2009 Nissan Rogue

I HAD DRIVEN MY 2009 NISSAN ROGUE AS I WAS DRIVING FOR ABOUT 1 HR @ 65MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SPEED DECREASED ON ITS OWN .. I LET GO OF THE GAS AND THEN QUICKLY PUT MY FOOT ON THE PEDAL AGAIN BUT IT WOULD NOT SPEED UP.. I HAD MY FOOT COMPLETELY ON THE GAS PEDAL. BUT IT WOULD NOT GO FASTER THAN 20MPH. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THERE COULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT... WITH MY TWO KIDS ON BOARD... *TR

MY CAR WAS IN GARAGE RUNNING IN PARK. STEPPED OUT OF VEHICLE , WAS STANDING OUTSIDE DOOR. CAR SHOT BACKWARD OUT OF GARAGE, ONTO DRIVEWAY. NEVER SAW ANYTHING LIKE IT. MAKE A SHARP TURN WITH BACK END COMING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND FACING TO THE RIGHT OF MY GARAGE. (MY TWO LEGS RUN OVER BY THE VEHICLE AS IT TURNED AROUND). CAR PROCEEDED TO TURN FORWARD DOWN HILL OVER FRONT OF MY YARD AND STOPPING IN MY NEIGHBORS EMPTY LOT NEXT TO THEIR HOUSE. COMING TO A STOP AFTER HITTING A TREE. AFTER LOOKING IN VEHICLE AFTER IT STOPPED, CAR WAS IN PARKED GEAR. *TR

WHEN GOING OVER 60 MILES AN HOUR, USUALLY ABOUT AN HOUR INTO A LONG DRIVE, THE NISSAN ROGUE WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THE RPM INDICATOR GOES HAYWIRE AND MY FOOT IS COMPLETELY DOWN ON THE PEDAL BUT THERE IS NO ACCELERATION. THIS FIRST HAPPENED IN AUGUST 2012 WHEN I WAS DRIVING OVER A MOUNTAIN TO GET TO THE DESERT SO I THOUGHT THE CAR WAS OVERHEATING. SINCE THEN THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING CONSISTENTLY WHENEVER I DRIVE FOR OVER AN HOUR (WHICH I OFTEN DO FOR WORK). AT TIMES, THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD IF IT IS AT A STOPLIGHT EVEN WHEN MY FOOT IS COMPLETELY ON THE FLOOR. THEN IT REVS UP AFTER A MINUTE BUT NOT BEFORE EVERYONE ELSE STARTS HONKING. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU ARE ON THE FREEWAY AND SUDDENLY YOUR CAR STOPS ACCELERATING. ALL THE CARS BEHIND YOU START PASSING YOU BUT IT WILL ONLY TAKE ONE CAR NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO CAUSE A HUGE ACCIDENT, INJURY OR DEATH AND THEN NISSAN WILL BE IN REAL TROUBLE. I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF INCIDENCES AND COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER NISSAN ROGUE DRIVERS OVER THE PAST COUPLE YEARS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND A USED CAR WITH 82K MILES ON IT. AROUND CHRISTMAS I WAS ON MY WAY FROM MODESTO, CA ON THE I-80 BACK TO RENO, NV. I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL SET TO 70 AND WHILE GOING UPHILL THE CRUISE CONTROL SHUT OFF AND I BEGAN LOOSING SPEED REALLY FAST. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR BUT THERE WAS NOTHING. I HAD THE PEDAL FLOORED AND YET I KEPT LOOSING SPEED. AT FIRST IT HAPPENED ONLY ON HILLS, NOW IT'S HAPPENING ON FLAT LAND. I'VE ALSO NOTICED THAT GOING FROM A STOP TO GO POINT MY CAR ALMOST STALLS AS IF IT WERE A MANUAL, IT'S AUTOMATIC. I'VE ALMOST GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT A FEW TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM SAYS THEY, "CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM," SO I'M DRIVING AROUND THIS CAR HOPING FOR THE BEST UNTIL IT GETS WORSE AND ACTUALLY CAUSES AND ACCIDENT OR UNTIL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I DID RESEARCH AND THE SYMPTOMS FROM OTHER ROUGE OWNERS SIMILAR TO MY SYMPTOMS, ALL ENDED UP IN NEW TRANSMISSIONS... *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

AT SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST COMING FROM OUT OF A STOP, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS ABLE TO PUSH THE PEDAL HARD TO GET ACCELERATION AND MANAGED TO REGAIN ACCELERATION. ON 7/9/12, WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT STEADY SPEEDS, I BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN TO SLOWING TRAFFIC, WHEN TRAFFIC PICKED UP I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET ACCELERATION OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I PUNCHED THE PEDAL TO THE FLOORBOARD AND GOT NO ACCELERATION WHATSOEVER. THE RPMS WOULD NOT INCREASE THE OVERDRIVE WOULD NOT RESPOND AND WAS JUST COASTING AT 40 MPH. THIS WAS SUCH A RISK AS I HAD FAST COMING TRAFFIC AND HAD TO PULL TO THE SLOW LANE TO NOT BE A HAZARD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY. THE VEHICLE NEVER REGAINED ACCELERATION AND HAD TO KEEP PEDAL PUSHED TO CONTINUE MOVING. I PROCEEDED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT THE INSISTED THAT SINCE THEY RECEIVED NO COMPUTER ERROR CODES OR COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND NOTICED IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO LOTS OF PEOPLE AND COULD BE SEVERAL POSSIBLE ISSUES. IT SEEMS MOST OF THE CAUSES ARE A RESULT OF LONG DISTANCE DRIVING WHICH I DO 4 TIMES A WEEK AND SOMEHOW RESETS UPON TURNING OFF AND TURNING BACK ON VEHICLE OR VEHICLE COOLING DOWN. THE DEALER "COULD NOT" SPARE THE TIME FOR SOMEONE TO DRIVE IT FOR THAT LONG SO THEY LEFT IT AT THAT.. I FEEL THIS IS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD AND HOPE THAT THIS ISSUE CAN BE DEALT WITH THE MANUFACTURER AS A RECALL. *TR
