2008 Nissan Rogue

WE BOUGHT A CAR LAST MONDAY ON MAY 26, 2014 AT ANTWERPEN NISSAN SECURITY DEALERSHIP (1701 WOODLAWN DRIVE, BALTIMORE, MD 21207). PLEASE FIND THE CAR DETAILS: YEAR: 2008 MAKE: NISSAN MODEL: ROGUE BODY TYPE: 4DR SL FWD TRIM: SL BLACK VIN: [XXX] ODOMETER: 78321 WITH A DEALER WARRANTY FOR ONE MONTH OR 1000 MILES, POWERTRAIN ONLY ; FOR THE TOTAL CASH DELIVERED PRICE OF $13,000.00 (THIRTEEN THOUSAND US DOLLARS) ALREADY PAID BY CHECK ON MAY 26, 2014. THE SECOND DAY WE WERE FACING PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR AS THE MOTOR WAS OVERHEATED IN VERY FEW MILES, IT WAS SMELLING SMOKY INSIDE AND THE MOTOR WAS MAKING CRACKING NOISES EVEN WHEN IT WAS TURNED OFF. WE CALLED IMMEDIATELY THE SALES MANAGER AND LET HIM KNOW THAT WE WANT TO TURN THE CAR BACK AS IT IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE DAY AFTER WE ALMOST GET AN ACCIDENT IN THE TRAFFIC THAT PUT OUR LIFE IN DANGER. THE CAR LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING: GAS PEDAL WAS FULLY PUSHED DOWN AND THE TACHOMETER SHOWED 3500 RPM WHILE THE SPEED HARDLY REACHED 20 MPH FOR ABOUT 2 MILES TILL WE PULLED OVER AT BEL AIR ROAD. WE DECIDED TO CALL THE GENERAL MANAGER FOR TURNING THE CAR BACK AS IT WAS WITHIN THE WARRANTY AND I WAS VERY CLEAR TO HIM THAT I DO NOT WANT THAT CAR ANY MORE. HE AGREED TO DO SO, AND ON LAST FRIDAY MAY 30TH, 2014, THEY CARRIED THE CAR FROM OUR HOME LOCATION. WE REQUESTED THE MONEY BACK. SINCE THAT DAY WE HAVE BEING WAITING FOR DAYS AND HOURS IN THE DEALERSHIP OFFICES FOR A RESPONSE OF OUR REQUEST, BUT THEY LIED TO US ALL THE TIME AND LAST NIGHT AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS ON DEAF PHONE CALLS THE RESPONSE WAS: NO, THEY ARE NOT GIVING US THE MONEY BACK. THE CAR DEALER PRETEND THAT THIS DANGEROUS CAR HAS NO PROBLEMS AT ALL !!! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE DEFECT WAS ALSO PRESENT WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS DEFECTIVE.

2008 NISSAN ROGUE LOSES ACCELERATION UNEXPECTEDLY, PLACING THE DRIVER IN VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. WHEN DRIVING UP HILL, AFTER LOSING ACCELERATION WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC FOLLOWING, WHERE OTHER VEHICLES HAVE TO SLAM ON BRAKES OR DANGEROUSLY SWERVE TO GET OF THE WAY OF OUR NISSAN WHICH IS BARELY MOVING FORWARD. SEVERAL SEMIS HAVE HAD TO MAKE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS MANEUVERS IN ORDER NOT TO REAR-END OUR NISSAN. FIRST TRANSMISSION REPLACED WITH 66284 MILES - NOW SECOND TRANSMISSION IS DOING THE SAME THING AT 126000 MILES. VERY UNSAFE! HAVE READ OF MANY OTHER SIMILAR SITUATIONS WITH NISSAN ROGUE CVT TRANSMISSIONS. *TR

VEHICLE HAS SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER DUE TO OVERHEATING OF TRANSMISSION FLUID CAUSING VEHICLE TO GO INTO A LIMP MODE REDUCING SPEED TO APPROXIMATELY 40-50 MPH. HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR 2 OR MORE HOURS. ONCE COMING TO A STOP, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL...COMPLETELY POWERLESS. HAVE HAD TO A NISSAN DEALER 4 TIMES RECEIVING NOTHING MORE THAN A BAND-AID TEMPORARY REPAIR BY DRAINING SOME OF THE TRANS FLUID RATHER THAN INSTALLING A BETTER TRANSMISSION COOLING SYSTEM. NISSAN HAS KNOW ABOUT HUNDREDS OF CASES OVER THE COURSE OF 7 YEARS AND TO DATE HAS NO CREDIBLE REPAIR, THUS TOTALLY IGNORING CONSUMERS SAFETY. THERE ARE TENS OF REVIEWS REGARDING THIS BY CONCERNED CONSUMERS. THIS IS A FATALITY( IF NOT ALREADY) WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR

MY CAR'S "CHECK ENGINE SOON" SIGNAL CAME ON AND WHEN I GOT IT CHECKED OUT I WAS TOLD THAT I HAVE A FAULTY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. AFTER SOME RESEARCH ONLINE IT'S APPARENT THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE MAKE AND MODEL. I WOULD LIKE TO PUT IN A COMPLAINT SO THAT WE COULD REQUEST RECALL ACTION ON THIS ISSUE AS IT'S A COMMON ISSUE HAPPENING TO A LOT OF NISSAN ROGUE CONSUMERS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING WEST FROM ST. LOUIS, MO TO BOULDER, CO AND ABOUT HALF WAY INTO MY DRIVE MY 2008 NISSAN ROGUE S AWD HAD A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER. IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BUT THE RPM OF THE ENGINE CLIMBED WHEN I PRESSED THE PEDAL. I CAME TO A STOP AND I COULD HEAR THE TRANSMISSION MAKING AN WHINING NOISE. I CHECKED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND DID NOT SEE ANY FLUID LEAKS OR ANY DAMAGE. WHEN I GOT BACK ON THE ROAD THE CAR WORKED NORMALLY FOR A WHILE BUT THEN BEGAN TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. THIS OCCURRED FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP, SOMETIMES WORKING NORMALLY, AND SOMETIMES NOT. *TR

BEGAN TO LOSE POWER AFTER 2 HOURS OF DRIVING-WAS TOLD AT DEALER THAT CAR WAS GOING INTO SAFE MODE. FLUIDS WERE CHANGED AT CONSIDERABLE COST APPROX 6 MONTHS AGO. YESTERDAY I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL AND WITHOUT WARNING I HAD NO POWER, HAD TO COAST TO SAFETY. THERE WERE NO SOUNDS, NO LIGHTS OF WARNING ON DASH. DEALERSHIP INDICATES TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $3500. THEY WILL NOT ENTERTAIN ANY WARRANTY COMPENSATION AS WE HAVE PASSES THE EXTENDED 120,000 WARRANTY. CLEARLY THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CVT COMPONENT, VERY DISAPPOINTING. *TR
