2011 Nissan Rogue

2011 NISSAN ROGUE, DRIVING ON THE ROAD, LOOSING POWER AND NO RESPOND BY PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, AND ON RESPOND FROM THE CAR. 50000 MILES. NISSAN TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO DEALERSHIP AND HAVE IT CHECKED. DEALER SAID IT IS TRANSMISSION COOLER AND CLOSE TO $2000 TO FIX IT. NISSAN NOW IS REFUSING TO PAY FOR IT. THESE CVT TRANSMISSIONS ARE PIECE OF JUNKS, AND THEY KNOW IT TOO, BUT THEY KEEP PUTTING THIS JUNK DEFECT CVT DESIGN ON THEIR VEHICLES.. THEY HAVE EXTENDED THEIR WARRANTY ON 2008 , 2009, AND 2010 TO 120000 MILES OR 10 YEARS, SO THAT MEANS THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT WHY NOT ON 2011. WHAT A DIFFERENCE ?. 2011 HAS THE SAME TRANSMISSION AS 2008, 2009, AND 2010. GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO MAKE THEM TO FIX EVERY BAD CVT TRANSMISSION, AND NISSAN NEEDS TO STOP BUILDING THIS OF CRAP . OTHER AUTO DEALERSHIPS ARE LAUGHING AT NISSAN WITH THEIR CVT TRANSMISSION DESIGN. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS IT TAKES FOR NISSAN TO GET AFTER IT. THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS TERRIBLE AND NOT HELPFUL AT ALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE TRAVELING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED STALLING AND A LACK OF ACCELERATION. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. BOB HOWARD NISSAN (132000 BROADWAY EXT, OKLAHOMA CITY, OK) WAS CONTACTED AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION COOLER WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WAS CONTACTED AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000.

POWER TRAIN FAILURE!! DEATH RISK!! WHILE ON A ROAD TRIP, MY CAR COMPLETELY LOST POWER. MY FAMILY AND I WERE IN COMPLETE DANGER. AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 50 MILES, I LOST ALL SPEED AT THE EL CAJON PASS (15 FWY NORTH, HEADING TOWARDS VICTORVILE, CA). I WAS DRIVING AT AN UPHILL INCLINE WHEN I NOTICED MY SPEED WAS DECREASING AND I BEGAIN TO MAKE MY WAY TO THE RIGHT. THE FAR RIGHT LANE, THE "SLOW LANE" IS USED BY SEMI- TRUCKS AND EVEN THOUGH THEY TRAVEL AT AT SLOW SPEEDS THEY WERE TRAVELING AT A MUCH HIGHER SPEED. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO CROSS THROUGH IT AND IT WAS A MIRACLE THAT WE WERE ABLE TO GET INTO THAT LANE AND EXIT THE HIGHWAY UNHARMED. I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO DIE SMASHED BY AN 18 WHEELER. THERE ARE ALMOST 200 COMPLAINTS FOR THIS YEAR, MAKE, MODEL STATING THE SAME ISSUE JUST ON THIS SITE, AND THERE IS MANY MORE ON OTHER SITES. PLEASE LOOK INTO IT BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE. IVE CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY RESPONSIBILITY. NISSAN HAD TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE ON CVT TRANSMISSIONS ON PREVIOUS MODELS UP TO YEAR 2010 BUT WONT ADMIT TO 2011 VEHICLES HAVING THE SAME MALFUNCTIONING TRANSMISSION. THESE VEHICLES ARE UNSAFE AND CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE PREVENTABLE DEATHS. NO ONE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO SELL DEFECTIVE VEHICLES. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS SAFETY HAZARD. LETS PROTECT OUR FAMILIES.

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 YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL, THE ENGINE DOES NOT GO. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, OVER TEN, I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE (APPROXIMATELY 70MPH) AND THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO DECELERATE. IT DOES IT IF THE CRUISE CONTROL IS SET OR IF I AM MANUALLY PRESSING THE GAS. IT HAS DROPPED AS LOW AS 30 MPH WITHOUT RECOVERY AND I HAVE TO STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR 20-39 MINUTES AND THEN ATTEMPT TO DRIVE AGAIN EITHER VERY SLOWLY (APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH) AND/OR STOP FREQUENTLY TO LET THE ENGINE "REST".

WITH LOW MILES ON MY CAR I HAD A COMPLETE CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURE WITHOUT WARNING. IT STARTED WITH ONE BUMP BACKING UP. I PULLED OUT AND HAD POWER LOSS FOR A SHORT WHILE. WHEN I TRIED TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC AGAIN, I ALMOST GOT HIT AND THE CAR BUCKED AS I CROSSED THE ROAD AND TRIED TO MAKE IT TO A NEARBY PARKING LOT. I COULD ONLY GO ABOUT 10 MPH AND IT FELT LIKE THE FRONT END WAS GOING TO DROP AS IT BUCKED DOWN THE ROAD. WHEN I MADE IT TO THE PARKING LOT, IT WOULDN'T MOVE AT ALL AND IT HAD TO BE PULLED ONTO A FLAT BED. THE TRANSMISSION SHOP, RECOMMENDED A NEW TRANSMISSION BECAUSE IT WOULD BE CHEAPER THAN TRYING TO REBUILD THE CVT TRANSMISSION. AS THEY TRIED TO FIND A TRANSMISSION FOR MY VEHICLE, THEY SAID THEY FOUND MANY THAT WERE PULLED DUE TO DAMAGE WHICH TOLD THEM THE NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION WAS JUNK. THEY RECOMMENDED THAT I USE IT TIL THE NEW WARRANTY EXPIRED AND THEN MAYBE SELL THE VEHICLE. I WAS THE ONLY DRIVER OF THE CAR AND BABIED IT AND CHANGED THE FLUIDS AND ENDED UP TRADING THE CAR ON ANOTHER AS I COULD NOT TRUST THE ROGUE TO BE SAFE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AS IT FAILED US AND ALMOST GOT US HIT. THE CAR IS SOLD, BUT I WANT IT ON RECORD HOW DANGEROUS THE SITUATION WAS WHEN THE CVT TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WITHOUT ANY WARNING BEFOREHAND.
