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.

DUNLOP 7000 SERIES V RATED HAD THESE ON A 2012 ROGUE VERY UNSAFE IN WET NO TRACTION AT ALL IN SNOW AND ICE EVEN WITH AWD VEHICLE WORST TIRE EVER OWNED UNSAFE DANGEROUS. DUNLOP REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE MANUFACTURING DEFECTS IN THESE TIRES IE.....NO TRACTION AT ALL, VERY DANGEROUS AS A N ALL SEASON TIRE IN ANY SNOW OR ICE CONDITION. NISSAN REFUSES TO STOP PUTTING THESE ON THEIR CARS. CONSUMERS ARE AT RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH WITH THESE ON THEIR CARS.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO HEARD A LOUD ABNORMAL NOISE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. AFTER THE THIRD TECHNICIAN, IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKES NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT SMELLED AN UNKNOWN ODOR COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT HAD EXPERIENCED THE FRONT WIND SHIELD CRACKING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.

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.

I HAVE ONLY HAD MY USED. NISSAN ROGUE FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF. I ALWAYS KEEP UP WITH THE MAINTENANCE. I FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM AS I WAS DRIVING FROM DALLAS, TX UP TO OKLAHOMA CITY, OK. ABOUT ONE HOUR INTO THE DRIVE UP TO OKLAHOMA, THE SPEED BEGAN TO DROP WITHOUT ANY NOTICE, AND FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE VIHECHLE WAS NOT OVER HEATING, AND I HAD ORIGINALLY SET THE CRUISE CONTROL AT ABOUT 70 MPH. AS CARS WERE PASSING BY, IT SLOWLY BEGAN TO DECREASE IT'S ACCELERATION. NO MATTER HOW MUCH I STEPPED ON THE GAS IT WOULD NOT GO UP IN SPEED. I WAS NOT EVEN GOING UP HILL AT THIS POINT. THE SPEED LIMIT MUST HAVE BEEN AT ABOUT 70 MPH AND MY ROGUE'S SPEED KEPT DECREASING AND OTHER CARS, AND 18-WHEELERS KEPT PASSING US. TO THE POINT WHERE IT WAS ONLY GOING 35 MPH. I HAD TO STOP AND PULL OVER FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES AND THEN IT BEGAN WORKING NORMAL. I FIRST THOUGHT IT MAY HAVE BEEN A ONE TIME THING. NOW AFTER A FEW TRIPS IT HAS BECAME A REAL PROBLEM. I AM GOING TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT BY NISSAN. TODAY ON MY WAY TO WORK (ABOUT A 40 MIN. DRIVE FROM HOME) AS I GOT OFF THE FREEWAY I CAME TO A FULL STOP AT A RED LIGHT, ONCE THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN MY CAR WAS STILL ON BUT IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL FOR AT LEAST 20 SECONDS. I HAD TO TURN MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON TO LET THE CARS BEHIND ME PASS ME. WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED MY USED ROGUE I MADE A DRIVE FROM DALLAS TX, TO NEW ORLEANS, LA. AND I HAD NO PROBLEMS. NOT EVEN A YEAR LATER I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATION, AND JUST TWO DAYS AGO I HEARD AA STRANGE RATTLING NOISE. I FINALLY HAVE SOME TIME OFF TOMORROW AND I AM GOING TO GET SOME ANSWERS AND SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. NISSAN NEEDS TO GET THIS FIXED, THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM!

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.
