general problems of the 2009 Nissan Rogue - part 2

The contact owns a 2009 Nissan Rogue. While driving at any speed, there was a strong vibration. The independent mechanic was notified, but could not duplicate the failure. The manufacturer had a service campaign, but the contact was not notified. The contact was informed that the statute had expired due to the mileage on the vehicle. The manufacturer provided no repair solution other than stating to take the vehicle to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The dealer diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The failure mileage was not available.

Vehicle loses power while driving at highway speeds. Very dangerous situation causing vehicles to swerve around us, and nearly causing a collision.

My car would not accelerate after driving on the highway (75 mph) for more than 2 hours no matter how hard I stepped on the gas. It only happened when driving after 2 hours on the highway and did not have an issue again since I usually do not take long trips. This happened twice for my road trip to and from houston and dallas. A few months later, the car jerks when coming to a stop and accelerating from a stop. This was on regular roads about 40 mph. Noticed many complaints online with the same issue and was told it's due to the transmission. I believe that this should be investigated as it is a safety hazard and unfair for car owners to pay for repair since many 2008 & 2009 Rogue owners reported the same issue.

Tl- the contact owns a 2009 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds the vehicle would be making an abnormal rumbling noise. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the tires of the vehicle may have been making the noise. The tires of the vehicle were rotated. The contact stated that the rumbling noise was still in the vehicle. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic for a second opinion where it was diagnosed by the technician that the tires of the vehicle was not the problem, but the motor was moving when the vehicle was on. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the axle needed to be replaced. However, the contact stated that the failure recurred. The contact took the vehicle to the independent mechanic where it was stated that the dealer never performed repairs. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 68,000. Wh.

When I was traveling on the highway for over an hour going 80 mph, the vechicle quickly deccelerated and when I stepped on the pedal for gas all the way to the floor it did not accelerate. It was very scary since there were are traveling behind me and I was afraid they would crash into me. This has happened every time I take my vehicle on the highway traveling for over an hour for the past year. I am terrified I am going to cause a crash while traveling with my child, this is definitely a safety hazard.

The contact owns a 2009 Nissan rouge. After driving consistently over 100 miles and at highway speeds, the vehicle failed to accelerate. After restarting the vehicle, it would resume normal operation for approximately one hour and then fail again. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 60,000.

Transmission froze, no forward gear, no reverse gear. Luckily it happened when pulling into the coalfield rest stop northbound on I-55. As I slowed to pull off on the exit ramp, the Rogue jerked twice and came to sudden stop. With the transmission locking up it may have caused a serious accident if I were to be on the interstate (I-55 northbound) at approximately 6:30pm on may 14, 2015. Traffic at the time was average but steady in flow.

I purchased the vehicle from a reputable used car dealer used. The vehicle seemed ok very nice interior exterior appearance. On the test drive the vehicle would not shift into second or third , the dealer agreed to pay for a transmission flush. The next day when I got I n the car to drive to the Nissan dealer to have the transmission service done, I noticed the vehicle being erratic, it felt like a tire out of round or a suspension issue. When I got to the dealer I noticed the brand new tires the dealer had installed were worn on the outside. So I had them check it out , the vehicle was out of alignment. Then I noticed the oil that had been put in the vehicle was wrong 10w20 instead of 10w30. While at the Nissan dealer they performed the recall on the harness in the door. They also noticed the tires low and performed and alignment. After the transmission flush and fill, they also did the ecm updates. I noticed the vehicle was still doing the same thing it would not shift into 2nd sometimes or third. The next day. The tpms light came on again. Nissan needs to be held responsible for the lack of quality and repair these major problems that have been reported by numerous complaints. I am stuck with a lemon of a car, because my finance company would not allow me to buy what I wanted, I have to pay for this vehicle for 6 years, and I am afraid I got stuck. Buyers need to be made aware of this low quality vehicle and the manufacturers lack of regard for complaints. 70000 miles is nothing for a vehicle today, but at the high cost of repair and replacement this is unacceptable.

Car transmission makes whining sound. As you drive up an incline it gets worse. Car shuts down while driving. You are forced to pull over as you have no power. After 5 -10 minutes the car will start up again. Car was brought to Nissan and they were aware of the issue. They installed an external oil cooler as their cvt transmission has issues with overheating. This is most definitely a safety issue as the car just shuts down and apparently this is a known problem by Nissan. Nissan charged $1000 to fix the issue which should be a recalled safety issue with the car. There have been numerous complaints and situations where this has happened to other Rogue owners.

2009 Nissan Rogue. Consumer writes in regards to a failure to remedy cvt transmission overheating design defect. The consumer stated when the transmission overheated, the vehicle unexpectedly slow down and it would no longer accelerate. The consumer stated none of Nissan's remedies worked, despite having the transmission fluid flushed and replaced, and thereafter, having the transmission replaced. The consumer was then informed a new coolant tank would fix the issue.

I was travelling on a highway on a long distance trip and after about 2 1/2 hours, my vehicle won't accelerate past 60 mph as I was passing another vehicle. It was dangerous this happened because vehicles(including big trucks) behind me had to brake because of my unexpected no acceleration. There were no warning lights lit on the instrument panel to indicate anything wrong. After a the rest stop, the vehicle went back to normal but did it again while returning three days later and after driving for more than two and half hours. Called Nissan customer service and was told to take it to Nissan dealer to get checked. Called dealer and I have appointment next week.

My girlfriend was driving on highway 80 east heading up to truckee. While climbing in the mountain the car lost the ability to rev higher than 2500rpm. Her speed tropped from 65 to 35 on a mountain road and was almost rear ended by a semi. No matter how much gas she gave the care would not go faster than 35 mph. She had to pull over off the freeway and after shutting off the car for 15 minutes every ran fine. Now any time we drive for more than 60 minutes we loose power and have to pull off the highway to let the car rest because of loss of power. Almost been in two accidents.

The car went into "limp mode" unexpectedly and does not move. Nissan's older cvt transmission gets hot and to protect itself, Nissan has it programmed to shut itself down. As a result, the car will not move, even though it is in gear. This happens after long higtway drives (1 hour +) or when climbing long hills. The dealer solution is to continually flush the transmission fluid every 30k miles at a cost of over $200 each time. This is very very very dangerous, if you are making a left-hand turn into traffic after coming to a stop, there is a huge potential to be involved in a collision. Additionally, when on the highway, climbing a hill, the car has again, gone into limp mode and slowed down to a crawl, making the vehicle behind you almost rear-end you. Additionally, Nissan's answer has been to extend the warranty on the transmission to 120k, but that is of no value because the dealers will never admit that the cvt needs replacing nor does it pay for the $250 cvt flush. Please look into this, it is very very very dangerous.

The contact owns a 2009 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving at 60 mph, the vehicle failed to accelerate. The contact mentioned that the fuel pedal was depressed but the vehicle would not accelerate. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 160,000.

My 2009 Nissan Rogue is having problems with being unable to accelerate when going up an incline with speeds of 55mph and above. This has been an ongoing problem for almost a year. I'll be doing 60-75mph and then I notice that my foot is on the floor board and I'm losing speed. The first time this happened (July 11, 2013) I lost all speed and had to pull off the interstate. It was incredibly dangerous. On top of it I wasn't able to get my car to start for 20 minutes. I took it to a mechanic after it happened who said everything was fine, and he couldn't find anything. The loss of speed has happened on at least 5 occasions since last summer.

Vehicle's cvt transmission regularly enters "safety mode," triggering a sudden loss in power at high speed (75mph+). Nissan aware that the issue exists and is widespread, but waits for complaining customers to come to dealership to install a transmission oil cooler.

Driving on the highway my transmission seems to have trouble shifting gears when traveling over 50 mph, I was driving and had my gas pedal to the floor and my car seemed to have no power. I exited the highway for safety purposes and once I came to a stop off the interstate I tried to make a left turn towards a gas station and my car stalled in the middle of the road. I let off the gas and tried to accelerate, finally successful after a few tries. This has happened several times and while I have had children in the car making it very unsafe. I have been doing research and found that there are problems with the cvt transmission. The warranty was extended to 120k miles by Nissan and since I never received a letter informing me of this I just recently passed 120k miles. In the beginning of this problem everyone diagnosed it as fuel pump/injection issues and now it's too late to have it fixed. This needs to be recalled immediately with as many people like myself having this same issue. Since may of 2014 I have had numerous problems and now that I have gotten the proper diagnosis I feel like Nissan is putting people like myself and others that were not properly notified in time of this extended warranty on serious danger. I have been lucky that no one has hit me when I take off from a stop sign and my transmission won't shift into gear leaving me stalled. This is not ok and they shouldn't be able to get away with putting a limit on when to fix or replace damaged parts!.

One day, there were no issues with the vehicle. The following day, when attempting to drive, the car exhibited extremely poor acceleration from a stop (I. E. Starting a car in 4th gear). The car would very slowly accelerate to ~25mph, then begin to perform better. Clearing an intersection from a stopped position took up to 5-10s longer than it should have. Also determined that the car no longer had functioning break lights. Car was not safely usable. Seems to be a very common issue with this model, based on internet searches. The dealer claimed initially to have no knowledge at all of this issue. Dealer replaced brake pedal switch and problem was resolved. Repair was not done under warranty, but was done under my extended warranty, so I still had to pay to have this known, safety critical issue repaired.

While exiting the interstate the car jarred to a stop. When we tried to accelerate at the green light the engine revved but would not move. When we pressed the accelerator all the way the transmission caught and the car struggled to go 5 miles an hour- jarring all the way. We barely made it to a parking lot before it died completely.

I had driven my 2009 Nissan Rogue from new jersey to boston, fairly heavy traffic. As I neared my destination, I stopped at a red light. As I pulled away to take a left turn, the car would not accelerate and limped across route 1, forcing heavy, high speed, oncoming traffic to stop. I spoke with the local dealer and they acknowledged that it is a problem and that Nissan is not offering a solution. When I took the car to the NJ dealer to leave it for a couple days for them to trouble shoot they were not able to replicate the issue. And had me pay to change the fluid. The problem has gotten worse and the dealer refuses to do anything about it. The car is not predictable and safe to drive with my 2 young daughters. Fwiw, the dealer that I bought the car from replaced the transmission a few years ago under warranty for this exact problem. Any local dealer denies this issue exists despite the tremendous amount of evidence to the contrary on the internet. . Read more...

The cvt was replace at 95000 miles due to total failure. At 12000 miles while driving on a road with lots of hills the car lost power and suddenly slowed down to 30 mph. It seemed to reset after shuting down and letting the car rest for several minutes. I talked to my machanic and they suggested cleaning the fuel injectors and a new air filter. I did that and it still happened. I brought it to Nissan, they checked it for 3 days and found nothing. They said to wait for a code to come up and they could get to the bottom of it. At 140,000 miles the code came up as an intermitent tourque connverter circut problem. Nissan then said that they couldn't recreate the code so the didn't know what to fix. After reading several posts about the same problem and the same reaction from Nissan, I think that a class action lawsuit is in order. I don't think that someone needs to die due to Nissans faulty vehicles, for action to be taken.

I bought this car from a Toyota dealership and a used car with 82k miles on it. Around christmas I was on my way from modesto, CA on the I-80 back to reno, nv. I had the cruise control set to 70 and while going uphill the cruise control shut off and I began loosing speed really fast. I put my foot on the accelerator but there was nothing. I had the pedal floored and yet I kept loosing speed. At first it happened only on hills, now it's happening on flat land. I've also noticed that going from a stop to go point my car almost stalls as if it were a manual, it's automatic. I've almost gotten into an accident a few times because of this issue. The Toyota dealership I bought it from says they, "can't replicate the problem," so I'm driving around this car hoping for the best until it gets worse and actually causes and accident or until the check engine light comes on. I did research and the symptoms from other rouge owners similar to my symptoms, all ended up in new transmissions. . .

Tl- the contact owns a 2009 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that the gift shift got stuck in park. The contact stataed that when the problem first started the geat shift could be shook and then come loose. The contact had to have the vehicle towed to the dealer and was told the gear shift and the shift lock cylnoid needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 73,000 and the current mileage was 74,000. Rl.

Driving down the highway, my 2009 Nissan Rogue began overheating. Had the vehicle towed to my mechanic where he found coolant in the spark plugs so replaced all plugs and checked the radiator. When I went to pick up the vehicle, it wouldn't start. He checked it over again and said that it had a blown head gasket. Unfortunately, the power train warranty was only good for 5 yrs/60,000 miles. I was 6,000 miles over the limit. When Nissan was contacted to see if there was a recall for this problem, I was told there was no recall for the power train. When I asked them if they had noticed a high incidence of power train problems being reported, I was told "well, yes and no. " huh?.

Vehicle would start and I was able to change gears but these will not activate. Even when accelerating the vehicle it will not move. Vehicle had to be towed. This is the second incidence; the first time we experience this situation was at the time we took the vehicle out of the dealer. After stopping for gas and starting the vehicle again it only moved for about 5 mins, then stopped completely. Vehicle was returned to the dealer and a different vehicle provided (same make and model); now three years after the first incident we have the same situation (same situation, two different vehicles, three years timeframe). We have been told that correcting the situation will cost between $2500-3000.

When going over 60 miles an hour, usually about an hour into a long drive, the Nissan Rogue will not accelerate. The rpm indicator goes haywire and my foot is completely down on the pedal but there is no acceleration. This first happened in August 2012 when I was driving over a mountain to get to the desert so I thought the car was overheating. Since then this has been happening consistently whenever I drive for over an hour (which I often do for work). At times, the car will not move forward if it is at a stoplight even when my foot is completely on the floor. Then it revs up after a minute but not before everyone else starts honking. This is extremely dangerous when you are on the freeway and suddenly your car stops accelerating. All the cars behind you start passing you but it will only take one car not paying attention to cause a huge accident, injury or death and then Nissan will be in real trouble. I have found hundreds of incidences and complaints from other Nissan Rogue drivers over the past couple years with the exact same problem.

I was driving down the highway at 65-70 mph. Came to a slight long incline on the highway. It slowed to 60 miles per hour with the accelerator all the way pushed down. When I came to a rest stop and took off again-the acceleration was slow to pick up speed. This is not the first time this has happened. I was coming back from seattle to spokane, wa going up the mountain pass. I could not go over 30 miles per hour with the accelerator pushed all the way down. It happened on another hill further down the road. Again when I stopped-their was a delay in acceleration. Since this a company car and have the option to purchase it at 80,000 miles- I will not. Because I was going to buy it and give it to my daughter since she will be taking driver's education this year. I feel that this car is a safety hazard especially for a new driver. I will not be buying a Nissan in the future for my daughter. Or any other Nissan. I will also let our fleets department know about this problem.

The contact owns a 2009 Nissan Rogue. While attempting to stop the vehicle, it stalled without warning. The dealer stated that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified, but did not offer any assistance since the transmission was replaced once before free of charge. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was unavailable. The failure mileage was 90,000.

At several times in the past coming from out of a stop, the vehicle would not accelerate. The first time it happened I was able to push the pedal hard to get acceleration and managed to regain acceleration. On 7/9/12, while driving on the freeway at steady speeds, I began to slow down to slowing traffic, when traffic picked up I was not able to get acceleration out of the vehicle. I punched the pedal to the floorboard and got no acceleration whatsoever. The rpms would not increase the overdrive would not respond and was just coasting at 40 mph. This was such a risk as I had fast coming traffic and had to pull to the slow lane to not be a hazard in the middle of the freeway. The vehicle never regained acceleration and had to keep pedal pushed to continue moving. I proceeded to take the vehicle to the dealer, but the insisted that since they received no computer error codes or could not duplicate the problem, they could not do anything for me. I searched online and noticed it has been happening to lots of people and could be several possible issues. It seems most of the causes are a result of long distance driving which I do 4 times a week and somehow resets upon turning off and turning back on vehicle or vehicle cooling down. The dealer "could not" spare the time for someone to drive it for that long so they left it at that. . I feel this is a big safety hazard and hope that this issue can be dealt with the manufacturer as a recall.

Heard knocking during acceleration gas pedal around 20-40 miles/hour . Possible cvt transmission.

While driving home from wa to CA I noticed while driving up the great vine my 2009 Nissan Rogue started to decelerate from 70 mph to 45-55 mph, I had my foot pressed pedal to the metal with no acceleration. The vehicle just made it but while at another slight hill my vehicle did the same thing however this time it reduced to speed that posed a safety concern while on a highway. The speed dropped from 70 to about 30 in a matter of seconds. My infant son and wife were in the vehicle as it started to shut down I managed to get out of the highway but not before we had big rigs and other vehicles slow down or change lanes to avoid a collision. My vehicle would no longer move nor would for I had zero acceleration capabilities. Please recall this vehicle for it poses a safety concern that may cause a serious injury, lawsuit and even death to an operator, passenger and or others.

I was driving on I-25, my car set on cruise control at 75 mph when suddenly the speed dropped to 45 mph in a matter of seconds - without warning. I pushed the gas pedal down to the floor but it didn¿t do anything. There was also a whining sound like the car was working extra hard. I immediately pulled off the highway; fortunately, there were no cars behind me. I was confused and didn¿t know what happened so I sat there a few minutes thinking the car overheated. I thought I would give it a chance to cool down. After about 10 minutes, I put my emergency lights on and got back on the road. I kept the emergency lights on and drove slower to see if it would happen again. It seemed to be okay as long as we didn¿t have to go up hill and I kept my speed down, I tested it along the way. Upon taking it in to Nissan for inspection, they thought the problem was due to too much transmission fluid, put in at the factory, so they removed some. After a couple months I got back on the highway and it happened again. This time Nissan replaced the transmission. I don't feel safer, as I understand this cvt problem occurs in mountainous areas, such as colo. I have also read blogs from people with ¿08 & ¿09 Rogues that had the transmission replaced and it went out again, not always right away. Driving at high speeds then quickly losing speed with no indication (brake lights) to the drivers behind is without question a potentially deadly situation. I still fear it will happen again. I won¿t drive my Rogue in mountainous areas and stay away from highways as much as possible. I purchased this Rogue with the expectations it would take me where I need to go safely. I have asked Nissan to switch vehicles with me - asking for a model that doesn't have safety issues. They refused.

Looses power and slows in freeway traffic. If I had known I could send my complaint to you, I would have done so a couple of years ago when I reported the problem to Nissan USA . What a joke this auto is! and what a joke Nissan is!.

During the cold weather, and it happens in every winter that the transmission was not shifting in the morning, it stayed at high rpm when gas panel was applied. It was very dangerous since my commute started with a highway.
