2010 Nissan Rogue

THE SUNROOF OF MY CAR (WHILE I WAS DRIVING) EXPLODED! FORTUNATELY THE INSIDE PANEL WAS CLOSED. I IMAGINED SOMETHING HIT THE SUNROOF, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING INSIDE THE WELL. JUST RECENTLY I WATCHED A NEWS PROGRAM THAT SHOWED THAT MANY SUNROOFS ARE EXPLODING DUE TO FLAWS IN THE GLASS. THE COST OF THE REPAIR WAS UNDER MY DEDUCTIBLE, COSTING ME $303.35 TO REPLACE. I WAS DRIVING ON RT. 7 "BELLEVILLE TURNPIKE" KEARNY, NEW JERSEY. NOTHING WAS NEAR ME AT THE TIME - IT SOUNDED LIKE I HAD BEEN SHOT AT! I HAD THE REPAIR DONE AT LIDO AUTO BODY IN BELLEVILLE, N.J. IT TOOK THREE DAYS TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR, I HAD TO RENT A CAR (ENTERPRISE) TO GO TO WORK COSTING ME $124.74. I HAVE PHOTOS AND INVOICES, BUT I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FACILITATE A DOWNLOAD IF I AM PROVIDED A FAX NUMBER, I WILL GLADLY PROVIDE WHATEVER DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED. *TR

ON 12/7/15 I HONESTLY THOUGHT SOMEONE SHOT AT MY CAR! DRIVING ON ROUTE 7 IN KEARNY, N.J., NO OTHER VEHICLES NEAR MINE. I HAD THE INTERIOR SHADE CLOSED, BUT COULD HEAR PIECES OF GLASS BREAKING AND REALIZED IT WAS MY SUNROOF THAT WAS COMING APART. I CALLED INSURANCE AND THEY ASKED IF I HAD DRIVEN UNDER AN OVERPASS, NO MENTION OF EXPLOSION. I PAID TO HAVE THE SUNROOF REPLACED AT LIDO AUTO BODY IN BELLEVILLE COSTING ME $303.35. HAVE PHOTOS AND INVOICE, I AM 68 AND DO NOT POSSESS THE TECHNOLOGY OR KNOWHOW TO "UPLOAD" THESE BUT WILL HAPPILY MAIL THESE.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 75 MPH FOR AROUND 30-40 MINUTES WHEN THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING AND BEGAN DECELERATING. I HAD MY FOOT ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE GAS PEDDLE AND IT JUST KEPT LOSING SPEED. LUCIKLY I WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO THE RIGHT LANE, BECAUSE I WANTED TO GET INTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE WHEN THE CAR FINALLY BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. THE CAR BEGAN ACTING NORMAL AFTER THAT UNTIL I GOT OFF THE EXIT RAMP ABOUT 10 MINS LATER. I STOPPED AT THE END OF THE RAMP AND WHEN IT WAS MY TURN TO GO THE CAR HAD AGAIN NO POWER. MY FOOT WAS PUSHING THE GAS PEDDLE TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR JUST BEGAN TO ROLL, I QUICKLY HAD TO TURN ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND ROLL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MY HUSBAND AND I WAITED FOR A FEW MOMENTS AND THEN THE CAR DROVE NORMAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES TO ME NOW, ALWAYS AFTER DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT 30-45 MINS. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING ONLINE AND HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE, BUT NISSAN REFUSES TO FILE ANY KIND OF RECALL. I HAVE OWNED A FEW NISSANS BUT AFTER THIS, AND READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM THIS IS MY LAST ONE. I COULD HAVE KILLED MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE IF THIS HAD CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT EVERYONE DRIVING A ROGUE IS DRIVING A TICKING BOMB SINCE YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND INVESTIGATED AS TO WHY NISSAN IS NOT FIXING AN ISSUE THAT THEY KNOW EXISTS. DO THEY CARE THAT LITTLE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS.

THE FIRST TIME THE INCIDENT HAPPENED I WAS EXITING THE EXPRESSWAY AND AFTER STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT THE CAR STARTED TO MAKE A WEIRD NOISE. WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE THROUGH THE GREEN LIGHT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FOR 15 SECONDS. I EVEN TRIED SLAMMING THE GAS PEDAL DOWN. AFTER THAT I WOULD ALWAYS HEAR A WHINING NOISE WHEN DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY OR A PROLONGED AMOUNT OF TIME. WHEN DRIVING OUT OF STATE TO TENNESSEE THE CAR STARTED TO DECREASE IN SPEED ON A HILL AND I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A COP. PULLING OVER AT A GAS I LET THE CAR SIT FOR 30 MINS. I TRIED TO RENTER THE EXPRESSWAY AND THE CAR STILL WOULD NOT MOVE. AFTER A WHILE I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK ON THE EXPRESSWAY. ONCE IN TENNESSEE THE CAR BARELY MADE IT UP THE HILLS I HAD TO TIME IT JUST RIGHT. ON THE WAY BACK TO GA THE CAR BEGAN THE ISSUES AGAIN AND WHILE TRYING TO PULL OFF THE CAR DECREASED IN SPEED SO QUICKLY I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A SEMI-TRUCK. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR THE ELECTRICAL RECALL THAT DID NOT HELP. THE CAR HAS HAD TWO COMPLETE TUNE UPS NOR HAS NOT WORKED. I REFUSE TO PAY OUT OF MY POCKET FOR ANOTHER TRANSMISSION; WHICH HAS NOT AIDED OTHERS IN THIS SAME SITUATION. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR A YEAR. EVERYDAY IT'S A GUESSING GAME IF THE CAR WILL EVER GET ME TO AND FROM WORK SAFELY.

I HAVE A 2010 NISSAN ROGUE THAT HAS 60,000 MILES AND THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS IT HAS BEGAN TO LOSE SPEED WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 65MPH. WHEN I WOULD PUSH ON THE GAS PEDAL IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 40MPH. THIS WOULD HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING LONGER THAN 1 HOUR AND WHEN GOING UPHILL. NONE OF THE SERVICE LIGHTS WOULD LIGHT UP, BUT IT WAS VERY SCARY DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY GOING 65MPH ONE MINUTE AND THEN 40MPH THE NEXT MINUTE, ESPECIALLY THIS HIGHWAY HAS A MINIMUM SPEED LIMIT OF 55MPH! THIS HAS BEEN MY ONLY REAL SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE OTHER THAN THE TIRES CONSTANTLY DEFLATING AND THE AWD DOES NOT DO AS WELL I EXPECTED IN THE SNOW.

SHORTLY AFTER I TOOK THIS OFF A LOT IN 2012, I EXPERIENCED A DECELERATION ON THE HIGHWAY. I LIVE IN ARIZONA, SO TRAVELING FROM PHOENIX TO FLAGSTAFF IS AT AN INCLINE AT PHOENIX IS ROUGHLY 3000 FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL AND FLAGSTAFF IS 7000. THE INCLINE HAPPENS JUST OVER 140 MILES, SO IT'S QUITE A CLIMB. THE CAR LOSSES ALL ACCELERATION ABILITY ON EACH AND EVERY INCLINE, FORCING ME TO FIND A SHOULDER (IF I CAN), WHERE I HAVE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES BEFORE TRYING AGAIN. MAGICALLY, THE CAR REGAINS SOME ACCELERATION, BUT IT QUICKLY HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS DUE THE THE CLIFF EDGES OR ROCK WALLS THAT LINE THIS ROAD. WHEN I COME TO A ALMOST SUDDEN STOP ON THIS TWO LANE HIGHWAY WHEN I JUST WENT AROUND A BLIND CORNER, THAT MEANS THAT I DON'T HAVE TIME TO ALERT THE CARS BEHIND ME THAT I AM AT A COMPLETE STOP. I HAVE HAD MANY CLOSE ENCOUNTERS LIKE THIS. I HAVE TRIED TO ASK THE DEALERS, MECHANICS AND TALK FORUMS ON THE SITUATION. THOUGH MANY PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS VERY PROBLEM, NOBODY SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. I HAVE RESORTED TO DRIVE IT IN THE CITY AND TAKE AN OLD, BUT MUCH MORE RELIABLE SUBARU FORESTER ON THESE TRIPS INSTEAD. THIS NISSAN HAS BEEN A THORN IN MY SIDE SINCE I PURCHASED IT, BUT I SEEM TO BE STUCK WITH IT. I HAVE TRIED TO CLEAN THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR, BUT IT DIDN'T HELP AT ALL. THE ALL WHEEL DRIVE CAN'T EVEN MAKE IT UP AN ICY INCLINE. I HATE THIS CAR.

STRAIGHT OUT THE LOT 13 MILES ON IT WHEN I PURCHASED IT. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED MY 2010 ROUGE, IT STARTED TO MAKE NOISES WHEN I WOULD GO OVER A DIP OR A SMALL BUMP ON THE ROAD (30,000 MILES OR SO). THE NOISE SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE. I TOOK IT IN 2-3 TIMES TO NISSAN THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IT ALSO STARTED MAKING A VIBRATING NOISE WHEN I WOULD BE IDLING AT A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE VIBRATING SOUND I WAS TOLD WAS DUE TO THE THROTTLE BEING DIRTY. I HAD THAT CLEANED AND A FEW MONTHS LATER IT STATED DOING AGAIN. MY ROUGE NOW HAS OVER 100,000 MILES ON IT AND IT IT STARTED LOOSING POWER AND IT IS NOT ACCELERATING ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS ON MY WAY TO DALLAS AND MY ROUGE WOULDN'T SPEED UP, I WAS DRIVING LIKE 78 MPH AND THEN DECELERATES TO 55 MPH, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THAT IT HAS HAPPENED, PRETTY SCARY STUFF. I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE NEXT EXIT AND CHECK OUT MY CAR. ONCE I TRIED TO GET ON THE ROAD AGAIN MY CAR REFUSED TO MOVE IT WAS ACTING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO TURN OFF, SORT OFF LIKE WHEN YOU MAKE AN ABRUPT STOP AND IT JERKS. IT TOOK OF VERY SLOWLY AND THEN AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT WAS BACK TO NORMAL.

2ND COMPLAINT OF REPEATED ISSUE, SUBSEQUENT OCCURRENCE. 2010 NISSAN ROGUE LOST POWER AND DECELERATED FROM 70 MPH TO APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY, HAZARDS APPLIED HOWEVER VEHICLES APPROACHING HAD TO CHANGE LANES. ON THIS OCCURRENCE A VEHICLE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED. PULLED OFF ROAD AND WHEN ACCELERATOR WAS DEPRESSED ENGINE REVVED TO APPROXIMATELY 2500 RPM WITH NO FORWARD MOTION THEN LURCHED FORWARD RAPIDLY ACCELERATING THEN LOST POWER AGAIN BEFORE RETURNING TO NORMAL OPERATION. NOTE THAT NISSAN DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, INSTRUCTED THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION WARRANTY HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO 120K MILES AND TO BRING TO DEALERSHIP. NISSAN STATES THIS IS THE RESULT OF TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING AND CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ENTER SAFETY (ALSO KNOWN AS LIMP) MODE.
