I PURCHASED MY CAR IN 2016 WHICH WAS PREVIOUSLY A LEASE. WHEN I GOT THE CAR I NOTICED A WHIRRING SOUND AS I APPLIED THE GAS AND A LOW PULL AS IT COASTED DOWNHILL. SEVERAL DIFFERENT PEOPLE I ASKED ABOUT THIS STATED IT WAS NORMAL. I'VE NEVER DRIVEN OR OWNED A NISSAN BEFORE AND I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS THE WAY THE CAR DRIVES. A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, AFTER DRIVING TO GET MY SON FROM COLLEGE, THE CAR BARELY WENT ABOVE 60 MPH AS I PRESSED THE GAS. I PULLED OVER, THOUGHT IT WAS TOO HOT OR MAYBE A BAD BATTERY (HAD IT TESTED, STILL GOOD) OR MAYBE THE FUEL INJECTOR. I STOPPED AND GOT SOME FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER AND LET MY CAR REST FOR A BIT BEFORE HEADING 2 HOURS BACK HOME. IT NEVER HAPPENED AGAIN UNTIL THIS PAST FRIDAY. HAD THE CODES READ WHEN IT BECAME SLUGGISH AND WAS GIVEN P1778 CODE. ULTIMATELY, MYSELF, MY DAUGHTER AND MY 2 FOSTER DAUGHTERS GOT STUCK IN TRAFFIC B/C MY CAR BARELY MOVED AT ALL DURING STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. I HAD IT TOWED AND WHEN THE MECHANIC CHECKED IT THAT MONDAY MORNING HE CONFIRMED THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS BAD AND TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER, THAT NISSAN HAS HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS W/ IT AND IT SHOULD BE UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, WHICH REPAIRS MAY OTHERWISE RUN B/W $3000.00-$4000.00. UPON MY RESEARCH, CONTACT W/ NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THE DEALER I'VE COME TO UNDERSTAND THAT MY YEAR (2013 NISSAN ROGUE) IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A BURDEN AND DANGER TO CONSUMERS THAT NISSAN HAS BEEN AWARE OF AT LEAST SINCE 2003 YET HAS NOT BEEN VIGILANT ENOUGH TO FIX. I ALSO SEE WHERE THERE HAVE BEEN AND CURRENTLY ARE CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS AGAINST NISSAN REGARDING THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS. I HAVE NO ALTERNATIVE MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. PLEASE HELP!!!
