2010 Nissan Rogue

ALMOST SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR, I FELT WHILE DRIVING THAT THE MOTOR WAS SHAKING AND I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC THAT TOLD ME MUST BE THE AXLE, THEN I TOOK IT TO THE UNIVERSAL NISSAN IN ORLANDO, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOTHING, AND THAT WAS NORMAL IN THE CVT,MOTORS. IT KEPT DOING IT AND I TOOK IT AGAIN TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL, NOTHING WAS FOUND, NOW AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED I TOOK IT FOR A OIL CHANGE AND THEY FOUND THAT THE RIGHT AXLE HAVE TO BE REPLACE ENTIRELY, SINCE THE OIL TRANSMISSION IS LEAKING FROM IT, AND THAT THE PART THAT HOLD THE MOTOR HAVE TO BE REPLACE TOO, SINCE THE BUSHING FELL APART AND IT IS DANGEROUS, I KNOW THERE ARE OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND NISSAN DOESN'T WANT TO FIX IT UNLESS A LOT OF MONEY IS PAID, THEY WERE JUST GIVING EXCUSES SO THE WARRANTY EXPIRED, SO NOW THEY WANT TO CHARGE A LOT. THIS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN RECALLS.

AFTER A 30 MINUTES TO 1 HOUR DRIVE ON A HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE DROPS IN SPEED WHEN DRIVING UPHILL. VEHICLE SPEED DECREASES AND STAYS NO MORE THAN 35 MPH; RESULTING IN AN UNSAFE, HAZARDOUS CONDITION. NISSAN DIAGNOSIS FOUND TO BE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO REPLACE IT, P0725 AND U1000, HOWEVER CVT WARRANTY EXTENSION HAS EXPIRED.

IN HIGHWAY DRIVING CONDITIONS THE TRANSMISSION WILL OVER HEAT. THE TRANSMISSION THEN GOES INTO SAFE MODE AND DISENGAGES FROM THE ENGINE. THE CAR THEN LOSES POWER. YOU ARE THEN STUCK ON A HIGHWAY WITH TRAFFIC AROUND YOU DOING 70 MPH AND YOUR CAR HAS NO ACCELERATION, NO POWER AND YOU ARE JUST STUCK. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. NISSAN CLAIMS NOTHING IS WRONG.

VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHILE DRIVING THE TRANSMITION WAS SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL THAN INTO DRIVE WITHOUT RESPONSE, I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND IT WOULD NOT RESTART, I LET THE CAR REST IT STARTED AFTER ABOUT 20 MIN, ALL OF THIS OCCURED AFTER A LONG TRIP 1.5 HOURS THEN A SHORT BREAK 0.5 -1 HOUR. THIS PROBLEM COULD NOT BE REPLICATED BY THE DEALERSHIP MECHANICS. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED URL FOR SAME TYPE OF COMPLAINTS. HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/NISSAN/ROGUE/2010/DRIVETRAIN/POWER_TRAIN.SHTML

WE PURCHASED THE CAR AS A NEW CAR DEMO. IT HAD ABOUT 5000 MILES ON IT. THE CAR RAN PRETTY GOOD FOR 60/70 THOUSAND MILES AND THEN WE STARTED NOTICING THAT WHEN WE WENT ON LONGER DRIVES(HIGHWAY), THE CAR WOULD GO INTO A "POWERLESS" STATE WHEN YOU STOPPED OR SLOWED DOWN. WE LATER BECAME FAMILIAR WITH THE TERM "LIMP" MODE OR "SAFE" MODE. THE TRANSMISSION GOES INTO THESE MODES WHEN IT IS OVERHEATING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE NO COMPUTER CODES HAD SURFACED FOR THE TROUBLE. THIS VISIT WAS AROUND 80K, WELL UNDER OUR 125000 MILE WARRANTY. THE MOST RECENT TIME WAS 2014 WE WENT OUT OF TOWN AGAIN AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. BEING ABOUT 400 MILES FROM HOME, WE STOPPED AT A LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE AND HAD THEM CHECK THE CODE. THEY TOLD ME THE CLUTCH/TORQUE CONVERTER WAS MAKING A CODE POP UP. WE PRECEDED TO DRIVE HOME AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY. AT THIS POINT WE HAD 119000 MILES ON IT STILL UNDER THE WARRANTY. THECHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF BEFORE WE COULD GET THERE. THE DEALERSHIP ONCE AGAIN SAID NOTHING WAS SHOWING ON THE COMPUTER EVEN THOUGH I TOLD THEM EXACTLY WHAT CODE I HAD LEARNED OF BEFORE RETURNING TO THE SHOP. THEY AGAIN CLAIMED TO NOT BE ABLE TO WORK ON THE CAR WITHOUT THE CODE. I GUESS THEY AREN'T REAL MECHANICS! ANYWAYS, WE NOW HAVE 140000 MILES ON THE CAR AND THE CODE IS PRESENT AGAIN AND ALL NISSAN CAN SAY IS IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY OFFERED TO GIVE US "EMPLOYEE" PRICING ON A NEW CAR BUT COMPLETELY REFUSE TO HELP WITH THE REPAIR. DOESN'T MAKE US FEEL GOOD ABOUT OWNING ANOTHER NISSAN.
