2008 NISSAN ROGUE Power Train Problems

My CVT transmission is having major problems and I need to check if there is a recall please email [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Will not go up hill only 40 mph had the transmission rebuild still only 40 mph

AWD Lock kicking on by its self while driving. Catilac converter issues.

Sudden loss of power while driving on highway after a few hours. Car cannot exceed 40 MPH.

The transmission shudders, jerks, whines, roars loudly. Yes it’s available for inspection. I was driving up a hill with my grand children in the car, and it started shuddering. Didn’t seem to be getting gas at all. The tank was full. Then it started rolling backwards down the hill. Needless to say my grand children were scared to death as I was also. No I haven’t spoken to anyone about the problem, as I don’t know who to talk to? Nobody has looked at it yet. I figured the transmission went, so I haven’t bothere$ with reaching out, until a friend told me hers did the exact same thing. So we looked it up. Yes it seemed to be shuddering before but never lost power and rolled backwards. There were no warning lights, or signs of it quitting. There was no acceleration at all. Just slowly lost power. It was still running but when you push the gas pedal you got nothing. Not even the reving of the motor!03/29

I HAVE A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. HAVE HAD IT LESS THAN A YEAR. 3 DAYS AGO, WITHOUT WARNING, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SHAKING AND JERKING WHEN I WAS TAKING OFF FROM A RED LIGHT ON THE WAY TO TAKE MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL. PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND SAT A COUPLE MINS, SINCE I WASNT SURE WHAT WAS HAPPENING. AS I TRIED TO PULL BACK ONTO THE HIGHWAY THE ROGUE WOULDNT GO. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK HOME. HAD A TECHNICIAN PUT MY VEHICLE ON A COMPUTER. THE TRANSMISSION IS OUT OF IT.

Mileage: 130,000

WE TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO VAVOLINE AND THEY TOLD US THAT THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION PAN IS ALMOST RUSTED OUT AND WE HAVE A 4 MAJOR LEAKS UNDER OUR VEHICLE SO BAD THAT THE BLOCK UNDER THE VEHICLE AND THE FRONT AXEL IS WET FROM THE FLUID LEAKS. WE BOUGHT THE CAR TWO DAYS AGO AND BROUGHT IT BACK TO RETURN IT TODAY BECAUSE WE WERE NOT TOLD ABOUT ANY OF THESE ISSUES AND THEY TOLD US WE WERE NOT GOING TO GET OUR MONEY BACK. EVEN THOUGH IT WOULD NOT PASS A STATE EMISSIONS TEST WITH ALL THOSE LEAKS AND SHE NOT HAVE BEEN SOLD TO US.

STARTED VEHICLE AND DROVE WELL. STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION AND WHEN IT WAS MY TURN TO GO CAR RPMS WERE HIGH BUT CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. THE LIGHT CHANGE AND I FOUND MYSELF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION AND CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I TOOK MY FOOT OF GAS AND THEN IT JUST SPED UP AND I HAD TO USE THE BREAKS TO MAKE IT SLOW DOWN. ALSO IT WOULD SLOWDOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WHICH IS DANGEROUS CAUSE SPEED LIMIT WAS 70MPH AND I COULDN'T MOVE THE CAR TO GET IT OUT OF THE WAY.

BOUGHT CAR IN 2012 WITH 64,000 MILES. IN OCTOBER OF 2017 , WITH 121,000 MILES NOTICED A GRINDING NOISE WHEN TAKING OFF TOOK TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP , WAS INFORMED THAT TRANSMISSION WAS BAD. REPLACED TRANSMISSION FOR $3700. IN JUNE OF 2019 WITH 138,000 MILES STARTED HAVING A VIBRATION IN THE FRONT WHEN TAKING OFF IN BETWEEN 1500 AND 2500 RPM WAS TOLD THAT TRANSMISSION WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED IN THE INSIDE, THE PUMP WAS NOT WORKING AND METAL SHAVINGS. I AM WITHOUT A JOB AND HAD TO TAKE MY SEVERANCE PAY TO PAY $4,107 TO REPLACE ANOTHER TRANSMISSION. THAT DID NOT INCLUDE THE RIGHT TIE ROD THAT I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO REPLACE WHICH SEEMS TO GO OUT EVERY YEAR. FIXING BOTH LOWER CONTROL ARMS AND THE REAR SUSPENSION AT OVER $1200.00 THE WEEK BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION. THIS CAR IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF OIL CHANGES EVERY 3,000 MILES AND CONSTANT UPKEEP.

DRIVING ON A BUSY EXPRESSWAY, THERE WAS SUDDENLY A LOUD CLANGING UNDER THE CHASSIS. I STARTED DRIVING SLOWLY AND AGAIN THERE WAS AN EXTREMELY LOUD BANGING AGAINST THE CHASSIS. PULLED OF THE EXPRESSWAY WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED SLOWING DOWN. WHEN I STARTED TO PULL INTO THE FIRST MINIMALL I COULD FIND, THE CAR STARTED MOVING BACKWARDS AND NONE OF THE GEARS WOULD WORK. COULD NOT TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AS THE CAR CONTINUED TO GO REVERSE INTO TRAFFIC. FINALLY AFTER GETTING ASSISTANCE FROM SEVERAL PEOPLE HELPING ME GET THE CAR INTO THE PARKING LOT, I WAS ABLE TO BE TOWED TO MY GARAGE, WHERE IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE DRIVE SHAFT HAD BROKEN OFF, KNOCKING OFF A PIECE OF THE OD SENSOR AND THEN KNOCKED OUT THE EXHAUST PIPE WHICH THEN SNAPPED OFF THE SHIFT ASSEMBLY CABLE AND ALL THE GEARS. MY MECHANIC HAS NEVER SEEN ANYTHING AS BAD AS THIS. THE CAR IS COMPLETELY UNDRIVEABLE AND I SHUDDER TO THINK WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO MY FAMILY AND MYSELF AS WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. CURRENTLY MY CAR IS STILL AT THE MECHANIC'S WHERE HE IS WAITING FOR A DECISION FROM ME AS TO WHAT TO DO WITH THE CAR WHICH WILL COST $3,000 TO REPAIR WHICH IS WHAT THE TRADE VALUE IS ON THE CAR AND WHAT THE CAR WAS WORTH. NOW IT IS JUNK

I HAVE JUST RECENTLY NOTICED A BAD VIBRATION WITH MY NISSAN . IT SHAKES LIKE YOUR DRIVING OVER RUMBLE STICKS. EVEN WHEN YOUR AT A FULL STOP AND GIVE IT SOME GAS THE RUMBLE EFFECT HAPPEN RIGHT AWAY FROM A FULL STOP. IDK, WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. PLEASE HELP! ONCE YOU GET UP TO 30 MPH THE VIBRATION GOES AWAY. SLOW DOWN MAKE RIGHT/LEFT TURNS BOOM THE VIBRATIONS OF THE RIMBLE STICKS RIGHT THERE. SOMETHING IS WRONG.

DRIVING IN SUMMER OUR 2008 NISSAN ROGUE LIST POWER GOING UP HILLS. WE LOST POWER AND CAR SLOWED DOWN. STALKED OUR ONCE. WE WERE DOING HIGHWAY DRIVING

Mileage: 105,000

NISSAN ROGUE 2008 WAS BOUGHT IN 2008 SINCE BEGINNING DURING UPHILL DRIVE IN SUMMER CAR STARTS STALLING ON FREEWAY. THIS PROMPTED NISSAN TO CHANGE CVT ON 10/15/2013 AND AGAIN ON 10/10/15. IT LOOKS LIKE CVT IS GETTING HEATED WITH NO COOLING SUPPORT. ON A HIGHWAY , VEHICLE STARTS LOOSING POWER AND PUTTING OCCUPANT OF THE VEHICLE IN DANGER.

Mileage: 87,000

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.

TRANSMISSION IS FAILED NOW AND NOT OPERATING.

Mileage: 180,000

DRIVING BACK FROM SEATTLE AREA, CAR WAS ON HWY 2 IN WASHINGTON STATE, WHEN IT STOPPED FORWARD MOVEMENT. ENGINE STILL RUNNING, BUT NO FORWARD MOVEMENT, AND FLUID AND SMOKE COMMIMG OUT OF REAR END. BARELY GOT TO A SAFE SPOT AND PULLED OVER. CALLED INSURANCE CO. FOR TOW. HAD HOURS OF TRYING TO GET A TOW AFTER HOURS. TOOK CAR (ON A CAR CARRIER ) TO MY MECHANIC. HE DIAGNOSES IT AS TRANSMISSION. HE STATES IT NEEDS A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION. HAVE ONLY 117953 MILES ON IT. MAYBE STILL UNDER NISSAN WARRENTY...MAYBE.

Mileage: 117,953

PASSENGER AIRBAG DOES NOT WORK, TRANSMISSION WON'T WORK PROPERLY. VERY SLUGGISH START AND STUCK IN GEAR.

Mileage: 13,000

I GOT THIS CAR FROM MY DAUGHTER IN MAY. THIS PROBLEM STARTED IN JUNE, STOPPED FOR A WHILE & NOW IN WINTER (JANUARY) IT CAME BACK & IS GETTING WORSE TO THE POINT I WON'T DRIVE ON FREEWAY ANYMORE. DECELERATES AT FREEWAY SPEEDS COMBINED WITH JERKING MOTION. ALSO DOES NOT ALWAYS ACCELERATE (DOGS OUT) WHILE PRESSING ON GAS FROM COMPLETE STOP OR TRYING TO ACCELERATE IN SLOW TRAFFIC CAUSING CARS BEHIND TO SLAM ON BRAKES.

Mileage: 114,000

CAR WAS MAKING NOISE, HAD NISSAN DIAGNOSE IT AND WAS FOUND TO BE TRANMISSION

Mileage: 125,000

ROAR AND GRINDING NOISE UNDER CAR BELIEVE TO BE TRANSMISSION / TRANSFER CASE OR BOTH. DRIVE GOOD SHIFTS GOOD RUNS GOOD. BELIEVE IF SOMETHING LOCKS UP IN THIS , IT COULD CAUSE A ACCIDENT BY COMING APART. CHECKING IT OUT FOUND LOTS OF OTHER WITH SAME PROBLEM. IF THEY KNOW OF THE DESIGN PROBLEM LOOK LIKE THEY COULD CORRECT OR REPLACE BAD PARTS. LOOK LIKE NISSAN DID NOT CARE ABOUT IT OR IF IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDEND AND PUT OUT A BAD DESIGN ANYWAY. WITH ALL THE COMPLAINS ON THE WEB, LOOKS LIKE NISSAN JUST PUSHING IT TO THE BACK AND WAITING ON TIME TO GO BY. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND HALF. JUST THINK IT WRONG!

THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 2008 NISSAN ROGUE IS FAILING DUE TO OVERHEATING.THE OVERHEATING CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL AND THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT EVEN IF I REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION, AT $4000, THE NEW ONE WILL LIKELY FAIL AS WELL. I'M TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS OVERHEATING BECAUSE THE COOLING FAN IS NOT POWERFUL ENOUGH. I'M ALSO BEING TOLD THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSAN BUT THEY WILL NOT PROVIDE A CHEAPER FIX IN ORDER TO PROFIT FROM NISSAN OWNERS GETTING STUCK WITH A BILL FOR $4000 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. $4000 IS QUOTE FROM AAMCO TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT FOR 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE ECONOMIC SOLUTION.

Mileage: 72,000

YEARS BACK IWE HAVE DRIOVE OUR NISSAN 2008 TO A TRIP TO READING CA WE JUST HAVE BOUGHT THE CAR FROM A DEALER IN HAYWARD HANDA. WHILE WE WERE IN THE HILL CAR COULD CHANGE GEAR OR POWER WE WERE DRIVING 65 TO 70 MPR AND WENT DOWN TO 20 ON THE FREEWAY. VERY DANGEROUS SPECIALLY POOLING OVER AND HAVE THE CAR RELAX THIS WAS WHEN THE CAR HAD ONLY 70,000 MILES . WE LATER RECEIVED A LETTER FROM NISSAN THAT NEED TO RECALL AND UPDATE COMPUTER .WE TOOK IT IN AND MY HUSBAND COMPLAINED TO THEM THAT IT WAS MAKING A NOISE WHEN WE ACCELERATED AND HE ALSO MENTION THE FIRST TRIP AND SAID TO US EVERYTHING WAS OKAY . WE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM AFTER THAT MY HUSBAND ONLY DRIVE IT TO WORK AND HOME. WE RECENTLY TOOK CAR TO OREGON SAME ROUTE READING AND AS JEW ARE HITTING THE HILL SAME PROBLEM HAPPEN. I INVESTIGATED IT THIS HAPPEN TO THIS CAR AND A LOT OF OTHER CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE THIS CAR HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM CALL CUSRTSERVICE AND REFER US TO CONSUMER AFFFAIR WE ARE NOW SPEAKING TO A COSUMER AFFAIR REPRESENTATIVE THEY MADE US PAY TWICE A DIAGNOSTIC IN OREGON NOW IN CALIFORNIA AND I'M PENDING WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO OR HELP ME WITH THIS CAR. MY CAR NOW HAS 123000 THEY HAVE A EXTENDED THEIR WARRANTY TO 120000 . MY PROBLEM WITH NISSAN IS THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN INTO THEIR DEALERSHIP BEFORE THEY SAID IT WAS FINE AND IF I KNEW ABOUT THERE EXTENDED WARRANTY I WOULD HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN. NOW THE SECOND DIAGNOSTIC IN CALIFORNIA THAT I HAVE TO PAY 160 THEY SAID THAT I NEED NEW TRANSMISSION AND PENDING IN HOW THEY GOING TO HELP ME. THIS NOT ONLY IT WAS DANGEROUS BECAUSE I HAVE MY 8 MONTH DAUGHTER AND MY SON IN THE CAR AND HAVE IT STOP AND ONLY GO 20 MPR IN A HIGHWAY WHERE TRUCKS ARE PASSING FAST. AND ALSO STOP EVERY 20 MIN IN THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO LET CAR COOL DOWN. I HOPE THEY CAN DO SOMETHING BEFORE A FAMILY LOSES THERE LIFE FOR A NEGLECTED CAR THAT NISSAN

CAR WILL LOOSE ACCELERATION WHEN DRIVING ON A FLAT HIGHWAY FOR NO KNOWN REASON, IT WILL GO FROM 70 MPH TO 30 PMH AND STRUGGLE TO MOVE. PRESSING ACCESLERATOR IS LIKE STEPPING ON AIR. GOING UP A SLIGHT INCLINE CAR WILL LOOSE ACCELERATION, AFTER 20-30 MILES DRIVEN WILL LOOSE ACCELERATION, AT STOP SIGNS, RED LIGHTS WILL LOOSE ACCELERATION WHEN GOING FROM BRAKES TO ACCELERATION NOTHING WILL HAPPEN CAR WILL NOT MOVE. CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN LESS THAN 5K MILES SINCE PURCHASED USED FROM DEALERSHIP. ALSO CANNOT USE OVERDRIVE MODE, ENGINE NOISE IS VERY LOUD AND GRINDING ROUGH SOUNDS ARE HEARD .IF USING CRUISE CONTROL ACCELERATION ISSUES PLUS ENGINE SOUND WILL BOTH TURN UP AT SAME TIME. THIS IS BOTH HIGHWAY DRIVING, CITY STREET DRIVING AND ALWAYS WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION.

Mileage: 126,000

OUR CAR INITIALLY WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FROM THE LIGHTS, SEEMED LIKE IT WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR. THANKFULLY WE WERE ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD AS IT WAS ON CA 99 , A PRETTY BUSY ROAD. AFTER A RESTART IT SEEMED FINE, UNTIL THE NEXT DAY WHEN WE WERE DRIVING HOME TO SOUTH LAKE TAHOE. THE TRANSMISSION WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND WOULD NOT GO OVER 3000RPM, PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS AS WE WERE DRIVING UP A MOUNTAIN ROAD AT NIGHT . SINCE THEN WE HAVE DRIVEN IT VERY LITTLE, BUT IT JOLTS REGULARLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WE HAVE EXPERIENCED SUCH SYMPTOMS AND THE SECOND TRANSMISSION IN THIS VEHICLE. THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT 69273 MILES, VEHICLE NOW HAS129000.

Mileage: 129,000

AFTER DRIVING FOR A WHILE, MY NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION STOPS WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN I TAKE OFF FROM A STOP AT A LIGHT OR INTERSECTION, THE CAR INITIALLY TAKES OFF FOR A FEW FEET, BUT THEN THE TRANSMISSION STALLS, AND THE CAR LITERALLY CREEPS THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AT A SNAILS PACE. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN IT OCCURS IN A BUSY INTERSECTION. YOU DO NOT KNOW IT IS HAPPENING UNTIL YOU ARE ALREADY IN THE INTERSECTION AS IT FEELS NORMAL WHEN YOU FIRST HIT THE GAS, AND THEN IT GOES INTO WHAT IS BEST DESCRIBED AS A VERY LOW GEAR. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE FROM THIS. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND EXTENDED ITS WARRANTY ON THE CVT TO 10 YEARS AND 120,000 MILE, BUT NEVER ISSUED A RECALL THAT I AM AWARE. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS ISSUE DID NOT OCCUR WITH MY VEHICLE UNTIL AFTER THE MILEAGE STATED. IT MAY HAVE TO DO WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE AND A FAIL SAFE MODE. THERE IS DISCUSSION OF SUCH ON THE INTERNET.

Mileage: 146,500

"TAKATA RECALL" I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND STOP FOR THE RED LIGHT,THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I WENT TO PULL INTO THE INTERSECTION FOR A LEFT TURN AND MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I WAS LUCKY I WAS NOT REAR ENDED BY THE CARS BEHIND ME. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS INTERNAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I ALSO HAD THE SAME DIAGNOSIS BACK IN 2013 WITH A WHISTLING AND KNOCKING SOUND. IT WAS CALLED A CVT PROBLEM BUT IN 2013 IT WAS STILL UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY SO A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS PUT IN FREE OF CHARGE. THIS TIME I AM ASK TO PAY FOR A TRANSMISSION OUT OF POCKET THAT I KNOW IS DEFECTIVE AND IT WILL CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT ONE DAY. MY CAR IS AT HUDSON NISSAN CHARLESTON SC 29406 WITH A PRICE TAG OF $5101.00.

Mileage: 148,000

I LIVE IN THE DENVER AREA, AND MY DAUGHTER IS IN COLLEGE IN UTAH. SHE COMPLAINED FOR THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS WHILE IN SCHOOL THAT THE CAR WOULD SPORADICALLY JUST STOP ACCELERATING. SHE ALSO SAID SHE HAD NOT CHANGED THE OIL IN A WHILE, SO I THOUGHT THAT'S WHAT HER PROBLEM WAS. SHE THEN CHANGED THE OIL, AND CONTINUED TELLING ME THAT IT WOULD JUST STOP ACCELERATING, AND SHE SAID SHE WAS SCARED TO DRIVE IT, BECAUSE SHE FELT SHE WOULD GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. HER SCHOOL IS IN SOUTH CENTRAL UTAH, AND THE CLOSEST NISSAN SERVICE CENTER WAS 100 + MILES AWAY, SO I RECOMMENDED SHE TAKE IT TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC, WHO FILLED IT WITH TRANSMISSION FLIUD. I THEN TOLD HER TO TAKE IT TO THE NEAREST TRANSMISSION SHOP, (PROVO, 100 + MILES AWAY), AND HE TOLD US ABOUT THE NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUES, AND IT WOULD BE $3900 TO REPLACE. THE CAR NOW HAS 123,900 MILES ON IT. AFTER RESEARCHING, AND FINDING OUT THAT NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 120,000 MILES, WHICH I KNEW THAT THE CAR WAS OVER THE WARRANTY, BUT DECIDED TO HAVE IT TOWED TO KEN GARFF NISSAN, NEARBY. THE VERDICT, REPLACE THE CVT TRANSMISSION AT MY EXPENSE, FOR $4600. I TOLD THE TECHNICIAN THAT WHAT'S THE USE OF PAYING THAT MUCH MONEY, AND THEN HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPEN AGAIN. HE EXPLAINED THAT NOW THEY ALSO INSTALL A CVT COOLING UNIT, WHICH IS SUPPOSE TO FIX THE PROBLEMS. I LET HIM KNOW THAT THAT'S WHAT NISSAN SHOULD HAVE ORIGINALLY DONE, RECALL THE TRANSMISSION, AND INSTALL THE COOLING UNIT. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS, AND FILED A COMPLAINT. THEY CALLED THE NEXT DAY, (TODAY), AND SAID THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING, AND CLOSED THE CASE! THE INVESTIGATOR SAID THAT THIS ONLY HAPPENED IN THE ROUGES FROM 2003 THROUGH 2010. I LET HIM KNOW THAT THAT WAS NOT TRUE, AND IS HAPPENING TO SEVERAL OTHER MODELS WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION, UP TO 2015! HE SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BUT TO PUT ME IN A NEW VEHICLE!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED SEVERE FRONT END VIBRATION WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE FAILURE WAS CONFIRMED; HOWEVER, THE REMEDY WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED NEW TIRES. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS DEFECTIVE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 115,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR A YEAR NOW. THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. THE CAR REVS UP WITH NO APPLIED ACCELERATION. IT WILL SLOW DOWN TO 45 MPH AND I'LL HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD CUT IT OFF AND RESTART THE CAR AND IT'LL STRAIGHTEN OUT FOR ANOTHER 30-45 MILES AND REPEAT. IT'S PRETTY DANGEROUS BC THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE. I'VE READ A LOT OF FORUMS AND IT SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM IN MOST NISSANS. NOT JUST THE ROGUE. I FEEL AS IF THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE ON IMMEDIATE RECALL.

Mileage: 120,000

I WAS DRIVING IN HIGHWAY CONDITIONS (55MPH IN 55MPH ZONE) WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY DECELERATED AND WOULD NOT GET ABOVE 30MPH. CARS BEHIND ME HAD TO SWERVE AROUND ME IN ORDER TO GET AROUND ME WITH THE SUDDEN DECELERATION. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT OFF THE HIGHWAY & ONTO LOCAL ROADS. EVERY TIME I HAD TO ACCELERATE AFTER A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, THE CAR WOULD NOT INITIALLY ACCELERATE DESPITE ME PUSHING FULL DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR. THIS REPEATEDLY ALMOST RESULTED IN MY BEING HIT BY CARS BEHIND ME. I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY MAKE IT HOME. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT I AM BEYOND THE WARRANTY EXTENSION (ABOUT 9,000 MILES PAST THE 120,000 EXTENSION), SO I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL WITH THE # OF COMPLAINTS ALL ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. ALSO, IF THE MANUFACTURER HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY, DOESN'T THAT MEAN THEY MUST BE AWARE THAT IT IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM?! IT IS SO DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING AT 55 AND SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING DECELERATE SIGNIFICANTLY. IT IS A WONDER THAT NO ONE HAS BEEN HURT (& UNFORTUNATELY PROBABLY ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS). THIS APPEARS TO BE WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR & MODEL OF ROGUE.

Mileage: 129,000

THE 2008 NISSAN ROGUE WE PURCHASED IN MARCH 2009 HAS EXPERIENCED CONTINUAL CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURES. THE FIRST FAILURE WAS MAY 2009 AND THE CVT WAS REPLACED. THE PART WAS FOUND TO BE MALFUNCTIONING AFTER DETERMINING THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY AND WAS EXPERIENCING HIGH RPMS WHILE DRIVING. THE CVT WAS REPLACED AGAIN IN APRIL 2014 AFTER LOSING FUNCTIONALITY IN A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION OCCURRED WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE EXPRESSWAY AT WHICH POINT THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY EXPERIENCED HEIGHTENED RPMS, BEGAN DECELERATING AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE GREATER THAN 20MPH. WE SAFELY EXITED THE EXPRESSWAY AT AN APPROACHING EXIT AND COASTED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP LESS THAN THREE BLOCKS FROM THE EXPRESSWAY EXIT. NISSAN RECENTLY ALERTED US THAT THE CURRENT CVT TRANSMISSION IN OUR VEHICLE WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN DESPITE HAVING ONLY 20,000 MILES SINCE THE REPLACEMENT IN 2014. NISSAN HAS DECLINED TO COVER THIS FAULTY PART IN THE VEHICLE AND HAS OFFERED INSTEAD TO PROVIDE A LONGER WARRANTY IF WE PURCHASE A BRAND NEW VEHICLE INSTEAD.

I WAS HEARING & FEELING A NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING SO I TOOK MY CAR IN TO THE NISSAN DEALERS SERVICE CENTER TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. THEY STATED THAT MY TRANSMISSION AND TRANSFER CASE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NISSAN HAS EXTENDED THE TRANSMISSION WARRANTY TO 120K MILES BUT DOESN'T BACK THE TRANSFER CASE OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT RELATES TO THIS KNOW ISSUE. THEY SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE FOR ALL ISSUES CONCERNING THIS MATTER.

VEHICLE STARTED WITH A WHINING NOISE WHICH EVENTUALLY WAS FOLLOWED BY LOSS OF SPEED/POWER. ACCELERATION AFTER STOPPING WAS REDUCED TO A CRAWL, ALSO GRINDING NOISES AND SHAKING AND VEHICLE WANTING TO STALL. I AM NOW UNABLE TO DRIVE AS I AM FEARFUL OF DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES. THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW AND STILL OWE $6500, AND A NEW TRANSMISSION RUNNING APPROX $3000 THE EXPENSE DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. NISSAN KNOWINGLY SOLD VEHICLES TO CONSUMERS TO FILL THEY'RE POCKETS PUTTING ALL AT RISK AND FAIL TO SUPPORT THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT!

I HAD A NISSAN ROGUE CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUE LAST YEAR. OUR CAR HAD MULTIPLE ACCELERATION ISSUES THAT WE GOT LUCKY WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY ACCIDENTS. ONE OF MANY ISSUE WAS ON LABOR DAY WEEKEND WE DECIDED TO GO ON A VACATION TO RELAX AFTER DAYS AND WEEKS OF HARD WORK AT THE OFFICE. AGAIN OUR VACATION WAS CUT SHORT. IT TOOK US 6 HOURS TO DRIVE A 2.5 HOUR DRIVE. I HAD TO STOP, LET THE TRANSMISSION COOL DOWN AND DRIVE AGAIN WITH A SPEED OF LESS THAN 50MPH SOMETIMES TAKING THE STREETS TO KEEP THE SPEED DOWN. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, UNDER WARRANTY, THEY WANTED TO DO A FEW MINOR SERVICES. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD FIXED THE PROBLEM AND THAT THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY MORE ISSUES. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND AGAIN. FINALLY, I OPENED A CASE THROUGH NISSAN AND GOT MY CAR A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION HAS STARTING PROBLEMS AGAIN AND I AM REALLY TIRED OF THIS. I GOT A CALL FROM MY WIFE THIS MORNING THAT SHE WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. SHE HAD LOSS OF ACCELERATION RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION AS THE LIGHT TURNED RED AND AND CARS FROM THE OTHER SIDE STARTED TO GO STRAIGHT TO HER HONKING THEIR HORN. SHE SAID THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE AND FINALLY STARTED TO MOVE VERY SLOWLY. SHE WAS TERRIFIED AND CRYING. I AM REALLY TIRED OF THIS AND REALLY ITS UNACCEPTABLE. OUR ROUGE IS OUR ONLY CAR AND MY WIFE DRIVES IT TO AND FROM WORK AND IT IS AT THIS POINT THAT I CAN NOT ACCEPT THIS ISSUE ANYMORE, IT IS A DANGER TO MY FAMILY. I HAVE HAD IT WITH THIS CAR.

ON AN OUT OF TOWN TRIP TO HEREFORD TEXAS FROM FT. WORTH TX., VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 60 MPH HALFWAY TO MY DESTINATION. AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. TRANSMISSIONS IS ACTING UP AGAIN AFTER 40K MILES AND CANT BE TRUSTED TO BE ON THE ROAD AS THE YOU CAN STEP ON THE GAS ALL THE WAY AND SPEED WILL NOT EXCEED 60 MPH. IT SEEMS TO MESS UP WHEN ON LONGER DRIVES OF OVER 30 MINUTES WHEN THE TRANSMISSION GETS HOT.

WHILE DRIVING 2008 NISSAN ROGUE ON HIGHWAY 70 IN NEW MEXICO AT POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED RAPID LOSS OF SPEED AND POWER IN WHICH PRESSING DOWN ON ACCELERATOR HAD NO EFFECT ON VEHICLE. PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT VEHICLE OFF. INSPECTED VEHICLE FOR ANY OBVIOUS SIGNS OF SOURCE OF MALFUNCTION. RESTARTED VEHICLE AFTER 20 MINUTES AND RESUMED TRAVEL WITH NO ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS ON THIS TRIP. THIS MALFUNCTION HAS REPEATED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS SINCE, WITH MORE REGULARITY TO DATE. SEEMS TO OCCUR MOST OFTEN WHEN DRIVING TO A HIGHER ELEVATION AFTER AN HOUR OR MORE OF CONTINUOUS OPERATION. WHEN MALFUNCTION OCCURS, ENGINE WILL NOT EXCEED 2500-3000 RPMS EVEN WITH GAS PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED. THIS HAPPENED FIRST IN JANUARY 2014 AND I TOOK IT TO NISSAN DEALER IN ALBUQUERQUE WHO SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE WORKED FINE FOR OVER A YEAR AND TWO MONTHS AGO AGAIN STARTED WITH THIS PROBLEM. MALFUNCTION IS INTERMITTENT, BUT RECENTLY MORE FREQUENT. I BROUGHT IT TO A NISSAN DEALER IN LAS CRUCES NM BUT THEY DIDNT HAVE A TRANSMISSION TECH IN THAT DAY. I WAS CHARGED A $120 DIAGNOSTIC FEE AND TOLD THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG BUT TO BRING IT BACK ON A DAY WHEN TRANSMISSION TECH WILL BE IN. ITS AN HOUR AND HALF DRIVE FOR ME EACH WAY. HAVE SINCE READ MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET FROM OTHER OWNERS OF SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THIS PROBLEM.

ON A ROAD TRIP FROM LOS ANGELES TO LAS VEGAS, ENCOUNTERING NORMALLY HOT TEMPERATURES, AND AFTER SEVERAL HOURS OF DRIVING, THE CAR LOST POWER COULD ONLY ATTAIN SPEEDS OF 50 MPH OR LESS UP HILLS. THIS IS A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER TO THE OCCUPANTS WHEN OTHER CARS ARE EASILY GOING 70 - 75 MPH. IF YOU PULL OFF THE ROAD, THE CARS HAVE A TENDENCY TO LURCH FORWARD AND WITH DANGEROUSLY POOR ACCELERATION. FROM READING THE CAR FORUMS, THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL, WHERE THE CVT TRANSMISSION APPARENTLY OVER-HEATS AND PUTS THE CAR INTO "LIMP" MODE. THE FIX HAS BEEN TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSIONS AND INSTALL AN ADDITIONAL TRANSMISSION COOLER, HOWEVER MANY DEALERS TRY TO CHARGE THE CUSTOMER FOR THE COOLER, AND THE NISSAN FACTORY IS NOW HESITANT TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSIONS EVEN THOUGH THEIR LONGEVITY AND RELIABILITY HAS UNDOUBTEDLY BEEN COMPROMISED IF THE OVER-HEATING PROBLEM WAS EXPERIENCED. THERE SHOULD BE A MANDATORY RECALL DEMANDED BY THE NTSB BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR INJURED DUE TO THIS LACK OF ACCELERATION. THE PROBLEM IS DIFFICULT TO REPRODUCE AT THE DEALER BECAUSE IT INVOLVES A MULTI-HOUR ROAD TRIP AND HILLS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, PLEASE.

AFTER 5 HOURS OF OPERATION, WHILE CLIMING UPGRADE NEAR CHARLOTTE NC, VEHICLE SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR AND LOST POWER. THIS REPEATED OVER A SERIES OF INCLINES FOR THE NEXT 50 MILES AND NEARLY RESULTED IN SEVERAL REAR END ACCIDENTS. DURING THESE INCIDENTS,THE VEHICLE BOTH LOST POWER AND THE CRUISE CONTROL UNEXPECTEDLY SHUT OFF. LOCAL NISSAN DEALER CONFIRMED IT WAS DUE TO A KNOWN HEAT ISSUE WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS, AND AN ADVISORY WAS OUT TO INSPECT AND ADVISE WHEN REPORTED. NISSAN INSTRUCTED AN ADDITIONAL COOLING APPLIANCE BE ADDED TO KEEP THE FLUID COOL SO OPERATION WAS NORMAL. ISSUE IS THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BASED ON ASSUMPTION THAT ANY VEHICLE WILL DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR SEVERAL HOURS AND EVENTUALLY HAVE TO ENCOUNTER RELATIVLY EASY UPGRADES ON OUR HIGHWAYS. TRANSMISSION FAILURE UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES IS INEVITABLE, AND SO WILL BE POTENTIALLY FATAL OR AT LEAST INJURY INDUCING INCIDENTS.

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.

ON 11/20/14 I WAS ON HIGHWAY 80 DRIVING FROM ROSEVILLE CA TO PALO ALTO CA . I WAS IN THE FAR LEFT LANE (4 TOTAL) IN HEAVY TRAFFIC DOING APRX 50 MPH. WITH NO WARNING I COULDN'T ACCELERATE AND THE ENGINE ONLY REVVED WHEN I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL. I CUT OFF SEVERAL CARS TO GET TO THE RIGHT SIDE SHOULDER. AFTER I CALLED AAA A CHP SHOWED UP TO SEE IF I WAS OK. I EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED AND A TOW TRUCK WOULD ARRIVE IN ABOUT 2 HOUR DUE TO TRAFFIC. THE OFFICER SAID BECAUSE OF MY LOCATION I NEEDED TO REMAIN IN MY CAR UNTIL A TOW TRUCK ARRIVED. HE ALSO SAID HE WOULD REMAIN WITH ME UNTIL HELP ARRIVED. I WAS TOWED TO A SHOP IN FAIRFIELD CA (CLOSEST CITY). PAID $3,758 TO HAVE AN INDEPENDENT SHOP INSTALL A NEW NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION. FOUND OUT LATER NISSAN HAD EXTENDED THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES. MY CAR WAS WELL WITHIN THE WARRANTY REQUIREMENTS. I HAVE SPOKEN TO 2 NISSAN REPRESENTATIVES AND BOTH TOLD ME BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T DO THE REPAIR THERE WAS NOTHING THEY WOULD DO. I EXPLAINED I WAS FROM OREGON AND NEEDED TO BE HOME BY SATURDAY TO WORK. THE SHOP THAT DID THE WORK HAD ME ON THE ROAD THE NEXT DAY. THEY SAID BECAUSE THEY INSTALLED A NISSAN TRANSMISSION IT WOULD BE WARRANTED BY NISSAN. I ASKED IF I COULD SEND AN EMAIL TO SOMEONE HIGHER UP EXPLAINING MY SITUATION AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO NEED. I ASKED IF THEY WERE RECORDING OUR CONVERSATIONS AND WAS TOLD YES. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING IT'S ILLEGAL TO RECORD A CONVERSATION WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE OR APPROVAL. I HAVE CHECKED ONLINE AND AMAZED HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH NISSAN.

WE LOST MOMENTUM IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND WERE LUCKY TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED IN MARCH 2008. IT HAD A KNOWN ISSUE WHERE GRINDING NOISES WERE COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. NISSAN FINALLY RELEASED A FIX AND MY CAR WAS UPDATED ON 11/30/2009. I BELIEVE THE CVT WAS DEFECTIVE OR DAMAGED BECAUSE OF A SLOW RESPONSE BY NISSAN. THE CAR WAS 20 MONTHS OLD BEFORE THE COMPANY REPAIRED THE VEHICLE SO THAT THE GRINDING NOISE WASN'T PRESENT. I ASKED NISSAN FOR DATA ON FAILURES AND - OF COURSE - THEY SAID THAT WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

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.

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.

I WAS ALMOST RUN INTO BY THE CAR BEHIND ME. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND EVERY TIME I HAVE ONLY NARROWLY AVOIDED A COLLISION. NISSAN SAYS THEY HAVE A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER THE PARTS ARE ON RESTRICTION, MEANING THAT THE DEALER CAN'T EVEN GET THEM IN. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND A RECALL ISSUED ASAP BEFORE PEOPLE START DYING FROM THIS PROBLEM. *TR

MY GIRLFRIEND AND I OWN A NISSAN ROGUE THAT HAS A FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSION THAT HAS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED TWICE WITHIN THE PAST TWO YEARS. WE DISCOVERED THAT IT WAS FAULTY BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DECELERATES WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. AS THE CAR SLOWS, YOU CAN PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR, BUT THE CAR WILL NOT GO ABOVE WHATEVER SPEED IT WAS LOWERED TO. IF YOU NEED TO SLOW FOR WHATEVER REASON, THE CAR WILL BE RELEGATED TO A CRAWL WHICH IS A HUGE DANGER ON THE FREEWAY. WITH THAT SAID, NISSAN REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION INITIALLY AND WHILE WE BELIEVED OUR PROBLEMS WERE SOLVED, ABOUT A MONTH AGO WE DISCOVERED THAT THE CAR WAS ONCE AGAIN DECELERATING WHILE WE WERE BRINGING MY GIRLFRIEND'S YEAR AND A HALF YEAR OLD NIECE BACK HOME WITH US FROM LOS ANGELES. THANKFULLY WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE IT BACK HOME AND IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. AGAIN, IT WAS THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS TRANSMISSION AND AGAIN WE GOT IT REPLACED. WE WERE TOLD BY THE NISSAN MECHANIC THAT THE PHOENIX HEAT QUICKLY CAUSES THE CVT TRANSMISSION TO BREAK DOWN AND TOLD US THAT IT WILL LIKELY HAPPEN AGAIN WITHIN TWO YEARS. IT WAS AT THIS POINT THAT WE DECIDED TO CONTACT NISSAN AND PUSH FOR A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THIS TRANSMISSION. WE CAN'T AFFORD IT FINANCIALLY AND WE DON'T WANT TO RISK IT AND CONTINUE ON WITH OUR VEHICLE IF WE KNOW THAT IF WE PUSH IT, IT COULD BE UNSAFE. I ESCALATED THIS ISSUE THROUGH THEIR CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT, BUT AFTER SPEAKING WITH THEIR REPRESENTATIVES, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT THEY CONTRADICTED THEIR OWN MECHANIC AND REFUSED TO ADMIT THAT THIS IS A REAL ISSUE. INSTEAD THEY OPTED FOR A LETS WAIT AND SEE APPROACH. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE FOR MYSELF, MY FAMILY, AND ANYONE ELSE WHO MAY BE AFFECTED BY THIS FAULTY TRANSMISSION. *TR

AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND BEGAN DECELERATING RAPIDLY. AFTER PUSHING THE GAS MULTIPLE TIMES, THE VEHICLE REMAINED UNRESPONSIVE AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO 20MPH WHICH WAS VERY DANGEROUS IN AN 80 MPH SPEED ZONE ON A STATE HIGHWAY. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE FOR 30 MINUTES. UPON STARTING IT UP AGAIN AND CONTINUING ON MY TRIP, THE VEHICLE REPEATED THE PROBLEM WITHIN ANOTHER HOUR OF DRIVING. WHEN THIS OCCURS NOW, VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE FROM A FULL STOP. THIS IS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS IN TOLL BOOTHS OR RED LIGHTS, AS OTHER CARS TAKE THE LIBERTY OF DRIVING BY AS I AM PUMPING THE GAS. RANDOMLY THE CAR WILL KICK BACK INTO GEAR AND JUT OUT INTO TRAFFIC, WHICH HAS ALMOST CAUSED TWO DIFFERENT ACCIDENTS. *TR

WE BOUGHT A CAR LAST MONDAY ON MAY 26, 2014 AT ANTWERPEN NISSAN SECURITY DEALERSHIP (1701 WOODLAWN DRIVE, BALTIMORE, MD 21207). PLEASE FIND THE CAR DETAILS: YEAR: 2008 MAKE: NISSAN MODEL: ROGUE BODY TYPE: 4DR SL FWD TRIM: SL BLACK VIN: [XXX] ODOMETER: 78321 WITH A DEALER WARRANTY FOR ONE MONTH OR 1000 MILES, POWERTRAIN ONLY ; FOR THE TOTAL CASH DELIVERED PRICE OF $13,000.00 (THIRTEEN THOUSAND US DOLLARS) ALREADY PAID BY CHECK ON MAY 26, 2014. THE SECOND DAY WE WERE FACING PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR AS THE MOTOR WAS OVERHEATED IN VERY FEW MILES, IT WAS SMELLING SMOKY INSIDE AND THE MOTOR WAS MAKING CRACKING NOISES EVEN WHEN IT WAS TURNED OFF. WE CALLED IMMEDIATELY THE SALES MANAGER AND LET HIM KNOW THAT WE WANT TO TURN THE CAR BACK AS IT IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE DAY AFTER WE ALMOST GET AN ACCIDENT IN THE TRAFFIC THAT PUT OUR LIFE IN DANGER. THE CAR LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING: GAS PEDAL WAS FULLY PUSHED DOWN AND THE TACHOMETER SHOWED 3500 RPM WHILE THE SPEED HARDLY REACHED 20 MPH FOR ABOUT 2 MILES TILL WE PULLED OVER AT BEL AIR ROAD. WE DECIDED TO CALL THE GENERAL MANAGER FOR TURNING THE CAR BACK AS IT WAS WITHIN THE WARRANTY AND I WAS VERY CLEAR TO HIM THAT I DO NOT WANT THAT CAR ANY MORE. HE AGREED TO DO SO, AND ON LAST FRIDAY MAY 30TH, 2014, THEY CARRIED THE CAR FROM OUR HOME LOCATION. WE REQUESTED THE MONEY BACK. SINCE THAT DAY WE HAVE BEING WAITING FOR DAYS AND HOURS IN THE DEALERSHIP OFFICES FOR A RESPONSE OF OUR REQUEST, BUT THEY LIED TO US ALL THE TIME AND LAST NIGHT AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS ON DEAF PHONE CALLS THE RESPONSE WAS: NO, THEY ARE NOT GIVING US THE MONEY BACK.

WHEN DRIVING UP HILL, AFTER LOSING ACCELERATION WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC FOLLOWING, WHERE OTHER VEHICLES HAVE TO SLAM ON BRAKES OR DANGEROUSLY SWERVE TO GET OF THE WAY OF OUR NISSAN WHICH IS BARELY MOVING FORWARD. SEVERAL SEMIS HAVE HAD TO MAKE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS MANEUVERS IN ORDER NOT TO REAR-END OUR NISSAN.

VEHICLE HAS SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER DUE TO OVERHEATING OF TRANSMISSION FLUID CAUSING VEHICLE TO GO INTO A LIMP MODE REDUCING SPEED TO APPROXIMATELY 40-50 MPH. HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR 2 OR MORE HOURS. ONCE COMING TO A STOP, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL...COMPLETELY POWERLESS. HAVE HAD TO A NISSAN DEALER 4 TIMES RECEIVING NOTHING MORE THAN A BAND-AID TEMPORARY REPAIR BY DRAINING SOME OF THE TRANS FLUID RATHER THAN INSTALLING A BETTER TRANSMISSION COOLING SYSTEM. NISSAN HAS KNOW ABOUT HUNDREDS OF CASES OVER THE COURSE OF 7 YEARS AND TO DATE HAS NO CREDIBLE REPAIR, THUS TOTALLY IGNORING CONSUMERS SAFETY. THERE ARE TENS OF REVIEWS REGARDING THIS BY CONCERNED CONSUMERS. THIS IS A FATALITY( IF NOT ALREADY) WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR

IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BUT THE RPM OF THE ENGINE CLIMBED WHEN I PRESSED THE PEDAL. I CAME TO A STOP AND I COULD HEAR THE TRANSMISSION MAKING AN WHINING NOISE. I CHECKED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND DID NOT SEE ANY FLUID LEAKS OR ANY DAMAGE. WHEN I GOT BACK ON THE ROAD THE CAR WORKED NORMALLY FOR A WHILE BUT THEN BEGAN TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS.

DEALERSHIP INDICATES TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $3500. THEY WILL NOT ENTERTAIN ANY WARRANTY COMPENSATION AS WE HAVE PASSES THE EXTENDED 120,000 WARRANTY.

I NOTICED A WHINNING SOUND COMING FROM MY VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO THEN REPORTED IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. I THEN TOOK MY CAR TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS THE CVT TRANSMISSION (CARRIER BEARING AREA). I WAS NOT AWARE THAT THERE HAD BEEN ISSUES WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS IN NISSAN. NISSAN HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY HOWEVER DUE TO ME THE CONSUMER NOT BEING MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE THAT NISSAN WAS HAVING, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT I SHOULD BE ON THE LOOK TO SEE IF MY CAR WAS HAVING ISSUES UNTIL I HEARD THE WHINNING SOUND. I DRIVE A LOT FOR WORK, THEREFORE MY CAR HAS 123,233 MILES ON IT BUT IS VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS NO OTHER ISSUES. I AM CURRENTLY BATTLING WITH NISSAN TO HAVE THEM FIX THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT (CVT TRANSMISSION). NISSAN SHOULD BE MADE TO CORRECT THESE DEFECTS IN THEIR PRODUCTS REGARDLESS. NISSAN KNOWS OF THE ISSUE, BUT FROM THE RESEARCH I'VE BEEN DOING ONLINE THEY ARE NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS. AMERICANS SHOULD NOT SPEND THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY ON PRODUCTS THAT ARE DEFECTIVE AND THEN COMPANIES BAILING OUT. COMPANIES NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY! *TR

THE CVT TRANSMISSION IN THIS VEHICLE HAS ALREADY FAILED ONCE AND WAS REPLACED. THE BRAND NEW CVT HAS LESS THAN 5K MILES ON IT AND I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. THE PROBLEMS INCLUDE LACK OF ACCELERATION IN THE 0-20 ZONE WITH ACCELERATOR PEDAL IN FULL ACCEL POSITION THERE IS LITTLE TO NO ACCELERATION. WHILE DRIVING UP HILLS IN THE ENTIRE SPEED RANGE THERE IS A LACK OF ABILITY TO ACCELERATE ESPECIALLY AT FREEWAY SPEEDS CREATING A POTENTIAL UNSAFE SLOW SPEEDS ISSUE. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THE 2008-2010 ROGUES. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AS THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED, HAS RELATIVELY LOW MILEAGE, AND SHOULD STILL BE A RELIABLE CAR, PLEASE CONSIDER A RECALL OF THE CVT'S IN THESE VEHICLES. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFE AND RELIABLE VEHICLE FOR MY FAMILY. *TR

I OWN A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE THAT HAS HAD ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH THE CVT. WHEN I FIRST EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM, NISSAN DID NOT EVEN KNOW/ACKNOWLEDGE THERE WAS AN ISSUE. WHEN TRAVELING DURING THE SUMMER ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS (70-80 MPH) I WOULD RANDOMLY LOSE POWER TO THE VEHICLE. FOR INSTANCE, IF I WAS DRIVING WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON, IT WOULD SHUT OFF AND GRADUALLY START TO DECELERATE. STEPPING ON THE GAS DID NOTHING. IN SOME CASES, I WOULD BE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ONLY ABLE TO GO ABOUT 25 MPH. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, FOR EXAMPLE WHEN EXITING THE HIGHWAY AND WAITING AT A LIGHT, THE CAR IS VERY SLOW TO RESPOND TO START MOVING AGAIN. AFTER TAKING MY CAR TO THREE DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS, NISSAN FINALLY BEGAN TO ACKNOWLEDGE THERE WAS AN SYSTEM ISSUE (NOT AFTER MAKING ME SPEND $400+ FOR A TRANSMISSION FLUSH). THEY SAID THAT THE COMBINATION OF ELEVATION, HEAT AND HIGH SPEEDS WAS CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO OVERHEAT AND GO INTO "FAIL SAFE" MODE. FINALLY LAST SUMMER (JULY 2012) NISSAN REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION IN THE VEHICLE. NOW, ONE YEAR LATER AND ONLY 20,000 MILES ON THE NEW TRANSMISSION, I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. MOST BOTHERSOME, HOWEVER WAS THE LAST FEW TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED, IT WAS NOT HOT AND I WAS NOT DRIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS. AFTER 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING ABOUT 82 MPH WITH 65 DEGREE WEATHER, I LOST ALL POWER TO THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC THAT WAS MOVING AT LEAST 70 MPH AND I WAS ONLY ABLE TO MOVE AT 40 MPH. NISSAN HAS SAID THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE CONTINUED ISSUE, BUT BECAUSE THE CVT IS TECHNICALLY PERFORMING AS IT SHOULD, THEY WILL NOT COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY. THEY SAID THEY ARE DEVELOPING A COOLANT, BUT IS THIS A REAL SOLUTION? BOTTOM LINE, THIS IS NOT A SAFE, RELIABLE VEHICLE. EVERY TIME I GET IN MY CAR, I WONDER IF I WILL BE ABLE TO GET WHERE I NEED TO GO IN A TIMELY AND SAFE FASHION. *JS

THE TRANSMISSION (CVT) IS JUNK. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I CAN NOT ACCELERATE AFTER COMING TO A STOP OR A ROLLING STOP, OR WHEN GOING UPHILL. I HAVE 3 CHILDREN & WE ARE LUCKY WE HAVE NOT BEEN REAR ENDED OR TBONED YET! THE SERVICE DEPT AT THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, SPARK PLUGS, AND CLEAN THE THROTTLE BODY AT A CHARGE! THIS CAR ONLY HAS 38000 MILES! I HAVE EXPLAINED IT UNTIL I AM BLUE IN THE FACE. THEY TEST DROVE IT & IT DID THE SAME THING ON THEM. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE & REALIZED IT IS VERY COMMON. THEY HAVE EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 120,000 OR 10 YEARS. I JUST WANT THE CVT FIXED BEFORE WE ARE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT!

MY NISSAN ROGUE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES (TOMORROW MAKES 3) TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT IN AUGUST 2012, APRIL 2013 AND NOW AGAIN JULY 2013. I WAS TOLD THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE CRT TRANSMISSION. MY CAR GETS UP TO ABOUT 70 MILES PER HOUR AND THEN I'M LITERALLY PUSH THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND MY CAR WON'T GO OVER 40-50 MILES PER HOUR. NOW MY CAR IS LUNGING FORWARD WHEN IT'S AT A COMPLETE STOP. I ASKED NISSAN WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE TRANSMISSION GOES OUT AGAIN AFTER REPAIRS TOMORROW AND I WAS TOLD THEY WILL JUST KEEP REPAIRING IT UNTIL MY WARRANTY IS UP AND THEN UNFORTUNATELY I'D BE ON MY OWN. *TR

ON 2 OCCASIONS IN A WEEK PERIOD OF TIME AFTER DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT AN HOUR I EXITED THE HIGHWAY VIA AN EXIT RAMP AND STOPPED AT THE STOP LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS STILL IN DRIVE AND THE GAS PEDAL WAS PRESSED DOWN. BOTH TIMES I SCOOTED ABOUT 1MPH OVER TO THE SHOULDER, PLACED THE CAR IN PARK THEN BACK IN DRIVE AND IT ACCELERATED NORMALLY. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER, THEY ARE REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AT NO COST, IT IS STILL COVERED UNDER THE NISSAN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE CVT. THIS ISSUE FRIGHTENED ME AND MADE ME FEEL UNSAFE IN THE VEHICLE. I WORRY HAD I NEEDED TO STOP ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEN ACCELERATE AND WAS UNABLE TO THAT I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT. I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD LOOK FURTHER INTO THE CVT ISSUES AND PERHAPS ISSUE RECALLS AS THESE TYPES OF ISSUES MAKE THE CAR UNSAFE. IN MY INSTANCE THE CAR FELT AS IF IT WERE STUCK IN PARK OR NEUTRAL, IT WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO DRIVE. I HAVE READ ONLINE SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS CONCERNING CVT ISSUES. *TR

THE CVT TRANSMISSION IN THE 2008 NISSAN ROGUE IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE CAR LOSES ACCELERATION AFTER TRAVELING A DISTANCE (OVER 40 MILES) AND WHEN IT COMES TO A STOP, IT WILL NOT TAKE OFF. SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 2013 I DROVE FROM COLLEGE STATION, TX TO HOUSTON, TX (85 MILES). WHEN I CAME A STOP SIGN AFTER EXITING THE FREEWAY, I STOPPED AND THEN ATTEMPTED A RIGHT TURN INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. ONCE I DEPRESSED THE GAS, THE CAR ROLLED INTO THE INTERSECTION AND STALLED WITH TRAFFIC BARRELING TOWARD ME. CARS HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID HITTING ME. THIS CAR HAS ALWAYS HAD ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION PROBLEMS SINCE I BOUGHT IT AND NO WARNING LIGHTS EVER COME ON. THE FIRST TIME THE CAR BROKE DOWN WAS ON THE FIRST ROAD TRIP I TOOK IN THE CAR. IN 2012 AS I WAS DRIVING TO ATLANTA, GEORGIA AND THE CAR BROKE COMPLETELY DOWN IN BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA. I HAD TO GET A LOANER FROM THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN BIRMINGHAM TO COMPLETE MY TRIP. THE CVT TRANSMISSION IS A VERY, VERY DANGEROUS TECHNOLOGY AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND A CLASS ACTION SUIT SHOULD BE INITIATED AGAINST NISSAN. NISSAN HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FROM 60000 TO 120000 IN ALL CVT TRANSMISSION VEHICLES. WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS IF THEY DO NOT THINK THERE IS A PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE ME AND MY CHILD WERE TRAVELING UPHILL ON A BUSY FREEWAY, I NOTICED THE CAR WAS DECELERATING. NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESSED ON THE PEDAL TO INCREASE THE SPEED, THE CAR CONTINUED TO SLOW DOWN. MANY CARS BEHIND US HAD TO SWERVE FROM HITTING US AND HONKED FOR US TO MOVE OUT OF THEIR WAY. UNFORTUNATELY, IT WAS BEYOND MY CONTROL AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. A COUPLE OF GUYS HAD TO MOVE OUR VEHICLE OUT OF HARMS WAY. IT WAS VERY STRESSFUL AND DANGEROUS. I'M SO GLAD WE WERE NOT HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. I ENDED UP REPLACING THAT TRANSMISSION WITH A USED LOW MILEAGE TRANSMISSION WHICH WORKED FOR A WHILE. IT IS GOING ON A YEAR AND I'VE BEEN TOLD THE CVT TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AGAIN. I'VE ALREADY SPENT THOUSANDS ON THIS PART ALONE. IS THERE ANYTHING ANYONE CAN DO ABOUT THIS FAULTY PRODUCT. I CAN'T AFFORD TO SPEND ANY MORE MONEY ON ANOTHER FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSION THAT WILL GO BAD AGAIN. *TR

THE CAR WOULD LOSE ACCELERATION WHEN DRIVING AND ALSO WHEN STARTING TO GO FROM BEING STOPPED. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS DRIVING AROUND 60 MPH ON HIGHWAY AND THE GAS PEDAL WAS FULLY TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT INCREASE IN SPEED. THE CAR LOST SPEED AND DECREASED DOWN TO 45 MPH. WHEN GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY AT THE END OF THE EXIT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS. 5 SECONDS LATER THE CAR THRUSTED INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AS POWER KICKED BACK IN. AFTER SEVERAL PHONE CALLS TO NISSAN AND TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AT AROUND 60,000 MILES. CARE WAS GOOD FOR ABOUT 8 MONTHS BUT STARTED HAVING SAME ISSUE. HAVE HAD THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP 10 - 12 TIMES WITH SAME ISSUE AND TO THIS DAY IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. THEY USUALLY STATE THEY CAN NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. TEST DROVE THE CAR WITH THEIR TOP MECHANIC AND GOT THE ACCELERATION ISSUE TO HAPPEN. THEY MECHANIC SAID NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HE DRAINED FLUIDS SAYING THE LEVEL WAS TO HIGH. 6 MONTHS LATER SAME ISSUES AGAIN. TRIP AFTER TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAY THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND SEND US ON OUR WAY. LAST TIME 3 OTHER CUSTOMERS WERE AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH SAME ISSUE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. *TR

THIS INVOLVES A NISSAN ROGUE S 2008 WE PURCHASED NEW FROM THE DEALER. AT APPROXIMATELY 55,000 MILES WHILE ON A TRIP TO DESTIN, FL OUR CVT TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION ON THE HIGHWAY. IT CAUSED CAR TO LOSE SPEED, NO LONGER PULL, IDLE ERRATICALLY, AND NOT BE ABLE TO GET UP TO SPEEDS OVER 55 MILES AN HOUR. IT WOULD ALSO NOT PULL OFF FROM STOPS BUT RATHER JUST COAST OUT INTO THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, LEAVING THE DRIVER WITHOUT CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. WE WERE INSTRUCTED BY THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO LIMP THE CAR BACK TO ATLANTA SO THEY COULD REPLACE THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND STATED THEY KNEW IT WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THOSE PARTICULAR CVT'S. ONCE WE GOT THE CAR BACK, NISSAN EXPLAINED THAT THEY HAD INSTALLED A NEWER MODEL OF CVT IN OUR CAR AND THAT IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. NOW, JUNE 23, 2012, OUR CAR IS BACK AT THE DEALER WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THE CAR NOW HAS 102,00 MILES. THIS TIME WE ARE ON OUR WAY TO CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE WHEN THE CVT BEGINS TO ACT UP. SYMPTOMS INCLUDED LOSS OF POWER, LOSS OF SPEED AND IDLE LEAVING US UNABLE TO SWITCH LANES AND GET OFF HIGHWAY DUE TO LACK OF PULL AND POWER. THE CARS IDLE OR RPM BEGINS TO JUMP ERRATICALLY AND REDLINING CAUSING THE CAR TO LUNGE FORWARD UNCONTROLLABLY AND THEN LOSE POWER BACK AND FORTH. NOW IMAGINE THIS ALL WHILE YOUR WIFE AND THREE DAUGHTERS (AGES 9, 4, AND 9 MONTHS) ARE IN THE BACK SEAT. VIRTUALLY HAVING NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR WHILE OTHER VEHICLES SPEED BY AT 70 MPH TRYING TO AVOID SMASHING YOU TO PIECES. THIS TIME THERE IS NO LIMPING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. BARELY ABLE TO MAKE IT OFF THE HIGHWAY, THE CVT IS SEVERELY DAMAGED AND INOPERABLE. CVT FLUID IS DRAINING RAPIDLY OUT OF SEVERAL DIFFERENT LOCATIONS.

WAS AT A STOP LIGHT. PUSHED ON ACCELERATOR TO GO FORWARD BUT CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. IT WOULD ONLY IDLE FORWARD. A TROUBLE LIGHT CAME ON AT THAT INSTANT SAYING TO CHECK ENGINE. HAD CAR TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP SAID THE CAR SUFFERED A TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR WAS EQUIPPED WITH A CVT TRANSMISSION. COST TO REPAIR ESTIMATE BY DEALERSHIP AT $4,500.00. NISSAN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON TRANSMISSION TO 120,000 MILES DUE TO ISSUES WITH CVT, BUT SINCE THE MILEAGE ON THE CAR WAS 600 MILES OVER THAT, THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE COST OF REPAIR. TOOK THE CAR TO AN INDEPENDENT TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP. CAR WAS RETURNED TO US. ON DRIVE HOME THE CAR ONCE AGAIN DIED. TRANSMISSION SHOP HAD CAR TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS AS THE ISSUE DID NOT SEEM TO BE RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION. DEALERSHIP SAYS CAR NOW HAS ENGINE FAILURE AND WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. COST ESTIMATED TO BE OVER $8,000 FOR NEW ENGINE OR OVER $5,000 FOR A USED MOTOR. *TR

ON DEC 12, 2011 AT 0500 AM MY 2009 2008 NISSAN ROGUE HAD A KEYLESS ENTRY ROLLAWAY. THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND ROLLED AWAY CAUSING CAR AND PROPERTY DAMAGE (DAMAGE TO THE CAR DOOR) AFTER TURNING OFF MY ENGINE I LEFT THE CAR, LEAVING THE CAR DOOR OPEN AND THE CAR ROLLED AWAY. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW OF KEYLESS ENTRY CARS AND THAT IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF BOTH THE NTSB AND NISSAN TO PERSONALLY NOTIFY PEOPLE OF THIS MAJOR DESIGN FLAW AND TO PROVIDE CORRECTIVE ACTION TO AVOID REPEATED ACCIDENTS. SOME SORT OF "FIX" SUCH AS AN AUTOMATIC LOCK SHOULD PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM LEAVING ROLLING AWAY WHEN THE CAR ENGINE IS TURNED OFF. IN REVIEWING THE INFO AVAILABLE FROM NTSB I NOTED THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT HAS BEEN NOTED IN SIMILAR CASES INVOLVING ROLLAWAY ACCIDENTS AND THAT BOTH INDUSTRY HAS NOT TAKEN CORRECTIVE ACTION. *TR

I PURCHASED A NEW 2008 NISSAN ROUGE IN MARCH OF 2008. MY FIRST ROAD TRIP WAS IN MAY OF 2009. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I LOST POWER (VERY DANGEROUS). I TOOK THE OVERDRIVE OFF, PUT PETAL TO FLOOR, PULLED OVER TO SIDE OF THE ROAD NOTHING HELPED. I WENT TO DEALERSHIP FOR A NOISE I HEARD ALSO ON TRIP, MOTOR MOUNTS WERE LOOSE BUT NOISE DID NOT CHANGE. AY THAT TIME I LET THEM KNOW ABOUT LOSS OF POWER. THINKING IT WAS JUST A FLUKE BECAUSE AROUND TOWN I DIDN'T HAVE TROUBLE WITH POWER. WENT ON ANOTHER ROAD TRIP AND IT DID THE SAME THING. SPECIALIST SUPPOSEDLY FLEW IN TOLD ME IT WAS BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS A TINY BIT TO HIGH. I TOLD THEM I BOUGHT IT OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR, AFTER BLINKING OF EYES THEY STILL CLAIMED THAT WAS THE REASON. THIS YEAR NEXT ROAD TRIP AND IT DID THE SAME THING AT 4 DIFFERENT TIMES...VERY SCARY!!! IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. MY SON TOOK IT TO AIRPORT TO PCK FRIENDS UP, IT HAPPENED A HOUR AND A HALF FROM HOME. THEN RECURRED IN 5 LANES OF CITY INTERSTATE TRAFFIC. HE WAS SO CLOSE TO GETTING HIT BY THE GRACE OF GOD HE DIDN'T. I TOOK IT TO THE CITY 2 WEEKS AGO AND IT DID THE SAME TO ME. IT IS SO SCARY TO BE GOING ALONG AT 65 MPH IN 5 LANES OF BUMPER TRAFFIC AND LOOSE POWER. NOW I AM MAKING PAYMENTS ON A CAR THAT I COULD NOT EVEN TRUST TO DRIVE MY KID BACK TO COLLEGE THIS YEAR. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I HAVE BEEN ON THE PHONE WITH HEADQUARTERS OF NISSAN FOR OVER A MONTH NOW AND I AM NOT GETTING NO WHERE. LOOKING ON THIS WEBSITE IT LOOKS LIKE THERE ARE LOTS OF ISSUES WITH THIS CAR...HOW MANY ACCIDENTS OR DEATHS NEED TO HAPPEN BEFORE THEY STAND BEHIND THERE PRODUCT. WOULD LOVE ANY FEED BACK ON WHO I NEED TO SPEAK TO NEXT! THANK YOU *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DECELERATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED THE FAILURE OCCURRED A SECOND TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

3 TIMES NOW MY 2008 NISSAN ROGUE HAS HAD ACCELERATION PROBLEMS ON THE HIGHWAY. IT HAPPENED THE 1ST TIME ON AUG. 20, 2011 THEN AGAIN ON SEPT. 5, 2011. BOTH TIMES I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, AT 60-65MPH WHEN SUDDENLY, THE CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 40MPH EVEN WHEN THE GAS PEDEL WAS FLOORED. I HAVE READ ONLINE MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I FEEL THIS CAR IS UNSAFE-AS YOU CAN NOT MOVE THE CAR UP TO SPEED TO GET IT OUT OF THE WAY OF ON COMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE NISSAN DEALER ON SEPT. 10-BUT THEY ARE TELLING ME THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS, THE GEAR SHIFT FINALLY SHIFTED OUT OF PARK. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE FROM PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE SHIFT ASSEMBLY WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE CAR STARTED JOLTING WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP AND THEN EVENTUALLY WENT INTO GEAR AND DROVE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO INVESTIGATE (PUTTING A TOTAL OF 10 MILES ON THE CAR BETWEEN TIME THE ISSUE STARTED AND DROPPING OFF AT DEALER - MASTRIA NISSAN IN RAYNHAM, MA). DEALER TOLD US THE CVT TRANSMISSION NEEDED FULL REPLACEMENT, BUT CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL DEALER GOT THE PART...IT WOULD JUST SOUND WEIRD. DEALER CALLED ABOUT 5 DAYS LATER AND TOLD US TO DRIVE THE CAR IN TO HAVE THE REPAIR DONE UNDER A NEW WARRANTY NISSAN WAS OFFERING DUE TO EXCESSIVE DEFECTS IN THE CVT TRANSMISSION. ON THE WAY THERE, THE CAR STARTED DECELERATING RAPIDLY ON ITS OWN APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT AND FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL...EVENTUALLY SLOWING TO ABOUT 1 MILE AN HOUR...REALLY LIMPING ALONG AS I TRIED TO MAKE IT UP TO STOP LIGHT TO TURN ONTO A SIDE STREET TO CALL A TOW TRUCK. AS I LIMPED UP TO THE STOP LIGHT, THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY SWITCHED INTO LA DIFFERENT GEAR AND ACCELERATED VERY FAST AND SHOT ME OUT INTO THE INTERSECTION THROUGH A RED LIGHT! I JUST BARELY AVOIDED A SERIOUS COLLISION AND THEN IMMEDIATELY PULLED THE CAR OFF THE ROAD AND CALLED THE TOW TRUCK. I AM REPORTING THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THIS CVT DEFECT IS DEADLY!!! NISSAN IS JUST TREATING IT AS A WARRANTY ITEM...BUT IT REALLY NEEDS A FULL RECALL! IT CAN MAKE THE CAR IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATE OR DECELERATE WITHOUT ANY ACTION BY THE DRIVER...AND THE FACT THAT IT HAPPENS MOST AT LOW SPEEDS MEANS IT IS LIKELY TO HAPPEN WHEN SLOWING FOR AN INTERSECTION OR ATTEMPTING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC. IT IS ALSO AN ISSUE BECAUSE IT GOES FROM NO SYMPTOMS TO FULL FAILURE VERY QUICKLY. PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO MAKE NISSAN RECALL THESE CVT TRANSMISSIONS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

ON A DRIVE FROM NC TO GA WE NOTICED THAT WE WERE LOSING ACCELERATION ON EVERY HILL ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER ABOUT 2 1/2 HOURS INTO THE DRIVE. WE COULD NOT ACCELERATE UP HILLS AND PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. AS WE CLIMBED THE HILLS WE LOST ACCELERATION. AFTER STOPPING FOR LUNCH THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO GO AWAY UNTIL ANOTHER 2 1/2 HOURS MORE WHERE THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE. TRACTOR TRAILOR TRUCKS WERE BARRELING DOWN ON US BECAUSE WE KEPT LOSING ACCELERATION. WE PULLED OFF AT AN EXIT AND BARELY COULD ACCELERATE FROM A STOP. WE PULLED INTO A NISSAN DEALER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID THEY THOUGHT IT WENT INTO SAFETY MODE BUT COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THAT THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS AFTER A COUPLE HOURS INTO THE DRIVE AND GOES INTO THE SAFETY MODE WHICH REDUCED ACCELERATION AND POWER. NISSAN SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT THEY CAN ONLY DO SO BY DRIVING IT MORE THAN 2 HOURS. *KB

WHILE COMING OFF AN INTERSECTION THE 2008 ROGUE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSETION. PRESSING THE GAS WOULD SLOW THE CAR MORE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED. EVENTUALLY AFTER PUMPING THE GAS THE CAR WOULD MOVE AGAIN. I HAD THE DEALER LOOK AT THE CAR AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND SAID IT WAS JUST TOO HOT OUTSIDE CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO RUN HOT. I LIVE IN AZ AND IT IS ALWAYS HOT OUT HERE. THE SAME INCIDENT HAPPENED 2 TIMES AFTER I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. *TT

I PURCHASED A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE SL AWD IN 2008. I BEGAN HEARING A NOISE EMANATING FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 6000 MILES. THE NOISE OCCURS CONSISTENTLY WHEN DECELERATING FROM ABOUT 40 MPH TO 5 MPH. AS THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO DECELERATE, THE NOISE SOUNDS LIKE A RATTLING AGAINST METAL. THE NOISE CHANGES TO A GRINDING SOUND LIKE METAL RUBBING AGAINST METAL AS THE VEHICLE LOSES SPEED. THE GRINDING SOUND APPEARS MORE PRONOUNCED WHEN AT A SLOW SPEED, SUCH AS WHEN TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT. SERVICE MANAGER ACKNOWLEDGES THE NOISE BUT HAS NO EXPLANATION FOR IT AND SAY NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAS A FIX FOR IT, SO I TOOK IT IN FOR THE FACTORY FIX AND HAVE NOTICED THE NOISE IS STILL THERE. I BELIEVE THE NOISE COMES FROM THE CVT TRANSMISSION, AND IT IS PROBABLY CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE CVT BELT OR THE CVT BELT SLIPPING ON THE VARIABLE PULLEYS. EITHER CAUSE COULD LEAD TO CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE CVT BELT AND RESULT IN AN IMMEDIATE AND TOTAL LOSS OF RESPONSE TO DRIVER ACCELERATOR INPUT.

2008 NISSAN ROGUE, SL AWD TRANSMISSION IS VERY SLUGGISH TO ACCELERATE BETWEEN 20 - 40MPH, ESPECIALLY WHEN ENTERING A HIGHWAY FROM ON RAMP. IT DOES NOT SEEM TO SHIFT UNLESS YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS A LITTLE, THEN RMP'S GO DOWN AND THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE PURCHASING MY VEHICLE IN MARCH 2009 . SINCE THIS CAR HAS A CVT TRANSMISSION, YOU DON'T HEAR OR FEEL GEAR SHIFTS. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE SLOW ACCELERATION WAS NORMAL FOR THAT VEHICLE'S CVT TRANSMISSION. I BELIEVE IT IS DANGEROUS AS THERE IS NO PREDICTABILITY WHEN IT WILL OR WON'T ACCELERATE AS NECESSARY WHEN MERGING ONTO HIGH SPEED HIGHWAYS. DANGER FROM BEING REAR ENDED IS HIGH . THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY NISSAN. *TR

THIS AN E-MAIL TO THE NISSAN MOTOR CORP REFERENCE 6261634 I WAS JUST RECENTLY CONTACTED BY ONE OF YOUR TECH REPRESENTATIVES FOR MY AREA IN RESPONSE TO MY INQUIRY ABOUT MY 2008 NISSAN ROGUE CVT TRANSMISSION NOISE. IT APPEARS THAT YOUR FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM IS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THIS SEEMS ODD, HAS THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THE NEXT TRANSMISSION WILL NOT HAVE THE SAME RUMBLING CVT NOISE. ALSO THIS IS A NEW CAR AND YOU DON'T EXPECT TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AFTER A FEW MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP. IN FACT CHECKING WITH THE BLOG PAGE OF THE NICO CLUB, THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH MANY NISSAN ROGUE OWNERS. I HAVE CALLED MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERS AND FOUND THAT ALL THEM ARE HAVING SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM SOME OF THEIR ROGUE OWNERS. RAMSY NISSAN HAS HAD FOUR COMPLAINTS, ROCKLAND NISSAN SEVEN COMPLAINTS, WHITE PLAINS NISSAN THREE COMPLAINTS, O'BRIEN NISSAN TWO COMPLAINTS AND ROUTE 23 NISSAN HAS HAD FIVE COMPLAINTS. WHAT IS ALSO INTERESTING IS ALL OF THESE DEALERS HAVE THE SAME ANSWER TO FIXING THE PROBLEM AND THAT IS, 'NISSAN IS A WHERE OF THE PROBLEM' AND THEY ARE WAITING FOR A SOFTWARE FIX. IT APPEARS TO ME THAT NISSAN SOLD THE VEHICLE WITH A KNOWN DESIGN FLAW WITH THE ROGUES CVT TRANSMISSION. I WAIT FOR YOUR REPLY AND RESOLUTION TO MY COMPLAINT. *TR

LOW-SPEED RUBBERY GRINDING/RATTLE FROM FRONT END/TRANSMISSION. DEALER REPLACED HALF-SHAFT, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE.

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE SL AWD, I BEGAN EXPERIENCING A GRINDING, RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM WHICH I NOW KNOW IS THE CVT TRANSMISSION. STARTED AT LESS THAN 3000 MILES, VERY FAINT AND INCONSISTENT BUT BECOMING MUCH LOUDER, MORE CONSISTENT AND UNMISTAKABLE. AFTER THE THIRD TRIP TO MY DEALER ABOUT THIS NOISE AND SEVERAL OTHER ISSUES I AM HAVING WITH MY 5 MONTH OLD VEHICLE INCLUDING A MAJOR WATER LEAK, THEY FINALLY GOT ON THE PHONE TO NISSAN USA. THE SERVICE MANAGER ADVISED ME THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS TRANSMISSION "ISSUE", THEY ARE WORKING ON A FIX, THERE HAVE BEEN MANY TRANSMISSIONS REPLACED BUT THAT IS NOT CORRECTING THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD TO SIT TIGHT AND WAIT FOR NISSAN TO COME UP WITH A RESOLUTION. I WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN NO REPORTED FAILURES FROM THIS ISSUE. MY PROBLEM IS, WHICH ROGUE OWNER WITH THIS PROBLEM (AND IT SEEMS LIKE THERE ARE MANY) IS GOING TO BE THE FIRST ONE TO HAVE A TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS? I CURRENTLY HAVE LESS THAN 5,000 MILES ON MY ROGUE AND DON'T TRUST IT. *TR

I'M TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THEY HAVE ANOTHER ONE THAT IS DOING THE SAME AND THEY DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER. NISSAN STATES THAT THEY ARE LOOKING INTO IT, DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS, BUT THAT THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE..... IF THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS HOW CAN THEY SAY THAT IT'S SAFE TO DRIVE? TO ME IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S EITHER THE TRANSMISSION OR TRANSFER CASE. *TR

WITHIN 1 MONTH OF TAKING DELIVERY OF A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE SL AWD, WE STARTED HEARING A FAINT RATTLE THAT WAS INTERMITTENT FROM THE FRONT END AT APPROX. 1000 MI. WHEN THE NOISE BECAME MORE REGULAR AND LOUDER, TOOK IT TO NISSAN TO HAVE THEM CHECK IT OUT. TECH'S HEARD THE NOISE ON 2ND TRIP THERE, BUT SAID NISSAN WAS AWARE OF A PROBLEM BUT THERE WAS NO FIX AS OF YET AND WILL LET US KNOW WHEN THERE WAS A FIX. TWO MONTHS LATER, NO WORD FROM THE DEALER, WE TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE THEY HAD EXPERIENCED IT AND REPLACED A TRANSMISSION FOR ANOTHER ROGUE. THEY KEPT IT FOR NEARLY 3 WEEKS AND ONLY REPLACED A TRANSFER CASE--IT TURNS OUT THE TRANSFER CASE ONLY ECHOED THE NOISE FROM THE CVT/TRANSMISSION. WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT NISSAN REQUESTED THEM TO RETURN THE CAR BACK TO US WITH SO-CALLED ADDED COMFORT THAT "IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL THEY FIND A FIX BECAUSE THERE HAVEN'T BEEN ANY REPORTED FAILURES".

I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER, THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT HEAR ANYTHING ON THE TEST DRIVE. AS DAYS WENT BY THE NOISE GOT LOUDER. I BROUGHT IT BACK AGAIN, THIS TIME I WENT WITH THE TECH. HE HEARD IT. AFTER HOURS OF LOOKING AT THE CAR THEY DECIDED, THEY NEEDED TO KEEP THE CAR FOR A DAY OR TWO TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. I GOT A RENTAL AND THEY HAD IT FOR A DAY AND A HALF. I STARTED READING UP ON THIS ON ROGUE FORUMS AND THE ARE 100'S OVER PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. SVC MGR TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION TNAT NISSAN USA WAS AWARE OF, AND THEY WERE GOING TO REPLACE IT. THEY THOUGHT THE CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE SINCE THERE HAD NOT BEEN REPORTED FAILURES. SO, THEY GAVE ME THE CAR BACK WHILE I WAITED FOR THE NEW TRANNY. A WEEK LATER AFTER NOT HEARING FROM THE DEALER, I CALLED AND WAS TOLD, AS IT TURNS OUT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO REPLACE THE TRANNY BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN DONE IN OTHER ROGUES AND NOT FIXED THE ISSUE. HE STATED, THERE IS NO FIX, BUT NISSAN IS WORKING ON THE PROBLEM. WHEN I VOICED MY CONCERNS OVER THE POSSIBILITY OF A FAILURE ON A HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS, HE SAID..WELL THERE HAVEN'T BEEN ANY YET!! AS I STATED THERE ARE MANY MANY ROGUE OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE TO FORCE NISSANS HAND.
