2013 Nissan Rogue

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.

TRAVELING OUT OF TOWN ON HIGHWAY. SPEED OF 75MPH. ABOUT AN HOUR INTO TRAVEL, POWER STARTED TO DECREASE,PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL HAD NO EFFECT. LOSING POWER HAD TO PULL OFF TO SIDE. ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT, TRYING TO AVID BEING HIT BY OHTER AUTOS ON HIGHWAY. WHEN I TRIED TO PULL BACK ON ROAD, THERE WAS NO POWER A SNAIL CRAWL, THEN IN SECONDS IT CHARGED IN TO GEAR. HEARD A HIGH PITCH WHINNING NOISE. SHORTLY AFTER. IT OCCURRED AGAIN WITH IN 24 HOURS, I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT MY CAR FROM. THEN STARTED MY OWN INVESTIGATION, AND FOUND THIS SITE. I AM IN SHOCK HOW MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. NISSAN REALLY PUT OUT A POOR PRODUCT, AND THEY BETTER CORRECT. ALSO WHEN CAR WAS PURCHASE WITH 250 MILES EST. GAS PER GALLON WS SUPPOSE TO BE 28 HIGWAY- 22 IN TOWN.. I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO GET MORE THEN 20 MPG OUT OF MY AUTO. I HAVE ALSO SEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS.

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.

WHILE DRIVING UPHILL, THE CRUISE CONTROL DROPPED OUT WHILE GOING 70MPH AND LEFT ME WITH NO CONTROL OF THE GAS PEDAL. IT DROPPED ABOUT 20-25MPH VERY QUICKLY AND I WAS NEARLY RUN OVER FROM BEHIND, WHICH LEFT ME QUITE SHAKEN. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE GAS PEDAL TILL HILL WAS CRESTED. THIS WAS AND IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT HAS LEFT ME WONDERING IF I CAN EVER TRUST THE CRUISE CONTROL ON MY VEHICLE AGAIN. THIS DEFECT HAS GOT TO BE FIXED QUICKLY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. DEALER SAYS THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS HAPPENING BEFORE BUT ARE GETTING NO HELP FROM NISSAN.

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.

PER NHTSA RECALL 15V-032: WE TOOK OUR VEHICLE IN TO OUR NISSAN DEALER - CONTINENTAL NISSAN, ANCHORAGE, ALASKA TO HAVE THIS RECALL ADDRESSED. THIS WAS DONE LAST MONTH. AT THAT TIME THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE THE WATERPROOF SEAL REQUIRED TO FIX AN UNDAMAGED PIECE, NOR HARNESSES TO FIX A PROBLEM PIECE. AT THAT TIME, THEY SAID THEY "CHECKED IT OUT" BUT WOULD CALL US BACK AS SOON AS PARTS ARRIVED. THEY HAVE OUR INFORMATION, BUT IN OVER FOUR WEEKS HAVE YET TO CONTACT US. SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY RECALL, PARTS SHOULD HAVE BEEN EXPEDITED FOR OUR VEHICLE (AS WELL AS OTHERS) AND WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN CONTACTED QUICKLY TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. SINCE THIS HAS NOT BEEN DONE AND WE WERE BRUSHED OFF WITH THE INITIAL CONTACT, I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT AS NISSAN --- AND THIS DEALER ARE NOT COMPLYING WITH THE NOTICE.

ON SATURDAY, MAY 16TH HEADING ON THE 91 EAST BY BELLFLOWER, CA. FRWY I WAS DRIVING AND WHEN A SUDDEN STOP I FOUND IT HARD TO MAKE A STOP BECAUSE THE BRAKE FELT AS IF IT SUNK IN. I UNFORTUNATELY HIT A TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME. THE VEHICLE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY DAMAGE BUT MY NISSAN 2013 ROGUE DID. I TOOK PICTURES TO SHOW THE DAMAGE. AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT, I WAS VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE DID RECEIVE A FRONT IMPACT BUT THE AIR BAGS HAD NO REACTION TO THE HIT. AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT I RODE WITH MY 3 CHILDREN AGES, 18, 15 AND 11 AND MY FIANC. PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO GET IT'S MAINTENANCE AND AFTER THIS HAPPENING I WAS SURE THAT THE VEHICLE FELT VERY DIFFERENT. IT WAS ALMOST AS IF IT WOULD ACCELERATE AND THE BRAKES KEPT SINKING IN WITH HAVING A DELAY IN MAKING A FULL STOP. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN A BODY SHOP THROUGH MY INSURANCE AND I DO NOT RECALL THE MILEAGE? THIS IS VERY CONCERNING AND HAS BEEN EVER SINCE RECEIVING THE RECALL LETTER REGARDING THE POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT MIGHT SET A FIRE. PLEASE ADVISE/HELP. THANK YOU!
