BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN LATE AUGUST 2019 AND IN MID SEPTEMBER STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSION. TOOK TO A DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES BUT VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. ON 11/3/2019 VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, NOBODY WAS HURT AND WAITING FOR POLICE REPORT, BUT I THINK NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED

I'VE BEEN HAVE SHAKING AND DELAYS WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. IT HAS ALTOGETHER FAILED NOW AND I'VE ONLY OWNED THE VEHICLE SINCE THE END 2017. IT DIDN'T LAST TWO YEARS. THERE IS NO WAY I WILL REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS AGAIN. SHAME ON NISSAN FOR NOT VALUING THEIR CUSTOMERS ENOUGH TO FIX THE CVT PROBLEMS. IF YOU'VE SETTLED IN COURT, THERE SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL ON ALL CVT TRANSMISSIONS. I WISH I KNEW ABOUT THE CVT ISSUES, I WOULD HAVE STEERED CLEAR OF NISSAN VEHICLES. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET WHEN IT WENT OUT. COULDN'T ACCELERATE AT A STOP LIGHT.

MY DAUGHTER WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND WHEN SHE TRIED TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. SHE WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND AFTER A FEW MINS & A TRIP TO ADVANCE AUTO PARTS & THEN A MECHANIC SHE WAS TOLD TO BRING IT HOME. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SHE PULLED INTO ANOTHER ADVANCED AUTO PARTS AND THEY RESET IT. SHE LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING OVER 50 MPH ON BACK ROADS AND THE INTERSTATE SEVERAL MORE TIMES. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. WE WERE TOLD SHE NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION AND IT ONLY HAS 82K MILES. SHE'S A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT AND DOESN'T HAVE $3,700 SO THE CAR JUST SITS WHILE SHE STILL MAKES PAYMENTS.

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.

AFTER RESTING THERE FOR 20 MINUTES OR SO, THE TRANSMISSION WORKED PARTIALLY AND I LIMPED IT INTO RENO WITH THE FLASHERS ON. THE NISSAN MECHANIC IN RENO TOLD ME "THEY DO THAT WHEN THEY GET TOO HOT." THIS IS DANGEROUS.

TAKATA RECALL. THIS WOULD BE MY SECOND TIME CHANGING THIS TRANSMISSION. FIRST TIME WAS WHEN MY CAR DIDN'T WANNA ACCELERATE AND GOT STUCK ON 40 MPH INSTEAD OF 70 MILES PER HOUR. MY NISSAN AT THE TIME HAD ONLY 50,000 MILES. MY NISSAN RIGHT NOW HAS OVER 150,000 AND THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING AGAIN. DID A TRANSMISSION FLUSH AND NOTHING. I'VE ALSO NOTICE NOW WHEN THE WEATHER IS OVER 96 DEGREES THE TRANSMISSION ACTS UP BY STALLING ON 40 MPH WHILE DRIVING. EVEN MY AC COMPRESSION ALSO TAKES A HIGH EFFECT AS WELL. IF IT'S NOT ONE, IT'S THE OTHER.

WHILE TAKING EXTENDED DRIVES, THE RPM'S BEGIN TO INCREASE AND THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO LOOSE POWER SLOWING DOWN TO THE POINT WHERE IT COMPLETELY LOSES POWER. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST SIX TIMES ON THE ROAD, FIVE ON BUSY INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS. ALL INSTANCES THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING IN EXCESS OF 60MPH. NISSAN KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM WITH ITS CVT TRANSMISSIONS AND HAS ISSUED A TECHNICAL BULLETIN. NISSAN'S TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN NTB14-002D, WHICH DESCRIBES THE ISSUE AS THE CVT GOING INTO FAIL-SAFE AFTER CONTINUOUS OPERATION UNDER THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: 1) HIGH RPM AND/OR DRIVING SPEEDS OF 65 MPH FOR 1.0 - 1.5 HOURS OR MORE, 2) DRIVING IN AMBIENT TEMPERATURE OF 96 DEGREES OR HIGHER, 3) CLIMBING STEEP OR EXTENDED HILLS FOR 6 MILES OR MORE, AND 4) WHINE OR RATTLE NOISE OCCURRING DURING REDUCED ENGINE PERFORMANCE (VEHICLE SPEED DECREASE). IN THE CASE OF MY VEHICLE, THESE CONDITIONS WERE PRESENT IN MOST OF THE CASES (FOUR OF THE SIX TIMES), IN TWO INSTANCES AMBIENT TEMPERATURE WAS NOT A FACTOR (NOVEMBER AND FEBRUARY TRAVEL) AND IN ONE INSTANCE, CLIMBING STEEP OR EXTENDED HILLS WAS NOT A FACTOR. NOW THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE SLIPPING DURING SHORT, LOCAL, TRIPS. THIS BEGAN OCCURRING AT APPROX. 36,000 MILES AND THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 90,000 MILES (THIS REPORT TO NHITSA IS FOR THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT ON 5/20/19). I DON'T TAKE LONG TRIPS FREQUENTLY (10 IS PROBABLY THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF LONG TRIPS I HAVE MADE IN THIS CAR). NISSAN HAS IDENTIFIED A PROBLEM WITH 2008-2010 CVT TRANSMISSIONS AND HAVE EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE ROGUE TO 10 YRS./120,000 MILES; THE SAME SHOULD BE DONE WITH THIS MODEL AS WELL. IT IS UNSAFE AND UNACCEPTABLE. I'VE TALKED TO THREE NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AND ALL THREE HAVE WILDLY DIFFERENT ANSWERS (AND PRICES). I DON'T WHICH DEALER TO TRUST, AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S BETTER TO REPAIR IT OR TRADE IT. EITHER WAY, I CAN'T AFFORD IT.

AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, MY CAR LOST ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT SPEED UP, EVEN WHEN I PRESS THE GAS TO THE FLOOR. THE ENGINE JUST REVS UP. I WAS GOING UP A HILL IN A BUSY SECTION OF TOWN AND WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT AS THE PERSON BEHIND ME DID NOT REALIZE I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.
