2012 Nissan Rogue

THE CVT HAS LOST 95% OF THE POWER DURING DRIVING. LUCKILY WE WERE ONLY 1/2 MILE FROM HOME, SO WE TURNED AROUND. WE HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $3400. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 77924 MILES ON IT. WE ASKED IF IT COULD BE REBUILT AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT HAS TO BE REPLACED WITH A RE MANUFACTURED UNIT. THEY CANNOT REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION. WE CONTACTED NISSAN TO OPEN A CASE AND THEY SAID THEY WILL NOT HELP IN THE COST OF A RE MANUFACTURED UNIT OR THE LABOR COST. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSAN AND PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS HAVE HAD THE WARRANTY EXTENDED TO COVER THE COSTS. AFTER READING ONLINE THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS TRANSMISSION AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR DEATH. NISSAN CASE IS UNDER SAMANTHA DIEZMAN THE CO OWNER OF THE VEHICLE.

WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AT TIMES THE VEHICLE WILL NOT RECEIVE A RESPONSE FROM THE GAS PEDAL (IT SEEMS LIKE) NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE TRANSMISSION NOT RESPONDING OR IF ITS THE THROTTLE BODY NOT RESPONDING. EITHER WAY BASED ON WHAT I HAVE READ ONLINE, THE BULK OF COMPLAINTS ARE POINTING TO THE CVT TRANSMISSION & MILEAGE IS RELATIVELY SIMILAR TO MY VEHICLE THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM AS WELL. MY KIDS TRAVEL IN THIS VEHICLE EVERY MORNING THAT I PURCHASED NEW FROM NISSAN. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE FROM NISSAN NOT TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM WHEN THEY (I'M SURE) KNOW OF ALL THE COMPLAINTS.

VEHICLE HAS AN ACCELERATION PROBLEM, ON LONG DRIVES THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS AND IT DOES NOT ACCELERATE AS INTENDED; YOU STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR AND IT DOES NOT GO OVER 35-40 MILES PER HOUR, AND ON THE HIGHWAY IS VERY DANGEROUS, MY DAUGHTER ALMOST GOT HIT BY A SEMI ON HER WAY HOME FROM SCHOOL. SHE DRIVES 2:45 HOURS FROM AND TO SCHOOL. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND TOLD ME THAT WAS MY PROBLEM, THAT MY WARRANTY ALREADY EXPIRED AND THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL THEY COULD ANYTHING I AM ON MY OWN. CHECKED WITH THE INTERNET AND OTHER OWNERS AND TOLD ME THE SAME THING; IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT THEY DONT SEE IT THAT WAY IS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY AND ALSO THEY TOLD ME BECAUSE IT AS MY FIRST NISSAN; THEY COULD NOT HELP BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO BE A LOYAL CUSTOMER OF NISSAN IN ORDER FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO GET SOMETHING DONE. DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO. NEED HELP!!!

AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR OF HIGHWAY DRIVING, THE CAR WILL STOP ACCELERATING. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TODAY, 10/18/19, WHERE THE MECHANIC TOLD US THAT THE "TRANSMISSION WAS OVERHEATING". THEY COULD NOT TELL US WHAT WAS CAUSING IT WANT INSTALL AN ADDITIONAL PIECE OF EQUIPMENT THAT WILL PROVIDE A TEMPORARY FIX. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND SCARY SITUATION; THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. *TR

WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE LONG DISTANCES IT WILL LOSE POWER WITHOUT NOTICE. WHEN DRIVING ACCELERATION WILL GO DOWN TO 0 MPH. IF YOU PUT THE GAS PEDAL ON THE FLOOR IT WILL STILL NOT ACCELERATE. THIS CAR CAN NOT BE DRIVEN LONG DISTANCES, AS IT HAS PLACED MY FAMILY IN DANGER NUMEROUS TIMES. I HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND ALLOW THE CAR TO SIT. MANY TIMES THIS HAS OCCURRED ON BUSY HIGHWAYS. THERE IS NO FIX WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I HAVE HAD 18 WHEELERS BEHIND ME WHEN THIS CAR HAS SUDDENLY STOPPED. NISSAN WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS ISSUE. WHEN INQUIRING ABOUT THE ISSUE NISSAN IS ONLY SEEKING A DIAGNOSTIC FEE. THROUGH RESEARCH I HAVE UNCOVERED THAT THIS IS A HUGE ISSUES IMPACTING TONS OF CUSTOMERS. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION SENSOR INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION TORQUE CLUTCH WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE VEHICLE STALLED DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000.

ONE TWO OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE THE CAR DECELERATED FROM 70 MPH TO UNDER 40 MPH WITH THE RPMS DROPPING DRAMATICALLY. FOLLOWING THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, THE DEALER TOLD US THEY COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM AND I MAY HAVE HIT THE WRONG PEDDLE. FOLLOWING THE SECOND OCCASION WE WERE TOLD IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND NEEDED $3000-$6000 IN REPAIRS. AFTER A ONE MINUTE GOOGLE SEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS HAS BEEN A NUMEROUS/CONTINUAL OCCURRENCE FOR SEVERAL YEARS WITH THE NISSAN ROGUE AND THEY WERE WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. NISSAN STATED THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST IN REPAIR COSTS AFTER FILING A COMPLAINT. HOW COULD THEY NOT HAVE KNOWN OF THIS PROBLEM WHEN IT IS EASILY IDENTIFIED IN A GOOGLE SEARCH? BOTH OCCURRENCES CREATED AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR MY FAMILY THE CAR IS 4 YEARS OLD WITH UNDER 70000 MILES. ATTACHED IS A SMALL SAMPLE FROM A GOOGLE SEARCH THAT WAS AVAILABLE TO THE DEALER WHO COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM.

I WAS DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, AT 70 MPH, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE RPM WENT TO 5000, AND THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DROPPED. I LEFT UP ON THE GAS PEDDLE, AND GRADUALLY PRESSED IT, AND MOVED OVER TO THE BERM; AS THE CAR WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 45 MPH, AT THE HIGHEST; WITHOUT THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING TOO MUCH THAT IT WOULD LOSE SPEED. IT ALSO IT HAD AN ODOR. ONCE I STOPPED AND EVERY THING COOLED, IT SEEMED TO RUN ALRIGHT. THAT WAS A WEEK AGO AND IT STARTED TO DO IT ,BUT NOT AS BAD TODAY; BUT I WAS ON REGULAR HIGHWAY AND DIDN'T TRAVEL NEAR AS FAR. I TOOK IT TO A GARAGE WHEN I LEFT THE INTERSTATE, AND TO THE NISSAN DEALER TODAY; AND BOTH SAID IT WAS A DEFECTIVE CVT TRANSMISSION, BUT WITH 76,000 MILES ON IT, THE DEALER TOLD ME NISSAN WONT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT ,

THE CVT TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS AND BEGINS TO WHINE. , [XXX]. : THANK YOU FOR WRITING ABOUT YOUR CONCERNS ABOUT YOUR NISSAN. THE NTSB DOESN'T HANDLE RECALLS AND ASSOCIATED VEHICLE SAFETY ISSUES OF THAT NATURE. HOWEVER, THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION DOES. THEY MAY BE REACHED THROUGH THEIR WEBSITE AT WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV, WHERE YOU WILL FIND COMPLAINT FORMS AND OTHER INFORMATION. [XXX] NTSB ATC INVESTIGATIONS -----ORIGINAL MESSAGE----- FROM: [XXX] [MAILTO:[XXX]] SENT: MONDAY, AUGUST 22, 2016 18:33 TO: TCAS SUBJECT: NISSAN ROUGE SAFETY ISSUE SENT FROM MY IPAD NISSAN SAFETY ISSUE ABOUT THERE CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURES. BEFORE FAMILIES ARE KILLED, NISSAN SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THESE TRANSMISSIONS. I OWN A 2012 NISSAN ROUGE THAT WHEN THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS THE CAR STARTS TO WHINE AND COMPLETELY LOSES POWER. THIS HAPPENED TO ME ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS ON THE HIGHWAY AND I THOUGHT L WAS GOING TO GET KILLED TRYING TO GET INTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE WITH NO POWER. I STEPPED ON THE GAS AND L WAS JUST LOSING POWER. I HAVE READ ABOUT MANY SIMILAR ISSUES ONLINE. NISSAN CLAIMS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY DEVICE AND WHEN THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS IS GOES INTO SAFE MODE. THIS IS NOT A SAFETY DEVICE, THIS IS GOING TO KILL PEOPLE IF IT HASN'T ALL READY. THE LONGER THE DRIVE AND THE WARMER THE DAY IS WHEN IT HAS MORE POTENTIAL FOR LOSS OF POWER. I AM AT THE POINT WHERE I AM AFRAID OF GOING ON ANY LONG DISTANCE DRIVE BECAUSE L FEEL I AM GOING TO LOSS POWER. THIS STARTING HAPPENING AT AROUND 55,000 MILES AND IS GETTING WORSE.THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THESE TRANSMISSIONS.
