2010 Nissan Rogue

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, OTHER DRIVER'S ALERTED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE BECAME ENGULFED IN FLAMES AND THE CONTACT HAD TO EXIT THE VEHICLE THROUGH A WINDOW. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. A POLICE REPORT AND A FIRE REPORT WERE FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V032000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,200.

ON FEB 4, 2015 I WAS CALLED BY POLICE DEPT THAT MY CAR ALARM WAS SOUNDING I WENT OUT TO CAR AND TRIED TO SILENCE ALARM WITH REMOTE,BUT THAT DID NOT WORK HAD TO USE KEY IN REMOTE TO OPEN TRIED TO START DID NOT START OPENED HOOD AND DISCONNECTED WIRE TO BATTERY UPON ENTERING CAR SMELLED BURNT WIRE AND SAW THAT THE KICK PANEL WIRING HARNESS CONNECTER WAS ALL BURNT UP A BIG WHOLE IN TOP OF DASH, BURNT AND CRACKED WINDOW GLASS, THINGS INSIDE CAR BURNT UP. CALLED INSURANCE COMPANY TO REPORT. ON FEB 9 CALLED NISSAN AND REPORTED THE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME SOMEONE WOULD GET BACK TO ME IN 2 DAYS TODAY IS THE 2ND DAY AND I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING YET. I AM GOING TO CALL THEM AGAIN TODAY. IF I HAD BEEN IN THE CAR I WOULD HAVE BEEN BADLY BURNT OR DEAD. *TR

VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY LOSE POWER, ESPECIALLY ON INCLINES OR IN HOT WEATHER. WHILE TRAVELING UP MOUNTAIN ROAD, VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND I WAS NEARLY REAR-ENDED AS OTHER VEHICLES COMING UP THE ROAD ROUNDED THE CORNER AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED. WHILE LEAVING THE PALM SPRINGS AREA, VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING IN HEAT EXCEEDING 95 DEGREES. AFTER EXITING FREEWAY, VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND CARS EXITING THE FREEWAY AT HIGHER RATES OF SPEED HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID MY VEHICLE. NISSAN HAS REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION ON THREE OCCASIONS AND EACH TIME THE PROBLEM HAS RECURRED. *TR

TWO MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THIS CAR AT CORAL SPRINGS NISSAN, FL. I WAS DRIVING TO MIAMI WHEN THE CAR LOOSE POWER FROM 70 MPH WENT TO 40 MPH THE CAR COULD NOT ACCELERATE ANYMORE IT WAS VERY SCARY. THIS PROBLEM ONLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU DRIVE FOR MORE THAN 1 HOUR. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY ONLY DID A TEST DRIVE FOR MAYBE 30 MINUTES. ONE YEAR AFTER THE INITIAL PROBLEM THE CAR LOOSE POWER QUITE OFTEN I ONLY NEED TO DRIVE LESS THAN 30 MINUTES, AND THE CAR CANNOT ACCELERATE IS LIKE IT GOES TO NEUTRAL WHEN I AM AT THE STOP SIGN, MAKING AN U-TURN, A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN. I AM AFRAID TO HAVE A CAR ACCIDENT. I AM VERY SURPRISE AFTER READING OTHERS COMPLAINTS THAT NISSAN HAS NOT TAKE ANY ACTION TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THERE IS CLEARLY AN ACCELERATION PROBLEM WITH THE 2010 NISSAN ROGUE; OVER 900,000 PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED AND A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED. IT SEEMS THAT THE CAR HAS PROBLEMS ACCELERATING AFTER IT WAS STOPPED. IT TYPICALLY DID THIS IF YOU WERE EITHER STOPPED ON A HILL OR IF YOU STOPPED AFTER DRIVING HIGH SPEEDS ON THE INTERSTATE. AFTER SEVERAL INCIDENTS OVER THE COURSE OF 3 MONTHS (I PURCHASED VEHICLE AUGUST 2014), THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT IS NOW ON. I HAVE JUST A LITTLE OVER 38,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE LOSS OF ACCELERATION IS DANGEROUS FOR BOTH EXITING THE INTERSTATE AND TURNING RIGHT ON RED. *TR

DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE VEHICLE WOULD REFUSE TO ACCELERATE TO PASS A VEHICLE. HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES ON A 1 HOUR ROAD TRIP, CAUSING NEAR FATALITY AS CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE UP A HILL AND WHEN IN THE COURSE OF PASSING A DISABLEDVEHICLE, THE CAR WOULD NOT SPEED UP ENOUGH TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC SPEED IN ADJACENT LANE, CAUSING DRIVER BEHIND VEHICLE TO SLAM ON BRAKES TO AVOID COLLISION. THE VEHICLE REFUSED TO ACCELERATE THE REMAINDER OF THE TRIP (1 HOUR MORE) AND ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. *TR
