2012 Nissan Rogue

LOST POWER WHEN DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. ENGINE RPM KEPT INCREASING BUY THE TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T SHIFT . WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE INTERSTATE TO SAFETY. LET THE CAR SIT FOR A SHORT PERIOD AND FORTUNATELY WAS ABLE TO RESUME MY TRIP. BASED ON RESEARCH IT SEEMS THIS IS A KNOWN, ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND MANY DRIVERS HAVE HAD NEAR MISSES BECAUSE OF IT

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON A HIGHWAY WITH SPEED LIMITS OF 70 MILES PER HOUR AS I WAS GOING UP AN INCLINE MY CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE PAST THE SPEED I WAS GOING. ONCE I MADE IT OVER THE INCLINE I WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. WE WERE THEN ENTERING THE EXIT RAMP AND MY CAR JUST QUIT. MY HUSBAND TOLD ME TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND START THE ENGINE- IT THEN STARTED UP AND WE WERE ABLE TO EXIT THE RAMP, BUT THE CAR HAD LITTLE ACCELERATION SO WE TURNED OFF THE AIR CONDITIONING AND THAT SEEMED TO HELP. ON OUR WAY BACK HOME MY HUSBAND DROVE THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AND AFTER DRIVING A WHILE THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION AGAIN. WE SHUT OFF THE AIR CONDITIONER AND THEN IT WAS OK. WE TOOK THE CAR A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY NEEDED TO ADD AN AULXILLARY TRANSMISSION COOLER TO THE TRANSMISSION SO IT WOULD NOT OVERHEAT. ALSO THEY HAD TO REPLACE RANSMISSION VALVE BODY. I HAD THEM DO THE REPAIR AT A COST TO ME IF OF $1,013.00. NISSAN WOULD ONLY PAY $750.00 TO THE COST. I TOLD THE REP AT NISSAN THAT WE HAD NO WARNING OF THE TRANSMISSION GOING , NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON IT JUST STOPPED. I TOLD THE THIS WAS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE - THIS COULD OF CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I ALSO FELT THAT NISSAN SHOULD OF PAID THE WHOLE COST SINCE THEY HAD TO ADD A DEVICE TO MY TRANSMISSION THAT WASN'T ON THERE WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED I HAD 82,000 MILES ON MY CAR- THEY SAID THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 75,000 MILES FOR THE CVT TRANSMISSION . I HAD TO TAKE MY CAR IN AGAIN TODAY ,AUG 2, 2016 BECAUSE OF THE VEHICLE SHAKING WHEN I PUT MY AIR CONDITIONING ON AND A RATTLING NOISE WHEN I AM IN REVERSE AND STARTING TO GO WHILE THE AIR CONDITIONER IS RUNNING. I AM TOLD THIS IS A SEPARATE ISSUE AND IT IS GOING TO COST ME $1,200.00 FOR A COMPRESSOR THAT IS FAILING. ANOTHER COST TO ME THE CONSUMER FOR NISSAN'S LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THEIR MECHANICAL FAILURES.

CVT FAILED ON NISSAN 2012 ROGUE AT 72650 MILES DISABLING VEHICLE IN THE HOV LANE ON THE HIGHWAY. SERVICE BULLETIN ON CVTS ON YEARS 2010 OR OLDER EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 120,000 MILES (BECAUSE OF FAILURES?). CONCERN IS WHETHER NISSAN ACTUALLY CORRECTED CVT ISSUES ON LATTER YEAR MODELS. NEVER HAD A TRANSMISSION FAIL WITH SO FEW MILES.

WHEN DRIVING THE CVT TRANSMISSION WILL OVERHEAT AND LOSE ALL POWER, USUALLY WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY FOR A TIME FRAME OF 20 MINUTES TO AN HOUR OR SO INTO YOUR TRIP, WHICH REALLY SUCKS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC BECAUSE YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING BUT HOPE YOU GET TO THE SAFETY OF THE SIDE BEFORE YOU ARE SMASHED BY AN 18 WHEELER OR ANY OTHER VEHICLE WHICH COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. NISSAN KNOWS OF THIS AND WILL NOT RECALL THESE TRANSMISSIONS MY VEHICLE IS ONLY 3 OR 4 YEARS OLD AND I WILL NOT TAKE IT ON TRIPS OVER 50 MILES OR SO. I HAVE NOTICED MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE AND NISSAN WILL NOT FIX IT THEY ACTUALLY LESSENED THE WARRANTY IN 2010 FROM 10 YRS 120,000 MILE TO 5 YR 60,000 WITHOUT REALLY ADDRESSING THE ISSUE! NISSAN HAS LOST MY RESPECT AND WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER UNLESS THIS ISSUE IS TAKEN CARE OFF THROUGH A MASSIVE RECALL!

WHEN YOU ACCELERATE,THERE IS A LOUD SQUEALING NOISE THAT OCCURS FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I TOOK THE ROGUE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THE SERPENTINE BELT WAS BAD. I HAD IT REPLACED...AND SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE SQUEALING NOISE WAS BACK AGAIN I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY ME THE SERPENTINE BELT WAS BAD AGAIN! THE CAR ONLY HAS A TOTAL OF 34,000 MILES ON IT AND THE 2ND BELT ONLY HAS ABOUT 500 OF THOSE MILES ON IT. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE ROGUE HAS A VIBRATION TO IT AT TIMES WHEN THE SQUEALING OCCURS . I ASKED THE DEALER IF THERE COULD BE A PROBLEM WITH THE CVT DUE TO THE SQUEALING AND VIBRATIONS WHEN ACCELERATING AND THEY TOLD ME "NO". I ASKED OTHER AUTO SERVICE SHOPS AND TOLD ME THAT IT SOUNDS VERY MUCH LIKE THE CVT IS STARTING TO HAVE ISSUES. I ALSO LOOKED UP PROBLEMS WITH THE ROGUE ON THESE ISSUES AND SEE THAT MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS BUT NISSAN IS NOT HAVING ANY RECALLS ON THIS HOWEVER, I DID FIND A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR ONE OF NISSAN'S OTHER VEHICLES(MURANGO) THAT HAS CVT SQUEALING AND SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND THAT IS BULLETIN NTB 08104 BUT NOTHING FOR THE ROGUES. WHY IS THAT WHEN THEIR TRANSMISSIONS ARE ALMOST THE SAME?

WHILE DRIVING MY 2012 NISSAN ROGUE BACK TO NJ FROM MD, MY CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN EVEN WHILE I WAS STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATION. RPMS WOULD SOAR UP ANY TIME I STEPPED ON THE PEDAL SO I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, LET THE CAR COOL FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN TRIED TO START IT UP AGAIN AND AS I STEPPED ON THE PEDAL THE CAR BARELY ACCELERATED (JUST INCHED ALONG), LEAVING ME TO CALL AAA AND HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO NJ. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP, THE NEXT DAY I RECEIVED A CALL THAT MY TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR IS ONLY 3.5 YEARS OLD (WELL TAKEN CARE OF) AND EVEN THOUGH IT HAS 77,000 MILES ON IT, A CAR AS NEW AS THIS ONE SHOULDN'T BE HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND AFTER GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THEM A FEW TIMES THEY DECIDED THEY ARE NOT GOING TO HELP ME BECAUSE THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY, MIND YOU BACK IN 2003-2010 THEY PUT OUT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM ON ALL NISSAN ROGUES DUE TO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, SO THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE THEN I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY AREN'T ACKNOWLEDGING THE ISSUE NOW. I AM STILL PAYING THE CAR OFF AND NOW THEY EXPECT ME TO PAY $4,000 TO HAVE THE TRANS FIXED. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS I HAVE FOUND THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS IN NISSAN CARS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM, ACTUALLY A VERY COMMON ISSUE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS! LOOKING FOR ANY HELP I CAN GET ON THIS BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION IS A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX!

ON 10/30/15, I WAS DRIVING MY NISSAN ROGUE AND PULLED OUT AT A LIGHT IN ABINGDON, VA ONTO A MAIN HIGHWAY. IT WAS DARK AND AROUND 7:00 P.M. AND HAD JUST BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY MADE A REALLY LOUD NOISE THAT SOUNDED ALMOST LIKE DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH A FLAT AND THEN THERE WAS AN ODOR THAT SMELLED LIKE SOMETHING ON FIRE. I GAVE IT GAS, BUT IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED AS I WAS PUSHING THE GAS TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE ROAD AND UNABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE. I HAD MY 10 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER IN HER CAR SEAT IN THE REAR OF THE CAR. WITH HELP I WAS ABLE TO PUSH VEHICLE PARTIALLY OUT OF THE ROAD. MY DAUGHTER AND I SAT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR ALMOST THREE HOURS BEFORE A TOW TRUCK CAME TO PICK US UP. I CONTACTED NISSAN IN BRISTOL AND WAS TOLD THAT THE POWER TRAIN IS NOT UNDER ANY WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 81,000 MILES ON IT. I THOUGHT THE VEHICLE HAD A 5 YEAR 100,000 MILE WARRANTY, BUT WAS TOLD THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. MY CONCERN IS I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION GOING OUT. TOOK VEHICLE TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP AND WAS TOLD THE TORQUE HAD LITERALLY EXPLODED SENDING METAL THROUGHOUT THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER RESEARCHING, I SAW WHERE NISSAN HAD REIMBURSED PEOPLE FOR TRANSMISSIONS AND EXTENDED POWERTRAIN WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS/120,000 MILES. IT HAS A CVT TRANSMISSION. I WAS WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR OVER 2 WEEKS. THE VEHICLE HAS SINCE BEEN REPAIRED BUT THERE IS STILL A NOISE AND THE REPAIRMAN SAID THAT I WAS GOING TO NEED TO GET A DRIVESHAFT FOR THE VEHICLE AS IT HAD BEEN DAMAGED AS WELL. I AM STILL PAYING ON THIS VEHICLE AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. MY HUSBAND CONTACTED NISSAN AND HE WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. I CONTACT NISSAN ON 11/16/15 AND WAS TOLD IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY UNTIL 1/13/16. BUT I HAD TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AT A NISSAN DEALER. VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY AMOCO ASKING FOR REIMBURSEMENT. THANK YOU. *TR

AFTER THE VEHICLE GETS WARM THE TRANSMISSION WILL INTERMITTENTLY WHINE (STARTED AFTER 50,000 MILES. IT INCREASES WITH SPEED AND IS MOST NOTICEABLE WITH THE WINDOW OPEN. IT ALSO STARTS TO LOOSE POWER IF YOU CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT. IF YOU PARK AND LET THE TRUCK SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES THE WHINING STOPS. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TODAY AND THEY SAY THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I ALSO HAD A 2010 NISSAN ROGUE WHICH DID THE VERY SAME THING AT ALMOST THE SAME MILEAGE. NISSAN DID REPLACE THE CVT TRANSMISSION ON THAT ONE.
