Three times now the car has shut down entirely while driving in traffic. Engine stops running, all lights and power are off, power steering and power brakes are lost. It creates an incredibly dangerous scenario. Car will restart almost immediately but you have to roll to a stop with no power brakes or steering, as I said it's incredibly dangerous. Happens mid-drive, with car in motion, including an instance going 70 mph on a busy interstate. Has occurred three times over the last two months.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Rogue. While driving 45 mph, the vehicle was involved in a crash and the entire front driver's side was damaged. The contact was injured and was rushed to the hospital for medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to the contact's home and then towed billy navarre Nissan (1700 siebarth dr, lake charles, la 70615, (337) 439-9955) where it was repaired three months later. Since the crash, the vehicle had been back to the dealer at least ten times. The tcm in the engine, an etrc sensor in the engine, the belt pulley, the transmission, the body control module, and the tpmf were replaced. All of the failures originated from the engine. The continuously variable transmission was replaced and recalibrated, there was a loose pin in the power relay box, and two sensors had to be changed, including the 02 sensor. In addition, the gears did not shift fluidly and the transbody sensor needed to be changed. The most recent failure was the vehicle sputtering and the transmission straining to change gears. By the time the contact pulled into her neighborhood, the vehicle had no acceleration and the check engine indicator illuminated. The contact planned to have the vehicle towed back to the dealer. The contact believed the vehicle was not in driving condition since the crash. The failure mileage was 49,000.

My mechanic discovered a leak in the rear main seal while performing regular service. I made an appt with Nissan to inspect it on 10/5/19. They told me it looked like a "build up of oil from when the car was manufactured and they cleaned it" my mechanic tells me that is probably not true because it was dripping when he discovered it. We will be watching it carefully, but there are a lot of Nissan autos having these leaks and also serious transmission trouble.

Driving on interstate at approx.70 mph, and cruise control kicked off by itself at least 3 times. Then all of a sudden I lost power, it was not like a out of gas loss, it just slowed down. I had the gas pedal floored to maintain speed as I was traveling at 70mph in heavy traffic on interstate. I moved to the outside lane to avoid any chance of an accident and took the next exit to turn around and go back home. When I got onto the entrance ramp back to the interstate, it took me about 1/2 mile at least to get up to speed again. Since I got back home everything appears normal but I am afraid to travel any distance in case I should loose power again I have had the vehicle put on the computer monitor and they say nothing is showing as wrong. During this exam I was told that if the engine warning light never came on the computer check would not show anything. At no time during the power outage did the engine warning light or any warning device show up.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Rogue. While driving approximately 55 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning and was unable to be restarted. Once restarted, the vehicle was shifted into reverse and the vehicle stalled again. Additionally, while the vehicle was idling at traffic lights, the rpms would idle at a low rate with the vehicle almost at the point of stalling. The vehicle also hesitated when accelerating from a stop. The vehicle was towed to Nissan of stockton (located at 3077 E hammer ln, stockton, ca 95212, (209) 956-6500) to be diagnosed, but the mechanic was unable to retrieve a fault code or duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure occurred six times daily. The manufacturer was contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 27,000.

Vehicle sputters then stalls, chassis control light comes on. Vehicle will restart and immediately stall again. Extreme safety hazard as this occurs with no warning and for no apparent reason. This has happened on multiple occasions, today it happened on the freeeay in a snow storm and I was unable to get to the side of the road due to speeds. Replaced maf sensor with no luck. Seems to be a very common safety issue not being addressed by Nissan.

Bought car from win motors today; took to mechanic next door..said it was okay; when asked for receipt for testing mechanic said he did not do that. Car drove fine until I got home and when I moved from street into driveway, I heard grinding noise on brakes, but more importantly, when shifting gears a loud sound of straining; paid cash for used car. Really hope I can resolve with 2 day return.

Many complaints. First when car is stationary and engine first starts I hear loud banging or clattering noise. Seems worse when ac is on and goes away in a few mins. Also when at a light or stop sign looks like car is going to stall which can be very dangerous. Both issues started at the same time so may be related. Also antenna for radio nut working was told by mechanic msmufacturer issue. Read on line many peop, E expressing frustration either Nissan on same issues. Will go Toyota for next car.

I purchased a 2015 Nissan Rogue about a year ago and I had no problems up until a month ago. I experienced the transmission jerking, shaking and shuddering during normal operation. I would lose acceleration upon completing a stop signal or at the change of a green light. I also noticed fluids leaking. Upon taking it to the Nissan dealership, I was told it needed a cvt body replacement. Because Nissan extended their warranty on some of their vehicles with cvt transmissions, my vehicle qualified between the year/mileage given. However, Nissan chose not to fix it, that it was not one of the vehicles specified. Then why am I having these same issues as the other vehicles? my vehicle was purchase a little over a year and has 72K miles. I've never had any problems with this vehicle other than now with it's poor performance, shaking and no power acceleration. I fear for my life every day when I drive my vehicle. I should not have to feel this way but rather safe knowing I am driving a reliable, safe vehicle.

Respected officer, driver's side seat belt chime not working if seat belt is not latched - I am noticing happening for about 1 year. Engine is making lot of vibration and sound when idle - this is happening shortly soon after I bought this car 08/2015. There is a moving object detection system which sometimes work and sometimes does not work - I am noticing this for about the last 4 months. Below I put a date of 10/1/2015 reflecting the engine problem. Thanks

Rogue

  • 31,500 miles
My Nissan Rogue is 2 years old with 31,500 miles. I was accelerating onto the highway on rt 2, near exit 59 in Massachusetts on Tuesday 3/20, and the engine in the car turned off while accelerating, going about 55 mph. I was able to pull over to the shoulder safely. I tried multiple times to restart the car, but the engine was completely dead. I had the car towed to marlboro Nissan, where I purchased the car. They confirmed that the car still would not start when it arrived at the dealership. The next day, it started and they could not replicate the issue. They want me to take the car home with no explanation and no fix. I feel completely unsafe getting back behind the wheel of a car where an engine just turns off for no reason. I am told by Nissan corporate Consumer Affairs that they will not be able to help if they can't replicate the issue a second time. This is dangerous, and I am at a loss with what to do next. Getting back in that car on a highway puts not only myself, but other drivers around me at risk for a fatal accident.

I was driving in snowy conditions and vehicle began baulking as if it was going to stall. A chassis system control warning displayed on th dash. I contacted the dealership and they advised it was due to the slippery road conditions. They advised to turn the vehicle off and back on and the warning would disappear/reset. I did this and the warning was removed however, brief moments of random "baulking" continued. A few days later I was travelling on a multi lane highway in a snow storm. The vehicle began to severely "baulk" and then the vehicle stalled completely. I was traveling very slowly due to the road conditions and the stall was so sudden, there was not enough momentum to get pulled over to the side of the road. I tried to restart the vehicle. It would start for 2-3 seconds and stall again. I was stranded, with my children, partially in a live lane of traffic, on a busy highway, in a snow storm. I kept trying to restart the vehicle and after approximately 20min it started again. I was able to drive about 5 -10km before the vehicle stalled again. I wanted to report this issue as I found a recall for 2014 and older Nissan Rogue for the same issue that was identified as a fuel pump issue. Nissan reported the issue had been corrected formrogue's manufactured after June 2014. My vehicle was manufactured Feb 2015. This is not only a recall issue, it is a serious occupant safety concern.
