WITH NO WARNING NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NOTHING ONE DAY I LEFT FOR WORK AND HARDLY HAD ANY ACCELERATION TURNED AROUND BROUGHT IT BACK HOME. HAD TO TAKE IT TO NISSAN BECAUSE IT'S A CVT AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY 2013 WITH 134000 MILES AND STILL OWE $7000 ON THE TRANSMISSION WENT. THE "REFURBISHED" TRANSMISSION QUOTE WAS $2400 JUST FOR THE PART. WE LIVE PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK AND CANT AFFORD THAT SO I CONTACTED CORPORATE NISSAN WHO DID AN "INVESTIGATION" AND DENIED THAT THEY WERE AT FAULT FOR THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL ARTICLES ABOUT COMPLAINTS OF LOSS OF ACCELERATION. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD, LIKE I SAID WE HAD NO WARNING AT ALL.

I HAVE A 2013 NISSAN ROGUE. 104,000 MI. I'VE HAD ABOUT 2 YRS, AND TOOK IT FOR OIL CHANGE AND TRANSMISSION CHECK. IT WAS LOSING POWER WHEN I APPLIED THE GAS PEDAL. THEY INFORMED ME MY ONLY CHOICE WAS A NEW TRANSMISSION. WHAT? WHY? APPARENTLY, THIS CVT TRANSMISSION HAS BURNED UP IN MY VEHICLE. MEANWHILE, NOTHING ON THE DASH EVER TOLD ME I HAD ANY PROBLEMS. NISSAN DOESN'T OFFER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON 2013 NISSAN ROGUE. THEY STARTED IT IN 2014!
