My car will start, slowing down while i am driving. I called nissan on several things concerning this car. Nissan has not had a recall on their 2008-2010 rogue yet. 2008 is the 1st generation of this vehicle. I have had engine cradle problems, control arm problems. These car makers need to be held accountable for their product.

The nissan manufacturer is a joke, i dealt with a woman who literally…

Important: if you have a complaint about your transmission, acceleration problems or loss of power you need to also a complaint with the federal trade commission (ftc [redacted]) regarding your dealings with nissan. I just spoke with the ftc and they told me that while they don't respond to individual complaints if they see patterns they do. The only way we will get nissan to respond to us is by complaining about…

For the past few weeks, my gas gauge has been reading incorrectly and when i would go to fill out the vehicle, it would never show completely full. In some cases, i would turn on the vehicle and it would read sufficiently less than what was in the tank and then climb back up to what i assume was the correct level. My last fill up, the gauge read 3 bars left of fuel and i pumped 14.5 gallons of gas at the station…

The car will be at a complete stop and you will press on the gas pedal and it will not accelerate, you can floor the gas pedal, and it will have very little reaction. In addition, when this issue is happening all your lights stop working so the person behind you does not know you are not at a complete stop. This is not a consistent problem but you never now when it will happen - it's like the car goes into this…

Please help us have nissan do a recall on the engine. I have had my nissan rouge for about 4 years. I was driving my car from san francisco to los angeles. I was driving about 70 miles per hour when all of a sudden my vehicle started to reduce speed. This happened later in the night so there wasn't much traffic. If it was during rush hour i am pretty sure this would have caused an accident. Every time i would i…

In all incidents, i noticed that after having the cruise on for over an hour, all of a sudden the cruise would just "kick off". It would stop working. And my car would start to decelerate. Being on a main highway, traveling 73 mph with everyone around me going equally as fast, if not…

Once i depressed the gas, the car…
