• 12/21/2011· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  THE ELECTRONIC FUEL GAUGE READING IS INCORRECT AS TO THE ACTUAL FUEL LEVEL THAT EXISTS IN MY 2010 NISSAN ROGUE 360 AWD SUV. BECAUSE EVEN AFTER MORE THAN 250 MILES LOGGED ON AFTER THE LAST FUEL-UP OF MY VEHICLE, THIS DEFECTIVE FUEL GAUGE STILL SHOWS A FULL TANK OF GAS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE PEOPLE MAY WELL RUN OUT OF GAS ON THE ROAD, IMAGINE BEING OUT OF FUEL AND STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. THE FUEL GAUGE USED TO WORK BEFORE, ALTHOUGH IT HAS NEVER BEEN VERY ACCURATE BUT NOW IT HAS STOPPED WORKING ALTOGETHER. PLEASE HELP, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. *TR

  I was driving the vehicle and stopped at a Sonic drive thru. I shifted the car into park and I began to hear a very loud creaking noise. When I shifted the car into drive, the car wouldn’t move. I called a Firestone mechanic and he concluded that it was the CV belt that is connected to the transmission. Regardless, only a transmission shop could handle this issue. I called CARMAX AUTO, and spoke with a JASON HEWITT. Mr Hewitt informed me that CarMax will have a tow truck come get the car. The following day, the car was towed by CarMax to Amaco for an official diagnostic. I was notified the following day that my vehicle had a damaged axle and appears to have been cause by a “car accident.” Mr Hewitt told me to file a claim in my insurance. I told Mr Hewitt that most likely the tow company damaged my axle. He stated he didnt know what exactly caused it but they will not be able to address the transmission issue until this axle and converter is paid for. Additionally, I’ve had the car for 14 months and 6 months into my lease agreement, the check engine light came and stayed on due the catalytic converter. The air and heat stopped working in September of 2023.

  AT 74,000 MILES, MY 2010 NISSAN ROGUE PASSENGER AIRBAG AUTOMATICALLY DISABLED AND THE AIRBAG SYMBOL CONTINUOUSLY BLINKS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE, REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SEAT. THE DEFECT APPEARED AFTER CRANKING THE VEHICLE AND RUNNING AT IDLE, WHILE IN PARK.

• 12/13/2016· POWER TRAIN

  WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY 2010 NISSAN ROUGE SUDDENLY WOULD DROP THE SPEED TO UNDER 55MPH. I WOULD PUSH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR BUT IT STILL WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. NO WARNINGS OR ENGINE LIGHT DISPLAYED ON THE PANEL. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE. WHAT IS SOMEONE DIDN'T PAY ATTENTION AND REAR-ENDED ME BECAUSE OF MY SUDDEN SPEED REDUCTION WITHOUT A WARNING. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR ON A INTERSTATE. I PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR IT AND NOW IT HAS A VERY LIMITED USE. I ONLY HOPE THAT NISSAN WILL CAREFULLY LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. SOMEONE'S LIFE COULD BE LOST BECAUSE OF IT. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I KNOW THAT I'M NOT THE FIRST PERSON TO MAKE THIS COMPLAINT. *TR

  AFTER DRIVING VEHICLE FOR ABOUT AN HOUR, CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. GAS PEDAL WOULD BE PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND RPM'S WOULD NOT EXCEED 3000RPM. WHEN FOOT WAS TAKEN OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR AND PUSHED BACK TO FLOOR BOARD, RPM'S WOULD INCREASE TO 3000 AND THEN DECREASE BACK DOWN TO 2500 RPM. VEHICLE WOULD START TO DECREASE IN SPEED EVEN THOUGH GAS PEDAL WAS PRESSED ALL THE WAY DOWN. *TR

  WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES, THE CAR SOMETIMES JUST SHUTS DOWN COMPLETELY AND TURNS OFF. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO THEN PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND RESTART IT. IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN I HAVE SLOWED THE CAR DOWN TO GO OVER SPEED BUMPS, WHEN I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT. IT ALSO HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY ON-RAMP. NISSAN HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX IT.

JUST RECENTLY I WATCHED A NEWS PROGRAM THAT SHOWED THAT MANY SUNROOFS ARE EXPLODING DUE TO FLAWS IN THE GLASS. THE COST OF THE REPAIR WAS UNDER MY DEDUCTIBLE, COSTING ME $303.35 TO REPLACE. I WAS DRIVING ON RT. 7 "BELLEVILLE TURNPIKE" KEARNY, NEW JERSEY. NOTHING WAS NEAR ME AT THE TIME - IT SOUNDED LIKE I HAD BEEN SHOT AT! I HAD THE REPAIR DONE AT LIDO AUTO BODY IN BELLEVILLE, N.J. IT TOOK THREE DAYS TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR, I HAD TO RENT A CAR (ENTERPRISE) TO GO TO WORK COSTING ME $124.74.

  TWO MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THIS CAR AT CORAL SPRINGS NISSAN, FL. I WAS DRIVING TO MIAMI WHEN THE CAR LOOSE POWER FROM 70 MPH WENT TO 40 MPH THE CAR COULD NOT ACCELERATE ANYMORE IT WAS VERY SCARY. THIS PROBLEM ONLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU DRIVE FOR MORE THAN 1 HOUR. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY ONLY DID A TEST DRIVE FOR MAYBE 30 MINUTES. ONE YEAR AFTER THE INITIAL PROBLEM THE CAR LOOSE POWER QUITE OFTEN I ONLY NEED TO DRIVE LESS THAN 30 MINUTES, AND THE CAR CANNOT ACCELERATE IS LIKE IT GOES TO NEUTRAL WHEN I AM AT THE STOP SIGN, MAKING AN U-TURN, A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN. I AM AFRAID TO HAVE A CAR ACCIDENT. I AM VERY SURPRISE AFTER READING OTHERS COMPLAINTS THAT NISSAN HAS NOT TAKE ANY ACTION TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. *TR

  FUEL LEVEL SENSOR ERROR WHICH CAUSES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. AFTER CAREFUL RESEARCH THIS IS KNOWN ISSUE EFFECTING THOUSANDS OF NISSANS. THE PART BECOMES FAULTY AFTER 40K MILES AND NISSAN IS AWARE. THE ISSUE IS SO BAD THAT THE CAR CAN STOP IN THE MIDLE OF THE ROAD BECAUSE IT THINKS IT RAN OUT OF GAS.

• 11/13/2014· VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

  THERE IS CLEARLY AN ACCELERATION PROBLEM WITH THE 2010 NISSAN ROGUE; OVER 900,000 PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED AND A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED. IT SEEMS THAT THE CAR HAS PROBLEMS ACCELERATING AFTER IT WAS STOPPED. IT TYPICALLY DID THIS IF YOU WERE EITHER STOPPED ON A HILL OR IF YOU STOPPED AFTER DRIVING HIGH SPEEDS ON THE INTERSTATE. AFTER SEVERAL INCIDENTS OVER THE COURSE OF 3 MONTHS (I PURCHASED VEHICLE AUGUST 2014), THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT IS NOW ON. I HAVE JUST A LITTLE OVER 38,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE LOSS OF ACCELERATION IS DANGEROUS FOR BOTH EXITING THE INTERSTATE AND TURNING RIGHT ON RED. *TR

• 11/10/2015· POWER TRAIN

  IN HIGHWAY DRIVING CONDITIONS THE TRANSMISSION WILL OVER HEAT. THE TRANSMISSION THEN GOES INTO SAFE MODE AND DISENGAGES FROM THE ENGINE. THE CAR THEN LOSES POWER. YOU ARE THEN STUCK ON A HIGHWAY WITH TRAFFIC AROUND YOU DOING 70 MPH AND YOUR CAR HAS NO ACCELERATION, NO POWER AND YOU ARE JUST STUCK. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION.

  I ACQUIRED A 2010 NISSAN ROGUE SL AWD, WITH LOW MILEAGE, IN OCTOBER 2019. IN EARLY OCTOBER 2020 ABOUT 20 MILES OUTSIDE OF WASHINGTON, DC TRAVELING FROM NC THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. OF COURSE THIS UNNERVED ME. I STOPPED TWICE TO VISUALLY AND MANUALLY CHECK THE TIRE AIR PRESSURE USING A PRESSURE GAUGE. NO PROBLEM WITH THE PRESSURE. ONCE IN DC I WENT TO A SERVICE STATION/MECHANIC SHOP IN MARYLAND AND HAD THE MECHANIC CHECK THE PROBLEM. HE CHECKED THE TIRE PRESSURE AND FILLED ALL TIRES WITH AN ADDITIONAL 5 POUNDS OF AIR (FROM 35 TO 40) AND STATED THAT THE WOBBLING WOULD LIKELY NOT CAUSE ANY SERIOUS PROBLEM BUT THE ADDITIONAL AIR SHOULD CURED. THE ADDED AIR SEEMED TO HAVE WORKED. WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS I WAS BACK ON THE HIGHWAY HEADED SOUTH. I REALIZED THE PROBLEM HAD NOT GONE AWAY. I DETERMINED THAT AT LOW CITY SPEEDS THE PROBLEM DID NOT PRESENT ITSELF. THE PROBLEM SURFACES WHEN AT HIGHER HIGHWAY SPEEDS, MOSTLY WHEN THE BRAKE IS ENGAGED. SINCE BEING BACK IN CONCORD, NC I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE PLACE ON A LIFT, AT A NON-DEALER SHOP, AND CHECKED. THE MECHANIC DROVE MY VEHICLE AND COULD NOT FIND ANY OTHER ISSUES. HE SUGGESTED THAT I PURCHASE FOUR NEW TIRES, CITING THAT ALTHOUGH THERE IS STILL SUFFICIENT TREAD THE TIRES MAY HAVE AN INTERNAL ISSUE. I SPOKE TO ANOTHER MECHANIC WHO SUGGESTED THAT A 'TIE ROD' MAY BE THE PROBLEM. ON THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2020 I HAD PLANS TO PURCHASE NEW TIRES. AFTER SEEING THE WSOC NEWS OF SIMILAR EXPERIENCES OF OTHERS, I WILL FIRST TAKE MY VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALER FOR EVALUATION AND DOCUMENTATION. AT THIS TIME I DON'T HAVE ANY DOCUMENTATION TO SUBMIT.

  WHILE DRIVING MY WIFES 2010 NISSAN ROGUE SL FWD IS SHOWED 62 MILES LEFT BEFORE EMPTY ON THE FUEL GAUGE. THE CAR DIED ON A WINDING BACK COUNTRY ROAD WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF SOMEONE WERE TO COME OVER A BLIND HILL AND HIT US. THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED RUNNING, I LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. GOT THE CAR STOPPED AND HAD TO CALL THE POLICE TO COME OUT AND FLAG DOWN ON-COMING TRAFFIC THAT WE WERE STOPPED AHEAD. THE CAR WOULD TURN OVER BUT NOT START, ACTING AS IF IT WERE OUT OF GAS EVEN THOUGHT THE FUEL GAUGE SAID 60 MILES TO EMPTY. HAD TO GET A RIDE TO GET FUEL AND CAR STARTED RIGHT UP. THIS OBVIOUSLY SHOWS THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT OR GAUGE IS NOT CALIBRATED PROPERLY AND CAUSED A WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS OR DEADLY SITUATION. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NISSAN ROGUES AS WELL AS OTHER MODELS BUT NO RECALL OR TSB HAS BEEN ISSUED.

  WHEN THE CVT TRANSMISSION GETS HOT THE POWER FROM ENGINE TO TRANSMISSION BEGINS TO REDUCE. THIS SAFETY FEATURE LEADS TO MASSIVE FUEL CONSUMPTION AS WELL AS COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS CAUSED MYSELF TO BE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THIS "SAFETY FEATURE" DIDN'T START DOING THIS UNTIL 50 MILES PAST THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. AT FIRST IT WOULD TAKE HOURS OF DRIVING BEFORE THIS WOULD HAPPEN AND IT SEEMS LIKE EACH TIME IT HAPPENED IT TOOK LESS AND LESS DRIVING TIME BEFORE IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. CURRENTLY MY ROGUE IS AROUND 150K MILES AND I CAN'T GO MORE THAN 20 MILES BEFORE IT HAPPENS. I TOOK THE ROGUE INTO SHOPS FOR A FULL TUNE-UP EVERY30K MILES TRYING TO BE SURE IT LAST FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE, SO I KNOW IT ISN'T AN ISSUE OF NEGLECT. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE TRYING TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM AND ALL I HAVE FOUND ARE THOUSANDS OF OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. SOME OWNERS HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM BEGIN AS EARLY AS THE 10K MARK. SINCE THE INTRODUCTION OF THE CVT TRANSMISSION EVERY VEHICLE IT IS USED IN HAS THIS PROBLEM. NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IT CAUSES A DEATH FROM PURE NEGLECT ON THEIR PART. I'VE OWNED 4 NISSAN VEHICLES AND LOVED THEM ALL BUT HIS IS THE FIRST ONE I HAD THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT PAST 100K MILES BEFORE HAVING A MAJOR ISSUE.

  OVER THE WEEKEND OF OCTOBER 16TH, I DROVE MY 2010 NISSAN ROGUE FROM MD TO WILLIAMSBURG, VA AND BACK. MY FAMILY WAS ALMOST KILLED IN A CAR CRASH BECAUSE THE NISSAN ROGUE FAILED TO PROPERLY ACCELERATE ON A BUSY INTERSECTION. FOR THE REST OF THE WEEKEND IT FAILED TO ACCELERATE A TOTAL OF 4 MORE TIMES COMING FROM A COMPLETE STOP. IF I DRIVE THE CAR FOR MORE THAN 2 HOURS ON HIGHWAY AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY, IT TAKES ABOUT 5-6 SECONDS TO REACH A SPEED OF ABOUT 10MPH. THE NEXT DAY, THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING FINE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY WERE NOT GETTING ANY CODES FROM THE COMPUTER. THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE OVERNIGHT AND HAD A TECHNICIAN DRIVE IT BACK AND FORTH FROM WORK TO HOME AND BACK TO WORK BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. AFTER CHECKING THE ODOMETER, THE COMPUTERS MPH AVERAGE SPEED AND THE AREA WHERE THE CAR WAS DRIVEN, TURNS OUT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVEN ON HIGHWAY FOR MORE THAN 2 HOURS, IT WAS STOP AND GO DRIVING. THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE DRIVEN ON HIGHWAY CONTINUOUSLY FOR MORE THAN 2 HOURS FOR THIS PROBLEM TO OCCUR. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. I NEVER KNOW IF MY FAMILY WILL LOOSE THEIR LIVES ON THE NEXT BUSY INTERSECTION. THERE ARE MANY REPORTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS PROBLEM TAKING PLACE AL OVER THE NATION. NISSAN HAS NOT POSTED ANY BULLETINS OR RECALLS IN THIS MATTER BUT SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE NOW BEFORE THERE IS A CASUALTY ON THE ROAD. DO WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE NISSAN ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM?

  HI, I AM EXPERIENCING A KNOWN "CVT OVERHEATING" PROBLEM WITH MY ROGUE. WHAT'S HAPPENING IS THAT WHEN THE CVT GETS MORE THEN SOME THRESHOLD TEMPERATURE IT GOES TO SO CALLED "SAFE" MODE AND THE CAR LOOSES SPEED DRAMATICALLY, INCLUDING SITUATIONS ON A HIGH WAY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! I BROUGHT ME VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP 2 TIMES AND AS A RESULT THEY SUGGESTED TO INSTALL A "COOLER KIT" BY NISSAN WHICH POTENTIALLY CAN SOLVE THE PROBLEM JUST BY COOLING THE CVT IS A "BETTER" WAY. THEY ARE ASKING FOR ABOUT $1200 FOR THE INSTALLATION. I SEE THAT AS A NISSAN'S DESIGN FLOW. I DON'T THINK PAYING FOR THIS OUT OF MY POCKET IS THE RIGHT SOLUTION. I THINK NISSAN SHOULD START A RE-CALL ON THAT PROBLEM. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE SITUATION ON HOW NISSAN HANDLES IT RIGHT NOW (IN FACT IT DOESN'T HANDLE IT ALL). THANK YOU.

  WE PURCHASED THE CAR AS A NEW CAR DEMO. IT HAD ABOUT 5000 MILES ON IT. THE CAR RAN PRETTY GOOD FOR 60/70 THOUSAND MILES AND THEN WE STARTED NOTICING THAT WHEN WE WENT ON LONGER DRIVES(HIGHWAY), THE CAR WOULD GO INTO A "POWERLESS" STATE WHEN YOU STOPPED OR SLOWED DOWN. WE LATER BECAME FAMILIAR WITH THE TERM "LIMP" MODE OR "SAFE" MODE. THE TRANSMISSION GOES INTO THESE MODES WHEN IT IS OVERHEATING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE NO COMPUTER CODES HAD SURFACED FOR THE TROUBLE. THIS VISIT WAS AROUND 80K, WELL UNDER OUR 125000 MILE WARRANTY. THE MOST RECENT TIME WAS 2014 WE WENT OUT OF TOWN AGAIN AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. BEING ABOUT 400 MILES FROM HOME, WE STOPPED AT A LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE AND HAD THEM CHECK THE CODE. THEY TOLD ME THE CLUTCH/TORQUE CONVERTER WAS MAKING A CODE POP UP. WE PRECEDED TO DRIVE HOME AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY. AT THIS POINT WE HAD 119000 MILES ON IT STILL UNDER THE WARRANTY. THECHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF BEFORE WE COULD GET THERE. THE DEALERSHIP ONCE AGAIN SAID NOTHING WAS SHOWING ON THE COMPUTER EVEN THOUGH I TOLD THEM EXACTLY WHAT CODE I HAD LEARNED OF BEFORE RETURNING TO THE SHOP. THEY AGAIN CLAIMED TO NOT BE ABLE TO WORK ON THE CAR WITHOUT THE CODE. I GUESS THEY AREN'T REAL MECHANICS! ANYWAYS, WE NOW HAVE 140000 MILES ON THE CAR AND THE CODE IS PRESENT AGAIN AND ALL NISSAN CAN SAY IS IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY OFFERED TO GIVE US "EMPLOYEE" PRICING ON A NEW CAR BUT COMPLETELY REFUSE TO HELP WITH THE REPAIR. DOESN'T MAKE US FEEL GOOD ABOUT OWNING ANOTHER NISSAN.
