2010 Nissan Rogue

I ACQUIRED A 2010 NISSAN ROGUE SL AWD, WITH LOW MILEAGE, IN OCTOBER 2019. IN EARLY OCTOBER 2020 ABOUT 20 MILES OUTSIDE OF WASHINGTON, DC TRAVELING FROM NC THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. OF COURSE THIS UNNERVED ME. I STOPPED TWICE TO VISUALLY AND MANUALLY CHECK THE TIRE AIR PRESSURE USING A PRESSURE GAUGE. NO PROBLEM WITH THE PRESSURE. ONCE IN DC I WENT TO A SERVICE STATION/MECHANIC SHOP IN MARYLAND AND HAD THE MECHANIC CHECK THE PROBLEM. HE CHECKED THE TIRE PRESSURE AND FILLED ALL TIRES WITH AN ADDITIONAL 5 POUNDS OF AIR (FROM 35 TO 40) AND STATED THAT THE WOBBLING WOULD LIKELY NOT CAUSE ANY SERIOUS PROBLEM BUT THE ADDITIONAL AIR SHOULD CURED. THE ADDED AIR SEEMED TO HAVE WORKED. WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS I WAS BACK ON THE HIGHWAY HEADED SOUTH. I REALIZED THE PROBLEM HAD NOT GONE AWAY. I DETERMINED THAT AT LOW CITY SPEEDS THE PROBLEM DID NOT PRESENT ITSELF. THE PROBLEM SURFACES WHEN AT HIGHER HIGHWAY SPEEDS, MOSTLY WHEN THE BRAKE IS ENGAGED. SINCE BEING BACK IN CONCORD, NC I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE PLACE ON A LIFT, AT A NON-DEALER SHOP, AND CHECKED. THE MECHANIC DROVE MY VEHICLE AND COULD NOT FIND ANY OTHER ISSUES. HE SUGGESTED THAT I PURCHASE FOUR NEW TIRES, CITING THAT ALTHOUGH THERE IS STILL SUFFICIENT TREAD THE TIRES MAY HAVE AN INTERNAL ISSUE. I SPOKE TO ANOTHER MECHANIC WHO SUGGESTED THAT A 'TIE ROD' MAY BE THE PROBLEM. ON THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2020 I HAD PLANS TO PURCHASE NEW TIRES. AFTER SEEING THE WSOC NEWS OF SIMILAR EXPERIENCES OF OTHERS, I WILL FIRST TAKE MY VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALER FOR EVALUATION AND DOCUMENTATION. AT THIS TIME I DON'T HAVE ANY DOCUMENTATION TO SUBMIT.

WHEN PARKING AT FRIENDS HOUSE WITH STEEP SLOPPING YARD COULD NOT GET CAR STOPPED PRIOR TO HITTING TREE STUMP. IMPACT WAS FRONT BUMPER RIGHT OF CENTER. AIRBAG ON PASSENGER SIDE DEPLOYED BUT FAIL TO KEEP PASSENGER FROM HITTING AND CUTTING TOP OF HEAD ON SUN VISOR AND WIND SHIELD RESULTING IN 25 STAPLES TO TOP OF HEAD. WHEN BAG DEPLOYED IT NEVER WENT HIGHER THAN WHERE IT CAME OUT OF DASH THEN INSTANTLY FELL TOWARDS FLOOR. DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY CAUSING DRIVERS CHEST TO STRIKE STEERING WHEEL, ONLY SORE CHEST RESULTED. CONCERNS ARE PASSENGER AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYING PROPERLY AND DRIVERS AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYING AT ALL.*DT*DT*DT*JB*JB*JB

I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT ON A BACKROAD HIGHWAY & NOTICED THE DRIVER HEADLIGHT OUT SO I STARTED USED MY BRIGHTS, THEN NOTICED SMOKE & FLAMES COMING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER CALLED 911 & TRIED POURING WATER ON IT MYSELF WHILE I WAIT. TOOK ABOUT 8 MINS FOR POLICE & MAYBE 12-15 FOR FIRE DEPARTMENT. THE POLICE TRIED TO USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER WHICH DID NOT WORK, BY THE TIME FIRE DEPARTMENT GOT THERE THE WHOLE CAR WAS COMPLETELY UP IN FLAMES & BURNT TO THE GROUND.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT DRIVING AT 20 MPH AND EXITING THE ON RAMP, THE VEHICLE STALLED AS THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS. THE POLICE PULLED THE DRIVER OVER DUE TO THE VEHICLE REVERSING IN THE INTERSTATE WHEN SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CONTACTED AND EXTINGUISHED THE FLAMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BY THE POLICE TO A LOT WHERE IT WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. NO DEALER WAS CONTACTED. THE CONTACT BELIEVED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V401000 (EQUIPMENT) AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO THE FAILURE THAT OCCURRED HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED WITH THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 179,000.

MY CAR IS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AFTER STOPPING. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS AS I HAVE HAD CLOSE CALLS FOR BEING IN SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. I AM SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ANYWHERE BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE AS THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2020 AND HAVE CHILDREN THAT ARE IN THE CAR WITH ME. I HAVE NEVER FEARED FOR OUR SAFETY IN ANY VEHICLE THAT I HAVE OWNED PREVIOUSLY. THE RPM'S ALSO GO HIGH AND SWITCHES GEARS ONLY WHEN I LET OFF THE GAS. THESE ARE PROBLEMS THAT HAVE EVERY TIME THAT I DRIVE THE VEHICLE. AS A SINGLE MOM I'M AT MY WHITT'S END AND NEED THIS PROBLEM FIXED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY.

WITH DAUGHTER DRIVING IN MOUNTAINS. AFTER APPX. 2 HOURS OF DRIVING THE CAR WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE BEYOND 40MPH ON 65 MPH HIGHWAY. EVEN SLOWER ON HILLS, NO POWER.A LOT OF SEMIS AND CARS HONKING BUT NO PLACE TO PULL OVER.FELT WE COULD BE RAMMED FROM BEHIND AT ANY MOMENT. TERRIFYING.SUBSEQUENT CHECK ONLINE REVEALED THIS IS SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THERE HAVE BEEN LOTS OF COMPLAINTS. WHY HAS NOTHING BEEN DONE? IF EVER A RECALL WAS NEEDED THIS IS IT. WORSE THAN AN AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYING IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAS POTENTIAL TO BE THE CAUSE OF MANY ACCIDENTS. MOST VEHICLES ON I-70 EXCEED THE 65MPH SPEED LIMIT AND A CAR GOING LESS THAN THE MIN REQUIRED SPEED IS AT GREAT RISK. DO SOMETHING!! MORE INFO ON THIS PROBLEM IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. JUST GOOGLE NISSAN ROGUE ACCELERATION PROBLEM.

I WAS DRIVING ON I70 FROM LAKEWOOD, CO TO NEW CASTLE, CO AND ABOUT HALF WAY THROUGH THE DRIVE, NO MATER WHAT GEAR I WAS IN OR HOW HARD I PUSH THE GAS PEDDLE DOWN (FLOORED IT), MY CAR WOULD ONLY GO 35-40 MPH ON THE HILLS. I WAS ON A HIGHWAY WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 65 AND IN SOME PLACES 75 AND IT IS VERY UNSAFE TO BE STUCK GOING ONLY 35-40 MILES AN HOUR.
