2008 Nissan Rogue Engine Problems

On February 6, 2025, while driving at highway speed, the lower radiator hose ruptured, causing complete coolant loss. The CVT transmission overheated, seized, and the engine was destroyed. Vehicle lost motive power at speed without warning. Repair estimate: $20,356.16. Vehicle declared total loss and sold for salvage at $400. Nissan Technical Service Bulletin NTB14-002b acknowledges this identical failure chain in 2008-2012 Rogues and prescribes a supplemental cooler kit (cost under $85) as the fix. Nissan has not included this VIN in any recall despite the identical mechanism. Loss of power at highway speed constitutes a safety-related defect under 49 U.S.C. § 30118.

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.

TAKATA RECALL, THE NISSAN I PURCHASED FROM FUCCILLO NISSAN IN LATHAM, NEW YORK, WAS DEFECTIVE WITH EVERY ISSUE, HOWEVER NISSAN REFUSE TO HONOR ANY RECALLS. THEIR MOST RECENT EXTENDED WARRANTY, INDICATES A REPLACEMENT OF THE EVAP CANISTER AND TUBING, HOWEVER UPON ARRIVING AT THE NISSAN DEALER HE TOLD E MY CAR WAS OLD AND IT ONLY COVERS THE TUBE. THE NISSAN MANUFACTURER IS A JOKE, I DEALT WITH A WOMAN WHO LITERALLY FAILED TO INFORM ME THAT NISSAN NEVER REPORTED THAT I WAS THE NEW OWNER OF THE CAR. HENCE LAST YEAR MY CAR LITERALLY ROLLED BACKWARDS WHILE I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE UP HILL, RIGHT INTO TRAFFIC , POTENTIAL TO BE A DEADLY ACCIDENT , NOTING THE VARIETY OF COMPLAINTS I BELIEVE THAT THEIR WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE. FUCILLO NISSAN REFUSED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION, INSTEAD THE SEALED IT . TWO WEEKS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY, AND OF COURSE THEY REFUSED TO FIX IT TRYING TO EXPLAIN, HOW A CVT TRANSMISSION WORKS, AND THEN HE WENT AS FAR AS SAYING I HAVE TO GET USED TO IT. NISSAN IS A JOKE AND AS LONG AS THEY COULD GET AWAY WITH SELLING DEFECTIVE CARS AND NOT HONORING THEIR VERY OWN RECALLS THEY WILL, BILLY FUCILLO NEEDS HIS LICENCE SNATCHED, THEIR A BUNCH OF CROOKS, WHOM ARE DANGEROUS TO THE PUBLIC.

ITAKATA RECALL:BOUGHT THE CAR IN JULY 2016, AND EVERYTHING THAT CAN GO WRONG HAS, OF COURSE IT'S TRIAL BY ERROR, THIS CAR HAD AND STILL HAS EVERY DEFECT THERE IS. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF ANY PROBLEMS OR WAS MY VIN NUMBER POSTED IN ANY EVENT WE WERE ON OUR WAY TO LAKE GEORGE, TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF 70 WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR DECELERATED, FLOORING GOT US KNOW WHERE, LITERALLY THERE WAS TRAFFIC EVERYWHERE, I PUT MY HAZARDOUS LIGHTS ON AND WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET OVER TO RIGHT SIDE OF ROAD. ON ANOTHER OCCASION I ATTEMPTED TO GO UP A HILL AND WHILE IN DRIVE THE CAR JUST ROLLED BACKWARDS, SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, PERHAPS A WEEK AFTER GETTING MY CAR SERVICED AND MULTI CAR INSPECTION. I TOOK THE CAR BACK ,LADY AT THE DESK INFORMED ME THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE CVT, THEY SEALED IT AND REPLACE TRANSMISSION FLUID , SHE ALSO WENT TO SAY IF IT STILL GIVES YOU PROBLEMS THEN WE WILL REPLACE TRANSMISSION WHILE A FEW WEEKS LATER IT DECELERATED AGAIN. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO FUCILLONISSAN THREE TIMES, THE SERVICE MAN STATED I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL THE SERVICE LIGHT ON, WHAT HE REALLY MEANT TO SAY IS WE ARE NOT GOING PAY OVER THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION, OR WAIT FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY TO EXPIRE. THE TIRE PRESSURE INDICATED LIGHT HAS CAME ON SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR, WHICH IS ALSO A DEFECT , AND REPEATEDLY INFORMED THEM, JUST FILLING THE TIRES UP AND RESET THE BUTTONS PRIOR TO ME OWNING THIS CAR IT WAS SERVICED FOR EMISSIONS DEFECT, THEIR WEBSITE INDICATED THAT THEY MERELY RESET THE BUTTON,BUT THE FACT THAT ARE HAZARDOUS FUMES DON'T EVEN DIRECT THEM TO LOOK FOR LEAK. THE GENTLEMAN FROM NISSAN SAID WAS RESOLVED, PUSHING A BUTTON, JUST LIKE THEY DID WITH TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR. NYS ADHERE TO ONE HAND WATCHES THE OTHER,HENCE THEY WOULD PLACE A RECALL, I JUST HOPE AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER GO THROUGH ANY OF THIS.

I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE PROBLEM ACCELERATING OR SWITCHING GEARS WITH MY CAR. I PURCHASED IT USED IN 2010 AND HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH IT UNTIL TWO MONTHS AGO. I TRAVEL LONG DISTANCES (AVERAGING 300-350 MILES) EVERY OTHER WEEKEND AND ONE AFTERNOON, WHILE ON INTERSTATE 80, I NOTICED THAT IT WASN'T SHIFTING AND THE SPEED REMAINED AT 60MPH. THE RPMS WENT UP PAST 4 AND I HAD TO PULL OVER IN FEAR THAT IT WOULD MAKE THINGS WORSE. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND PRAYED BEFORE I WENT BACK ON THE HIGHWAY. IT WORKED FINE THAT DAY. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT 3 MORE TIMES AND EVERY TIME I WOULD PULL OVER AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, IT SEEMED LIKE IT "RE-BOOTED" ITSELF. BUT 2 DAYS AGO, IT DIDN'T. I WAS ON INTERSTATE 70 EAST ON AN UPHILL AND THE VEHICLE'S SPEED REMAINED AT 40MPH. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD NOT BE ASSESSED UNTIL MONDAY (TOMORROW). I DID SOME RESEARCH AND IT SEEMS LIKE THERE ARE PLENTY OF PROBLEMS WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. MY SON HAS A 2010 NISSAN ROGUE AND HE HAD A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WHICH WAS REPLACED UNDER THE WARRANTY. I HAVE OVER 170,000 MILES ON IT AND I AM SURE IT WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS JUST SHOWS THAT I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A NISSAN VEHICLE AGAIN.

I WAS DRIVING ON I-5 FROM LOS ANGELES TRAVELING ABOUT 65MPH. I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT 55MIN WHEN MY VEHICLE RPM'S STARTED TO INCREASE AND MY MPH'S STARTED TO DECREASE. I TRIED TO PUSH THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TO ACCELERATE BUT JUST THE RPM'S WOULD REV UP AND CAR KEPT LOSING SPEED. I HAD TO PULL OVER VARIOUS TIMES AND LET THE CAR SIT WHILE OFF FOR ABOUT 20-25 MIN BEFORE I COULD DRIVE SAFELY AGAIN. THIS ONLY LASTED FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AT THE MOST BEFORE I WOULD HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN AND HAVE TO PULL OVER TO LET THE CAR SIT FOR A WHILE. ALSO I CHECKED ALL FLUIDS WHEN I PULLED OVER AND EVERYTHING WAS AT OPTIMAL LEVEL AS REQUIRED. THE CAR WAS NOT OVER HEATING EITHER. *TR

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 877-382-4357) 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 THEIR BUSINESS PRACTICES AS WELL AS THEIR SAFETY ISSUES. THESE DEALERSHIPS AND CORPORATE CONSUMER AFFAIRS KNOW THAT UNTIL ENOUGH OF US COMPLAIN TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE AND STOP JUST PAYING FOR NISSAN'S KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH THE CVT AND OTHER ISSUES, THEY WILL KEEP GIVING US THE RUN AROUND. I HAVE TO PUT MY 2ND TRANSMISSION IN MY 2008 ROGUE IN 12 MONTHS. NISSAN TELLS ME MY LAST NEW TRANSMISSION (APRIL 2014) WAS OUT OF THE 12 MONTH/12,000 MILE WARRANTY. THEIR BUSINESS PRACTICES ARE HORRIBLE. THESE CARS ARE UNSAFE AND PUTTING PEOPLE IN DANGER. PLEASE MAKE YOUR VOICE KNOWN AT THE FTC AS WELL AS HERE. TELL OTHERS TO DO THE SAME. WE DESERVE BETTER.

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 WHICH IS EXACTLY MY GAS TANK SIZE. I THEN LOOKED ONLINE AND DISCOVERED SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR AND OTHER MODELS WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE BUT NO GOOD FIXES APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN FOUND. *TR

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 AMNESIA STAGE. *TR

WAS RETURNING FROM TRIP NORTH CAROLINA BACK HOME TO TENNESSEE ONCE ABOUT HOUR AWAY FELT CAR JUST START SLOWING DOWN CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE WHEN PUSHING ON GAS. WAS ABLE TO GET TO RIGHT HAND LANE AND GET OFF INTERSTATE JUST BEFORE CAR WENT TO A CRAWL. CAR WAS MAKING WHINING NOISE WHILE TRYING TO MOVE CAR FROM HIGHWAY. CAR CAME TO STOP AND UNABLE TO MOVE AGAIN. HAD CAR TOWED BACK TO MY HOUSE SENT TO SHOP TO FIND OUT THAT TRANSMISSION HAD MALFUNCTIONED. DOING RESEARCH ON TRANSMISSION FOUND OUT THE NISSAN ROUGE IS USING CVT TRANSMISSION AND THAT NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 120K OR 10 YEARS. MY RESEARCH ALSO FOUND OUT THAT OTHER NISSAN OWNERS OF ROGUE AND MURANOS WERE HAVING ISSUES WITH CVT TRANSMISSION. WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT ABOUT THE WARRANTY I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER CARE TO INQUIRE ABOUT THIS. I WAS TOLD MY MODEL AND MAKE QUALIFIED UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT MILEAGE DIDN'T MATTER. NISSAN DECIDED NOT TO ASSIST ME WITH REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT OF TRANSMISSION. I TRIED TO TELL NISSAN ABOUT LETTER THAT STATED THEY WOULD DECREASE COST EVEN ABOVE 120K. THEY REFUSED TO DO SO. I HAD NO WARNING SENSORS THAT THERE WAS PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A BAD ACCIDENT IF THE TRANSMISSION HAD OF WENT OUT DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC. IT APPEARS READING ABOUT OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCES WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS THAT NISSAN DOESN'T WANT TO OWN UP TO HAVING A FAULTY TRANSMISSION. EVEN SPEAKING WITH MECHANICS FROM OUTSIDE AND WITH NISSAN THAT THIS TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY AND MANY HAVE ISSUES AND COMPLAINANTS ABOUT IT. *TR

MAY 2014: ON A TRIP TO AZ, VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO DECELERATE AND COULD NOT BE DRIVEN MORE THAN 3000 RPMS. SUDDENLY AND DRASTICALLY SLOWING DOWN WITHOUT USING BRAKES AND WITH NO BRAKE LIGHT WARNING TO FOLLOWING VEHICLES COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS REAR-END ACCIDENT. PROBLEM OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING MORE 20 TIMES. TOOK ROGUE TO ECONOMY NISSAN TO REPAIR PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED DIP STICK AND DRAINED OFF SOME TRANSMISSION FLUID AND STATED THIS WOULD CORRECT WHAT THEY SAID WAS A TRANSMISSION FLUID OVERHEATING PROBLEM. JULY 2014: ON ANOTHER CROSS COUNTRY TRIP PROBLEM RE-OCCURRED. WENT TO DAVE SOLON NISSAN IN PUEBLO COLO. THEY ADVISED NOT TO CONTINUE DRIVING ROGUE UNTIL A TRANSMISSION COOLER KIT WAS INSTALLED. THIS PART WAS ON PERPETUAL BACK ORDER. IN REALITY WE WERE INFORMED THAT AT THAT TIME THERE WAS NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. BECAUSE OF OUR SCHEDULE, WE TRADED THE ROGUE IN FOR A USED NISSAN PATHFINDER. WE LATER FOUND OUT THAT DAVE SOLON NISSAN GOT TIRED OF WAITING FOR THE PART AND TOOK ROGUE TO A CAR ACTION. IT IS UNCLEAR WHETHER THEY INFORMED THE PUBLIC OF PROBLEM OR JUST SOLD THE VEHICLE WITH A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM THAT COULD NOT BE CORRECTED. TO DATE THERE APPEARS TO BE NO FIX TO THIS PROBLEM. WE BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE GIVEN THE HIGH POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS REAR-END ACCIDENTS. *TR

I FIRST EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER IN MY VEHICLE WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I STARTED TO GO, EVEN WITH THE GAS PEDAL PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR THE CAR WOULD BARELY MOVE. THE ENGINE WOULD REV, BUT THE CAR BARELY HAD ANY POWER. I DROVE IT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT (HAYES CHRYSLER IN GAINESVILLE) THE STATED IT WAS THEY THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND SENT IT TO THE CARRIAGE NISSAN GARAGE. AFTER HAVING IT THERE FOR A FEW DAYS THE TECHNICIAN SAID HE COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM! I LEFT AND BEFORE I COULD EVEN GET 15 MILES DOWN THE ROAD I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 60MPH, WHEN ALL THE SUDDEN I STARTED LOSING SPEED. REGARDLESS OF THE FACT THAT I HAD THE GAS PEDAL TOO THE FLOOR! I TURNED AROUND AND TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO NISSAN, HOWEVER IN THE LAST 10 MINUTES OF MY DRIVE TO THE SERVICE SHOP THE PROBLEM STOPPED! THEY KEPT IT FOR ANOTHER DAY AND STILL COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THEY STATED THAT IT WAS MOST LIKELY THE ABS SENOR THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WE REPLACED THE SENSOR AND I THOUGHT ALL THE PROBLEMS HAD BEEN SOLVED! WRONG!!!! THERE HAVE BEEN 3 INSTANCES WERE I HAVE HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL SET WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN I START LOSING SPEED! THERE HAVE BEEN 4 INSTANCES WHERE I HAVE ALMOST BEEN T-BONES WITH MY 2 SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR BECAUSE THE CAR HAS LOST ACCELERATION IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION!!! THE MORNING I TOOK MY CAR TO THE SHOP THIS TIME (8-25-14) I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A SEMI WHEN MY CAR COULDN'T GET THROUGH THE GREEN LIGHT BEFORE IT TURNED RED. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS, AND FIGHTS FOR A RECALL ON THIS TRANSMISSION! MY NISSAN TECH STATES THAT IF THERE IS NO CODE THROWN DURING THE INCIDENT THEN THEY CANNOT REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION, YET EVERY CASE I'VE READ SAY THAT NO CODE HAS SHOWN UP AT ALL! THIS IS A DANGER TO OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION DIED ON MY 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN JUNE 2008, WE HEARD "WHIRING" NOISES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP OF PURCHASE AND WE HAVE THE NOTATION THAT CUSTOMER COMPLAINED OF WHIRING. RESULT WAS THERE WERE NO ISSUES. CAR HAS CONTINUED TO WHINE THROUGH THE YEARS, IN THE PAST YEAR, IT BECAME WORSE. WE TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC TO BE EVALUATED, AND IMMEDIATELY HE KNEW THE PROBLEM- THE CVT TRANSMISSION. THE MECHANIC DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT NISSAN HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY, VERY QUIETLY. SINCE I DRIVE 70+ MILES TO/FROM WORK, MY CAR WAS ALREADY OVER THE WARRANTY LIMIT. HENCE, LEFT WITH 2 OPTIONS, REPLACEMENT VIA A NISSAN DEALERSHIP COSTING $5,000 AS NO VIABLE MECHANIC WILL TOUCH THE PROBLEM. OR GET RID OF THE CAR. THIS TYPE OF REPAIR WAS NOT IN OUR BUDGET NOR WERE WE IN A POSITION TO PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE ( THIS ONE WAS PAID FOR). THERE WAS NO GUARANTEE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WOULD GO OUT, OTHER THAN IT EVENTUALLY WOULD. LATELY, THE NOISE HAD BECOME MUCH WORSE AND WE FEARED THE WORST. THANK GOODNESS, THE CAR DIED IN OUR DRIVEWAY AND NOT THE HIGHWAY. NISSAN KNEW THIS WAS A PROBLEM, APPARENTLY FROM THE BEGINNING, AND IS NOT ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY. *TR
