2008 Nissan Rogue

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.

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.

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. IF THE CVT FAILS IN THIS VEHICLE, IT WILL HAVE BEEN THE THIRD TRANSMISSION DURING OUR OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE, REQUIRING A FOURTH TO BE INSTALLED.

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!

"DEFECTIVE CVT TRANSMISSIONS" I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND TO HAVE A LIGHT KNOCKING COMING FROM SOMEWHERE IN ENGINE CHECKED. I PAID FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD THAT I FELL UNDER THE RECALL BUT NOT WITH CURRENT MILEAGE 131,099. I WAS TOLD I HAD TO PAY TO REPLACE CVT TRANSMISSION. I HEAR THE NOISE ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION NOT WHEN IT'S STATIONARY.

I HAVE A 2008 NISSAN ROUGE I ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH TANS GOING UP HILL ITS LIKE IT QUITS PULLING AND NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIT IS ON AND IT WANT CHANGE LIKE IT SHOULD TOOK IT THE DEALER HAD IT IN THE SHOP BEFORE TWICE AND THEY SAID IT FIXED IT WAS LEAKING FLUID FROM THE TRANS. AND NOW THIS HAPPENS GUEST SOME ONE HAVE TO GET HEART OR KILLED BEFORE SOME ONE MAKES NISSAN FIXES THE PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLES WHEN THEY STOP WORKING THEY OUR A PROBLEM WITH IT I SEE ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS AND STILL NO ONE HAS DONE ANYTHING WHY.
