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. AS WELL, THE ENTIRE BODY OF THE CAR IS COATED IN TRANS FLUID AND SMOKE BILLOWING OUT OF THE HOOD DUE TO THE FLUID COATING THE ENGINE TOO. *TR

SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS, ROGUE WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHEN TRYING TO GO FROM STOPPED POSITION. NO POWER TO GO UPHILL OR PULL INTO TRAFFIC. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, ONLY OCCASIONALLY, BUT IS HAPPENING MORE OFTEN. YESTERDAY, CAR DID THIS WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEED OF 55+ MPH. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME IT SLOWED WHILE ALREADY AT HIGH SPEED. MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS VEHICEL AND WE ARE PARKING IT FOR NOW AS THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL INCIDENCES WHERE SHE HAS ALMOST BEEN HIT BY ONCOMING CARS. *TR

WE WERE COMPLETELY STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN WAITING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC. THERE WERE CARS COMING BUT AT A SAFE ENOUGH DISTANCE SO WE ACCELERATED, GOT INTO THE ROADWAY AND THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. WE HAD THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. SINCE THEN WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE INCIDENTS OF THIS WHERE THE TRANSMISSION FREEZES AND WE ARE STUCK IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE HITS US. SINCE I HAVE READ OF MULTIPLE PROBLEMS EXACTLY LIKE THIS WITH THIS VEHICLE. WHY HADN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL WHEN THE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE TEST RESULTS DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. A YEAR LATER, THE FAILURE BEGIN TO RECUR. THE CONTACT DID NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AGAIN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN. PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. CONTINUED DOWN THE ROAD AND COULD NOT GO ABOVE 40 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. STOPPED THE CAR AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED OFF THE CAR. THOUGHT MAYBE JUST A HICCUP AND WOULD RETURN TO NORMAL. STARTED IT UP AND BEGAN TO DRIVE AND STILL WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE ABOVE 40 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. CALLED THE SHOP AND LET THEM KNOW I WAS ON MY WAY. ON THE WAY TO THE SHOP THE CAR RAN FINE, GOING NORMAL SPEED. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANY RECORD IN THE COMPUTER OF THE PROBLEM AND SO FAR HAS BEEN UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. *JS

VEHICLE HAS BEEN POPPING IN AND OUT OF GEAR, LURCHING,STOPPING FOR THE LAST TWO DAYS. TODAY IN LURCHED FORWARD, LAUNCHING US DOWN AN ICY HILL, AFTER DOING 5 OR 6 360 DEGREE SPINS, WE STOPPED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL. ONLY BY SHEER LUCK, DID WE NOT HIT ANYTHING. THIS SEEMS LIKE A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD. IS NISSAN DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT? *TR

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
