2013 Nissan Rogue Other Problems

Your transmission failed while driving on the highway with a passenger in the car, forcing you to pull into the median and call for a tow truck. The transmission had already failed once in 2023 and was repaired under dealer warranty, but Nissan is refusing to cover this second failure. You're reporting that transmission failure is a known issue with Rogues and requesting that Nissan address what you consider a safety problem rather than leaving owners stranded on highways.

THE REAR BACK PASSENGER DOOR WILL OPEN IN THE UNLOCKED POSITION FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE. THE ELECTRIC WINDOW WORKS BUT THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL.

MY 2013 NISSAN ROGUE S 2.5L 4CYl GAS QR25DE IS HAVING A CLOGGING WATER LEAK ISSUE. I STARTED EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE OVER 6 MONTHS AGO UPTIL NOW FOR MY SUV. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE HAVING THAT LEAK IN MY PASSENGERS FRONT SIDE COMING OUT FROM MY OPEN ROOF AREA AND WETING MY INTERIOR CAR FRONT FOOT MATS AND STINCTS. THE LEAK FLOWS OUT UNDER MY VEHICLE, THERE BY, WATER GUSHES OUT WATER UNDER MY VEHICLE, LIKE A TAP WATER RUNNING OUT. I HAD TAKEN IT TO A MECHANIC WORKSHOP 6 MONTHS AGO & STILL EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE OVER AGAIN. AFTER UNCLOGGING IT, IT COMES BACK CLOGGED BACK AGAIN. I NEED HELP FOR RECALL OR ANYHOW THAT NHTSA WILL HELP TO CONTACT NISSAN TO TAKE CARE OF IT, SO IT BE FIXED PROPERLY, NOT UPTO A YEAR I BOUGHT THIS CAR. I'M NOT HAPPY THAT NISSAN PRODUCTS FOR OPEN ROOF WILL BE HAVING THIS ISSUE & PEOPLE COMPLAINS IT ALSO AS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE MAKE & MODEL. THANK YOU!

The water leaking on driver floor and I don’t know what happens so I think air conditioner because I checked the sunroof and it is good.

Driver's side seatbelt keeps coming unlocked for no apparent reason. Airbag light stays on because of this issue.

Need a new transmission. Mechanic stated it was slipping. I drive to and from Work. I see there’s many others with the same issue. There should be a recall. Have to come up with 4500 Dollars When the car isn’t even worth that much and I owe that much left on the car note.

Unexpected CVT transmission failure on a gently used 2013 Roque with 96,000 miles on it. No help from Nissan or previous class action suits even though it's clear they knew this an issue. This vehicle, like many others, were properly maintained and should have been included in those approved for extended warranty. Nissan told me that I was not listed as the owner but I'm the 2nd owner and I guess that's there excuse for not notifying me of any class action that MIGHT have been worthwhile to file. Very upset and car just towed tonight to Nissan for $4,800 cvt tranny repair.

We live in the Ozarks where it is very hilly. We have had several occurrences where we have traveled uphill while in our 2013 Nissan Rogue and we have had to pull over due to issues with the CVT. It is very dangerous when on the highway and the speed limit is 65 and the Rogue won't accelerate past 45 mph. The first time that this happened, we took it to a Nissan dealership and they said that the car needed a cooler kit ($200). We were out of town and they were not able to make the repairs same day so we declined. Our regular auto shop has stated that they see issues all the time with the transmission of the 2013 Rogues. It was recommended to us to get a new transmission but they aren't sure if that would actually fix the issue. They recommended selling the vehicle as Nissan is notorious for not wanting to correct their issues. The most recent incident regarding the CVT was 9/17 when my husband and I were looking to travel for a day trip an hour and a half away. We were unable to make the trip as they were many hills and the CVT made us pull over several times. We were very lucky to be in the right lane and only almost got hit twice. Unfortunately there is not always a safe spot to pull over when the CVT acts up which has left us in on the shoulder of hills. We ended up turning back around after waiting for the engine to cool for a couple of hours. This car is a nightmare.

Lost power going up hills on a trip. Had to keep pulling over to cool off the transmission. Cruise control popped of and then I would continue to lose power. Went to St George Transmission was told I had a vapor lock in my transmission. Can't travel far with my vehicle due to losing power

I have had numerous big repairs done to this vehicle. On 06/25/2021, I took the car to have the air conditioner fixed. It turned out it was the compressor that needed to be replaced. The next day I picked up the car and the mechanic told me this car needs to be parked right away because it needs a few major repairs. It needed the front n rear pads n rotors,the right axle and the left lower control arm. Since we need this car to go to work and transport our children to their appointments, we went ahead and had the repairs done. We brought the car on 07/07/21 to have it repaired. Total amount paid in all repairs was $1,737.00. The next day i took the car to work to test it out after all the repairs and it drove fine. The following day my wife took the car in the morning to work. She noticed the car was stalling and would not go forward even pressing the gas to the bottom. She was at a stop light and when it turned green she pressed the gas to go and the car just stopped and the check engine came on. It is the transmission. She was able to pull to the side safely. The transmission on this car was replaced on 10/01/19 after we called Nissan corporation and they agreed to pay 70% of the cost. I called Nissan yesterday 07/19/21 and they returned the call to me today 07/20/21. They told me they are unable to do anything about it since the warranty on the previous transmission had expired. We are now stuck with this car and we are still making payments and we have no idea what to do. I feel this car is not safe at all to be driven on the streets and Nissan should step up and recognize this particular year and model car is defective. Also, I would like to see if Nissan can compensate me for something whether it be the repairs i paid for or if they are willing to replace the transmission, or pay some or all of the remaining balance on the car note I have.

CAR LOCKING MECHANISM FREEZES IN COLD WEATHER, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN DOOR DESPITE 'UNLOCKING' CAR. HAD THE ISSUE FIXED 2 YEARS AGO AND HAD TO HAVE IT FIXED AGAIN.

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, WHEN I TRIED TO START IT THE KEY WOULD NOT TURN IN THE IGNITION. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS NOT LOCKED.

DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR LOCKED BY IT SELF WE CAN NOT OPEN IT, ALL OTHER DOOR WORKING NORMAL RIGHT NOW, MECHANIC CAN NOT FIX IT BECAUSE WE CAN NOT OPEN THE DOOR

TRANSMISSION FAILED WITH ONLY 54K MILES ON ON JULY 20TH WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I COULD NOT GO ANY FASTER THAN 40MPH AND HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MY AIR CONDITIONING ALSO STOPPED WORKING IN 90 DEGREE WEATHER.

WHILE TRAVELING BACK FROM THE EAST COAST, IN THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT ON THE VEHICLE. WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE. HAD TO TRAVEL ABOUT 30 MILES ON THE SIDE OF INTERSTATE TO GET TO NEAREST TOWN. LOCATED A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. ENDING UP PAYING THOUSANDS TO GET TRANSMISSION FIXED.

MY 2013 NISSAN ROGUE NEEDS THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. IT HAS 101.512 MILES ON IT. FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD THIS IS VERY UPSETTING. I HAVE CONTACTED CONSUMER AFFAIRS HOPING THAT THEY WILL PAY OR HELP PAY FOR THE COST. I HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT THE CVT IN THESE VEHICLES AND IT SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE. I FEEL AS A CONSUMER THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY NISSAN.THEY SHOULD REALLY STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. HOT IN IT ONE MORNING THE ENGINE E LIGHT CAME ON BACKED OUT OF MY GARAGE PUT IT IN DRIVE AND COULD NOT GO OVER 5 MILES AN HOUR AND IT WAS MAKING A WHINING SO OUND. PARKED IT AND HAD IT TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP.I AM VERY UPSET THAT THIS HAPPENED AND THAT I HAVE THIS EXPENSE NOW.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR DOES NOT UNLOCK. DRIVER IS LOCKED INSIDE VEHICLE. IN THE INSTANCE OF A DISABLED DRIVER, THIS IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AS THE DRIVER MUST EXIT OTHER DOOR. PEOPLE WITH LIMITED MOBILITY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO DO SO. IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY, THIS MAY ALSO BE A HAZARD

"TAKATA RECALL" I LOSE POWER GOING DOWN THE ROAD AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR TO HOUR IN A HALF..MY RPM GO WAY HIGH BUT MY SPEED DROP AND I HAVE TO STOP AND LET THE CAR COOL AND TRY TO START AGAIN ON MY TRIP.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR STOP LOCKING.

I FILLED UP MY GAS TANK. TURNED THE GAS CAP UNTIL IT CLICKED AND DROVE AWAY. A FEW DAYS LATER MY CAR GIVES ME A WARNING THAT MY GAS CAP ISN'T TIGHT. I TIGHTEN THE GAS CAP HOWEVER THE WARNING KEEPS POPPING UP WHEN I START MY CAR. THE WARNING EVENTUALLY GOES AWAY BUT MY ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I BUY A REPLACEMENT GAS CAP FROM THE PARTS STORE HOWEVER THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS DOES NOT GO AWAY. A FE DAYS LATER THE ENGINE LIGHT TURNED OFF. EVERYTHING IS FINE I GO TO GET GAS AND TIGHTEN MY GAS CAP. A FEW DAYS LATER THE GAS CAP LIGHT WARNING SIGN COMES ON AGAIN. THE ENGINE LIGHT FOLLOWS A FEW DAYS LATER. I TAKE THE CAR TO THE AUTO MECHANIC SHOP AND HE TELLS ME I NEED AN AUTHENTIC NISSAN GAS CAP. HE ORDERS ONE AND PUTS IT ON AND RESET THE ENGINE LIGHT. NOTHING IS WRONG WITH MY CAR. I RIDE AROUND A FEW DAYS AND THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS OFF. I GO TO HAVE MY CAR INSPECTED BY THE STATE FOR THE EMISSIONS TEST EVERYTHING IS FINE. A FEW DAYS LATER MY ENGINE LIGHT COMES BACK ON. I TAKE IT TO A DIFFERENT MECHANIC SHOP AND HAVE THEM TEST THE CAR. THEY TELL ME THE READ OUT SAYS IT'S A SLOW LEAK FROM THE GAS CAP. HE TIGHTEN THE GAS CAP AND RESET THE ENGINE LIGHT. A FEW DAYS LATER THE I RECEIVE A WARNING SIGN ABOUT THE GAS CAP AND THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THE GAS CAP WARNING AND ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON AND GOING OFF FOR OVER FOUR YEARS NOW. BOTH MECHANICS TOLD ME THAT THE ENGINE IS NOT RECOGNIZING THE GAS CAP. IT'S AN AUTHENTIC NISSAN GAS CAP I PURCHASED EARLIER THIS YEAR. ONE MECHANIC TOLD ME NISSAN HAS A BULLETIN OUT ABOUT THE GAS CAP BUT HAS NOT COMPLETED A RECALL.

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE RPMS WENT TOO 4000 AND OUR SPEED WAS 45 MPH. CAME BACK HOME AND IT WOULDN'T GO OVER 1000 RPM NOT GETTING ANY POWER. I BELIEVE IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION

TAKARA RECALL TRANSMISSION GOING OUT. WILL NOT PULL UP HILLS OR ACCELERATE WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE. STARTED AT 80 000 MILES. I CAN ONLY DRIVE MY VEHICLE ON FLAT GROUND OR AREAS .

CVT TRANSMISSION/AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS: THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED AS IT STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. WHILE IN MOTION. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, THE #1 PROBLEM FOR 2013 NISSAN ROGUES IS THIS EXACT ISSUE. THESE TRANSMISSIONS WERE BUILD POORLY.

I HAVE A 2013 NISSAN ROUGE , 2.5 , 2 WHEEL DRIVE WITH CVT TRANSMISSION. I WAS IN HIGHWAY DRIVING 60 MAR, SUDDENLY, SPEED WENT DOWN TO 40 , NOW POWER, I HAVE TO PULL OVER,...I SHOW IT TO THE MECHANIC AND IT IS A TRANSMISSION,...I CALLED A DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT IS NOT UNDER WARRENTY. I NOTICED MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINT WITH THIS BRAND MODEL! WHY YOUR COMPANY DOES NOT ENFORCE A SAFETY LAWS AND FINE THE NISSAN COMPANY FOR SELLING DEFECTIVE CARS TO THE PUBLIC WHERE THEY PUT PEOPLE LIFE IN DANGER? WHAT BOY , IF I WAS STUCK BY BIG TRUCK OR THE CARS IN THE FREEWAY AND DIED! WOULD NISSAN COMPANY ACCEPT ANY LIABILITY? THE NISSAN COMPANY SHOULD BE PUNISHED FOR THE IRRESPONSIBLE ACT . I BOUGHT THE CAR FOR 24000.00$ AND STILL ARE PAYING MY MONTHLY PAYMENT AND IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO ME AT ALL THAT I HAVE TO SPENT ANOTHER 4000.00$ FROM MY POCKET TO FIX THEIR FAULT DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION? WHY THEY DO NO RE CALL IT? WHY THEY ARE SELLING IT TO THE PUBLIC THAT THEY KNOW FOR THE FACT THAT IS UNSAFE CAR TO DIVE????? MY CAR WAS IN THE MOTION 60 MILES AN HOUR IN THE FREE WAY AND SPEED WENT DOWN BY ITSELF, M AND THE TRANSMISSION START ACTING,... YOU PUT IN DRIVE OR REVERSE IT DOES NOT MOVE AT ALL?????? THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINT SIMILAR T O MINE AT YOUR DATA BASE OR OTHER COMPANY OR GOOGLE,... IT IS A SAFETY RISK TO DRIVE THIS KING OF NISSAN IN THE ROAD, ESPECIALLY IN THE HIGH WAY, EVEN 5 YEARS OLD KNOWS THAT. THE NISSAN COMPANY SHOULD BE FINED AND ENFORCED BT LAW ENFORCEMENT , YOUR COMPANY, COURT,... TO RECALL ALL THE NISSAN ROUGH AND REPAIRS OR REPLACE THEIR FAULT TRANSMISSION FREE OF CHARGE.

TAMARA RECALL TRANSMISSION IS NO LONGER WORKING, THE TRANSMISSION JUST SUDDENLY WENT OUT COMPLETELY.

IN APRIL OF 2017 WHILE DRIVING THER WA A METAL ON METAL SOUND COMING FROM UNDERNETH THE CAR WHILE STEPPING OR ACCERLATING ON THE GAS. AFTER TAKING TO MY MECHANIC I WAS ADVISE THAT I NEEDED A NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER THERE WAS NO ENGINE LIGHT NOTIFICATION. I RECIEVED A LETTER IN NOVEMBER 2017 FROM NISSAN STATING THAT THE EVAPORATIVE EMISSION VAPOR TUBE MAY DEVELOP A CLOG. AFTER SPEAKING WITH MY MECHANIC HE STATED I SHOULD FILED A CLAIM WHICH I DID . NISSAN STATED THAT MY NEW CATALYIC CONVERTER HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH MY EMMISSIONS. I REFILED MY CLIAM AFTER HAVING MY MECHANIC WROTE A NARRATIVE I THEN RECIEVE AN E-MAIL FROM NISSAN STATING THAT AFTER REVIEWING MY VEHICLE INDENTIFICATION NUMBER, THERE IS NO EVAPORATIVE VENT TUBE WARRANTY EXTENSION RELATED TO THE VIN AND THOSE WOULD BE THE REASONS WHY THE REQUEST WOULD BE DEINED.

I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION GETTING READY TO CROSS ONTO THE HIGHWAY, WHEN I NOTICED THAT MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT FULLY ACCELERATE. WHEN I GOT OVER 40MPH, I BEGAN TO HEAR STRANGE NOISES COMING FROM MY ENGINE, LIKE A WHISTLING OR WINING SOUND. I HAVE PREVIOUSLY HEARD LIKE A SQUEAKING NOISE WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE BEFORE, BUT THOUGHT THAT MAYBE IT WAS MY BRAKES, BECAUSE I OLD HEARD IT SOMETIMES WHEN I WOULD COME TO A STOP, OR PULL OFF. JUST LAST MONTH I PUT A NEW BATTERY IN MY VEHICLE, BUT MY CAR JUST SHUT DOWN ON ME ONE NIGHT WHILE I WAS OUT. THEN A COUPLE WEEKS LATER I NOTICE THESE NOISES I JUST REFERED TO. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THEN COMES ON MAYBE A WEEK OR TWO AFTER I JUST PUT A NEW BATTERY INSIDE MY CAR! AGAIN I THINK MAYBE ITS JUST SOMETHING SMALL. I ALWAYS GET REGULAR MAINTENANCE DONE, SO I KNEW THAT I WAS DUE FOR A TRANSMISSION FLUSH AISO..NOT A MECHANIC, SO THINKING THAT MAYBE THAT WAS WHY MY LIGHT WAS ON. I THEN ENDED UP PAYING ABOUT $200 FOR THE FLUSH, AND MY LIGHT WAS STILL ON. I WENT TO A COUPLE DIFFERENT AUTO SHOPS AND LET THEN CHECK MY LIGHT ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO A NISSAN DEALER BECAUSE THEY THINK ITS THE TRANSMISSION OR MAYBE THE O2 SENSOR, BUT ONLY A NISSAN DEALER CAN CONFIRM THAT!. SO I DID, ONLY TO SPEND AN EXTRA ALMOST $100 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, WHEN I TOLD THEM WHAT WAS SAID. SO FINAL RESULTS: I NEED TO REPLACE MY CTV TRANSMISSION ON THIS VEHICLE THAT I HAVE ONLY HAD SINCE FEB. 2016 AND STILL HAVE A LOAN OUT!!! AND FILE 2 CLAIMS WITH NISSAN, THAT TOOK TEN DAYS, ONLY FOR THEM TO TELL MY THEY WILL NOT BE REIMBURSING, OR REPLACING, OR ASSISTING WITH THIS BECAUSE THEY VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A CURRENT RECALL FOR THIS MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR. HOWEVER, THEY ARE AWARE THAT THERE ARE RECALLS ON PREVIOUS MODELS OF THE SAME VEHICLE FOR THE SAME ISSUE!!!!!!!

AT AROUND 56,000 MILES THE ENGINE WOULD REV ON ITS OWN WHEN ID GO UP HILL THEN NO PROBLEMS UNTIL 6 MTHS AGO WHERE @ 66,000 MILES THE CAR WOULD DESPERATE ON ITS OWN FROM 70MPH TO 55 THEN 25 ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO DRIVE WITH MY HAZARDS ON. I WOULD THEN PUSH THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND IT WOULD TAKE 10 SECONDS TO GET TO 50MPH. THE CAR HAS NO POWER IT SEEMS LIKE.

CVT TRANSMISSION FAILS DURING ACCELERATION AT INTERSECTIONS; TRANSMISSION FAILS WHEN GOING UPHILL AND STARTS RAPIDLY DE-ACCELERATING PUTTING VEHICLE AT RISK OF BEING REAR-ENDED; EVEN ON LEVEL HIGHWAY, NISSAN ROGUE WILL START LOSING ACCELERATION PUTTING VEHICLE AT RISK OF ACCIDENT AND INJURY/DEATH TO PASSENGERS. TOTALLY UNPREDICTABLE AND UNRELIABLE.

WHILE DRIVING SPEED THE LIMIT OF 70MPH MY CAR REDUCE SPEED TO 40MPH...ON THE HIGHWAY .I COULD NOT INCREASE THE SPEED... I TRY BYY PUSHING THE PADDLE TO THE FLOOR IT STILL WOULD NOT INCREASE SPEED. NOW IT BEGAN TO MAKE NOISE AS IF IT HAD A COLD AND THE ENGINE LITE COMES ON. SO I STOP AT AUTO ONE TO HAVE IT CHECK AND IT SAID THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER WAS HAVING PROBLEM. SINCE THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM . I WENT TO MY MECHANIC..AND HE CHECK EVERYTHING TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG..CHANGE THE OIL, AND ALL SUPPOSE TO BE REPLACE. AND ALSO ADDED A CLEANING FLUID TO CLEAN OUT ANY CLOGS AND DIRT... NOW IT'S BEEN SIX MONTH AND ONCE AGAIN I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE CVT..SO NOW I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. SAME THING ...OIL CHANGE AND SO ON. I VERY SCAR NOW BECAUSE MY CAR IS REACTING BADLY AND NO ONE CAN'T SEE THE PROBLEM. SO I GOOGLE MY PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT 7 PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR NISSAN RROGUE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE MAKING OF THIS MODEL CAR . AND IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT CAN BE FIX WITHOUT TAKING THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY APART WHICH WILL COST 3,000 AND NOT INCLUDED LABOR... I PURCHASE MY CAR TWO YEARS AGO IT SHOULD NOT BE ACTING THIS WAY AND NEITHER SHOULD THE SEVEN OTHER PEOPLE THAT PURCHASE THESE VEHICLE. WHEN WILL SOMEONE CORRECT THIS WHEN SOMEONE GET SERIOUSLY HURT.

I WENT TO USE THE JACK PROVIDED BY NISSAN TO CHANGE A FLAT TIRE. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THE JACK HAD EVER BEEN USED. AS I STARTED TO ELEVATE THE VEHICLE HIGHER I NOTICED THE JACK STARTED TO BEND AND COLLAPSE, AS THE SCREW MECHANISM ALSO STARTED TO BEND. THE ATTACHED PHOTOS PROBABLY DO NOT TRULY SHOW HOW MUCH BOTH THE FRAME & SCREW OF THE JACK HAD ACTUALLY BENT. I HAD TO USE ANOTHER JACK TO GET THE FAULTY ONE OUT FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. AFTERWARDS WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF A VICE, I WAS ABLE TO CLOSE THE DEFECTIVE JACK AND IN DOING SO IT SOMEWHAT STRAIGHTENED THE SCREW AND FRAME. THE SCREW WAS SEVERELY CONCAVE, AND THE JACK FRAME LISTED A LOT WITH THE VEHICLE WEIGHT. I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE DOING THIS ON A CONCRETE DRIVEWAY AT HOME. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS FULLY ENGAGED, THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN PARK WITH THE ENGINE OFF, AND I HAD WOODEN BLOCKS BEHIND THE REAR TIRES. MY CONCERN WAS THAT HAD THIS HAPPENED ON THE SIDE OF A ROAD, AND I DIDN'T HAVE A SECOND JACK; OR HAD NOT NOTICED THE BENDING, MYSELF OR ANYONE ELSE IN A SIMILAR SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. IN DOING AN INTERNET SEARCH AFTERWARDS, I FOUND A NUMBER OF OWNERS WHO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR SCISSOR JACK FROM THE SAME MAKE, MODEL & YEAR.

LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING AND UNABLE TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC. WAS FORCED TO MOVE VEHICLE OFF ROADWAY. BEHAVED LIKE NOT GETTING ENOUGH GASOLINE. TO RESTORE BACK TO NORMAL, HAD TO SHUT ENGINE OFF AND RESTART ENGINE. WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE NORMAL WITH NO EXCESSIVE TEMP. OR HUMIDITY. ROADWAY WAS FLAT AND EVEN.
