2013 Nissan Rogue

WE WERE TRAVELING DOWN I 65 IN KENTUCKY AT INTERSTATE SPEED WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR JUST LOST POWER. THE CAR WOULD BARELY GO 40MPH. WE WERE ONLY A FEW MILES FROM HOME SO WE LIMPED THE CAR HOME. I JUST PURCHASED THE CAR ON THE 18TH 2 DAYS BEFORE. THE PROBLEM IS THE CVT TRANSMISSION BUT THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO ADMIT THAT IS WHAT'S WRONG. GILLIE HYDE IN GLASGOW KY. I'M A PARALYZED ARMY VET AND LIVE ON A FIXED INCOME AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPAIR THE CAR. NISSAN KNEW THE PROBLEMS WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS BUT CHOSE TO CONTINUE MANUFACTURING THE 2013 ROGUE KNOWING THE HAZARDOUS TRANSMISSION AND HOW IT COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS.

VEHICLE STARTS RUNNING HOT AFTER ON INTERSTATE FOR APPROX. 30 MIN, TEMP WILL RETURN TO NORMAL IF HEATER IS BEING RAN ON HIGH. DIAGNOSIS WAS THERMOSTAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. VEHICLE RUNS HOT AFTER THERMOSTAT WAS CHANGED. WHILE ON INTERSTATE FOR APPROX. AN HOUR VEHICLE STILL RUNNING WARM. TEMP RETURNS TO NORMAL WHILE HEATER IS ON HIGH. WHILE ON CRUISE CONTROL RPMS INCREASED SUDDENLY TO 4500 WITH A SPEED OF 70. SLOWED DOWN TO 60 AND RMPS CONTINUED TO CLIMB TO 4500 UNTIL I PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SOLENOID FAILING. TEMP FIX, SPRAYED CONNECTION CLEANER ON TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SOLENOID, RPMS ARE STILL SLIGHTLY ELEVATED FROM NORMAL, BUT MANAGEABLE FOR NOW.

A MONTH AGO I WAS HAVING ACCELERATION ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE. I WAS AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND COULD NOT MAKE THE LEFT TURN BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL MY VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND HAD IT TOWED. I BROUGHT IT TO NISSAN AND PAID ALMOST $5K FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. (2ND TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT IN THE LAST 3 YEARS). A MONTH LATER HAVING SAME ACCELERATION ISSUE, NISSAN A WEEK LATER SAID I NEEDED A FUEL PUMP. DROVE HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP AFTER PAYING ANOTHER $915 AND MY VEHICLE IS GIVING OFF A BURNING SMELL, MAKING HORRIBLE NOISE WHICH WASN'T PRESENT PREVIOUSLY AND STRUGGLING TO DRIVE.

2013 NISSAN ROGUE, 100,000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE SOUTH DOWN THE INTERSTATE FROM CHARLESTON TO ORLANDO, ~70 MPH, DRIVING NORMALLY IN JUNE 2019. AROUND THE GA/FL BORDER, WHEN I WOULD HIT THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE, THE SPEDOMETER WOULDN'T GO HIGHER. THE ENGINE WOULD REV, AND THE RPMS WOULD INCREASE TO 3-4,000. HAPPENED FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES UNTIL I GOT TO AN OFF-RAMP. AFTER THE CAR COOLED DOWN FOR 45 MINUTES, WE GOT BACK ON THE ROAD SINCE IT WAS A SUNDAY NIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE GA, KINGSTON TO BE EXACT. IT DROVE WELL FOR THE REST OF THE DRIVE DOWN TO ORLANDO WITH STOPS EVERY HOUR. SAME THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY UP FROM ORLANDO TO CHARLOTTE, RPMS WENT UP, SPEDOMETER DIDN'T MOVE. LET THE CAR COOL AND THEN IT DROVE FINE AT LOWER SPEEDS. TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHEN I GOT BACK AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE TRANSMISSION AS HAVING A FAULTY TORQUE CONVERTER, P0744 WAS THE CODE THAT CAME BACK. 12 HOURS OF LABOR, SAYING THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. FOUND THE SERVICE BULLETIN: NTB16-090, AND IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S SPOT ON, HAPPENED AFTER PROLONGED DRIVING IN HIGH TEMPERATURES. AFTER READING THE BULLETIN, IT CONNECTS THE DOTS FOR WHY MY ENGINE WOULD SOUND WEIRD WHEN I WAS DRIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS, THE ENGINE WOULD START TO SOUND REALLY TRYING AFTER SOME TIME. SAW THAT A NUMBER OF NISSAN VEHICLES HAVE BEEN RECALLED DUE TO FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSIONS, AND I DON'T KNOW WHY NISSAN 2013 ROGUES HAVE NOT BEEN RECALLED YET.
