2012 Nissan Rogue Problems

August 1, 2025 I was trying to get to [XXX] from [XXX] to see my mother, before Kansas City, Mo. Before getting to KC while cruise was engaged car RPM’s began amping but car did not speed up. I put it park and turned motor off and tried to drive again, but did the same thing. I called my mechanic in XXX and he suggested I try to come back but I couldn’t go over 30mph driving on the shoulder ALL the way back to XXX.!! Very tramatic experience.!! Mechanic said it sounded like possible transmission problem.!!! That’s when my son told me about Nissan’s new transmission they went to that is in this Nissan.!! They know it was a bad idea.!!! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My vehicle is making this rattling noise so I took it to the dealership and they said I need a subframe. Be advised this vehicle has never been in a accident so why is the subframe needed and I only have 81,000 miles on it

1/2024 car loses power going from 70mph to about 40mph - dealership adjusted transmission fluid, 12/2024 started having power issues again dropping from 40mph to 20mph. Dealership said they couldn't do anything until it starts happening more frequently. So I'm suppose to just drive it with a potential crash that could hurt or kill someone. Not acceptable, Nissan needs to recall 2012 Rogues due to transmission issues before someone gets killed.

The doors unlock or lock on their own. Some locks then don’t lock or unlock. Sometimes they have to be unlocked manually. The trunk does not unlock at all. I can’t open the trunk.

2008-13 Nissan Rogue/2014 Rogue Select (S35) Driver’s Kick Panel Harness Connector Inspection Voluntary Safety Recall Campaign Reference: R1421 I spoke with Nissan and the recall does not cover my VIN number however I had previously owned a 2015 Nissan Altima and experienced the same issue. My car will be serviced on 2/24/26 with a Nissan Dealership in Hampton, VA for repairs related to this issue. My daughter drives the car while she is away at college. The issue began a few weeks ago when snow and rain occurred and now the bluetooth is going out and now the check engine light appears. I'm pretty certain this VIN should be included in the recall previously issued. The car maybe out of warranty but this appears to be a manufacturer related problem. I'm attaching current video.

Passenger side air bag inoperable,have been told it was sensor in seat

Air bags are common problem. It can be googled. Ours stopped working. When braking the steering wheel shakes bad. Got fixed and came right back week later. Common problem. O2 sensor needed changed cause when slippery road indicator comes on car won't accelerate over 25 mph. Have to cut engine off wait for seconds and cut back on and its fine. Oil leak is where everyone online said there's is. There should be recall on these things it hurting environment n dangerous for drivers on the road.

The main and most dangerous issue is first hearing high pitch whining/winding sound while driving as the rpm's start to spike and stay high resulting & causing vehicle to lose power and speed for no apparent reason. Subsequently, as you attempt to depress the gas pedal to increase speed to try to mitigate the issue, the vehicle continues to lose power and speed regardless of how depressed gas pedal is (even completely depressed to floorboard). Within seconds vehicle is forced to a stop from lack of power and acceleration and will not continue to drive at all. This issue is nothing less than terrifying and incredibly dangerous especially while on the freeway with heavy traffic speeding and whizzing past you at 70+ mph. If this is happening to people at night, it's only a matter of time before someone will be killed by the speeding and oblivious traffic coming from behind if that has not already occurred. I was travelling with my child and our dog in the back and wonder would have happened if I couldn't have merged into the slower lanes in heavy traffic and off to the shoulder to "safety." What will happen to a family in the fast lane that is not able to merge to safety or when they find themselves forced and stuck in the middle of the freeway between the median and the fast lane?? In addition, upon starting, vehicle will also idle higher than normal and stay high with slight fluxuation even while in park. While driving, rpm's continue to spike with every gear shift and vehicle is slow to respond and keep up with desired speed and will continue to worsen as time progresses. The longer the drive, the more (tired) and sluggish it seems with both lack of response, lack of power, and lack of speed. First signs of issue were while idling at stoplights, vehicle will shake and seem to idle very low as if going to die while at idle. There is also a noticeable shake while driving especially at higher speeds with this problem remaining and lasting the duration of drive.

There is a very strong odor of gas that I can smell inside the cabin and fuel consumption is at an all time high.I drove on a full tank less than 100 miles and it was on empty. The storing gas odor is concerning and Nissan refuses to address or fix.

The contact owns a 2012 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle made an abnormal sound. The check engine warning light and the ABS warning light illuminated immediately. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

The contact owns a 2012 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that while in reverse(R) an abnormal dragging sound was coming from the vehicle while depressing the brake pedal. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer on three separate occasions however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. On the fourth occasion, the contact was advised by her husband to have the dealer check the brake rotors and calipers. The dealer then discovered that the parts were defective, and the parts were replaced; however, after the repair was performed the failure persisted. The manufacturer had been notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.

I was looking at the fact that this car has 2 recalls for problems that I never bothered to check, but it's better to have everything in order. everything is in order.

THERE IS A TPMS RECALL HOWEVER, MY VIN ISN'T SHOWN AS AFFECTED EVEN THOUGH THE TPMS LIGHT ON MY DASH HAS BEEN ON FOR OVER A YEAR. NO NOTIFICATION FROM NISSAN FOR MY VIN. JUST SEEMS MORE THAN A LITTLE "ODD" THAT IT'S A VALIDATED RECALL ISSUE BUT MINE ISN'T PART OF THE RECALL.

My son was driving at a highway speed of 55 out of Lawrence, KS. He noticed left headlight flickering and starting to smoke. He immediately pulled over and exited the vehicle. At that point, the whole front of the car was engulfed in flames. Very dangerous. I can provide pictures but for some reason the upload information won't allow me to do it here. Fire department had to put it out and was a total loss.

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 TRUCK PULLING A HEAVY LOADED TRAILER THAT RAN A RED LIGHT. REAR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED!

SUN VISORS NO LONGER STAY IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION AT ANY TIME. THEY PRODUCE A HAZARD BY CONSTANTLY BLOCKING YOUR VIEW OF THE HIGHWAY. VEHICLE HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

SRS air bag light was on, called dealer, light stayed on, CVT transmission has issues, electrical problems while driving, car will decelerate and stop without warning. My safety is at risk everyday, the car can stop at anytime without warning, airbag deployed. The dealership has not found any problems that they are willing to be accountable for. The vehicle has not been inspected before or after accident. Check engine light was on, transmission was replaced twice at my own expense. SRS light was on before accident.

TAKATA INFLATORS/ SEAT BELTS??? A GROUP OF TURKEYS RAN OUT IN FRONT OF ME ON A GRAVEL ROAD HAD TO HIT MY BRAKES HARD THE CAR SLID INTO A CURB DUE TO GRAVEL, AIR BAG WENT OFF ( NOT THAT HARD OF A HIT) THE SEAT BELTS LOCKED COULD NOT GET THEM TO RELEASE HAD TO CUT THE SEAT BELT TO GET OUT OF IT. ALL THE SEAT BELTS ARE LOCKED AND WILL NOT RELEASE SO YOU CAN NOT DRIVE THE CAR WITH NO SEAT BELTS

Air bags are common problem. It can be googled. Ours stopped working. When braking the steering wheel shakes bad. Got fixed and came right back week later. Common problem.

CLOCK SPRING ISSUES, AS FAR AS I KNOW A CLOCK SPRING SHOULD LAST AS LONG AS THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE, UNLESS THERE IS AN ACCIDENT OR SOMETHING UNAVOIDABLE. DUE TO THIS ISSUE MY HORN STOPPED WORKING; THIS HAPPENED WHILE IN MOTION. I HOPE NISSAN TAKES RESPONSIBILITY AND REPLACES MY CLOCK SPRING AT NO CHARGE. ALSO, IN LESS THAN A MONTH TWO FRONT SIGNAL BULBS HAD TO BE REPLACED (LEFT AND RIGHT.)

The CVT component on these cars causes it to lose power and acceleration which can cause an bad accident..one morning while going to work i got onto the expressway and car did not want to acceleration and almost caused me to get into a collision with an 18 wheeler.. The next day i took it to an mechanic shop whereas they told me nothing was wrong with my car and i should contact nissan and complain because the only problem they can guess is its my CVT and nissan made the car to do that so it last longer.. Then 2 days later I was driving on a commercial road with lots of traffic when all of a sudden my car would not acceleration even when I pushed the pedal to the floor.. I pulled over and turned the car off for awhile and then Crunk it back up and it was accelerating better.. so over the course of 5 months I have been having this problem with my car when I come to a stop or when I decelerate and then accelerate.. I did some research to find out what could be the problem and I came across a thread of other consumers that were having the same exact problem with the nissan brand of cars and suv's.. even though they know this problem exists with their make and models they provide no solution other than spend more money on a car they designed with a defective transmission and/or other components.. this is a serious safety concern for anyone driving these cars or suvs from nissan..

BRAKE FRONT/BACK HAS BEEN REPLACE. AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON SUSPENSION BELT WEAR VEHICLE IS DRIVER ABLE

As I am steering, the horn goes off at any moment for a long period of time distracting many drivers and scaring them half to death on the road ! This is an incident that has been going on for a while, and there are many other people that I have came across with the same problem. This is my only car and I have no idea who to turn to, but the amount of money for a Nissan that is in great condition and has never been in an accidents seems to have allot of electrical failures.
