2011 Nissan Rogue

TL* THE CONTACT'S MOTHER OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING TWICE WHILE DRIVING. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS PLACED IN DRIVE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHILE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE CVT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 132,000.

I'VE NOTICED THAT EVEN AN ADULT PASSANGER IS SEATED ON THE FRONT PASSANGER SEAT, A YELLOW AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE CENTER CONSOLE, AND AT THE VERY SAME TIME, A RED WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH COMES ON,AND REMAINS ON. TOOK CAR TO UNIVERSAL CITY NISSAN, BUT THEY DID NOT SERVICE IT. THEY DID INDICATE THAT THE SENSOR IS FAULTY AND DOES NEED REPAIR. AND ESTIMATE$1200 TO REPAIR. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND, IT SEEMS A SAFTY MATTER, AND I BELIEVE IT SHOUL BE COVERED BY MY WARRANTY. PLEASE HELP ME FIND OUT WHY I HAVE TO DRIVE AROUND WORRIED IF THIS SAFETY DEVICE WILL NOT CAUSE INJURY, OR AND ACCIDENT,OR ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT. THE LIGHTS WERE RESET BY NISSAN, BUT AS I DROVE A BLOCK, THE LIGHT ACTIVATED WITH AN ADULT IN THE SEAT. I WANT NISSAN TO PUT IT IN WRITEING, IF THEY CAN REASURE ME THAT THIS IS NOT A SAFTY ISSUE. AND ASSURE ME THAT THERE IS NO DANGER OF AIRDAGS BEING DEFECTIVE. IF THERE IS A WARNING LIGHT, THEN THERE EXISTS A PROBLEM.

CVT TRANSMISSION AND COOLER - VEHICLE RANDOMLY DROPS ACCELERATION. WHEN ACCELERATION DROPS, THE CAR WILL NOT GO ABOVE 40MPH EVEN IF YOU PUT THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, AND THE RPMS RISE TO 8. NO RHYME OR REASON. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS TRANSMISSION. NISSAN ONLY EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 2010 MODELS, YET THIS IS THE EXACT ISSUE COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THERE ARE MANY OTHER NISSAN OWNERS WITH 2011 MODELS WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE.

I BEGAN TO DRIVE THIS 2011 NISSAN ROGUE AND NOTICED WHEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, WHEN IT TURNED GREEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS ACCELERATOR AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER AND OVER AGAIN. WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING A SPEED OF 70 MILES MY CAR BEGAN TO LOOSE POWER, AND SPEED. IT WENT AS LOW AS 40 MILES AND I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT. I WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN HIGHWAY SPEED. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR INDICATORS EVER CAME ON. NEITHER WITH THE FIRST ISSUE, OR THE SECOND ISSUE. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING. I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 6 YR OLD WHO HAS SPECIAL NEEDS THE FIRST TIME. I BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY THINKING THAT WOULD HELP. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN, WHILE DRIVING WITH MY TWO BOYS AND TWO GRANDSON'S IN THE CAR. I AGAIN LOST POWER AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY ON THE HIGHWAY. CARS WERE FLYING BY ME, AND I FELT HELPLESS AS THIS VEHICLE WOULDN'T MAINTAIN A PROPER HI-WAY SPEED. VERY DEBILITATING. SCARY WHEN YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER YOUR VEHICLE SPEED, AND CAN'T ACCELERATE. NISSAN STATES THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THE CVT. THEY HAVE AGREED TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION AS IT HAS ALSO FAILED. BUT REFUSE TO PAY FOR THE WORK?? PLEASE HELP, AS I AM SURE I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON GOING THROUGH THIS RIGHT NOW. SO IF THEY REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION WHO'S TO SAY IT WONT HAPPEN AGAIN???

WHILE DRIVING LONG DISTANCES AT HIGH SPEEDS (75-80MPH) THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING EVEN WITH GAS PEDAL FLOORED. THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY DECELERATED TO 50 MPH AND MAXED OUT AT 60 MPH. WE PULLED THE CAR OVER AND CHECKED ALL FLUIDS, WHICH PROVED NORMAL. WE TURNED THE CAR OFF TO LET IT COOL FOR A FEW MINUTES. ONCE THE CAR WAS TURNED BACK ON IT DROVE NORMALLY FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND THEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. THIS PATTERN CONTINUED FOR THE ENTIRE 7 HOUR ROAD TRIP. ONCE WE TOOK THE CAR INTO A NISSAN SHOP, WE WERE TOLD THAT NOTHING WAS FOUND DURING DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. WE WERE ALSO TOLD THIS WAS A REOCCURRING PROBLEM WITH NISSAN ROGUES DUE TO OVERHEATING OF TRANSMISSION/TRANSMISSION FLUID. IT WAS EXPLAINED TO US THAT NISSAN HAS NOT MADE A RECALL ON THIS, BUT HAS ONLY PROVIDED WARRANTIES FOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES ON 2008-2010 MODELS. UNFORTUNATELY MINE IS A 2011. THIS PUT MY FAMILY IN VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS AS WE WERE ON INTERSTATES WITH CARS AND SEMI TRUCKS TRAVELING AT VERY HIGH VELOCITIES. SEMI TRUCKS WERE HONKING AND FLASHING LIGHTS AT US OUT OF ANGER AS IT PUT THEM IN DANGER AS WELL. THIS COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED A ROAD RAGE INCIDENT.

IN RESPONSE TO THE CAR SHUTTERING AROUND 25 TO 35 MPH, WE TOOK THE CAR TO OUR LOCAL MECHANIC. HE REPORTS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND WILL REQUIRE A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT BY A NISSAN DEALER BECAUSE HE WAS AWARE OF ALL OF THE PROBLEMS THAT NISSAN WAS HAVING. HE INFORMED OF OF A NATIONAL RECALL ON EARLIER MODELS FOR THE SAME REASON. HE STATED THAT THEY CLEARLY HAVE NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. WITH FURTHER ON-LINE RESEARCH, WE HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2011 MODELS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED RAPIDLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GATES NISSAN OF RICHMOND, KENTUCKY WHERE THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WOULD NOT BE FULLY RESOLVED UNTIL A COOLER WAS PLACED INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND STATED THAT THE PART NEEDED (COOLER) WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT HEARD A WHINING NOISE AND THE RPM GAUGE DISPLAYED A HIGH READING. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED A BURNING ODOR AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT DID NOT SEE ANY FIRE OR SMOKE, AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS NOT CONTACTED. NO COMPONENTS WERE FOUND TO HAVE MELTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO REED NISSAN (3776 W COLONIAL DR, ORLANDO, FL 32808), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE CONTACT DID HAVE INFORMATION REGARDING THE NECESSARY REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

WE PURCHASED A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE AT THE END OF 2010, AND IT WAS A GOOD CAR IN THE BEGINNING, HOWEVER, I STARTED TO NOTICE SMALL THINGS HERE AND THERE THAT WEREN'T THAT GREAT. BUT THEY WOULD COME AND GO. THEN ONE DAY I OPENED THE LEFT REAR DOOR HANDLE, AND IT BROKE OFF!! IT LOOKED LIKE A CHEAP PIECE OF PLASTIC YOU SEE AT THE DOLLAR STORE. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN AND THEY WANTED $550!!! RIDICULOUS! I FOUND A GOOD HONEST MECHANIC PLACE AND THEY EVEN REDUCED THE COST SINCE IT ONLY TOOK THEM 15 MINS TO REPLACE IT! ONLY COSTED ME $80! SO NOW AND AGAIN IT HAS ALSO BEEN LOSING RPMS AND HAVING DIFFICULTY SPEEDING UP. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING FROM WORK AND ON THE FREEWAY, AND THE RPMS STOPPED AT 4000 AND FROZE. I WOULDN'T GO OVER 60MPH! HE WAS SCARED AND PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HE CHECKED THE OIL (IT WAS PERFECT), THE INSIDE AND SAW NOTHING. HE SAID HE SMELT A FIRE TYPE SMELL WHILE IN THE INSIDE OF THE CAR, BUT NO FIRES. HE SLOWLY GOT OVER AND PULLED OFF OF THE FREEWAY AND INTO A CAR PLACE TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. I CALLED NISSAN AS THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE NISAN ROGUE. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY STATED THAT IT WAS THE 2010 ROGUE. MINE IS THE 2011 ROGUE WHICH WAS PURCHASED AT THE END OF 2010. SO I AM SUPPOSE TO BELIEVE THAT THEY SOMEHOW PUT A BETTER CVT TRANSMISSION IN MY ROGUE WHICH IS NOT THAT FAR OFF FROM THE 2010 THAT HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND RECALL ON IT?? HARDLY, I HAVE SEEN MANY MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE ABOUT THIS VEHICLE AND EXACT YEAR. I'VE EVEN CALLED ABOUT OUR ROGUE A FEW TIMES WHEN I'VE HEARD ABOUT RECALLS, BUT THEY'VE ALWAYS TOLD ME IT'S ONLY 2010 AND MY CAR SHOULD BE FINE. OBVIOUSLY IT'S NOT FINE, AND THE CAR IS CRAP. NISSAN SHOULD STAND BY THEIR PRODUCTS , AND THEY ARE NOT . THEY WILL CONTINUE TO LOSE GOOD CUSTOMERS THAT ARE HARD WORKING AMERICANS WHO PAY THEIR BILLS.
