TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, OTHER DRIVER'S ALERTED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE BECAME ENGULFED IN FLAMES AND THE CONTACT HAD TO EXIT THE VEHICLE THROUGH A WINDOW. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. A POLICE REPORT AND A FIRE REPORT WERE FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V032000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,200.

VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY LOSE POWER, ESPECIALLY ON INCLINES OR IN HOT WEATHER. WHILE TRAVELING UP MOUNTAIN ROAD, VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND I WAS NEARLY REAR-ENDED AS OTHER VEHICLES COMING UP THE ROAD ROUNDED THE CORNER AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED. WHILE LEAVING THE PALM SPRINGS AREA, VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING IN HEAT EXCEEDING 95 DEGREES. AFTER EXITING FREEWAY, VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND CARS EXITING THE FREEWAY AT HIGHER RATES OF SPEED HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID MY VEHICLE. NISSAN HAS REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION ON THREE OCCASIONS AND EACH TIME THE PROBLEM HAS RECURRED. *TR

TWO MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THIS CAR AT CORAL SPRINGS NISSAN, FL. I WAS DRIVING TO MIAMI WHEN THE CAR LOOSE POWER FROM 70 MPH WENT TO 40 MPH THE CAR COULD NOT ACCELERATE ANYMORE IT WAS VERY SCARY. THIS PROBLEM ONLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU DRIVE FOR MORE THAN 1 HOUR. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY ONLY DID A TEST DRIVE FOR MAYBE 30 MINUTES. ONE YEAR AFTER THE INITIAL PROBLEM THE CAR LOOSE POWER QUITE OFTEN I ONLY NEED TO DRIVE LESS THAN 30 MINUTES, AND THE CAR CANNOT ACCELERATE IS LIKE IT GOES TO NEUTRAL WHEN I AM AT THE STOP SIGN, MAKING AN U-TURN, A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN. I AM AFRAID TO HAVE A CAR ACCIDENT. I AM VERY SURPRISE AFTER READING OTHERS COMPLAINTS THAT NISSAN HAS NOT TAKE ANY ACTION TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. *TR

DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE VEHICLE WOULD REFUSE TO ACCELERATE TO PASS A VEHICLE. HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES ON A 1 HOUR ROAD TRIP, CAUSING NEAR FATALITY AS CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE UP A HILL AND WHEN IN THE COURSE OF PASSING A DISABLEDVEHICLE, THE CAR WOULD NOT SPEED UP ENOUGH TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC SPEED IN ADJACENT LANE, CAUSING DRIVER BEHIND VEHICLE TO SLAM ON BRAKES TO AVOID COLLISION. THE VEHICLE REFUSED TO ACCELERATE THE REMAINDER OF THE TRIP (1 HOUR MORE) AND ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. *TR

THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED LAST SUMMER. WHILE GOING UP A HILL AT 75MPH (SPEED LIMIT IN THAT STATE), THE CRUISE CONTROL CUT OFF, AND VEHICLE LOST POWER, AND RPM'S WOULD NOT EXCEED 2500 RPM AND WOULD NOT GO OVER 60MPH, WHICH EVERY TIME I HIT A HILL, WOULD DECREASE TO 40MPH. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE NEXT TWO HOURS, WHERE RPM'S WOULD NOT EXCEED 2500 RPM, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN SEMI-TRUCKS ARE BEHIND YOU. A SEARCH ONLINE STATED THIS WAS THE TRANSMISSION GOING INTO FAIL-SAFE MODE, ALTHOUGH THE DEALERSHIP STATED NO, BECAUSE A CODE WOULD COME BACK. FOR ALMOST A YEAR, I WOULD NOT TAKE MY CAR OUT OF TOWN FOR WORK, FOR FEAR THIS WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. DECIDED TO TAKE IT ON A LONG ROAD TRIP THIS AUGUST, AND AGAIN, THE SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED. THIS TIME, THE ONLY WAY TO GET RPM'S AND MPH'S BACK, WAS TO PULL OVER AND LET THE CAR SIT FOR 20 MINUTES OR SO. IT WOULD THEN DRIVE NORMAL FOR ANYWHERE FROM 30 MIN-1 HOUR, BEFORE LOOSING POWER AGAIN. TOOK IT INTO DEALERSHIP UPON ARRIVING HOME, AND THIS TIME, THERE IS A BULLETIN FOR THE TRANSMISSION FLUID OVERHEATING, AND IT NEEDS A COOLER, TO THE TUNE OF $1,400 AND IS 2 MONTHS BACKORDERED. I WAS TOLD THIS PROBLEM WOULD ONLY OCCUR ON LONG ROAD TRIPS, AND I WOULD BE FINE TAKING IT ON A 5 HR TRIP THAT WEEKEND. COME 3 DAYS LATER, 45 MINUTES INTO THE TRIP, THE CRUISE CONTROL CUT OFF, BEGAN BLINKING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND RPM'S DECREASED TO BTWN 2000-2500. PULLED OVER TO LET IT COOL, AND THEN IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 40MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. DECIDED TO TURN BACK AROUND, AND 3 TIMES ON THE WAY HOME (APPX. EVERY 15 MINUTES), I LOST ALL POWER. THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING, BUT THE RPM'S WOULD NOT GO OVER 0, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. HAD TO LET IT SIT FOR 15-20 MINUTES EACH TIME, AND THEN WAS ABLE TO DRIVE 15 MIN, BEFORE LOOSING ALL POWER AGAIN. TOOK IT INTO AUTO SHOP, AND CODE READS, "P1778", WHICH IS "STEP-MOTOR MALFUNCTION". *TR

I PURCHASED A CAR FROM GWINNETT PLACE NISSAN IN NOVEMBER 2013. IN MAY OF 2014 WHILE DRIVING MY CHILDREN TO DISNEY THE CAR STARTED TO DECREASE IN SPEED. I WAS DRIVING AT 75 MPH AND WITHOUT WARNING THE CAR STARTED DECREASING IN SPEED. MY CAR WENT FROM 75 TO 40 IN A MATTER OF MINUTES. ALTHOUGH I HAD THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, IT WOULDN'T PICK UP ANY SPEED. THANK GOD THERE WASN'T ANY ACCIDENT. I'VE SPOKEN TO NISSAN ABOUT THIS MANY TIMES AND NO ONE SEEMS TO BE HANDLING THIS PROBLEM. WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR NISSAN TO RECOGNIZE AND FIX THIS ISSUE. A FATAL ACCIDENT? *TR

AFTER DRIVING 45 MINUTES ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, I EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND PULLED INTO A STATE HIGHWAY TO CONTINUE MY TRIP. AFTER PROCEEDING FROM THE STOP SIGN AT THE OFF RAMP, I WAS NEARLY IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY. I PLACED THE ACCELERATION PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO ANY FASTER TO CLEAR THE INTERSECTION. ONCOMING TRAFFIC HAD TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES I. ORDER TO AVOID A COLLISION. IT IS NOT SAFE TO HAVE A VEHICLE DOING THAT. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL OTHER TIMES. *TR

I STARTED MY ROGUE AND LEFT A DRIVEWAY AS I APPROACHED A STOP SIGN ABOUT 2 MILES AHEAD THE CAR STALLED. I WAS STILL IN GEAR, THE ENGINE WAS OFF, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. AFTER STOPPING I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AFTER A FEW TRIES. THEN, FOR THE NEXT 2-4 MILES IT REVVED REALLY HIGH AND SEEM TO BE IN A RECOVER MODE AND WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO GO OVER 40 MPH. THE SERVICE CENTER CAN'T REPLICATE AND CLAIMS THAT THE OIL WAS OVERFILLED. THERE WERE SOME CODES BUT THEY DIDN'T FEEL THOSE APPLIES TO THE INCIDENT THEREFORE THIS ISSUE ISN'T WARRANTED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN FOR MYSELF, MY FAMILY, AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD THAT NISSAN REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE OR REMEDY. THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 85 FROM GREENSBORO NC TO THOMASVILLE NC - MY CAR HAD NO ACCELERATION POWER WHEN TRYING TO CHANGE LANES. THIS HAD BEEN AN INCREASING PROBLEM AND I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP ON 12/1/10 AND THEY REPLACED THE CVT. SAME PROBLEMS OCCURRED, ESPECIALLY WHEN I DROVE MY CAR ON 3 HOUR TRIPS OR LONGER (EXAMPLE: ON A TRIP FROM GREENSBORO NC TO BRISTOL TN - TRAVELING UP/DOWN THE MOUNTAIN ON 77 & 81 - NO ACCELERATION). TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AGAIN BY CROWN NISSAN OF GREENSBORO (UNDER WARRANTY) ON 5/17/2012 AND 3/21/2014. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR! *TR
