What 317 owners told NHTSA about the 2012 Nissan Rogue Select

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE BETWEEN 70-80MPH MY VEHICLE DROPPED TO 60MPH AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 60MPH, THEN WHEN PULLING OFF AN EXIT SCARED IT WOULDN'T GO PAST 20MPH. THIS PUT MY SON AND I'S SAFETY AT SERIOUS RISK WITH HAVING NO CONTROL OVER ACCELERATION. I GOT TO A MECHANIC WHICH DID A DIAGNOSTIC AND TOLD ME IT WAS TORQUE CONVERTER WITH TRANSMISSION. THE CAR ONLY HAS 65K MILES. THIS IS INSANE TO HAVE THESE ISSUES AND CLEARLY THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. I FORTUNATELY PURCHASED A TRANSMISSION WARRANTY. WAITING TO SEE WHAT THE TOTAL DAMAGE IS. THIS SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE A SAFETY RECALL.

NISSAN INSTALLED DEFECTIVE CVT TRANSMISSIONS IN SEVERAL VEHICLES BETWEEN 2010-2016. MY 2012 NISSAN ROGUE IS INCLUDED IN THAT. I AM NOW BEING TOLD THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION, AND NISSAN IS REFUSING TO REPLACE. IT. MY VEHICLE STARTS FINE, BUT THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE, I'VE FOUND NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE, AND I FEEL THERE NEEDS TO BE A FURTHER INVESTIGATION, AND RECALL ON THIS CVT TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE STARTS, BUT WHEN YOU TRY AND ACCELERATE, THE RPMS GO UP, BUT NOTHING HAPPENS, THEN IT WILL SCREECH AND LURCH FORWARD. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHO CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE SALESPERSON AT THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED ME THAT NISSAN WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE OLDER CVT TRANSMISSIONS, AND HAVE FIXED IT IN THE NEW 2019 MODELS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, AS MY TRANSMISSION FAILED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, WITH NO WARNING. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED LINKS FOR SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS, AND CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS, INVOLVING NISSAN'S CVT TRANSMISSION.

MY CAR FAILED INSPECTION DUE TO A DEFECTIVE MASS AIR FLOW. I HAVE JUST CHANGED THE MASS AIR FLOW, AND MY CAR STILL CONTINUES TO SHOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE VEHICLE DRIVES REALLY SLOW THE GAS MILEAGE IS TERRIBLE,

MY NISSAN ROGUE 2012 CAUGHT FIRE. UPON STARTING THE CAR WHEN THE IGNITION TURNED OVER, THE IGNITION COIL CAUGHT FIRE! THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND IN THE SHOP AND I HAD BROUGHT IT IN AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. THE MECHANIC STATED IT STEEMED FROM THE ELECTRICAL HARNESS. THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL FOR NISSAN ROGUE INVOLVING A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL HARNESS FROM 3/7/07-11/26/13. I WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INVOLVED BY THE DEALER AND CALLED NISSAN TO FIND OUT IF MY VIN COULD BE ADDED. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULDN'T BE AND THAT NISSAN HAD "NO LIABILITY". I AM JUST THANKFUL THAT I WAS NOT IN THE VEHICLE AS I HAD READ THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAD THEIR CAR, AS WELL AS OTHERS, CATCH FIRE AND THE BACK OF THEIR HOUSE AND OR GARAGE! THIS WAS EXTREMELY SCARY! I AM CONCERNED THAT IT MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN WHEN I DRIVE IT. I AM VERY DISMAYED THAT NISSAN DIDN'T LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM. THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHAT PART WAS INVOLVED IN THE RECALL OF THE OTHER VEHICLES, DESPITE ME ASKING AND THEY STATED SINCE IT WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER THEY WOULD ALSO NOT ADD IT TO THE RECALL. THEY ALSO STATED SINCE I HAD NOT TAKEN THE ROGUE TO A NISSAN DEALER, THEY COULD NOT ADD IT TO THE RECALL! I HAVE DRIVEN NISSANS FOR OVER 20 YEARS. MY 1990 NISSAN STANZA WAS PART OF A RECALL. AT THE TIME THE VEHICLE COST ME $1500 (I WAS A STRUGGLING GRAD STUDENT) AND HAD NEVER SEEN A DEALER UNTIL I LEARNED OF THE RECALL. HOW CAN WE HOLD THEM RESPONSIBLE FOR A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THEY DID NOT EVEN INVESTIGATE OR CALL THE SHOP? THEY SIMPLY REFUSED TO TAKE ACTION OR CONSIDER THE FACT THAT VIN NUMBERS THAT WERE NOT LISTED IN THE RECALL COULD HAVE BEEN AFFECTED. I AM VERY DISHEARTENED IN THE MANNER IN WHICH THEY PROVIDED THE RESPONSE (AN "OH WELL" TYPE OF ATTITUDE) TO AN ISSUE THAT WAS THIS SERIOUS! IT IS NOT THE MONEY, BUT THE FACT THAT IF I WAS IN IT, I COULD HAVE LOST MY LIFE!

I HAVE HAD SOME BATTERY ISSUES SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. I PURCHASED IT USED FROM A DEALERSHIP. I HAVE HAD TO JUMP IT OFF SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE THE BATTERY REPLACED AT LEAST TWICE. LAST TIME I HAD WARRANTY SO I DIDN'T HAVE TO BUY A NEW ONE. HOWEVER I DID STILL HAVE TO PAY TO GET IT INSTALLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE ABOVE 55 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO NISSAN OF ELK GROVE (8599 LAGUNA GROVE DR, ELK GROVE, CA 95757) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,200.

I WAS DRIVING FROM FORT WORTH TO ARLINGTON TX ABOUT 35 MILES. WHEN I WOULD TRY TO GIVE IT GAS, THE MOTOR WOULD REV UP AND THE RPM'S WOULD GO UP BUT MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO. I EXITED AT THE NEAREST EXIT WHICH WAS A LOOP AND THEN MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO AT ALL. THIS IS DURING RUSH HOUR (5:45PM) AND AN BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO AT ALL, AN 18 WHEELER THAT WAS BEHIND ME WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP AND IF HE HADN'T SWIRVED AND GONE OFF THE ROAD AND INTO THE GRASS, HE WOULD HAVE HIT THE BACK OF MY VEHICLE WHERE MY 2 KIDS WERE. THIS CAUSED SEVERAL OTHER CARS BEHIND HIM TO ALMOST WRECK . THIS WAS THE 1ST TIME THIS HAPPENED. THEN AGAIN THIS MORNING ON JAN 28TH, 2019 MONDAY MORNING, I DROVE FROM FORT WORTH TO GRAPEVINE TX ABOUT 40 MILES. THE CAR DID THE EXACT SAME THING. HOWEVER THERE WAS NO EXIT AND NO SHOULDER TO PULL OVER AT DUE TO CONSTRUCTION. I WAS ONCE AGAIN ALMOST REAR ENDED BY THE CAR BEHIND ME. ONCE AGAIN, I AM GIVING IT GAS AND THE CAR WILL NOT GO AT ALL. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE THE TRANSMISSION FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ON LINE WITH MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN ROGUE.... THIS IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE AND UNACCEPTABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING OVER 30 MPH, THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER (VALDOSTA NISSAN CADILLAC, 3685 INNER PERIMETER RD, VALDOSTA, GA 31602, (229) 242-7325) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE MORE THAN TWICE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER LATER INDICATED THAT THE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE. THE SENSOR WAS STATED TO HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY THE DEALER'S MECHANIC, BUT THE TPMS INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED AFTER THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD FOLLOW-UP WITHIN 48 HOURS. THE CONTACT HAD NOT HEARD BACK FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE. *TT*JB

I HAVE A CVT TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. MY CAR SHOULD NOT NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. AAMCO IS TELLING ME I WILL NEED ONE SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT, THEY RAN CODES AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG BUT I NEEDED A OVER 1200.00 EXTERNAL COOING SYSTEM AND IT IS UNDER WARRANTY AND THEN I GET A CALL AND ITS NOT. I TOOK IT TO THERE OTHER DEALERSHIP AND THE SALESPERSON AND MECHANIC SAID THERE WAS A PROBLEM...IT STARTED OUT LOOSING POWER AND DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THATS KINDA SCARY. I KNOW THERE ARE OTHER COMPLAINTS OUT THERE ABOUT THIS AND I NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO....

12/22/2018 MY NISSAN ROGUE CAUGHT FIRE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. WE WERE ONLY ALERTED BECAUSE THE HORN DEFAULTED BECAUSE OF THE FIRE. FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE WITH SOME DIFFICULTY. THEY ASSURED US IT WAS ELECTRICAL. INSURANCE CO. TOTALED THE CAR. UPON MY OWN RESEARCH THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. NISSAN HAS NOT ACCEPTED RESPONSIBILITY IN ANY OF THEM. THANK GOD NO ONE WAS INJURED. THE STRESS AND FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY LAYS WITH THE CUSTOMERS.

12/16/18 FILLED FULL TANK OF GAS. RANGE SHOWED 297 WHEN NORMALLY IT SHOWS 320-330 MILES ON A FULL TANK. 12/18/18 AM, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON WHILE DRIVING TO WORK. 12/18/18, PM 225 MILE RANGE, FUEL GAUGE AT 3/4. 12/19/18 AM, 212 MILES 3/4 FUEL. 12/19/18 AM 194 MILES, 3/4 GAUGE. 12/19/18 CALLED LOCAL NISSAN DEALER. 12/19/18 FILED REPORT TO NHTSA. FUEL GAUGE IS REPORTING 3/4 TANK (STOPPED MOVING). THE RANGE OF MILES ON A FULL TANK IS INCORRECT AND INACCURATE. SINCE THE FUEL GAUGE IS STUCK AT 3/4 FULL AND MY MILE READING IS INCORRECT, I DO NO KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN MY VEHICLE UNLESS I TRACK THE ODOMETER START AND SUBTRACT 300 (TO BE SAFE).

WHENEVER MY CAR IS IN MOTION, WHEN TRYING TO CLIMB A HILL, IT WOULD STOP AUTOMATICALLY. AND OFTEN TIMES, I WOULD HAVE TO REVERSE MY CAR, TURN IT OFF AND GENTLY DRIVE IT UP THE HILL FOR FEAR THAT IT MAY SHUT ITSELF OFF. I HAVE HAD TO CHANGE THE AIR MASS FLOW 3 TIMES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE SEPTEMBER, AND WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP, THE DIAGNOSES CAME BACK AS THE AIR MASS FLOW, AFTER I HAVE JUST REPLACED IT. THE CAR WOULD AUTOMATICALLY NOT GET GAS FOR NO APPARENT REASONS. I AM NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY ANY LONGER.

VEHICLE HAD CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 90,000 MILES. CAR SPEED UNCONTROLLABLE BETWEEN SLOW OR TOO FAST ON THE HIGHWAY. NISSAN DEALER INDICATED TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING, BUT WOULD NOT REPLACE IT. I FILED WITH NISSAN CONSUMER SERVICES TO CHECK VEHICLE SINCE CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURES ARE BEING REPAIRED BY OTHER CAR MANUFACTURERS. NISSAN HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE AND MECHANIC AGREED THIS IS A FAILURE ON THE COMPANY'S SIDE. I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT A COST OF $6,000 AND THERE ARE STILL ISSUES WITH THE BOOT AND FRONT CASE TRANSFERS THAT ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I'M REQUESTING FOR NISSAN TO ISSUE A RECALL AGAINST FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSIONS AND REPLACE THESE SINCE THESE ARE DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY.

WHEN I GO LONG DISTANCE IN MY ROUGE THE TRANSMISSION SLOWS ME DO TO AROUND 35 TO 40 MILES AN HOUR GOING UP HILLS AND WHEN YOU STOP AND GO WHEN YOU HIT THE GAS IS DOESN'T SEEM TO WANT TO GO. UNSAFE ON THE FREEWAY IT'S GOING TO KILL SOMEBODY AND I HOPE ITS LOOKED INTO BEFORE THIS HAPPENS. I BOUGHT THIS SO I HAD A FAMILY TRUSTED VEHICLE FOR TRIPS AND I WOULD NEVER DRIVE IT FOR THE REASONS MENTIONED SOMETIMES IN TOWN BUT MOSTLY ON THE HIGHWAY

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY THE ACCELERATION DROPPED DOWN TO 10-20 MPH IN TRAFFIC WITH OTHER CARS SPEEDING TOWARD ME. I TRIED TO ACCELERATE BUT COULD NOT -- PUTTING MYSELF AND FELLOW MOTORISTS IN GRAVE DANGER. I COULD BARELY MAKE THE CAR GO 10 TO 20 MPH TO MAKE IT TO AN OFF RAMP TO TRY TO GET TO SAFETY. MY 2012 NISSAN ROGUE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THERE IS A REPEATED HISTORY OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE BY NISSANS INCLUDING THE ROGUE. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND EXTENDED WARRANTY TO COVER SOME YEARS AND MODELS FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEY HAVE NOT COVERED OTHERS YET THERE ARE REPEATED COMPLAINTS. NISSAN IS FULLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM YET HAS PUT MYSELF AND OTHER MOTORISTS AT RISK. I CALLED THE NEAREST NISSAN REPAIR SERVICE CENTER TO TELL THEM A TOW TRUCK WOULD BE BRINING MY NISSAN THERE. I BARELY STARTED TO EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED AND IMMEDIATELY THE SERVICE CENTER PERSON SAID HE KNEW WHAT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND ASKED FOR MY VIN SO HE COULD SEE IF IT WAS COVERED BY THE EXTRA WARRANTY NISSAN GRANTED SOME MODELS. IT DID NOT. IT WILL COST $5,400 TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION AND COMPLETE REPAIRS WHICH I WILL ASK THE SERVICE CENTER TO COMPLETE. HOWEVER, A RECALL SHOULD BE PLACED ON 2012 NISSAN ROGUES FOR THIS ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM IS PUTTING PEOPLE'S LIVES AT RISK.

IN 2016 I PURCHASED A 2012 NISSAN ROGUE FROM A DEALERSHIP WITH 80,000 MILES. AFTER THREE YEARS (107,000 MILES)THE TRANSMISSION BLEW OUT. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON TO THE RAMP OF I85 IN GA, VEHICLE IN MOTION, WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. I CONTACTED NISSAN TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AS THEY TOLD ME THAT UNLESS IT SHOWED NEGLECT ON MY BEHALF, THEY WOULD THEY BE WILLING TO HELP. THEY EXPLAINED TO ME TO BRING THE ROGUE TO HE NEAREST DEALERSHIP TO DO A DIAGNOSTICS TEST. WHEN I WENT TO TURN ON THE CAR TO TAKE TO DEALERSHIP, THE CAR WOULD NOT DRIVE. THE CAR WAS ONLY ABLE TO DRIVE IN REVERSE. I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO TOW IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK OF THE VEHICLE SITTING IN THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP, NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS CONTACTED ME BACK AS THEY MADE A DECISION TO DENY HELPING ME. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AS THE CAR IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE HISTORY OF NISSAN ROGUE AND IT SEEMS THAT THEY HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THIS IN THE PAST. THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY CAR WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND THE TOTAL EXPENSE WOULD BE MY DUTY. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. I WAS INFORMED BY NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO FILE A COMPLAINT AS TO EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED. I KNOW THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH NISSAN IN THE PAST YEARS. NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING THIS CAR IS TO DRIVE AND BUILT TO LAST. NISSAN SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT.

THE VEHICLE AT 76K MILES STARTED TO EXPERIENCE SLIPPING WHILE DRIVING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR ADDITIONALLY STRUGGLED TO OBTAIN SPEED WHEN STARTING FROM IDLE, STOPPED AT RED LIGHTS, STOP SIGNS, ETC. AND WOULD JOLT FORWARDED. THE CAR SENT BACK A P0700 CODE FOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES WITH ADDITIONAL CODES FOR SHIFTING ERRORS. AFTER TAKING IT TO TWO MECHANICS AND BEING 2 YEARS OUTSIDE OF THE MODELS WITH EXTENDED 10 YEAR WARRANTIES AND 1 YEAR OUTSIDE OF THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY I HAVE TO PAY 4500.00 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION OUT OF POCKET. THE CVT PROBLEMS AFTER 2010 MODELS ARE CLEARLY NOT FIX AND THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH MYSELF OR MY FAMILY. THE FACT THERE IS NOT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON NEWER MODELS OR A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSIONS IN UNACCEPTABLE. THIS VERY EASILY COULD HAVE ENDED IN AN ACCIDENT OR INJURY.

I OWN A 2012 NISSAN ROGUE. I PURCHASED IT USED IN 2015 WITH APPROXIMATELY 60,000 MILES ON IT. IN ABOUT APRIL OF 2018 I STARTED EXPERIENCING THE CAR NOT ACCELERATING AFTER DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY. I WOULD BE DRIVING 65-75 MPH AND SUDDENLY THE CAR WOULD SLOW DOWN AND NOT ACCELERATE. THIS IS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC MIND YOU. I WOULD PULL OVER AND SIT FOR ABOUT 15-20 MINUTES. AFTER THAT TIME I WOULD RESTART THE CAR AND THE CAR WOULD DRIVE AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. I WOULD EXPERIENCE THIS EACH TIME I WOULD GET ON THE EXPRESSWAY AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 50-60 MINUTES. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING. I COULD NOT GET ANOTHER CAR DUE TO THE FACT THAT I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF PAYING FOR THIS CAR AND OWE TOO MUCH TO TRADE IT. IN JULY 2018 I DID NOT HAVE TO TRAVEL THE EXPRESSWAY AS MUCH. I THOUGHT THAT I COULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR THINKING IF I DIDN'T TRAVEL THAT FAR I MAY BE OK UNTIL I GET THE CAR PAID DOWN SOME MORE. TO MY SURPRISE THAT JUST DID NOT HAPPEN. IN AUGUST 2018 I STARTED HEARING A KNOCKING SOUND AND TOOK IT BACK TO THE MECHANIC TO FIND OUT THAT THE DRIVE SHAFT WAS BAD. SOME OF HIS CUSTOMERS BROUGHT THEIR NISSAN ROGUE'S TO HIM WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX AND A USED PART MAY NOT BE THE ANSWER DUE TO THE FACT THAT ALL OF THE ROGUE'S ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WELL, AT THIS POINT I AM WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION. THE KNOCKING TURNED INTO A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR, AS IF EVERYTHING UNDERNEATH WAS ON THE VERGE OF FALLING OFF. I CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO MY HOME BECAUSE THE MECHANIC CANNOT FIND A SUITABLE USED PART TO REPLACE THE PROBLEM AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED WITH A NEW PART. SO I ALSO AM PAYING FOR A CAR THAT I CANNOT DRIVE. NISSAN REALLY NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, AS IT IS A DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER.

THIS CAR IS NOTORIOUS FOR CVT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. NISSAN HAS ALREADY EXTENDED WARRANTIES FOR ROGUES PRIOR TO 2010, BUT OF COURSE MINE IS A NEWER 2012 MODEL. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR HAS BASICALLY SHUT OFF. ONCE, AFTER GETTING OFF THE RAMP FROM 288 TO HULL STREET, I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE UP A SLIGHT HILL AND THE CAR JUST WOULD NOT GO TO THE POINT WHERE I HAD MY FOOT FLOORED AND NOTHING. I LET OFF, WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE IT SHOOK THEN SHUT OFF. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHERE THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG. JUST TODAY, I WAS DRIVING 65 DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE JUST TO GET INFRONT OF ANOTHER CAR TO PREPARE FOR THE UPCOMING EXIT AND MID PUSHING DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL... IT JUST STOPS GOING. I WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO GET INTO THE RIGHT LANE AGAIN AND PULL OVER TO THE CAR SHAKES THEN SHUTS OFF. I LET IT SIT FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES, AND WAS ABLE TO START IT BACK UP AND GO WITHOUT SEEMINGLY WITHOUT A PROBLEM AGAIN. THIS IS MY FAMILY VEHICLE. I AM AFRAID THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO ME ONE DAY IN MAJOR TRAFFIC AND CAUSE AN INCIDENT POSSIBLY HURTING ME, MY FAMILY OR OTHERS. I HAVE READ MANY FORUMS WITH HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. SOMETHING REALLY NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT FROM NISSAN. THESE CARS ARE NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, BUT I AM BASICALLY STUCK IN A CAR LOAN I CAN'T GET OUT OF. I HAVE NO CHOICE.

I PURCHASED A USED 2012 NISSAN ROGUE IN GOOD FAITH FROM ANDERSON CHEVROLET. IT WAS AS IS, SO THERE WAS NO WARRANTY. HOWEVER, THE CAR APPEARED TO BE IN GOOD SHAPE. HOWEVER, THERE IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS INVOLVING THE CVT TRANSMISSION WHERE THEY FAIL. IN SPITE OF THIS BEING A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL, NO REPROGRAMMING, NO NOTHING AND THE VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR FALLS TO THE UNKNOWING OWNER. I DO NOT HAVE AN ADDITIONAL $4-5K TO PAY FOR THIS FIX. AND I AM CURRENTLY STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LOAN FOR THIS CAR, SO I CANNOT SELL IT. SO I AM LEFT PAYING FOR A CAR THAT DOES NOT WORK, WITHOUT MEANS TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. NISSAN DISOWNS THE PROBLEM, BUT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. HOW DOES THAT WORK?
