36 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 08/13/2015

I was driving on the freeway on my way home from work. The car started to decelerate from about 68 mph down to 40 mph. I was pressing the pedal down more and more to try and accelerate but the car would not accelerate. It just kept going slower and slower as the minutes passed by. Soon I was driving slower than the big semi's and I had to pull to the last lane (slowest lane) because I could not keep up with the regular flowing traffic. This is not the first time it happens to me. I had this problem last year and Nissan had to replace the transmission. Now with a new transmission and 30,000 miles into it, the same thing is beginning to happen. I truly believe the cvt transmissions in Nissan are defective and unreliable. I cannot drive my car for 2 hours before this problem begins. Everything on the panel indicates that the car is performing fine but then it goes into this "auto shut off" mode and the car stops performing correctly.

I have a 2012 Nissan Rogue with currently about 98k miles. I was driving the car on the highway going about 70 mph when the car made a sound from under the hood. We began to experience acceleration issues. After getting off of the highway, any time that I had to accelerate up a hill or from a stop light, the car would stall, sometimes moving and other times it would not. This became dangerous when I would try to make a left turn on a stop light. I took the car to be looked at by Nissan who explained that the repairs would be over $4000. Nissan has had recalls on other cvt models beginning with the 2013, and I believe this model needs to be added to the recall list. Additionally, many transmission repair shops that I call cannot work with a cvt transmission.

38 Equipment problem

I have only had my used. Nissan Rogue for about a year and a half. I always keep up with the maintenance. I first noticed the problem as I was driving from dallas, TX up to oklahoma city, ok. About one hour into the drive up to oklahoma, the speed began to drop without any notice, and for no apparent reason. The vihechle was not over heating, and I had originally set the cruise control at about 70 mph. As cars were passing by, it slowly began to decrease it's acceleration. No matter how much I stepped on the gas it would not go up in speed. I was not even going up hill at this point. The speed limit must have been at about 70 mph and my Rogue's speed kept decreasing and other cars, and 18-wheelers kept passing us. To the point where it was only going 35 mph. I had to stop and pull over for about 20 minutes and then it began working normal. I first thought it may have been a one time thing. Now after a few trips it has became a real problem. I am going to have it checked out by Nissan. Today on my way to work (about a 40 min. Drive from home) as I got off the freeway I came to a full stop at a red light, once the light turned green my car was still on but it would not accelerate at all for at least 20 seconds. I had to turn my emergency lights on to let the cars behind me pass me. When I first purchased my used Rogue I made a drive from dallas TX, to new orleans, la. And I had no problems. Not even a year later I have problems with acceleration, and just two days ago I heard aa strange rattling noise. I finally have some time off tomorrow and I am going to get some answers and solve this problem. Nissan needs to get this fixed, this is an extremely dangerous problem!.

Anytime you try to start it, it can be started during the second try, sometimes you can smell smoke when you are driving. There is an electrical malfunction somehow.

40 Equipment problem

I received a recall notice from Nissan : NHTSA recall 15v-032 the recall letter said on certain vehicles snow/water and salt carried onto the driver side floor area can seep into the carper near the harness connector area and eventually cause and electric short to occur. This short may lead to connector damage, possibly causing a fire. On Thursday March 26 I took my vehicle to Nissan of garden city where they inspected my kick panel wire harness for damage. My vehicle was affected by this recall and fixed.

41 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 02/13/2014

Was driving north on interstate 75, atlanta, GA, when the front left tire certainly blew causing me to loose control of car and rear-ending the car in front of me. My car was a total loss as well as the auto I hit. Purchased this auto on June 25, 2013 with 8,283 miles. Noticed in July that the tire pressure warning light would come on and stay on for a day or two; so I had the car looked at on 2 occasions and was told that it something pertaining to the senor but it was ok because the light would go out on it own. The night of the accident the light was on and all of a certain I heard a load pop sound which was the tire blowing out and I loss control of the car causing the accident. When the market valuation report was ran on February 27, 2014 I learned that this vehicle had a recall issued by NHTSA 12v068000. I believe that was why the tire pressure warning light continued to come on for a few days then it would go off but the tires always had the same amount of air in each tire each time it was checked.

Navigation system rerouting to opposite direction especially when entering NY state thruway occurrence just started occurring Nissans idea was to pay for new maps at $150 each do not believe that is the answer but could be come dangerous if the map says turn right and then you realize you need to turn left while entering the thruway.
