2014 Nissan Rogue

SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE IN THE SUMMER OF 2016, I HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES. THE VEHICLE, AFTER DRIVING IT FOR VARIOUS LENGTHS OF TIME, SLOWS AND APPEARS TO LOSE POWER. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED, THE VEHICLE DOES NOTHING. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO COAST BUT WILL NOT INCREASE IN SPEED. IT HAS SLOWED DOWN TO 45 MPH ON A BUSY INTERSTATE (WITH A SPEED LIMIT OF 75 MPH) BEFORE AND WILL ONLY INCREASE IN SPEED AFTER A DECLINE IN ELEVATION (PROBABLY DUE TO MOMENTUM). THE CAR WILL NOT INCREASE SPEED EVEN IF THE OVERDRIVE IS TURNED OFF. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WILL BE PRESSED TO THE MAXIMUM AND THE CAR WILL NOT INCREASE IN SPEED. THE REVOLUTIONS PER MINUTE (RPMS), WILL NOT INCREASE EITHER WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED. ALL THIS HAS OCCURRED ON HIGHWAYS WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS INCREASED AND AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT AN HOUR (SOMETIMES AFTER LONGER). WHEN I TAKE THE CAR OFF A HIGHWAY AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THERE IS A DELAY ONCE I TRY TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WILL MOVE SLOWLY AFTER A FEW SECONDS OF PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR AND THEN INCREASES SPEED VERY QUICKLY. WHEN DRIVING ON A BUSY INTERSTATE, THIS BECOMES A SAFETY CONCERN. I CANNOT ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE WHEN I WANT TO AND THE VEHICLE WILL INCREASE AND DECREASE IN SPEED WITHOUT MY CONTROL.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE COMING FROM INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA GOING 75 MILES PER HOUR. AFTER THREE HOURS OF DRIVING, MY CAR SUDDENLY BEGAN DECREASING IT'S SPEED AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ANDI HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE AND TURN OFF MY CAR. I CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK USING MY INSURANCE COMPANY., BUT AFTER TURNING OFF THE CAR FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES, IT WAS DRIVEABLE AGAIN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON THE ENTIRE RIDE HOME, AND FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS.

AT AROUND 60,000 MILES MY TRANSMISSION STARTED ACTING UP. I WAS DRIVING ON A HILLY HIGHWAY AND MY CAR LOST SPEED AND WAS HAVING TROUBLE ACCELERATING BACK UP TO THE SPEED LIMIT. WHILE PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL THE RPM WOULD INCREASE AND THE CAR WOULD MAKE A LOUD NOISE AS IF IT WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE BUT IT WOULD NOT PICK UP SPEED. WHEN I GOT OFF AT THE NEXT EXIT THE CAR WOULD BARELY MOVE AFTER STOPPING AT THE STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THEN. IT NOW HAPPENS IF I DRIVE THE CAR FOR LONGER THAN 25 MINUTES, LESS TIME IF I'M USING THE AC OR HEAT. AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN TURNED OFF FOR A FEW HOURS IT WORKS NORMALLY AGAIN AS LONG AS I'M ONLY GOING SHORT DISTANCES. DURING THE ACCELERATION ISSUES YOU CAN SMELL TRANSMISSION FLUID. IT JUST HAPPENED AGAIN AND I HAD ONLY GONE 20 MILES ON THE HIGHWAY.

I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPOT AT MY PHYSICIAN'S OFFICE, THE PARKING LOT'S SLOPE WAS SLIGHTLY UPHILL. AS I SLOWLY APPROACHED THE PARKING SPOT AND TURNED THE CAR TO THE RIGHT, I DECIDED TO LIGHTLY TAP THE ACCELERATOR TO GIVE THE ROGUE ENOUGH SPEED TO PULL INTO THE SPOT. THE ENGINE SUDDENLY REVVED UP AND THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED--ALMOST AS IF I HAD JAMMED ONTO THE ACCELERATOR--EXCEPT I HADN'T. SINCE THE CAR WAS ALREADY TURNED TO THE RIGHT, IT SLAMMED INTO THE SIDE OF ANOTHER CAR ALREADY PARKED NEXT TO ME. MY CAR THEN JUMPED THE CURB, KEPT GOING TO THE RIGHT AND SLAMMED INTO SIDEWALK RAMP RAILINGS. MY CAR FINALLY STOPPED. I WAS NOT HURT (WEARING SEAT BELT) BUT I WAS SHAKEN UP--THIS HAPPENED SO QUICKLY THAT I DIDN'T HAVE TIME ENOUGH TO RESPOND IN ANY WAY EXCEPT TO TRY TO STRAIGHTEN THE STEERING WHEEL--WHICH WAS USELESS. THERE IS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END AND RIGHT SIDE OF MY CAR, AND THE OTHER PARKED CAR HAD DAMAGE TO THE LEFT SIDE. THE SIDEWALK RAILINGS WERE KNOCKED DOWN. THE POLICE OFFICER CITED ME WITH RECKLESS DRIVING, SO HE OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T BELIEVE THAT MY ACCELERATOR STUCK. IN THE PAST, RARELY I EXPERIENCED RAPID ACCELERATION FROM A STOP (LIKE AT AN INTERSECTION)--THE RPM MONITOR WOULD REV UP TO A HIGH AMOUNT 5000+--EVEN THOUGH I HAD ONLY GENTLY DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL--I WOULD HAVE TO PUNCH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AGAIN TO MAKE IT STOP REVVING. THIS WAS VERY RARE, SO I DIDN'T REPORT IT TO MY DEALER--I FIGURED THEY WOULD DISMISS IT IF THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, NOW I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. I SAW ONE OTHER PERSON'S REPORT OF A VERY SIMILAR OCCURRENCE. HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS?

TAKATA RECALL- WAS ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING 70 MPH WITH TWO OTHER ADULTS IN THE CAR WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. I HAD NO POWER AND COASTED OFF THE EXIT AND INTO A PARKING LOT (THANK GOODNESS). HAD TO HAVE THE CR TOWED 96 MILES TO MY HOMETOWN FOR REVIEW. ITS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD, 74,000 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION IS GONE. OVER $5500 QUOTE TO REPLACE. NISSAN WAS NOTIFIED BUT WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT.

AS SEVERAL HAVE STATED, 50-70 MPH, THE ENGINE WILL REV, BUT THEN DECELERATE WITH THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE. NOT AT ALL. NEXT THING YOU KNOW, YOU ARE DOING 25 MPH. VERY DANGEROUS AND WORRISOME. LET'S HOPE NOTHING EVER HAPPENS TO ANY MEMBERS OF MY FAMILY WHILE THIS CONDITION PRESENTS ITSELF. NISSAN NEEDS TO STEP UP AND BE ACCOUNTABLE. IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. THE TERRAIN WAS A GRADE GOING UPHILL, TEMPERATURE AROUND 92 IN TEXAS.

WHEN DRIVING MY ROGUE FOR ANY PERIOD OF TIME OVER 40 MINUTES ON THE EXPRESSWAY THE VEHICLES STARTS TO DECELERATE EVEN WHEN THE GAS PEDAL TO PUSHED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. THIS SEEMS TO BE WORSE IN THE SUMMER MONTHS WHEN IT IS WARMER OUTSIDE. THE CAR NEEDS TO BE SHUT OFF FOR A PERIOD OF TIME BEFORE IT WILL BEGIN TO ACCELERATE AND MAINTAIN THE SPEED ON THE EXPRESSWAY. I HAVE EVEN TURNED ON THE CRUISE CONTROL AND THE VEHICLE WILL EVEN DECELERATE WHEN THE SPEED IS SET ON CRUISE CONTROL. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING ESPECIALLY SINCE I LIVE IN FL AND TO HAVE TO PULL OVER EVERY 40 MINUTES WHEN DRIVING LONGER DISTANCES AND SIT IN YOUR HOT CAR ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS STARTED BACK IN 2015 AND HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I HAVE TO DRIVE OVER 40 MINUTES ON THE EXPRESSWAY.
