2010 Nissan Rogue

2010 NISSAN ROGUE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY I-57 NORTHBOUND AROUND 159TH DOING THE SPEED LIMIT OF 60 THE CONJURING START SLOWING DOWN I PULLED OVER ON THE SHOULDER AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND IT WOULD START UP IT WOULDN'T SAY ANYTHING HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A MECHANIC SATURDAY MORNING MONDAY THEY TOLD ME THE TRANCE WISCONSIN CVT TRANS THE CAR IS HAS 84000 MILES 2010 EXCELLENT CONDITION NO MAJOR ISSUES AND THEY WON'T HONOR THE WARRANTY ON THE CAR

TAKATA RECALL. I TOOK MY NISSAN ROGUE IN FOR INSPECTION ON NOV. 30, 2017. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE REJECTED FOR THE AIRBAG LIGHT. I THEN TOOK IT TO NISSAN TO HAVE THEM TELL ME WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE $250 TO TELL ME WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY THAT WOULD BE I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC THAT DOES MY SERVICE AND HE SAID THAT IT WAS THE PASSENGER OCCUPANCY SENSOR. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT NISSAN HAD STATED TO THEM THAT IT WAS ON RECALL. I WAS A LITTLE CONFUSED SINCE THAT WAS NEVER STATED TO ME WHEN I WAS THERE. SO I RETURNED TO NISSAN AND THEN WAS TOLD NO SORRY EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A RECALLED ITEM ON MILLIONS OF VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, IT WAS NOT ON MY VEHICLES. IT WOULD BE $2300 JUST FOR THE PART TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT WAS BEING TOLD TO ME. I CONTACTED THE NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPT. AND WAS TOLD AFTER SEVERAL CALLS THAT SINCE I DIDN'T HAVE A WARRANTY ANY LONGER THAT THE "RECALLED ITEM" WOULD NOT BE COVERED. I AM TRULY CONFUSED IT A KNOWN ITEM IS RECALLED ON MILLIONS OF VEHICLES I CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW IT IS NOT ON MY VEHICLE. I KNOW IF AN ITEM IS RECALLED AND KNOWN TO BE FAULTY HOW CAN THEY SAY IF YOU DON'T HAVE A WARRANTY WE CAN'T REPAIR IT UNLESS YOU PAY ABOUT $3000. PLEASE HELP ME TO GET THIS RESOLVED. I HAVE SPOKE TO SEVERAL PERSONS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND I REALLY NEED YOU TO HELP WITH THIS. THIS IS TRULY A SAFETY ISSUE AND I CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW NISSAN CAN JUST DISREGARD THIS. THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP WITH THIS MATTER.

VEHICLE WAS AT 109500 MILES, OIL CHANGE 6 MONTHS PRIOR AND DUE FOR OIL CHANGE AT 110000 MILES. NO IRREGULAR NOISES AND NO WARNING LIGHTS. WAS DRIVING IN THE CITY FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND ON HIGHWAY FOR FIVE MORE MINUTES. NOTICED BURNING SMELL IN CITY BUT WAS BEHIND A TRUCK AND DISMISSED IT AS THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF PROBLEMS IN MY CAR. ABOUT FIVE MINUTES LATER, ON I-90 EB IN MT BAKER TUNNEL, NOTICED FLAMES COMING OUT OF THE FRONT LEFT HOOD. PULLED OVER AND CALLED 911. WSDOT RESPONDED TO INCIDENT, AND GEICO DEEMED CAR A TOTAL LOSS. NISSAN SENT INSPECTOR WHO SAID THEY DID NOT FIND MANUFACTURER DEFECT. GEICO INSPECTOR SAID THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE DUE TO EXTENT OF DAMAGE.

WHILE DRIVING MY WIFES 2010 NISSAN ROGUE SL FWD IS SHOWED 62 MILES LEFT BEFORE EMPTY ON THE FUEL GAUGE. THE CAR DIED ON A WINDING BACK COUNTRY ROAD WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF SOMEONE WERE TO COME OVER A BLIND HILL AND HIT US. THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED RUNNING, I LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. GOT THE CAR STOPPED AND HAD TO CALL THE POLICE TO COME OUT AND FLAG DOWN ON-COMING TRAFFIC THAT WE WERE STOPPED AHEAD. THE CAR WOULD TURN OVER BUT NOT START, ACTING AS IF IT WERE OUT OF GAS EVEN THOUGHT THE FUEL GAUGE SAID 60 MILES TO EMPTY. HAD TO GET A RIDE TO GET FUEL AND CAR STARTED RIGHT UP. THIS OBVIOUSLY SHOWS THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT OR GAUGE IS NOT CALIBRATED PROPERLY AND CAUSED A WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS OR DEADLY SITUATION. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NISSAN ROGUES AS WELL AS OTHER MODELS BUT NO RECALL OR TSB HAS BEEN ISSUED.

WHEN THE CVT TRANSMISSION GETS HOT THE POWER FROM ENGINE TO TRANSMISSION BEGINS TO REDUCE. THIS SAFETY FEATURE LEADS TO MASSIVE FUEL CONSUMPTION AS WELL AS COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS CAUSED MYSELF TO BE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THIS "SAFETY FEATURE" DIDN'T START DOING THIS UNTIL 50 MILES PAST THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. AT FIRST IT WOULD TAKE HOURS OF DRIVING BEFORE THIS WOULD HAPPEN AND IT SEEMS LIKE EACH TIME IT HAPPENED IT TOOK LESS AND LESS DRIVING TIME BEFORE IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. CURRENTLY MY ROGUE IS AROUND 150K MILES AND I CAN'T GO MORE THAN 20 MILES BEFORE IT HAPPENS. I TOOK THE ROGUE INTO SHOPS FOR A FULL TUNE-UP EVERY30K MILES TRYING TO BE SURE IT LAST FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE, SO I KNOW IT ISN'T AN ISSUE OF NEGLECT. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE TRYING TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM AND ALL I HAVE FOUND ARE THOUSANDS OF OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. SOME OWNERS HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM BEGIN AS EARLY AS THE 10K MARK. SINCE THE INTRODUCTION OF THE CVT TRANSMISSION EVERY VEHICLE IT IS USED IN HAS THIS PROBLEM. NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IT CAUSES A DEATH FROM PURE NEGLECT ON THEIR PART. I'VE OWNED 4 NISSAN VEHICLES AND LOVED THEM ALL BUT HIS IS THE FIRST ONE I HAD THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT PAST 100K MILES BEFORE HAVING A MAJOR ISSUE.

THE STEERING COLUMN COIL FAILED, CAUSING AIR BAG TO BECOME FAULTY AND POWER STEERING TO FAIL. ABILITY OF THE AIR BAG TO DEPLOY OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING. THEN, AFTER "REPAIRING" THE STEERING COLUMN COIL, THE POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE DRIVING AND MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO REPAIR THIS RELATED ISSUE. THESE ISSUES IMPACT ABILITY OF DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG TO DEPLOY, ABILITY TO TURN AND STEER.
