I PURCHASED MY 2016 NISSAN ROGUE AT THE END OCT OF 2016. SO I'VE OWNED IT FOR 17 MONTHS AND IT HAS APPROX 24K MILES. UP UNTIL FEB 24TH, 2018, I HAD NO ISSUES SAVE FOR EXTRA RATTLE-Y DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW. ON THAT DATE IT WAS TAKEN IN FOR REGULAR MAINTENENCE (OIL/ROTATION/BALANCE). SINCE THAT TIME THE CAR IS NOT HANDLING WELL, AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A WINDY DAY OR IT WAS SLIPPERY ROAD DUE TO RAIN, BUT AS TIME WENT ON, THE CAR SEEMED WOBBLY/BOUNCY ON IT'S WHEELS (40+ MPH) AND WOULD BEGIN TO SLIP/SLIDE/SKIP OUT OF THE LANE (60+ MPH) I'M DRIVING IN. I AM ABLE TO CORRECT FOR IT BUT IT'S SCARY TO DRIVE AND FEELS LIKE IT'S GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT'S STRUGGLING TO GO UP SMALL HILL (30 MPH) AND WHEELS/TIRES DON'T SEEM TO BE GRIPPING THE ROAD EVENLY. I HAVE TAKEN BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE AGREED SOMETHING IS WRONG AND IT'S NOT A TIRE BALANCE OR ALIGNMENT TYPE OF ISSUE. THUS FAR I'VE ONLY BEEN TOLD IT'S NOT SAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE, POSSIBLY AXLE OR DRIVETRAIN ISSUE. AT THIS TIME THEY HAVE PROVIDED A SUBPAR LOANER AND ARE STATING THAT THE REPAIRS WILL BE UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER, I AM HUGELY CONCERNED THAT SOMETHING OF THIS MAGNITUDE IS ALREADY BECOME AN ISSUE. AT THIS POINT, I DON'T WAN'T THE CAR ANYMORE. ONCE THEY HAVE MADE REPAIRS, I AM FORTUNATE THAT I CAN PROBABLY AFFORD TO JUST TRADE IN AND GET A NEW (NOT NISSAN AGAIN EVER) CAR. BUT I FEEL CONCERNED IF SOMEONE ELSE WERE TO PURCHASE MY TRADE IN AS A USED CAR NOT KNOWING THE POTENTIAL HIDDEN SAFETY ISSUES THAT MAY (LIKELY) ARISE.

AS I WAS TRAVELLING ON A MAJOR FREEWAY, MY BRAND NEW 2016 NISSAN ROGUE BEGAN TO FEEL LIKE IT WAS "JUMPING." AT THAT POINT I NOTICED MY RPMS WERE HIGH FOR THE SPEED I WAS GOING. NOT EVEN 30 SECONDS AFTER, MY CAR COMPLETELY STALLED. I WAS IN THE FAST LANE OF THE FREEWAY AND BARELY HAD TIME TO REACT. I ENDED UP STUCK ON THE MEDIAN OF THE FREEWAY. I ENDED UP HAVING THE CAR TAKEN TO THE DEALER DOWN THE ROAD. THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I REFUSED TO DRIVE IT AND BEGAN SEEKING FURTHER HELP THROUGH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS. AFTER NEARLY A MONTH, AN ENGINEER FROM NISSAN TOOK 5 MINUTES TO LOOK AT IT AND NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. THE PREVIOUS WEEK BEFORE THIS MAJOR INCIDENT, THE CAR IS STALLED A FEW BLOCKS FROM MY HOME ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AFTER ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP. THE DEALERSHIP HAD TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AND IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. NOW HERE WE ARE 2 MONTHS LATER, AND IT FEELS AS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AGAIN.
