CLOCK SPRING ISSUES, AS FAR AS I KNOW A CLOCK SPRING SHOULD LAST AS LONG AS THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE, UNLESS THERE IS AN ACCIDENT OR SOMETHING UNAVOIDABLE. DUE TO THIS ISSUE MY HORN STOPPED WORKING; THIS HAPPENED WHILE IN MOTION. I HOPE NISSAN TAKES RESPONSIBILITY AND REPLACES MY CLOCK SPRING AT NO CHARGE. ALSO, IN LESS THAN A MONTH TWO FRONT SIGNAL BULBS HAD TO BE REPLACED (LEFT AND RIGHT.)

AFTER AN 1.5 HOURS ON AN INTERSTATE (NON-STOP DRIVING) THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO DECELERATE SPEED. WITH NO LIGHT INDICATOR OR EXPLANATION. THE ACCELERATOR GAUGE IS GOING UP AND DOWN REALLY QUICKLY, LIKE THE CAR IS OUT OF SYNC WITH THE SPEED. NO INDICATOR LIGHT OR ANYTHING TURNS ON. I WILL BE GOING AT A SPEED OF 75 OR 80 AND WITHOUT WARNING, IT DECREASES IN SPEED. I CAN PUT THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND IT STILL CONTINUES TO SLOW DOWN. THERE IS NO OVERHEATING FUMES OR SMELL AT ALL. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND WAIT UNTIL THE ENGINE COOLS DOWN BEFORE RETURNING ONTO THE HIGHWAY. THIS HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME IN 2017 (PROBABLY 70,000 MILES) WHEN I TOOK A ROAD TRIP AND I THOUGH IT WAS A ONE TIME OCCURRENCE. UNFORTUNATELY, IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AFTERWARDS, BUT ALWAYS AFTER I'VE BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR. I'VE TAKEN IT IN TO BE SERVICED TWICE, THE WATER PUMPS WERE REPLACED, BUT STILL I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT HAPPENED SEPTEMBER 2020. I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS ISSUE UNTIL I LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW OTHERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE EXACT SAME THING. I JUST TRY NOT TO TAKE LONG ROAD TRIPS. DAY TO DAY DRIVING IS NOT AN ISSUES.

THE FUEL GAUGE IS READING INCORRECTLY. WHEN IT IS FULL IT WILL SAY HALF A TANK. I HAVE TRIED TO FILL UP AT MULTIPLE DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS TO ENSURE THAT TANK WAS FULL. IT JUST READS INCORRECTLY ALWAYS. WITH JUST A LITTLE OVER A HUNDRED THOUSAND MILES.

ON 7/28 AT APPROXIMATELY 8:45AM, AFTER PICKING MY HUSBAND UP AFTER 6 MONTHS BEING DEPLOYED RESPONDING TO THIS PANDEMIC, WITHOUT WARNING AND/OR NO INDICATION LIGHTS, I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN LOSS OF ACCELERATION ON MY 2012 NISSAN ROGUE. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING ON THE NEW JERSEY TURNPIKE. AS CARS AND TRACTOR-TRAILERS PASSING BY AT SPEED LIMITS, I HAD TO SLOWLY DRIFT TO GET TO SHOULDER. I HAD ONLY BEEN DRIVING ABOUT AN HOUR. I HAD TO TRY TO NAVIGATE SAFETY ACROSS LANES TO THE SHOULDER EVEN WITH PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR, THE CAR HAD ONLY LESS THAN 5 MILES ACCELERATION. ONCE ON THE SHOULDER, I CUT THE CAR OFF. AFTER ABOUT 40 MINS, I WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE AGAIN TO THE NEAREST EXIT WHICH THANKFULLY WAS LESS THAN A .25 AWAY BEFORE THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION AGAIN AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIFT INTO GAS STATION. UPON GETTING THE CAR TOWED TO NEAREST NISSAN DEALERSHIP, THE SERVICE REP TOLD ME THAT THE CVT/TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN A CONCERN FOR ROGUES AS WELL AS OTHER NISAAN CARS AND THAT THEIR DEALERSHIP HAS HAD TO SERVICE THEM. OF COURSE HE WOULD NEED TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND SURE ENOUGH DIAGNOSES CAME BACK AS CVT/TRANSMISSION ISSUE. THIS IS HORRIBLE AND A CONSUMER SAFETY CONCERN ISSUE. IT WAS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS SITUATION. NISSAN NEEDS A RECALL ON THEIR VEHICLES REGARDLESS OF COST- THEY NEED TO BE SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE TO THEIR CONSUMERS. MY SON ALSO HAS A NISSAN ALTIMA AND I AM TERRIFIED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THIS HAPPENING TO HIM. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS WITH THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY WARNING AND OR WARNING LIGHTS TO SUCH.

THERE IS A TPMS RECALL HOWEVER, MY VIN ISN'T SHOWN AS AFFECTED EVEN THOUGH THE TPMS LIGHT ON MY DASH HAS BEEN ON FOR OVER A YEAR. NO NOTIFICATION FROM NISSAN FOR MY VIN. JUST SEEMS MORE THAN A LITTLE "ODD" THAT IT'S A VALIDATED RECALL ISSUE BUT MINE ISN'T PART OF THE RECALL.

MY 2012 NISSAN ROGUE'S CVT TRANSMISSION IS BAD WIRH BIG NOISE. MY CAR'S MILEAGE IS 83000. I CHECK MY CAR PROBLEM ON INTERNET, SO MANY ROGUES HAVE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE MAKE RECALL 2012 ROGUE FOR TRANSMMISION.

MY CAR WILL LOSE ACCELERATION DURING A DRIVE LASTING MORE THAN ABOUT 90MIN AT GREATER THAN ABOUT 65MI/HR, SOONER IF IT'S HOTTER OUTSIDE. IT FIRST HAPPENED TO ME TRAVELING FROM TENNESSE TO FLORIDA THEN BACK. IT SLOWLY STARTED TO DECELERATE AND THE RPMS CLIMB IF YOU'RE NOT CAREFUL. I HAD TO PULL OVER A FEW TIMES TO LET THE CAR COOL DOWN IN ORDER TO CONTINUE. WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN 8HR DRIVE TURNED INTO A 10HR DRIVE. THAT WAS IN JUNE. NOT WE'RE IN JULY WHERE TEMPS HAVE BEEN 95⁰-100⁰ THE LAST FEW DAYS AND I'M PULLED OVER AGAIN WHILE TRAVELING, THIS TIME I ONLY MADE IT ABOUT 1HR. I'M HOPING NO DAMAGE HAS OCCURRED AND I CAN GET MOVING SOON. MY 4HR ROUND TRIP WILL BE MUCH LONGER TODAY. I WISH I'D KNOWN THIS ABOUT THE CVT BEFORE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE.

MY CAR MAKES A LOUD SCREECHING NOISE WHILE I DRIVE. IT STOPS AND STARTS WHEN MY SPEED CHANGES (I'M ASSUMING WHEN GEARS CHANGE) AND STAYS FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.

MY ROGUE HAS A HARD TIME ACCELERATING, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S HOT OUT AND I HAVE THE AC ON. RECENTLY, WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL, I HAVE TO RELY ON THE MOMENTUM OF THE STOP AND GO TO CARRY ME. EVENTUALLY IT DOES ACCELERATE, BUT I HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE AC IS OFF. IT STARTED HAPPENING WHEN THE WEATHER TURNED WARMER. I GET REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND MAKE SURE MY FLUID ARE FLUSHED AND WITHIN A GOOD RANGE.

SUN VISORS NO LONGER STAY IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION AT ANY TIME. THEY PRODUCE A HAZARD BY CONSTANTLY BLOCKING YOUR VIEW OF THE HIGHWAY. VEHICLE HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

BESIDES THE TRANSMISSION BEING REPLACED TO IT BEING FAULTY, NOW THE A/C IS NOT WORKING !!! I HAVE NEVER USED IT SINCE OBTAINING THIS VEHICLE ! BLOWING HOT AIR AND WHEN I START THE CAR, I HEAR A TICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE LEFT SIDE WHERE THE A/C MOTOR IS , I THOUGHT IT NEEDED RECHARGING BUT IT WON'T TAKE A CHARGE! *TR

FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AT 60 000 MILES

NHTSA ODI 11306564

THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS FLASHING SO WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG STAYS OFF EVEN WITH A PERSON IN THE SEAT. THEY STATED IT IS THE OCCUPANCY SENSOR AND WANTED OVER $2,000 TO FIX IT. I HAD THE NISSAN EXTEND WARRANTY WHICH THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY SAID MY 2012 ROGUE WAS NOT PART OF ANY OF THE YEARS FOR THE OCCUPANCY SENSOR THAT WERE RECALLED. IF THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE SAME REASON, WHY WOULD THIS NOT BE COVERED? WHY IF THE SENSOR FAILS IT WOULD DEFAULT TO KEEP AIRBAGS FROM WORKING?. NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME IT WAS PASS THE 3 YEARS /36000 SO THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR IT.

IN NOVEMBER 2017, WHILE DRIVING IN ONE OF THE PASSING LANES ON QEW DRIVING FROM BUFFALO, NY TO TORONTO, CANADA, AT APPX 70 MPH, THE CAR STARTED LOSING POWER AND SPEED. THE RPM STARTED REVVING ALOT BUT THE CAR SPEED DECREASED RAPIDLY. THE CARS BEHIND ME ALMOST REAR ENDED ME AT THIS SPEED. I WAS ON A 4 LANE THRUWAY AND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO PULL TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD TO THE SHOULDER BECAUSE ALL OF THE CARS WERE SPEEDING AROUND ME. QUITE FRANKLY, IT WAS A TERRIFYING SITUATION TO BE IN AS SEMI TRUCKS AND OTHER CARS GOING 70 - 80+ MPH WERE SPEEDING UP BEHIND YOU AS YOUR VEHICLE LOST POWER. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND LET THE CAR REST FOR ABOUT 1/2 HOUR THEN STARTED TO DRIVE AGAIN. I DROVE THE NEXT 30 MILES AT APPX 35-40 MPH WITH MY 4 WAY FLASHERS ON. THE CAR DID EVENTUALLY GET BACK TO SPEED AND SEEM TO DRIVE NORMAL. MILEAGE WAS APPX 125,000- 130,000. THIS HAPPENED A SECOND TIME IN MARCH 2019. I DROVE APPX 65 MILES ON COUNTRY ROADS IN A RURAL AREA TO PICK UP MY ELDERLY MOTHER TO TAKE HER TO THE HOSPITAL. THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER. THE RPM'S WERE GOING CRAZY, THE CAR LOST POWER. AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES, THE CAR EVENTUALLY GOT BACK TO SPEED AGAIN. I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE HER TO THE HOSPITAL IN MY CAR AND FORTUNATELY A NEIGHBOR LET ME USE THEIR CAR TO TRANSPORT MY MOM TO THE HOSPITAL. THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO DRIVE MY CAR THE 75 MILES BACK HOME AND IT DROVE OKAY BUT I WAS VERY WORRIED I WOULD NOT MAKE IT HOME. MILEAGE WAS APPX 145,000. THIS HAPPENED A 3RD TIME AUGUST OF 2019 WHILE TRAVELING WB ON THE NYS I-90 THRUWAY. AGAIN, I WAS IN THE PASSING LANE TRAVELING ABOUT 70 MPH WHEN THE RPM'S STARTED GOING CRAZY AND THE CAR LOST POWER. THIS TIME A SEMI TRUCK WAS BEHIND ME AND QUICKLY CLOSING IN ON MY CAR. AGAIN, IT WAS TOUGH TO GET TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD TO GET OUT OF FAST MOVING TRAFFIC. MILEAGE APPX 160,000.

THE NISSAN ROGUE HAS A CVT TRANSMISSION, WHICH IS KNOWN TO FAIL. AND HAS TO REPLACES AND NOT REPAIRED OR REBUILT.

I REPORTED A FIRE COMPLAINT BACK IN THE SUMMER TO YOU ON THIS VEHICLE. NOW MY ACCELERATOR JUST SUDDENLY QUITS WORKING. I REPORTED THIS TO DOWNTOWN NASHVILLE NISSAN AROUND JUNE 2019. THEY SAID NO CODE CAME UP. IT HAS SINCE BEEN HAPPENING MORE AND MORE. TWICE WHEN I WAS TRYING TO GET ON THE INTERSTATE. TWO WEEKS AGO IT HAPPENED FIVE TIMES IN A ROW AND WOULDN'T GO OVER 30 MPH. WHEN I WOULD LET COMPLETELY OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND PUSH IT AGAIN IT JUMPS LIKE ALL OF THE ENERGY BUSTS THROUGH AT ONCE. I HAVE SINCE DONE RESEARCH AND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE STILL ONLY HAS LESS THAN 59,000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I AM SURE PEOPLE HAVE HAD TO HAVE DIED BECAUSE OF IT BUT SINCE THEY ARE DEAD THEY CAN'T REPORT IT. I HAVE MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS AND IT MAKES THE SAFETY ISSUE EVEN WORSE. I CAN'T WALK VERY FAR IF I GET STRANDED. IF I DON'T GET REAR ENDED ON THE INTERSTATE BEFORE THAT HAPPENS. NISSAN IS VERY AWARE OF THIS. EVEN ROGUES WITH 8,000 MILES ARE DOING THIS. IT ISN'T A MATTER OF JUST BEING STRANDED SOMEWHERE. VEHICLE WAS MOVING EVERY TIME ON INTERSTATE AND CITY STREETS. THE VEHICLE WON'T SHOW A CODE TO THE DEALER SO THEY SAY I HAVE TO TAKE A VIDEO WITH MY FOOT PUSHING DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR AND SHOWING THE SPEED THAT I AM GOING. NEVER MIND THAT I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ON THE INTERSTATE IN A VEHICLE THAT IS FAILING. THE DATE I AM GIVING YOU IS JUST THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED.
