Passenger airbag sensor blinks due to a malfunction. Cost to fix is $3K due to having to replace the passenger seat where the sensor is, which is half the value of the vehicle. This has been blinking for the past year and is extremely distracting and dangerous while driving. Not sure if this means that the passenger airbag will not deploy, which is *extremely* dangerous. Additionally, when traveling, the vehicle often loses acceleration, even with the gas pedal all the way down. It becomes extremely difficult and dangerous to stop or turn. The steering wheel loses power steering, and the brakes do not engage quickly at all.

When driving uphill the damaged torque converter caused the transmission to badly overheat, only allowing the car to go 40 mph. The torque coverter transmission issues caused the vehicle to become a hazard on the road because of the slow speed.

As I was driving the vehicle (2011 Nissan Rogue) cut off as I was slowing down. The vehicle began jerking as I was driving. All the lights on the dashboard came on and the vehicle shut off at a stop light. During another incident the vehicle stalled while going down a rode with a small hill. Then stalled on the highway off ramp. Luckily, we had a shoulder area to pull off. After sitting in the vehicle an waiting for 10 - 15 minutes the vehicles started and began driving fine. We later took the car to our local mechanic and her changed all the belts, axle rods, ball joints as wells as an oil change. The car rod fine for 3 months then bam! once again the same issues occurred. Our mechanic suggested researching information about the transmission because he felt the car transmission should not be the problem but from all the problems we were telling him, him thinks it is the transmission. We have read several current and former Nissan Rogue owner complaints and realized the problem was bigger than minor wear and tear. I would appreciate if the NHTSA will take this matter seriously and have Nissan take responsibility for the faulty work it is doing with vehicles put the lives of millions at risk daily!!!!

Car won't go over 40 without transmission problems. Blowing codes for the transmission that Nissan knows is an on going problem with their cvt transmission. Multiple people with the same problem. They refuse to recall the transmission, acknowledge they are the problem.

Automatic cvt transmission has been slipping and unable to shift to 3rd and 4th gear. I have to place it into "N" when moving then shift to "D" then it would move but still slips when driving only in 20 to 30 miles per hour.

Car started stutter at acceleration and gear changes. At low speed as I was accelerating through an intersection, suddenly there was no power at all after a burning smell. Diagnostics show the transmission has failed at 89000 miles. Reminiscent of the cvt transmission failures in other years that have been recalled.
- Minneapolis, MN, USA
Car started making slight whirring noise when accelerating. Took it in to be looked at and they couldn't find an issue. Went another week and the noise got worse and starting skipping and losing power when I tried to accelerate after it's been sitting for a few hours, mostly just in first gear. Almost got in an accident pulling into traffic and lost complete power for a few seconds, was lucky enough to get into a turn lane before I got hit by oncoming traffic. Took it to another mechanic and determined it was transmission and needs to be replaced. They're telling me my car could turn into a giant paperweight at any moment.

- Fort Hood, TX, USA
2011 Nissan rougue cvt failed at 88,000 miles when my son was driving from wichita to dallas. On the highway outside of dallas, at 70 mph, the rpms shot up and the car lost power without any warning. Limped to an off ramp and local service station.the cvt had failed. It was replaced by a local shop and Nissan says that 2011 models are not covered by the extended 120K mile warranty.

This vehicle is very dangerous to operate on warmer days. The transmission seems to overheat very easily causing the vehicle to go into a fail-safe "limp mode". this is very dangerous as it occurs on the highway, on hills, mountain roads, and with my children in the car. It has placed me in dangerous safety situations and the dealership and manufacturer acknowledge the issue exists but take no further action in correcting the dangerous flaw.
- Harrisburg, PA, USA
Vehicle only 9 years old and transmission went out with no warning or any warning lights. Was exiting off the freeway, went to accelerate and it acted as if it was getting no gas. I floored the gas and it took off, then started making a jerking motion untill I pulled over.
- Tacoma, WA, USA
