2011 Nissan Rogue

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED ON ITS OWN. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, BUT IT WOULD NOT GO FORWARD OR IN REVERSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY AT THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AWAITING REPAIRS. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

2011 NISSAN ROGUE TRANSMISSION- I WAS PICKING MY DAD UP TO GO TO HOSPITAL WHERE MY SISTER WAS HAVING A HEART CATH, AS I PUT IT IN REVERSE IT STARTED JUMPING, MY DAD SAYS WHAT IS THAT IT FEELS LIKE YOUR TRANSMISSION. WE GO THROUGH MCDONALD'S DRIVE THUR AND IT STARTS JUMPING. WHEN LEAVING WORK IT STARTS JUMPING LOSING POWER SO I TOOK IT THE NEXT DAY TO EAST TN NISSAN THEY SAID IT WAS MY TRANSMISSION. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT ONLY THE 2011 ROGUE IS THE ONLY ONE THAT DOESN'T HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 120,000 MILES.

NISSAN WAS WELL AWARE THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION ON MY 2011 NISSAN ROGUE WAS EVENTUALLY GOING TO GIVE OUT. WHY ONLY RECALL SOME VEHICLES WHEN CLEARLY MY TRUCK IS PART OF THAT RECALL. I'M A SINGLE MOTHER OF 2 KIDS. I WORK HARD AND NEED MY CAR FOR WORK. I HAVE ONE YEAR LEFT TO PAY ON MY TRUCK AND NOW I'M STUCK PAYING FOR A CAR I CAN'T DRIVE. MY TRANSMISSION BLEW WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH ALMOST COST ME MY LIFE. NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST TO FIX MY TRUCK. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN CAR AND I WILL TELL ANYONE WHO LISTENS HOW CRUEL THIS COMPANY IS. BEWARE AND STAY AWAY FROM ANY VEHICLE THAT HAVE THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I WILL BE REPORTING THIS TO THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU.

AT AROUND 92,000 MILES (EXACTLY A MONTH AFTER MY 90,000 MILE SERVICE AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP) ON 11/15/2018, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED ON AN EXIT RAMP OF I-40 AT LEBANON, TN. THE CAR WOULD LURCH AND GO FORWARD SO I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE EXIT RAMP AND INTO A PARKING LOT. AAA TOWED CAR TO NISSAN COOKEVILLE WHERE THEY SAID A LOW PUMP PRESSURE CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. THEY REPLACED THIS TRANSMISSION WITH A REBUILT TRANSMISSION AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE 150 MILES BACK HOME. ON 11/29/2018, WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT AFTER PULLING OFF I-140 IN ALCOA, TN, I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND MY CAR WOULD NOT GO. I WAS SITTING IN THE MIDDLE LANE AT 5:30PM ON A DARK, RAINY THURSDAY NIGHT. I HAD TO CALL 911. IT TOOK A POLICE OFFICER 10 TO 15 MINUTES TO GET THERE. THE AREA WHERE I WAS IS RIGHT OFF I-140 EXIT RAMP. I ENDED UP BACKING TRAFFIC UP ON AN INTERSTATE BECAUSE MY CAR WOULD NOT GO. THANKFULLY, NO ONE WRECKED INTO ME. SINCE I COULD NOT TOW MY CAR 150 MILES BACK TO COOKEVILLE, I TOOK IT TO THE ALCOA DEALERSHIP. WHERE I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THE REPLACED TRANSMISSION FROM THE COOKEVILLE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. SO, I AM OUT OVER $4,000, HAVE NO TRANSPORTATION, AND HAVE NO INCOME TO BUY A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE $4,000 I SPENT 2 WEEKS AGO ON ANOTHER TRANSMISSION. I AM TERRIFIED OF CVT TRANSMISSIONS. I AM SICKENED THAT I HAVE NO RESOURCES TO HELP ME AT LEAST FIGHT THE $4,000 FOR THE TRANSMISSION THAT FAILED 2 WEEKS AFTER BEING PUT IN MY CAR. THIS CAR IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE, AS EVIDENCED BY THE FACT THAT I WAS BLOCKING TRAFFIC IN A MAJOR INTERSECTION, IN THE RAIN, AT NIGHT, DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC. I DO NOT HAVE THE DOCUMENTATION WITH ME AS IT IS WITH MY CAR AT THE ALCOA DEALERSHIP, BUT I WILL BE WILLING TO PROVIDE ONCE I AM ABLE TO GET TO MY CAR.
