2010 Nissan Rogue

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE WENT INTO SAFE MODE AND INDEPENDENTLY DECELERATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE USUALLY OCCURRED AFTER TWO HOURS OF CONTINUOUS DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED BY THE MANUFACTURER FREE OF CHARGE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER INFORMATION WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 128,324.

THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING TO LEXINGTON FROM CHARLESTON AND ABOUT ONE HOUR AND 1/2 THE CAR WOULDN'T GO ANY FASTER AND THEN IT STARTED DROPPING SPEED PRETTY FAST , IT DROPPED ALL THE WAY TO 35 MPH, I HAD MY DAUGHTER IN THE CAR WITH ME SHE WAS SCARED TO DEATH SOMEONE WAS GOING TO HIT US, I PULLED ONTO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND SAT FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES STARTED IT BACK UP AND KEPT MY SPEED ABOUT 65MPH, AND IT WAS OKAY. IT JUST HAPPENED THIS WEEKEND WHEN I WAS DRIVING FROM CHARLESTON TO CHARLOTTE, ABOUT 45 MINUTES AWAY THE CAR WOULDNT GO ANY FASTER AND IT STARTED DROPPING SPEED FAST, HAD THE PETAL TO THE FLOOR AND NOTHING. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE AND LET IT SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES POPPED THE HOOD IT WAS NOT RUNNING HOT. I THEN PULLED OFF AGAIN TO TRY TO GET TO A GAS STATION AND IT STARTED UP AND THEN ABOUT 2 MINUTES PASSED AND IT WOULDNT GO ANY FASTER, PULLED OFF ON THE EXIT AND BARLEY MADE IT TO THE GAS STATION, THIS TIME I LET IT SIT FOR A GOOD 30 MINUTES OR SO. I THEN GOT BACK ON THE HWY BUT WOULDN'T GO OVER 65MPH AND IT WAS OKAY. THIS IS KNOWN ISSUE AND IT SEEMS LIKE NISSAN IS AWARE BUT THEY ARE DOING NOTHING TO FIX IT.. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO WARNING NO LIGHT COMES ON AND YOU JUST START DROPPING SPEED FAST, SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT OR KILLED THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL IMMEDIATELY!!!

AFTER APPROXIMATELY 2 HOURS OF DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE TRANSMISSION GOES INTO "LIMP" MODE. NISSAN STATES THIS IS THE RESULT OF THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING AND THE ONLY SOLUTION IS INSTALLING A NEW NISSAN EXTERNAL COOLER. CAR WILL BARELY REACH 55-60 MPH ESPECIALLY IF GOING UP HILL. ALSO, ONCE THE CAR IS STOPPED IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE QUICKLY. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED IT GAVE NO WARNING AND IT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE ACCELERATOR NOT RESPONDING WHEN MY ATTEMPTING TO TURN ACROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WITH SERIOUS INJURIES OR WORSE IF NOT ADDRESSED. THERE WAS NO WARNING THE TRANSMISSION HAD OVERHEATED AND GONE INTO THIS MODE. THE FIRST SIGN WAS THE CAR SIMPLY FAILING TO ACCELERATE WITH THE GAS PEDAL DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR. MULTIPLE TIMES THE CAR HAS JUST SUDDENLY DECELERATED IN HEAVY HIGHWAY TRAFFIC FROM 75 MPH TO 55 MPH AFTER ONLY 1.5-2 HOURS OF HIGHWAY DRIVING. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SIGNIFICANT DEFECT THAT IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. ALSO IT APPEARS THAT THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR A EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME WITH LITTLE TO NO EFFORT FROM THE MANUFACTURER TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE.

ON THE HIGHWAY GOING AN A 1.5 HOUR TRIP THE 2008-2010 ROUGE TRANSMISSION WILL OVER HEAT CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO "LIMP" MODE WITH NO WARNING WHICH MEANS IT HAS NO POWER. NISSAN SENT OUT A SERVICE BULLETIN TO THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENTS IN SEPTEMBER 2016 ACKNOWLEDGING THEIR IS A DEFECT AND THE FIX IS AN EXTERNAL COOLER BUT THEY REFUSE TO FIX MY CAR. IF A FAMILY OF 4 IS IN THE CAR AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR THE VEHICLE COULD GO INTO "LIMP" MODE AND WHEN THEY TRY TO PULL BACK ONTO THE HIGHWAY THEY COULD LOSE POWER RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND GET STRUCK BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND BE KILLED. WHO WOULD ANSWER FOR THAT? FLETCHER NISSAN IN JOPLIN MO ARE THE ONES WHO TOLD ME TO CONTACT YOU BECAUSE NISSAN CORPORATE ARE THE ONES REFUSING TO FIX THE ISSUE. IT HAS HAPPENED TO MY FAMILY SEVERAL TIMES IN OUR CAR. AT FIRST THEY SAID WE JUST NEEDED THE TRANSMISSION FLUSHED. WE BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 10000 MILES ON IT AND IT HAS BEEN DOING IT EVER SINCE WE HAVE HAD IT. LUCKILY I KNEW WHAT TO LOOK FOR AND KEPT MY FAMILY OUT OF HARMS WAY. JOSH HOUCHIN THE SERVICE MGR. AT FLETCHER NISSAN SAID THEY HAVE HAD 5 2008-2010 ROUGE VEHICLES COME IN IN JUST THE LAST FEW MONTHS WITH THE SAME DEFECT. SO IT IS NOT JUST MY VEHICLE. THEY NEED TO RECALL ALL THE AFFECTED VEHICLES BEFORE SOMEONE DIES BECAUSE OF THIS. THANK YOU

I BOUGHT NISSAN ROGUE 2010 WITH A CLEAN TITLE IN DECEMBER OF 2013. I STARTED HAVING SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR IN THE SPRING OF 2014. I BEGAN HEARING A WHINING SOUND ON ACCELERATION COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION WHILE DRIVING ON LONG ROAD TRIPS. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT UP UNTIL A YEAR LATER, WAS SUDDENLY UNABLE TO ACCELERATE WHEN GOING UP HILL OR DRIVING LONGER THAN 20 MILES. THE PEDAL WAS DOWN TO THE FLOOR BUT RATHER THAN PICK UP SPEED, THE VEHICLE WOULD DECELERATE AND WAS UNABLE TO REACH EVEN 40 MPH. IT STARTED HAPPENING MORE AND MORE OFTEN, AND I ALMOST GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT SEVERAL TIMES. I WENT TO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND FOUND OUT THAT NISSAN WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THEIR CVTS AND THAT THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS/120,000 MPH. HOWEVER, THEY WERE REFUSING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THERE WAS NO WAY TO DUPLICATE IT SINCE IT WOULD TAKE SEVERAL MILES OF DRIVING AROUND TO NOTICE ACCELERATION FAILURE. THE WHINING SOUND AND VIBRATION ARE NORMAL I WAS TOLD. AFTER GOING TO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS MULTIPLE TIMES AND TALKING WITH NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES, IN DECEMBER 2016 I WAS FINALLY TOLD THAT THERE'S NO EXTENDED WARRANTY ON MY VEHICLE BECAUSE NISSAN CANCELED MY CAR'S WARRANTY BACK IN 2014 BECAUSE OF A BRANDED TITLE. I CALLED DOL AND FOUND OUT THERE WAS A MISTAKE DONE. THEY FIXED MY TITLE AND THERE'S NO BRAND ON IT. NOW I GOT A CALL FROM A NISSAN CUSTOMER AFFAIR REP MR DARIES WHO INFORMED ME THAT THEY ARE WORKING ON GETTING THE BRAND OFF OF MY TITLE AND IT SHOULD TAKE 4-6 WEEKS BUT THEY ARE TRYING TO EXPEDITE IT. HE PROMISED HE WOULD CALL ME REGULARLY WITH AN UPDATE. IT'S BEEN ALMOST TWO MONTHS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. I CALLED SEVERAL TIMES LEAVING VOICEMAIL TO MR DARIES AND NEVER GOT A CALL BACK FROM HIM. I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE LONGER THAN 10 MILES WHEN MY CAR STARTS LOSING ACCELERATION AND HAS THIS HORRIBLE WHINING NOISE.

MY 2010 NISSAN ROGUE WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHEN GOING UPHILL ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN FLOORING THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR WILL SLOW DOWN FROM 70 TO 60 TO 50 TO 40 MPH ON A UPHILL (THERE WERE ONLY THREE PASSENGERS INCLUDING DRIVER). THE CAR TRANSMISSION WILL EVENTUALLY STOP WORKING UNTIL THE CAR COOLS DOWN. TOOK CAR TO A NISSAN SERVICE CENTER AND WAS REPAIRED UNDER NISSAN'S CVT 10 YEARS/120K MILES WARRANTY REFERENCING TSB NTB14-002E. THE VALVE BODY WAS REMOVED/REPLACED AND AN EXTERNAL COOLER WAS INSTALLED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE.
