2011 Nissan Rogue

Just bought my 2011 Nissan Rogue today and drove around off and on all day with no issues. I went to my son's house for approximately 5 minutes (left car running) and when I went to leave I had no acceleration. I tried pushing on the gas pedal with no luck. It literally coasted about a block before it finally stopped moving. I made a few phone calls and was told to shut the car off for about 5 minutes (which I did) and then turn it back on (which I did) and I put it in drive and it was all of a sudden fine. I feel as if there has been more than enough complaints regarding this issue with the 2011 Nissan Rogue and nhtsa should address this matter with Nissan who should be held accountable for this. I personally bought the vehicle based on all the good things I was told about it but now, not even 24 hours after buying it, I am regretting my decision. I should have stuck with my kia soul (she never let me down)!! I feel this is a HUGE safety issue

The contact owns a 2011 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while her daughter was driving approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact noticed that the vehicle was jerking prior to the failure. The driver depressed the brake pedal but was concerned about the vehicle moving. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified however, no further assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 82,000. The VIN was not available.

I own a 2011 Nissan Rouge, it has 110k miles in it. We’ve taken care of it since we purchased it in 2015, prompt maintenance (with all receipts) new tires etc. As soon as the car hit 100k miles it started acting “funny”. It would jerk when we drove it, when we reversed it would make a weird noise as well. Took it to auto body shop every time and they couldn’t find anything wrong with it, no error lights on the dashboard either. It only got worse from there, when the second I would stop at a red light the car would turn off, all the dashboard lights on so I would have to turn the key as if I was turning it off and put it on park then turn it back on and turn it on Drive to go. There were a few times that cars came close to hitting me because I was idled at a green light. Then last week on Saturday July 10th, I was coming back home, stopped at a red light, as the light turns green I pushed on the gas pedal, the car wouldn’t move one bit but engine was on. I pulled over to see what was going on, the car wouldn’t drive anymore. Called a tow truck and had it towed to my House as the auto shops were not taking any more appts. On Monday I had it towed and the shop tells me it’s the transmission and quoted me over $4,000. I called Nissan North America after researching that this is a known issue for Rouges and Nissan has been notified by multiple consumers. I was hopeful that they would help me out but waited for the Supervisor to call me back and called me end of day and with non apologetic tells me Nissan can’t do anything about it, that I can take it to a dealership and pay out of pocket because warranty is expired. I explained they have a lot of cases opened because they’re selling cars with bad transmissions and he just asks “is there anything else I can do for sure” totally brushing me off. Buyer beware! Do not buy Rouges. My coworker had a 2012 Nissan Rouge and same issue as soon as it hit 100k miles. My neighbor has a new Rouge and has had issues with transmission

The CVT transmission would over heat numerous times on long trips. This would slow me down in traffic or going up hills. Also, when exiting a freeway and stopping merging into traffic was dangerous on numerous occasions due to now coming from the transmission. The Nissan CVT has been recalled, been subject to numerous lawsuits. In fact Nissan has extended the warranty on the Rogue transmission up to the year 2010 and from 2012 but has continuously ignored the 2011 Rogue. I just recently had to have the transmission rebuilt on my 2011 Rogue. If I had known about this earlier I could have taken preventative measures.

I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE THAT MOST PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT. VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE AFTER BEING DRIVEN FOR 45 MINUTES OR LONGER. HAPPENED TO ME FOUR TIMES WHILE DRIVING FOR 2 HOURS. ONCE ON THE HIGHWAY AND THREE OTHER TIMES ON A CITY ROAD WITH VEHICLES STUCK BEHIND ME. ONE OF THOSE TIMES I HAD NO WHERE TO PULL OFF AND SAT ON THE ROAD. THIS SHOULD BE A MAJOR CONCERN FOR NISSAN AND THE NHTSA. SOONER OR LATER SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR WORSE. INSTEAD, WE ARE POURING OUR MONEY INTO A VEHICLE WITH NO WAY TO FIX IT. I HAVE ABOUT 100,000 MILES AND KEPT A GOOD JOB OF MAINTENANCE ON THE VEHICLE. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS SITUATION!

ANOTHER IN THE LONG LIST OF PEOPLE WHO ARE EXPERIENCING VEHICLE DISABLING FEATURES DUE TO NISSAN'S ENGINEERING FAILURES. IT'S WILD THAT THERE ISN'T MORE PROTECTION FROM HUGE CORPORATE BULLIES LIKE NISSAN. GARBAGE PRODUCT WITH NO TRUST BEHIND THE NAME. MY HOPE IS THAT PEOPLE READ THESE AND START TELLING NISSAN WITH YOUR WALLETS. DON'T BUY. JUST LIKE THE OTHERS WHEN CAR IS IN USE FOR MORE THAN 45 MINUTES, HEAT CAUSES THE GOVERNOR TO DISABLE SPEED TO THE POINT WHERE MY FAMILY HAS ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THIS ISN'T A ONE TIME OCCURRENCE, IT HAPPENS WEEKLY. NISSAN CLAIMS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG AND/OR NO FIX. CAR IS WORTH NOTHING AND IS BARELY WORTH DRIVING. WAY TO STICK IT TO THE LITTLE GUY NISSAN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, SHE HEARD AN ABNORMAL SOUND COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT DROVE TO HER DESTINATION WITH THE SOUND STILL PRESENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REFERRED THE CONTACT TO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT METAL SHAVINGS WERE FOUND IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000.

WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ON HIGHWAY AND SECONDARY ROADS I NOTICED A LOSS OF POWER AND SLIPPAGE OF THE TRANSMISSION. I TOOK TO A LOCAL SHOP SEVERAL TIMES BUT WASN'T ABLE TO DIAGNOSE. I FINALLY TOOK TO A NISSAN DEALER ( MCGUIRE NISSAN OF SYRACUSE ) AND THEY DIAGNOSED AS A BAD TRANSMISSION. THEY GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE TO INSTALL NEW TRANSMISSION AND OIL COOLER FOR TRANSMISSION FOR $5,300.00 PLUS TAX. I THEN DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE NISSAN AND FOUND OUT THAT NISSAN HAD ALOT OF ISSUES WITH THEIR TRANSMISSIONS , SO MANY THAT THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FROM 5 YEAR - 60,000 MILES TO 10 YEAR - 120,000 MILES ON MOST OF THEIR VEHICLES. I CONTACTED NISSAN DIRECTLY AND THEY SAID THIS DOESN'T PERTAIN TO MY 2011 AS IT ONLY COVERED THE 2003 THRU 2010. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 74,000 MILES. DURING MY RESEARCH I READ THAT A LOT OF THESE TRANSMISSIONS WERE ONLY GOOD FOR 80,000 MILES AND THAT IS WHY THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY. ULTIMATELY I WAS COMPELLED TO GET THIS FIXED FROM MCGUIRE OF SYRACUSE AND WITH TAX COST ME $5,791.54. I BELIEVE THAT MY CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL AS THE ISSUES ARE THE SAME AS THE OTHER YEARS THAT HAD ISSUES. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
