2012 Nissan Rogue

JUST BOUGHT THE CAR @ 33,000 MILES. NOTICED ALMOST IMEDIATELY THAT THERE WAS SOME WHINING AND SQUEALING FROM THE TRANSMISSION AT VARIOUS TIMES AND SPEED (BOTH ON CITY STREETS AT LOWER MPH AND ON HIGHWAYS) IT WOULD STOP WHEN I DEPRESSED THE EXCELLERATOR. IT WASN'T CONSTANT AND I COULDN'T PIN POINT WHEN IT WAS ACCURING BUT IT HAPPENED ENOUGH. READ ALL SORTS OF THINGS AND SIMIALR STORIES WITH THESE NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSIONS, SO I CALLED THE DEALER (CARMAX) AND THEY SET UP AN APPOINTMENT AND TOOK IT IN. THEIR GUYS AGREED ADND SEND IT TO A LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AS IT'S UNDER WARRANTY, THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER IS TRYING TO SAY IT MIGHT BE THE WHEEL BEARINGS. I'M BESIDE MYSELF AND THE CARMAX SERVICE PEOPLE ARE FIGHTING FOR ME AS THEY AGREE WITH ME. MY RESEARCH SHOWS NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THIS EXACT PROBLEM OVER SEVERAL NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSIONS ON NUMEROUS MAKES OF VEHICLES.

COMING HOME ON I-94 SOUTH OF MADISON, WI. HAD THE CRUISE SET AT 75 MPH STARTED GOING UP A SLIGHT GRADE AND THE CRUISE KICKED OFF SO I APPLIED GAS TO THE POINT I HAD THE PEDDLE TO THE FLOOR AND STILL LOSING SPEED, SLOWED TO 55 MPH UNTIL I CRESTED THE HILL AND GAINED SPEED FOR THE NEXT HILL AND AGAIN SLOWED TO 60 MPH AND THEN GAINED SPEED AGAIN ON THE FLAT PARTS. I MADE IT TO MY EXIT, STOPPED, PUT IT IN PARK, THEN IN DRIVE, THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY BUT FOR HOW LONG, IS THIS THE BEGINNING OF THE END? THERE IS 86,000 MILES ON IT AND THE MORE I RESEARCH IT THE MORE IRRITATED I GET, IT IS DOING THE SAME THING ALL THE OTHER ONE'S ON YOUTUBE VIDEO'S FROM 2008 TO 2010. THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST, THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE CVT HAS TO BE EXTENDED FOR ALL CVT'S NO MATTER WHAT YEAR, THESE THINGS ARE AN ABOMINATION AND I HAVE NO MONEY FOR A REPAIR LIKE THIS. WATCH THIS VIDEO, SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=GG_ZF1EO0PW

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT WAS DIFFICULT TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE FROM THE PARK POSITION. IN ADDITION, WHEN CHANGING GEARS, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY SHIFTED BACK INTO THE PARK POSITION AND WAS UNABLE TO CHANGE GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE INTERLOCK BRAKE SHIFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000. UPDATED 11/20/15*LJ, 03/23/18 *JB

WHILE PULLING OUT ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY, MY TRANSMISSION STALLED, AND I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE MY VEHICLE, CAUSING ME TO ALMOST BE REAR ENDED BY A LOGGING TRUCK GOING 65MPH OR MORE. THE RPM'S OF THE VEHICLE WILL JUMP TO OVER 5000 WHILE TRYING TO PUSH ON THE GAS WITHOUT ACCELERATION. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH NISSAN TO HAVE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING DONE. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION IS THE PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, COSTING $5,000. THEY INFORMED ME THAT I NEEDED ANOTHER PART (SOME KIND OF TRANSMISSION COOLER) TO KEEP THE TRANSMISSION FROM OVERHEATING, WHICH WAS NEVER COMMUNICATED TO ME THROUGHOUT MY OWNERSHIP. AFTER DOING RESEARCH, I DISCOVERED THAT IN 2010, NISSAN EXTENDED THEIR WARRANTY TO 5 YEARS/120,000 MILES DUE THIS CVT PROBLEM. I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE SERVICE ADVISOR AT THE DEALERSHIP WHO STATED THAT WARRANTY IS FOR MODEL YEAR 2010 AND OLDER AND THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. HOWEVER, I BEG TO DIFFER. ATTEMPTING TO PULL OUT INTO MOVING TRAFFIC, CROSSING INTERSECTIONS, AND CARS STALLING OUT IN THE WINTER IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS CAR ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS OFFICE WITHOUT ANY RESPONSE. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS ISSUE BE INVESTIGATED AND CONSIDERED FOR A RECALL.

THE POWER TRAIN FAILED TO PROVIDE POWER TO THE VEHICLE ON THE INTERSTATE, I HAD TO SLOW DOWN ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE TIL POWER CAME BACK WHEN I SHIFTED IT TO NEUTRAL, THEN BACK TO DRIVE. I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM WITH NISSAN AND FOUND THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION THEY PUT IN THE VEHICLE WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS AND NO RECALL WAS MADE. THEY ASSERTED THAT MY WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THIS TELLS ME THAT THEY ONLY MAKE A CAR THAT LAST 85K MILES THEN YOU HAVE TO REPLACE A MAIN PART OF THE VEHICLE. I FEEL THIS WAS ALSO UNSAFE ON THE ROAD DUE TO IT LOSING POWER DUE TO POOR QUALITY OF PARTS. MY VEHICLE IS ONLY JUST HITTING 3 YEARS OLD. I DID HOWEVER MADE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT AND HAVING TO PAY FOR A USED TRANSMISSION TO BE PUT IN.

2012 NISSAN ROGUE CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE ACCELERATING ON A 2 LANE MERGE FROM ONE INTERSTATE ONTO ANOTHER PUTTING THE OCCUPANTS AT RISK WHILE ATTEMPTING TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. NISSAN HAS A LONG STANDING ISSUE WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION THAT ALLEGEDLY WAS RESOLVED AFTER A REDESIGN. NISSAN ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE (NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY D/T MILEAGE BUT DECLINED TO APPLY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WAS IN PLACE FOR EARLIER MODELS). DEALER REPAIRED AT A COST OF 1/4 OF THE VEHICLE COST WAS FOR A REBUILD, WARRANTY FOR THIS ONLY COVERS 1 YEAR/12K. NOT MUCH COMFORT REGARDING LONGEVITY OR PERSONAL SAFETY WITHIN THIS VEHICLE.

DRIVING AT 70 MPH GOING UPHILL THE CAR, WITH NO WARNING OR INDICATION, SLOWED DOWN TO 25 MPH. PRESS THE PEDAL FULLY WOULD NOT MAKE THE CAR GO ANY FASTER. IT WAS IN THE SUMMER SO IT WAS VERY HOT IN CALIFORNIA. WHEN YOU ON THE FREEWAY WITH TWO BABIES THE LAST THING YOU WANT IS YOUR CAR SLOWING DOWN TO 25 MPH. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT NEEDS A TRANSMISSION COOLER. IT TOOL 3 MONTHS FOR THEM TO GET THE PART. THEY INSTALLED IT IN THE WINTER AND OF COURSE IT IS NOT HOT ANYMORE. THIS SUMMER WE DROVE OUT TO ARIZONA DURING A RECORD HIGH HEAT WAVE AND ONCE AGAIN THIS TIME DRIVING 75 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON, IT DISENGAGED AND I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR DOWN AND THE CAR SLOW TO 60MPH ON FLAT GROUND. THEN ON A SLIGHT INCLINE THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN TO 45MPH IN A 70MPH ZONE. OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT WITH MY FAMILY. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A CAR THAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. SO I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY SAID SORRY WE CANNOT HELP YOU. THEY DO NOT EVEN OWN UP TO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. DO NOT BUY THIS CAR! NISSAN ROGUE 2012 TEST DRIVE THEM IN THE HOTTEST PART OF THE SUMMER AND I WOULD RECOMMEND TO DRIVE IT UPHILL DURING THIS TIME.

CVT TRANSMISSION HAS NEVER WORKED CORRECTLY. IT FINALLY FAILED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.NISSAN PUT MY FAMILY IN HARMS WAY..NISSAN REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND FIX UNDER WARRANTY A LONG SANDING PROBLEM WITH THESE CVT'S. THEY WERE REDESIGNED WHICH SHOWS THERE WAS A BIG PROBLEM. MY MODEL YEAR 2012 IS A HAZARD. .....UPDATED 10-15-15-*BF UPDATED 11/08/2017*CN
