Filed Apr 25, 2026 · Engine, Transmission · TX

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.
