MY VEHICLE WILL LOSE POWER OUT OF NOWHERE WHEN I'M DRIVING CAUSING ME TO NOT BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE ABOVE 40MPH AT 4-5 RPM, THE GAS PEDDLE DOES NOT WORK YOU CAN FEEL THE PULL ON THE CAR THERE IS NO POWER. I NEED TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS TO NOT BLOW MY TRANSMISSION BUT THEN I DROP TO ABOUT 20MPH AND ON HIGHWAYS OR EVEN SIDE ROADS THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE. BECAUSE THIS ONLY HAPPENS HERE AND THERE (3 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH) AND NEVER PREDICTABLY, THE DEALERSHIP IS SAYING THEY CANNOT FIX OR DO ANYTHING TO THE CAR WITHOUT THE ISSUE HAPPENING THERE UNDER THEIR SUPERVISION. AS I STATED, THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND WELL DOCUMENTED FROM CURRENT AND PREVIOUS NISSAN OWNERS AND EVERYONE'S DESCRIPTION OF THE INCIDENTS ARE IDENTICAL. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AND THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED ON ALL VEHICLES BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. WHEN MY I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IT STATES THAT MY BATTERY WAS BAD THEN RECOMMEND ME TO CHANGE THE POSITIVE TERMINAL SO I SAY I HAVE BOUGHT THE BATTERY FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY SO THEY REPLACE THE BATTERY THEN I AGREE TO CHANGE THE POSITIVE TERMINAL SINCE IT WAS UNDER $100. AFTER CHANGE BOTH TAKE IT BACK AND DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY AND IT HAPPENS AGAIN AND I WAS ABLE TO START MY CAR UP AND TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY THE FUSE WAS LOOSED SO THEY RELEASE THE CAR TO ME AND IT HAS STALLED AT NIGHT MY MY CHILDREN IN IT AND I HAVE TO GET HELP AND PUSH MY CAR IN KROGER PARKING LOT AND PLAN TO TOW TO THE DEALERSHIP IN THE MORNING. THE NEXT MORNING IT STARTS UP SO I DRIVE TO MY FRIEND HOUSE TO PARK IT THERE AND WAIT UNTIL MONDAY TO TAKE IT BACK, THEY THEN THIS TIME WANT ME TO CHANGE THE CHAISSY CONTROL AND I HAVE TOLD THEM THAT IS NOT THE PROBLEM. I HAD ENOUGH WITH THEM SO DECIDE TO CALL CORPORATE TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND NOW MY CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR OVER TWO WEEKS. ECM CHANGE BUT CODE STILL

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF LIGHT TURNS ON WHEN PASSENGER IS SEATED AND THE LIGHT TURNS OFF WHEN SEAT IS EMPTY. THIS SEEMS LIKE A VERY BIG SAFETY ISSUE SINCE THE AIRBAG WILL NOT GO ACTIVATE WHEN SOMEONE IS SEATED.

I PURCHASED A 2016 ROGUE SV (VIN [XXX], I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE I BROUGHT IT HOME. I HAD THE HEAD UNIT REPLACE NO LESS THAN 4 SEPARATE TIMES BECAUSE IT WOULD STOP WORKING AND GO BLACK. THE CAR HAD LESS THAN 10,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS TOLD IT WAS BEING REPLACED WITH A "BRAND NEW UNIT". THE DEALERSHIP FORGOT TO TRANSFER MY XM SUBSCRIPTION TO THE NEW UNIT, SO WHEN I CALLED TO ACTIVATE I FIND OUT NOT ONLY IS IT NOT NEW, ITS 4 YEARS OLDER THAN THE CAR I OWN. WHILE REPLACING THIS THE TECHNICIANS DESTROYED THE SURROUNDING TRIM. LAST JUNE MY CAR STARTED STALLING OUT, THIS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE ENGINE DIED BUT THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS STAYED ON. IT HAS DIED AT GAS STATIONS, STOP LIGHTS AND PULLING ONTO A ROADWAY. IT CONTINUES TO SHUDDERS AT STOP LIGHTS. NISSAN WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE EVENTS SO I WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT HOME. LAST WEEK MY ROGUE BEGAN TO PUSH 6000 RPMS WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND I NEVER MADE IT ABOVE 45MPH. DURING THIS EVENT THE CAR WOULDN'T GO BELOW 4000RPMS, THIS EVENT LASTED ABOUT 30MINS. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND WE HAVE VIDEO OF THE EVENTS, ABOUT 15 MINUTES WORTH. I WAS TOLD THIS WEEK THAT THE DEALERSHIP HAD SENT THE ISSUES TO NISSAN, AND THAT WITH THE VIDEO/THE COMPLAINTS THAT NISSAN WOULD REPLACE AND FIX WHAT THEY BELIEVED TO BE THE PROBLEM, SOMETHING WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALERSHIP THEN CALLED MY HUSBAND AND TOLD HIM THAT WE COULD PICK UP THE VEHICLE AND TAKE IT HOME. THEY TOLD HIM THAT "NISSAN CREATED A TECHNOLOGY" THAT IS NOW INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE SO THE NEXT TIME AN EVENT HAPPENS IT WILL RECORD IT, TO CONTINUE DRIVING IT FOR A 1,000 MILES. I FEEL UNSAFE IN THIS VEHICLE. I DO NOT TRUST THIS VEHICLE TO DELIVER MY DAUGHTER AND I SAFELY AND RELIABLY TO OUR DESTINATION. I WILL BE HAPPY TO SHARE THE VIDEO AS WELL INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT
