2009 Nissan Rogue vehicle speed control problems

“I contacted Nissan July 2018 and was told there were no reports of the issue I was having... Unfortunately what I've experienced seems to be common. I occasionally work as a self employed artist and on long trips my Rogue will refuse to speed up. It doesn't matter how hard I press the gas pedal. It's like something isn't connecting. Nissan said they couldn't find any reports of this happening but I see many complaints. The suv refuses to go over 20mph, sometimes even lower. This issue has put my life at risk many times and I'm wondering what it will take for something to change!? It happened going uphill multiple times and seems to happen when traffic is at a stop and go. The only recall issue I saw had to do with snow and salt getting in somewhere. This seems to happen when it's warmer outside.”

“WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE UP HILLS OR DURING HOT DAYS, THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY IGNORE THE GAS PEDAL AND SLOW DOWN. THIS BECOMES TREACHEROUS ON LONG DRIVES THAT INVOLVE GOING OVER HILLS OR MOUNTAINS AS THEY CAR WILL SLOW TO UNDER 40MPH AND WILL NOT RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL. AFTER BRINGING MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY STATED THERE IS AN ECM RECALL. THEY CHANGED OUT THE PART, BUT THE ISSUE WHEN DRIVING STILL OCCURRED. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM (SEE NTB14-002), HOWEVER THE ISSUE IS NOT CONSIDERED A RECALL AND IS LABELED AS A CUSTOMER EXPENSE FOR THOSE OUTSIDE THE 60,000 MILE WARRANTY AND OPTIONAL UPGRADE. THIS IS A SERIOUS FLAW FOR ANY ROGUE OWNERS, AND IS A SAFETY RISK WHILE DRIVING. NISSAN SHOULD REPLACE THE FLAWED COOLING SYSTEMS AT THEIR EXPENSE, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE DEFECT WAS NOT DETECTED UNTIL 11/25/2015.”

“CAN WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ONCE I WAS AT A STOP. WOULD TRY AND GO AND VEHICLE WOULD GO AN ESTIMATED SPEED OF 5MPH THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO TURN OR PULL INTO AN INTERSECTION. NOT KNOWING IF MY VEHICLE WOULD GO WITHOUT ISSUES OR LOSE POWER AND PULL IN FRONT OF A CAR GOING DANGEROUSLY SLOW. THIS HAS HAPPEN ABOUT 10TIMES AND RANDOM DAYS/TIMES. THIS IS A CONTINUING PROBLEM.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC IN MAY OF 2017. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND SUGGESTED TAKING THE VEHICLE TO ONE OF THEIR FACILITIES FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 159,000.”

“CVT ENTERS LIMP MODE AFTER 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING 65+ MILES PER HOUR. I LOSE A LOT OF POWER WHEN THAT HAPPENS CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO BE UNABLE TO ACCELERATE OR GO OVER 3K RPMS.”

“WHILE TAKING A FAMILY TRIP IN JULY 2017 WEEKS AGO ON I95 DRIVING AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ONCE THE SPEEDOMETER HIT 65 TO 70. AT CERTAIN TIMES TRYING TO MOVE INTO ANOTHER LANE THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T ACCELERATE EVEN WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING IT ALSO STARTED TO DECELERATE. IT DISPLAYED THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN WHEN TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY THE FOLLOWING WEEK AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN TRYING TO MERGE OR MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT IS BEHIND YOU.”
