WHEN PUTTING ON MY DRIVER SEAT BELT, I ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE LATCH INTO THE BUCKLE AND THE ENTIRE BUCKLE ARM BECAME DETACHED FROM THE CAR, THE SCREW CAME COMPLETELY OFF OR SOMETHING. I CALLED THE NISSAN DEALER 8/26/15 AND GOT AN APPOINTMENT 8/27/15 TO GET THIS PART FIXED. THE DEALER SENT ME HOME WITHOUT A WORKING SEAT BELT AND SAID THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PART AND A WEEK HAS GONE BY AND STILL NO PART.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG SPIRAL CABLE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,700.

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 25MPH THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD STATED BLINKING AND THE LIGHT SHOWING THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS OFF STAYED ON. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO KINGSTON NISSAN FOR INSPECTION AND TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM THEY SAID THE OCS UNIT FAILED. AND IT NEED A OCS SEAT UNIT. I GOOGLE THIS ISSUE AND SAW THAT IT WAS A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE. I CONTACTED NISSAN CO SUMER AFFAIRS FILED A CLAIM AND THEY SAID THEY SAID THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THE PART. NISSAN DEALER IS CHARGING ME $1691 TO REPLACE THE SEAT.

WHILE DRIVING 2008 NISSAN ROGUE ON HIGHWAY 70 IN NEW MEXICO AT POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED RAPID LOSS OF SPEED AND POWER IN WHICH PRESSING DOWN ON ACCELERATOR HAD NO EFFECT ON VEHICLE. PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT VEHICLE OFF. INSPECTED VEHICLE FOR ANY OBVIOUS SIGNS OF SOURCE OF MALFUNCTION. RESTARTED VEHICLE AFTER 20 MINUTES AND RESUMED TRAVEL WITH NO ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS ON THIS TRIP. THIS MALFUNCTION HAS REPEATED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS SINCE, WITH MORE REGULARITY TO DATE. SEEMS TO OCCUR MOST OFTEN WHEN DRIVING TO A HIGHER ELEVATION AFTER AN HOUR OR MORE OF CONTINUOUS OPERATION. WHEN MALFUNCTION OCCURS, ENGINE WILL NOT EXCEED 2500-3000 RPMS EVEN WITH GAS PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED. THIS HAPPENED FIRST IN JANUARY 2014 AND I TOOK IT TO NISSAN DEALER IN ALBUQUERQUE WHO SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE WORKED FINE FOR OVER A YEAR AND TWO MONTHS AGO AGAIN STARTED WITH THIS PROBLEM. MALFUNCTION IS INTERMITTENT, BUT RECENTLY MORE FREQUENT. I BROUGHT IT TO A NISSAN DEALER IN LAS CRUCES NM BUT THEY DIDNT HAVE A TRANSMISSION TECH IN THAT DAY. I WAS CHARGED A $120 DIAGNOSTIC FEE AND TOLD THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG BUT TO BRING IT BACK ON A DAY WHEN TRANSMISSION TECH WILL BE IN. ITS AN HOUR AND HALF DRIVE FOR ME EACH WAY. HAVE SINCE READ MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET FROM OTHER OWNERS OF SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THIS PROBLEM.

THE CVT (CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION ON MY CAR EXPLODED WHEN THE SEALS FAILED (A DEFECT COMMON TO THESE CARS) GOING ABOUT 60 MPH ON THE WAY THROUGH KANSAS TO COLORADO. IT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AS IT LED TO THE CAR SMOKING AND AN EXTREME LOSS OF SPEED WHILE IN TRAFFIC. NISSAN KNOWS THERE ARE DEFECTS WITH THIS TRANSMISSION AND YET CONTINUE TO PUT THEM IN THE NISSAN ROGUES.

AFTER DRIVING 2.5 - 3HRS OF HIGHWAY DRIVING WOULD NOT ACCELERATE (INCREASE IN SPEED ). I HAVE BEEN IN INTERSECTIONS AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHICH IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE TO TRAVEL TO ALABAMA AND FLORIDA SEVERAL TIMES EACH YEAR FROM MY HOME IN SOUTH CAROLINA AND THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN TRYING TO PASS LARGE16 WHEELER TRUCKS OR JUST KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC FLOW. TO DO THIS WHEN TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OF 65 - 70 MILES PER HR. HAS CONCERNED ME, IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY MATTER. IT COULD EASILY CAUSE A SERIOUS CRASH AND DEATH. ON A RESENT TRIP(JULY /2015) TO ALABAMA ON I-65 TRAVELING AT SPEEDS ON 70+ MY CAR STARTED TO DECELERATE TO DOWN IT WAS NEAR 50 MILES PER HOUR, I PULLED OFF HIGHWAY AND TURNED MY CAR OFF. I HAVE CHECKED TO MAKE SURE IT IS NOT OVER HEATING, WHICH IT IS NOT. THE TEMP. GAUGE IS BELOW THE HALF MARK AND THE RPM GAUGE WILL NOT MOVE PAST 2.5. ALSO, ON THIS TRIP I NOTICED THAT ANY SLIGHT HILL GOING UP IT WOULD HAVE TROUBLE PULLING AND START TO DECELERATE THEN ONCE I GOT UP THIS HILL IT WOULD ACCELERATE TO 80+ MILES PER HR. I HAVE READ QUITE A FEW COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE CONCERNING THE SAME THINGS ARE HAPPENING WHEN TRAVELING LONG HIGHWAY TRIPS . THIS MUST BE TAKEN CARE OF BY NISSAN BEFORE SOMEONE DIES OR SERIOUSLY INJURED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. DURING PROLONG PERIODS OF DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF ACCELERATION WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED FIVE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO LOSE ACCELERATION POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE FUEL SENDING UNIT DOES NOT WORK. I FILL UP THE TANK AND IT DOES NOT READ FULL, AND IT IS UNRELIABLE. I CONTACTED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA AND THEY TOLD ME THE CAR IS NOT SUBJECT TO A RECALL OR WARRANTY EXTENSION SO TOO BAD. THIS IS A 7 YEAR OLD CAR! THIS SHOULDN'T FAIL! ALSO, NISSAN HAS ISSUED RECALLS FOR THE SAME PART FOR THE NISSAN FRONTIER AND ALTIMA, BOTH FOR THE 2008 MODEL YEAR.

I'VE HAD THIS ISSUE FOR A COUPLES OF YEARS NOW, MY ROGUE LOSSES POWER AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES OR MORE ON THE HIGHWAY. I'VE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS IN THIS SITE AND ELSEWHERE OF WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCUR AND HOW IT'S SO HARD REPLICATE BECAUSE THERE'S NO ENGINE LIGHT. I'VE ALREADY REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION IN APRIL 2013 AND NOW MY ENGINE LIGHTS IS ON, TOOK IT TO NISSAN AND THEY SAY IT'S MY TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY. I JUST HIT 126,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND OF COURSE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRES AT 120,000. NISSAN NEEDS TO SERIOUSLY CONSIDER A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT (IF IT HASN'T HAPPEN ALREADY).

ON A ROAD TRIP FROM LOS ANGELES TO LAS VEGAS, ENCOUNTERING NORMALLY HOT TEMPERATURES, AND AFTER SEVERAL HOURS OF DRIVING, THE CAR LOST POWER COULD ONLY ATTAIN SPEEDS OF 50 MPH OR LESS UP HILLS. THIS IS A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER TO THE OCCUPANTS WHEN OTHER CARS ARE EASILY GOING 70 - 75 MPH. IF YOU PULL OFF THE ROAD, THE CARS HAVE A TENDENCY TO LURCH FORWARD AND WITH DANGEROUSLY POOR ACCELERATION. FROM READING THE CAR FORUMS, THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL, WHERE THE CVT TRANSMISSION APPARENTLY OVER-HEATS AND PUTS THE CAR INTO "LIMP" MODE. THE FIX HAS BEEN TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSIONS AND INSTALL AN ADDITIONAL TRANSMISSION COOLER, HOWEVER MANY DEALERS TRY TO CHARGE THE CUSTOMER FOR THE COOLER, AND THE NISSAN FACTORY IS NOW HESITANT TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSIONS EVEN THOUGH THEIR LONGEVITY AND RELIABILITY HAS UNDOUBTEDLY BEEN COMPROMISED IF THE OVER-HEATING PROBLEM WAS EXPERIENCED. THERE SHOULD BE A MANDATORY RECALL DEMANDED BY THE NTSB BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR INJURED DUE TO THIS LACK OF ACCELERATION. THE PROBLEM IS DIFFICULT TO REPRODUCE AT THE DEALER BECAUSE IT INVOLVES A MULTI-HOUR ROAD TRIP AND HILLS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, PLEASE.

AFTER 5 HOURS OF OPERATION, WHILE CLIMING UPGRADE NEAR CHARLOTTE NC, VEHICLE SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR AND LOST POWER. THIS REPEATED OVER A SERIES OF INCLINES FOR THE NEXT 50 MILES AND NEARLY RESULTED IN SEVERAL REAR END ACCIDENTS. DURING THESE INCIDENTS,THE VEHICLE BOTH LOST POWER AND THE CRUISE CONTROL UNEXPECTEDLY SHUT OFF. LOCAL NISSAN DEALER CONFIRMED IT WAS DUE TO A KNOWN HEAT ISSUE WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS, AND AN ADVISORY WAS OUT TO INSPECT AND ADVISE WHEN REPORTED. NISSAN INSTRUCTED AN ADDITIONAL COOLING APPLIANCE BE ADDED TO KEEP THE FLUID COOL SO OPERATION WAS NORMAL. ISSUE IS THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BASED ON ASSUMPTION THAT ANY VEHICLE WILL DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR SEVERAL HOURS AND EVENTUALLY HAVE TO ENCOUNTER RELATIVLY EASY UPGRADES ON OUR HIGHWAYS. TRANSMISSION FAILURE UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES IS INEVITABLE, AND SO WILL BE POTENTIALLY FATAL OR AT LEAST INJURY INDUCING INCIDENTS.

AIRBAG LIGHTS WON'T TURN OFF. ALSO VEHICLE LOSES POWER IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION SOMETIMES...CONSUMER EMAIL REPLY ON 9/3/2015: "IT HASN'T BEEN DIAGNOSED YET. THE AIRBAG LIGHT BLINKS OFF AND ON AND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DOESN'T WORK"....UPDATED 09/22/15 *BF

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 08V5210000 WAS ISSUED RECALLING THE 2008 NISSAN ROGUE FOR A FAULTY AIRBAG SENSOR. WHY WHEN I OWN A 2008 ROGUE, AND THE DEALER HAS CONFIRMED THE OCS CONTROL UNIT FAULTY & NOW HAS FAILED, IS NISSAN NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING IT AT THEIR COST? THEY TELL ME IT IS BECAUSE ONLY A CERTAIN SUPPLIER WAS RECALLED EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW THE SAME PART IS THE ONE THAT IS FAULTY IN MY 2008 ROGUE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE AND IT WAS RECALLED ON MY MAKE & MODEL BUT BECAUSE MY VIN # WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL (I.E. NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE COMPLAINED), THEY REFUSE TO OFFER ANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I HAVE A 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WHO RIDES IN THE PASSENGER SEAT FOR 50 MILES TO/FROM SCHOOL EVERYDAY. THIS REPAIR IS $2500! IT IS A FAULTY PART & NISSAN NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING ALL PARTS THAT ARE DEEMED FAULTY AND FAIL. I INFORMED NISSAN THAT (HEAVEN FORBID) IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT & MY DAUGHTER FLIES OUT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD BECAUSE OF A FAULTY AIRBAG SENSOR, YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT IS ON RECORD & A LAWSUIT WILL BE FILED. NISSAN IS FULLY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, AS IS YOUR ORGANIZATION. BUT UNFORTUNATELY YOU LIMIT THESE RECALLS FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE BIG CORPORATIONS INSTEAD OF THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE.

THE GAUGE ISN'T READING FULL. AND AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE THERES PLENTY OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT. BUT ACCORDING TO EVERYONE AND ACCORDING TO NISSAN THEIR NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT.,

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,421.

AFTER DRIVING NEARLY 50 MILES ON THE HIGHWAY, I GOT OFF THE EXIT AND STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN. ONCE IT WAS CLEAR I TRIED TO ACCELERATE BUT DUE TO SOME KIND OF POWER LOSS THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND THE RPM'S DROPPED UNDER 1000. AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE POWER RETURNED TO NORMAL AND I DROVE TO MY ORIGINAL DESTINATION. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS PERSONALLY HAPPENED TO ME IN THIS VEHICLE AND I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT IT SO IT DOES NOT HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE.

AIR BAG LIGHT STARTED BLINKING OUT OF NOWHERE. DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT BECAUSE MY SENTRA DID THIS BEFORE TOO, BUT STOPPED. FINALLY BROUGHT IT IN BECAUSE IT WASN'T GOING OFF AND TOLD BY MECHANIC THAT THERE IS A SHORT IN THE SPIRAL CABLE THAT WILL NOT DEPLOY AIR BAG. ELECTRICAL SHORTS CAN ALSO CAUSE FIRES. NISSAN IS REFUSING TO FIX IT BECAUSE IT IS NOT A CURRENT RECALL AND WE ARE JUST PAST WARRANTY NOW - EVEN THOUGH IT STARTED PRE-EXPIRATION. THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE AFFECTED BY MAINTENANCE OR ANYTHING WE COULD'VE DONE WRONG. IT CAUSES A SAFETY ISSUE IN TERMS OF FIRE AND AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. ADDITIONALLY, I WAS ABLE TO SEE MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE WEB. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY ARE ALL USING A TRICK TO GET THE LIGHT OFF, NOT REALIZING THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IF IN AN ACCIDENT OR CAR CAN START ON FIRE.

FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE FAILED - DOOR COULD NOT BE OPENED. NISSAN HAD ISSUED AN SERVICE CAMPAIGN THAT COVERED REPAIRS IF THE ISSUE HAPPENED BY 72,000 MILES. ISSUE OCCURRED AT 74,000 MILES SO REFUSED TO COVER THE COST. THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE IF I NEEDED TO ESCAPE FROM THE VEHICLE FROM THAT DOOR. DUE TO THE SAFETY ASPECT, NISSAN SHOULD BE ISSUING A RECALL FOR THE LIFETIME OF THE VEHICLE. DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE HAD STARTED TO FAIL AT TIME OF REPAIR AND HAD TO BE REPLACED ALSO. AGAIN, NISSAN REFUSED TO HONOR THE SERVICE CAMPAIGN.

I WAS DRIVING ON I-5 FROM LOS ANGELES TRAVELING ABOUT 65MPH. I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT 55MIN WHEN MY VEHICLE RPM'S STARTED TO INCREASE AND MY MPH'S STARTED TO DECREASE. I TRIED TO PUSH THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TO ACCELERATE BUT JUST THE RPM'S WOULD REV UP AND CAR KEPT LOSING SPEED. I HAD TO PULL OVER VARIOUS TIMES AND LET THE CAR SIT WHILE OFF FOR ABOUT 20-25 MIN BEFORE I COULD DRIVE SAFELY AGAIN. THIS ONLY LASTED FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AT THE MOST BEFORE I WOULD HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN AND HAVE TO PULL OVER TO LET THE CAR SIT FOR A WHILE. ALSO I CHECKED ALL FLUIDS WHEN I PULLED OVER AND EVERYTHING WAS AT OPTIMAL LEVEL AS REQUIRED. THE CAR WAS NOT OVER HEATING EITHER. *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASHBOARD CAME ON. I HAVE TRIED TO RESET A FEW TIMES BUT IT WILL NOT RESET. DEALER WANTED $130 TO DIAGNOSE EVEN THOUGH THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED RIGHT AFTER I HAD THEM FIX ANOTHER RECALL. DON'T KNOW IF RELATED OR NOT. DEALER CLAIMS IT ISN'T. EMAIL REPLY FROM THE CONSUMER (SEPT 2, 2015): "I DIDN'T REPAIR IT. THE HORN DID NOT WORK BUT I SOLD THE CAR."...UPDATED 09/22/15 *BF THE CONSUMER HAS SINCE SOLD THE VEHICLE. UPDATED 10/01/15*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 155,000.

IMPORTANT: IF YOU HAVE A COMPLAINT ABOUT YOUR TRANSMISSION, ACCELERATION PROBLEMS OR LOSS OF POWER YOU NEED TO ALSO A COMPLAINT WITH THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION (FTC 877-382-4357) REGARDING YOUR DEALINGS WITH NISSAN. I JUST SPOKE WITH THE FTC AND THEY TOLD ME THAT WHILE THEY DON'T RESPOND TO INDIVIDUAL COMPLAINTS IF THEY SEE PATTERNS THEY DO. THE ONLY WAY WE WILL GET NISSAN TO RESPOND TO US IS BY COMPLAINING ABOUT THEIR BUSINESS PRACTICES AS WELL AS THEIR SAFETY ISSUES. THESE DEALERSHIPS AND CORPORATE CONSUMER AFFAIRS KNOW THAT UNTIL ENOUGH OF US COMPLAIN TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE AND STOP JUST PAYING FOR NISSAN'S KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH THE CVT AND OTHER ISSUES, THEY WILL KEEP GIVING US THE RUN AROUND. I HAVE TO PUT MY 2ND TRANSMISSION IN MY 2008 ROGUE IN 12 MONTHS. NISSAN TELLS ME MY LAST NEW TRANSMISSION (APRIL 2014) WAS OUT OF THE 12 MONTH/12,000 MILE WARRANTY. THEIR BUSINESS PRACTICES ARE HORRIBLE. THESE CARS ARE UNSAFE AND PUTTING PEOPLE IN DANGER. PLEASE MAKE YOUR VOICE KNOWN AT THE FTC AS WELL AS HERE. TELL OTHERS TO DO THE SAME. WE DESERVE BETTER. CONTACT ME AT [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN HUNT HIGHWAY GOING 45 MILES PER HOUR WHEN I STARTED TO COME UP A HILL AND THE CAR CAME TO A NEAR COMPLETE STOP WITH NO WARNING BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION BINDING UP CAUSING ME TO ALMOST BE REAR ENDED AND MY TIRES TO SKID A LITTLE TILL I PUSHED ON THE BRAKES TO TRY AND WARN PEOPLE BEHIND ME AND HAD TO EXIT THE ROADWAY INTO A DIRT FARM FIELD TO AVOID BEING HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

PROBLEMS WITH 2008 NISSAN ROGUE.....AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHING ON DASH. CANNOT RESET. NEEDS NEW AIRBAG CONTROL UNIT....$1200. TRANSMISSION MAKING BIZARRE SOUNDS AND NOT ENGAGING PROPERLY. A/C NOT WORKING ...COMPRESSOR, EVAPORATOR AND CONTROL MODULE NEED TO BE REPLACED...$3000??????? *TR

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING A USED 2008 NISSAN ROGUE THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. FROM RESEARCHING THE MATTER ONLINE, IT SEEMS THAT MANY 2007-2008 NISSAN VEHICLES WERE RECALLED FOR A FAULTY SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THAT CANNOT DETECT WHEN ANYONE IS SITTING IN THAT SEAT - IN OTHER WORDS, NOT AN ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAG BUT WITH THE SEAT SENSOR. HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP WE PURCHASED THE USED VEHICLE FROM SAYS OUR VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL, ALTHOUGH OUR ISSUE MATCHES WHAT IS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL AND PERTAINS TO OUR YEAR VEHICLE. *TR

MY VEHICLE LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ON WEDNESDAY. THE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE A BIT AND WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS PRESSED TO THE FLOOR, THE SPEED DECREASED TO ABOUT 30MPH AND THE ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE AN AIRPLANE TAKING OFF. THE CAR EVENTUALLY REGAINED ITS ABILITY TO ACCELERATE UNTIL I GOT OFF ON THE EXIT NEAR MY HOUSE AND THAT IS WHEN THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION AGAIN IN THE MIDST OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I'VE HAD THIS CAR AND EACH TIME I CALL THE DEALERSHIP THEY CLAIM TO NOT HAVE HEARD OF THIS EVER HAPPENING. IT EVEN HAPPENED ON A TRIP FROM TN TO SC. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE AND CONGESTED CITY STREETS. I AM NERVOUS ABOUT TAKING THE CAR ON TRIPS LONGER THAN 30-45 MINUTES LONG. THERE IS ALSO AN ISSUE WHERE THE TPMS LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON FOR DAYS. WHEN I HAVE IT CHECKED OUT, I'M USUALLY TOLD THAT THE AIR PRESSURE IS GOOD AND THAT THE LIGHT IS JUST MALFUNCTIONING. THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP DENIES HAVING KNOWLEDGE OF THIS ISSUE ALSO AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY A TON OF MONEY FOR THEM TO CHECK IT OUT. *TR

I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND I NOTICED THAT MY STEERING WHEEL JERKED SLIGHTLY THEN THE PS LIGHT CAME ON AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HAD HAPPENED UNTIL I HAD TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. AFTER THAT I DROVE IT TO THE CLOSEST PLACE TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT AND THIS OPERATION PRINTED ME OUT A REPORT CALLED NHTSA CAMPAIGN AND TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO THE ST. CHARLES NISSAN DEALER. ON MY WAY THERE THE PS LIGHT WAS OFF AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT THERE WITH NO ISSUES. THE EMPLOYEE AT NISSAN THAT HELPED ME SAID HE WAS ABLE TO LOOK AT IT AND TOLD ME THERE WASN'T ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE POWER STEERING. HE CALLED IT A GLITCH. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE FROM THE DEALER BACK TO WORK WITH NO PROBLEMS. AFTER WORK THE PS LIGHT CAME BACK ON WHEN I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. I WENT TO MY FRIENDS HOUSE TO PICK UP MY SON AND I STAYED FOR A FEW HOURS. WHEN I GOT BACK IN MY CAR THE PS LIGHT WAS OFF AND REMAINED OFF UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING RIGHT WHEN I PULLED INTO THE DRIVEWAY AT WORK. IT HAS REMAINED ON SINCE THEN AND HAS NOT TURNED OFF. THE CAMPAIGN STATES THAT IT'S FOR NISSAN ROGUE'S 2008-2009 VEHICLES BUT WHEN THE DEALER PUT IN MY VIN IT DID NOT SHOW UP FOR MY MODEL, HOWEVER THE MODELS THAT IT DOES SHOW UP FOR IS THE SAME VEHICLE AS MINE WITH THE SAME POWER STEERING ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE NISSAN TO TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR COVERING ALL PARTS AND LABOR TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. *TR

OVER A PERIOD OF ABOUT 2 YEARS, I WOULD HAVE ACCELERATION PROBLEMS BOTH WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, HILLS OR AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. AT FIRST IT WAS ANNOYING AND A FEW SECOND LONG PROBLEM BUT IT GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND MORE DANGEROUS. I HAD AT LEAST 3-4 TIMES WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY WHERE I COMPLETELY LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE EVEN TO PULL OFF TO A SAFE LOCATION. IT WAS LIKE A STALL HAPPENED. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE TURNING INTO TRAFFIC TO MAKE SIMPLE TURNS AS WELL AS LEAVING TRAFFIC LIGHTS. IN NOVEMBER, I REPLACED MY TRANSMISSION BUT I BELIEVE NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THESE PROBLEMS AND ARE PUTTING CONSUMERS AT GREAT RISK. EVEN AFTER THE REPLACEMENT OF MY TRANSMISSION (AFTER HEARING NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 120,000 MILES) I STILL HAD PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATION. NOW 6 MONTHS LATER I HAVE STARTED TO HAVE WHAT I CONSIDER DANGEROUS EFFECTS. THERE IS AS MUCH AS A 5 SECOND DELAY BETWEEN HITTING THE ACCELERATOR AND THE ENGINE ENGAGING TO MEET THE TRANSMISSION. I HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR TODAY AND BOTH ON THE STREET AND HIGHWAY I AM LOSING THE ABILITY TO PICK UP SPEED EVEN WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. I WON'T ALLOW MY OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS TO DRIVE MY CAR AND PLANT OTAKE IT NISSAN THIS WEEK. I DO ASK THAT THE NTSB OR THE AGENCY ADDRESS THESE CONCERNS WITH NISSAN. I KNOW THEY ARE RAMPANT WITH THE CARS WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS. I BELIEVE I AM IN DANGER IN THIS VEHICLE AND I FULLY BELIEVE NISSAN IS AWARE OF IT. *TR

CAR LOSES POWER WITHOUT WARNING, ON HIGHWAY GOING 80, ALL OF SUDDEN TOTAL LOST OF POWER ON ANY INCLINE. DANGEROUS TO MYSELF AND OTHERS AROUND ME. COMING OFF HIGHWAY HESITATES , APPEARS TO NOT MOVE AT ALL. EVENTUALLY CAR IS MOVING APPROX. 20 MPH, EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR HIGHWAY. NOT SPECIFIC TO MY VEHICLE ONLY, ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE, SHOULD HAVE A RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE HOOD UNLATCHED ON ITS OWN AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND CLOSED THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO REPLACED THE HOOD, TWO FRONT FENDERS, AND SUPPORT MECHANISMS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR ON DRIVERS SIDE FRONT DOORS FROZE AFTER FREEZING RAIN/ ICE STORM. IN THE MORNING I WENT TO OPEN THE DOOR AND START THE CAR. THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE HANDLES. THE PASSENGER DOOR HAD NO PROBLEMS.THOUGH I WAS NOT AWARE OF THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PROBLEM TO THE WEATHER AT THE TIME. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED IT HAS BEEN A VERY COMMON PROBLEM...COMMON WHY NOT RECALLED???????? I WAS QUOTED AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP $450 TO $500.00.THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE..NO ONE SHOULD CLIMB OVER OR HAVE TO OPEN THE WINDOW FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE...ITS A CARJACKING READY TO HAPPEN!!! *JS

DRIVING OVER A RAIL ROAD TRACK THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. THE CABLE ASS CONTROL TO THE TRANSMISSION BROKE OFF. WHEN WE HAD NOTIFY NISSAN OF THE PART WE NEEDED, WE WERE TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE A WHILE BEFORE WE COULD GET THIS PART THAT THERE WERE OVER 20 PEOPLE AHEAD OF US FOR THIS PART. SO I AM WRITING TO INFORM YOU OF A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS COULD HAVE CREATED A VERY BAD ACCIDENT.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT DID NOT DISCLOSE IF A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED OR NOT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V521000( AIR BAGS). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

I WAS TRAVELING HOME FROM WORK AND WAS ON AN INCLINE TRYING TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS AND I WAS JUST ABLE TO STOP IT BEFORE I WAS HIT AND CAUSED A MULTI CAR PILE UP DUE TO THIS FAILURE. LUCKILY I WASN'T TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED WHEN THIS HAPPENED SO NO MAJOR INCIDENT OCCURRED, THIS TIME, BUT IT COULD HAPPEN. *TR

WE WERE DRIVING BACK HOME WHEN MY HUSBAND NOTICED THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 65 MPH. THIS OCCURRED ABOUT HALFWAY HOME, SO ABOUT 200 MILES INTO OUR DRIVE BACK HOME (OF THE 350 MILE TOTAL). THE CAR WAS NOT OVERHEATED, NOR WAS IT MAKING NOISE. HE WOULD PUT HIS FOOT DOWN ALL THE WAY ON THE ACCELERATOR, AS IF HE WANTED TO GO FULL SPEED AND IT WOULD NOT RESPOND. THERE WEREN'T ANY WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP ON THE CONSOLE, AND IT WAS NOT OVERHEATED. WE IMMEDIATELY CALLED OUR LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM WE WERE HAVING. THEY SAID WE COULD TAKE THE CAR INTO THEM, BUT WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY $150 JUST FOR THE INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE, AND THEY CONFIRMED THERE WASN'T A RECALL SO WE WOULD ALSO HAVE TO FOOT THE BILL FOR THE REPAIRS. WE STOPPED TO EAT AND CALM OUR NERVES AND GOT BACK ON THE ROAD. WHEN WE GOT BACK IN THE CAR, THE PROBLEM DID NOT START UP AGAIN UNTIL A FEW MONTHS LATER, DURING OUR NEXT LONG DRIVE AWAY FROM HOME, AND HAVE AVOIDED TAKING IT ON LONG TRIPS SINCE THEN. THIS WAS MY FIRST AND LAST NISSAN. I CAN'T WAIT TO GET RID OF THE ROGUE! IT HAS PROVEN TO BE BUSY WITH ELECTRICAL ISSUES. *JS

AIRBAG DASH LIGHT STARTED FLASHING WITHIN 5 SECONDS OF A STRANGE POP/CRACK SOUND THAT CAME FROM THE DASH AREA. LOCAL NISSAN DEALER CURRENTLY HAS THE CAR, AND HAS INFORMED ME THAT THE AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE IS BAD. THE ESTIMATED COST OF THE REPLACEMENT WITH LABOR IS OVER $1,100. *TR

2008 NISSAN ROGUE AIRBAG DASHBOARD LIGHT SIGNALED THERE WAS A PROBLEM ON THE DASHBOARD. DEALER (NISSAN CHESAPEAKE, LOCATED IN CHESAPEAKE, VA) STATED THE AIRBAG DIODE WAS COMPLETELY DEFECTIVE AND THE AIRBAGS COULD NO LONGER DEPLOY. SINCE THE CAR HAD 62,300 MILES ON IT, NISSAN WOULD NOT OFFER ANY WARRANTY OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ON THE $1,400.00 BILL TO REPLACE THE DIODE. DEALER CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WAS EMBARRASSED THAT SUCH A PART WAS DEFECTIVE AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000. UPDATED 02/11/15*LJ UPDATED 3/24/15*CN UPDATED 9/20/2017*CN

FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS, MY GAS GAUGE HAS BEEN READING INCORRECTLY AND WHEN I WOULD GO TO FILL OUT THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD NEVER SHOW COMPLETELY FULL. IN SOME CASES, I WOULD TURN ON THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD READ SUFFICIENTLY LESS THAN WHAT WAS IN THE TANK AND THEN CLIMB BACK UP TO WHAT I ASSUME WAS THE CORRECT LEVEL. MY LAST FILL UP, THE GAUGE READ 3 BARS LEFT OF FUEL AND I PUMPED 14.5 GALLONS OF GAS AT THE STATION WHICH IS EXACTLY MY GAS TANK SIZE. I THEN LOOKED ONLINE AND DISCOVERED SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR AND OTHER MODELS WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE BUT NO GOOD FIXES APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN FOUND. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DOORS FAILED TO OPEN FROM THE EXTERIOR OR INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT BOTH DOOR HANDLES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

ON 11/20/14 I WAS ON HIGHWAY 80 DRIVING FROM ROSEVILLE CA TO PALO ALTO CA . I WAS IN THE FAR LEFT LANE (4 TOTAL) IN HEAVY TRAFFIC DOING APRX 50 MPH. WITH NO WARNING I COULDN'T ACCELERATE AND THE ENGINE ONLY REVVED WHEN I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL. I CUT OFF SEVERAL CARS TO GET TO THE RIGHT SIDE SHOULDER. AFTER I CALLED AAA A CHP SHOWED UP TO SEE IF I WAS OK. I EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED AND A TOW TRUCK WOULD ARRIVE IN ABOUT 2 HOUR DUE TO TRAFFIC. THE OFFICER SAID BECAUSE OF MY LOCATION I NEEDED TO REMAIN IN MY CAR UNTIL A TOW TRUCK ARRIVED. HE ALSO SAID HE WOULD REMAIN WITH ME UNTIL HELP ARRIVED. I WAS TOWED TO A SHOP IN FAIRFIELD CA (CLOSEST CITY). PAID $3,758 TO HAVE AN INDEPENDENT SHOP INSTALL A NEW NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION. FOUND OUT LATER NISSAN HAD EXTENDED THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES. MY CAR WAS WELL WITHIN THE WARRANTY REQUIREMENTS. I HAVE SPOKEN TO 2 NISSAN REPRESENTATIVES AND BOTH TOLD ME BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T DO THE REPAIR THERE WAS NOTHING THEY WOULD DO. I EXPLAINED I WAS FROM OREGON AND NEEDED TO BE HOME BY SATURDAY TO WORK. THE SHOP THAT DID THE WORK HAD ME ON THE ROAD THE NEXT DAY. THEY SAID BECAUSE THEY INSTALLED A NISSAN TRANSMISSION IT WOULD BE WARRANTED BY NISSAN. I ASKED IF I COULD SEND AN EMAIL TO SOMEONE HIGHER UP EXPLAINING MY SITUATION AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO NEED. I ASKED IF THEY WERE RECORDING OUR CONVERSATIONS AND WAS TOLD YES. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING IT'S ILLEGAL TO RECORD A CONVERSATION WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE OR APPROVAL. I HAVE CHEC

AS REPORTED BY MANY OTHER 2008 NISSAN ROGUE OWNERS, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT WAS FLASHING, INDICATING A NON-FUNCTIONAL AIRBAG (THE ENTIRE AIRBAG SYSTEM, DRIVER'S SIDE INCLUDED, WE FOUND OUT LATER). THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT ONE OF THE 200,000+ VEHICLES RECALLED (08V521000) FOR THE VERY SAME ISSUE WITH THE OCS (OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM). THE ONLY FIX, ACCORDING TO THE DEALER (AND THE SUBSEQUENT MULTIPLE CALLS TO NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS), IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE: 1) THE PASSENGER SIDE SENSOR DISABLES THE ENTIRE AIRBAG SYSTEM, AND 2) A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX ($1800-$2500) IS REQUIRED FOR A SAFETY SYSTEM SENSOR. IN LIGHT OF THE NEARLY 1 MILLION NISSAN VEHICLES RECENTLY RECALLED (2014) FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE,THE RECALL REALLY SHOULD HAVE APPLIED NOT ONLY TO THOSE INITIAL 200,000+ VEHICLES, BUT ALL THOSE VEHICLES WITH THE SAME SENSOR SYSTEM THAT THEY STILL HAVE NOT GOTTEN RIGHT. THIS IS POOR ENGINEERING AT IT'S BEST! *TR
