What 362 owners told NHTSA about the 2011 Nissan Rogue Select

AUTOMATIC CVT TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SLIPPING AND UNABLE TO SHIFT TO 3RD AND 4TH GEAR. I HAVE TO PLACE IT INTO "N" WHEN MOVING THEN SHIFT TO "D" THEN IT WOULD MOVE BUT STILL SLIPS WHEN DRIVING ONLY IN 20 TO 30 MILES PER HOUR.

CAR STARTED STUTTER AT ACCELERATION AND GEAR CHANGES. AT LOW SPEED AS I WAS ACCELERATING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, SUDDENLY THERE WAS NO POWER AT ALL AFTER A BURNING SMELL. DIAGNOSTICS SHOW THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED AT 89000 MILES. REMINISCENT OF THE CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURES IN OTHER YEARS THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED.

CAR STARTED MAKING SLIGHT WHIRRING NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING. TOOK IT IN TO BE LOOKED AT AND THEY COULDN'T FIND AN ISSUE. WENT ANOTHER WEEK AND THE NOISE GOT WORSE AND STARTING SKIPPING AND LOSING POWER WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AFTER IT'S BEEN SITTING FOR A FEW HOURS, MOSTLY JUST IN FIRST GEAR. ALMOST GOT IN AN ACCIDENT PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AND LOST COMPLETE POWER FOR A FEW SECONDS, WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET INTO A TURN LANE BEFORE I GOT HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC AND DETERMINED IT WAS TRANSMISSION AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THEY'RE TELLING ME MY CAR COULD TURN INTO A GIANT PAPERWEIGHT AT ANY MOMENT.

THIS LAST TIME TO THE NISSAN IN MY AREA, I HAD THEM LOOK AT MY PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR, AS THE SENSOR INDICATES OFF, EVEN IF THERE IS NO WEIGHT ON THE SEAT. MY SERVICE ADVISOR AND THE HEAD OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT BOTH SAID THAT IT'S NOT CLEAR IF THE AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY IF THE SENSOR IS OFF. THEY SAID I COULD GET IT REPLACED, BUT THE ISSUE IS: IT WILL COST $2,600 BECAUSE THEY NEED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE SEAT. COME TO FIND OUT, THIS IS ACTUALLY AN ISSUE REPORTED TO THE NHTSA FROM OTHER 2011 ROGUE OWNERS. I AM THE PRIMARY DRIVER IN MY FAMILY, BUT NOW I AM WORRIED TO TRANSPORT ANYONE. IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL, BUT THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT CAN CAUSE ME TO SELL MY VEHICLE AND NOT GET ANOTHER NISSAN. I AM NOW WORRIED OF GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT AND KNOWING FULL WELL MY AIRBAGS, THE ONE THING BUILT INTO THE VEHICLE TO KEEP PEOPLE SAFE, MAY OR MAY NOT DEPLOY, AND MAY OR MAY NOT KEEP PEOPLE SAFE. $2,600 TO FIX A CAR DEFECT ISN'T AN OPTION FOR ME. PLANNING A FUNERAL FOR SOMEONE WHO CHOOSES TO RIDE IN MY FRONT SEAT ISN'T AN OPTION EITHER. I AM TRULY AT A LOSS FOR WHAT TO DO NEXT, BUT I AM HEARTBROKEN THAT IT'S COME DOWN TO THOSE TWO OPTIONS. I WANTED TO KEEP MY ROGUE FOR A FEW YEARS MORE - I LOVE IT, BUT SAFETY IS MY NUMBER ONE PRIORITY. I WISH SAFETY WAS A PRIORITY TO NISSAN TO MAKE THIS A RECALL, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE PROFITS HAVE SURPASSED CUSTOMER SAFETY. THE SENSOR HAS BEEN ON FOR MONTHS, BUT THE FIRST TIME THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE.

TURNING ONTO EXSPRESS WAY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE TO DESIRED SPEED TO ENTER HIGHWAY . HAPPENS OTHER TIMES JUST IN DRIVING THE CAR WILL NOT HAVE ANY ACCELERATION POWER WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE . VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY ,.CARS BEHIND ME HONKING HORNS SOME GOING AROUND ME. I BELIEVE IT TO BE CVT AND TRANSMISSION . LUCKILY I FINALLY MADE IT ONTO HIGHWAY. TIMES LIKE THIS HAPPENS TOO FREQUENTLY ! SO FAR I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT BUT IF I HAVE TO KEEP DRIVING THIS CAR ,I DON'T KNOW . I HAVE HEARD FROM OTHER PEOPLE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS STILL ONGOING AND NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN BY NISSAN OTHER THAN REFUSING TO REIMBURSE THEM . SOME ONE HAS TO TAKE ACTION AND MAKE THEM RECALL ALL OF THE CARS AFFECTED BY THIS . NO PATCH JOBS LIKE ADDING TEMPERATURE COOLER TO SUPPOSEDLY COOL TRANSMISSION FLUID DOWN WHICH ACCORDING TO SOME PEOPLE IT DOESN'T WORK AND IF IT DOES WORK AT ALL IT EVENTUALLY FAILS AGAIN ! I PURCHASED THIS BRAND NEW IN FEB 2011 HAD OTHER PROBLEMS WITH IT ALSO BRAKES SCREECHING AND AIR CONDITIONER WENT OUT .THOSE REPAIRS CAME OUT OF MY POCKET .ALSO THEY WOULD NOT FIX MY BRAKES OR ACKNOWLEDGE THERE WAS EVEN A PROBLEM !ALL OF THIS WITH ONLY AROUND 65,OO MILES ON IT. I'M HOPING THAT SOME ONE WILL BE RESPONSIBLE AND TAKE ACTION AGAINST NISSAN. THANKS FOR TAKING MY COMPLAINT . I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT DATE IT STARTED HAPPENING BUT SOMEWHERE AROUND JUNE 2019

THIS VEHICLE IS VERY DANGEROUS TO OPERATE ON WARMER DAYS. THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO OVERHEAT VERY EASILY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO A FAIL-SAFE "LIMP MODE". THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS IT OCCURS ON THE HIGHWAY, ON HILLS, MOUNTAIN ROADS, AND WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. IT HAS PLACED ME IN DANGEROUS SAFETY SITUATIONS AND THE DEALERSHIP AND MANUFACTURER ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE EXISTS BUT TAKE NO FURTHER ACTION IN CORRECTING THE DANGEROUS FLAW.

2011 NISSAN ROGUE TRANSMISSION- I WAS PICKING MY DAD UP TO GO TO HOSPITAL WHERE MY SISTER WAS HAVING A HEART CATH, AS I PUT IT IN REVERSE IT STARTED JUMPING, MY DAD SAYS WHAT IS THAT IT FEELS LIKE YOUR TRANSMISSION. WE GO THROUGH MCDONALD'S DRIVE THUR AND IT STARTS JUMPING. WHEN LEAVING WORK IT STARTS JUMPING LOSING POWER SO I TOOK IT THE NEXT DAY TO EAST TN NISSAN THEY SAID IT WAS MY TRANSMISSION.
