2009 Nissan Rogue

I contacted Nissan July 2018 and was told there were no reports of the issue I was having... Unfortunately what I've experienced seems to be common. I occasionally work as a self employed artist and on long trips my Rogue will refuse to speed up. It doesn't matter how hard I press the gas pedal. It's like something isn't connecting. Nissan said they couldn't find any reports of this happening but I see many complaints. The suv refuses to go over 20mph, sometimes even lower. This issue has put my life at risk many times and I'm wondering what it will take for something to change!? It happened going uphill multiple times and seems to happen when traffic is at a stop and go. The only recall issue I saw had to do with snow and salt getting in somewhere. This seems to happen when it's warmer outside.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE UP HILLS OR DURING HOT DAYS, THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY IGNORE THE GAS PEDAL AND SLOW DOWN. THIS BECOMES TREACHEROUS ON LONG DRIVES THAT INVOLVE GOING OVER HILLS OR MOUNTAINS AS THEY CAR WILL SLOW TO UNDER 40MPH AND WILL NOT RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL. AFTER BRINGING MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY STATED THERE IS AN ECM RECALL. THEY CHANGED OUT THE PART, BUT THE ISSUE WHEN DRIVING STILL OCCURRED. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM (SEE NTB14-002), HOWEVER THE ISSUE IS NOT CONSIDERED A RECALL AND IS LABELED AS A CUSTOMER EXPENSE FOR THOSE OUTSIDE THE 60,000 MILE WARRANTY AND OPTIONAL UPGRADE. THIS IS A SERIOUS FLAW FOR ANY ROGUE OWNERS, AND IS A SAFETY RISK WHILE DRIVING. NISSAN SHOULD REPLACE THE FLAWED COOLING SYSTEMS AT THEIR EXPENSE, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE DEFECT WAS NOT DETECTED UNTIL 11/25/2015.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC IN MAY OF 2017. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND SUGGESTED TAKING THE VEHICLE TO ONE OF THEIR FACILITIES FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 159,000.

WHILE TAKING A FAMILY TRIP IN JULY 2017 WEEKS AGO ON I95 DRIVING AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ONCE THE SPEEDOMETER HIT 65 TO 70. AT CERTAIN TIMES TRYING TO MOVE INTO ANOTHER LANE THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T ACCELERATE EVEN WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING IT ALSO STARTED TO DECELERATE. IT DISPLAYED THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN WHEN TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY THE FOLLOWING WEEK AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN TRYING TO MERGE OR MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT IS BEHIND YOU.

THE NISSAN ROGUE HAD A CVT TRANSMISSION REPLACED BY THE DEALER AFTER IT STOPPED RUNNING ON THE HIGHWAY IN 2013 WITH ONLY 70,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AGAIN, 2 YEARS LATER, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AGAIN. NISSAN FAILED TO DO ANYTHING TO ASSIST ME THE SECOND TIME WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE FREEWAY BOTH TIMES. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY ISSUES WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. *TR

I HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR FOUR YEARS NOW, AND EARLY THIS LAST YEAR, MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, HAD IT CHECKED OUT, AND THEY STATED I HAD A LEAK NEAR MY GAS CAP, SO THEY ADVISED ME TO PURCHASE A NEW GAS CAP, BECAUSE THE SUCTION WAS GO ON THE OLD ONE, I DID THAT, AND THE NEXT DAY, I THOUGH CAME BACK ON, I WENT BACK TO THEM, AND THEY STATED THAT THE WAY THAT THE LEAK IS, OVERTIME I GOT GAS, I WOULD NEED TO PUSH IN THE CAP AND THAT SHOULD SEAL IT. NEEDLESS TO SAY THAT DIDN'T WORK, IT BEEN MONTHS LATER AND I HAVE HAD FOUR DIFFERENT PARTS RELATED ON THE VEHICLE THAT DID NOT NEED REPLACING AND MY LIGHT IS STILL ON! THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IS CAUSE IT TO COME ON. THE OTHER ISSUE IS THAT MY CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE UP HILLS, I HAVE TO HAVE THE RPM'S ON 4 OR 5 JUST TO GET THE CAR UP THE HILL, AND THEN GOING DOWN THE HILL, I CAR SOUND LIKE SOMETHING IS WRONG. I WAS TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT, BUT I KNOW THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG, IT SHOULD NOT SOUND LIKE THAT. THE NEXT ISSUE THAT I A HAVING IS THAT MY AC COMPRESSOR IS SHOT. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET IT REPLACED ALL SUMMER NOW, AND FOR SOME REASON, MY CAR WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY OF THE NEW ONES, I HAVE HAD ABOUT THREE NEW ONES, I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT TO DO NEXT. I AM MOVING TO GEORGIA IN A FEW WEEKS, AND I AM GOING TO NEED AC! *TR

THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! - OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, I FILED A COMPLAINT TO THE NHTSA AND MADE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS TO THE DEALER SERVICE CENTER ABOUT THIS ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE CVT. I COMMUTE EVERYDAY ON THE NJ TURNPIKE. I HAVE TO MAKE STOPS 'TO LET THE ENGINE/CVT COOL OFF' BOTH GOING AND COMING HOME FROM WORK BECAUSE THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE. I BARELY GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER IN HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC. SOMETIMES IF THERE ISN'T AN IMMEDIATE SHOULDER, I HAVE TO GO AT A SPEED OF 5-10 MPH IN HIGH SPEED TURNPIKE TRAFFIC OF 60-80 MPH TO FINALLY GET TO A SHOULDER. I ALREADY REPLACED ONE CVT IN THIS CAR. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2009 WHEN I PURCHASED THIS CAR. NOW I SEE IN 2014 NISSAN CAME UP WITH A 'FIX' TO REPLACE/INSTALL A COOLER KIT AND A TRANS OIL COOLER. THE TWO KITS COST ABOUT $860 WITHOUT INSTALLATION. WHY IS THIS COST PASSED ON TO US THE CONSUMERS? THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN CVT DESIGN. NISSAN SHOULD MAKE GOOD ON THEIR PROMISE TO THE CUSTOMER AND RECALL THE VEHICLES WITH THIS CVT ISSUE TO REPLACE/INSTALL THE NEEDED PARTS WITHOUT MAKING US PAY FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE VEHICLE DESIGN. OH AND I I SAID EARLIER, I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING TO THE DEALER SERVICE CENTER FOR YEARS INCLUDING 2014 AND NONE OF THE SERVICE TECHS EVER MENTIONED THE COOLER KIT FIXES TO ME. THEIR RESPONSE WAS THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING WITH THE CAR. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN AND I TELL EVERYONE I KNOW ABOUT THESE CVT ISSUES. THERE ARE AT LEAST 100+ COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE ABOUT THE CVT. WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO GET A RECALL? WHY DO THE CONSUMERS HAVE TO PAY FOR NISSAN'S FAULTY CVT DESIGN?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER DRIVING FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME WHICH EXCEEDED ONE HOUR, THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL AS THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING UPHILL, THE VEHICLE WOULD DECELERATE INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.
