2012 Nissan Rogue

I WAS HEARING A STRANGE NOISE WHEN I WOULD TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE EXCELERATOR I WOULD HEAR ANY LOUD FLUTTERING SOUND. BROUGHT IT INTO NISSAN SERVICE. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL CASE. AS A RESEARCHED I FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN MY VEHICLE THAT ENDED UP AS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM. ALTHOUGH MINE WAS CAUGHT BEFORE I HAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT THEY COST FOR A REPAIR IS OVER $3500. IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WHY IS NISSAN STILL PUTTING THESE CARS ON THE ROAD WITH THIS PROBLEM?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO ROCKLAND NISSAN (608 NY-303, BLAUVELT, NY 10913, (845) 358-6700) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

MY SIDE-SEAT PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR - LOCATED IN THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT - KEEPS TURNING OFF. THIS SENSOR HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR 2013 MODELS. WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT ITS NOT UNDER WARRANTY - OR RECALLED FOR 2012 - AND THE COST IS EXTREMELY PROHIBITIVE AND EXORBITANT SINCE IT CANNOT BE FIXED UNLESS YOU PURCHASE A NEW SEAT FOR $2,600.00. THIS SETS UP FOR AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION IF INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 44,000 MILES AND THERE HAVE BEEN THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS FILED FOR THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE.

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE BETWEEN 70-80MPH MY VEHICLE DROPPED TO 60MPH AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 60MPH, THEN WHEN PULLING OFF AN EXIT SCARED IT WOULDN'T GO PAST 20MPH. THIS PUT MY SON AND I'S SAFETY AT SERIOUS RISK WITH HAVING NO CONTROL OVER ACCELERATION. I GOT TO A MECHANIC WHICH DID A DIAGNOSTIC AND TOLD ME IT WAS TORQUE CONVERTER WITH TRANSMISSION. THE CAR ONLY HAS 65K MILES. THIS IS INSANE TO HAVE THESE ISSUES AND CLEARLY THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. I FORTUNATELY PURCHASED A TRANSMISSION WARRANTY. WAITING TO SEE WHAT THE TOTAL DAMAGE IS. THIS SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE A SAFETY RECALL.

NISSAN INSTALLED DEFECTIVE CVT TRANSMISSIONS IN SEVERAL VEHICLES BETWEEN 2010-2016. MY 2012 NISSAN ROGUE IS INCLUDED IN THAT. I AM NOW BEING TOLD THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION, AND NISSAN IS REFUSING TO REPLACE. IT. MY VEHICLE STARTS FINE, BUT THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE, I'VE FOUND NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE, AND I FEEL THERE NEEDS TO BE A FURTHER INVESTIGATION, AND RECALL ON THIS CVT TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE STARTS, BUT WHEN YOU TRY AND ACCELERATE, THE RPMS GO UP, BUT NOTHING HAPPENS, THEN IT WILL SCREECH AND LURCH FORWARD. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHO CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE SALESPERSON AT THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED ME THAT NISSAN WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE OLDER CVT TRANSMISSIONS, AND HAVE FIXED IT IN THE NEW 2019 MODELS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, AS MY TRANSMISSION FAILED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, WITH NO WARNING.
