2016 Nissan Rogue

FUEL EFFICIENCY MARKETING SCAM, I BOUGHT A NISSAN ROGUE 2016 TWO YEARS AGO. THE DECISION WAS UPON ITS MARKETING IN EXTRAORDINARY FUEL EFFICIENCY THE NISSAN COMPANY HAS MADE, FOR LOCAL 29/HIGHWAY32. AFTER FEW MONTHS DRIVING EXPERIENCE AND TOLD BY THE DEALER AGENT, I NEED TO DRIVE MY CAR 5K-10K MILES THEN THE ENGINE WILL PROVIDED THAT FUEL EFFICIENCY. BUT AFTER TWO YEARS DRIVEN 27K MILES SIMPLY NOTHING CHANGED, MY CAR ONLY GETS 16/27 FOR LOCAL AND HIGHWAY AND AVERAGE OUT 17-18 MILES PER GALLON. I WAS SO UPSET MYSELF HAVE MADE THAT SUCH MISTAKENLY LEADED DECISION ON BUYING THIS FAKE MARKETING VEHICLE AND NOT SAVE MY GAS MONEY ALSO POLLUTING THE ENVIRONMENT. AS EVERY TIME I HAVE CONFRONTED WITH THE DEALERS TECHINICIAN AND AGENT ON THIS ISSUE, THEY SIMPLY SAID EXCUSES AND NOT DO ANYTHING. AS A RESULT, I HOPE MY ISSUE WILL BE TAKING CARE BY AND SUGGEST ALL FUTURE BUYER NOT TO BUY ANY NISSAN VEHICLES BECAUSE THEY LIE TO CONSUMERS AND THEY ARE NOT ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY ON FUEL EFFICIENCY !!

THE OWNER'S MANUAL FOR THE 2016 NISSAN ROGUE NOTES THE ABILITY TO INSTALL CAR SEATS IN BOTH THE OUTBOARD AND CENTER SEATING POSITIONS OF THE SECOND ROW OF THE VEHICLE. WHILE THERE ARE NO LATCH HOOKS FOR THE CENTER POSITION, THERE IS A CEILING-MOUNTED HOOK AND DIRECTIONS IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL FOR USE OF LAP BELTS TO SECURE A SEAT IN THE CENTER POSITION (SECTION 1-43). NISSAN, HOWEVER, HAS A SEPARATE RELEASE FOR ALL OF THEIR VEHICLES CALLED "SNUG KIDS' AND DENOTES WHICH CAR RESTRAINTS, CALLED CRSS, FUNCTION PROPERLY IN THEIR VEHICLES. FOR THE 2014-2017 NISSAN ROGUE, THE SNUG KIDS DOCUMENTATION FROM NISSAN SPECIFICALLY NOTES: "IMPORTANT NOTE FOR 2ND ROW INSTALLATION: WE DO NOT RECOMMEND INSTALLING ANY CRS IN THE CENTER SEATING POSITION." THIS CONTRADICTS CAR SEAT INSTALLATION DIRECTIONS FOUND IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL. I LEASED THIS VEHICLE WITH THE NEED TO PUT THREE CARS SEATS, OR CRSS, INTO MY CAR AND LEASED A 2016 NISSAN ROGUE BASED UPON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL. THE "SNUG KIDS' DOCUMENTS RELEASED BY NISSAN CONTRADICT THE MANUAL AND I THEREFORE LEASED THIS VEHICLE UNDER FALSE/INACCURATE/MISLEADING INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER. CLEARLY, NISSAN HAS UNCOVERED A SAFETY ISSUE WITH PLACING A CRS IN THEIR VEHICLE BUT NO RECALL EXISTS. FURTHER, NISSAN SEEMS UNWILLING TO HELP OWNERS WHO REPORT THIS ISSUE. I REPORTED THIS ISSUE, INCIDENT #29652572, AND NISSAN HAS DECLINED TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION. I WOULD LIKEN THIS ISSUE TO THE RECENT EMISSION ISSUES SURROUND VOLKSWAGEN WHERE THE VEHICLES WERE SOLD UNDER INACCURATE SPECIFICATIONS PROVIDED FROM THE MANUFACTURER. I AM ATTACHING COPIES OF BOTH THE OWNER'S MANUAL AND THE "SNUG KIDS" RELEASE. I HOPE THAT THIS REPORT TRIGGERS AN INVESTIGATION WHICH LEADS TO ACTION BY NISSAN/A RECALL OF THE NISSAN ROGUE.

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.
