Labor day last year, we were driving down an old rural road, just got done passing a car and then our rogue sounded like it revving the engine, then next thing we know it died at 65 mph with only 102,000 miles on it. $1000 engine later we fixed it. Now, last week on my way to work, trying to get up to 60 mph on highway and it revs up to 4 grand and will not shift. We limp it home. Thought needed tranny fluid so we…

I purchased a used 2012 nissan rogue in good faith from anderson chevrolet. It was as is, so there was no warranty. However, the car appeared to be in good shape. However, there is a very common problem with these cars involving the cvt transmission where they fail. In spite of this being a very common problem, there has been no recall, no reprogramming, no nothing and the very expensive repair falls to the…

The vehicle was being driven on the highway and the acceleration completely dropped. The car would not go over 20 mph! There was a recall up to 2010 nissan rogue for the cvt transmission but doesn't cover 2012. The error was torque converter clutch solenoid circuit intermittent. The nissan dealership said they don't replace that part and it needs a whole new transmission for $5000. I find it hard to believe other…

Frontal impact caused airbags to deploy except the passenger front (no passenger) and the passenger rear side (passenger present) . Nissan claims no deployment of side airbag is because no direct "t-bone" impact on passenger side of vehicle was sensed. Nissan also claims that the driver side airbag did properly because it sensed a potential rollover situation. Nissan was moving on city street and hit (t-boned) a…

At 49,935 miles, the transfer case and drive shaft (while driving) leaked and needed to be replaced at a cost of $1,514 + car rental for 2 days. The engine and power train are covered by nissan's warrantee only until 5 year,50,000 miles. As i would believe that this is a nissan design and manufacturing problem, and that other 2012 nissan rogue are having similar problems, i would very much appreciate if the nhtsa…

When driving this vehicle long distances it will lose power without notice. When driving acceleration will go down to 0 mph. If you put the gas pedal on the floor it will still not accelerate. This car can not be driven long distances, as it has placed my family in danger numerous times. I have had to pull over on the side of the road and allow the car to sit. Many times this has occurred on busy highways. There is…

The car was brought…
