2015 Nissan Rogue Speed Control & Cruise Problems

I first started noticing this transmission acceleration problem about a year ago when my vehicle has been in stop-and-go traffic for at least 30 minutes or more, the transmission feels like it is going to stall. Pressing on the gas won’t accelerate the vehicle or it is very slow to start moving no matter how hard the gas pedal is pressed. The rpm speeds to 4-5 x1000 but the transmission gear feels stuck at 40mph max. Usually I have noticed that if I am able to pull over and stop the car for a few minutes, I can restart the car engine and didn’t’t see signs of the problem again. My husband believes it’s a transmission and gear shift problem that once the Rogue has been in stop-and-go traffic the system isn’t shifting gears correctly. It put myself and my husband at risk since we took the vehicle on a road trip, my husband finally witnessed this happening. It usually only happened to me when I’m coming home sitting in traffic. When I got off the freeway to surface streets, being stuck at stoplights or stop signs had this issue occur a couple of times. I took my vehicle to my local Nissan dealer for inspection but the tech. said they couldn’t mimic/reproduce the problem/issue I was reporting. No other inspection has been made. And no warning lights came on during the problem the few times it has happened. The engine was really loud this most recent time because I was unable to stop and pullover right away. I am open to having my vehicle inspected further for this issue.

Issue occurs when driving around a 30 minute plus commute. When driving at an incline the vehicle fails to accelerate and reduces speeds rapidly changing from 65 mph to 40 mph. Rather scary to have cars flying by with lost of acceleration. There has been 3 incidents of this occurring.No accident occurred was able to pull over each time due to driving in the slow lane.

WITHOUT PRESSING THE BRAKE MY CAR'S SHIFTER WILL GO INTO LOW GEAR OR ANOTHER LEVEL. THIS HAS CAUSED MY CAR TO STALL OUT, AND A DEAD BATTERY. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I AM DRIVING ONLY.

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.

FAILS TO ACCELERATE ON LONG TRIPS, JUST COMPLETELY STOPS ACCELERATING UNLESS VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND ALLOWED TO COOL OFF FOR 10-15 MINUTES

TAKATA RECALL, I WAS DRIVING BACK FROM DENVER GOING WEST IN I70. TRIED TO GO OVER EISENHOWER PASS AND MY CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS STUCK GOING UPHILL. IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 45MPH EVEN IF I STEPPED ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL. AFTER DRIVING OVER THE THE PASS, GOING DOWNHILL IT SEEMED TO HAVE RESOLVED. BUT NOW EVERYTIME I TRY TO DRIVE UPHILL, IT WILL NOT GO PAST 40-45MPH.

ON DECEMBER 10, 2016 MAY SON AND I WENT TO SUPERCUTS NEAR LOUIS HENNA BLVD AND IH35 NORTH AROUND 11:00 AM, WHEN I WENT TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPACES, I SLOWED DOWN FROM DRIVING ABOUT 10 MILES AN HOUR, TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR, APPLIED THE BRAKES TO PARK AND THE 2015 NISSAN ROGUE I WAS DRIVING DID NOT SLOW DOWN, IN FACT IT ACCELERATED AND THREW VEHICLE UP AGAINST A BRICK AND MORTER PILLAR. MEANWHILE I AM STILL TRYING TO STOP THE VEHICLE BY BRAKING AND VEHICLE IS IN PARK. VEHICLE AFTER ABOUT 2 MINUTES STOPS ACCELERATION AND I CANNOT GET VEHICLE OUT OF PARK, I KEPT TRYING TO GET VEHICLE OUT OF PARK TO REVERSE IT OFF OF THE CURB. FINALLY AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, I MOVE INTO REVERSE TO GET CAR OFF OF CURB. THE WHOLE FRONT END OF MY VEHICLE IS CRASHED. THERE ARE PIECES OF MY VEHICLE ON THE SIDEWALK IN FRONT OF ASIAN RESTAURANT. RESTAURANT EMPLOYEE WITNESSED THE WHOLE THING AND HE COMES OUT TO SEE IF WE ARE OKAY.I CHECKED TO SEE IF MY SON WICHAR CLEVELAND IS OKAY. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I CONTACTED ELEPHANT INSURANCE. I DON'T SEE ANY FLUIDS SO I DRIVE VEHICLE TO SERVICE KING, VERY SLOWLY, A FEW BLOCKS AWAY. I CALLED NISSAN ON MONDAY, THEY TOOK MY INFO SAID SOMEONE WOULD CONTACT ME. DEHENRY CALLED NEXT DAY, SAID NISSAN IS NOT LIABLE. I REQUESTED THEY LET ME TRADE VEHICLE FOR A NEW ONE, I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE THAT VEHICLE NOR SHOULD ANYONE ELSE DRIVE IT. I ALSO ASKED THEY PAY FOR CAR RENTAL, DEDUCTIBLES, TOWING OR ANY OF MY EXPENSES. NISSAN INFORMED ME THEY COULD NOT SEND AN INVESTIGATOR TO LOOK AT VEHICLE UNTIL JANUARY 5, 2017 WITH NO GUARANTEES THAT NISSAN WOULD BE LIABLE.I RESEARCHED THE VEHICLE ONLINE AND THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE TO SOMEONE ELSE YET NISSAN HAS NOT DONE A RECALL. I GUESS THEY WILL WHEN SOMEONE IS KILLED!

ALMOST 3 MONTHS INTO CAR WHILE DRIVING SPEED WAS LIKE WHEN THE CAR IS IN NEUTRAL(BUT ON DRIVE) & IF I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL NOTHING HAPPENED THEN IT TURNED OFF. I THOUGHT IT WAS A 1 TIME THING, THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN ALMOST 2 MONTHS AFTER, DEALER SAID WE CANT FIND THE PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES THEY COULD NEVER FIND THE ISSUE. THEN IT WOULDNT EVEN TURN ON MAKING A LOUD NOISE THEN SAYING KEY NOT DETECTED. THEN AFTER THIS TOWING COMPANY JUMP STARTED CAR, & AT THE DEALER IT HAPPENED TO THEM ONCE. THEY SAID THEY TESTED EVERYTHING BUT CAR WOULD SAY KEY NOT DETECTED. THEN AFTER WE TOLD THEM WE SUBMITTED EVERYTHING TO CORP[ORATE OFFICE THEY SAID IT WAS JUST THE BATTERY & IT DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT THE JUICE IN THE BATTERY WAS ALL DRAINED & SOMETHING ELSE HAD TO CAUSE THAT ESPECIALLY WHEN IT SAYS KEY NOT DETECTED. THAT THEY DON'T FEEL SAFE US TAKING CAR BACK UNTIL THEY CAN FIND ISSUE BUT LUIS AT NISSAN NORTH AMERICA SAID THAT IS NOT WHAT SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD THEM. THAT THEY CAN'T HELP US DOING A BUY OUT FOR THIS DEFECTIVE CAR BECAUSE TO THEM NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. THIS IS A VERY HAZARDOUS AND UNSAFE MATTER AND THE LAST TIME IT TURNED OFF ON ME I WAS IN THE HIGHWAY I45 HAD TO SLOWLY LET IT GO TO THE SIDE ROAD UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO TURN BACK ON. AT THE MOMENT IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE ONLY PERSON TRYING TO HELP & SEEM CONCERN IS DOUG AT SERVICE DEPT.
