NHTSA ODI 11208605

MY VEHICLE GETS WATER ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR, UP TO AN INCH AND CAUSES ELECTRICAL ISSUES. NISSAN STATED THEY FIXED THE ISSUE BUT DID NOT DEAL MY VEHICLE AND IT'S NOT THEIR PROBLEM AFTER THE FIRST FIX. WATER IS THERE WHEN DRIVING, PARKED OR ANY TIME THE ROAD IS WET OR RAINING.

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE MEADOWBROOK STATE PKW TODAY (04/29/19) ABOUT 2MIN IN , THE TRAFFIC CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP FOR ABOUT 30 SEC , I SLOWLY STARTED TO ACCELERATE BUT NOTICED THE CAR WAS ROLLING BACKWARDS . I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THE LEAVER WAS STILL IN DRIVE , WHICH IT WAS , I MABE A SECOND ATTEMP BUT STILL ROLLING BACKWARDS BY THEN TGE PERSON BEHIND ME STARTED HONKING . I IMMEDIATELY TURN MY FLAHER ON , PUT IT INTO PARK AND TURN THE IGNITION OFF WAITED A LITTLE THEN TURN THE ENGINE BACK ON PUT IT BACK INTO DRIVE THEN IT STARTED MOVING FORWARD . I AM SGAKEN UP OVER THE FACT THAT I COULD HAVE ACCELERATE HARDER AND THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT .

IT STARTED AS JUST A CRACKING NOISE ONLY WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL TO MAKE TURNS AND TOOK IT TO 2 DIFFERENT MECHANICS BUT NEITHER COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WAS SO NOW MY CAR IS PARKED TIL I CAN COME UP WITH ALMOST 700 TO 800 DOLLARS TO HAVE THE CV AXELS AND MORE REPLACED .

VEHICLE PASSEGER AIRBAG SENSOR IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS DEFECTIVE, AFTER SPEAKING WITH MY MECHANIC, I WAS INFORMED IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE, BUT THERE WAS CURRENTLY NO RECALL. THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WAS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SEAT TO THE TUNE OF $2500. NISSAN NEEDS TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE " KNOWN ISSUE".

AS THE CAR PICKS UP SPPED IT LOOSES POWER .YOU CAN ONLY GO 20 MILES AN HOUR OR LESS. IF YOU LET THE CAR COOL DOWN IT WILL PICK UP SPEED BUT 15 MINUTES LATER THE SAME THING CONTINUES TO OCCURE..

NISSAN WAS WELL AWARE THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION ON MY 2011 NISSAN ROGUE WAS EVENTUALLY GOING TO GIVE OUT. WHY ONLY RECALL SOME VEHICLES WHEN CLEARLY MY TRUCK IS PART OF THAT RECALL. I'M A SINGLE MOTHER OF 2 KIDS. I WORK HARD AND NEED MY CAR FOR WORK. I HAVE ONE YEAR LEFT TO PAY ON MY TRUCK AND NOW I'M STUCK PAYING FOR A CAR I CAN'T DRIVE. MY TRANSMISSION BLEW WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH ALMOST COST ME MY LIFE. NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST TO FIX MY TRUCK. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN CAR AND I WILL TELL ANYONE WHO LISTENS HOW CRUEL THIS COMPANY IS. BEWARE AND STAY AWAY FROM ANY VEHICLE THAT HAVE THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I WILL BE REPORTING THIS TO THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU.

THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS MADE ABOUT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DEFECT IN THE 2011 NISSAN ROUGE. MY CAR FAILED THE STATE INSPECTION BECAUSE THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS BLINKING ON THE DASH BOARD. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AS NO ONE ELSE WAS ABLE TOO. NISSAN INFORMED ME THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE ONLY WAY TO REPLACE THE SENSOR IS TO COMPLETELY REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT AT A PRICE OF $2,000. IF THE SENSOR IS SO BURIED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THAT THE ENTIRE SEAT HAS TO BE REPLACED, THEN THAT IS A FACTORY DEFECT AND IS NISSAN'S RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX IT AT THEIR EXPENSE. YOU WOULD THINK THAT WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS AND THE FACT THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD, NISSAN WOULD WANT TO RECALL AND HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED! OF COURSE, THEN THEY COULDN'T COLLECT $2,000 FOR EVERY SEAT REPLACED FOR THIS DEFECT. THE WARNING LIGHT JUST STARTED BLINKING ABOUT A MONTH AGO, BUT WHO KNOWS HOW LONG THE AIR BAG HAS BEEN DEFECTIVE , MAYBE THE LIGHT DOESN'T BLINK UNTIL IT IS CRITICAL BECAUSE THE AIR BAG BUTTON ALWAYS SHOWED THE AIR BAG AS OFF NO MATTER HOW BIG OR SMALL THE PERSON SITTING IN THE SEAT WAS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND ATTENTION SHOULD BE PAID!

ELECTRICAL FUNCTION IN THE VEHICLE IT'S LIKE IT HAS A SHORTAGE IN IT. WHEN I PLUG MY GPS OR MY PHONE IT WOULD GO OUT, AND NOT CHARGING. ALSO THE USB PORTAL ALSO GOES OUT. THIS IS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS DRIVING OR WHEN IT'S PARK.

NHTSA ODI 11173182

WHEN OPENING THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR IN BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES, THE MECHANISM USED TO OPEN THE LATCH FREEZES AND FALLS OUT OF THE LATCH DEVICE. THIS CAUSES THE DOOR TO BE INOPERABLE FROM THE INSIDE AND THE OUTSIDE WHICH CAN BE A SAFETY HAZARD IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION.

NHTSA ODI 11171573

NISSAN DID EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 10 YEARS AND 120,000 MILES FOR THE TRANSMISSION UP TO YEAR 2010. MY VEHICLE IS A 2011 WHICH FALLS SHORT OF THERE WARRANTY. THEY SHOULD HAVE GIVE THIS WARRANTY TO ALL THERE VEHICLES IF THEY WERE SURE THEY FIX THE ISSUE.

WITH NO PRIOR WARNING AS I WAS COMING UP MY DRIVEWAY AND TURNED TO GO INTO THE GARAGE, SUDDENLY, WITHOUT WARNING, MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS PUSHED.

AT AROUND 92,000 MILES (EXACTLY A MONTH AFTER MY 90,000 MILE SERVICE AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP) ON 11/15/2018, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED ON AN EXIT RAMP OF I-40 AT LEBANON, TN. THE CAR WOULD LURCH AND GO FORWARD SO I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE EXIT RAMP AND INTO A PARKING LOT. AAA TOWED CAR TO NISSAN COOKEVILLE WHERE THEY SAID A LOW PUMP PRESSURE CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. THEY REPLACED THIS TRANSMISSION WITH A REBUILT TRANSMISSION AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE 150 MILES BACK HOME. ON 11/29/2018, WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT AFTER PULLING OFF I-140 IN ALCOA, TN, I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND MY CAR WOULD NOT GO. I WAS SITTING IN THE MIDDLE LANE AT 5:30PM ON A DARK, RAINY THURSDAY NIGHT. I HAD TO CALL 911. IT TOOK A POLICE OFFICER 10 TO 15 MINUTES TO GET THERE. THE AREA WHERE I WAS IS RIGHT OFF I-140 EXIT RAMP. I ENDED UP BACKING TRAFFIC UP ON AN INTERSTATE BECAUSE MY CAR WOULD NOT GO. THANKFULLY, NO ONE WRECKED INTO ME. SINCE I COULD NOT TOW MY CAR 150 MILES BACK TO COOKEVILLE, I TOOK IT TO THE ALCOA DEALERSHIP. WHERE I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THE REPLACED TRANSMISSION FROM THE COOKEVILLE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. SO, I AM OUT OVER $4,000, HAVE NO TRANSPORTATION, AND HAVE NO INCOME TO BUY A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE $4,000 I SPENT 2 WEEKS AGO ON ANOTHER TRANSMISSION. I AM TERRIFIED OF CVT TRANSMISSIONS. I AM SICKENED THAT I HAVE NO RESOURCES TO HELP ME AT LEAST FIGHT THE $4,000 FOR THE TRANSMISSION THAT FAILED 2 WEEKS AFTER BEING PUT IN MY CAR. THIS CAR IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE, AS EVIDENCED BY THE FACT THAT I WAS BLOCKING TRAFFIC IN A MAJOR INTERSECTION, IN THE RAIN, AT NIGHT, DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC. I DO NOT HAVE THE DOCUMENTATION WITH ME AS IT IS WITH MY CAR AT THE ALCOA DEALERSHIP, BUT I WILL BE WILLING TO PROVIDE ONCE I AM ABLE TO GET TO MY CAR.

ON 11/3/18, I STOPPED MY 2011NISSAN ROGUE TO LET A FRIEND OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND NOTHING HAPPENED. THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR. I HAD IT TOWED TO AAA THE NEXT DAY AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE CVT TRANSMISSION. THEY ADVISED ME TO CONTACT NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS BECAUSE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THEY SEE WITH NISSANS AND CONSUMER AFFAIRS WOULD BE ABLE TO HELP. I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS ON NOVEMBER 5 AND "ADAM" WAS VERY UNDERSTANDING. HE CHECKED MY VIN # AND SAID THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT SPECIFICALLY COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT THAT NISSAN WOULD STILL BE WILLING TO ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR COSTS. HE SAID I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A NISSAN SERVICE CENTER AND HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC DONE BY THEM AS A FIRST STEP. I TOLD HIM A DIAGNOSTIC HAD ALREADY BEEN DONE BY AAA, BUT HE SAID NISSAN HAD TO DO IT THEMSELVES IN ORDER TO MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS. I THEN HAD THE CAR TOWED TO SANSONE 66 IN NEPTUNE CITY, NJ. I HAD ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC DONE WHICH CONFIRMED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I THEN CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AGAIN TO ADVISE THEM THAT THE DIAGNOSTIC WAS COMPLETED. THEY TOLD ME THAT A DIFFERENT DEPARTMENT IN NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS WOULD BE CONTACTING ME THE NEXT DAY WITH INFORMATION ON HOW MY PROBLEM WAS GOING TO BE RESOLVED. I WAS THEN CONTACTED BY CONSUMER AFFAIRS REP "QUINCY" ON NOVEMBER 11. SHE ADVISED ME THAT SHE WOULD BE MAKING THE DECISION ON HOW/IF NISSAN WOULD BE RESOLVING MY CVT PROBLEM. I ASKED HER IF SHE HAD RECEIVED A COPY OF THE DIAGNOSTIC REPORT FROM SANSONE SO SHE COULD USE THAT TO RENDER HER DECISION. SHE SAID THAT SHE HAD NOT, BUT THAT HER DECISION WOULD IN LARGE PART BE BASED ON "CUSTOMER LOYALTY". I ASKED WHAT SHE MEANT AND WAS TOLD THAT SHE WAS REFERRING TO PAST SERVICE HISTORY AT NISSAN DEALERS. SHE DENIED ME ANY ASSISTANCE WITH THE REPAIR.

EVERY TIME I'M MAKING A TURN OR PARALLEL PARK MY STEERING WHEEL PULLS BACK WITH FORCE AND LOCKS MAKING IT HARD TO STEER. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN A MONTH AGO. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE BECAUSE EVERY TIME I TURN THE WHEEL WILL PULL THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION LOCKING UP. MAKING VERY HARD TO CONTROL.
