2008 Nissan Rogue

WHILE ME AND MY CHILD WERE TRAVELING UPHILL ON A BUSY FREEWAY, I NOTICED THE CAR WAS DECELERATING. NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESSED ON THE PEDAL TO INCREASE THE SPEED, THE CAR CONTINUED TO SLOW DOWN. MANY CARS BEHIND US HAD TO SWERVE FROM HITTING US AND HONKED FOR US TO MOVE OUT OF THEIR WAY. UNFORTUNATELY, IT WAS BEYOND MY CONTROL AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. A COUPLE OF GUYS HAD TO MOVE OUR VEHICLE OUT OF HARMS WAY. IT WAS VERY STRESSFUL AND DANGEROUS. I'M SO GLAD WE WERE NOT HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. I ENDED UP REPLACING THAT TRANSMISSION WITH A USED LOW MILEAGE TRANSMISSION WHICH WORKED FOR A WHILE. IT IS GOING ON A YEAR AND I'VE BEEN TOLD THE CVT TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AGAIN. I'VE ALREADY SPENT THOUSANDS ON THIS PART ALONE. IS THERE ANYTHING ANYONE CAN DO ABOUT THIS FAULTY PRODUCT. I CAN'T AFFORD TO SPEND ANY MORE MONEY ON ANOTHER FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSION THAT WILL GO BAD AGAIN. *TR

OUTSIDE PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE STOPPED WORKING. HAVE BEEN READING TONS OF COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER ROGUE OWNERS WHO ARE ALSO HAVING THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND NISSAN IS NOT HONORING THESE DEFECTS AND FIXING THEM. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. AT WHAT POINT DOES A RECALL HAVE TO BE ISSUED WHEN THIS PROBLEM IS SO INCREDIBLY PREVALENT?? WE NOW HAVE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. NOW WE'RE JUST WAITING FOR THIS TO OCCUR AT SOME POINT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AS WELL!!!! APPARENTLY THE LINKAGES WITHIN THE DOOR HANDLE MECHANISMS ARE FAULTY AND "FALL APART" IS WHAT I AM GATHERING FROM EVERYONE ELSE'S COMPLAINTS. PLEASE MAKE THIS A RECALL. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

PROBLEM IN JULY 2012- AT A STOP LIGHT , WENT TO ACCELERATE, AND NOTHING,, KEPT PUSHING GAS PEDAL,, TOOK OUT OF DRIVE AND PUT BACK IN , FINALLY WENT., KEPT DOING THIS AT UNEXPECTED TIMES. NO SERVICE LIGHT WENT ON. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP, $600.00, LATER, THEY SAID IT WAS MY ACCELERATION CABLE, AND REPLACED IT.. STATED TRANSMISSION HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.. STILL NOT RUNNING WELL, STILL MAKES WHINING NOISE - MARCH 2013 STARTED DOING SAME THING WITH ACCELERATION. , ALMOST GOT KILLED TAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AND NO ACCELERATION. MAKING HIGH PITCH NOISE @ 50-60 MILES.TOOK TO DEALERSHIP -SAID IT WAS MY TRANSMISSION FLUID, IT WAS OVERFILLED AND BAD COLOR?. $ 200 TO CHANGE FLUID, STILL NOT AGREEING TO CHANGE OUT TRANSMISSION. I LOOKED ON LINE , A TON OF COMPLAINTS ON SAME ISSUES.. ALL RESULTING IN THE CVT- HOW DO I GET THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX PROBLEM? *TR

THE CAR WOULD LOSE ACCELERATION WHEN DRIVING AND ALSO WHEN STARTING TO GO FROM BEING STOPPED. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS DRIVING AROUND 60 MPH ON HIGHWAY AND THE GAS PEDAL WAS FULLY TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT INCREASE IN SPEED. THE CAR LOST SPEED AND DECREASED DOWN TO 45 MPH. WHEN GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY AT THE END OF THE EXIT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS. 5 SECONDS LATER THE CAR THRUSTED INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AS POWER KICKED BACK IN. AFTER SEVERAL PHONE CALLS TO NISSAN AND TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AT AROUND 60,000 MILES. CARE WAS GOOD FOR ABOUT 8 MONTHS BUT STARTED HAVING SAME ISSUE. HAVE HAD THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP 10 - 12 TIMES WITH SAME ISSUE AND TO THIS DAY IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. THEY USUALLY STATE THEY CAN NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. TEST DROVE THE CAR WITH THEIR TOP MECHANIC AND GOT THE ACCELERATION ISSUE TO HAPPEN. THEY MECHANIC SAID NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HE DRAINED FLUIDS SAYING THE LEVEL WAS TO HIGH. 6 MONTHS LATER SAME ISSUES AGAIN. TRIP AFTER TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAY THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND SEND US ON OUR WAY. LAST TIME 3 OTHER CUSTOMERS WERE AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH SAME ISSUE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. *TR

I OWN A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE WHICH I PURCHASED NEW. THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT HAS RECENTLY STARTED BLINKING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A FAILURE OF THE OCCUPANT PASSENGER SENSOR. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SAME MODEL YEAR FOR THE SAME ISSUE (CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 08V521000) BUT THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE LISTED IN THE RECALL IS THE EXACT SAME FAILURE EXPERIENCED IN THE VEHICLE. THEN THE DEALER TOLD US THAT IT WOULD COST AROUND $3000 TO REPAIR!!! WE HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN BUT SO FAR THEY HAVE NOT AGREED TO DO ANYTHING. SINCE DAY ONE, THE PASSENGER SENSOR HAS ALWAYS BEEN ERRATIC AND OFTEN WOULD NOT WORK WHEN A PASSENGER WAS IN THE SEAT. WE MENTIONED IT TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES BUT THEY NEVER AGREED TO FIX IT. NOW THE ENTIRE AIRBAG SYSTEM IN THE CAR IN NOT FUNCTIONING AND IS CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR
