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.

Nov 23, 2011
NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011 ROGUE VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM AUGUST 17, 2010, THROUGH OCTOBER 30, 2010. THE CIRCUIT BOARD MAY NOT HAVE BEEN INSTALLED IN THE CORRECT POSITION ON CERTAIN ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) ASSIST CONTROL UNITS. THIS MAY CAUSE ADDITIONAL STRESS ON THE SOLDER OF THE TERMINAL TO THE CIRCUIT BOARD RESULTING IN THE SOLDER CRACKING AND SEPARATING COMPLETELY FROM THE CIRCUIT BOARD.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: AS THE CIRCUIT BOARD FAILS, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FEATURE WILL STOP FUNCTIONING, INCREASING THE FORCE NEEDED TO STEER THE VEHICLE AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: NISSAN WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE EPS CONTROL UNIT IF NECESSARY, FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING DECEMBER 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
