Nissan Rogue transmission problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ROUGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER ENGAGING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS THAT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS MERGED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WHERE THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ENGAGE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE RESUMED TO ITS NORMAL OPERATIONS. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVEN DIFFERENT TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,300 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80,400.

TL * THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ROUGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD DECELERATE SPORADICALLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE CONTINUOUS VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT) HAD OVERHEATED CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO BURN UP. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND SHUTTERED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE DEFECT WAS ALSO PRESENT WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 146,000.

THE CAR STARTED JOLTING WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP AND THEN EVENTUALLY WENT INTO GEAR AND DROVE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO INVESTIGATE (PUTTING A TOTAL OF 10 MILES ON THE CAR BETWEEN TIME THE ISSUE STARTED AND DROPPING OFF AT DEALER - MASTRIA NISSAN IN RAYNHAM, MA). DEALER TOLD US THE CVT TRANSMISSION NEEDED FULL REPLACEMENT, BUT CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL DEALER GOT THE PART...IT WOULD JUST SOUND WEIRD. DEALER CALLED ABOUT 5 DAYS LATER AND TOLD US TO DRIVE THE CAR IN TO HAVE THE REPAIR DONE UNDER A NEW WARRANTY NISSAN WAS OFFERING DUE TO EXCESSIVE DEFECTS IN THE CVT TRANSMISSION. ON THE WAY THERE, THE CAR STARTED DECELERATING RAPIDLY ON ITS OWN APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT AND FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL...EVENTUALLY SLOWING TO ABOUT 1 MILE AN HOUR...REALLY LIMPING ALONG AS I TRIED TO MAKE IT UP TO STOP LIGHT TO TURN ONTO A SIDE STREET TO CALL A TOW TRUCK. AS I LIMPED UP TO THE STOP LIGHT, THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY SWITCHED INTO LA DIFFERENT GEAR AND ACCELERATED VERY FAST AND SHOT ME OUT INTO THE INTERSECTION THROUGH A RED LIGHT! I JUST BARELY AVOIDED A SERIOUS COLLISION AND THEN IMMEDIATELY PULLED THE CAR OFF THE ROAD AND CALLED THE TOW TRUCK. I AM REPORTING THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THIS CVT DEFECT IS DEADLY!!! NISSAN IS JUST TREATING IT AS A WARRANTY ITEM...BUT IT REALLY NEEDS A FULL RECALL! IT CAN MAKE THE CAR IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATE OR DECELERATE WITHOUT ANY ACTION BY THE DRIVER...AND THE FACT THAT IT HAPPENS MOST AT LOW SPEEDS MEANS IT IS LIKELY TO HAPPEN WHEN SLOWING FOR AN INTERSECTION OR ATTEMPTING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC. IT IS ALSO AN ISSUE BECAUSE IT GOES FROM NO SYMPTOMS TO FULL FAILURE VERY QUICKLY. PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO MAKE NISSAN RECALL THESE CVT TRANSMISSIONS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

ON A DRIVE FROM NC TO GA WE NOTICED THAT WE WERE LOSING ACCELERATION ON EVERY HILL ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER ABOUT 2 1/2 HOURS INTO THE DRIVE. WE COULD NOT ACCELERATE UP HILLS AND PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. AS WE CLIMBED THE HILLS WE LOST ACCELERATION. AFTER STOPPING FOR LUNCH THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO GO AWAY UNTIL ANOTHER 2 1/2 HOURS MORE WHERE THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE. TRACTOR TRAILOR TRUCKS WERE BARRELING DOWN ON US BECAUSE WE KEPT LOSING ACCELERATION. WE PULLED OFF AT AN EXIT AND BARELY COULD ACCELERATE FROM A STOP. WE PULLED INTO A NISSAN DEALER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID THEY THOUGHT IT WENT INTO SAFETY MODE BUT COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THAT THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS AFTER A COUPLE HOURS INTO THE DRIVE AND GOES INTO THE SAFETY MODE WHICH REDUCED ACCELERATION AND POWER. NISSAN SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT THEY CAN ONLY DO SO BY DRIVING IT MORE THAN 2 HOURS. *KB

WHILE COMING OFF AN INTERSECTION THE 2008 ROGUE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSETION. PRESSING THE GAS WOULD SLOW THE CAR MORE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED. EVENTUALLY AFTER PUMPING THE GAS THE CAR WOULD MOVE AGAIN. I HAD THE DEALER LOOK AT THE CAR AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND SAID IT WAS JUST TOO HOT OUTSIDE CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO RUN HOT. I LIVE IN AZ AND IT IS ALWAYS HOT OUT HERE. THE SAME INCIDENT HAPPENED 2 TIMES AFTER I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. *TT

AFTER DRIVING 2009 NISSAN ROGUE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR TWENTY OR MORE MILES, THE VEHICLE BEGINS MAKING HIGH PITCHED WHINE ON ACCELERATION, AND THE SMELL OF BURNING TRANSMISSION FLUID IS PRESENT. UPON COMPLETING A STOP AFTER TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE VEHICLE FAILS TO ACCELERATE UPON DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. THE VEHICLE FAILS TO MOVE FOR APPROXIMATELY FIVE SECONDS, THEN IT PROCEEDS TO MOVE VERY SLOWLY. THE VEHICLE ENGINE DOES NOT REV, THE RPM GAUGE REMAINS AT IDLE, EVEN WITH THE ACCELERATOR FULLY DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE. IN SITUATIONS REQUIRING QUICK BURSTS OF SPEED, SUCH AS ENTERING A MULTI-LANE HIGHWAY FROM A SIDE STREET, THIS HAS PLACED THE VEHICLE IN THE POSITION OF BLOCKING THE HIGHWAY WHILE FAST MOVING VEHICLES ARE APPROACHING. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS A TRANSMISSION SPECIALTY REPAIR SHOP AND HAVE BEEN TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. *TR
