2011 Nissan Rogue

ON JUNE 15, 2018, I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND MY NISSAN ROGUE 2011 WITH A CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT) STARTED TO LOSE POWER FOR NO APPARENT REASON, AND IT DECELERATED FROM 70 TO 40 MILES PER HOUR (MPH) IN A 70 MPH ZONE. THE ENGINE WAS MAKING A WHINING NOISE WHILE REVVING AT HIGH RPM'S. I TRIED TO ACCELERATE BACK UP TO THE SPEED LIMIT AND IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE MORE THAN 40 MPH AND THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV AT HIGH RPM'S. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE FREEWAY SHOULDER AND PUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH. I EXITED THE OFF RAMP AND STOPPED AT THE STOP SIGN. WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR WAS VERY SLUGGISH AND I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AGAIN BECAUSE IT WASN'T ACCELERATING AND WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 2 MPH. THE ONLY WAY I COULD DRIVE WAS TO DOWN SHIFT TO LOW AND DRIVE AT LOW SPEED ON SURFACE STREETS. CARS WERE HONKING THEIR HORNS BEHIND ME BECAUSE MY CAR WOULD TAKE 5 - 10 SECONDS TO MOVE FORWARD FROM A STOP SIGN. I HAD TO STAY IN LOW GEAR BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE IN REGULAR DRIVE GEAR. I STOPPED AT AN AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOP AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE LOCAL AAMCO TRANSMISSION SHOP REFUSED TO WORK ON NISSAN ROGUE TRANSMISSIONS. THE AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOP SAID THAT IT WOULD COST $4,500 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. I SHOULDN'T BE HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ON A 2011 VEHICLE. I HEARD THAT NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR NISSAN ROGUE TRANSMISSIONS BUILT BEFORE 2011. MY NISSAN ROGUE WAS BUILT IN 2011 SO THE WARRANTY EXTENSION DOESN'T APPLY TO MY VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO 60 MPH WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NISSAN OF NORTH OLMSTED (28500 LORAIN RD, NORTH OLMSTED, OH 44070, 440-734-6900) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST BE PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 113,000.

SEPT 2017 I PAID SANDY SANSING NISSAN 853.00 TO REPLACE MY DEFECTIVE CVT JATCO TRANSMISSION THAT FAILED. NOW JANUARY 28, 2018 WITH LESS THAN 6000 MILES ON NEW TRANSMISSION I WAS DRIVING INTERSTATE 70 MPH POSTED SPEED IN HEAVY RAIN WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO GO UP IN RPMS REVVING BEFORE IT QUICKLY BEGAN TO LOSE SPEED. SAME THING AS BEFORE. THE ROADS WERE SLICK DUE TO 24 HOURS OF RAINFALL PLACING MYSELF IN A DEADLY SITUATION. I'M NOT WILLING TO RISK MY LIFE OR THE LIFE OF MY CHILDREN AND HUSBAND FOR A KNOWN DEFECT NISSAN HAS BEEN AWARE OF, AND SUED FOR NUMEROUS MODELS ALREADY AND YET STILL INSTALLING DEFECTIVE CVT TRANSMISSIONS WITH ONLY A 12,000 MILE OR 12 MONTH WARRANTY ON THEIR REPLACEMENT MODELS WHICH STATES THEY KNOW THEY ARE TRASH AND STILL DECEIVE THEIR CUSTOMERS. NISSAN OWNERS SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE DEATH TRAPS THEY ARE DRIVING AND NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS THEY CONTINUE TO SELL TO CONSUMERS WITHOUT DISCLOSING THE POTENTIAL LOSS OF LIFE THAT COULD OCCUR.

THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE MORE THAN 50 MILES AT A TIME . IF I AM DRIVING FOR A LONG TIME AND SLOW DOWN MY CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE ANYMORE. I HA E TO SHUT MY CAR OFF FOR AT LEAST 5 MIN. BEFORE I CAN START DRIVING AGAIN. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE POWER TRAIN. IT STRUGGLES TO KEEP UP AND ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE THE CAR IS GOING TO DIE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO NISSAN DEALERSHIPS 3 TIMES BEFORE MY EXTENDED WARRENTLY WAS UP AND PAID $100 EVERY TIME THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG AFTER THE HOOK IT UP TO THE COMPUTER.

I WAS TRAVELING TO SACRAMENTO FROM LOS ANGELES IN OCT. 2016. AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 4 HOURS MY CAR STARTED TO LOSE SPEED. I PUSHED THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE ANY FASTER. I PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY AND WAITED FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND THEN GOT BACK ON THE ROAD AND THEN WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND NEVER WENT OFF. ON THE WAY HOME I WAS HEADED UP THE GRAPEVINE (I-5 SOUTH) AND I LOST SPEED AGAIN AND PULLED OVER TO THE TRUCK LANE GOING UPHILL AND MY SPEED DROPPED AS LOW AS 20 MPH AND THAT WAS WITH ME PUSHING THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I HAD SEVERAL SEMI-TRUCKS BEHIND ME AND COULD NOT CHANGE LANES WITHOUT POSSIBLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I WAS VERY SCARED AND ONCE I MADE IT UP THE HILL I WAS ABLE TO GAIN A LITTLE SPEED GOING DOWNHILL AND CONTINUED HOME. II TOOK MY CAR TO A MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THAT IT WAS AN ISSUE W/MY TRANSMISSION. I CALLED NISSAN AND SINCE I WAS BARELY OVER MY WARRANTY I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR MY TRANSMISSION MYSELF AND I WAS VERY UPSET AS MY CAR HAD JUST OVER 60,000. I STARTED RESEARCHING MY ISSUE AND DISCOVERED THIS WAS A COMMON, KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NISSAN AND ROGUE'S IN PARTICULAR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I HOPE THEY DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE. HAVING YOUR SPEED DROP SO DRAMATICALLY ON A BUSY INTERSTATE W/SEVERAL SEMI-TRUCKS IS VERY FRIGHTENING. SINCE THEN I HAVE NOT DRIVEN MY CAR ON TRIPS OVER 2 HOURS AWAY BECAUSE I DON'T FEEL SAFE. I HAD THIS SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM MONTHS BEFORE ON A TRIP TO LAS VEGAS BUT JUST LET IT GO BECAUSE NO WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE. I WAS COMPLETELY SHOCKED TO SEE THAT NISSAN KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM W/THE TRANSMISSION AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX IT. I NOW HAVE A RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM MY CAR AND I'M AFRAID TO SEE WHAT THAT IS GOING TO COST ME. I ONLY DRIVE TO/FROM WORK AND WORK LESS THAN 5 MILES FROM MY HOME. UGH!!

WHEN IN HIWAY RUNNING WITH CRUISE CONTROL AT 60MPH OR MORE GOING UPHILL LOOSE POWER AND EVEN WITHOUT CRUISE GOING UPHILL ENGINE LOOSE POWER AND ITS DANGEROUS IT HAPPEN GOING TO SAN DIEGO CA AND AGAIN GOING TO ALBUQUERQUE NM AND LOCALY AT TRANSMOUNTAN RD WE NOTICE NO ENGINE OVER HEAT NO TRANSMISSION OVER HEAT AND EVERYTHING NORMAL BUT THE LOOSE OF POWER WHEN TRAVELING OVER THE HILL AT 60 MPH OR MORE WITH OR WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL

I BEGAN TO DRIVE THIS 2011 NISSAN ROGUE AND NOTICED WHEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, WHEN IT TURNED GREEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS ACCELERATOR AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER AND OVER AGAIN. WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING A SPEED OF 70 MILES MY CAR BEGAN TO LOOSE POWER, AND SPEED. IT WENT AS LOW AS 40 MILES AND I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT. I WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN HIGHWAY SPEED. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR INDICATORS EVER CAME ON. NEITHER WITH THE FIRST ISSUE, OR THE SECOND ISSUE. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING. I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 6 YR OLD WHO HAS SPECIAL NEEDS THE FIRST TIME. I BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY THINKING THAT WOULD HELP. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN, WHILE DRIVING WITH MY TWO BOYS AND TWO GRANDSON'S IN THE CAR. I AGAIN LOST POWER AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY ON THE HIGHWAY. CARS WERE FLYING BY ME, AND I FELT HELPLESS AS THIS VEHICLE WOULDN'T MAINTAIN A PROPER HI-WAY SPEED. VERY DEBILITATING. SCARY WHEN YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER YOUR VEHICLE SPEED, AND CAN'T ACCELERATE. NISSAN STATES THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THE CVT. THEY HAVE AGREED TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION AS IT HAS ALSO FAILED. BUT REFUSE TO PAY FOR THE WORK?? PLEASE HELP, AS I AM SURE I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON GOING THROUGH THIS RIGHT NOW. SO IF THEY REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION WHO'S TO SAY IT WONT HAPPEN AGAIN???

WHILE DRIVING LONG DISTANCES AT HIGH SPEEDS (75-80MPH) THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING EVEN WITH GAS PEDAL FLOORED. THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY DECELERATED TO 50 MPH AND MAXED OUT AT 60 MPH. WE PULLED THE CAR OVER AND CHECKED ALL FLUIDS, WHICH PROVED NORMAL. WE TURNED THE CAR OFF TO LET IT COOL FOR A FEW MINUTES. ONCE THE CAR WAS TURNED BACK ON IT DROVE NORMALLY FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND THEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. THIS PATTERN CONTINUED FOR THE ENTIRE 7 HOUR ROAD TRIP. ONCE WE TOOK THE CAR INTO A NISSAN SHOP, WE WERE TOLD THAT NOTHING WAS FOUND DURING DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. WE WERE ALSO TOLD THIS WAS A REOCCURRING PROBLEM WITH NISSAN ROGUES DUE TO OVERHEATING OF TRANSMISSION/TRANSMISSION FLUID. IT WAS EXPLAINED TO US THAT NISSAN HAS NOT MADE A RECALL ON THIS, BUT HAS ONLY PROVIDED WARRANTIES FOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES ON 2008-2010 MODELS. UNFORTUNATELY MINE IS A 2011. THIS PUT MY FAMILY IN VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS AS WE WERE ON INTERSTATES WITH CARS AND SEMI TRUCKS TRAVELING AT VERY HIGH VELOCITIES. SEMI TRUCKS WERE HONKING AND FLASHING LIGHTS AT US OUT OF ANGER AS IT PUT THEM IN DANGER AS WELL. THIS COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED A ROAD RAGE INCIDENT.
