2012 Nissan Rogue

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NISSAN OF LAWTON (580-353-2244, LOCATED AT 201 W GORE BLVD, LAWTON, OK 73501) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 77,000.

WEDNESDAY AUGUST 7, 2019, I PARKED MY CAR IN A PARKING LOT IN FULL SUN AT 11:30 A.M. WHEN I CAME BACK OUT TO MY CAR AND GOT IN, I NOTICED SMOKE COMING UP FROM WHAT LOOKED TO BE FROM THE FLOOR ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. I'M NOT SURE WHAT I USED TO EXTINGUISH IT AS I WAS ON EMERGENCY MODE. I DO REMEMBER THAT I MADE SURE IT WASN'T FLAMMABLE. THE SUN WAS COMING THROUGH THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. IT APPEARS THAT THE SUN WAS REFLECTING LIGHT FROM A MIRROR AT THE FRONT OF THE BOTTOM SEAT. IT WAS THE PART THAT WOULD BE AT A PASSENGER'S LOWER LEGS. THERE WAS A BLACK SMOKING OVAL HOLE THAT WAS DEEP ENOUGH THAT IT PENETRATED NOT ONLY THE LEATHER BUT THROUGH THE FOAM. I DIDN'T SEE A FLAME. THIS OCCURRED IN NASHVILLE, TN.

I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES LATELY WITH MY TRANSMISSION AND NOW,IT'S SITTING IN A PARKING LOT WITH ME HAVING TO LEAVE IT THERE AS IT LOST ITS POWER TO EVEN MOVE!! I HAD SERVICE COMPLETED & HAVE ALWAYS KEPT THIS VEHICLE UP AND EVEN HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CHECKED THIS TIME AND NOW THAT IT'S NOT DRIVABLE,I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH ON CAR COMPLAINTS.COM AND EDWARDS.COM AND SEE SO MANY COMPLAINTS,IT'S SICKENING. THIS VEHICLE IS A 2012!!

MY CARS TRANSMISSION IS MAKING A WEIRD SOUND WHEN I TURN IT IN AND WHILE ME DRIVING IT. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY THE ACCELERATION DROPPED DOWN TO 20-25 MPH IN TRAFFIC WITH OTHER CARS SPEEDING TOWARD ME BUT WHEN I TRY AND ACCELERATE, THE RPM GO UP, BUT NOTHING HAPPENS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, AS MY TRANSMISSION FAILED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, WITH NO WARNING PUTTING MYSELF, MY FAMILY AND OTHERS AT THE HIGHWAY IN GRAVE DANGER. I WENT TO MECHANICS THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAVE A CVT TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND THAT NISSAN IS FULLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL THIS PROBLEM IS PUTTING PEOPLE'S LIVES AT RISK.

I'M JUST SO UPSET WITH THIS VEHICLE. WHEN YOU DRIVE FOR ABOUT AN HOUR THE TRUCK WON'T GO PAST 70. IT STARTS TO SLOW DOWN AND YOU CAN'T GET ANY SPEED. I WAS GOING TO WV AND IT STARTED MESSING UP I COULDN'T EVEN PULL THE HILL. IT WOULD JUST GO SO SLOW, COULDN'T GET IN ANOTHER LANE. IT WAS SO SCARY THOUGHT I WAS GONNA GET HIT. THE CAR ALWAYS HAS AN WHINNING NOISE WHEN YOUR ON THE ROAD OVER 30 MINUTES. YOU HAVE TO CUT THE TRUCK OFF, LET IT SIT A WHILE TO GET THE SPEED TO COME BACK UP. THE NEXT DAY I WAS ON MY WAY TO THE BEACH AND IT WOULD NOT GO PAST 20MPH. MASH THE GAS TO THE FLOOR AND IT WOULD JUST MAKE NOISE. OTHER THAN THAT I LIKE THE TRUCK. EVERY TIME I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY ARE TRYING TO CHARGE ME ALMOST 1,000 DOLLARS FOR SOMETHING THAT THEY KNEW ABOUT BEFORE THEY SOLD THESE CARS TO THE CONSUMERS. NISSAN NEED TO RECALL THESE CARS , THEY ARE VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IF YOUR ON THE HIGHWAY WITH BABIES IN THE CAR.

CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION)CVT FAILED FOR THE SECOND TIME SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW. I WAS DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WHEN MY ENGINE SUDDENLY LOST POWER. THE ENGINE RPMS SHOT UP BUT MY CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN. I TOOK THE CAR TO A NEARBY NISSAN DEALER TO BE INSPECTED. THE SERVICE PERSON THERE SAID THE CVT FLUID WAS OVERHEATING CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO BASICALLY START SLIPPING. HE COULDN'T TELL ME WHY THE CVT FLUID WAS OVERHEATING BUT HE SAID HE COULD INSTALL AN EXTERNAL TRANSMISSION COOLER (FOR $1300) THAT NISSAN MADE FOR THE VEHICLE THAT MAY ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM OR REPLACE THE CVT. I HAD THEM INSTALL THE COOLER AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. OBVIOUSLY NISSAN KNOWS THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THEIR CVTS AND THEY DESIGNED A SOLUTION THAT THEY ARE MAKING CUSTOMERS PAY FOR TO HAVE THEIR VEHICLES RETURNED TO A DRIVABLE CONDITION. THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER COULD BE A SAFETY PROBLEM IF IT HAPPENED DURING HIGHWAY RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I WAS ON AN 8-LANE INTERSTATE IN TEXAS WHEN IT HAPPENED TO ME BUT LUCKILY IT WASN'T RUSH HOUR AND I WAS ABLE TO MOVE ALL THE WAY OVER TO THE RIGHT LANE AND TAKE AN EXIT OFF THE HIGHWAY.

LABOR DAY LAST YEAR, WE WERE DRIVING DOWN AN OLD RURAL ROAD, JUST GOT DONE PASSING A CAR AND THEN OUR ROGUE SOUNDED LIKE IT REVVING THE ENGINE, THEN NEXT THING WE KNOW IT DIED AT 65 MPH WITH ONLY 102,000 MILES ON IT. $1000 ENGINE LATER WE FIXED IT. NOW, LAST WEEK ON MY WAY TO WORK, TRYING TO GET UP TO 60 MPH ON HIGHWAY AND IT REVS UP TO 4 GRAND AND WILL NOT SHIFT. WE LIMP IT HOME. THOUGHT NEEDED TRANNY FLUID SO WE ADD SOME. THAT FRIDAY WE TAKE ON A 2 1/2 ROAD TRIP, WE HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 40 MPH FOR CONSTRUCTION AND THEN ACCELERATE WHEN CONSTRUCTION WAS DONE. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE IT REVVED UP TO 4 GRAND AGAIN. WHEN WE TRIED TO GET UP A HILL, ON A FREEWAY MIND YOU, WE HAD THE GAS PEDAL PEGGED AND IT CLIMBED THE HILL AT 20 MPH. THIS WAS ON A FREEWAY VERY DANGEROUS!! WE LIMPED IT TO A GAS STATION AND PARKED FOR AWHILE TO GET IT COOLED DOWN. WHEN TO MOVE IT AND ABSOLUTELY NO ACCELERATION IT WOULD NOT MOVE. NISSAN SHE RECALL THIS WHOLE [XXX] CAR AND GIVE US OUR MONEY BACK. THE CVT IS JUNK AND THEY HAVE RECALLED PRIOR YEARS. 2012 AND NEWER NEED TO BE RECALLED AS WELL.
