AFTER TRANSMISSION HEATS UP WHILE DRIVING THEIR IS A LOUD WHINGING NOISE. AFTER COMING TO A STOP THE VEHICLE WILL STRUGGLE TO START MOVING AGAIN, POWER HESITATING AND THEN OVERREVVING. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE IS A 2011 WITH 100,000 MILES - IT SHOULD NOT NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND IS CURRENTLY OUT OF WARRANTY. THE COST OF REPLACEMENT IS $3,000. THE PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS 2003-2010 WARRANTY'S WERE INCREASED TO 10 YEARS 120,000 MILES DUE TO ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. IT APPEARS TO ME THAT THE ISSUE WAS NOT FIXED AND WARRANTY'S AGAIN SHOULD BE EXTENDED FOR OWNERS OF MODEL YEAR 2011 AND BEYOND. NISSAN SHOULD STAND BY THEIR VEHICLES AND REPAIR AND REPLACE WHEN ISSUES ARISE.

CAT TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS AND SUBSEQUENTLY WILL NOT ACCELERATE AFTER DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR OVER AN HOUR. VERY DANGEROUS. THE FIRST INCIDENT TOOK ME COMPLETELY BY SURPRISE ON A HIGHWAY IN DALLAS ENTERING DFW. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS THE DEFINITION OF A LEMON BUT ALSO VERY DANGEROUS WHEN NOT DISCLOSED.

TRANSMISSION SLIPS AFTER ABOUT 200 MILES ON LONG TRIPS. YOU HAVE TO STOP AND LET IT COOL DOWN BEFORE YOU CAN GO ON. SOMETIMES IT MAY TAKE 10-15 MINS. SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO WAIT OVER NIGHT BEFORE DRIVING IT.. WHEN IT HAPPENS THE TRANSMISSION WILL WIND AND YOU LOSE POWER WITH NO WARNING. I CAUGHT MYSELF IN THE MIDDLE OF JACKSONVILLE FL ON 95 WHEN IT HAPPENED I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT.

MY 7 YEAR OLD NISSAN ROUGE STARTED LOSING ACCELERATION WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS, TALK ABOUT SCARY AND DANGEROUS. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME MY TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IF I TRAVEL ON THE INTERSTATE AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 65-75 MPH FOR MORE THAN TWO HOURS THE TRANSMISSION SHUTS DOWN AND WILL NOT SHIFT AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, REGARDLESS OF STOPPING ON A HILL OR FLAT GROUND.

NHTSA ODI 11118408

AT ONLY SEVEN YEARS AND 84,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION IS BAD. THE NISSAN DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS REPLACING AND NOT TO DRIVE FAR. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH NISSAN ROGUE'S AND HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHER NISSAN OWNERS. AFTER RESEARCH I FOUND THAT ONE OWNER WAS ON THE THIRD TRANSMISSION, THE DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE AGAIN BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THERE IS NO RECALL THEREFORE LEAVING OWNERS WITH A HUGH EXPENSE AND AN UNSAFE, UNDRIVABLE VEHICLE. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED AS MANY TIMES AS NEEDED. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH NISSAN IS NOT FIXING THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND IS JUST REPLACING THE SAME DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION.

JUST BOUGHT THIS 2011 NISSAN ROUGE FROM A PRIVATE PARTY AND RIGHT AFTER PURCHASE TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALER WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION THAT PROMPTED ME TO DO SOME MORE RESEARCH THAT THERE ARE LOTS OF ROUGE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM (BAD TRANSMISSION) INCLUDING A CLOSE PERSON WHO HAS A 2016 ROUGE WHOSE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED ALREADY (2016 REALLY NISSAN!!!) NISSAN WILL NOT DO ANYTHING

WHILE DRIVING UP A STEEP HILL THE TRANSMISSION WENT INTO SAFE MODE TO PROTECT THE TRANSMISSION FROM OVERHEATING. WHEN THIS HAPPENED I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A TRUCK GOING MUCH FASTER. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT HAS NOT ADDRESS IT. A BETTER COOLER SHOULD CLEAR UP THIS PROBLEM

IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY THE ROGUE SUDDENLY LOST POWER. AFTER STOPPING IT SLOWLY GAINED MOMENTUM. HARDLY ANY PICK UP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, A GRINDING NOISE WAS HEARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. WHEN THE MECHANIC REMOVED THE AXLE TO ADD MORE TRANSMISSION FLUID, METAL SHAVINGS FROM THE TRANSMISSION WERE FOUND. THE DEALER (NOURSE NISSAN, 423 N BRIDGE ST, CHILLICOTHE, OH 45601, (866) 935-8801) WAS CONTACTED AND QUOTED A PRICE OF $3,000 TO REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

AT 135,000 MILES THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE TO 50 AND REFUSED TO ACCELERATE PAST 60 DURING A 2.5 HOUR DRIVE TO ATLANTA, GA FROM COLUMBIA, SC. WE REPLACED AN ENGINE SENSOR AND SPARK PLUGS HOPING TO REMEDY THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, THE CAR CONTINUED TO HAVE ISSUES WITH ACCELERATION AND THEN BEGAN SHAKING WHEN TGE HFS PEDAL WAS DEXPRESSED AT ALL. A FEW WEEKS LATER, THE CAR CUT OFF AS MY TEENAGE SON (DRIVING WITH ME AND YOUNGER SIBLINGS AS PASSENGERS) WAS ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN (FROM A STANDSTILL AFTER 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING) ON BACK HIGHWAYS DURING A NEARLY 2 HOUR DRIVE. WE PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND EVENTUALLY THE CAR BECAME DRIVEABLE, BUT ALLOWED ACCELERATION OF ONLY 35 MPH. IT TOOK US AN ADDED HOUR TO GET HOME. FOLLOWING THAT, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO REFUSE ACCELERATION BEYOND 60 AND BEGAN SHAKING BETWEEN 35 AND 40 MPH. A DIAGNOSTIC TEST SHOWED AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE SHAKING HAS BECAME MORE SEVERE AND NOW ATBV138,000 THE CAR WONT START AT ALL. FURTHER RESEARCH SHOWS THIS IS VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2011 ROGUE. THIS SAFETY ISSUE COULD HAVE RESULTED IN EXTREME BODILY HARM OR DEATH WHEN THE CAR INITIALLY SHUT DOWN.

LOSS OF ACCELERATION WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN OF THIS ISSUE NTB16-090. THIS CAR WITH NO WARNING DROPPED FROM 60 MPH ON A HIGHWAY TO A DRIFT, ENOUGH TO ME TO GET OFF OF THE ROAD BUT ONLY BECAUSE I WAS GOING DOWN A SLIGHT GRADE. LUCKY FOR ME THERE WAS NOT TRAFFIC OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED BECAUSE IT WAS A DRASTIC CHANGE IN SPEED IN SECONDS. WITH MY FOOT ON THE GAS IT JUST BECAME A WINDING SOUND. OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, CAR WOULD NOT GO IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. I TURNED IT OFF FOR AWHILE AND CALLED NISSAN DEALER AND WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR BUT ONLY TO MOVE IT FURTHER OFF THE ROAD BEFORE SAME ISSUE STARTED AGAIN. VEHICLE HAD 1 OWNER PRIOR TO ME AND HAD DOCUMENTED REGULAR MAINTENANCE/SERVICE THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP AT WHICH IT WAS PURCHASED.

TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS, SHAKES VIOLENTLY AT ABOUT 30 TO 40 MPH UPON ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION.

NHTSA ODI 11102878

ON JUNE 15, 2018, I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND MY NISSAN ROGUE 2011 WITH A CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT) STARTED TO LOSE POWER FOR NO APPARENT REASON, AND IT DECELERATED FROM 70 TO 40 MILES PER HOUR (MPH) IN A 70 MPH ZONE. THE ENGINE WAS MAKING A WHINING NOISE WHILE REVVING AT HIGH RPM'S. I TRIED TO ACCELERATE BACK UP TO THE SPEED LIMIT AND IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE MORE THAN 40 MPH AND THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV AT HIGH RPM'S. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE FREEWAY SHOULDER AND PUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH. I EXITED THE OFF RAMP AND STOPPED AT THE STOP SIGN. WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR WAS VERY SLUGGISH AND I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AGAIN BECAUSE IT WASN'T ACCELERATING AND WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 2 MPH. THE ONLY WAY I COULD DRIVE WAS TO DOWN SHIFT TO LOW AND DRIVE AT LOW SPEED ON SURFACE STREETS. CARS WERE HONKING THEIR HORNS BEHIND ME BECAUSE MY CAR WOULD TAKE 5 - 10 SECONDS TO MOVE FORWARD FROM A STOP SIGN. I HAD TO STAY IN LOW GEAR BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE IN REGULAR DRIVE GEAR. I STOPPED AT AN AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOP AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE LOCAL AAMCO TRANSMISSION SHOP REFUSED TO WORK ON NISSAN ROGUE TRANSMISSIONS. THE AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOP SAID THAT IT WOULD COST $4,500 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. I SHOULDN'T BE HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ON A 2011 VEHICLE. I HEARD THAT NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR NISSAN ROGUE TRANSMISSIONS BUILT BEFORE 2011. MY NISSAN ROGUE WAS BUILT IN 2011 SO THE WARRANTY EXTENSION DOESN'T APPLY TO MY VEHICLE.
