2008 Nissan Rogue

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. DURING PROLONG PERIODS OF DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF ACCELERATION WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED FIVE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO LOSE ACCELERATION POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I'VE HAD THIS ISSUE FOR A COUPLES OF YEARS NOW, MY ROGUE LOSSES POWER AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES OR MORE ON THE HIGHWAY. I'VE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS IN THIS SITE AND ELSEWHERE OF WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCUR AND HOW IT'S SO HARD REPLICATE BECAUSE THERE'S NO ENGINE LIGHT. I'VE ALREADY REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION IN APRIL 2013 AND NOW MY ENGINE LIGHTS IS ON, TOOK IT TO NISSAN AND THEY SAY IT'S MY TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY. I JUST HIT 126,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND OF COURSE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRES AT 120,000. NISSAN NEEDS TO SERIOUSLY CONSIDER A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT (IF IT HASN'T HAPPEN ALREADY).

THE FUEL SENDING UNIT DOES NOT WORK. I FILL UP THE TANK AND IT DOES NOT READ FULL, AND IT IS UNRELIABLE. I CONTACTED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA AND THEY TOLD ME THE CAR IS NOT SUBJECT TO A RECALL OR WARRANTY EXTENSION SO TOO BAD. THIS IS A 7 YEAR OLD CAR! THIS SHOULDN'T FAIL! ALSO, NISSAN HAS ISSUED RECALLS FOR THE SAME PART FOR THE NISSAN FRONTIER AND ALTIMA, BOTH FOR THE 2008 MODEL YEAR.

ON A ROAD TRIP FROM LOS ANGELES TO LAS VEGAS, ENCOUNTERING NORMALLY HOT TEMPERATURES, AND AFTER SEVERAL HOURS OF DRIVING, THE CAR LOST POWER COULD ONLY ATTAIN SPEEDS OF 50 MPH OR LESS UP HILLS. THIS IS A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER TO THE OCCUPANTS WHEN OTHER CARS ARE EASILY GOING 70 - 75 MPH. IF YOU PULL OFF THE ROAD, THE CARS HAVE A TENDENCY TO LURCH FORWARD AND WITH DANGEROUSLY POOR ACCELERATION. FROM READING THE CAR FORUMS, THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL, WHERE THE CVT TRANSMISSION APPARENTLY OVER-HEATS AND PUTS THE CAR INTO "LIMP" MODE. THE FIX HAS BEEN TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSIONS AND INSTALL AN ADDITIONAL TRANSMISSION COOLER, HOWEVER MANY DEALERS TRY TO CHARGE THE CUSTOMER FOR THE COOLER, AND THE NISSAN FACTORY IS NOW HESITANT TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSIONS EVEN THOUGH THEIR LONGEVITY AND RELIABILITY HAS UNDOUBTEDLY BEEN COMPROMISED IF THE OVER-HEATING PROBLEM WAS EXPERIENCED. THERE SHOULD BE A MANDATORY RECALL DEMANDED BY THE NTSB BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR INJURED DUE TO THIS LACK OF ACCELERATION. THE PROBLEM IS DIFFICULT TO REPRODUCE AT THE DEALER BECAUSE IT INVOLVES A MULTI-HOUR ROAD TRIP AND HILLS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, PLEASE.

AFTER 5 HOURS OF OPERATION, WHILE CLIMING UPGRADE NEAR CHARLOTTE NC, VEHICLE SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR AND LOST POWER. THIS REPEATED OVER A SERIES OF INCLINES FOR THE NEXT 50 MILES AND NEARLY RESULTED IN SEVERAL REAR END ACCIDENTS. DURING THESE INCIDENTS,THE VEHICLE BOTH LOST POWER AND THE CRUISE CONTROL UNEXPECTEDLY SHUT OFF. LOCAL NISSAN DEALER CONFIRMED IT WAS DUE TO A KNOWN HEAT ISSUE WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS, AND AN ADVISORY WAS OUT TO INSPECT AND ADVISE WHEN REPORTED. NISSAN INSTRUCTED AN ADDITIONAL COOLING APPLIANCE BE ADDED TO KEEP THE FLUID COOL SO OPERATION WAS NORMAL. ISSUE IS THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BASED ON ASSUMPTION THAT ANY VEHICLE WILL DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR SEVERAL HOURS AND EVENTUALLY HAVE TO ENCOUNTER RELATIVLY EASY UPGRADES ON OUR HIGHWAYS. TRANSMISSION FAILURE UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES IS INEVITABLE, AND SO WILL BE POTENTIALLY FATAL OR AT LEAST INJURY INDUCING INCIDENTS.

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 08V5210000 WAS ISSUED RECALLING THE 2008 NISSAN ROGUE FOR A FAULTY AIRBAG SENSOR. WHY WHEN I OWN A 2008 ROGUE, AND THE DEALER HAS CONFIRMED THE OCS CONTROL UNIT FAULTY & NOW HAS FAILED, IS NISSAN NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING IT AT THEIR COST? THEY TELL ME IT IS BECAUSE ONLY A CERTAIN SUPPLIER WAS RECALLED EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW THE SAME PART IS THE ONE THAT IS FAULTY IN MY 2008 ROGUE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE AND IT WAS RECALLED ON MY MAKE & MODEL BUT BECAUSE MY VIN # WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL (I.E. NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE COMPLAINED), THEY REFUSE TO OFFER ANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I HAVE A 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WHO RIDES IN THE PASSENGER SEAT FOR 50 MILES TO/FROM SCHOOL EVERYDAY. THIS REPAIR IS $2500! IT IS A FAULTY PART & NISSAN NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING ALL PARTS THAT ARE DEEMED FAULTY AND FAIL. I INFORMED NISSAN THAT (HEAVEN FORBID) IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT & MY DAUGHTER FLIES OUT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD BECAUSE OF A FAULTY AIRBAG SENSOR, YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT IS ON RECORD & A LAWSUIT WILL BE FILED. NISSAN IS FULLY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, AS IS YOUR ORGANIZATION. BUT UNFORTUNATELY YOU LIMIT THESE RECALLS FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE BIG CORPORATIONS INSTEAD OF THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE.
