2013 Nissan Rogue

DRIVING MY ROGUE AT 45MPH ON 10/13/2017. DECELERATED TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN. THEN ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AFTER THE TURN. THE ROGUE JERKED AND DECELERATED AND TURNED OFF. I STEERED THE CAR TO THE SOFT SHOULDER. ATTEMPTED TO START ROGUE. STARTED BUT THEN STALLED. IT EVENTUALLY STARTED AFTER SITTING BY ROAD FOR 5 MINUTES. NO PROBLEMS WITH ROGUE UNTIL 10/20/2017. WAS DRIVING AT 55 MPH WITH A SEMI BEHIND ME ON 2 LANE HIGHWAY. THE ROGUE STARTS TO DECELERATE AND JERKING. I PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN ENOUGH TIME NOT TO BE HIT BY THE SEMI. ROGUE TOTALLY STOPPED WORKING. I GOT IT RESTARTED AND DROVE HOME AT 40 MPH. CALLED AND GOT A REPAIR APPOINTMENT ON 10/24/17. IT WAS A MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR THAT WAS BROKEN.

"TAKATA RECALL" THIS COMPLAINT IS CONCERNING THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL BODY VALVE AND COOLER KIT ASSY. AFTER CHECKING OTHER SITES AND TALKING WITH THE COMPANY THAT WARRANT MY CAR I DISCOVER THAT NISSAN WAS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND BECAUSE IT'S NOT A SAFETY ISSUE NISSAN REFUSE TO DO A RECALL. OTHER OWNER HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM OF ONE SIMILAR TO IT, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY CAR LOOSE POWER. I READ ON ONE OF THE INVESTIGATION SITE THAT NO COMPANY WILL WARRANT THE CVT TRANSMISSION BY NISSAN.

THERE IS A KNOWN DEFAULT WITH THE YEAR AND MAKE OF VEHICLE I OWN, YET NISSAN HAS FAILED TO ISSUE A RECALL, EVEN THOUGH IT COULD RESULT IN DEATH. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR 1.5 HOURS OR MORE AT SPEEDS OF 65 MPH OR GREATER, THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS, AND CAUSES YOU TO LOSE ACCELERATION AND POWER. I LOST POWER ON THE PARKWAY, WAS UNABLE TO MOVE FROM THE RIGHT LANE, I COULDN'T EVEN MAKE IT TO THE SHOULDER BEFORE LOSING ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE MY VEHICLE. NISSAN RECOMMENDS ADDING AN EXTERNAL PART TO THE TRANSMISSION TO COOL THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, BUT THE PART IS MORE THAN $700. I WOULD THINK THAT THIS ISSUE WOULD BE VERY SIMILAR TO THE ISSUE WITH THE CHRYSLER IGNITION SWITCHES. IF I AM DRIVING MY CAR 70 MPH OR MORE ON THE INTERSTATE, AND SUDDENLY LOSE POWER, I AM LIKELY GOING TO GET HIT, AND IF THE OTHER VEHICLES ARE TRAVELING 70 MPH OR MORE, THAT IS GOING TO CAUSE VERY SERIOUS INJURIES AT THE VERY LEAST. THERE ARE MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS KNOWN ISSUE ON NISSAN FORUMS.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2017, WHILE ON MY WAY TO WORK, THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN BLINKING. BEFORE DRIVING HOME THAT EVENING I RESET IT. THE BLINKING STOPPED MOMENTARILY. I THEN SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT (10.19.17) WITH ACTION NISSAN HERE IS NASHVILLE, TN WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS AN AIRBAG SPRING MALFUNCTION WHICH WILL NOT ALLOW THE AIRBAG TO PROPERLY DEPLOY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON AND OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOUCHER NISSAN OF WAUKESHA (1451 E MORELAND BLVD, WAUKESHA, WI 53186 (262) 542-5500) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED TO COVER HALF OF THE REPAIR COST; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REMAINING BALANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000.

I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY 5 FREEWAY. LISTENING TO MUSIC. ALL OF A SUDDEN I START HEARING A WHISTLING, AND WHINING SOUND. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE RADIO SO I TURNED IT DOWN. IT'S MY CAR MAKING THAT NOISE. SO I START TO PULL OVER AND I HAVE NO POWER. IT BARELY GETS OFF THE FREEWAY WITHIN 5 MINS OF ME HEARING THE NOISE MY CAR IS SMOKING. I'M WITH MY SON. THERE WAS NO WARNING OR ANYTHING IT JUST HAPPENED. I HAVE MY OIL CHANGES ON TIME. I HAD ON THE DAY BEFORE. THEN THIS HAPPENS

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GO ONLINE AND READ CONSUMER COMPLAINTS ABOUT VARIOUS NISSAN TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I CAN TELL YOU FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE THAT PEOPLE CAN GET HURT OR KILLED IN THESE VEHICLES. THE TRANSMISSIONS IN THESE AUTOS OVERHEAT AND WHEN THIS HAPPENS ACCELERATION DECLINES. PEDAL TO THE METAL YOU ARE DRIVING 50 MPH ON THE EXPRESSWAY. CARS ARE BLOWING HORNS. FINALLY THE TRANNY JUST GOES COMPLETELY OUT. TRY BEING IN THE CENTER LANE ON I 75 COASTING ABRUPTLY TO A CRAWL AND TRYING TO MOVE OVER WITHOUT GETTING HIT BY CARS DRIVING 70 MPH OR MORE. I ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR PILEUP WHILE FIGHTING TO GET OFF ROAD. READ OTHER HORROR STORIES ONLINE. I HAVE OWNED ALL TYPES VEHICLES IN MY 64 YEARS BUT I HAVE NEVER FELT LIKE MY LIFE WAS THREATENED BECAUSE OF MECHANICAL ISSUES. THIS IS NOT A SAFE CAR. SOME OWNERS HAVE INSTALLED TWO OR MORE TRANSMISSIONS. NOT TO MENTION THE COST. PLEASE SAVE LIVES AND MAKE NISSAN CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. 2009-2013 ARE THE WORST. MY DAUGHTER OWNS A 2011 NISSAN SENTRA. SHE PULLED FROM A STOP SIGN AND HAD PLENTY OF TIME BUT AS HER CAR LOST ACCELERATION SHE WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A DUMP TRUCK.. SHE CALLED ME CRYING. SHE HAS DRIVEN FOR 17 YEARS AND WAS TERRIFIED. I READ STORIES OF DRIVERS WHO WERE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND AS THEY SPED UP TO CROSS THE HIGHWAY THEIR CAR JUST CREEPS OUT IN FRONT OF ONCOMING VEHICLES. CHECK WITH SERVICE CENTERS AS WELL AND YOU WILL REALIZE THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH NISSANS. THE ALTIMAS, THE SENTRAS, THE ROGUES, THE PATHFINDERS. THEY HAVE MAJOR ISSUES. THEY NEED TO RECALL THESE CVT TRANSMISSIONS AND MAKE THEM SAFE. I AM UPSET OVER PAYING 3500.00 TO REPAIR THIS CAR BUT MORE UPSET THAT COMPANY IS ALLOWED TO PLAY WITH MY LIFE AND THE LIVES OF OTHERS. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR THIS UNSAFE. THANKS FOR LISTENING. PLEASE CHECK OUT WHAT I HAVE SAID. THERE ARE PLENTY MORE UNHAPPY NISSAN OWNERS OUT THERE.

CVT TRANSMISSION. ONE OWNER COMEPLETES ALL REGULAR MAINTENANCE. WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THE CAR MAKES A WHINING NOISE, LOSES POWER AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THIS CAUSED SEMIS TO GRID LOCK I MOVED OFF ROAD TO AVOID GETTING HIT AND CAUSING A MULTI CAR PILE UP. I LOOK UP AND SEE COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME NATURE BY THE 100'S AND SADLY NISSAN ISN'T WILLING TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE WITH THE CVT ON LATER MODELS BUT EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON PREVIOUS MODELS WITH THE SAME TRANSMISSION.
