2013 Nissan Rogue

ON INTERSTATE I 75, CAR SUDDENLY ACTED LIKE NOT GETTING GAS. SLOWED DOWN BUT WAS STILL GOING. I GOT OFF AND WENT TO AN ADJACENT FORD DEALERSHIP. THE PUT A COMPUTER ON IT AND SAID IT WAS A TORQUE CONVERTER PROBLEM. ADVISED TO DRIVE TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP. WHICH I WAS ABLE TO DO. THEY PUT COMPUTER ON IT AND SAID FORD DIAGNOSIS WAS CORRECT BUT ALSO A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. REF 15-084A. THE DEALERSHIP DID MOT MENTION THAT THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A COVERED REPAIR. CHARGES WOULD BE 3600. +.

BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND HEARD A LOUD NOISE FROM REAR OF VEHICLE PULL BACKING AND NOTICED FLUID ON THE PAVEMENT. UPON INSPECTION OF FLUID LEAKAGE NOTICED THAT THE DIFFERENTIAL HOUSING WAS CRACKED OPEN AND THAT WAS THE PROBLEM WITH THE NOISE AND LEAK. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER AND REAR DIFFERENTIAL HADTO BE REPLACED ATA COST OF $2117.12. CONTACTED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THEY STATED IF THERE WAS EVER A RECALL THAT I WOULD BE REIMBURSED IF THERE WAS A RECALL IN THE FUTURE

DRIVING FROM YUMA TO SAN DIEGO DOING 70 TO 80 MILES PER HOUR UNTIL I HIT THE HILLS. I REDUCED MY SPEED TO 65 AND SET MY CRUISE CONTROL. NEVER HAD A/C ON IT WAS STILL COOL, BEFORE NOON. HALF-WAY THROUGH THE HILLS I LOST ACCELERATION AND CRUISE CONTROL SHUT-OFF. REST OF THE WAY THROUGH THE HILLS WAS IN THE SLOW LANE/EMERGENCY LANE GOING 25 TO 30 MILES PER HOUR. FINALLY MADE IT THROUGH THE HILLS BUT BY THE TIME I WAS ABLE TO EXIT I8 I WAS GOING 20 THEN 15 THEN 10 MILES PER HOUR. AFTER AN HOUR OF LETTING THE CAR SIT I STARTED AGAIN PUT IN IN REVERSE AND THAT'S AS FAR AS I GOT. I HAD NO POWER AT ALL IN "D" OR "L", HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED 51 MILES. OBVIOUSLY NISSAN HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ROGUE MODEL AFTER READING OTHER COMPLAINTS ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM.

I WAS DRIVING ON IH10, IN HOUSTON AT 60-65MPH, 6 LANES. HAD DRIVEN 10-15 MILE, CAR STARTED TREMBLING AT STEERRING, DID NOT FEEL IN CONTROL OF STAYING IN MY LANE. EASED ACCELERATOR, TRIED AGAIN, FELT SAME SHIMMY, UNSAFE. EASIED TO 1ST EXIT, ASAP. 1ST AUTO SHOP ON CAMPBELL RD. DROVE IT, FELT IT WAS AXLE PROBLEM, BUT COULDNT GET IT ON LIFT TIL MONDAY. 2ND REPAIR -SILBER AUTO SERVICE DIAGNOSED SAME, GOT ON LIFT WITHIN HOUR. REPLACED NEXT 2 DAYS. I LEFT , GOT RENTAL, BACK HOME TO NB, TX. TUESDAY SHOP SAID IT DID NOT CORRECT PROBLEM. HAD IT TOWED HOME BY FAMILY THURSDAY, NB NISSAN INSPECTED FRIDAY. 29,000 MILES ON AUTO, OUT OF 5YR WARRANTY. 'CANNOT DUPLICATE CONCERN" I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING NISSAN AT THIS TIME. I HAD GONE TO BE WITH 93YR DAD HEIGHTS HOSPITAL W FRACTURED LT HIP, STAYED 2 NITES IN HOSPITAL, STARTED HOME TO WORK 2 WEEKEND SHIFTS AS PEDI HH NURSE ON GOOD FRIDAY. I WAS PREPARED TO KEEP AUTO FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER 4-5 YR, AS I AM IN LATE 60'S. VERY DISAPPOINTED W NISSAN, THIS MY 2ND NISSAN. HAVEE READ OTHER PEOPLE WITH SAME CONCERNS WITH SAME TYPE VEHICLE. WAS HOPING THEY WOULD CORRECT THE UNSAFE " CONCERN". WILL NOT TRADE INTO NISSAN, BUT MUST TAKE CARE OF MY OWN LIFE/SAFETY. HAVE TAKEN GOOD CARE OF NISSAN WITH OIL CHANGES, TIRE ROTATION, NEW BATTERY, X2 NEW TIRES OUT OF UNREPAIRABLE FLAT, TORN WINDSHIELD RUBBER MOLDING, FLAPPING UNCALLED FOR ON HIGHWAY ON PREVIOUS TRIP TO HOUSTON. SAME NB NISSAN REPAIRED ON MY RETURN. I HAD 22,000 MILES THEN, LAST YEAR. NISSAN USA WAS UNHELPFUL, UNSYNPATHETIC, I FEEL ITS JUST $$ & BUSINESS AS USUAL FOR AUTO INDUSTRY. THATS WHAT THEY DO, PITIFUL.

FOUR TIMES NOW THE VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCE A LOSS OF POWER WHEN IN DRIVE. IN ALL FOUR INSTANCES THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE STOPPED, PUT IN PARK AND THEN WAS ABLE TO PROCEED. ALL FOUR INSTANCES OCCURRED AS THE VEHICLE WAS PULL AWAY FROM A STOP. IN ONE INSTANCE AN ACCIDENT WAS ONLY AVOIDED DUE TO THE DRIVERS IN CROSS TRAFFIC PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION. THE LAST INCIDENT OF ON 3/29/18. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN AT THE REPAIR SHOP AND THE DEALER SERVICE AREA IS SAYING THEY CAN NOT EVEN FIND A TSB ON THE ISSUE.

LOSS OF ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. TRANSMISSION WILL GO INTO FAIL SAFE MODE AFTER APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES OF DRIVING REGARDLESS OF WEATHER, OR TOWN OR HWY DRIVING. IT HAS LEFT ME WITH BE ABLE TO GO 40 MPH OR LESS ON THE HIGHWAY. WILL NOT ACCELERATE AFTER STOPPING AND WHEN IT DOES THE RMPS WILL BE UP NEAR 4000 JUST TO GO 10-15 MPH. ON 3/31/2018 I HAD TO BE ESCORTED OFF THE HWY BY CHP BECAUSE I COULDN'T KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME IS HAS HAPPEN. IT OCCURS JUST ABOUT EVERYDAY. I HAVE CHECKED ALL MY FLUIDS THERE ARE NO LIGHTS ON MY DASH.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED WITH JUST OVER 49,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD IT FOR LESS THAN A MONTH. I DISCOVERED THAT THE RIGHT REAR BRAKE LINE HAS BEEN RUN INCORRECTLY DURING ASSEMBLY. THE MOUNTING PLATE AND BOLT, WHERE IT IS SUPPOSED TO ATTACH ARE BOTH PRESENT. THE BRAKE LINE WAS RUN UNDER A FRAME BOLT INSTEAD OF ABOVE THE BOLT. THE BRAKE LINE IS RUBBING ON THE BOLT FRAME. THE CHAFFING HAS RUBBED THROUGH THE OUTER RUBBER COATING. THE WEBSITE IS NOT ALLOWING ME TO UPLOAD VIDEO OR PHOTOS. PLEASE CONTACT ME AND I CAN EMAIL THE VIDEO AND PHOTOS.

SEVERAL TIMES THIS VEHICLE WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY FOR ALONG PERIOD OF TIME WAS LOSE POWER AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON.MOST OF THE TIME THIS WOULD HAPPEN WHEN I WAS FAR FROM A EXIT OR REST AREA.AT FIRST I COULD SHUT VEHICLE OFF THEN BACK ON AND IT WOULD CLEAR ITSELF.MY DAD CHECKED FOR CODES AND FOUND A CODE FOR TRANSMISSION(PO744)-WE CONTACTED A NISSAN DEALER TO ASK THEM TO LOOK AT VEHICLE BUT THEY SAID IT WOULD HAVE TO BE IN "BROKE MODE " TO DIAGNOSIS.I HAD TRAVELED SEVERAL DIFFERENT TIMES BUT EACH TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS NOT CLOSE TO ANY DEALER.MY DAD GAVE ME IS SCAN TOOL TO TRAVEL WITH SO IF I GOT STUCK,I COULD CLEAR THE CODE SO I COULD MAKE IT HOME.FINALLY ON MARCH 15TH AS I WAS COMING BACK FROM A TRIP,THE CAR ACTED UP AND I WAS ABLE TO GET VEHICLE TO COUNTRY CLUB NISSAN IN ONEONTA NEW YORK.THEY DROVE THE VEHICLE AND WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE.SO I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE FOR DIAGNOSIS ON MARCH 21ST.THEY FOUND THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED.NOW ON RESEARCH WE HAVE FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION .NISSAN HAS EXTENDED WARRANTY ON OLDER VEHICLES FOR THIS ISSUE ON SOME VEHICLES.ALSO THEY HAVE A TSB OUT FOR MY EXACT ISSUE(TSB#NTB16-090) I CONTACTED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE.THEY GAVE ME A CASE#30284691.AFTER FIVE DAYS THEY GOT BACK TO ME AND ADVISED ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER THIS REPAIR.THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AS THEY KNOW ITS A ON GOING ISSUE WITH THIS TRANSMISSION AND I KNOW THIS BY RESEARCH(ALL OVER THE INTERNET) .THE EXTENSION ON SOME MODELS WAS 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES.ALSO THE TSB ALSO PROVES THAT THEY KNOW OF THIS PROBLEM.THIS VEHICLE IS MY LIFE LINE.I STILL OWE ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THREE YEARS AND ITS NO GOOD TO ME WITH THIS PROBLEM.THE REPAIRS ARE BEYOND MY BUDGET.WE HAVE HAD BAD WEATHER HERE IN UPSTATE NEW YORK AND THIS VEHICLE HAS LEFT ME ASIDE THE ROAD.MY DAD HAD TO COME AND GET ME TWO HOURS FROM HOME WHEN IT BROKE DOWN.

MY NISSAN ROGUE WILL SUDDENLY LOSE THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP, WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING, ETC. IT HAS HAPPENED ON HILLS AND FLAT SURFACES. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, AS IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED MID TURN AND ON TRAIN TRACKS. I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE, AND THE DEALER STATED THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WHEN THERE CLEARLY IS. MY OWN RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NISSANS, AND IS AN ISSUE WITH THE CVT. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO CORPORATE AND THE DEALER I TOOK IT INTO.

LIFT GATE RUSTED AROUND THE EMBLEMS AND TAIL LIGHTS WITHIN ONE YEAR - THEY REPLACED IT. LESS THAN 8 MONTHS LATER IT STARTED RUSTING AGAIN - THEY REPLACED IT. IS NOW RUSTING AGAIN AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. BLOWS HEAT THROUGH THE VENTS WHEN ALL CONTROLS ARE OFF AND TEMPERATURE IS SET TO THE COOLEST SETTING. LATEST ISSUE IS I WAS DRIVING MY KIDS HOME AT NIGHT AND WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP LIGHT THE VEHICLE ONLY MOVED SLOWLY AT THE RPM WENT ABOVE 4,000 ALMOST CAUSING ME TO GET REAR ENDED. EVENTUALLY I COULD GET TO 50 MPH BUT ANYTHING OVER THAT AND THE RPM'S WOULD RACE OVER 4,000. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AM BEING TOLD THE TRANSMISSION IS SHOT AND IT WILL COST $3,500 AND I ONLY HAVE 95,000 MILES ON IT!
