2008 Nissan Rogue complaints

FUEL SENDING UNIT IS FAULTY. CANNOT GET ANY IDEA OF FUEL LEVEL IN THE VEHICLE. ONLY 45000 MILES ON THE CAR. NISSAN HAS RECALLED THIS FOR THE FRONTIER AND PATHFINDER, SO IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THEIR VEHICLES, BUT THE DEAL IS CHARGING ~$500 TO FIX IT. *JS

STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN. PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. CONTINUED DOWN THE ROAD AND COULD NOT GO ABOVE 40 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. STOPPED THE CAR AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED OFF THE CAR. THOUGHT MAYBE JUST A HICCUP AND WOULD RETURN TO NORMAL. STARTED IT UP AND BEGAN TO DRIVE AND STILL WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE ABOVE 40 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. CALLED THE SHOP AND LET THEM KNOW I WAS ON MY WAY. ON THE WAY TO THE SHOP THE CAR RAN FINE, GOING NORMAL SPEED. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANY RECORD IN THE COMPUTER OF THE PROBLEM AND SO FAR HAS BEEN UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SENSOR FOR THE AIRBAGS FAILED AND THE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000. UPDATED 6/4/12 *CN

NHTSA PREVIOUSLY CONDUCTED A RECALL ON 2008 NISSAN ROGUES FOR PROBLEMS WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR NOT CONNECTING PROPERLY WITH THE SRS, MAKING THE SRS INDICATOR FLASH AND RENDERING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG USELESS. I PURCHASED MY ROGUE USED A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO, AND WHEN THE PROBLEM AROSE, CHECKED YOUR DATABASE TO FIND IF THERE WAS A RECALL. THE NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE FOLKS TELL ME THAT MY VIN IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL. A BRIEF SEARCH ON GOOGLE HOPING TO HELP ME FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH THIS REPAIR WOULD COST, INDICATES THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ROGUE OWNER AFFECTED BY THIS. I WONDER IF THE RECALL WAS SUFFICIENTLY BROAD. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THIS MALFUNCTIONED ON ITS OWN, BUT WANTED TO MAKE YOU AWARE. *TR

THE ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE IS THAT IT IS SHOWING A QUARTER TANK OF GAS, BUT IN REALITY THERE IS NO GAS AT ALL. THE CAR STOPS ACCELARTING AND EVENTUALLY DIES. I FIRST HAD THIS PROBLEM CHRISTMAS EVE 2011. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY ADDED SOME GAS AFTER NOTING THE GAUGE AND THE CAR STARTED UP. THEY TOLD ME BECAUSE IT WAS COLD OUTSIDE THAT THE GAUGE GETS STUCK TO THE SIDE OF THE CAN. WELL THIS HAS HAPPEN TWICE MORE IN 40 AND 50 DEGREE WEATHER. THE LAST INCIDENT HAD ME STRANDED AT 9 PM ON MARCH 10 ON THE SIDE OF I465 E. THERE IS NO SPECIFIC RECALL ON THE ROUGE, BUT NISSAN HAS A RECALL ON SEVERAL OTHER MODELS DISPLAYING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

VEHICLE HAS BEEN POPPING IN AND OUT OF GEAR, LURCHING,STOPPING FOR THE LAST TWO DAYS. TODAY IN LURCHED FORWARD, LAUNCHING US DOWN AN ICY HILL, AFTER DOING 5 OR 6 360 DEGREE SPINS, WE STOPPED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL. ONLY BY SHEER LUCK, DID WE NOT HIT ANYTHING. THIS SEEMS LIKE A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD. IS NISSAN DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT? *TR

WAS AT A STOP LIGHT. PUSHED ON ACCELERATOR TO GO FORWARD BUT CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. IT WOULD ONLY IDLE FORWARD. A TROUBLE LIGHT CAME ON AT THAT INSTANT SAYING TO CHECK ENGINE. HAD CAR TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP SAID THE CAR SUFFERED A TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR WAS EQUIPPED WITH A CVT TRANSMISSION. COST TO REPAIR ESTIMATE BY DEALERSHIP AT $4,500.00. NISSAN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON TRANSMISSION TO 120,000 MILES DUE TO ISSUES WITH CVT, BUT SINCE THE MILEAGE ON THE CAR WAS 600 MILES OVER THAT, THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE COST OF REPAIR. TOOK THE CAR TO AN INDEPENDENT TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP. CAR WAS RETURNED TO US. ON DRIVE HOME THE CAR ONCE AGAIN DIED. TRANSMISSION SHOP HAD CAR TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS AS THE ISSUE DID NOT SEEM TO BE RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION. DEALERSHIP SAYS CAR NOW HAS ENGINE FAILURE AND WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. COST ESTIMATED TO BE OVER $8,000 FOR NEW ENGINE OR OVER $5,000 FOR A USED MOTOR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR WARNING LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED, BUT STATED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V393000 (TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS) WAS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE CONTACT'S VIN. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE FAILURE BY REPLACING THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,141 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 36,300.

GAS GAUGE FAILED TO READ ACCURATELY AFTER TURNING 16,000 MILES. MUST FILL TANK TO OVERFLOW LEVEL TO BE SURE IT IS FILLED. CURRENTLY AT 16,500 MILES. DEALER CONTACTED - HAD NOT HEARD OF PROBLEM. I PROVIDED TSB # AND SERVICE MANAGER QUOTED THE FOLLOWING COSTS TO DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR: $119-DIAGNOSIS/ $420 FOR SENDER AND SUB-SENDER UNITS (ROGUE IS AWD) / $263 LABOR. THIS PROBLEM IS A DANGEROUS DEFECT AND RATHER THAN FALL UNDER THE TSB CATEGORY A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. NISSAN SHOULD COVER THIS AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED CONSTANTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO REMOVED THE AIR BAG FROM THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,539.

ON DEC 12, 2011 AT 0500 AM MY 2009 2008 NISSAN ROGUE HAD A KEYLESS ENTRY ROLLAWAY. THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND ROLLED AWAY CAUSING CAR AND PROPERTY DAMAGE (DAMAGE TO THE CAR DOOR) AFTER TURNING OFF MY ENGINE I LEFT THE CAR, LEAVING THE CAR DOOR OPEN AND THE CAR ROLLED AWAY. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW OF KEYLESS ENTRY CARS AND THAT IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF BOTH THE NTSB AND NISSAN TO PERSONALLY NOTIFY PEOPLE OF THIS MAJOR DESIGN FLAW AND TO PROVIDE CORRECTIVE ACTION TO AVOID REPEATED ACCIDENTS. SOME SORT OF "FIX" SUCH AS AN AUTOMATIC LOCK SHOULD PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM LEAVING ROLLING AWAY WHEN THE CAR ENGINE IS TURNED OFF. IN REVIEWING THE INFO AVAILABLE FROM NTSB I NOTED THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT HAS BEEN NOTED IN SIMILAR CASES INVOLVING ROLLAWAY ACCIDENTS AND THAT BOTH INDUSTRY HAS NOT TAKEN CORRECTIVE ACTION. *TR

EVERY TIME I GO TO FILL UP MY TANK, THE GAS GAUGE BARS NEVER REACH THE FULL TANK INDICATOR. IT ALWAYS SHOW THAT MY TANK IS 80% - 90% FULL. I ALWAYS WAIT UNTIL THE LOW GAS LIGHT COMES ON BEFORE I FILL UP, BUT BECAUSE THE GAUGE IS INACCURATE, I HAVE TO FILL UP MORE OFTEN FOR FEAR OF RUNNING OUT OF GAS AT NIGHT WITH MY TWO YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE CAR. *TR

VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING NORTH IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF A SIX LANE INTERSECTION. THE VEHICLE MADE IT THRU THE INTERSECTION AND SLOWED TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS INOPERABLE IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF THE STREET. THE FUEL GAGE READ A QUARTER OF A TANK AND THE LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT WAS NOT ON. A GALLON WAS ADDED AND THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. IT WENT IMMEDIATELY TO THE GAS STATION WHERE OVER 16 GALLONS WERE ADDED IMPLYING THE TANK WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY. NISSAN SAID IT WAS MOST LIKELY THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. SEVERAL OTHER NISSAN OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE AND AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, BUT DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS TO THE DEFECT. THE VEHICLE HAD EXPERIENCED SIMILAR SYMPTOMS AS THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V393000 ( TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS), BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. A LOCAL MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR DEFECT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

I HAVE A NISSAN ROUGE 2008 WITH 58K, ME AND WIFE WERE DRIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS, BETWEEN DENVER AND DILLON, COLORADO , WHEN THE CAR JUST SUDDENLY STALLED WITHOUT ANY WARNING, CAR STOP ACCELERATING SPEED DROP FROM 65 TO 35 IN 30 SECONDS WE ALMOST GOT HIT BY TRUCK BEHIND US IT TOOK ME 10 MINUTES TO RESUME DRIVING AND 30 MINUTE LATE THAT HAPPEN AGAIN AND WE HAD TO PULL OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. AFTER SPENDING ABOUT AN HOUR ON THE SHOULDER, IT WOULD RESUME DRIVING NORMALLY IN . THE DEALER CAN'T FIND PROBLEMS. *TR

I PURCHASED A NEW 2008 NISSAN ROUGE IN MARCH OF 2008. MY FIRST ROAD TRIP WAS IN MAY OF 2009. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I LOST POWER (VERY DANGEROUS). I TOOK THE OVERDRIVE OFF, PUT PETAL TO FLOOR, PULLED OVER TO SIDE OF THE ROAD NOTHING HELPED. I WENT TO DEALERSHIP FOR A NOISE I HEARD ALSO ON TRIP, MOTOR MOUNTS WERE LOOSE BUT NOISE DID NOT CHANGE. AY THAT TIME I LET THEM KNOW ABOUT LOSS OF POWER. THINKING IT WAS JUST A FLUKE BECAUSE AROUND TOWN I DIDN'T HAVE TROUBLE WITH POWER. WENT ON ANOTHER ROAD TRIP AND IT DID THE SAME THING. SPECIALIST SUPPOSEDLY FLEW IN TOLD ME IT WAS BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS A TINY BIT TO HIGH. I TOLD THEM I BOUGHT IT OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR, AFTER BLINKING OF EYES THEY STILL CLAIMED THAT WAS THE REASON. THIS YEAR NEXT ROAD TRIP AND IT DID THE SAME THING AT 4 DIFFERENT TIMES...VERY SCARY!!! IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. MY SON TOOK IT TO AIRPORT TO PCK FRIENDS UP, IT HAPPENED A HOUR AND A HALF FROM HOME. THEN RECURRED IN 5 LANES OF CITY INTERSTATE TRAFFIC. HE WAS SO CLOSE TO GETTING HIT BY THE GRACE OF GOD HE DIDN'T. I TOOK IT TO THE CITY 2 WEEKS AGO AND IT DID THE SAME TO ME. IT IS SO SCARY TO BE GOING ALONG AT 65 MPH IN 5 LANES OF BUMPER TRAFFIC AND LOOSE POWER. NOW I AM MAKING PAYMENTS ON A CAR THAT I COULD NOT EVEN TRUST TO DRIVE MY KID BACK TO COLLEGE THIS YEAR. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I HAVE BEEN ON THE PHONE WITH HEADQUARTERS OF NISSAN FOR OVER A MONTH NOW AND I AM NOT GETTING NO WHERE. LOOKING ON THIS WEBSITE IT LOOKS LIKE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DECELERATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED THE FAILURE OCCURRED A SECOND TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

3 TIMES NOW MY 2008 NISSAN ROGUE HAS HAD ACCELERATION PROBLEMS ON THE HIGHWAY. IT HAPPENED THE 1ST TIME ON AUG. 20, 2011 THEN AGAIN ON SEPT. 5, 2011. BOTH TIMES I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, AT 60-65MPH WHEN SUDDENLY, THE CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 40MPH EVEN WHEN THE GAS PEDEL WAS FLOORED. I HAVE READ ONLINE MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I FEEL THIS CAR IS UNSAFE-AS YOU CAN NOT MOVE THE CAR UP TO SPEED TO GET IT OUT OF THE WAY OF ON COMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE NISSAN DEALER ON SEPT. 10-BUT THEY ARE TELLING ME THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS, THE GEAR SHIFT FINALLY SHIFTED OUT OF PARK. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE FROM PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE SHIFT ASSEMBLY WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE CAR STARTED JOLTING WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP AND THEN EVENTUALLY WENT INTO GEAR AND DROVE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO INVESTIGATE (PUTTING A TOTAL OF 10 MILES ON THE CAR BETWEEN TIME THE ISSUE STARTED AND DROPPING OFF AT DEALER - MASTRIA NISSAN IN RAYNHAM, MA). DEALER TOLD US THE CVT TRANSMISSION NEEDED FULL REPLACEMENT, BUT CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL DEALER GOT THE PART...IT WOULD JUST SOUND WEIRD. DEALER CALLED ABOUT 5 DAYS LATER AND TOLD US TO DRIVE THE CAR IN TO HAVE THE REPAIR DONE UNDER A NEW WARRANTY NISSAN WAS OFFERING DUE TO EXCESSIVE DEFECTS IN THE CVT TRANSMISSION. ON THE WAY THERE, THE CAR STARTED DECELERATING RAPIDLY ON ITS OWN APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT AND FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL...EVENTUALLY SLOWING TO ABOUT 1 MILE AN HOUR...REALLY LIMPING ALONG AS I TRIED TO MAKE IT UP TO STOP LIGHT TO TURN ONTO A SIDE STREET TO CALL A TOW TRUCK. AS I LIMPED UP TO THE STOP LIGHT, THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY SWITCHED INTO LA DIFFERENT GEAR AND ACCELERATED VERY FAST AND SHOT ME OUT INTO THE INTERSECTION THROUGH A RED LIGHT! I JUST BARELY AVOIDED A SERIOUS COLLISION AND THEN IMMEDIATELY PULLED THE CAR OFF THE ROAD AND CALLED THE TOW TRUCK. I AM REPORTING THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THIS CVT DEFECT IS DEADLY!!! NISSAN IS JUST TREATING IT AS A WARRANTY ITEM...BUT IT REALLY NEEDS A FULL RECALL! IT CAN MAKE THE CAR IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATE OR DECELERATE WITHOUT ANY ACTION BY THE DRIVER...AND THE FACT THAT IT HAPPENS MOST AT LOW SPEEDS MEANS IT IS LIKELY TO HAPPEN WHEN SLOWING FOR A

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE SHE NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER AND AS OF THE DATE OF THE COMPLIANT THEY HAD NOT DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 36,000.

ON A DRIVE FROM NC TO GA WE NOTICED THAT WE WERE LOSING ACCELERATION ON EVERY HILL ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER ABOUT 2 1/2 HOURS INTO THE DRIVE. WE COULD NOT ACCELERATE UP HILLS AND PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. AS WE CLIMBED THE HILLS WE LOST ACCELERATION. AFTER STOPPING FOR LUNCH THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO GO AWAY UNTIL ANOTHER 2 1/2 HOURS MORE WHERE THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE. TRACTOR TRAILOR TRUCKS WERE BARRELING DOWN ON US BECAUSE WE KEPT LOSING ACCELERATION. WE PULLED OFF AT AN EXIT AND BARELY COULD ACCELERATE FROM A STOP. WE PULLED INTO A NISSAN DEALER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID THEY THOUGHT IT WENT INTO SAFETY MODE BUT COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THAT THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS AFTER A COUPLE HOURS INTO THE DRIVE AND GOES INTO THE SAFETY MODE WHICH REDUCED ACCELERATION AND POWER. NISSAN SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT THEY CAN ONLY DO SO BY DRIVING IT MORE THAN 2 HOURS. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND STALLED. UPON RESTART, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE IN ANY GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHIN THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE AND TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 101,000.

WHILE COMING OFF AN INTERSECTION THE 2008 ROGUE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSETION. PRESSING THE GAS WOULD SLOW THE CAR MORE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED. EVENTUALLY AFTER PUMPING THE GAS THE CAR WOULD MOVE AGAIN. I HAD THE DEALER LOOK AT THE CAR AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND SAID IT WAS JUST TOO HOT OUTSIDE CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO RUN HOT. I LIVE IN AZ AND IT IS ALWAYS HOT OUT HERE. THE SAME INCIDENT HAPPENED 2 TIMES AFTER I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AFTER LOCATING NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 08V521000 (AIR BAGS) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN FOR THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THE FAILURE LISTED IN THE RECALL WAS THE EXACT SAME FAILURE EXPERIENCED IN THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,974 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY STALL WITHOUT WARNING. HE ALSO NOTICED SUDDEN DECELERATION OR NO ACCELERATION AT ALL. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT AWARE OF THE FAILURE. NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 32,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROUGE. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 75 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE WAS DEFECTIVE AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE ANY FUEL IN THE TANK.

I HAD A COMPLETE TIRE BLOWOUT/FAILURE YESTERDAY APRIL 8, 2011. TIRES ARE YOKOHAMA PARADA 225/65R17... DOT# FDF5N4Y4409 TIRE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING 65MPH ON HIGHWAY 75 JUST NORTH OF TULSA, OK. SIDEWALLS OF TIRE JUST BLEW OUT... COMPLETE SEPARATION. AAA RESPONDER SAID THAT HE HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT ON A PASSENGER VEHICLE... ONLY ON TRUCK TIRES. HE MENTIONED THAT IT LOOKED SIMILAR TO WHAT HE HAD HEARD OF THE FIRESTONE TIRE FAILURES. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SUPPLY A PHOTO.. *TR

FRONT DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LOCK STOPPED WORKING, VEHICLE ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. SAFETY CONCERN, EXPENSIVE REPAIRS UNWARRANTED, THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY A RECALL. NUMEROUS NISSAN OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. *TR

RECENTLY I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN I FILL UP MY 2008 NISSAN ROGUE THAT THE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT READ FULL. CONTACTING 2 DEALERS I WAS TOLD THERE IS NO ISSUE THEY KNOW OF. UPON CHECKING ON THE INTERNET I FIND THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS, IN ALL YEAR ROGUES, AND A COUPLE OTHER NISSAN MODELS. NISSAN HAS TO KNOW ABOUT IT. SOME SAY THEIRS STAY 1/4 OF A TANK DOWN, WHILE THE MAJORITY SAY AN 1/8 OF A TANK. THIS FALSE READING COULD RESULT IN PEOPLE BEING STRANDED IN DESOLATE PLACES, THEREBY THREATENING ONES HEALTH; OR AN ENTIRE FAMILY'S HEALTH, I KNOW A GENTLEMAN WHO BOUGHT A 2011, HAS LESS THAN 5,000 MILES ON IT, AND HIS ALREADY HAS THE SAME ISSUE. THIS HAS TO BE A NISSAN ISSUE, AS I SEE ON NO OTHER AUTO MAKES ON LINE. DO YOU HAVE ANY DATA ON THIS? THANK YOU. *LN

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN THREE WEEKS THIS HAS HAPPENED. WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE SHUT OFF DUE TO RUNNING OUT OF GAS. THE PROBLEM BEING THAT THE GAS GAUGE SAID I HAD OVER 1/4 TANK OF GAS LEFT. I HAD CALLED THE DEALER TO FIND OUT WHAT COULD BE WRONG AND I WAS TOLD IT MAY BE THE FUEL SENDING UNIT OR THE ACTUAL GAS GAUGE THAT'S FAULTY. I'VE READ THAT OTHER INDIVIDUALS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE NISSAN ROGUE'S GAS GAUGE.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL 4X4 CONTACT TIRES, SIZE P215/70/R16. THE TIRES WERE WORN DOWN TO THE WEAR BAR WHICH THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED OF AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE IN FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO OFFERED TO TAKE 50% OFF A SET OF REPLACEMENT TIRES. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 21,000. UPDATED 01/31/11/ *BF UPDATED 02/03/11

COLD DAY IN NYC. THE 2008 NISSAN ROGUE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR FAILS TO OPEN. AT FIRST I USED THE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM. THEN I TRIED TO USE THE KEY AND IT WILL STILL NOT OPEN. I HAD TO GO AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE TO GET INTO THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY AT NIGHTS AND DIMLIT AREAS. I HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY CHARGED ME $250 TO FIX PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THIS NEW MODEL IS SUPPOSED TO BE UNDER WARRANTY. NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A NISSAN AGAIN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REVERSING FROM A RESIDENTIAL GARAGE, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE STOPPED MOVING WHEN IT CRASHED INTO SEVERAL OBJECTS ON THE ROAD, INTO A TREE AND THEN STALLED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON TWO OCCASIONS. WHEN THE SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED THE DRIVER RECEIVED INJURIES TO THE BACK AND WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. THE POLICE WERE NOT NOTIFIED AND A REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER WHO INFORMED HIM THAT THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF A FAILURE DURING DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 28,835.

THE ACCELERATION IS VERY DELAYED FROM PRESSING ON THE GAS. SOMETIMES WE HAVE HAD TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION TO GET IT TO RESPOND. IT HAPPENS ABOUT EVERY 2 TO 3 DAYS AND WILL LAST THROUGHOUT THE DRIVE. IT IS STILL DRIVABLE, BUT IS VERY DANGEROUS. ESPECIALLY WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. WE HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIME ALREADY. THE FIRST TWO THEY COULD NOT FIX IT, THE THIRD THEY THOUGHT THEY FOUND AND FIXED THE PROBLEM, BUT 4 DAYS AFTER THAT IT STARTED TO HAPPEN AGAIN, TODAY I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND ALMOST GOT HIT BY A CAR SINCE THE VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS AT A RED LIGHT AND PROCEEDED ABOUT 5 MPH TO MAKE A LEFT TURN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY EXTREME PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL UNTIL THE VEHICLE STARTED MOVING AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS A SHORTAGE IN THE CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY IN THE VEHICLES TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. TWO DAYS AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED THE IGNITION WOULD START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIANS WERE ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE BUT WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLIP OUT OF GEAR. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER TO AVOID A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP (DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION WAS NOT GIVEN). THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO STATED THAT UNLESS THEY HAD FULL VEHICLE MAINTENANCE RECORDS, THEY COULD OFFER NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000.

MY WIFE AND I LEASED A 2008 NISSAN ROUGE TWO YEARS AGO. AN ISSUE HAS SINCE TRANSPIRED. IN OCTOBER OF 2009 WE NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT OCCASIONALLY GOES ON REGARDLESS OF THE SIZE OF THE PERSON SITTING THERE. THIS LIGHT INDICATES THAT THE AIRBAG IS OFF. WE TOOK IT TO NISSAN AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. OVER THIS LAST YEAR THE ISSUE CONTINUES TO ARISE. I DECIDED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN THIS PAST MONDAY WITH A ROUTINE CHECK. PRIOR TO MY DROPPING THE VEHICLE OFF I DECIDED TO RECORD IT ON MY PHONE AS WE WERE DRIVING SEEING AS THOUGH I COULD NOT BRING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AS SOON AS IT WAS HAPPENING. AFTER THE CAR WAS THERE FOR A FEW HOURS, I GOT A CALL BACK SAYING THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND THEY ARE READY TO RELEASE. I AM STILL NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING THE VEHICLE SO I LEFT IT THERE AND CALL CUSTOMER AFFAIRS. FINALLY AFTER 4 DAYS, THEY RETURNED MY CALL. THEY INDICATED THAT THEY SPOKE TO THE SHOP AND ARE NOT AUTHORIZING ANY REPAIRS OR PAYING FOR THE RENTAL VEHICLE AS THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND ARE SAYING THAT MY 125 LB WIFE MAY BE TOO LIGHT TO ACTIVATE THE BAG SENSOR. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ~65MPH ON THE INTERSTATE IN STEADY TRAFFIC ON DRY ASPHALT, THE PASSENGER-SIDE REAR DOOR WINDOW "EXPLODED." THE PASSENGER SEATS WERE IN THE DOWN (FLAT) POSITION; MOST OF THE GLASS FELL IN TO THE CAR, BUT ENOUGH BLEW OUT OF THE CAR TO EMBED IN/SCRATCH THE EXTERIOR PAINT. NISSAN DEALER IN THE AREA OF OUR TRAVEL VACUUMED THE GLASS OUT OF THE CAR AND LOOSELY COVERED THE WINDOW SPACE WITH MASKING TAPE AND PLASTIC SEAT COVERS (THE KIND USED TO COVER THE SEAT FOR TRANSPORT AND/OR GARAGE WORK). SINCE THIS WAS A ROAD TRIP SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES FROM HOME, WE HAD TO REINFORCE THE PLASTIC COVER JOB WITH HEAVY CARDBOARD, ADDITIONAL PLASTIC, AND TAPE SO WE COULD DRIVE THE INTERSTATE AND PROTECT THE CAR FROM FURTHER DAMAGE, WIND, AND RAIN. I CONTACTED MY HOME DEALERSHIP TO ADVISE OF THE INCIDENT AND REQUEST THAT PARTS BE ORDERED TO MAKE REPAIR ASAP AFTER I RETURNED HOME AND TO FIND OUT IF INCIDENT IS COVERED BY FACTORY WARRANTY. REPAIR IS DELAYED BY HOLIDAY WEEKEND; WARRANTY COVERAGE HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED. LUCKILY, WE HAD NO BACK SEAT PASSENGERS. *TR

ELECTRONIC DOOR LOCKS ON MY 2008 NISSAN ROGUE HAVE FAILED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS RENDERING THE ELECTRONIC LOCKING MECHANISM INOPERABLE. NISSAN HAS REFUSED TO SERVICE MY VEHICLE WITHOUT EXORBITANT REPAIR FEES. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO THE FOLLOWING: 1. HAVING A SECURE ENVIRONMENT IS PARAMOUNT IN CERTAIN NEIGHBORHOODS. WHEN LOCKING THE DOORS IT'S IMPERATIVE NOBODY CAN GAIN ACCESS AT WILL BY WALKING UP TO THE CAR. IF ANYONE CAN SIMPLY OPEN THE DOOR TO GAIN ACCESS, CARJACKING, INJURY, OR EVEN MURDER IS EASIER. IF THE DOORS LOCKED PROPERLY THIS PROVIDES A MORE SECURE ENVIRONMENT. 2. NISSAN KNOWING THERE IS A SECURITY PROBLEM WITH THEIR LOCKING MECHANISM AND NOT RECALLING THEM FOR SAFETY CONCERN IS NEGLIGENT. IT'S AN OPEN DOOR TO A LAWSUIT IF SOMEONE WERE TO BE MURDERED DUE TO A DOOR THAT DIDN'T LOCK, ALTHOUGH THE DRIVER PUSHED THE LOCK BUTTON AND HEARD THE LOCKING NOISE. REMEMBER, IN THIS CASE THERE'S NO OBVIOUS INDICATION THE DOOR ISN'T LOCKED UNLESS SOMEONE WALKS UP AND OPENS IT FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE DRIVE "THINKS" THE DOOR IS LOCKED, WHEN IN REALITY IT'S AN "OPEN DOOR" FOR CARJACKING OR ROBBERY. THIS FAILURE IS AN INTERMITTENT OF OPERATION. SOMETIMES THE DOORS LOCK OK, OTHER TIMES THEY DON'T. IN ADDITION, SOMETIMES THE DOORS UNLOCK OK, OTHER TIMES THEY DON'T. 3. IN EMERGENCIES IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO UNLOCK DOORS QUICKLY. SINCE 99% OF THE TIME WE ALL USE THE BUTTON TO LOCK AND UNLOCK DOORS, USING THE MANUAL LOCKING LEVER IS UNFAMILIAR. IN EMERGENCIES EVERY SECOND COU

NOISE COMING FROM CVT. STARTED AT 12K. HAD TRANSMISSION REPLACED. AT 23K SAME PROBLEM. HAD TRANSMISSION REPLACED. AT 35K SAME PROBLEM. HAVING TRANSMISSION REPLACED (4TH TRANSMISSION) REPROGRAMMING NO HELP. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE SL AWD IN 2008. I BEGAN HEARING A NOISE EMANATING FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 6000 MILES. THE NOISE OCCURS CONSISTENTLY WHEN DECELERATING FROM ABOUT 40 MPH TO 5 MPH. AS THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO DECELERATE, THE NOISE SOUNDS LIKE A RATTLING AGAINST METAL. THE NOISE CHANGES TO A GRINDING SOUND LIKE METAL RUBBING AGAINST METAL AS THE VEHICLE LOSES SPEED. THE GRINDING SOUND APPEARS MORE PRONOUNCED WHEN AT A SLOW SPEED, SUCH AS WHEN TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT. SERVICE MANAGER ACKNOWLEDGES THE NOISE BUT HAS NO EXPLANATION FOR IT AND SAY NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAS A FIX FOR IT, SO I TOOK IT IN FOR THE FACTORY FIX AND HAVE NOTICED THE NOISE IS STILL THERE. I BELIEVE THE NOISE COMES FROM THE CVT TRANSMISSION, AND IT IS PROBABLY CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE CVT BELT OR THE CVT BELT SLIPPING ON THE VARIABLE PULLEYS. EITHER CAUSE COULD LEAD TO CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE CVT BELT AND RESULT IN AN IMMEDIATE AND TOTAL LOSS OF RESPONSE TO DRIVER ACCELERATOR INPUT. MY NISSAN ROGUE CURRENTLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 17000 MILES, AND THE NOISE IS BECOMING MORE EVIDENT. *TR

NOISE ON NISSAN ROGUE 2008 THEY CHANGED TRANSMISSION STILL DID IT THEY REPROGRAMMED IT STILL DOES IT WHEN WE TAKE IT TO DEALER THEY SAY THEY DON'T HEAR IT BUT I HEAR EVERYDAY. *TR

THE ABS AND SLIP LIGHTS ILLUMINATE ON THE DASH AND THE ABS SYSTEM BEGINS TO ENGAGE RANDOMLY. THE CAR BUCKS AND JOLTS AS IT SLOWS DOWN RAPIDLY. THIS OF COURSE IS VERY UNSAFE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES OVER THE PAST MONTH. THE DEALER HAS HAD THE CAR A COUPLE WEEKS AT A TIME AND CAN'T RECREATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY WON'T REPLACE ANY PARTS. THE DEALER CLAIMS THIS IS A DECISION MADE BY NISSAN AND IF THE DEALER REPLACES THE PARTS THEY WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM. WE EVEN PROVIDED THEM VIDEO TAPE FROM A PHONE OF THIS OCCURRING. THE SERVICE MANAGER TELLS US NISSAN HAS NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WHICH IS HARD TO BELIEVE WHEN THERE ARE MANY WEB-SITE POSTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM IN MANY NISSAN VEHICLES. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL SOMEONE IS CRITICAL INJURED OR KILLED. *TR

ON MY 2008 NISSAN ROGUE MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY COMING ON. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS JUST FOR THEM TO TELL ME THE WERE NO "CODES" AND THAT THEY JUST RESET IT. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY SAY THE ONLY DOCUMENTED OCCURRENCE IS THE LAST ONE FROM LAST WEEK BECAUSE IT WENT TOT HE SERVICE DEPARTMENT RATHER THAN THE BODY SHOP (MY CAR WAS IN AN ACCIDENT EARLY LAST YEAR BUT THE TIRE PRESSURE IS UNRELATED TO THAT.) NISSAN HAS ADVISED ME TO TAKE THE ROGUE IN YET AGAIN TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTICS DONE. WHEN I ASKED WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY JUST RESET AND THE LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN WHAT WILL I DO? JUST KEEP GOING BACK TO THE SHOP? SHE SAID SHE COULDN'T HELP ME ANY FURTHER ALL SHE COULD TELL ME TO DO IS TAKE IT BACK TO THE SHOP. *TR

ON THE EARLY MORNING OF 12/31/09, THE CAR I WAS DRIVING IS A NISSAN ROGUE 2008.I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN FROM BRADDOCK RD TO DANBURY FOREST DR, I LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL. IT KEPT GOING AROUND AND FORTUNATELY, THE CARS COMING FROM THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD WERE ABLE TO USE THEIR BRAKES AND AVOID A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. AT THAT TIME I THOUGHT IT WAS AN ICE ON THE GROUND. LATER ON, 01/01/10, DRIVING ON ROUTE 50 AND MAKING A LEFT TURN ONTO ANNANDALE RD. ONCE AGAIN, I LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL. I TRIED TO MAKE A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL I TRIED TO TAKE THE CAR OFF OF THE ROAD TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. AT THAT TIME, THE CARS WERE PASSING BY. ON FRIDAY EARLY MORNING, THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE SHEEHY NISSAN DEALER WHICH IS LOCATED AT 6727 LOISDALE RD. SPRINGFIELD, VA. 22150. ON SATURDAY MORNING, I WENT TO REPORT THE INCIDENT. LATER ON OF THE SAME DAY, THE MECHANIC CALLED TO INFORMED THAT A PART OF THE STEERING WAS BROKEN AND THEY WILL BE ORDERING AND FIX IT BY WEDNESDAY. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS CAR. IT IS NEW AND MANY PARTS OF IT ARE CONTINUALLY FALLING . IF I'M ALIVE IT IS NOT BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY OF THE CAR. IT IS A MIRACLE. THIS TWO INCIDENTS, ARE NOT THE FIRST WITH THIS TYPE OF CAR. APPROXIMATELY, TWO MONTHS AGO, I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE SHIFT STICK GOT STUCK AND IT STARTER MAKING A LOUD NOISE EVERY TIME I WAITED TO TURN EITHER SIDE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE SAME DEALER AND THE MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WAS A BOOT FROM THE SHIFT STICK THAT GOT LOOSE. I'

STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES BETWEEN 32 AND 40 MPH (DUE TO CVT TRANSMISSION) AFFECTING STEERING ABILITY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH SHE HEARD A GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT-END OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPAIRED AS A FREE REMEDY. THE CONTACT WAS IN THE PROCESS OF CONTACTING THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 12,000. UPDATED 10/21/09. *LJ UPDATED 10/20/09

2008 NISSAN ROGUE, SL AWD TRANSMISSION IS VERY SLUGGISH TO ACCELERATE BETWEEN 20 - 40MPH, ESPECIALLY WHEN ENTERING A HIGHWAY FROM ON RAMP. IT DOES NOT SEEM TO SHIFT UNLESS YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS A LITTLE, THEN RMP'S GO DOWN AND THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE PURCHASING MY VEHICLE IN MARCH 2009 . SINCE THIS CAR HAS A CVT TRANSMISSION, YOU DON'T HEAR OR FEEL GEAR SHIFTS. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE SLOW ACCELERATION WAS NORMAL FOR THAT VEHICLE'S CVT TRANSMISSION. I BELIEVE IT IS DANGEROUS AS THERE IS NO PREDICTABILITY WHEN IT WILL OR WON'T ACCELERATE AS NECESSARY WHEN MERGING ONTO HIGH SPEED HIGHWAYS. DANGER FROM BEING REAR ENDED IS HIGH . THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY NISSAN. *TR

THE ACCELERATION IS VERY DELAYED FROM PRESSING ON THE GAS. SOMETIMES WE HAVE HAD TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION TO GET IT TO RESPOND. IT HAPPENS ABOUT EVERY 2 TO 3 DAYS AND WILL LAST THROUGHOUT THE DRIVE. IT IS STILL DRIVABLE, BUT IS VERY DANGEROUS. ESPECIALLY WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. WE HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIME ALREADY. THE FIRST TWO THEY COULD NOT FIX IT, THE THIRD THEY THOUGHT THEY FOUND AND FIXED THE PROBLEM, BUT 4 DAYS AFTER THAT IT STARTED TO HAPPEN AGAIN. THE CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. *TR
