What 362 owners told NHTSA about the 2011 Nissan Rogue Select

WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL, THE ENGINE DOES NOT GO. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, OVER TEN, I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE (APPROXIMATELY 70MPH) AND THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO DECELERATE. IT DOES IT IF THE CRUISE CONTROL IS SET OR IF I AM MANUALLY PRESSING THE GAS. IT HAS DROPPED AS LOW AS 30 MPH WITHOUT RECOVERY AND I HAVE TO STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR 20-39 MINUTES AND THEN ATTEMPT TO DRIVE AGAIN EITHER VERY SLOWLY (APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH) AND/OR STOP FREQUENTLY TO LET THE ENGINE "REST".

CVT TRANSMISSION AND COOLER - VEHICLE RANDOMLY DROPS ACCELERATION. WHEN ACCELERATION DROPS, THE CAR WILL NOT GO ABOVE 40MPH EVEN IF YOU PUT THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, AND THE RPMS RISE TO 8. NO RHYME OR REASON. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS TRANSMISSION. NISSAN ONLY EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 2010 MODELS, YET THIS IS THE EXACT ISSUE COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THERE ARE MANY OTHER NISSAN OWNERS WITH 2011 MODELS WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING LONG DISTANCES AT HIGH SPEEDS (75-80MPH) THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING EVEN WITH GAS PEDAL FLOORED. THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY DECELERATED TO 50 MPH AND MAXED OUT AT 60 MPH. WE PULLED THE CAR OVER AND CHECKED ALL FLUIDS, WHICH PROVED NORMAL. WE TURNED THE CAR OFF TO LET IT COOL FOR A FEW MINUTES. ONCE THE CAR WAS TURNED BACK ON IT DROVE NORMALLY FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND THEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. THIS PATTERN CONTINUED FOR THE ENTIRE 7 HOUR ROAD TRIP. ONCE WE TOOK THE CAR INTO A NISSAN SHOP, WE WERE TOLD THAT NOTHING WAS FOUND DURING DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. WE WERE ALSO TOLD THIS WAS A REOCCURRING PROBLEM WITH NISSAN ROGUES DUE TO OVERHEATING OF TRANSMISSION/TRANSMISSION FLUID. IT WAS EXPLAINED TO US THAT NISSAN HAS NOT MADE A RECALL ON THIS, BUT HAS ONLY PROVIDED WARRANTIES FOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES ON 2008-2010 MODELS. UNFORTUNATELY MINE IS A 2011. THIS PUT MY FAMILY IN VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS AS WE WERE ON INTERSTATES WITH CARS AND SEMI TRUCKS TRAVELING AT VERY HIGH VELOCITIES. SEMI TRUCKS WERE HONKING AND FLASHING LIGHTS AT US OUT OF ANGER AS IT PUT THEM IN DANGER AS WELL. THIS COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED A ROAD RAGE INCIDENT.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,785.

TAKATA RECALL I WOULD LIKE TO INFORM EVERYONE OF OUR ISSUE ON OUR 2011 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WE LOST ALL POWER IN AN INSTANT. THIS IS NOT SAFE! WE ALSO SAW THE ISSUE OF NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE AND EVEN WHEN ON CRUISE CONTROL IT COMPLETELY FALLING OFF DUE TO LACK OF POWER.

THE 2011 NISSAN ROGUE HAS A PROBLEM THAT IS COMMON WITH ALL OF THEM. WHEN GOING UPHILL IN THE VEHICLE IT LOOSES SPEED AND CAN NO LONGER ACCELERATE. THE CAR WILL SLOW DOWN TO AROUND 40 MPH. IT DEPENDS USUALLY ON THE GRADE OF THE HILL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS SEMI TRUCKS CAN GO FASTER THAN WHAT THE VEHICLE IS GOING WHILE GOING UPHILL. CARS ARE TRYING TO PASS SEMI TRUCKS AND IF THE SEMI TRUCK HAS TO SLOW DOWN GOING UP HILL THEN THEY GET ROAD RAGED AND THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. NISSAN WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THIS ISSUE AND DEMAND THAT AN INVESTIGATION BE LAUNCHED FOR THIS TYPE OF CAR. I KNOW THAT MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED ON MULTIPLE CAR COMPLAINT WEBSITES ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE WITH THIS EXACT YEAR AND MODEL OF CAR. IF IT IS HAPPENING IN MANY OF THE VEHICLES THEN IT IS SOMETHING THAT IS BUILT INTO THE CAR THAT NISSAN SHOULD KNOW ABOUT AND SHOULD BE HELP RESPONSIBLE TO FIX. ANOTHER COMMON RESULT IN ALL THE VEHICLES, THIS ISSUE JUST HAPPENS TO OCCUR RIGHT AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRES...50,000 MILES.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS 75MPH ALL OF A SUDDEN MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO ANY FASTER THAN 40 MPH, ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR. THIS HAPPENED TO ME ON A FEW DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, HOWEVER NO WARNING LIGHTS EVER CAME ON. IF I PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF IT SEEMED TO PERFORM "NORMAL" AGAIN. AND THIS ONLY HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING A LONG DISTANCE. UPON THE RETURN FROM MY LAST "LONG" TRIP A LIGHT DID COME ON. I TOOL IT TO MY DEALER IMMEDIATELY. THE DIAGNOSIS IN A VALVE BODY, WHICH I UNDERSTAND IS INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. THE FACTORY WARRANTY HAS RUN OUT (BY 6,000 MILES) AT THIS POINT AND THE DEALER IS SAYING THAT THEY WONT REPLACE THE VALVE BODY WITHOUT PUTTING AN "EXTERNAL COOLANT" ON AT THE SAME TIME, BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT NISSAN IS SAYING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. MY 3RD PARTY WARRANTY COMPANY WILL ONLY COVER THE COST OF THE VALVE BODY REPLACEMENT, BECAUSE THEY FEEL IT IS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE GOING GOOD FOR. NISSAN WANTS TO CHARGE ME $1000.00 FOR THAT EXTERNAL COOLANT!!!! AFTER DOING MY RESEARCH, THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM AND UP UNTIL MODEL YEAR 2010 NISSAN WAS GOING GOOD FOR THE ISSUE. ANYTHING BEYOND 2010 THEY WILL NOT. AFTER CONTACTING NISSAN TO REQUEST ASSISTANCE FOR THIS, THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY REQUEST WAS DENIED AND THAT THIS IS WHERE THEY STAND. MY BIGGER ISSUE IS THAT HOW CAN A COMPANY AS REPUTABLE AS NISSAN NOT GO GOOD FOR A MANUFACTURING MISTAKE ON THEIR PART!? HOW IS IT MY PROBLEM THAT THEY DIDN'T OUT THIS COOLANT ON IN THE FIRST PLACE, AND HOW IS IT NOT A SAFETY RECALL WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70+ MPH AND THEN SUDDENLY CANT GO ANY FASTER THAN 40!!? IS IT BECAUSE NOBODY HAS BEEN KILLED YET!? IF YOU DO YOUR RESEARCH YOU WILL CLEARLY SEE THAT THIS IS AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AS WELL AS OTHERS MANUFACTURED BY NISSAN. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM A OUT OF TOWN TRIP AND ALL OF SUDDEN LOST POWER TO ACCELERATE. I COULDN'T NOT GET ANY SPEED AND CARS WERE DRIVING UP BEHIND ME ABOUT TO HIT ME AND MY FAMILY. I COULDN'T NOT ACCELERATE ENOUGH TO PULL OVER. NISSAN ADVISED IT WAS THE CVT TRANSMISSION WHICH THEY ARE NOT RECALLING. THIS IS DANGEROUS.

ON JULY 23, 2015, I WAS DRIVING HOME AT 35 MILES PER HOUR AND SUDDENLY MY VEHICLE STALLED LIGHTS FLASHED ON DASH BOARD. I TURNED EVERYTHING OFF AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART IT AND ONLY HEARD A TREMBLING NOISE AND CLICKING OF THE DASHBOARD. IN 1 HOUR I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AFTER GETTING IT JUMPED. BATTERY WAS TESTED BY DEALER ON JULY 22,2015 RIGHT BEFORE I PURCHASED MY ROGUE 2011( USED). SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED IN PARKING LOT OF A STORE WHERE I PARKED TO SHOP ON JULY 31ST,2015. I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART MY VEHICLE UNTIL IT GOT JUMPED AGAIN. THIS VEHICLE PASSED ALL INSPECTIONS AT THE DEALER AND SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITH BATTERY, HOWEVER IT IS APPEARING THAT IPDM IS FAULTY AND COULD CAUSE A CRASH AND EVEN DEATH OF MY FAMILY ANYTIME THIS HAPPENS AGAIN WHILE I'M DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE START RECALL SO NO ONE DIES DUE TO THIS PROBLEM!

THIS INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED TWICE IN EXACTLY THE SAME MANNER: I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT; WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED, AND I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR, THERE WAS NO RESPONSE AS THE CAR ROLLED INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. I PUSHED SEVERAL TIMES AS TRAFFIC WAITED BEHIND ME. SUDDENLY IT "CAUGHT," THE POWER RETURNED, AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE (THE ENGINE DID NOT REV WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS PRESSED). LIKE OTHERS, I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED (AS ARE THOSE WHO COMMUTE WITH ME), ABOUT BEING CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION AND HIT BROAD-SIDED. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE ALSO HAS A PROBLEM WITH A BLINKING AIR-BAG WARNING LIGHT (BEGAN IN OCT.) WHICH WE TRIED TO HAVE FIXED AT THE SAME TIME. THE DEALERSHIP RESET IT, BUT UPON DRIVING OUT THE OF THE LOT, IT BEGAN BLINKING AGAIN. WE WERE TOLD IT WAS A "POSSIBLE INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH AIR BAG MODULE OR SPIRAL CABLE," AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR WHICH HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED YET. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING DOWN I-95 WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AT A SPEED OF 75 -78 MPH FROM MARYLAND TO GEORGIA, SOMEWHERE ALONG NORTH CAROLINA MY ENGINE STARTED TO LOOSE ACCELERATION. IT DID NOT DIE OUT. I HAD TO PULL OVER BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT GO OVER 60 MPH WITH THE GAS PEDDLE PRESS ALL THE WAY DOWN. ONCE I TURN THE ROUGE OFF AND WAITED ABOUT 5 MINUTES I HEARD A CLICK AND STARTED IT VEHICLE UP AND DROVE WITH NO PROBLEMS UNTIL I WAS ABOUT A 100 MILES FROM GEORGIA AND HAD TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN. THERE WAS NO CODES LIGHTS AND I STILL PUT A READER ON IT AND NOTHING SHOWED UP. IT HAS BEEN PUZZLING IF YOU ACCELERATE FOR TO LONG AND THE VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN IN TRAFFIC. *TR

WAS DRIVING MY 2011 ROUGE HOME ON A 120 MILE TRIP ON THE INTERSTATE AND AFTER ABOUT AND HOUR OF DRIVING THE CALL SUDDENLY REFUSED TO ACCELERATE PAST 3000 RPM. THERE WAS ABOUT 20 MILES BETWEEN EXISTS AND THIS BECAME A SAFETY CONCERN WHILE TRYING TO CLIMB AN INCLINE; THE CAR DECELERATED FROM 70 MPH TO 45 MPH AND I COULD NOT DO ENOUGH TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF OTHER TRAFFIC. AFTER 15 MILES OR SO OF DRIVING, IT RETURNED TO NORMAL. IT HAS SINCE OCCURRED 3 MORE TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE FOR TRIPS OVER AN HOUR. I TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP ON 4/21/14 AND WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE NO CODES WERE PRODUCED. *TR

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WILL LOSE POWER TO THE POINT IT ALMOST FILLS AS IF IT WILL SHUT OFF. USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN STARTING OFF ON A GRADE OR SLOWING FOR A TURN THEN PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL. THE CAR ALSO SHUDDERS AND FEELS LIKE IT CHUGGING OR WOBBLING ALONG, AS IF THE ROAD IT LUMPY. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE ISSUE, BUT NO RECALL OR SERVICE BULLETINS HAVE BEEN ISSUED. WHEN IT ALMOST COMPLETELY LOSES POWER ITS VERY SCARY, AS IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE TRYING TO MERGE ONTO THE INTERSTATE. I HAVE A YOUNG CHILD AND IT HAS PUT US BOTH IN DANGER MORE THAN ONCE SINCE BUYING THE CAR USED IN JULY 2013. *TR

SINCE APRIL OF 2011 (VEHICLE WAS 4 MONTHS OLD) I HAVE HAD MY CAR INTO NISSAN FOR AUTO LIGHTS NOT FUNCTIONING (NOT SHUTTING OFF WHEN IN DAYLIGHT), MY IPOD TURNS ON WHEN THE AUDIO IS OFF AND THE ELECTRONIC DRIVER SEAT MOVES FORWARD BY ITSELF. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED AND "SERVICED" MORE THAN 10 TIMES ALREADY AND EACH TIME IT IS "CANNOT REPRODUCE ALTHOUGH THEY SEE IT HAPPENING. THE LAST INCIDENT WAS SATURDAY, 12/14/12 WHEN THE SETTING ON THE DASH CHANGED BY THEMSELVES AND MY TRUNK WOULD NOT OPEN WITH THE IGNITION ON. ON SUNDAY MORNING, MY CAR ENGINE WAS LOCKED AND MY SMART KEY NOR THE REGULAR KEY WOULD UNLOCK THE STEERING COLUMN. I WAS OUT OF STATE WHEN IT OCCURRED AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A DEALER IN CT, I LIVE IN NY. NOW THEY CLAIM THAT ALL THE ABOVE WAS CAUSED BY A UNDERSIZED BATTERY. THEY INSTALLED A 700AMP IN MY CAR NOW STANDARD BATTERY THAT CAME WITH THE CAR IS 575 AMP. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE? HOW CAN THEY SAY THIS IS THE ISSUE. HOW CAN THEY MANUFACTURE CARS WITH UNDERSIZED BATTERIES AND NOT HAVE IT ON A RECALL OR ISSUES LIST ANYWHERE? EVEN THE DEALER IN CONNECTICUT WAS PUZZLED. I CANNOT SAY IOF THIS IS GOING TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT I CAN TELL YOU, I WILL NOT TAKE THIS LYING DOWN. NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS IS TOTALLY USELESS AND THERE IS NO CONSUMER IN THIS DEPARTMENT, THEY ARE A WASTE OF TIME. I FILED TWO COMPLAINTS 8 MONTHS APART REGARDING THE SAME ISSUES # 7274639 AND 10257638. BOTH WENT UNRESOLVED AND IGNORED., THEY KEEP CLAIMING THEY ARE WITHIN THEIR WARRANTY GUIDELINES. WHAT GUIDELINES - THE VEHICLE IS AN OBVIOUS LEMON. NOT SURE HOW TO FILE FOR THE LEMON LAW OR ACT ON THIS AS THIS CAR IS UNSAFE AND UNRELIABLE. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *TR
