I'VE BEEN HAVE SHAKING AND DELAYS WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. IT HAS ALTOGETHER FAILED NOW AND I'VE ONLY OWNED THE VEHICLE SINCE THE END 2017. IT DIDN'T LAST TWO YEARS.

I'VE BEEN HAVE SHAKING AND DELAYS WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. IT HAS ALTOGETHER FAILED NOW AND I'VE ONLY OWNED THE VEHICLE SINCE THE END 2017. IT DIDN'T LAST TWO YEARS. THERE IS NO WAY I WILL REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS AGAIN. SHAME ON NISSAN FOR NOT VALUING THEIR CUSTOMERS ENOUGH TO FIX THE CVT PROBLEMS. IF YOU'VE SETTLED IN COURT, THERE SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL ON ALL CVT TRANSMISSIONS. I WISH I KNEW ABOUT THE CVT ISSUES, I WOULD HAVE STEERED CLEAR OF NISSAN VEHICLES. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET WHEN IT WENT OUT. COULDN'T ACCELERATE AT A STOP LIGHT.

THEY RESET IT BUT IT CAME BACK ON. NEXT...THEY SAID THEY HAVE TO CHANGE THE SPIRAL CABLE- PART ALONE IS 682.00 AND IF THAT DOESNT DO IT, THEN THEY HAVE TO GO TO THE CONTROL BOARD AND THATS 1020.00 FOR PART... THEY ARE THE DEALER....BESIDES BEING A SAFETY ISSUE, HOW CAN THEY NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THE PROBLEM IS?? I CALLED NISSAN TO PUT IN A CLAIM. THEY ARE WILLING TO TAKE SOME MONEY OFF THE SPIRAL CABLE, BUT WHY AM I PAYING FOR THAT IF THEY AREN'T EVEN SURE THAT IS THE PROBLEM!!! THERE ABSOLUTELY SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS...HOW CAN WE GET THIS DONE?

I HAVE SPOKE WITH MANY OTHERS THAT HAVE THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL, 2013-2018 WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I WAS IN THE FAST LANE AND MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT TAKE THE GAS AND ENDED UP ON THE SIDE OF THE RODE THREE TIMES DURING MY TRIP. ONCE I TURNED MY VEHICLE OFF, IT WOULD DRIVE NORMAL UNTIL I DROVE FOR ANOTHER HOUR OR MORE.

MYSELF WITH MY 6 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WERE DRIVING FROM NEW HAVEN, CT TO FITCHBURG, MA. ABOUT 1 HOUR INTO THE DRIVE, MY 2013 NISSAN ROGUE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND 40MPH!!! WE WERE IN STEADY FAST MOVING TRAFFIC ON A HOT JULY 20TH, 2018 AFTERNOON, HEATWAVE WEATHER! IT WAS TERRIFYING!!! I PUT ON MY BLINKERS AND SLOWLY VEERED TO THE RIGHT LANE! I HAD TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY AND MAKE IT TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION. AFTER SEVERAL FRANTIC CALLS TO FAMILY MEMBERS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO, I DECIDED TO ADD ENGINE OIL, ANTI-FREEZE, GAS AND WATER HOPING SOMETHING WOULD HELP. AFTER SITTING FOR AN HOUR, I DROVE ON THE LOCAL ROADS TO TRY OUT THE CAR AGAIN BUT REALIZED I HAD TO GET BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AND TRY TO ACCELERATE ABOVE 60MPH AGAIN!!!! WE MADE IT TO OUR 3 HOUR TRIP DESTINATION. THE NEXT DAY ON THE WAY BACK, THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AND THIS TIME AFTER STOPPING FOR A WHILE MY CAR STILL WOULD NOT ACCELERATE UNTIL WE SAT WITH THE CAR OFF FOR AN HOUR IN THE HEAT IN A TOWN THAT I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH! WE HAD TO USE ALL LOCAL ROADS TO GET BACK HOME AND THAT TOOK DOUBLE THE TIME BECAUSE I HAD TO KEEP PULLING OVER SO THE CAR COULD COOL OFF SOME!!!! SEVERAL MECHANICS HAVE TOLD ME THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. IT IS TOO EXPENSIVE TO FIX RIGHT NOW!!! I'M SO DISGUSTED WITH THIS CAR AND CANNOT WAIT TO GET RID OF IT!!!! IF A LOCATION TAKES OVER AN HOUR TO GET TO, I CAN'T DRIVE THIS CAR!!! MY CAR IS A PEARL WHITE COLOR. THE PAINT PEELING ON THE HOOD AND SIDES OF THE DOOR IS A WHOLE OTHER FRUSTRATING PROBLEM THAT GETS WORSE AND WORSE!!!

SHE PULLED INTO ANOTHER ADVANCED AUTO PARTS AND THEY RESET IT. SHE LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING OVER 50 MPH ON BACK ROADS AND THE INTERSTATE SEVERAL MORE TIMES. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. WE WERE TOLD SHE NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION AND IT ONLY HAS 82K MILES. SHE'S A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT AND DOESN'T HAVE $3,700 SO THE CAR JUST SITS WHILE SHE STILL MAKES PAYMENTS.
