2013 Nissan Rogue

I WENT TO USE THE JACK PROVIDED BY NISSAN TO CHANGE A FLAT TIRE. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THE JACK HAD EVER BEEN USED. AS I STARTED TO ELEVATE THE VEHICLE HIGHER I NOTICED THE JACK STARTED TO BEND AND COLLAPSE, AS THE SCREW MECHANISM ALSO STARTED TO BEND. THE ATTACHED PHOTOS PROBABLY DO NOT TRULY SHOW HOW MUCH BOTH THE FRAME & SCREW OF THE JACK HAD ACTUALLY BENT. I HAD TO USE ANOTHER JACK TO GET THE FAULTY ONE OUT FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. AFTERWARDS WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF A VICE, I WAS ABLE TO CLOSE THE DEFECTIVE JACK AND IN DOING SO IT SOMEWHAT STRAIGHTENED THE SCREW AND FRAME. THE SCREW WAS SEVERELY CONCAVE, AND THE JACK FRAME LISTED A LOT WITH THE VEHICLE WEIGHT. I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE DOING THIS ON A CONCRETE DRIVEWAY AT HOME. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS FULLY ENGAGED, THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN PARK WITH THE ENGINE OFF, AND I HAD WOODEN BLOCKS BEHIND THE REAR TIRES. MY CONCERN WAS THAT HAD THIS HAPPENED ON THE SIDE OF A ROAD, AND I DIDN'T HAVE A SECOND JACK; OR HAD NOT NOTICED THE BENDING, MYSELF OR ANYONE ELSE IN A SIMILAR SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. IN DOING AN INTERNET SEARCH AFTERWARDS, I FOUND A NUMBER OF OWNERS WHO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR SCISSOR JACK FROM THE SAME MAKE, MODEL & YEAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V244000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

WE WERE TAKING A TRIP TO WASHINGTON DC FROM FLORIDA AND WHEN WE GOT ONTO 95 I TURNED THE CRUISE CONTROL ON TO SET AT 75 ABOUT AN HOUR LATER IT STARTED LOOSING ACCELERATION. TURNED THE CRUISE CONTROL OFF AND KEPT LOSING ACCELERATION . HAD TO LET CARS PASS SO I COULD GET OVER INTO RIGHT LANE TO GET OFF ON EXIT. LET THE CAR SIT FOR 30 MINUTES.PROCEEDED TO HEAD BACK HOME WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL AND CAR DID FINE. VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE. I GUESS SOMEONE HAS TO DIE TO RECALL THIS PROBLEM. I RESEARCHED COMPLAINTS AND THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2010 ROGUES.

WE DROVE AN HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY THE RPMS WENT OVER 4000, AND THE CAR STARTED DECELERATING, WE WERE UNABLE TO GET OR KEEP HIGHWAY SPEED, EVEN WITH PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. LUCKILY WE WERE ABLE TO PULL TO SIDE OF HIGHWAY. AFTER 15 MINUTES IT SEEMED TO FUNCTION, BUT A MILE LATER IT DID THE SAME THING. EVEN WORSE ON ANY SORT OF INCLINE, EVEN SLIGHT. FOR FEAR OF OUR SAFETY, WE HAD TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED 55 MILES BACK HOME. I LOOKED IT UP AND AM WONDERING WHY THERE IS NO RECALL?? OUR SAFETY AS WELL AS OTHERS ALSO ON THE ROAD IS AT RISK!

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE IN A MOUNTAINOUS AREA, OUT OF NOWHERE MY CAR WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. I HAD TO PULL OFF OF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE CAR TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. NOW THIS IS HAPPENING ON A REGULAR BASIS IF I DRIVE MY CAR FOR LONGER THAN AN HOUR AT 60+ MPH, IT WILL SUDDENLY STOP ACCELERATING. IN ADDITION, IN THE LAST FEW DAYS, AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE INTERSTATE OFF RAMP, I TRIED TO ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP AND THE CAR JUST BARELY MOVED, ENOUGH FOR ME TO HAVE PULLED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, BUT NOT ENOUGH TO KEEP GOING TO GET MYSELF OUT OF THE WAY. I HAD TO QUICKLY REVERSE TO MOVE MY CAR FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. IF THERE HAD BEEN A CAR BEHIND ME AND I WAS UNABLE TO REVERSE I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED OVER AND OVER AGAIN AS AN ISSUE WITH THE CVT. MY CAR IS ONLY A 2013 AND JUST BARELY OVER THE (CRAPPY) POWERTRAIN WARRANTY THAT NISSAN OFFERS ON THIS CAR.

AFTER DRIVING FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME, THE CAR WILL SUDDENTLY AND CONTINUALLY FAIL TO ACCELERATE OVER A CERTAIN SPEED EVEN WITH THE FUEL PEDAL PRESSED TO THE FLOOR. I BELIEVE THE CAR GOES INTO A FAIL SAFE MODE DUE TO AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THIS HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE AND I COULD NOT LONGER EVEN GET UP TO THE SPEED LIMIT
