What 317 owners told NHTSA about the 2012 Nissan Rogue Select

WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEED, ENGINE RPM WOULD GO UP WITHOUT HITTING ACCELERATOR, THEN NO MATTER HOW MUCH I PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR I COULD NOT GET THE CAR UP TO SPEED TO PASS OTHER VEHICLES. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP FOR EVALUATION. EITHER NEED TO SPEND $3000 FOR A 'TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER' OR $4000 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION.

SALT LAKE CITY, UT OWNER. 2012 NISSAN ROGUE S AWD, WITH A CVT. 2015 OCT, I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USE WITH 96K MILES, STILL WITHIN THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY (DIFFERENT OWNER). 2 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE DURING AN ATTEMPT TO VACATION, WE ARRIVE IN ST. GEORGE WITH A SMOKING ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND LOSS OF FLUIDS, LOSS OF SPEED ON FREEWAY. THE TRANSMISSION BLEW DUE TO IT OVERHEATING. IT OVER HEATING DUE TO THE POORLY MANUFACTURED COOLING PORTION OF THE CVT. WHICH RESULTING IN THE TRANSMISSION BEING OVERHEATED AND "BLOWN". THE NISSAN DEALER IN ST. GEORGE CHARGED MY PURCHASED EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE REPLACEMENT. JUNE 6TH, 2017. (1.5 YEARS LATER, 7 MONTHS OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY AND 124,500 MILES) TRAVELING TO GRAND JUNCTION. VEHICLE STARTED MIMICKING SIMILAR ISSUES AS PRIOR, AGAIN WITH THE LOSS OF SPEED. HAD TO REPLACE THE COOLING PORTION OF THE UNIT. THEY UPGRADED IT TO THE "BETTER" VERSION (THE EXTERNAL COOLER) THAT WOULD PREVENT THE TRANSMISSION FROM OVER HEATING. JULY 7TH, 2018. 1 MONTH OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY FOR THE EXTERNAL COOLER AND 136,907 MILES. TRAVELING TO TWIN FALLS. SAME ISSUES START OCCURRING, AGAIN LOSS OF SPEED ON FREEWAY. TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 7/9 WHERE I WAS ADVISED THAT MY TRANSMISSION HAD WENT INTO FAIL SAFE MODE 111 TIMES. LEADING TO NEED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ONCE AGAIN DUE TO THE EXTERNAL COOLER NOT DOING ITS JOB ONCE AGAIN. LOSS OF SPEED ON A FREEWAY IS A SAFETY HAZARD. NISSAN HAS RECALLED OTHER MODELS CVT PROBLEMS, BUT NOT THE ROGUE. PLEASE HELP US OBTAIN THAT RECALL ON ALL ROGUE MODELS REGARDLESS OF MILES. I HAVE CONTACT NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS, I OPENED A CASE WHICH WENT TO REVIEW. SUBSEQUENTLY BEING DENIED FOR "GOODWILL ASSISTANCE" ON 7/10 AT 5:20 PM FOR ASSISTANCE ON ANOTHER $5,000 REPAIR DUE TO DEFECTIVE MANUFACTURING DUE TO THE VEHICLE BEING OUTSIDE OF THE 60,000 MILE MANUFACTURE WARRANTY.

WHILE DRIVING 80 MILES PER HOUR ON A WYOMING INTERSTATE, MY 2012 NISSAN ROGUE SHUT OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE EVEN WHILE PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR WOULD ONLY ACCELERATE TO 65 MPH AND WOULD NOT RESET TO NORMAL SPEEDS OR ACCELERATION PATTERNS UNTIL I PULLED OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND LET IT COOL DOWN FOR 15-30 MINUTES. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIPS IN FORT COLLINS, COLORADO AND BILLINGS, MONTANA SAID THIS ISSUE AROSE IN SEVERAL NISSAN ROGUES OF DIFFERENT YEARS. NISSAN FIXED 2010 AND EARLIER MODELS ON THEIR DIME, BUT HAVE NOT PAID FOR REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION COOLERS WITH LARGER COOLERS FOR THE 2011 OR LATER MODELS. THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION COOLERS IN 2012 NISSAN ROGUES UP TO THIS POINT.

I WAS TRAVELING 70 MPH ON A HIGHWAY, USING CRUISE, WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED RACING AND THE RPM SURGED. I DISENGAGED THE CRUISE AND THE RPM'S IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO NORMAL. HOWEVER, AS SOON AS I STEPPED ON THE GAS, THE RPM'S AGAIN SURGED. AFTER THIS HAPPENED THREE OR FOUR TIMES, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT EXCEED 60 MPH. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY WITHIN A SHORT DISTANCE. THERE WAS A TRAFFIC LIGHT AT THE END OF THE EXIT, WHICH WAS RED AND I STOPPED. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, MY CAR WOULD NOT INITIALLY ACCELERATE OR MOVE. AFTER A SHORT TIME, THE CAR DID THEN START ACCELERATING AND I WAS ABLE TO ONCE AGAIN DRIVE. I THEN STOPPED AT THE NEAREST PARKING LOT. MY TRAVELING COMPANION PROCEEDED TO FIND AN AUTO SHOP THAT WAS OPEN, AS IT WAS ABOUT 7:00 AT NIGHT. THEY RAN A SCAN AND DETERMINED THERE WAS A FAILURE WITH MY TRANSMISSION. I WAS OVER 50 MILES AWAY FROM HOME, ON MY WAY TO A VACATION RESERVATION. UNFORTUNATELY, I HAD TO RETURN HOME. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR ON BACK ROADS, TRAVELING ABOUT 35-40 MPH. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE HAD A TRANSMISSION SHOP AND THE NISSAN DEALER ALSO CONFIRM THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED REPLACED. THE CAR HAD A LITTLE OVER 70,000 MILES. I FIND THIS ENTIRELY UNACCEPTABLE FOR A 2012 WITH THAT NUMBER OF MILES. SUBSEQUENT RESEARCH HAS SHOW THAT NISSAN HAS A HISTORY OF PROBLEMS WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I ALSO FOUND MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS ON AN ARRAY OF WEBSITES ABOUT MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE HAVING TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT A VARIETY OF MILES. I ALSO FOUND REPORTS OF THE TRANSMISSION FAILING WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED. I DID CONTACT NISSAN'S REGIONAL CONSUMER AFFAIRS. AFTER JUMPING THROUGH THEIR HOOPS, I WAS DECLINED ANY "GOOD WILL ASSISTANCE". THIS WAS DUE TO THE CAR'S MILEAGE BEING OVER WARRANTY AND NO PREVIOUSLY DOCUMENTED ISSUES WITH MY PERSONAL VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION.

CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURE. AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE PARKWAY HIS CAR WILL JUST SLOW DOWN TO A CRAWL CAUSING A DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITION. THE CAR WILL BARELY MOVE AND MANY OTHER VEHICLES HAVE COME VERY CLOSE TO HITTING ME DUE TO THE SLOW SPEED THAT THE CAR WILL GO. COMPLAINED TO NISSAN BUT SINCE CAR IS 11 MONTHS PAST WARRANTY WAS TOLD THEY WILL NOT HELP EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 25 MPH. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE AND THE TRANSMISSION SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. SERRA NISSAN IN BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 113,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, TRAVELING THE SPEED LIMIT (65 MPH) WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN DECELERATING. THE VEHICLE'S SPEED DECREASED FROM 65 MPH TO 0 MPH IN LESS THAN TWO MINUTES. I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AND THE RPM INDICATOR ADVANCED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE SPEED DECREASED. WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR PREVIOUS PROBLEM, THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY DIED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE DURING RUSH HOUR. I WAS IN THE CENTER DRIVING LANE AND WAS TRAVELING WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE TRAFFIC ONTO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE, WHERE I WAS STRANDED FOR 2.5 HOURS. SINCE MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN DISABLED, I HAVE CONDUCTED RESEARCH ON OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS THAT HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES WITH NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSIONS. MOREOVER, NISSAN HAS HAD SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION FOR OVER A DECADE. DESPITE GOVERNMENTAL OVERSIGHT AND THE COMPANY HAVING TO CORRECT DEFECTS, NISSAN CONTINUES TO MANUFACTURE THESE DANGEROUS VEHICLES. LIFE AND SAFETY SHOULD BE A PRIORITY FOR INNOCENT BUYERS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC. MY LOCAL NISSAN LEADERSHIP HAS DIAGNOSED AND CONFIRMED MY VEHICLE'S PROBLEM AND CONCLUDED THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION MUST BE REPLACED. ASIDE FROM HAVING A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION, MY VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.

SPEED LIMIT WAS 80 MILES TRAVEL DOWN THE HIGH WAY AND THE CAR BEGIN TO SO DOWN TO 5 MILES. SO I DRIFTED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BECAUSE A TRACTOR TRAILER TRUCK WAS ABOUT 6 CAR LINKS BEHIND ME. IF THIS CAR WOULD HAVE COMPLETE STOP THE TRUCK WOULD HAVE HIT THE CAR. I WAS SCARED BECAUSE I NEVER HAD A VEHICLE THAT DONE THIS BEFORE. I SIT ALONG SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR ABOUT 20 MIN CALLED MY HUSBAND BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. AFTER 20 MINS I RESTARTED THE CAR PUT IT IN GEAR AND DRIVE AT 60 MILES UNTIL I GOT HOME WHICH WAS 94 MILES. BY THE TIME I GOT HOME THE CAR WAS MAKING THIS STRANGE NOISE. IT SOUND AS IF THE ENGINE WAS ABOUT TO FALL OUT OF THE CAR.

FAILING CVT (CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION) MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT AN APPROX. 65 MPH, HEADED BACK TO COLLEGE, WHEN HER 2012 ROGUE STOPPED ACCELERATING WHILE PUSHING ON THE GAS PEDDLE. THE CAR WOULD NOT REACT TO STEPPING ON THE GAS. IT WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, SO SHE PULLED TO SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN TRYING TO TAKE OFF AGAIN, IT JUST REVVED AS THOUGH IN NEUTRAL. SHE TURNED THE CAR OFF. AFTER TURNING THE CAR BACK ON, SHE WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE VERY SLOWLY. REVVING SOUND CONTINUED THROUGHOUT ACCELERATION. SHE WAS ABLE TO GET TO HER DESTINATION. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO LITHIA NISSAN IN EUGENE, OR ON APRIL 3, 2018. WE LIVE 108 MILES FROM THE DEALERSHIP. AS OF TODAY, APRIL 18, 2018, THE CAR IS STILL THERE! THE CVT PROBLEM WAS RECREATED AT NISSAN AND WE WERE TOLD A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS REQUIRED AT A COST OF $3000. THE WARRANTY ENDED AT 60K AND THE CAR HAS JUST UNDER 65K. I FILED A CASE WITH NISSAN USA. FOR SOME REASON THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT CAPTURE THE PROOF OF FAILURE INFORMATION. NISSAN USA THEN REQUIRED THE DEALERSHIP TO PROVIDE A "VIDEO" OF THE PROBLEM OCCURRING. BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO CAPTURE THE CVT ISSUE ON VIDEO, NISSAN USA CLOSED THE CASE. I ASKED THEM NOT TO CLOSE THE CASE UNTIL THERE WAS A RESOLUTION. THEY TOLD ME WITHOUT THE VIDEO FOR REVIEW, THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. THEY TOLD ME TO PAY THE $3000 FOR THE REPLACEMENT, OR CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN, AND GET IT INTO A DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY SO THEY DOCUMENT THE PROBLEM WHILE IT'S HAPPENING! I TOLD THEM IT'S UNACCEPTABLE TO REQUIRE MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER TO DRIVE A CAR WE KNOW IS GOING TO FAIL, BUT CAN'T DETERMINE WHEN OR WHERE. THAT'S PUTTING HER IN DANGER. RESEARCH SHOWS THE CVT FAILURE IS A COMMON PROBLEM. TRANSMISSIONS SHOULDN'T GO OUT AT 65K! THIS IS OUR FIRST NISSAN, AND WE WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER ONE. RECALL!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE WENT INTO NEUTRAL AND IT SEEMED LIKE THE ENGINE STOPPED WITHOUT WARNING. A FEW MOMENTS LATER, THE VEHICLE DROVE NORMALLY. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

AT 49,935 MILES, THE TRANSFER CASE AND DRIVE SHAFT (WHILE DRIVING) LEAKED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1,514 + CAR RENTAL FOR 2 DAYS. THE ENGINE AND POWER TRAIN ARE COVERED BY NISSAN'S WARRANTEE ONLY UNTIL 5 YEAR,50,000 MILES. AS I WOULD BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A NISSAN DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING PROBLEM, AND THAT OTHER 2012 NISSAN ROGUE ARE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS, I WOULD VERY MUCH APPRECIATE IF THE NHTSA WOULD INVESTIGATE THIS TO DETERMINE IF A RECALL IS WARRANTED. THANK YOU.

THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AFTER 154,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. CAR BUCKED A FEW TIMES, THEN STOPPED MOVING. THE FRONT AXLE IS BROKEN. NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS OPENED A CASE, HAD ME PAY TO TOW THE CAR TO THEIR DEALER, PAY FOR A DIAGNOSIS, CONFIRMED THE TRANSMISSION FAILED, THEN DENIED THE CLAIM BASED ON MILEAGE WHICH I PROVIDED TO THEM UP FRONT. THE $265 TOWING AND DIAGNOSIS FEE SHOULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED ENTIRELY.

AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN ABOUT AN HOUR OR MORE, USUALLY ON A WARM DAY, THE CAR HAS NO POWER WHEN GOING UP HILLS. IT WILL GO FROM 70 MPH TO ABOUT 50 MPH WITH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND WILL CONTINUE TO GO SLOWER UNTIL LEVEL GROUND IS DRIVEN ON. ALSO, WHEN LEAVING THE HIGHWAY AFTER THIS HAS OCCURRED, AFTER A COMPLETE STOP, THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE AT ALL WITH ACCELERATION. THE CAR JUST SITS THERE LIKE YOU HAVEN'T EVEN TOUCHED THE GAS. WHEN IT DOES MOVE AFTER A MINUTE OR TWO, IT GOES ABOUT 1 MILE AN HOUR AND IF YOU ARE PULLING INTO AN INTERSECTION WITH OTHER CARS COMING, THAT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIRS WAS MEMORIAL DAY 2017. THE MOST RECENT TIME I TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIRS WAS SEPTEMBER 8, 2017.

2012 NISSAN ROGUE LOST ACCELERATION WHILE ON A TRIP. ROGUE WOULD NOT GO MORE THEN 30-40 MPH IN A 80 MPH SPEED ZONE ON HIGHWAY. ALMOST GOT HIT A COUPLE TIMES TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC AND HAVING TO PULL OVER TO GIVE THE CAR A BREAK. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS WITH BEING 7 MONTHS PREGNANT, DRIVING IN A NO SERVICE AREA. COULDN'T CALL FOR HELP. IT WAS HOT OUT TO HAVE TO STOP WITH MY SELF AND THREE DOGS IN THE CAR.

AFTER ONLY 5 YEARS AND 100,000 MILES I WAS TOLD I HAD TO HAVE A NEW TRANSMISSION. I AM A VERY SAFE DRIVER; ONLY I HAVE DRIVEN CAR; MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES. ALL MAINTENANCE WAS MAINTAINED. WHINE DEVELOPED IN TRANSMISSION; FIRST TOLD NOTHING WRONG; A FEW WEEKS LATER TOLD THIS NEWS BY PAT PECK NISSAN, MOBILE, AL. HAPPENED WHEN ACCELERATING.

DRIVING FOR 20 MINUTES ON HIGHWAY, TRAVELLING AT 75 MPH. CHANGED LANES, SLOWED DOWN TO 65MPH. ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE, RPM STUCK AT 2400, VEHICLE WOULDN'T ACCELERATE PAST 70 AFTER TAKING 10 SECONDS TO RISE TO THAT FROM 65MPH. DIDN'T GO PAST 2700RPM. GOT OFF HIGHWAY, STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. LIGHT TURNED GREEN, CAR ROSE VERY SLOWLY TO 2000 RPM, ACCELERATED VERY SLOWLY TO 30MPH. THIS CONTINUED FOR 5 MINUTES, PULLED OVER AND PARKED FOR 1 HOUR. STARTED DRIVING AGAIN, 30 MINUTES LATER CAR STUCK AT 2400 RPM, COULDN'T ACCELERATE PAST PREVIOUS TRAVELLING SPEED. TOOK TO DEALER, NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES FOUND, OF COURSE, 140 DOLLARS LATER NO RESOLUTION. CAR HAS 70,935 MILES ON IT

THE VEHICLE HAS HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS PERTAINING RO THE TRANSMISSION. IT'S LOUD AND WHINING FOR THE LAST 40000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS NORMAL, THERE IS NO WAY. IT ALSO HAS A PROBLEM OF BINDING UP WHEN YOU TURN THE WHEELS AT SAME TIME OF ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE ALSO TRIES TO WALK OVER ITSELF. IT ALSO WILL HAVE DELAYS WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION. YOU BEGIN TO ACCELERATE BUT IT DOESNT GO THERES A DELAY AND THEN IT SHOOTS OUT LIKE A BULLET. I HAVE HAD MY DEALERSHIP CHECK IT OUT AND THEY SAY ITS FINE. OTHER YEARS AND MODELS THEY HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE OF COMPLAINTS BUT NOT MINE FOR WHATEVER REASON.

CVT ON THE NISSAN ROGUE HAS THE SAME ISSUE THAT THE 2003-2010 RECALLS HAVE. JUST GOT BACK FROM A VACATION THAT WAS DELAYED 2 HOURS DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND WE LOST ACCELERATION ON I75 IN FLORIDA. WE WERE ALMOST HIT BY TWO SEMI TRUCKS. THE RPMS JUST REG UP AND THE CAR LOSES POWER DECELERATION IS FAST AND DANGEROUS. THE ISSUE WITH THE CVT FROM NISSAN HAS BEEN FIXED AFTER 2010. I WANT TO GET THIS FIXED BY NISSAN ASAP AS OUR ROGUE HAS 97K MILES AND HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE 60K BUT THE 2012S AREN'T INCLUDED. MY LAWYER IS WORKING CLOSING ON THIS MATTER AS WELL. IT SEEMS LIKE NISSAN NEEDS PEOPLE TO ACTUALLY DIE BEFORE THEY TAKE ACTION.

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WILL START SHUDDERING AND RPM'S WILL INCREASE BY 2000-3000 RPMS EVEN IF THERE IS NO ASSISTANCE WITH ACCELERATION (FOOT IS OFF GAS PEDAL). WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE CAR WILL THEN NO LONGER ACCELERATE, AND WILL START SLOWING DOWN, REGARDLESS IF YOU AT PRESSING THE GAS OR NOT. YOU BASICALLY LOSE ALL CONTROL OVER THE OPERATING SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 10 TIMES WITHIN THE PAST 3 MONTHS, ALL WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT POSTED SPEEDS, APPROX. 65 MPH FOR ANYWHERE BETWEEN 5 MIN TO AN HOUR + OF CONSTANT RATE OF SPEED.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE IN TOWN, APPROX. 40MPH UP A SLIGHT INCLINE THE TRANSMISSION STOPPED ENGAGING AND RPM'S STARTED TO INCREASE WHILE SPEED DROPPED. VEHICLE HAS 110,000 MILES ON IT. I CAME DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO GETTING INTO SEVERAL ACCIDENTS TRYING TO SAFELY PULL OVER. THERE WAS A TRANSMISSION SHOP NEARBY AND I BARELY MADE IT THERE AND THEY LOOKED INTO THIS ISSUE. THEY SAID MY ONLY OPTION WOULD BE TO HAVE THE CVT REPLACED. THEY SAID I WOULD BE PUTTING MYSELF AND OTHERS AT RISK OF INJURY IF I CONTINUED TO TRY AND DRIVE IT IN THIS CONDITION. THE VEHICLE HAD NO PRIOR ISSUES/WARNING SIGNS PRIOR TO THIS FAILURE. I STRONGLY BELIEVE NISSAN SHOULD REPLACE MY CVT AT THEIR EXPENSE.

TRANSMISSION WILL STALL AND/OR LOSE ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. WILL NOT INCREASE SPEED, REGARDLESS OF IF THE PEDAL IS TO THE FLOOR OR NOT. IF YOU COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT MOVE OVER 5 MPH UNTIL YOU STOP, TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, SOMETIMES FOR UP TO 30 MIN, AND RESUME DRIVING. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITHIN 30 DAYS, ALWAYS WHILE GOING OVER 60 MPH, AND FREEWAY DRIVING FOR 10 MIN +.
