2009 Nissan Rogue

I have a 2009 Nissan Rouge. The CVT TRANSMISSION is failing. I know there was a recall on certain 2009 Rouges for this. Mine is not on the recall list but I think it should be. Its leaking fluid bad, just all of a sudden. It won’ t accelerate after I stop at a traffic light , it’s sluggish, sometimes it feels like the engine is going to fall out when I do finally get it to go, it smells hot, it sputters and jerks when on freeway and in traffic I’m not sure what it’s going to do. I’m a 67 year old woman who is on a fixed income. I can’t afford a new car or to have another transmission put in this one. Nissans are suppose to last forever. They are supposed to be reliable cars. I need help

2009 NISSAN ROGUE WITH LESS THAN 60,000 ORIGINAL MILES WON'T ACCELERATE EVEN WHEN PUSHING DOWN THE THROTTLE PEDAL. ON THE HIGHWAY, ONCE DRIVEN FOR A WHILE, IT WILL NOT MAINTAIN SPEED NO MATTER HOW MUCH THROTTLE IS APPLIED. RESEARCH SEEMS TO INDICATE A TRANSMISSION DESIGN FLAW. THERE ARE LOTS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS THAT CAN BE FOUND ON-LINE. I FEEL THIS IS VERY MUCH A SAFETY HAZARD.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR OCCASIONALLY WILL NOT OPEN. IT CAN NEVER BE OPENED FROM OUTSIDE, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL TIMES WHEN I'M INSIDE AND GO TO OPEN THE DOOR TO GET OUT, AND IT WONT OPEN. THIS IS WITH ENGINE TURNED OFF, CAR IN PARK, AND DOORS UNLOCKED. IN AN EMERGENCY, SUCH AS CAR STALLING ON A RAILROAD TRACK/CAR SINKING IN A POND/ENGINE ON FIRE - I COULD BE STUCK INSIDE!

RECALL -HARNESS CONNECTOR (TORQUE CONVERTED SOLENOID CIRCUIT INTERMITTENT) PREVIOUS RECALL WASN'T COMPLETED PROPERLY AS I CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE INTERMITTENT ERRATIC BEHAVIOR OF THE POWER TRAIN AND RELATED CIRCUITRY, TWO WEEKS AFTER THE MANUFACTURER SAID THEY FIXED THE HARNESS CONNECTOR INSPECT AND REPLACE RECALL (ROGUE CONNECT) THAT WAS PLACE ON THE CAR. THE CAR JERKS UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY OR HESITATES AT STOP THEN TAKES OFF SUDDENLY AT HIGH SPEED. I LIKE FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO LOOK INTO THIS AND PROPERLY ADDRESS THIS RECALL BY FIXING THIS ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE THEY BUILT WHICH I STILL CURRENT DRIVE. A DIAGNOSTIC SCAN WAS DONE AT AUTOZONE AND I WAS TOLD THE TORQUE CONVERTER SOLENOID CIRCUITS ARE INTERMITTENT AND THAT IT'S DUE TO A DAMAGED TRANSMISSION WIRING HARNESS THAT IS EITHER LOOSE OR OPEN CIRCUIT IN THE SYSTEM AND MAY CAUSE A FIRE.

DEFECTIVE DOOR HANDLE/LOCKING ASSEMBLY. BOTH FRONT DOORS HANDLE ASSEMBLY FROZE UP PREVENTING ME FROM OPENING BOTH DOORS. IN THE MEAN TIME MY WIFE HAD CLIMB FROM THE BACK SEAT TO OPEN THEDOOR FROM THE INSIDE. ONE TIME SHE STOPPED AT THE TOP OF THE DRIVEWAY TO GET THE MAIL ON A SNOWY WINDY DAY, SHE PULLED UP NEXT TO THE MAILBOX GOT OUT FOR A SECOND AND THE DOOR BLEW SHUT LOCKING MY 2 YEAR OLD SON, THE KEYS AND HER PHONE IN THE BACK SEAT THANKFULLY NEIGHBOR WAS HOME AND USED A COAT HANGER TO ACTIVATE THE LATCH . THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER SHIP AND PAID 99 BUCKS TO DIAGNOSE AND THEY SAY I NEED TO REPLACE THE LATCHES AND IT WILL COST ABOUT 900 BUCKS !! ONLINE AND ANOTHER MECHANIC HAVE SAID THIS IS A RECALLED ISSUE AND THE LATCHES FREEZE AND THEY WILL REPLACE FREE OF CHARGE AND THERE IS EVEN AND ADDENDUM TO AD ADDITIONAL INSULATION TO LATCHES TO PREVENT FUTURE FREEZE UPS. I AM GOING TO TRY TO CALL ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND CORPORATE NISAAN IF I HAVE TOO. SOME ONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH INFORMATION ON THIS SAFTEY ISSUE.

CAN WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ONCE I WAS AT A STOP. WOULD TRY AND GO AND VEHICLE WOULD GO AN ESTIMATED SPEED OF 5MPH THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO TURN OR PULL INTO AN INTERSECTION. NOT KNOWING IF MY VEHICLE WOULD GO WITHOUT ISSUES OR LOSE POWER AND PULL IN FRONT OF A CAR GOING DANGEROUSLY SLOW. THIS HAS HAPPEN ABOUT 10TIMES AND RANDOM DAYS/TIMES. THIS IS A CONTINUING PROBLEM.

THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY LOSE ACCELERATION FOR NO REASON. I BROUGHT THIS CAR FOR MY GRANDDAUGHTER AND SHE HAS ALMOST GOTTEN HIT A COUPLE OF TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. SHE WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE SPEED DROPPED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THIRTY THEN TO TWENTY. SHE HAD TO PULLED OVER ONTO SHOULDER AND WAIT ABOUT TEN MINUTES BEFORE SHE COULD PROCEED, IT STILL WOULD NOT GO OVER FORTY EVEN THOUGH SHE HAD THE PEDAL FLOORED. SINCE THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH SO MANY CARS PLEASE MAKE NISSAN FIX IT.
