2010 Nissan Rogue

I WAS DRIVING 80 MPH WITH TRAFFIC ON A HEAVILY CONGESTED HWY - I-4 WHEN THE TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING. THERE HAD BEEN A HIGH PITCHED WHINE DURING THE LAST HOUR OF TRAVEL AND THE CAR JUST STARTED DECELERATING. AIR TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS APPROX. 80 DEGREES. THERE WAS A SMELL POSSIBLY OF LEAKING FLUID. TOOK TO DEALER AND THERE IS A KNOWN TRANSMISSION PROBLEM ON NISSAN VEHICLES WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION CAUSING THEM TO OVERHEAT, ETC. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, NOT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE IS 4 YEARS OLD AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TRANSMISSION FAILURES. I WAS STUCK ON A HIGHWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE AND IT TOOK 2 HOURS TO GET TO A DEALER WHICH WAS ONE AND A HALF HOURS AWAY FROM HOME. *TR

THERE IS CLEARLY AN ACCELERATION PROBLEM WITH THE 2010 NISSAN ROGUE; OVER 900,000 PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED AND A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED. IT SEEMS THAT THE CAR HAS PROBLEMS ACCELERATING AFTER IT WAS STOPPED. IT TYPICALLY DID THIS IF YOU WERE EITHER STOPPED ON A HILL OR IF YOU STOPPED AFTER DRIVING HIGH SPEEDS ON THE INTERSTATE. AFTER SEVERAL INCIDENTS OVER THE COURSE OF 3 MONTHS (I PURCHASED VEHICLE AUGUST 2014), THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT IS NOW ON. I HAVE JUST A LITTLE OVER 38,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE LOSS OF ACCELERATION IS DANGEROUS FOR BOTH EXITING THE INTERSTATE AND TURNING RIGHT ON RED. *TR

DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE VEHICLE WOULD REFUSE TO ACCELERATE TO PASS A VEHICLE. HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES ON A 1 HOUR ROAD TRIP, CAUSING NEAR FATALITY AS CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE UP A HILL AND WHEN IN THE COURSE OF PASSING A DISABLEDVEHICLE, THE CAR WOULD NOT SPEED UP ENOUGH TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC SPEED IN ADJACENT LANE, CAUSING DRIVER BEHIND VEHICLE TO SLAM ON BRAKES TO AVOID COLLISION. THE VEHICLE REFUSED TO ACCELERATE THE REMAINDER OF THE TRIP (1 HOUR MORE) AND ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. *TR

GOING AT FREEWAY SPEED...COULD NOT ACCELERATE, NEITHER TO PASS NOR TO RECOVER FROM HAVING TO SLOW DOWN FOR TRAFFIC. WHEN PRESSING DOWN THE GAS PEDAL, NOTHING HAPPENED: NO ACCELERATION AND NO INCREASE IN RPM. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I WAS GOING UP A HILL. NOW IT HAPPENS ANY TIME I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 30 MINUTES OR MORE, FLAT ROAD OR INCLINE. THE CAR DOES FINE INITIALLY AND DURING NORMAL STOP AND GO CITY DRIVING FOR SHORT DURATIONS. THOUGHT PERHAPS IT WAS A CLOGGING IN FUEL INJECTORS, SO CLEANED THEM OUT TO NO AVAIL. DEALER SAYS THEY "CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG." THIS IS A DANGEROUS FLAW THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BY NISSAN!!!! *TR

MY DAUGHTER AND I WERE RETURNING HOME DRIVING ON INTERSTATE HWY WHEN CAR SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY LOSS ACCELERATION IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON INTERSTATE, GOING FROM 75-80 MPH TO 50-60 MPH WITHIN A MINUTE CAUSING BRAKING AND SWERVING OF CARS BEHIND US BECAUSE WE WERE IN LEFT LANE AND COULD NOT GET OVER. SEEMED TO OCCUR ON UPWARD INCLINE OF ROAD. TOOK CAR TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP BECAUSE WARRANTY IS STILL IN EFFECT, AND WAS TOLD THAT THEIR DIAGNOSES SHOWED NO PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME HE KNEW OF SOME PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSIONS, BUT COULD NOT MAKE REPAIRS UNLESS CORPORATE NISSAN REIMBURSED THEM. I WAS BASICALLY TOLD TO DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL IT "BROKE' AND THEN THEY COULD FIX IT. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE CAR ON INTERSTATE NOW- FEAR DEADLY CRASH. *TR

IS NISSAN THE NEXT TOYOTA?? WE WERE PULLING OUT OF A SHOPPING CENTER AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO PROPERLY ACCELERATE. THE GAS PEDAL WAS PUSHED TO THE FLOOR, ACCELERATION WAS AT MINIMUM AND THE RPMS REVVED UP EXTREMELY HIGH. THANK GOODNESS NO ONE HIT US. FINALLY, THE GEAR CAUGHT AND ALL WAS WELL. IT SEEMED LIKE THE TRANSMISSION MAY HAVE SLIPPED. THEN WE GOT TO MY PARENTS' HOME AND PARKED. THEN WE WENT TO MOVE OUT OF PARK AND THE GEARS WOULDN'T CHANGE (AUTOMATIC CVT TRANSMISSION). WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST CERTIFIED NISSAN REPAIR FACILITY. IN THE MEANWHILE, I LOCATED INFORMATION ON NISSAN'S WEBSITE REGARDING THE WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSION AND FOUND THAT NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FROM 5 YEARS/60,000 MILES TO 10 YEARS/120,000 MILES FOR 'CUSTOMER SATISFACTION' PURPOSES AND HERE IS THE INFORMATION ABOUT THAT HTTP://WWW.NISSANASSIST.COM/WEB/CVT/PROGRAMDETAILS.PHP?MENU=9 AND THE VEHICLES THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THE ISSUE ARE LOCATED HERE HTTP://WWW.NISSANASSIST.COM/WEB/CVT/VEHICLES.PHP?MENU=11 SO THE DEALERSHIP CALLS US ON JUNE 23 TO ADVISE THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND THE PROBLEM WITH GETTING THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK WAS AN ELECTRONIC ISSUE. I AM NOT A MECHANIC BUT IT DOES SEEM STRANGE THAT WE WOULD HAVE EXPERIENCED THE FIRST ISSUE, THEN THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T COME OUT OF PARK? I SPOKE WITH REGIONAL SPECIALISTS AT NISSAN NORTH AMERICA AND WAS TOLD THAT IF THE MECHANICS CANNOT REPLICATE, THEN NO REPAIR WILL BE AUTHORIZED UNDER THE WARRANTY AND THAT THE LIKELY CAUSE OF MY ISSUE WAS DIRTY TRANSMISSION FLUID. I FEEL THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF YOU PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC, EXPECTING YOUR VEHICLE TO GO AND IT DOESN'T, SOMEONE IS EVENTUALLY GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED! *TR
