When I go long distance in my rouge the transmission slows me do to around 35 to 40 miles an hour going up hills and when you stop and go when you hit the gas is doesn't seem to want to go. Unsafe on the freeway it's going to kill somebody and I hope its looked into before this happens. I bought this so I had a family trusted vehicle for trips and I would never drive it for the reasons mentioned sometimes in town but mostly on the highway
Deceleration of vehicle resulting in having to pull over for an hour to let something reset. After an hour can drive for an hour before pulling over again. This is a re-problem. Vehicle deceleration can result in speeds as low as 30 mph on hwy.
When my car is running between 40 to 60 miles on a city street or hills is a noise like at ( rattles) under the car I went to the dealer a lot times and they can't find the problem
I am going to be on my third compressor replacement for this vehicle with a little over 100,000 miles on it. The defrost and the A/C are affected. It is particularly dangerous in the winter in new england when my defrost is sub-par and impedes visibility. I have read numerous complaints on the internet about this issue in this vehicle and it should not have to be on the burden of the consumer to continually pay for this!

Transmission is overheated after about 2 hr driving on highway. Its verry tough to climb to the hill, and you can drive only 40 mph. Its very dangerous when your car suddenly stop driving on highways. Its a known problem on M the web, people write a lot about thus issue, but there is still no recall. It needs a better cooler system.
Stationary, 1 year old in rear of vehicle and the door would not unlock. The button on the P/S & D/S unlocked every door except for the D/S rear door. We tried to use the keyless remote to unlock the door, that failed as well. We attempted to open manually from inside the rear and the lock would not give way. We could not safely remove our child from the backseat. The driver's side rear door is still locked and we cannot get in or out of that door. All other doors and locks function normally as they should.
The heat shield was loose and making noise after I bought the truck on 0818/2015 and I took it to Nissan and had it fixed on 07/12/16, I just had to take it back on 06/13/17 and had the same thing fixed but this time I had to pay out of my pocket, not happy about this at all, I think there is a serious problem with heat shields on this vehicle.
Vehicle was stationary in residential garage with flat tire. Scissors type jack had never been used. When I used the jack on flat, stable surface at hard point on vehicle per owner's manual it bent moments after taking weight. I stepped back from vehicle for my own safety, jack buckled, and car fell. Luckily I was not injured and wheel with flat tire was still on hub so vehicle was not damaged. However, when I contacted Nissan customer service (case #26836371) they informed me that they would not replace the jack as the car is no longer under warranty and had no process to escalate this safety issue that could be affecting other owners. A jack that fails immediately upon first use has to be due to a design, manufacturing, or metallurgical flaw. Attached photos show twisted jack and bent screw assembly.
I have had my car since 12'. never an issue, I keep up regular maintenance. I hit 80K a month ago. Driving Friday, regular speed, approx 40ph car just loses power in traffic. I had to coast to emergency lane. Towed to dealership, testing since Friday can't give me any answers.
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.
The automatic lock on the drivers side has stopped working when it is "cold" outside. It was taken to Nissan last year and determined that the lock had gotten "too cold" and that many other Rogues had been seen for the same issue. This is the second time this has happened. The door will not open.
While driving 70 mph on the highway my vehicle all of a sudden lost acceleration which resulted in my nearly being into an accident with a tractor trailer truck and other vehicles behind me. My foot was pressing the gas pedal to the floor and the vehicle dropped down to 40 mph and stayed there for some time. This happened numerous times while I was driving home with my daughter and I no longer felt safe using the vehicle. I did a search on google and found that hundreds of others were having the same issue which was the result of the cvt transmission but that Nissan was making the consumer pay to install these "cooler kits". not only are these vehicles with these transmissions unsafe and ticking timebombs; it is unfair that Nissan is making the consumers responsible for fixing an issue they are well aware of. We're trusting that our vehicles are safe enough to Transport our families and children in and they aren't!! my daughter and I both could have been in a serious car accident due to this cvt transmission issue that Nissan is well aware of. Please do something about this and hold Nissan accountable before someone loses their life. These vehicles are not safe!!
The A/C went out suddenly with only 57000 on this 2012 Nissan Rogue. My pregant wife is unable to drive this to work as it gets too hot in the vehicle. The shop quoted $1700 to replace a faulty A/C compressor. There is a lot of online chatter about multiple Nissan vehicles having A/C issues month to a few years after driving off the lot. This is ridiculous and Nissan should be held accountable. They already have a part that supersedes the replacement part that can be installed. They obviously redesigned this part for a reason. Please dorad this on if this is not the correct Agency to report this issue but it seems like a safety issue for my pregnant wife as she can't drive it to work.
Consumer 2012 Nissan Rogue was involved in a low speed motor vehicle accident on August 31, 2013. The airbag system is being investigated.. the lawyer on behalf of the driver, stated the air bags were replaced prior to the collision. The driver's injury was consistent with delayed and/or partial deployment of the air bag. Consequently, her face stuck the steering wheel.
Hood latch failed to remain secure during operation of the vehicle, upon failure the hood flew open without notice during vehicle operation/driving on local road, impairing the driver's vision, causing to stop immediately. Damage to hood, brackets, both front fenders and roof. Called Nissan dealer, refused to help as not under warranty, denied any recalls or issues with premature hood release. Remedy requested to have Nissan make car repairs to damages sustained, provide rental car. Car is not operational at this time. Urgent need this to be escalated.
Lost power 2X in past year. Once on city streets, even though gas pedal floored, car barely moved. Next on highway, had to cruise until could safely exit highway. Issue possibly with cvt transmission
1. Nissan refuses to take any responsibility for using dunlop 7000A/S 225/55/18 tires on this vehicle which are dangerous in any condition besides dry road conditions these tires are inherently defective also filed complaint with Goodyear tire which refuses to acknowledge any issues with this tire. 2. the traffic feature of the navigation system does not work. After 20 hours on the phone with siriusxm they advised me this is a Nissan issue. Nissan also refuses to take any action. 3. the radio turns on and off or the source of the media changes when you blow the horn also Nissan has no solution or fix for this problem.
