2010 Nissan Rogue

CVT TRANSMISSION OVERHEATED DUE TO THE FOLLOWING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS 1. HOT WEATHER (92 F) 2. A LONG DRIVE (OVER 3 HOURS) 3. DRIVING UP HIGHWAY MOUNTAINS IN VIRGINIA. FAIL SAFE ACTIVATED CAUSING THE CAR COMPUTER CPU TO DRASTICALLY CUT POWER TO THE WHEELS. THIS CAUSED A LACK OF POWER SUCH THAT I COULD NOT ACCELERATE UP THE HILL IN EXCESS OF 45 MPH. THE SPEED LIMIT ON THE HILL WAS 70 MPH. EIGHTEEN WHEEL TRUCKS WERE IMMEDIATELY BEHIND MY ROGUE FORCING ME TO PULL ONTO THE ROAD SHOULDER ALLOWING THEM TO GO PAST. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO A LOCAL NISSAN DEALER WHO CONFIRMED FROM EXAMINATION OF THE CAR CPU THAT THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATED AND THAT AN OVERHEAT CODE WAS FOUND IN THE CPU. THEY ALSO CONFIRMED THAT THE FAIL SAFE WAS ACTIVATED THAT CAUSED THE SEVERE POWER LOSS. THE NISSAN DEALER KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS FROM MY DESCRIPTION. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND EVEN EXTENDED MY TRANSMISSION CVT WARRANTY FROM 6YR/60,000 MILES TO 10YR/120,000 MILES. HOWEVER, THEIR SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM IS TO INSTALL AN AUXILIARY CVT TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER AT AN EXPENSE TO ME OF $1225. MY DEALER CHECKED WITH NISSAN AND SAID THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE EXPENSE EVEN THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION IN MY CAR IS STILL ON WARRANTY. DOCUMENTATION OF MY EXACT EXPERIENCE CAN BE FOUND ON YOUTUBE @ HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=GG_ZF1EO0PW. THERE ARE SEVERAL MORE VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE UNDER ROGUE CVT POWER LOSS AND DOCUMENTATION ON MANY SITES ON THE INTERNET. IN CONCLUSION, NISSAN IS INSTALLING CVT TRANSMISSIONS IN SEVERAL OF THEIR MODEL CARS WITH A KNOWN OVERHEATING ISSUE AND REQUIRES THEIR CUSTOMERS TO INSTALL A TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER AT THE CUSTOMERS EXPENSE. THE DRAMATIC LOSS OF POWER IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. IN MY CASE I HAD TO SPEED UP TO GET UP THE HILLS AS MY SPEED DROPPED FROM 80MPH DOWN TO 45MPH FINALLY PULLING ONTO THE SHOULDER.

THIS STARTED HAPPENING RIGHT AFTER THE LAST RECALL FEB 2016. WAS GOING AT 65 MPH LITTLE UPHILL (FROM 1200 FEET TO 2200 FEET) THEN THE SPEED STARTED DROPPING FROM 65MPH TO LESS THAN 30MPH ON A BUSY CALIFORNIA I-15 FREEWAY. I HAD TO PULL THE CAR FROM THE FAR LEFT LANE (5 LANES EACH WAY) TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER WHERE I STOPPED FOR ABOUT 35 MINUTES THEN STARTED THE CAR AGAIN. IT HAPPENED AT LEAST 4 TIMES SINCE THEY MESSED UP MY CAR IN THE LAST RECALL. OTHER ISSUE I EXPERIENCED WAS WHEN I STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND TRIED TO MOVE, IT BARELY MOVED THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT JUMPED, IT WAS VERY RISKY. I HAD TO PULL TO A PARKING LOT (THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES)

WELL I WAS DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY WITH SPEED LIMIT OF 80 MPH, CAR SUDDENLY WENT DOWN TO 40, ALMOST HIT BY A BIG OLD TRUCK, JEEZ GLAD TO BE ALIVE, I LOVED NISSAN N I HAD MY FIRST CAR AS NISSAN N SWITCH TO TOYOTA BUT NOW I WANNA TRY NISSAN AS IT WAS MY FAV, NOW I MISSED MY TOYOTA, ATLEAST TOYOTA CSR ARE HELPFUL IN FNDING THE PROBLEMS. NISSAN DEALERS OH BOY THEY DON'T KNOW WHATS GOING ON, I THINK THEY R JUST PRETENDING. IF ANYBODY IS BUYING NISSAN, THINK TWICE IF YOU WANNA RISK UR LIFE. HOPE NOONE GETS HURT ON HIGHWAY WITH THE SAME ISSUES!!

9-5-15 WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN CAR CAME TO SUDDEN STOP IN THE MIDDEL OF TURN.ENDING UP FINDING OUT THE TRANISSION BLOW COST ME 4500.00 TO PUT A NEW TRANSISSION IN. ONCE I GOT THE TRANSISSION PUT IN I TOKE THE VEHICLE BACK TELLING THEN WHEN AT A STOP SIGN OR LIGHTS THE CAR WOULD DIE OUT. SOMETIMES THE CAR HAS NO POWER WHEN TAKING OFF. CAR HAS BEEN TO 3 DIFFERANT SHOPS FOR THE DIEING OUT, IT HAS NO CODES NO ONE CAN FIND WHATS WRONG WITH THE CAR.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY 2010 NISSAN ROUGE SUDDENLY WOULD DROP THE SPEED TO UNDER 55MPH. I WOULD PUSH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR BUT IT STILL WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. NO WARNINGS OR ENGINE LIGHT DISPLAYED ON THE PANEL. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE. WHAT IS SOMEONE DIDN'T PAY ATTENTION AND REAR-ENDED ME BECAUSE OF MY SUDDEN SPEED REDUCTION WITHOUT A WARNING. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR ON A INTERSTATE. I PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR IT AND NOW IT HAS A VERY LIMITED USE. I ONLY HOPE THAT NISSAN WILL CAREFULLY LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. SOMEONE'S LIFE COULD BE LOST BECAUSE OF IT. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I KNOW THAT I'M NOT THE FIRST PERSON TO MAKE THIS COMPLAINT. *TR

THE SUNROOF OF MY CAR (WHILE I WAS DRIVING) EXPLODED! FORTUNATELY THE INSIDE PANEL WAS CLOSED. I IMAGINED SOMETHING HIT THE SUNROOF, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING INSIDE THE WELL. JUST RECENTLY I WATCHED A NEWS PROGRAM THAT SHOWED THAT MANY SUNROOFS ARE EXPLODING DUE TO FLAWS IN THE GLASS. THE COST OF THE REPAIR WAS UNDER MY DEDUCTIBLE, COSTING ME $303.35 TO REPLACE. I WAS DRIVING ON RT. 7 "BELLEVILLE TURNPIKE" KEARNY, NEW JERSEY. NOTHING WAS NEAR ME AT THE TIME - IT SOUNDED LIKE I HAD BEEN SHOT AT! I HAD THE REPAIR DONE AT LIDO AUTO BODY IN BELLEVILLE, N.J. IT TOOK THREE DAYS TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR, I HAD TO RENT A CAR (ENTERPRISE) TO GO TO WORK COSTING ME $124.74. I HAVE PHOTOS AND INVOICES, BUT I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FACILITATE A DOWNLOAD IF I AM PROVIDED A FAX NUMBER, I WILL GLADLY PROVIDE WHATEVER DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED. *TR

WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES, THE CAR SOMETIMES JUST SHUTS DOWN COMPLETELY AND TURNS OFF. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO THEN PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND RESTART IT. IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN I HAVE SLOWED THE CAR DOWN TO GO OVER SPEED BUMPS, WHEN I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT. IT ALSO HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY ON-RAMP. NISSAN HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX IT.

HI, I AM EXPERIENCING A KNOWN "CVT OVERHEATING" PROBLEM WITH MY ROGUE. WHAT'S HAPPENING IS THAT WHEN THE CVT GETS MORE THEN SOME THRESHOLD TEMPERATURE IT GOES TO SO CALLED "SAFE" MODE AND THE CAR LOOSES SPEED DRAMATICALLY, INCLUDING SITUATIONS ON A HIGH WAY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! I BROUGHT ME VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP 2 TIMES AND AS A RESULT THEY SUGGESTED TO INSTALL A "COOLER KIT" BY NISSAN WHICH POTENTIALLY CAN SOLVE THE PROBLEM JUST BY COOLING THE CVT IS A "BETTER" WAY. THEY ARE ASKING FOR ABOUT $1200 FOR THE INSTALLATION. I SEE THAT AS A NISSAN'S DESIGN FLOW. I DON'T THINK PAYING FOR THIS OUT OF MY POCKET IS THE RIGHT SOLUTION. I THINK NISSAN SHOULD START A RE-CALL ON THAT PROBLEM. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE SITUATION ON HOW NISSAN HANDLES IT RIGHT NOW (IN FACT IT DOESN'T HANDLE IT ALL). THANK YOU.

SEVERAL TIME THE CAR HAS NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY FROM A STOPPED POSITION. I WOULD PRESS THE GAS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE UNTIL SUDDENLY IT SEEMED TO "CATCH". JUST RECENTLY DRIVING AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 75MPH THE CAR GRADUALLY SLOWED AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. IT DROPPED DOWN TO ABOUT 65 MPH AND THEN EVENTUALLY GRADUALLY ACCELERATED. WHEN I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY I CAME TO A STOP LIGHT. AGAIN, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. WHEN I GOT HOME I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TRIED TO "REV" THE ENGINE AND AT FIRST NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN. I HAD MY FOOT TO THE FLOOR. THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS ROGUE HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED TWICE! THIS TRANSMISSION HAS ABOUT 50,000 MILES ON IT. *TR
