2012 Nissan Rogue

MY CAR WILL LOSE ACCELERATION DURING A DRIVE LASTING MORE THAN ABOUT 90MIN AT GREATER THAN ABOUT 65MI/HR, SOONER IF IT'S HOTTER OUTSIDE. IT FIRST HAPPENED TO ME TRAVELING FROM TENNESSE TO FLORIDA THEN BACK. IT SLOWLY STARTED TO DECELERATE AND THE RPMS CLIMB IF YOU'RE NOT CAREFUL. I HAD TO PULL OVER A FEW TIMES TO LET THE CAR COOL DOWN IN ORDER TO CONTINUE. WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN 8HR DRIVE TURNED INTO A 10HR DRIVE. THAT WAS IN JUNE. NOT WE'RE IN JULY WHERE TEMPS HAVE BEEN 95⁰-100⁰ THE LAST FEW DAYS AND I'M PULLED OVER AGAIN WHILE TRAVELING, THIS TIME I ONLY MADE IT ABOUT 1HR. I'M HOPING NO DAMAGE HAS OCCURRED AND I CAN GET MOVING SOON. MY 4HR ROUND TRIP WILL BE MUCH LONGER TODAY. I WISH I'D KNOWN THIS ABOUT THE CVT BEFORE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE.

MY ROGUE HAS A HARD TIME ACCELERATING, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S HOT OUT AND I HAVE THE AC ON. RECENTLY, WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL, I HAVE TO RELY ON THE MOMENTUM OF THE STOP AND GO TO CARRY ME. EVENTUALLY IT DOES ACCELERATE, BUT I HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE AC IS OFF. IT STARTED HAPPENING WHEN THE WEATHER TURNED WARMER. I GET REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND MAKE SURE MY FLUID ARE FLUSHED AND WITHIN A GOOD RANGE.

IN NOVEMBER 2017, WHILE DRIVING IN ONE OF THE PASSING LANES ON QEW DRIVING FROM BUFFALO, NY TO TORONTO, CANADA, AT APPX 70 MPH, THE CAR STARTED LOSING POWER AND SPEED. THE RPM STARTED REVVING ALOT BUT THE CAR SPEED DECREASED RAPIDLY. THE CARS BEHIND ME ALMOST REAR ENDED ME AT THIS SPEED. I WAS ON A 4 LANE THRUWAY AND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO PULL TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD TO THE SHOULDER BECAUSE ALL OF THE CARS WERE SPEEDING AROUND ME. QUITE FRANKLY, IT WAS A TERRIFYING SITUATION TO BE IN AS SEMI TRUCKS AND OTHER CARS GOING 70 - 80+ MPH WERE SPEEDING UP BEHIND YOU AS YOUR VEHICLE LOST POWER. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND LET THE CAR REST FOR ABOUT 1/2 HOUR THEN STARTED TO DRIVE AGAIN. I DROVE THE NEXT 30 MILES AT APPX 35-40 MPH WITH MY 4 WAY FLASHERS ON. THE CAR DID EVENTUALLY GET BACK TO SPEED AND SEEM TO DRIVE NORMAL. MILEAGE WAS APPX 125,000- 130,000. THIS HAPPENED A SECOND TIME IN MARCH 2019. I DROVE APPX 65 MILES ON COUNTRY ROADS IN A RURAL AREA TO PICK UP MY ELDERLY MOTHER TO TAKE HER TO THE HOSPITAL. THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER. THE RPM'S WERE GOING CRAZY, THE CAR LOST POWER. AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES, THE CAR EVENTUALLY GOT BACK TO SPEED AGAIN. I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE HER TO THE HOSPITAL IN MY CAR AND FORTUNATELY A NEIGHBOR LET ME USE THEIR CAR TO TRANSPORT MY MOM TO THE HOSPITAL. THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO DRIVE MY CAR THE 75 MILES BACK HOME AND IT DROVE OKAY BUT I WAS VERY WORRIED I WOULD NOT MAKE IT HOME. MILEAGE WAS APPX 145,000. THIS HAPPENED A 3RD TIME AUGUST OF 2019 WHILE TRAVELING WB ON THE NYS I-90 THRUWAY. AGAIN, I WAS IN THE PASSING LANE TRAVELING ABOUT 70 MPH WHEN THE RPM'S STARTED GOING CRAZY AND THE CAR LOST POWER. THIS TIME A SEMI TRUCK WAS BEHIND ME AND QUICKLY CLOSING IN ON MY CAR. AGAIN, IT WAS TOUGH TO GET TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD TO GET OUT OF FAST MOVING TRAFFIC. MILEAGE APPX 160,000.

I HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED IN AUGUST. I ORIGINALLY HAD TROUBLES IN MAY (CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND I HAD MY FOOT PEDAL ON THE FLOOR TRYING TO ACCELERATE ON THE INTERSTATE (40 MPH BEING PASSED BY SEMIS WITHOUT ANYWHERE SAFE TO PULLOVER) AND BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. IN AUGUST I HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS OF NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME MY TRANSMISSION WAS TOAST AND I NEEDED ANOTHER ONE. THEY TOLD ME THAT IF I DID NOT INSTALL THE COOLING KIT, IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO AAMCO FOR A SECOND OPINION. HE AGREED THAT I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND A COOLING KIT ADDED AS THIS IS COMMON WITH THE NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON AND THIS CAR WAS NOT SAFE ON THE ROAD. NISSAN CLEARLY KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR TRANSMISSIONS IN THIS MODEL AND ADMIT TO NEEDING AN ADD-ON COOLING KIT TO ADDRESS. IT WAS NEGLIGENT OF THE DEALERSHIP TO LET ME DRIVE OFF OF THE LOT IN MAY. IT IS NOW DECEMBER AND I AM HAVING TROUBLES WITH MY CAR AGAIN. WHEN I FIRST TURN MY CAR ON, IT MAKES A WHINING NOISE WITH PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. MY MECHANIC BELIEVES THIS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND I WILL BE BRINGING MY CAR TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO SEE. I ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON IN AUGUST AND MY CAR MAKING NOISES WITH CHANGING GEARS. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS DUE TO THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR. BUT, I AM STILL HAVING TROUBLES AND NOW I AM TOLD IT IS THE TRANSMISSION AGAIN. I AM NOT CONVINCED THAT ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE NOT ALL RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION. NISSAN KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND ARE ALLOWING PEOPLE TO DRIVE WITH AN UNSAFE VEHICLE.

AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR A FEW MONTHS IN JAN 2018 THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE DEALER SAID THE CAR NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. ON DEC 6TH, 2018 I PAID $3667.16 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY DUE TO THE MILES I DRIVE. NOW IN NOV OF 2019. WHEN AT TRAFFIC I STEP ON THE GAS AND THE CAR WILL NOT GO. ITS A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE I GET REAR-ENDED AT A LIGHT. ASF 11/29/19 THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 10 TIMES AND COUNTING. I SHUT THE CAR OFF THE RESTART AND THE CARGOES THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT EVEN A YEAR OLD AND IS GIVING ME A PROBLEM.

BOUGHT AUGUST 2012 WITH 89,530 MLS, AFTER 6 WEEKS , LOSING POWER , NOT ACCELRERATING WHEN GAS PEDAL PUSHED . WILL NOT MOVE AFTER BRAKING . 11/08/2019 WHILE DRIVING SHOWED ENGINE LIGHT - TOOK TO WORK SHOP , SHOWED 3 CODES INCLUDING P1778 . NOW WILL COST ME $2700 TO FIX . WORST KIND OF TRANSMISSION , WILL NOT RECOMMEND NISSAN VEHICLE WITH CVT TRANSMISSION
