Once the car has been driven continually for at least 45 minutes or more the service engine light comes and the car loses pressure and starts making a whining noise. This has happened several times while driving on the highway.

Going down the interstate going 65 MPH and we lost all power couldnt go over 30 mphwe had to pull over and wait then we finally got moving again the power loss kept happening now my service engine light is on and they 1100 to fix the problem nissan knows about the problem but won't recall it
I have had my car for four years now, and early this last year, my engine light came on, had it checked out, and they stated I had a leak near my gas cap, so they advised me to purchase a new gas cap, because the suction was go on the old one, I did that, and the next day, I though came back on, I went back to them, and they stated that the way that the leak is, overtime I got gas, I would need to push in the cap and that should seal it. Needless to say that didn't work, it been months later and I have had four different parts related on the vehicle that did not need replacing and my light is still on! They can't figure out what is cause it to come on. The other issue is that my car will not accelerate up hills, I have to have the RPM's on 4 or 5 just to get the car up the hill, and then going down the hill, I car sound like something is wrong. I was told nothing is wrong with it, but I know there is something wrong, it should not sound like that. The next issue that I a having is that my AC compressor is shot. I have been trying to get it replaced all summer now, and for some reason, my car will not accept any of the new ones, I have had about three new ones, I have no clue what to do next. I am moving to georgia in a few weeks, and I am going to need AC!

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 nissan rogue. After stopping at a stop sign, when the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle failed to accelerate and the check engine warning light illuminated. While the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle suddenly jerked forward. In addition, the vehicle failed to start intermittently. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the intake valve hose needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the air filter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 92,000.
The vehicle would not move when accelerating. This was the first time and since then it has happened on multiple occasions. The check engine light has not been on at all it randomly occurs. It seems that it would be an extremely hazardous situation for a vehicle to hesitate in regards to acceleration. It is anywhere from a 2-10 second delay. I have just learned that this is a common problem among many owners of the nissan rogue and it needs to be addressed immediately before someone is injured or worse dead. I am scheduling an appointment to address the issue but when I am making a left turn into traffic and I'm met with vehicles coming towards me as my vehicle hesitates to accelerate I would definitely consider this a life threatening issue for both me and my family.
I was leaving a store and gas light came on. I knew that I had fill up before entering the I-95 interstate and I was a bit perplexed. I drove to a gas station and filled up once again and notice that the gas gauge filled to its capacity. This occurred a few months ago and I dismissed it. On 9/19/13, I stopped at a gas station and the check engine light came on. On 9/20/13 I took the vehicle to the dealership for a diagnostic and was told that I needed a fuel sending unit which would cost me $1,087. Of course, I decline to repair it because at that time I was frustrated with nissan and didn't have the funds. Previously, I took the vehicle back on two occasions for transmission problems which I was grateful that it was under warranty. The dealership replaced the transmission and treated this incident an occurring problem with 09 rogue. I only have this vehicle for 1.5 years and I am fearful each time that I drive. Even the young gentleman from triple a told me to get rid of it because within the last month he has to tow quite a few. My commute on interstate each day is worrisome because I don't know what is going to happen next. Now I am stuck with a new problem with this vehicle that I am still paying for and spending more money on gas because I don't know what can happen. Please we must do something with this company nissan. I placed a complaint today 9/23/13 and was told they would call me back since they don't have any information with this type of recall. (liars) they are lots of complaints about the fuel sending unit on nissan. It is now 2015 and I did fix the fuel sending unit and I am still having problems. My mechanic seem to think that it is electrical because I am still not able to pump gas in my vehicle. I see that the nissan quest have been recalled for the same issue. Please recall the 09 rogue since the complaints are similar.

(liars) they are lots of complaints about the fuel sending unit on nissans. I am not certain if I will continue to make payments on a car that I truly feel unsafe with or write off my loss and look for another vehicle. Either way, I had to write this complaint since I have never felt so unsafe driving a vehicle.
I bought this car from a toyota dealership and a used car with 82k miles on it. Around christmas I was on my way from modesto, ca on the I-80 back to reno, nv. I had the cruise control set to 70 and while going uphill the cruise control shut off and I began loosing speed really fast. I put my foot on the accelerator but there was nothing. I had the pedal floored and yet I kept loosing speed. At first it happened only on hills, now it's happening on flat land. I've also noticed that going from a stop to go point my car almost stalls as if it were a manual, it's automatic. I've almost gotten into an accident a few times because of this issue. The toyota dealership I bought it from says they, "can't replicate the problem," so I'm driving around this car hoping for the best until it gets worse and actually causes and accident or until the check engine light comes on. I did research and the symptoms from other rouge owners similar to my symptoms, all ended up in new transmissions...
We had a check engine light come on, took it to the dealer the next day said it was nothing. Went on a trip 200 ish miles on the way home I had to pass a car and when I stepped on the gas nothing happened. I was left looking at on coming traffic and had to move back over. No acceleration at all. Scared we were going to ruin it by driving any longer I pulled over. We had lunch and tried again about an hour later it seemed fine. About 15 mins into the drive it did the same thing. Not sure exactly what the problem is but I believe it has something to do with the transmission. Also yesterday it rained and now the traction control light has come on. The car is far to new to have these kind of problems, and they could cause accidents.
3rd failure - same problem with 2009 nissan rogue 4cyl w/CVT. Car loses power - when stepping on gas, car only creeps forward, accelerating very slowly as if it's not getting gas or as if you are starting off in a high gear. Attempts to manually downshift have no effect; shifting into neutral allows engine to rev freely. Last two incidents occurred with wife and 2 young children in car on busy road - very high safety risk as the problem occurred without warning, leaving the vehicle suddenly nearly powerless in traffic. First trip to dealer (problem was less severe/frequent first time) prompted service department to "fix" under an open transmission-related service campaign, the description of which did not fit the problem, but the car worked properly upon receipt. Problem returned a month later with greater severity - car had to be towed to dealership. Car was in shop for a week as necessary part was on backorder - "this is a problem we've been seeing lately," we were told. Upon return car never felt fully like it did when new - would often hesitate slightly when going up a grade before pickup returned. Dealer "unable to reproduce" this very frequent problem when brought in for review, so we just lived with it. Third incident occurred last week with high severity, again, putting wife/children at risk immediately after pulling onto a busy main road. Check engine light came on in conjunction with the incident. Car is now at dealer for further evaluation. Car is on lease; requests thus far to be released from remainder of term based on recurring safety concerns have been denied. Car has 12k miles on it at 2 years in our possession, has been fully maintained according to owner's manual and is in excellent overall shape. I am uncomfortable putting my family in this vehicle again given the recurring failure and type of failure.
