Front engine cradle subframe crossmember bushing kits have issues due to which I am getting constant sound from the engine. This seems to be a regular complaint with my kind of vehicle. Which is Nissan rougher 2009 sl.
The contact owns a 2009 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while driving, the engine warning light would remain illuminated. The vehicle was taken to Nissan of St. Albans dealer, located at 4 franklin park w, St albans city, vt 05478, (888) 719-6390, where it was diagnosed that the emission control system failed and the canister needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that there was no recalls associated with the VIN and provided an unknown case number. The approximate failure mileage was 106,000.
Issue when driving at first for long periods. The car will start to slow down. Can't or won't accelerate. I call about this issue 2 years ago and I was dismissed. But I see there's a class action lawsuit in other states, describing the same issue with different Nissan models. The cvt... I would think if theres an issue Nissan, being as big as they are would address it. But it looks like all you companies like to to is shove us under the rug. I like my car and it's not fair that I'd have to go to such length to have this addressed. I've had maintenance done which is costly and still no tix...

While driving the vehicle up hills or during hot days, the vehicle will suddenly ignore the gas pedal and slow down. This becomes treacherous on long drives that involve going over hills or mountains as they car will slow to under 40mph and will not respond to the gas pedal. After bringing my vehicle to the dealership, they stated there is an ECM recall. They changed out the part, but the issue when driving still occurred. Nissan is aware of the problem (see ntb14-002), however the issue is not considered a recall and is labeled as a customer expense for those outside the 60,000 mile warranty and optional upgrade. This is a serious flaw for any Rogue owners, and is a safety risk while driving. Nissan should replace the flawed cooling systems at their expense, especially since the defect was not detected until 11/25/2015.
Got the SUV in May 2017 used and this year 2018 it did not pass N.Y. state inspection PO448- evaporative emission sytem vent contral circuit shorted #P0455 evaporative emission system leak detected large leak. Resulits - fail. Note how did this pass last year ? it has 59,841 mileage.
While taking a family trip in July 2017 weeks ago on I95 driving after about an hour, the vehicle would not accelerate once the speedometer hit 65 to 70. At certain times trying to move into another lane the vehicle wouldn't accelerate even when pressing the gas pedal to the floor and at times while driving it also started to decelerate. It displayed the same problem again when traveling on the highway the following week after about an hour. Extremely dangerous especially when trying to merge or move out of the way of another vehicle that is behind you.
I have had my car for four years now, and early this last year, my engine light came on, had it checked out, and they stated I had a leak near my gas cap, so they advised me to purchase a new gas cap, because the suction was go on the old one, I did that, and the next day, I though came back on, I went back to them, and they stated that the way that the leak is, overtime I got gas, I would need to push in the cap and that should seal it. Needless to say that didn't work, it been months later and I have had four different parts related on the vehicle that did not need replacing and my light is still on! they can't figure out what is cause it to come on. The other issue is that my car will not accelerate up hills, I have to have the RPM's on 4 or 5 just to get the car up the hill, and then going down the hill, I car sound like something is wrong. I was told nothing is wrong with it, but I know there is something wrong, it should not sound like that. The next issue that I a having is that my ac compressor is shot. I have been trying to get it replaced all summer now, and for some reason, my car will not accept any of the new ones, I have had about three new ones, I have no clue what to do next. I am moving to Georgia in a few weeks, and I am going to need ac!
The car will not go over 40 miles per hour on mountain passes. It is very scary when sharing a 2 lane highway with trucks. It overheats and you are stuck. I am not the only one with a 2009 Rogue having this issue. It needs to be recalled and repaired by Nissan not by the consumer.
My Nissan Rogue will periodically stop acceleration while I am driving on the highway. I have the pedal pushed all the way down and the car will not accelerate. I will be going the posted speed and for no apparent reason, my car will start to de-accelerating on its own. After reading several complaints I am finding out that this is due to the cvt transmission in this particular model. This is a safety hazard to anyone who is driving this car. Also, I have noticed a loud noise when I put the car in gear, which I am reading is a sign that the transmission is going out. I purchased an extended warranty on this vehicle but none of the repairs that I have listed are covered. This car is a piece of junk and I will not get anything for it upon trade-in. I am stuck with this car, and have put over $3,000 in this car already over the last 6 months.
The contact owns a 2009 Nissan rouge. While driving approximately 60 mph, the RPM gauge fluctuated without warning, causing the vehicle to accelerate and decelerate independently. The failure recurred three times. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic twice, but the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was later taken to a dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The VIN was invalid. The failure mileage was approximately 87,000.
This is a safety issue! - over the past few years, I filed a complaint to the NHTSA and made numerous complaints to the dealer service center about this ongoing problem with the cvt. I commute everyday on the NJ turnpike. I have to make stops 'to let the engine/cvt cool off' both going and coming home from work because the car will not accelerate. I barely get over to the shoulder in high speed traffic. Sometimes if there isn't an immediate shoulder, I have to go at a speed of 5-10 mph in high speed turnpike traffic of 60-80 mph to finally get to a shoulder. I already replaced one cvt in this car. This problem has been going on since 2009 when I purchased this car. Now I see in 2014 Nissan came up with a 'fix' to replace/install a cooler kit and a trans oil cooler. The two kits cost about $860 without installation. Why is this cost passed on to us the consumers" this is a problem with the Nissan cvt design. Nissan should make good on their promise to the customer and recall the vehicles with this cvt issue to replace/install the needed parts without making us pay for their defective vehicle design. Oh and I I said earlier, I have been complaining to the dealer service center for years including 2014 and none of the service techs ever mentioned the cooler kit fixes to me. Their response was that they could not duplicate the problem I was having with the car. I will never buy another Nissan and I tell everyone I know about these cvt issues. There are at least 100+ complaints on this site about the cvt. What will it take to get a recall? why do the consumers have to pay for Nissan's faulty cvt design"

The contact owns a 2009 Nissan Rogue. While driving at various speeds, the vehicle made an abnormal rumbling noise. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the tires may be the cause of the failure. The tires were rotated, but the rumbling noise was still present. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic for a second opinion where it was diagnosed by the technician that the tires were not the issue; however, 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. The failure recurred. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who stated that the dealer never performed the repairs. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was 68,000.

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.
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.
My transmission got stuck in 1st gear when pulling out onto a busy road, causing me to have pull over and almost getting hit by other vehicles, when I took it to my mechanic and then a licensed Nissan dealership I was informed it was the transmission and furthermore informed that on the Consumer Affairs Nissan website it states they have had many problems with this transmission and doubled the warranty from 60,000 miles to 120,000 miles due to this defective transmission, on not just my model and year but over 8 years and 3 different models of Nissan however because I was 5000 miles over the warranty they would not help me pay for the $3586 I had to pay to make the vehicle driveable and secondly what if this transmission would have gotten stuck or went out on a hwy where I was doing 65 mph Nissan should also be responsible for the cost for getting this defective product fixed I call them several times at Consumer Affairs and they will not assist me at all because I am 5000 miles over the warranty the public needs to know how terrible of a company this is and how dangerous this could be for others who own these vehicles.
