2011 Nissan Rogue

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WILL LOSE POWER TO THE POINT IT ALMOST FILLS AS IF IT WILL SHUT OFF. USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN STARTING OFF ON A GRADE OR SLOWING FOR A TURN THEN PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL. THE CAR ALSO SHUDDERS AND FEELS LIKE IT CHUGGING OR WOBBLING ALONG, AS IF THE ROAD IT LUMPY. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE ISSUE, BUT NO RECALL OR SERVICE BULLETINS HAVE BEEN ISSUED. WHEN IT ALMOST COMPLETELY LOSES POWER ITS VERY SCARY, AS IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE TRYING TO MERGE ONTO THE INTERSTATE. I HAVE A YOUNG CHILD AND IT HAS PUT US BOTH IN DANGER MORE THAN ONCE SINCE BUYING THE CAR USED IN JULY 2013. *TR

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR SUDDENLY LOSES POWER, AND DOES NOT ACCELERATE. IF I AM GOING UP A HILL OR HUMP, THE CAR WILL STALL. AT TIMES, HAVE TO FIND AN ALTERNATE ROUTE WHEN DRIVING BECAUSE THE CAR WILL FAIL TO ACCELERATE. I AM AFRAID TO TRAVEL ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS WHERE THERE ARE HILL OR ELEVATED AREAS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY NOT ACCELERATE. I MUST DRIVE SOMETIMES WITH MY HAZARD LIGHTS BECAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHTS OFTEN FAIL TO COME ON. *JS

FOR A FEW DAYS I HAD NOTICED A SHUTTER IN MY CAR AS IT ACCELERATED. REALLY SINCE I HAD BOUGHT THE CAR IT HAD VIBRATION PROBLEMS. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 65 MPH ON THE FREEWAY AND GOT ON A RAMP TO MERGE ONTO ANOTHER FREEWAY. WHEN I SLOWED TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC, I COULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THE RPM GAUGE WENT UP TO AROUND 4,000 BUT THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 15 - 20 MPH. BECAUSE OF THIS, I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A TRUCK THAT WAS IN THE DISTANCE OF THE STRIGHT LANE THAT I MERGED INTO. I PULLED IN FRONT OF HIM BUT COULD NOT GO ANYWHERE AND HE WAS FORCED TO MAKE A QUICK SWERVE INTO ANOTHER LANE TO AVOID ME. THE INTERNET IS FULL OF VIDEOS AND COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER NISSAN ROGUE OWNERS THAT ARE HAVIN THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS. MY CAR DOES HAVE A LOT OF MILEAGE AS I TRAVEL ABOUT 1,200 MILES PER WEEK FOR MY JOB AS A TERRITORY MANAGER. HOWEVER, THAT ONLY MEANS THAT ALL THIS MILEAGE IS HIGHWAY MILES AND HAS NOT PUT MUCH PRESSURE ON THE TRANSMISSION. THE OTHER OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AT ANYWHERE FROM 6,000 TO 60,000 MILES. NISSAN HAS DOUBLED THEIR WARRANTIES ON THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS THAT THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED. HOWEVER, BY THE TIME I GOT MINE TO THE DEALERSHIP THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED THAT THE WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN EXTENDED BY NISSAN OR I WOULD HAVE NOTICED THAT I HAD A PROBLEM. NOW THEY HAVE CHANGED PARTS IN THE NEW TRANSMISSIONS BUT WILL NOT ADMIT TO THEIR PROBLEMS IN THE OLD ONES OR DO ANYTHING TO HELP OUT OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THESE PROBLEMS. SOMEBODY WILL BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED BY NISSAN. HOW CAN YOU PUT THIS TRANSMISSION IN CARS KNOWING ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND NOT ISSUE A RECALL? THEY ARE A SERIOUS THREAT TO OTHER VEHICLES. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL FOR 2008-2011 MODELS. THANKS.

HELLO: MY NAME IS [XXX] I AM THE PROUD OWNER OF A 2011 ROGUE WITH APPROXIMATELY 21,000 MILES. BUT I HAVE A VERY SERIOUS COMPLAINT SINCE I HAVE THE OWNED THE VEHICLE MY FIANCE HAS HAD TO TAKE OFF TO BRING THE CAR IN FOR THE TPMS SENSOR UNIT NEARLY EVERY OTHER MONTH SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS COST THE FACTORY ON OR ABOUT $200.00 PER VISIT. WHEN THE WARRANTY ELAPSE IS NISSAN SAYING THIS WILL BE ON ME? IS THERE A CALL BACK ON THIS MALFUNCTION? IS THERE A RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM OR HAS THE PROBLEM BEEN ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE IS FATALLY INJURED? THE DEALER IS SAYING THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BUT WITHOUT AN RESOLUTION., JUST BRING IT IN. BUT THEY ARE NORMALLY REPLACING THE SENSOR UNIT EACH TIME. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ROUGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL TIGHTENED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000.

2011 ROGUE, 40,000 MILES 2 DAYS AGO, PROBLEMS STARTED WITH ACCELERATION. SPECIFICALLY FROM A STOPPED POSITION. AND WHEN ON A HILL, OR AT A FREEWAY RAMP IT WON'T ACCELERATE AT ALL, EVEN WHEN PUSHING DRIVING PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR.( RPM DOES NOT GO UP) IF I ABLE PASSING THE 15 MILES SPEED EVERYTHING IS RELEASE AND THE CAR DRIVE NORMAL. I LEAVE IN AN UPHILL AND I HAD TO PLAN MY WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP ON SAT, AFTER VISITING THE DEALER, EVERYTHING WAS TEMPORARILY FIX, A DAY AFTER HERE WE GO AGAIN. I'M PLANNING TO CALL THE DEALER NOW. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ON A TOLL ROAD, SPEED LIMIT 80, MY CAR LOST POWER AFTER TRAVELING ABOUT 45 MINUTES. PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR RESULTED IN THE CAR STILL LOOSING POWER. IT DID NOT MATTER HOW MUCH YOU PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR STILL SLOWED DOWN. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON JULY 17, 2013. TRAVELING THE SAME ROAD. IN ADDITION, WHEN I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND CAME TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN, I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR DID NOT GO AT FIRST. THEN THE CAR SLOWLY MOVED FORWARD. I HAVE GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND MANY WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING. I ALSO SPOKE WITH AN EMPLOYEE AT AN OIL CHANGING BUSINESS WHO SAID HE HAD A CUSTOMER LAST WEEK WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HER NISSAN. IT WAS REPORTED THAT NISSAN TOLD HER THE SENSOR WAS DOING ITS JOB AND SHE WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER AFTER DRIVING FOR AN HOUR, SHUT OFF HER CAR, WAIT 10 MINUTES, THEN PROCEED. THAT WOULD CLEAR THE SENSOR AND THE CAR WOULD DRIVE NORMAL AGAIN. REALLY! *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FEEDER ROAD WHEN I HAD TO SUDDENLY BRAKE DUE TO ANOTHER VEHICLE ATTEMPTING AN UNSAFE LANE CHANGE. MY VEHICLE SLOWED, AND THE ABS ACTIVATED. LESS THAN A SECOND LATER, THE BRAKES DEACTIVATED ALL TOGETHER. I WAS STILL PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT MY VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ROLL AS IF THERE WERE NO BRAKES ALL TOGETHER. I IMMEDIATELY DISENGAGED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND ATTEMPTED TO RE-ENGAGE THE BRAKES SIMPLY TO TEST THE BRAKES, BUT THE VEHICLE JERKED A FEW TIMES AND ROLLED AGAIN. I TRIED AGAIN, AND THE BRAKES ENGAGED NORMALLY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT SINCE THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE INCIDENT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE. I INFORMED THEM THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE AND ASKED IF I COULD SPEAK WITH THE DEALERSHIP MANAGER AND WAS TOLD I HAD TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. I CAN NO LONGER TRUST MY VEHICLE TO KEEP ME SAFE ON THE ROAD AND HAVE SINCE ONLY USED IT AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE. *TR
