH AT NORMAL DESIRE SPEED AND THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN CROSSING INTERSECTIONS ON BUSY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE BECOMES SLUGGISH AND IT BECOMES A DANGER TO MYSELF AND TRAFFIC. I HAVE SPOKEN TO NISSAN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY DO NOT WANT TO HELP BECAUSE MY CAR HAS NO MORE WARRANTY AND IT HAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. I NOTICED PROBLEM SINCE THE FIRST DAY I BOUGHT IT AND I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP TOOK THE VEHICLE TO GET IT INSPECTED BUT THEY SAID THAT THEIR WAS NOT A PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR AGAIN AND I SPOKE TO NISSAN AND THEY SAID THAT BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS 62,000 MILES THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING SINCE THE WARRANTY IS ONLY GOOD FOR 60,000 MILES. THE CAR SEEMS NORMAL BUT IT GETS VERY SLUGGISH AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A FEW HOURS AND THAT IS DANGEROUS WHEN YOU CROSS TRAFFIC.

MY BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I FIRST NOTICED MY BRAKE NOT RESPONDING CORRECTLY TO THE NORMAL AMOUNT OF PRESSURE ON 1/15/19. I WOULD APPLY NORMAL PRESSURE AND HAVE NO RESPONSE, AND HAVE TO PRESS HARDER TO GET ANY KIND OF DECLINE IN SPEED. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SHOP AND THEY PUT ON BRAKES, ROTORS, AND FLUSHED THE BRAKE SYSTEM. A FEW WEEKS WENT BY AND THE BRAKES WERE OKAY, BUT STILL NOT NORMAL. ON 2/1/19 THE BRAKES WOULD COMPLETELY FAIL. I WOULD PRESS THE BRAKE AND THE BRAKE WOULD HIT THE FLOOR WITH NO BACKWARD PRESSURE ON MY FOOT AND NO SLOWING OF THE CAR. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SHOP ON 2/2/19 AND THEY FLUSHED MY BRAKES. I RAN A FEW ERRANDS AND RETURNED MY CAR THAT SAME DAY BECAUSE IT WAS STILL NOT STOPPING PROPERLY. THEY FLUSHED THE BRAKES AGAIN AND SUGGESTED I SEE A NISSAN SERVICE CENTER IF THAT DID NOT FIX IT. ON 2/4/19 I TOOK MY CAR TO A NISSAN SERVICE CENTER. THEY COULD NOT FIND THE ISSUE, BUT SUGGEST A BRAKE FLUSH. I DECLINED BECAUSE OF THE PRICE AND MY BRAKES HAD BEEN FLUSHED TWICE TWO DAYS PRIOR. BUT TO BE SAFE,I RETURNED IT TO THE ORIGINAL SHOP AND HAD THEM FLUSH MY BRAKES AGAIN. THE CAR WILL NOW STOP. HOWEVER, THE SAME AMOUNT OF PRESSURE MAY CAUSE A SUDDEN STOP OR A SMOOTH STOP. THE BRAKES ARE STILL NOT RESPONDING PROPERLY AND I AM AFRAID THEY WILL FAIL AGAIN. I CALLED THE NISSAN CUSTOMER AFFAIRS LINE AND THEY SAID TO HAVE A NISSAN SERVICE CENTER FLUSH THE BRAKES. A BRAKE FLUSH IS A BRAKE FLUSH AND IT IS NOT WORTH $118 TO HAVE A NISSAN SHOP FLUSH MY BRAKES FOR THE SAME OUTCOME. I LOOKED ONLINE TO SEE IF OTHER 2013 NISSAN ROGUE OWNERS HAD SUDDEN BRAKE FAILURE, AND THEY HAVE. I BELIEVE THIS IS WORTH LOOKING INTO. ACCIDENTS ARE HAPPENING BECAUSE OF SOMETHING WITH THIS ROGUE, NOT BECAUSE OF MY LACK OF MAINTAINING IT. THIS IS NISSAN'S FAILURE, NOT THE CONSUMER.
