2008 Nissan Rogue

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY DECELERATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CONYERS NISSAN 1420 IRIS DR SW, CONYERS, GA 30094 WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION WAS FLUSHED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO CONYERS NISSAN 1420 IRIS DR SW, CONYERS, GA 30094 WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS AGAIN TAKEN BACK TO CONYERS NISSAN WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD AGAIN FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD COVER HALF OF THE REPAIR COST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

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.

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.

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.

"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.

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!
