2011 Nissan Rogue

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS 75MPH ALL OF A SUDDEN MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO ANY FASTER THAN 40 MPH, ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR. THIS HAPPENED TO ME ON A FEW DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, HOWEVER NO WARNING LIGHTS EVER CAME ON. IF I PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF IT SEEMED TO PERFORM "NORMAL" AGAIN. AND THIS ONLY HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING A LONG DISTANCE. UPON THE RETURN FROM MY LAST "LONG" TRIP A LIGHT DID COME ON. I TOOL IT TO MY DEALER IMMEDIATELY. THE DIAGNOSIS IN A VALVE BODY, WHICH I UNDERSTAND IS INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. THE FACTORY WARRANTY HAS RUN OUT (BY 6,000 MILES) AT THIS POINT AND THE DEALER IS SAYING THAT THEY WONT REPLACE THE VALVE BODY WITHOUT PUTTING AN "EXTERNAL COOLANT" ON AT THE SAME TIME, BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT NISSAN IS SAYING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. MY 3RD PARTY WARRANTY COMPANY WILL ONLY COVER THE COST OF THE VALVE BODY REPLACEMENT, BECAUSE THEY FEEL IT IS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE GOING GOOD FOR. NISSAN WANTS TO CHARGE ME $1000.00 FOR THAT EXTERNAL COOLANT!!!! AFTER DOING MY RESEARCH, THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM AND UP UNTIL MODEL YEAR 2010 NISSAN WAS GOING GOOD FOR THE ISSUE. ANYTHING BEYOND 2010 THEY WILL NOT. AFTER CONTACTING NISSAN TO REQUEST ASSISTANCE FOR THIS, THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY REQUEST WAS DENIED AND THAT THIS IS WHERE THEY STAND. MY BIGGER ISSUE IS THAT HOW CAN A COMPANY AS REPUTABLE AS NISSAN NOT GO GOOD FOR A MANUFACTURING MISTAKE ON THEIR PART!? HOW IS IT MY PROBLEM THAT THEY DIDN'T OUT THIS COOLANT ON IN THE FIRST PLACE, AND HOW IS IT NOT A SAFETY RECALL WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70+ MPH AND THEN SUDDENLY CANT GO ANY FASTER THAN 40!!? IS IT BECAUSE NOBODY HAS BEEN KILLED YET!? IF YOU DO YOUR RESEARCH YOU WILL CLEARLY SEE THAT THIS IS AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AS WELL AS OTHERS MANUFACTURED BY NISSAN. *TR

I HAVE A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE AND WITHIN THE PAST 2 MONTHS, I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING LOSS OF ACCELERATION ON A MINIMAL UPHILL SLOPE. BOTH TIMES, I WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY DRIVING ABOUT 70-75 AND MY SPEED IMMEDIATELY DECREASES TO 60 AND BELOW. WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE, NOTHING HAPPENED. MY RPMS WERE IN THE RED ZONE- WHICH HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE- AND I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BY A SEMI THE 2ND TIME IT HAPPENED. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND TOOK MY CAR TO THE NEAREST MECHANIC. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS A TRANSMISSION CODE BUT BECAUSE MY CAR HAS A CVT TRANSMISSION, HE RECOMMENDED TAKING IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AS THERE HAS BEEN MANY REPORTED ISSUES WITH CVT MODELS, SO MUCH SO THAT THE WARRANTY GOT EXTENDED. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ONLY COVERS 2003-2010 MODELS. WHEN I CALLED NISSAN, THEY OF COURSE TOLD ME I WAS OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY AS ITS ONLY 5 YEARS OR 60K MILES AND OUTSIDE OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THEY QUOTED ME AT $3600+ TAX FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION AS THEY SAID IT WAS THE TORQUE CONVERTER THAT IS THE ISSUE. THERE ARE MULTIPLE FORUMS ONLINE WITH STORY AFTER STORY OF THE SAME ISSUE BEING EXPERIENCED BY MANY NISSAN DRIVERS YET NISSAN FAILS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND ADDRESS THE FACT THAT MODELS AFTER 2010 ARE EXPERIENCING THE IDENTICAL ISSUES COVERED IN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. NISSAN IS KNOWINGLY PLACING FAULTY TRANSMISSION IN THEIR VEHICLES THEN REFUSING TO COVER THE SERVICE COSTS DUE TO "EXPIRED WARRANTIES". FURTHERMORE, LETS ADDRESS THE FACT THAT THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD FOR DRIVERS. IMAGINE DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN LOSING ACCELERATION- WILL IT TAKE MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS AND GOD FORBID, DEATHS, FOR NISSAN AND THEIR EXECUTIVES TO OWN UP TO THEIR MISTAKE? NISSAN SHOULD LEARN FROM TOYOTA'S FAULTY AIR BAG SCANDAL AND RECTIFY THE ISSUE IMMEDIATELY TO PREVENT BODILY INJURY TO UNSUSPECTING DRIVERS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS ON, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SENSOR THAT DETERMINED PASSENGER WEIGHT WAS INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,323.

THE CAR MAKES A WHINING NOISE (SOUNDS LIKE A WIND UP TOY) AND HAVE EXPERIENCED LOSS OF POWER. I WAS ON A ROAD TRIP IN JULY OF 2016, HAD DRIVEN A COUPLE OF HOURS, DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (75 MPH) AND SUDDENLY LOST POWER/COULD NOT ACCELERATE - DROPPED DOWN TO 20MPH WITH THE GAS PEDAL PUSHED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. LATER THAT SAME TRIP, AFTER PULLING OFF TO GET GAS, THE CAR WOULD NOT GO AT ALL WHILE AT A RED STOP LIGHT THAT HAD TURNED GREEN-WITH THE GAS PEDAL PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AGAIN. HAVE SINCE LOST POWER WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY DROPPING SPEED FROM APPROXIMATELY 70MPH TO 25-30 WITH GAS PEDAL PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR.

CAR WILL STOP ACCELERATING AFTER DRIVING FOR 45-60 MINUTES. LOUD WHINING NOISES CONSTANTLY. NISSAN HAS REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND THE SERPENTINE BELT AND IT STILL HAPPENS. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR BACK MORE THAN 8 TIMES AND THEY WILL NOT FIX IT!! PLEASE HELP! I'VE ALMOST BEEN HIT MORE THAN 5 TIMES WITH MY TWO CHILDREN IN THE CAR BECAUSE OF THESE ISSUES.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY VEHICLE LOSSES POWER AND WON'T ACCELERATE.WITHOUT WARNING LOSSE POWER, EVEN WITH ACCELATOR PEDAL WOULD BARELY MOVE. AFTER LETTING CAR SIT, VEHICLE ACTS NORMAL UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. JUST PICTURE YOU AND OTHER CARS DRIVING OVER 60 ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND YOUR CAR RANDOMLY JUST STOP AND WONT MOVE. I SEE MANY OWNERS OF NISSN ROGUE EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM. CAN ANYTHING BE DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE BY THE MANYFACTURER?

TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING HAS CLOSE TO 100% LOSS OF POWER. THREE TIMES THIS HAPPENED WHEN STOPPED AND ATTEMPTING A LEFT TURN WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC, NARROWLY AVOIDING A BAD ACCIDENT. EVEN WITH ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO THE FLOOR CAR WOULD BARELY MOVE. CAR IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IS AT A REPAIR FACILITY WAITING FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE ON JUNE 2016. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000. .....UPDATED 10/13/16 *BF *TR
