2011 Nissan Rogue

The CVT transmission started to fail. 1 day it started jerking some. 2 or 3 times. The next time was more jerking and harder. The last day the jerking was longer in length of time. Then the transmission became a little louder. The jerking was constant with acceleration. We made it home and parked the car. I did not see a code, the engine light only came on after three condition became questionable as to returning home. No dealer or mechanic has inspected the car. I'm positive it is the transmission from all i read on the internet.

Subject: Urgent Safety Issue: Car Doors Locking While in Park and Running Date: [XXX] To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to report a serious safety concern I experienced today with my vehicle. While my car was parked in my driveway and running, the doors automatically locked, locking me out of the vehicle. There is no auto-lock button enabled in the car or on my remote, and due to a previously replaced battery, the key fob no longer functions properly—I must manually insert the key into the ignition. This is extremely concerning because the vehicle should not automatically lock while it is running and in park. Had I not had a spare key available, I would have been completely locked out of my running vehicle. This is a manufacturer safety issue that needs to be addressed immediately. I cannot risk being locked out of my car in a different location or under more critical circumstances. I am requesting a thorough inspection and resolution of this malfunction to ensure it does not happen again. Please advise on the next steps to get this fixed as soon as possible. Sincerely, [XXX] [XXX] Nissan, Rogue, 2011 [VIN [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

On interstate, the vehicle felt like it had a "float" feel and occasional shimmy while driving. Upon parking in town, stranger identified vehicle's driver-side rear wheel was not straight. Observation showed ground-contacting point of tire was angled outward from car. Diagnosis by both Nissan dealership and subsequent independent mechanic was extreme rust of undercarriage causing upper control arm to rust through and rot of the underside of car to the point of being "not salvageable" and non-fixable. This meant the rear wheel was wobbling while driving on the interstate and could have completely let go. This vehicle has been consistently maintained as a daily-driver and at only 59k miles, it was mentioned several times that the level of rust was extraordinary.

I am the 2nd owner of a 2011 Nissan Rogue purchased in 2016. I have had four problems with the vehicle, the major one being the transmission that will not cool and overheats as soon as the temperature goes up. With the most recent heat wave, I have experienced no power going to the wheels. I had no power steering and had to push my car off the road with a friend with in the car. I also experienced a short in the system where it had no power at all and seemed to have no battery power, it clearly is an electrical short. The fourth issue is the passenger seat airbag. I have never received any notice from Nissan about any of these issues since I purchased the car used in 2016. When I called today, I was told that there were no recalls on my car and hung up on by Nissan America. I clearly saw four recalls that had been issued over the years on all four of these issues. I drive for the elderly, homeless, homebound and other persons in need in my community and have done so since I was 14 years old. I am a good citizen and have gone out of my way to try to make things right and just for all people. I am appalled at the conduct and behavior that I received on the phone today. I understand that my car is older but I would have returned my car for service if I had received a recall of which I received none. I know for fact that the recall for the transmission came out in 2016 and should have covered my car. I cannot take care of the people and continue with what I do in my community without a working car. I cannot afford a new car and surely do not deserve such disrespect.

With no clear reason the passenger seat airbag system became defective. It did not detect passenger and always stays off. Took it to a certified Nissan dealer and they said it is a common issue, and the only fix is to reset it electrically or pay 2,500 for a new passenger seat. I opted to reset it electrically which cost $150 and was a temporary fix as the system resumed being defective after a few days. The defect is very dangerous as is disables the passenger airbag completely and will not deploy in the event of an accident which can be deadly.

I'm reporting the same as many others so that I have documentation. Last week while my daughter was driving back to college (about 170 miles), about halfway the vehicle began to slow down. As she pressed the accelerator, the engine would rev but the car would not accelerate. This was extremely scary as she was travelling on the expressway and there was a semi-truck directly behind her when this happened. A major accident could have happened. She ultimately made it to school taking about an hour longer than normal. She should have pulled over, but it was getting dark, and she was travelling alone. After she called and explained to me what happened, I researched the issue and found that this seems too very common relating to the trans fluid over-heating. The fix requires a cooler to added to the system to cool the fluid. Having personally worked on many cars including changing transmissions, this is not a quick cheap repair. Again, I'm thankful she wasn't rear ended. Nissan needs to address this known issue and compensate those impacted by this. I pray no one gets seriously injured.

My most recent repair the technician stated the cruise control spring needed replaced and could be the issues with sudden power loss . I have had the O2 sensor replaced, catalytic converters replaced, starter, alternator and MAS with the problem returning within 3 months .

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Code: B1018, OCS Sensor failure in passenger seat which controls the passenger airbags. Passenger side airbag light kicks on thinking there is a "child" or something light in the front seat which disables the airbag. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Passenger side airbag light kicks on thinking there is a "child" or something light in the front seat which disables the airbag. This is a known issue of the manufacturer but yet the refuse to include other years of these vehicles in their recall. There even has been a lawsuit on their "fix" because they just continue to use the same sensors even when replacing the recalled vehicles sensors. They also expect you to pay 2700 to replace an ENTIRE seat cushion to replace said sensor. I am sorry but poor people do not have that kind of money laying around. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes was reproduced and confirmed by a local Nissan Deal. They even cleared the code and within 2 weeks it appeared again in the same way/format. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Air bag warning light and the passenger side airbag light kicks on thinking there is a "child" or something light in the front seat which disables the airbag.

The CVT transmission would over heat numerous times in uphill drive after 30 miles driving. The overheating would result in sudden slowing of vehicle and loss of acceleration even when acceleration pedal is fully pressed. It puts vehicle to danger because it can be in front of fast moving vehicle. It also makes exiting a freeway and stopping merging into traffic dangerous because vehicle stops responding to driver commands.

My son was driving our 2011 Nissan Rogue that only has 58K miles on it. At first you could just feel a difference in the accelerator pedal and the transmission shifted gears. The car was shaking bad at 45 miles per hour when the car was warm. The gears started making noise during certain shifts in the transmission and sounded like driving over a rumble strip in the road, then would vibrate the same at about 55 miles per hour. The noise changed so when the car switches gears the noises would change in pitch. When it drives the noise is loud and you can feel it rock when the transmission is switching gears. You have to grip the steering wheel. If you consistently drive the noise and shaking would get worse and would make squeaking sound. When breaking the car rocks and hesitates as it downshifts. We first took the car to pep boys and they changed the front axle. They did a thorough check under the vehicle and everything look like normal wear and tear. There were no leaks. The car moved somewhat smoother drive wise, but there consistent mechanical problems were still the same. We took the car back to pep boys for the same issues and we replaced all the tires, brakes, checked wheel bearings, they did another thorough check and the transmission fluid was fine and there were no leaks. They did finally do a good test drive to and recommended a full replacement of the transmission. We then took the car to Nissan for another opinion and they said it was the transmission and that we had problems with the axles, even though we just had the axles replaced. Nissan ran full diagnostics and there are no codes or an engine light and the computer was good. We definitely don’t think these are normal problems. 1. The car only has 60K miles and has regular upkeep and maintenance. 2. It is definitely a safety hazard with the shaking and rocking and feeling like it won’t break in time. At this point it even does it at low speeds. It is not safe!

Just bought my 2011 Nissan Rogue today and drove around off and on all day with no issues. I went to my son's house for approximately 5 minutes (left car running) and when I went to leave I had no acceleration. I tried pushing on the gas pedal with no luck. It literally coasted about a block before it finally stopped moving. I made a few phone calls and was told to shut the car off for about 5 minutes (which I did) and then turn it back on (which I did) and I put it in drive and it was all of a sudden fine. I feel as if there has been more than enough complaints regarding this issue with the 2011 Nissan Rogue and nhtsa should address this matter with Nissan who should be held accountable for this. I personally bought the vehicle based on all the good things I was told about it but now, not even 24 hours after buying it, I am regretting my decision. I should have stuck with my kia soul (she never let me down)!! I feel this is a HUGE safety issue

I own a 2011 Nissan Rouge, it has 110k miles in it. We’ve taken care of it since we purchased it in 2015, prompt maintenance (with all receipts) new tires etc. As soon as the car hit 100k miles it started acting “funny”. It would jerk when we drove it, when we reversed it would make a weird noise as well. Took it to auto body shop every time and they couldn’t find anything wrong with it, no error lights on the dashboard either. It only got worse from there, when the second I would stop at a red light the car would turn off, all the dashboard lights on so I would have to turn the key as if I was turning it off and put it on park then turn it back on and turn it on Drive to go. There were a few times that cars came close to hitting me because I was idled at a green light. Then last week on Saturday July 10th, I was coming back home, stopped at a red light, as the light turns green I pushed on the gas pedal, the car wouldn’t move one bit but engine was on. I pulled over to see what was going on, the car wouldn’t drive anymore. Called a tow truck and had it towed to my House as the auto shops were not taking any more appts. On Monday I had it towed and the shop tells me it’s the transmission and quoted me over $4,000. I called Nissan North America after researching that this is a known issue for Rouges and Nissan has been notified by multiple consumers. I was hopeful that they would help me out but waited for the Supervisor to call me back and called me end of day and with non apologetic tells me Nissan can’t do anything about it, that I can take it to a dealership and pay out of pocket because warranty is expired. I explained they have a lot of cases opened because they’re selling cars with bad transmissions and he just asks “is there anything else I can do for sure” totally brushing me off. Buyer beware! Do not buy Rouges. My coworker had a 2012 Nissan Rouge and same issue as soon as it hit 100k miles. My neighbor has a new Rouge and has had issues with transmission

Also, when exiting a freeway and stopping merging into traffic was dangerous on numerous occasions due to now coming from the transmission. The Nissan CVT has been recalled, been subject to numerous lawsuits. In fact Nissan has extended the warranty on the Rogue transmission up to the year 2010 and from 2012 but has continuously ignored the 2011 Rogue. I just recently had to have the transmission rebuilt on my 2011 Rogue. If I had known about this earlier I could have taken preventative measures.

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, THE CAR CAUGHT FIRE UNDER THE HOOD NEAR THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT. THE HEADLIGHT WAS REPLACED THE DAY BEFORE THE INCIDENT. THE HEADLIGHT WORKED WHEN INSTALLED BUT WAS NOT WORKING BY THE NEXT EVENING. THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHTS HAVE NEEDED REPLACING MORE OFTEN THAN THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT (A 3:1 RATIO OR A 4:1 RATIO). THAT RATIO MAY INDICATE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. HEADLIGHT BULB WAS A NAPA BP1255/H11LL-N. OUR CAR TOOK AN H11 BULB. THE LL STANDS FOR LONG LIFE.

NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011 ROGUE VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM AUGUST 17, 2010, THROUGH OCTOBER 30, 2010. THE CIRCUIT BOARD MAY NOT HAVE BEEN INSTALLED IN THE CORRECT POSITION ON CERTAIN ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) ASSIST CONTROL UNITS. THIS MAY CAUSE ADDITIONAL STRESS ON THE SOLDER OF THE TERMINAL TO THE CIRCUIT BOARD RESULTING IN THE SOLDER CRACKING AND SEPARATING COMPLETELY FROM THE CIRCUIT BOARD.

Risk: AS THE CIRCUIT BOARD FAILS, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FEATURE WILL STOP FUNCTIONING, INCREASING THE FORCE NEEDED TO STEER THE VEHICLE AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy: NISSAN WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE EPS CONTROL UNIT IF NECESSARY, FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING DECEMBER 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2008-2013 Nissan Rogue vehicles manufactured March 7, 2007, to November 26, 2013, and 2014 Nissan Rogue Select vehicles manufactured September 23, 2013, to July 2, 2014. The affected vehicles may experience an electrical short in the harness connector due to a mixture of snow/water and salt seeping through the carpet on the driver side floor near the harness connector.

Risk: An electrical short can cause a vehicle fire.

Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the kick panel wiring harness connector and will if necessary install a new harness connector and waterproof seal, free of charge. The recall began on February 26, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.
