2014 Nissan Rogue

TRANSMISSION COOLER WAS REPLACED THE WEEK 6/05/2017 BY CARRIAGE NISSAN OF GAINESVILLE, GA AND ON 6/16/2017 THE NISSAN ROGUE WAS LOSING POWER ON THE DRIVE BACK FROM ATLANTA(APPROX.. 3 HOUR DRIVE). ROGUE WAS TAKEN TO FENTON NISSAN IN KNOXVILLE, TN AND NISSAN AGREED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION BUT WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE TRANSMISSION COOLER. ROGUE WAS PICKED UP FROM FENTON NISSAN ON 7/3/2017 AND ON 7/5/2017 THE ROGUE LOST POWER AND THE TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING AND MY WIFE WAS STRANDED 40 MILES FROM HOME. ROGUE WAS TOWED TO FENTON NISSAN AND UPON INVESTIGATION FOUND THAT AN UNAUTHORIZED PART WAS USED IN THE TRANSMISSION COOLER BY CARRIAGE NISSAN AND ALL THE TRANSMISSION FLUID HAD LEAKED OUT. A NEW TRANSMISSION COOLER WAS INSTALLED FREE OF CHARGE.(WE PAID $680 FOR THE FIRST DEFECTIVE COOLER) DURING THE TIME THAT THE ROGUE WAS AT FENTON NISSAN COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS TEST WAS PERFORMED PRIOR TO RELEASING THE ROGUE TO US AND NO CODES SHOWED UP. LESS THAN A WEEK LATER THE ROGUE STARTING ACTING UP AND ONCE AGAIN TOOK IT BACK TO FENTON NISSAN AND WAS INFORMED IT WOULD COST $3000+ TO REPLACE THE ELECTRICAL HARNESS, NISSAN HAS AGREED TO PAY 50% OF THE COST. I FEEL THAT UNAUTHORIZED PART CAUSED UNDUE STRESS NOT ONLY ON THE TRANSMISSION COOLER, TRANSMISSION, AND ENGINE BUT ALSO THE ELECTRICAL HARNESS AS A RESULT OF ALL THE POWER SURGES. THERE HAVE BEEN OVER 468,000 RECALLS FOR NISSAN FOR ELECTRICAL HARNESS FAILURE FROM 2008-2013 AND ALSO SOME 2014 NISSAN ROGUES. MY ROGUE VIN NUMBER DOESN'T SHOW UP ON THE RECALL LIST BUT IT SAFE TO ASSUME THAT SINCE THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FROM 2008-2013 AND SOME OF 2014 THEN WHY COULDN'T EFFECT MY VEHICLE.

THE AC SYSTEM HAS NEVER WORKED PROPERLY. THE CONTROLS CHANGE FROM ONE SETTING TO ANOTHER WITHOUT YOU PROMPTING CHANGE. IT BLOWS HOT AIR WHEN ON COOL.. THIS HAPPENS REGARDLESS IF YOU ARE SITTING STILL OR TRAVELING AT ANY SPEED. THE CONDENSER WAS REPLACED AND THEN THE DEALER REPLACED THE "O-RINGS" AFTER THAT AND ADDED FREON. .. ONLY WORKED FOR A WEEK BEFORE THE AIR QUIT WORKING AGAIN. I BUY A NEW CAR EVERY 2 YEARS AND AFTER THE PROBLEMS I'VE HAD WITH THE AC AND LACK OF SERVICE FROM THE NISSAN DEALERSHIPS , THIS WILL DEFINITELY KEEP ME FROM PURCHASING ANOTHER NISSAN. THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT WITH THIS YEAR/MAKE/MODEL VEHICLE AND NISSAN DOESN'T WANT TO TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR IT.

AS SEVERAL HAVE STATED, 50-70 MPH, THE ENGINE WILL REV, BUT THEN DECELERATE WITH THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE. NOT AT ALL. NEXT THING YOU KNOW, YOU ARE DOING 25 MPH. VERY DANGEROUS AND WORRISOME. LET'S HOPE NOTHING EVER HAPPENS TO ANY MEMBERS OF MY FAMILY WHILE THIS CONDITION PRESENTS ITSELF. NISSAN NEEDS TO STEP UP AND BE ACCOUNTABLE. IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. THE TERRAIN WAS A GRADE GOING UPHILL, TEMPERATURE AROUND 92 IN TEXAS.

WHEN DRIVING MY ROGUE FOR ANY PERIOD OF TIME OVER 40 MINUTES ON THE EXPRESSWAY THE VEHICLES STARTS TO DECELERATE EVEN WHEN THE GAS PEDAL TO PUSHED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. THIS SEEMS TO BE WORSE IN THE SUMMER MONTHS WHEN IT IS WARMER OUTSIDE. THE CAR NEEDS TO BE SHUT OFF FOR A PERIOD OF TIME BEFORE IT WILL BEGIN TO ACCELERATE AND MAINTAIN THE SPEED ON THE EXPRESSWAY. I HAVE EVEN TURNED ON THE CRUISE CONTROL AND THE VEHICLE WILL EVEN DECELERATE WHEN THE SPEED IS SET ON CRUISE CONTROL. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING ESPECIALLY SINCE I LIVE IN FL AND TO HAVE TO PULL OVER EVERY 40 MINUTES WHEN DRIVING LONGER DISTANCES AND SIT IN YOUR HOT CAR ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS STARTED BACK IN 2015 AND HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I HAVE TO DRIVE OVER 40 MINUTES ON THE EXPRESSWAY.

THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG REMAINS OFF (SENSOR LIGHT IS ON) WHEN AN ADULT PASSENGER IS IN THE SEAT. THIS BEGINS WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED IN PARK AND CAN REMAIN ON EVEN DRIVING WITH HIGH SPEED (40 OR 50 MPH). THIS OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES THE AIRBAG WILL TURN ON (SENSOR LIGHT TURNS OFF) AFTER A LENGTH OF TIME. OTHER TIMES, THE CAR WILL NEED TO BE RESTARTED. IT IS MOST REPRODUCIBLE WHEN THE CAR IS ALREADY ON AND THEN THE PASSENGER SITS. A VIDEO OF THE PROBLEM IS AVAILABLE HERE: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=JF-EATBAZHK THE OWNER COULD NOT UPLOAD FILE TYPE ON WEBSITE, BUT INCLUDED A LINK HERE INSTEAD. AS NOTED BELOW, THE OWNER FIRST OBSERVED THE PROBLEM IN DECEMBER 2014. THE RECALL REPAIR WAS COMPLETED IN JULY 2016. THE OWNER HAS REPRODUCED THE PROBLEM AT A DEALERSHIP IN JULY 2017. TO DATE, THE OWNER HAS HAD TO BRING THIS PROBLEM TO NISSAN A TOTAL OF SIX TIMES. DOCUMENTED HISTORY OF PROBLEM: THE OWNER HAS BROUGHT THIS PROBLEM TO THE ATTENTION OF GURLEY LEEP NISSAN IN MISHAWAKA, IN ON THE FOLLOWING DATES (DATES CORRESPOND TO THE INVOICE DATE): 12/15/14 ' OWNER OBSERVED PROBLEM AND REQUESTED A CHECK OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. GURLEY LEEP NISSAN PERFORMED ZERO POINT RESENT FUNCTION. 11/14/15 - OWNER OBSERVED PROBLEM AND REQUESTED A CHECK OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. GURLEY LEEP NISSAN MADE NO REPAIRS 7/7/16 - GURLEY LEEP NISSAN COMPLETED PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG RECALL REPAIR. 5/15/17 - OWNER OBSERVED PROBLEM AND REQUESTED A CHECK OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG.

SHE DID THIS WITH TECHNICIAN IN THE CAR.

WHILE UP AND DOWN HILLS, THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH ACCELERATION. MY RPM'S WILL SHOOT UP VERY HIGH, BUT CAN NOT ACCELERATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 3 TIMES NOW, AND ONE TIME WAS VERY DANGEROUS. I WAS COMING OFF THE INTERSTATE (DOWNHILL) AND WENT TO CROSS ONTO THE HIGHWAY, I WAS THEN ALMOST HIT (WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR) BECAUSE MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I MADE IT ACROSS, TURNED MY CAR OFF THEN ON AND IT SEEMED FINE AFTER THAT. IN A SITUATION WHERE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN PLENTY OF TIME TO CROSS, I WAS ALMOST HIT. THAT WAS ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO, BUT JUST THIS MORNING I WAS GOING UP A VERY SMALL HILL (INTERSTATE RAMPS ARE STEEPER THAN THE ONE THIS HAPPENED ON), MY SUV JUST WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. AGAIN, I HAD TO PULL OVER AND TURN MY SUV OFF AND THEN BACK ON FOR IT TO WORK AGAIN.

2014 ROGUE WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WE LOST ALL POWER IN AN INSTANT. THIS IS NOT SAFE WITHOUT WARNING.IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS, THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS BY NISSAN FOR THIS PROBLEM ON EARLIER MODELS, BUT THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE 2014 MODELS AS WELL.AS OTHERS HAVE MENTIONED, THESE TRANSMISSIONS ARE A KNOWN ISSUE IN NISSANS AND IN MOST CASES, YOU WILL NOT HAVE AN ISSUE UNTIL YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR WARRANTY. NISSAN HAS ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY (110,000 MILES) ON ALL MODELS THROUGH 2010, BUT NOTHING ON THE 2014 ROGUE. MY CAR WAS AT 93,000 AND 2 YEARS OLD, SO NOW I AM STUCK FOR CLOSE TO $4500 TO GET IT REPAIRED.

IN JANUARY 16, 2016 WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. IT DID NOT RESTART FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE HALF HOUR. WE CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO REPORT THE ISSUE AND REQUESTED A DIAGNOSTIC BUT WAS TURNED AWAY STATING IT WAS A "FLUKE" AND TO MONITOR THE ISSUE TO SEE IF IT OCCURS AGAIN. IN JUNE OF 2016 WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS ISSUE AND BROUGHT IT IN FOR A FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT ON JUNE 7, 2016. MARCH 15, 2017 WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH THE SAME EVENT OCCURRED, THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. ON APRIL 03, 2017, WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. WE WERE TOLD AGAIN THAT THE TESTS DID NOT INDICATE ANY ISSUES. LAST EVENING AT 8:10 PM, 4/17/2017, FOR THE THIRD TIME THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. THIS TIME AT A T INTERSECTION WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN. THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. *TT *CN
