What 362 owners told NHTSA about the 2011 Nissan Rogue Select

THE VEHICLE CANT HANDLE HILLS NOR WARMER DAYS. ANY AMBIENT TEMPERATURE PUSHING OVER 80 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT AND IT'S ALMOST A GIVEN THAT THE VEHICLE WILL LOSE POWER AND GO INTO A LIMP MODE; THIS BASICALLY MEANS THAT ITS CVT TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS AND NO MATTER HOW FAR DOWN YOU PUSH THE GAS PEDAL, ALL YOU GET IS A MAXIMUM OF 3000 RPMS BUT NO ACTUAL ACCELERATION. EVERY TIME IT'S DRIVEN DURING SUMMER HAS BEEN A GAMBLE ON NOT IF, BUT WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. HILLS OF ANY UPHILL INCLINE OR GRADE EXACERBATE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS ALL DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION NOT BEING ABLE TO BE COOLED ENOUGH WITH THE BASE MODEL OF THE VEHICLE. WHAT'S WORSE IS THAT THE PROBLEM CAN'T BE FIXED UNTIL YOU MANAGE TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, OUT OF TRAFFIC. THIS BECOMES AN ISSUE INSIDE OF CITIES WHERE YOU LOSE POWER SUDDENLY AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND CAN'T ACCELERATE, ESPECIALLY WHEN EXITING OR ENTERING A HIGHWAY. NISSAN KNOWS IT'S AN ISSUE AS THEY ADDRESSED IT WITH THE 2003-2010 MODELS YET HAVE CONTINUED THE SAME PRACTICE ON EVERY LATER MODEL WITHOUT ANY FIXES NOR ANY EXTENDED WARRANTIES AS THEY DID FOR THE PREVIOUSLY STATED MODELS. IN MANY CASES THEY SUGGEST AN EXTERNAL COOLING UNIT THAT HAS TO BE PAID FOR OUT OF THE CONSUMER'S POCKET. A SIMPLE SEARCH FOR CVT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS GIVES PAGE AFTER PAGE OF 95% NISSAN SIMILAR ISSUES AND ONE OR TWO FOR SOME OTHER CAR COMPANY THAT IS A SMALL ISSUE. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM AND WHAT'S WORSE IS IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT NISSAN IS BARELY OWNING UP TO. THEY ARE SELLING A SHODDY PRODUCT WITH FAULTY DESIGN AND KNOW ABOUT IT.

THE CVT TRANSMISSION ON THE VEHICLE FAILED AT JUST UNDER 115K MILES. I FOLLOWED THE MAINTENANCE PLAN PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER AND HAD THE TRANSMISSION INSPECTED AT A DEALER AS PART OF THAT MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE. THE TRANSMISSION FAILED IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON A BUSY CITY STREET, AND THERE WERE NO CHECK ENGINE OR OTHER WARNING LIGHTS IN ADVANCE OF THE CAR SUDDENLY STRUGGLING TO ACCELERATE AND JERKING TO A STOP WHEN TRYING TO BRAKE. THIS HAPPENED IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WITH A CHILD IN THE CAR, WHICH WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. EVEN AFTER I WAS ABLE TO COAX THE CAR OFF THE ROAD AND INTO A PARKING LOT, JERKING AND PRACTICALLY STALLING ALONG THE WAY, THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR OTHER INDICATORS THAT SUBSEQUENTLY CAME ON TO INDICATE THERE WAS ANY POTENTIAL TROUBLE WITH THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER SERVICE ADVISOR COULD ONLY SAY THE TRANSMISSION SUFFERED AN INTERNAL FAILURE AND COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY IT HAPPENED, WHAT CAUSED IT OR HOW THE TRANSMISSION PASSED PRIOR INSPECTION FEWER THAN 30K MILES PRIOR TO SUDDEN FAILURE. IT IS FORTUNATE WE WERE NOT REAR-ENDED WHEN THE ACCELERATION FAILED AND THAT I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF OF THE ROAD SO THAT ME AND MY CHILD WERE NOT IN FURTHER DANGER ON THE ROAD. THIS TRANSMISSION IS HAZARDOUS TO HAVE IN VEHICLES AS IT CAN BRING ONE TO A STOP ALMOST IMMEDIATELY WITH NO WARNING AT ALL, AND THE MANUFACTURER CAN'T EVEN EXPLAIN WHY OR WHAT HAPPENED. THEY ALSO WILL ONLY REPLACE THE FAILED CVT WITH ANOTHER CVT, WHICH I BELIEVE IS UNSAFE SO I WON'T BE HAVING IT REPAIRED. THE NISSAN CVTS SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD. THEY ARE AS DANGEROUS TO OTHERS IN TRAFFIC WITH ONE OF THEIR VEHICLES WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILS AS THEY ARE TO THE OWNER/OCCUPANTS OF THAT NISSAN VEHICLE.

THE CVT TRANSMISSION HAS GONE INTO FAIL/SAFE MODE 4 DIFFERENT TIMES WHICH RESTRICTS THE VEHICLES ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND LIMITS THE SPEED. 1ST PROBLEM OCCURRED IN OCT 2015 WITH 33,100 MILES. WHEN DRIVEN ON THE INTERSTATE,1 1/2 INTO DRIVE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND I COULD NOT KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC. I CONTACTED 2 DEALERSHIPS LOKEY & COURTESY THAT HAD NO EXPLANATION, BECAUSE NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON THAT MEANT THERE WAS NOT A PROBLEM. THE 2ND PROBLEM I4 AGAIN. VERY FRIGHTENING AGAIN, ASKED NISSAN DEALER. AGAIN, NO WARNING LIGHT NO ISSUE. APRIL 2018. I WAS ON I75 S WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO LOSE SPEED. I KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND PULLED OVER. A WARNING LIGHT DID ELIMINATE. I WAS NOT ABLE TO SUSTAIN 45 MPH AND STOPPED. I LOOKED AT THE MANUAL, IT LOOKED LIKE A MISFIRE OR EMISSION ISSUE. NO BIG DEAL, OKAY TO KEEP DRIVING PER MANUAL. IF CONTINUE, SEE DEALER. I DID NOT KNOW NISSAN KNEW ABOUT THIS ISSUE SINCE 2008. I DROVE MY CAR HOME BACK TO TAMPA AT 9 PM. HAD I BEEN NOTIFIED THAT THIS ISSUE WAS NOT NORMAL I WOULD HAVE HAD IT TOWED HOME. 10;30PM I WAS ON I75 N NOT ABLE TO MAINTAIN 45 MPH. I WAS IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I WAS GOING 45 IN A 70!! I HAD 1 IDIOT TAIL ME FOR 1.7 MILES. I WAS PUT IN THAT SITUATION BY NISSAN. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE THE SALESMAN FOOLED ME INTO THINKING I WAS BUYING A SAFE CAR. IT IS THE OPPOSITE. WHY IS THIS ACCEPTABLE. NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR 2008-2010 BUT NOT 2011??? 2011 CLEARLY HAS THE SAME ISSUE. MY CAR SHOWED ISSUES AT 33,100 UNDER WARRANTTY BUT THE DEALER PURPOSEFULLY DID NOT DISCLOSE THE DANGER. I JUST PAID $4589.00 TO HAVE MY TRANSMISSION REBUILT. ONLY TO HAVE IT BREAK DOWN WITHIN AN HOUR OF PICKING IT UP. DEFECTIVE BEARING. MY CAR HAS BEEN OUT OF USE FOR 1 WEEK AND COUNTING. NISSAN FAILS TO HELP ME NOR TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DANGEROUS AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY SITUATION. NISSAN RIPPING US OFF. STOP NOW!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WENT INTO NEUTRAL. THE CONTACT PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND SHIFT INTO THE DRIVE, THE VEHICLE WOULD FAILED TO SHIFT GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (CROWLEY NISSAN, 1451 FARMINGTON AVE, BRISTOL, CT 06010) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WERE ISSUES WITH PREVIOUS VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL BUT DUE TO THE YEAR OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE, IT DID NOT QUALIFY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000.

PURCHASED A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED 2011 NISSAN ROGUE IN 2013. EVER SINCE I OWNED THE VEHICLE IT WOULD INTERMITTENTLY POP OUT OF GEAR AND WOULD THEN REENGAGE INTO GEAR AND ACCELERATE ON THE HIGHWAY AND CITY ROADWAYS. WHEN I WOULD ACCELERATE FROM 20MPH TO HIGHER SPEEDS THE CAR WOULD JUMP AS IF THE BRAKES WERE STUCK. APPARENTLY THE CVT TRANSMISSION WAS DEFECTIVE AND NISSAN IS NOW INDICATING TO ME THAT ALTHOUGH THE LATER MODEL YEAR CARS WERE GIVEN AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSION MY CAR IS NOT COVERED. I HAVE SPOKEN TO THEM TO FILE COMPLAINTS, BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. THERE ARE AN OUTSTANDING NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THEIR CVT TRANSMISSIONS, BUT THEY DO NOT WANT TO COVER THE 2011'S. NOW I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $4,000.00. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO CAR WITH APPROXIMATELY 100,000 MILES THAT HAS BEEN SERVICED AND CARE FOR REGULARLY. THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED ACCELERATING ON ME ON A ONE LANE ROAD WITH A SPEED LIMIT OF 45 MPH THAT HAS A LOT OF TRAFFIC. I HAD TO COAST TO A STOP ON A HALF SHOULDER AND WAIT THERE UNTIL HELP COULD ARRIVE.

SEPT 2017 I PAID SANDY SANSING NISSAN 853.00 TO REPLACE MY DEFECTIVE CVT JATCO TRANSMISSION THAT FAILED. NOW JANUARY 28, 2018 WITH LESS THAN 6000 MILES ON NEW TRANSMISSION I WAS DRIVING INTERSTATE 70 MPH POSTED SPEED IN HEAVY RAIN WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO GO UP IN RPMS REVVING BEFORE IT QUICKLY BEGAN TO LOSE SPEED. SAME THING AS BEFORE. THE ROADS WERE SLICK DUE TO 24 HOURS OF RAINFALL PLACING MYSELF IN A DEADLY SITUATION. I'M NOT WILLING TO RISK MY LIFE OR THE LIFE OF MY CHILDREN AND HUSBAND FOR A KNOWN DEFECT NISSAN HAS BEEN AWARE OF, AND SUED FOR NUMEROUS MODELS ALREADY AND YET STILL INSTALLING DEFECTIVE CVT TRANSMISSIONS WITH ONLY A 12,000 MILE OR 12 MONTH WARRANTY ON THEIR REPLACEMENT MODELS WHICH STATES THEY KNOW THEY ARE TRASH AND STILL DECEIVE THEIR CUSTOMERS. NISSAN OWNERS SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE DEATH TRAPS THEY ARE DRIVING AND NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS THEY CONTINUE TO SELL TO CONSUMERS WITHOUT DISCLOSING THE POTENTIAL LOSS OF LIFE THAT COULD OCCUR.

NHTSA ODI 11065612

INTERMITTENTLY JUST SEEMS AS IF IT SHIFTS OUT OF GEAR RESULTING IN CAR HAVING NO POWER. MOST OFTEN DID THIS WHEN I WAS ON HIGHWAY, RESULTING IN ME BEING IN HIGH SPEED HIGHWAY WITH NO POWER. APPARENTLY THE CVT TRANSMISSION IS DEFECTIVE AND LOOKING BACK, ALWAYS WAS FOR PAST SEVERAL YEARS, WITH SEVERAL NISSAN MECHANICS PREVIOUSLY TESTING IT AND INDICATING THERE WAS NO PROBLEM.

NHTSA ODI 11060897

THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE MORE THAN 50 MILES AT A TIME . IF I AM DRIVING FOR A LONG TIME AND SLOW DOWN MY CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE ANYMORE. I HA E TO SHUT MY CAR OFF FOR AT LEAST 5 MIN. BEFORE I CAN START DRIVING AGAIN. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE POWER TRAIN. IT STRUGGLES TO KEEP UP AND ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE THE CAR IS GOING TO DIE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO NISSAN DEALERSHIPS 3 TIMES BEFORE MY EXTENDED WARRENTLY WAS UP AND PAID $100 EVERY TIME THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG AFTER THE HOOK IT UP TO THE COMPUTER.

2011 NISSAN ROGUE, DRIVING ON THE ROAD, LOOSING POWER AND NO RESPOND BY PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, AND ON RESPOND FROM THE CAR. 50000 MILES. NISSAN TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO DEALERSHIP AND HAVE IT CHECKED. DEALER SAID IT IS TRANSMISSION COOLER AND CLOSE TO $2000 TO FIX IT. NISSAN NOW IS REFUSING TO PAY FOR IT. THESE CVT TRANSMISSIONS ARE PIECE OF JUNKS, AND THEY KNOW IT TOO, BUT THEY KEEP PUTTING THIS JUNK DEFECT CVT DESIGN ON THEIR VEHICLES.. THEY HAVE EXTENDED THEIR WARRANTY ON 2008 , 2009, AND 2010 TO 120000 MILES OR 10 YEARS, SO THAT MEANS THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT WHY NOT ON 2011. WHAT A DIFFERENCE ?. 2011 HAS THE SAME TRANSMISSION AS 2008, 2009, AND 2010. GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO MAKE THEM TO FIX EVERY BAD CVT TRANSMISSION, AND NISSAN NEEDS TO STOP BUILDING THIS OF CRAP . OTHER AUTO DEALERSHIPS ARE LAUGHING AT NISSAN WITH THEIR CVT TRANSMISSION DESIGN. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS IT TAKES FOR NISSAN TO GET AFTER IT. THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS TERRIBLE AND NOT HELPFUL AT ALL.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THIS NISSAN ROGUE 2011 AND IT STOPPED MOVING. I HAD IT TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALER ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHOT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IT ONLY HAD 55,296 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. THIS OCCURRED ON 11/21/2017. FORTUNATELY THIS DID NOT OCCUR ON A HIGHWAY, BUT RATHER ON A LOCAL STREET. I KNOW THAT NISSAN DOUBLED THE WARRANRIES ON THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS ON THE 2008 TO 2010 ROGUES, BUT NOT ON ANYTHING AFTER THAT. WHAT A BUMMER!! EVIDENTLY THEY DID NOT FIX THEIR PROBLEMS..

NHTSA ODI 11051360

POWER TRAIN FAILURE!! DEATH RISK!! WHILE ON A ROAD TRIP, MY CAR COMPLETELY LOST POWER. MY FAMILY AND I WERE IN COMPLETE DANGER. AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 50 MILES, I LOST ALL SPEED AT THE EL CAJON PASS (15 FWY NORTH, HEADING TOWARDS VICTORVILE, CA). I WAS DRIVING AT AN UPHILL INCLINE WHEN I NOTICED MY SPEED WAS DECREASING AND I BEGAIN TO MAKE MY WAY TO THE RIGHT. THE FAR RIGHT LANE, THE "SLOW LANE" IS USED BY SEMI- TRUCKS AND EVEN THOUGH THEY TRAVEL AT AT SLOW SPEEDS THEY WERE TRAVELING AT A MUCH HIGHER SPEED. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO CROSS THROUGH IT AND IT WAS A MIRACLE THAT WE WERE ABLE TO GET INTO THAT LANE AND EXIT THE HIGHWAY UNHARMED. I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO DIE SMASHED BY AN 18 WHEELER. THERE ARE ALMOST 200 COMPLAINTS FOR THIS YEAR, MAKE, MODEL STATING THE SAME ISSUE JUST ON THIS SITE, AND THERE IS MANY MORE ON OTHER SITES. PLEASE LOOK INTO IT BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE. IVE CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY RESPONSIBILITY. NISSAN HAD TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE ON CVT TRANSMISSIONS ON PREVIOUS MODELS UP TO YEAR 2010 BUT WONT ADMIT TO 2011 VEHICLES HAVING THE SAME MALFUNCTIONING TRANSMISSION. THESE VEHICLES ARE UNSAFE AND CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE PREVENTABLE DEATHS. NO ONE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO SELL DEFECTIVE VEHICLES. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS SAFETY HAZARD. LETS PROTECT OUR FAMILIES.

I WAS TRAVELING TO SACRAMENTO FROM LOS ANGELES IN OCT. 2016. AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 4 HOURS MY CAR STARTED TO LOSE SPEED. I PUSHED THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE ANY FASTER. I PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY AND WAITED FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND THEN GOT BACK ON THE ROAD AND THEN WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND NEVER WENT OFF. ON THE WAY HOME I WAS HEADED UP THE GRAPEVINE (I-5 SOUTH) AND I LOST SPEED AGAIN AND PULLED OVER TO THE TRUCK LANE GOING UPHILL AND MY SPEED DROPPED AS LOW AS 20 MPH AND THAT WAS WITH ME PUSHING THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I HAD SEVERAL SEMI-TRUCKS BEHIND ME AND COULD NOT CHANGE LANES WITHOUT POSSIBLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I WAS VERY SCARED AND ONCE I MADE IT UP THE HILL I WAS ABLE TO GAIN A LITTLE SPEED GOING DOWNHILL AND CONTINUED HOME. II TOOK MY CAR TO A MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THAT IT WAS AN ISSUE W/MY TRANSMISSION. I CALLED NISSAN AND SINCE I WAS BARELY OVER MY WARRANTY I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR MY TRANSMISSION MYSELF AND I WAS VERY UPSET AS MY CAR HAD JUST OVER 60,000. I STARTED RESEARCHING MY ISSUE AND DISCOVERED THIS WAS A COMMON, KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NISSAN AND ROGUE'S IN PARTICULAR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I HOPE THEY DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE. HAVING YOUR SPEED DROP SO DRAMATICALLY ON A BUSY INTERSTATE W/SEVERAL SEMI-TRUCKS IS VERY FRIGHTENING. SINCE THEN I HAVE NOT DRIVEN MY CAR ON TRIPS OVER 2 HOURS AWAY BECAUSE I DON'T FEEL SAFE. I HAD THIS SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM MONTHS BEFORE ON A TRIP TO LAS VEGAS BUT JUST LET IT GO BECAUSE NO WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE. I WAS COMPLETELY SHOCKED TO SEE THAT NISSAN KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM W/THE TRANSMISSION AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX IT. I NOW HAVE A RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM MY CAR AND I'M AFRAID TO SEE WHAT THAT IS GOING TO COST ME. I ONLY DRIVE TO/FROM WORK AND WORK LESS THAN 5 MILES FROM MY HOME. UGH!!

I WAS ON THE THRUWAY/HIGHWAY AND MY RPMS GOT HIGHER AND HIGHER, EVEN THOUGH MY CRUISE CONTROL WAS ON. ENGINE WAS REVVING UP, AND SUDDENLY LOST POWER TO THE CAR, EVEN THOUGH THE GAS PEDAL WAS TO THE GROUND. THANKFULLY, TRAFFIC WAS SLOW AND I WAS LUCKY. I PULLED OVER AND CALLED GEICO FOR A TOW TRUCK.

WITH LOW MILES ON MY CAR I HAD A COMPLETE CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURE WITHOUT WARNING. IT STARTED WITH ONE BUMP BACKING UP. I PULLED OUT AND HAD POWER LOSS FOR A SHORT WHILE. WHEN I TRIED TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC AGAIN, I ALMOST GOT HIT AND THE CAR BUCKED AS I CROSSED THE ROAD AND TRIED TO MAKE IT TO A NEARBY PARKING LOT. I COULD ONLY GO ABOUT 10 MPH AND IT FELT LIKE THE FRONT END WAS GOING TO DROP AS IT BUCKED DOWN THE ROAD. WHEN I MADE IT TO THE PARKING LOT, IT WOULDN'T MOVE AT ALL AND IT HAD TO BE PULLED ONTO A FLAT BED. THE TRANSMISSION SHOP, RECOMMENDED A NEW TRANSMISSION BECAUSE IT WOULD BE CHEAPER THAN TRYING TO REBUILD THE CVT TRANSMISSION. AS THEY TRIED TO FIND A TRANSMISSION FOR MY VEHICLE, THEY SAID THEY FOUND MANY THAT WERE PULLED DUE TO DAMAGE WHICH TOLD THEM THE NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION WAS JUNK. THEY RECOMMENDED THAT I USE IT TIL THE NEW WARRANTY EXPIRED AND THEN MAYBE SELL THE VEHICLE. I WAS THE ONLY DRIVER OF THE CAR AND BABIED IT AND CHANGED THE FLUIDS AND ENDED UP TRADING THE CAR ON ANOTHER AS I COULD NOT TRUST THE ROGUE TO BE SAFE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AS IT FAILED US AND ALMOST GOT US HIT. THE CAR IS SOLD, BUT I WANT IT ON RECORD HOW DANGEROUS THE SITUATION WAS WHEN THE CVT TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WITHOUT ANY WARNING BEFOREHAND.
