I have a 2009 Nissan Rouge. The CVT TRANSMISSION is failing. I know there was a recall on certain 2009 Rouges for this. Mine is not on the recall list but I think it should be. Its leaking fluid bad, just all of a sudden. It won-€™ t accelerate after I stop at a traffic light, it-€™s sluggish, sometimes it feels like the engine is going to fall out when I do finally get it to go, it smells hot, it sputters and jerks when on freeway and in traffic I-€™m not sure what it-€™s going to do. I-€™m a 67 year old woman who is on a fixed income. I can-€™t afford a new car or to have another transmission put in this one. Nissans are suppose to last forever. They are supposed to be reliable cars. I need help

2009 Nissan Rogue with less than 60,000 original miles won't accelerate even when pushing down the throttle pedal. On the highway, once driven for a while, it will not maintain speed no matter how much throttle is applied. Research seems to indicate a transmission design flaw. There are lots of similar complaints that can be found on-line. I feel this is very much a safety hazard.

Drivers side door occasionally will not open. It can never be opened from outside, but there have been several times when I'm inside and go to open the door to get out, and it wont open. This is with engine turned off, car in park, and doors unlocked. In an emergency, such as car stalling on a railroad track/car sinking in a pond/engine on fire - I could be stuck inside!

Recall -harness connector (torque converted solenoid circuit intermittent) previous recall wasn't completed properly as I continue to experience intermittent erratic behavior of the power train and related circuitry, two weeks after the manufacturer said they fixed the harness connector inspect and replace recall (Rogue connect) that was place on the car. The car jerks uncontrollably when driving at high speed on the highway or hesitates at stop then takes off suddenly at high speed. I like for the manufacturer to look into this and properly address this recall by fixing this issue with this vehicle they built which I still current drive. A diagnostic scan was done at autozone and I was told the torque converter solenoid circuits are intermittent and that it's due to a damaged transmission wiring harness that is either loose or open circuit in the system and may cause a fire.

Defective door handle/locking assembly. Both front doors handle assembly froze up preventing me from opening both doors. In the mean time my wife had climb from the back seat to open thedoor from the inside. One time she stopped at the top of the driveway to get the mail on a snowy windy day, she pulled up next to the mailbox got out for a second and the door blew shut locking my 2 year old son, the keys and her phone in the back seat thankfully neighbor was home and used a coat hanger to activate the latch. This could have been much worse. I called the local dealer ship and paid 99 bucks to diagnose and they say I need to replace the latches and it will cost about 900 bucks !! online and another mechanic have said this is a recalled issue and the latches freeze and they will replace free of charge and there is even and addendum to ad additional insulation to latches to prevent future freeze ups. I am going to try to call another dealership and corporate nisaan if I have too. Some one please help me with information on this saftey issue.

Can would not accelerate once I was at a stop. Would try and go and vehicle would go an estimated speed of 5mph this is extremely dangerous when trying to turn or pull into an intersection. Not knowing if my vehicle would go without issues or lose power and pull in front of a car going dangerously slow. This has happen about 10times and random days/times. This is a continuing problem.

The vehicle will suddenly lose acceleration for no reason. I brought this car for my granddaughter and she has almost gotten hit a couple of times because of this problem. I have read several complaints about this same issue. She was driving on the interstate and all of the sudden the speed dropped all the way down to thirty then to twenty. She had to pulled over onto shoulder and wait about ten minutes before she could proceed, it still would not go over forty even though she had the pedal floored. Since this is a problem with so many cars please make Nissan fix it.

I purchased my 2009 Nissan Rogue in December 2016 with 110K miles on it. In March 2017 I began noticing issues with my vehicle while on long trips. The first long trip I took was in March 2017 and about 150 miles into the trip my vehicle would not accelerate over 65-70mph which is very dangerous when the speed limit is 85mph. The issue did not resolve itself and I turned my vehicle off for several hours and did not have any problems after that. I have been working with the dealership I purchased it from to diagnose the problem and was told it was a cvt transmission problem. After further research I found that Nissan actually issued an extended warranty for this issue but did not issue a recall. My vehicle is outside of the extended warranty period but the exact issue I am having is the exact issue the warranty was extended for. I was unaware of any extended warranty when I purchased the vehicle because I did not purchase from a Nissan dealership. I have contacted Nissan Consumer Affairs and they have offered to fix the issue at 50% cost to me. I am not okay with paying 50% of a repair for a known defect on their cvt transmissions for my model year. Why wasn't a recall issued on this? this is dangerous. I was almost rear ended twice because my vehicle would not accelerate and I should be able to take my vehicle on long trips without worrying about transmission failure. There is an internal whistle in my transmission and I was told by the repair tech at Nissan that this is the first indication of the cvt issue. I will not be paying for this repair, a recall needs to be issued on this problem. There are many other Nissan consumers with the same issue and I will be joining a class action lawsuit on this matter as well.

After driving a long period time usually about 40 minutes into driving. Car does not accelerate actually loses power. Start to decelerate. This can cause and injury or maybe death when on the highway.

When driving the car would start shaking and making funny noises in the back. The car eventually would not accelerate and started smoking. Took it the dealer was informed it had a broken axle and also has coupler issue. I had the axle replaced. But it still shakes and makes noises when turns are made. I was informed by a Nissan mechanic this is a common problem in the Rogue.

I have a 2009 Nissan Rogue. I have had this vehicle since 2012 and it just came to my attention, while I was in park, in my driveway when my 6 yr old was asking my about what the letters next to the gear shifter meant when he grabbed the shifter, engaged the button and pulled it down into reverse without me applying the break. I thought to myself, it should not have done that. I thought maybe I had a recall on my vehicle that I might not have known about, so I looked it up and there was nothing for my vehicle. However for the 2015 models, some of them did have a recall for a rollaway problem. I called my dealer and asked them about my problem and they told me that because there was no recall on my vehicle there was nothing they could do about the problem unless I wanted to pay for a diagnostic and for them to find out what the problem was. I looked up this problem and it is around a $700 fix. If there was a recall on the 2015 models there could be a possiblitiy that my vehicle could have the same problem.

Outside latches failed simultaneously car was parked winter day 25 degrees F (car was stored outside all evening and driven). Passenger could not get out. I got out and went to unlock door and no luck, tried key and no luck. Went to drivers side door and could not get in. Had to enter the vehicle from the rear doors. Vehicle had history of this being replaced, but as a second used car owner was not told of problem and Nissan says because I was not considered a loyal customer and that the doors were no longer under warranty.

While driving on a highway using speed control at 70 mph my car suddenly kicked out of speed control and decelerated 20 mph. My car then refused to accelerate over 60 mph. The outside temperature was above 90 degrees and I had been driving for 5 and a half hours with 2 brief stops. No lights came on, and the car did not indicate it was overheating. I brought the car to my normal repair person and they informed me that it was my transmission. I brought the car to the Nissan dealership because it was still under warranty. They had a service bulletin that matched my exact issue and complaint. However, they could not reproduce the issue so I was not eligible for a new transmission. They told me it was the temperature of the fluid in my transmission and a new transmission would not solve that problem. They flushed my transmission and checked my fluid levels. They suggested if it happens again I purchase a part that is added to the transmission to cool down the transmission fluid at my own expense. They also stated that many other Rogues drivers have had this issue and suggested I contact Nissan.

I recentley took my car into the shop becuase my sunroof was off aligned but the guy pressed some button to try and reset it himself instead of sending it into the shop to have it inspected the right way. So I needed to travel out of town for an family emergency and while on the highway my sunroof exploded while riding on the highway. I feel like if he would have went about it the right way when I brought it in all of this would of have been avoided.

I was made check by a mechanic and he said is the drive shaft and U joint is completely covered is rust with the drive shaft and can broke in any moment and the I have to repair not only that other parts too like the transmission, directional and so on. I went to the Nissan dealer part service and the person who work there he said that part is very expensive and for the low of mileage shouldn't happened. Is very expensive to replace is a fault of Nissan on a bad parts that they install on my truck.

While driving a highway on 65 mph sudden loss of acceleration occurs. Pressing the acceleration pedal does not make any effect on a car speed. RPM falls to 1-2K and did not goes up. Was able to pull over and stop. After 15 minutes with the engine turned off, problem disappears. This happened for the third time, as a previously, it occurs after a long drive (more than 3 hours) or on a high speed (more than 75 mph). It is a safety concern when a car decelerated from 65 to 30 mph on a highway.
