2013 Nissan Rogue

STARTED 3 DAY AGO STALLING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND LOSE POWER EVEN WITH THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY DOWN. ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED. THE ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING BUT HAVE TO PUT IN PARK AND TURN ENGINE OFF AND RESTART. HAPPENED 4 TIMES TODAY ON MY WAY TO WORK. YOU LOSE POWER WITH EVERYTHING BUT ENGINE STILL WORKING. CALLED NISSAN TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL BECAUSE THERE WERE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM AND THEY SAID NO. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. NISSAN WANTED ME TO BRING TO DEALERSHIP AND PAY 114.00 JUST TO GET A DIAGNOIS .ONLINE THEY SAID IT WAS A FAIL SAFETY WHICH NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS BADLY HURT OR KILLED.

WHEN DRIVING UPHILL THE VEHICLE ALMOST STALLS AND ACTS LIKE IT IS NOT GETTING FUEL, IT SLOWS DRAMATICALLY AND TAKES AWHILE TO RECOVER POWER. I CANNOT ACCELERATE. IF THERE IS A VEHICLE BEHIND ME, IT GETS VERY CLOSE, VERY FAST. THIS HAPPENS ON REGULAR BLACK TOP ROADS AND DIRT ROADS.THIS VEHICLE ALSO POPS OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING ON ROUGH DIRT ROADS AND UPHILL (I LIVE ON A DIRT ROAD). THIS IS NOT "OFF ROAD DRIVING." BOTH OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE ONGOING SINCE I GOT THIS VEHICLE. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE IT WAS NEW. THEN I THOUGHT I WAS DRIVING INCORRECTLY. NOW I KNOW IT IS JUST THE WAY THE VEHICLE IS. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN THIS VEHICLE.

THE TRANSMISSION CONSISTENTLY OVERHEATS (SERVICE DEPT TOLD ME THIS IS WHAT THE ISSUE IS) AND CAUSED THE CAR TO GO INTO "FAIL SAFE" MODE WHICH MEANS YOU HAVE NO POWER. I WAS TRAVELLING IN AN 75 MPH ZONE AND THE FASTEST I COULD GET TO WAS 60. TRACTOR TRAILERS WERE HAVING TO SLAM ON THEIR BREAKS. I PUT MY FLASHERS ON TO MAKE IT SAFER. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 6 DIFFERENT TRIPS. PER THE SVC DEPT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE NISSAN ROGUE AND THE FLUID GETS TOO HOT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE BECAUSE YOU DO NOT KNOW IT IS IN FAIL SAFE UNTIL YOU ATTEMPT TO GIVE THE CAR MORE POWER LIKE TO PASS OR SOMETHING. VERY VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE VIDEO OF THE INCEDENT IF NEEDED.

THIS 2013 NISSAN ROGUE LOST ACCELERATION COMPLETELY WHEN ON A SLIGHT HILL/INCLINE. SPEED WENT FROM 60MPH TO 30MPH IN SECONDS, NEARLY CAUSING A COLLISION WITH A BIG RIG TRUCK ON MY SIDE AND A LARGE VEHICLE COMING UP BEHIND. THE GAS PEDAL WAS COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR WITH NO RESULT IN ACCELERATION. WHEN ABLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, I HAD TO POWER DOWN VEHICLE COMPLETELY. I OPENED THE HOOD (HOPING TO COOL THE POTENTIALLY HOT ENGINE TO RESOLVE) AND RESTART. I HAD TO RESTART A COUPLE TIMES TO GET THE CAR TO RECOGNIZE BEING IN "GEAR." THERE WAS NO WARNING, NO SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT, NOTHING. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENT ON OIL CHANGES, ETC. THIS ISSUE COULD HAVE CAUSED BODILY HARM OR INJURY HAD I NOT BEEN ABLE TO SAFELY GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, ESPECIALLY SINCE WE WERE ON A HILL AND EVERYONE IS TRYING TO MAINTAIN MOMENTUM BEHIND ME ON A TWO LANE ROAD. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY CONCERN. SINCE THAT ISSUE, THE VEHICLE HAS NOW DONE IT APPROXIMATELY 6 MORE TIMES.

FIRST INCIDENT:WHILE TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AT 70MPH(NO USE OF CRUISE CONTROL) GOING UP A STEEP HILL THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER EVEN WITH THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR.FORTUNATELY WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOUDER AND STOP THE CAR,AFTER 15 MINUTES THE CAR STARTED AND WE DROVE HOME WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. SECOND INCIDENT:DRIVING FROM CA TO AZ FOR FAMILY WEDDING ON 04/28/2015 AFTER DRIVING FOR APPROX. 3 HOURS USING PERIODIC CRUISE CONTROL (CRUISE CONTROL NOT ON DURING INCIDENT) AND AGAIN DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT 75MPH ON LEVEL GROUND ENGINE LOST POWER AND BEGAN DECELERATING QUICKLY, NOT RESPONDING TO GAS PEDAL( WHICH WAS FLOORED) ENGINE NOT REEVING AT ALL. LUCKY AGAIN TURNED ON HAZARD LIGHTS AVOIDED NEAR COLLISON PULLED OVER ON SHOULDER, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED.TWENTY MINUTES LATER TURNED CAR ON AND CONTINUED TRAVELING. THIRD INCIDENT: EXACTLY THE SAME AS SECOND INCIDENT ONLY HAPPENED ON THE WAY HOME ON MAY 4TH 2015. FOURTH INCIDENT: JUNE 12 2015 WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY IN A MOUNTAINOUS REGION DRIVING AT 50MPH CAR AGAIN LOST ALL ENIGN POWER(SEE ABOVE INCIDENTS)WITH SAME RESULTS.DURING ALL INCIDENTS THE WEATHER WAS HOT TEMPERATURE WAS AT LEAST 90 DEGREES. THIS IS THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM THAT WAS ADMITTED BY NISSAN FOR PREVIOUS YEARS ; HOT WEATHER, HILLS ETC CAUSING CAR TO GO TO "FAIL SAFE MODE" AND IT IS BEING REPORTED BY NISSAN CAR OWNERS PAST THE RECALL DATES OF 2010. PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING AT 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

SUMMARY: I BOUGHT MY CAR NEW IN APRIL ,2014 AND AFTER A WHILE I NOTICED THAT IT WAS MAKING A WEIRD NOISE WHEN GOING AT HIGH SPEED.VERY SCARY SOUND COMES FROM RIGHT SIDE YOU CAN AND CANNOT FIND WE CANNOT DUPLICATE THE SOUND VERY SCARY TO DRIVE IS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS MY CAR WAS BRAND NEW UNDER 25 MILES WHEN I BOUGHT IT IS THIS A LEMON SCARY SOUNDS UNSAFE. *TR
