2016 Nissan Rogue

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH AND EXITING OFF A CROSS RAMP ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL SOUND COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED FALMOUTH MOTOR CAR (45 MA-28A, CATAUMET, MA 02534) AND WAS PROVIDED AN ESTIMATE TO REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION. THE CONTACT DECLINED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 116,000.

FIRST THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE SLIP INDICATOR (OR TRACTION CONTROL) LIGHT FOR THE VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL WOULD COME ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING BOTH ON THE HIGHWAY AND OTHER ROADS. THEN ONE DAY, I WENT TO START MY CAR AND ALL OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS BEGAN FLASHING AND IT WOULDN'T START. WE BOUGHT JUMPER CABLES AND JUMPED IT BUT IT STILL WOULDN'T START THE NEXT DAY. SO I BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY AND IT WORKED FOR ABOUT A WEEK. THEN WHILE DRIVING TO WORK, THE SLIP INDICATOR (TRACTION CONTROL) LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND IT WOULDN'T GO ABOVE 20 MPH AND I HAD TO FLOOR THE GAS TO EVEN GET IT TO GO TO THAT SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS JERKING SO BAD, I HAD TO PULL OVER. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC AND IT TURNS OUT IT NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION WITH UNDER 100,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND ONLY 4 YEARS OLD WHEN IT HAPPENED! THIS CAR HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF WITH REGULAR SERVICING.

THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS CAR BEGAN SLIPPING AND REFUSED TO GO INTO GEAR. IT CLUNKED AND BUCKED ALONG AT LOW SPEEDS. ONCE IN DRIVE IT WAS FINE, BUT WOULD NOT GO INTO ANOTHER GEAR. WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT HOME AND THERE IS HAS SAT UNTIL 12/28/20 WHEN WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT TOWED. WHEN WE TRIED TO GET IT INTO GEAR, IT WOULD NOT MOVE FROM PARK TO NEUTRAL EVEN. WE DID NOT GO TO A DEALER AS THEY WERE TWICE AS FAR AS THE MECHANIC WE FOUND. NISSAN REFUSED TO CONSIDER A RECALL OR ISSUE EVEN WITH A SETTLED LAWSUIT ON OTHER CVT TRANSMISSIONS. THEY WOULDN'T EVEN PAY FOR THE TOW AND SIMPLY SAID "SORRY".

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE LEAVING ON A STOP LIGHT UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED AND JERKED WHILE THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED TO SHIFT. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO EXHIBIT THE SAME FAILURE. THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO FOX NISSAN OF GRAND RAPIDS (4430 28TH ST SE, GRAND RAPIDS, MI 49512, (616) 942-8040) BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO THE LOCAL DEALER HOWEVER, NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,000. *BF*JB

ROGUE TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING ON A MAIN ROAD. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS WERE ON. VEHICLE THEN WOULD SLOWLY SHUTTER AND AFTER A WEEK WOULD SHUTTER EVEN MORE BETWEEN 20-45 MPH. AFTER 60 MPH, THE CAR WOULD STRART TO REV ON ITS OWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING. IT ALSO STARTING HUMMING WITH ACCELERATION AND RATTLE WHEN I WOULD LET GO OF THE GAS PEDAL. SHIFTING INTO REVERSE WOULD TAKE MORE THAN 10 SECS TO SHIFT, AND SAME WITH GOING INTO DRIVE. THE WARMER THE CAR WAS, THE MORE IT SHUTTERED.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TAILGATE DOOR AND FUEL TANK WOULD OPEN INDEPENDENTLY WHILE PARKED AND NOT IN OPERATION. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT ONE DAY WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN HIS DRIVEWAY. THE VEHICLE SLIPPED OUT OF PARK, ROLLED DOWN A HILL, AND HIT A TREE IN HIS YARD. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY UPON IMPACT.

THE CONTACT INITIALLY CALLED RON MARHOFER NISSAN(247 HOWE AVE, CUYAHOGA FALLS, OH 44221) WHERE THEY REFERRED HIM TO THE MANUFACTURER. ONCE THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER, THEY INFORMED HIM THAT THEY WOULD SEND AN INVESTIGATOR TO HIS LOCAL DEALER TO HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED. THE CONTACT THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO GRAND BLANC NISSAN(8346 HOLLY RD, GRAND BLANC, MI 48439) WHERE THE INSPECTOR INFORMED HIM THAT THEY FOUND NO DEFECTS WITH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAD YET TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000.*DT THIS IS CORRESPONDENCE TO NISSAN. NISSAN INSPECTED CAR BUT COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM NOR DUPLICATE THE OCCURRANCE THEREFORE THEY SAID WAS NOT A PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE AND THEY WOULD DO NOTHING. NISSAN WOULD NOT LET ME WATCH AS THEY INSPECTED VEHICLE NOR WOULD THEY GIVE ME COPY OF THE REPORT. THEY SAID THE REPORT WAS PROPRIETARY. I DISAGREE. I FOUND OUT 34000 OF THIS MODEL WAS RECALLED FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM THE YEAR BEFORE IN 2015. SEE ATTACHMENTS. *JB*JB
