Steering, gear box, shaft pitmanOct 19, 2009
NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2008-2009 ROGUE VEHICLES. A SCREW IN THE STEERING GEAR HOUSING COVER MAY LOOSEN OVER TIME AND COULD FALL OUT. AS IT LOOSENS, THE STEERING RESPONSE OF THE VEHICLE MAY BE COMPROMISED BUT THE DRIVER WILL RETAIN STEERING CONTROL.
THE SCREW MAY EVENTUALLY COME OUT OF THE STEERING GEAR COVER. IF LARGE STEERING INPUTS ARE MADE WITH THE COVER SCREW MISSING THE PINION SHAFT MAY COME OUT OF THE STEERING GEAR RESULTING IN A COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT WHETHER THE STEERING GEAR COVER SCREW IS LOOSE AND WILL BE RETIGHTENED TO THE PROPER SPECIFICATION. DEALERS WILL ALSO INSTALL A COVER PLATE TO PREVENT THE SCREW FROM POSSIBLY COMING OUT OF THE STEERING GEAR. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING NOVEMBER 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

Tires, pressure monitoring and regulating systemsOct 5, 2009
NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2008-2010 VEHICLES ORIGINALLY SOLD IN OR CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN THE STATES OF CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, IOWA, ILLINOIS, INDIANA, MASSACHUSETTS, MAINE, MARYLAND, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, MISSOURI, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, RHODE ISLAND, VERMONT, WASHINGTON D.C., WEST VIRGINIA AND WISCONSIN. THE MATERIAL IN THE NUT USED TO SECURE THE SENSOR-TRANSMITTER OF THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) MAY CORRODE AND POTENTIALLY CRACK IN AREAS WITH HEAVY CONCENTRATIONS OF ROAD SALT. IF THIS OCCURS, THE NUT MAY COME OUT OF THE SENSOR-TRANSMITTER AND THE TPMS LAMP WILL ILLUMINATE.
IF THE TPMS LAMP IS DISREGARDED AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO BE DRIVEN IN THIS CONDITION, THE TIRE WILL QUICKLY LOSE AIR PRESSURE AT A CONSISTENT RATE RESULTING IN A FLAT TIRE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE TPMS NUT WITH A NEW, MORE ROBUST NUT. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR BEFORE NOVEMBER 9, 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261 AND INFINITI AT 1-800-662-6200.

I GOT THIS CAR FROM MY DAUGHTER IN MAY. THIS PROBLEM STARTED IN JUNE, STOPPED FOR A WHILE & NOW IN WINTER (JANUARY) IT CAME BACK & IS GETTING WORSE TO THE POINT I WON'T DRIVE ON FREEWAY ANYMORE. DECELERATES AT FREEWAY SPEEDS COMBINED WITH JERKING MOTION. ALSO DOES NOT ALWAYS ACCELERATE (DOGS OUT) WHILE PRESSING ON GAS FROM COMPLETE STOP OR TRYING TO ACCELERATE IN SLOW TRAFFIC CAUSING CARS BEHIND TO SLAM ON BRAKES.

CAR WAS MAKING NOISE, HAD NISSAN DIAGNOSE IT AND WAS FOUND TO BE TRANMISSION
Power train, Sep 7, 2017
ROAR AND GRINDING NOISE UNDER CAR BELIEVE TO BE TRANSMISSION / TRANSFER CASE OR BOTH. DRIVE GOOD SHIFTS GOOD RUNS GOOD. BELIEVE IF SOMETHING LOCKS UP IN THIS , IT COULD CAUSE A ACCIDENT BY COMING APART. CHECKING IT OUT FOUND LOTS OF OTHER WITH SAME PROBLEM. IF THEY KNOW OF THE DESIGN PROBLEM LOOK LIKE THEY COULD CORRECT OR REPLACE BAD PARTS. LOOK LIKE NISSAN DID NOT CARE ABOUT IT OR IF IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDEND AND PUT OUT A BAD DESIGN ANYWAY. WITH ALL THE COMPLAINS ON THE WEB, LOOKS LIKE NISSAN JUST PUSHING IT TO THE BACK AND WAITING ON TIME TO GO BY. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND HALF. JUST THINK IT WRONG!

THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 2008 NISSAN ROGUE IS FAILING DUE TO OVERHEATING.THE OVERHEATING CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL AND THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT EVEN IF I REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION, AT $4000, THE NEW ONE WILL LIKELY FAIL AS WELL. I'M TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS OVERHEATING BECAUSE THE COOLING FAN IS NOT POWERFUL ENOUGH. I'M ALSO BEING TOLD THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSAN BUT THEY WILL NOT PROVIDE A CHEAPER FIX IN ORDER TO PROFIT FROM NISSAN OWNERS GETTING STUCK WITH A BILL FOR $4000 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. $4000 IS QUOTE FROM AAMCO TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT FOR 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE ECONOMIC SOLUTION.

YEARS BACK IWE HAVE DRIOVE OUR NISSAN 2008 TO A TRIP TO READING CA WE JUST HAVE BOUGHT THE CAR FROM A DEALER IN HAYWARD HANDA. WHILE WE WERE IN THE HILL CAR COULD CHANGE GEAR OR POWER WE WERE DRIVING 65 TO 70 MPR AND WENT DOWN TO 20 ON THE FREEWAY. VERY DANGEROUS SPECIALLY POOLING OVER AND HAVE THE CAR RELAX THIS WAS WHEN THE CAR HAD ONLY 70,000 MILES . WE LATER RECEIVED A LETTER FROM NISSAN THAT NEED TO RECALL AND UPDATE COMPUTER .WE TOOK IT IN AND MY HUSBAND COMPLAINED TO THEM THAT IT WAS MAKING A NOISE WHEN WE ACCELERATED AND HE ALSO MENTION THE FIRST TRIP AND SAID TO US EVERYTHING WAS OKAY . WE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM AFTER THAT MY HUSBAND ONLY DRIVE IT TO WORK AND HOME. WE RECENTLY TOOK CAR TO OREGON SAME ROUTE READING AND AS JEW ARE HITTING THE HILL SAME PROBLEM HAPPEN. I INVESTIGATED IT THIS HAPPEN TO THIS CAR AND A LOT OF OTHER CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE THIS CAR HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM CALL CUSRTSERVICE AND REFER US TO CONSUMER AFFFAIR WE ARE NOW SPEAKING TO A COSUMER AFFAIR REPRESENTATIVE THEY MADE US PAY TWICE A DIAGNOSTIC IN OREGON NOW IN CALIFORNIA AND I'M PENDING WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO OR HELP ME WITH THIS CAR. MY CAR NOW HAS 123000 THEY HAVE A EXTENDED THEIR WARRANTY TO 120000 . MY PROBLEM WITH NISSAN IS THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN INTO THEIR DEALERSHIP BEFORE THEY SAID IT WAS FINE AND IF I KNEW ABOUT THERE EXTENDED WARRANTY I WOULD HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN. NOW THE SECOND DIAGNOSTIC IN CALIFORNIA THAT I HAVE TO PAY 160 THEY SAID THAT I NEED NEW TRANSMISSION AND PENDING IN HOW THEY GOING TO HELP ME. THIS NOT ONLY IT WAS DANGEROUS BECAUSE I HAVE MY 8 MONTH DAUGHTER AND MY SON IN THE CAR AND HAVE IT STOP AND ONLY GO 20 MPR IN A HIGHWAY WHERE TRUCKS ARE PASSING FAST. AND ALSO STOP EVERY 20 MIN IN THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO LET CAR COOL DOWN. I HOPE THEY CAN DO SOMETHING BEFORE A FAMILY LOSES THERE LIFE FOR A NEGLECTED CAR THAT NISSAN

CAR WILL LOOSE ACCELERATION WHEN DRIVING ON A FLAT HIGHWAY FOR NO KNOWN REASON, IT WILL GO FROM 70 MPH TO 30 PMH AND STRUGGLE TO MOVE. PRESSING ACCESLERATOR IS LIKE STEPPING ON AIR. GOING UP A SLIGHT INCLINE CAR WILL LOOSE ACCELERATION, AFTER 20-30 MILES DRIVEN WILL LOOSE ACCELERATION, AT STOP SIGNS, RED LIGHTS WILL LOOSE ACCELERATION WHEN GOING FROM BRAKES TO ACCELERATION NOTHING WILL HAPPEN CAR WILL NOT MOVE. CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN LESS THAN 5K MILES SINCE PURCHASED USED FROM DEALERSHIP. ALSO CANNOT USE OVERDRIVE MODE, ENGINE NOISE IS VERY LOUD AND GRINDING ROUGH SOUNDS ARE HEARD .IF USING CRUISE CONTROL ACCELERATION ISSUES PLUS ENGINE SOUND WILL BOTH TURN UP AT SAME TIME. THIS IS BOTH HIGHWAY DRIVING, CITY STREET DRIVING AND ALWAYS WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION.
Power train, Vehicle speed control, Apr 10, 2017
OUR CAR INITIALLY WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FROM THE LIGHTS, SEEMED LIKE IT WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR. THANKFULLY WE WERE ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD AS IT WAS ON CA 99 , A PRETTY BUSY ROAD. AFTER A RESTART IT SEEMED FINE, UNTIL THE NEXT DAY WHEN WE WERE DRIVING HOME TO SOUTH LAKE TAHOE. THE TRANSMISSION WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND WOULD NOT GO OVER 3000RPM, PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS AS WE WERE DRIVING UP A MOUNTAIN ROAD AT NIGHT . SINCE THEN WE HAVE DRIVEN IT VERY LITTLE, BUT IT JOLTS REGULARLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WE HAVE EXPERIENCED SUCH SYMPTOMS AND THE SECOND TRANSMISSION IN THIS VEHICLE. THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT 69273 MILES, VEHICLE NOW HAS129000.

AFTER DRIVING FOR A WHILE, MY NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION STOPS WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN I TAKE OFF FROM A STOP AT A LIGHT OR INTERSECTION, THE CAR INITIALLY TAKES OFF FOR A FEW FEET, BUT THEN THE TRANSMISSION STALLS, AND THE CAR LITERALLY CREEPS THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AT A SNAILS PACE. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN IT OCCURS IN A BUSY INTERSECTION. YOU DO NOT KNOW IT IS HAPPENING UNTIL YOU ARE ALREADY IN THE INTERSECTION AS IT FEELS NORMAL WHEN YOU FIRST HIT THE GAS, AND THEN IT GOES INTO WHAT IS BEST DESCRIBED AS A VERY LOW GEAR. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE FROM THIS. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND EXTENDED ITS WARRANTY ON THE CVT TO 10 YEARS AND 120,000 MILE, BUT NEVER ISSUED A RECALL THAT I AM AWARE. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS ISSUE DID NOT OCCUR WITH MY VEHICLE UNTIL AFTER THE MILEAGE STATED. IT MAY HAVE TO DO WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE AND A FAIL SAFE MODE. THERE IS DISCUSSION OF SUCH ON THE INTERNET.

"TAKATA RECALL" I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND STOP FOR THE RED LIGHT,THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I WENT TO PULL INTO THE INTERSECTION FOR A LEFT TURN AND MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I WAS LUCKY I WAS NOT REAR ENDED BY THE CARS BEHIND ME. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS INTERNAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I ALSO HAD THE SAME DIAGNOSIS BACK IN 2013 WITH A WHISTLING AND KNOCKING SOUND. IT WAS CALLED A CVT PROBLEM BUT IN 2013 IT WAS STILL UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY SO A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS PUT IN FREE OF CHARGE. THIS TIME I AM ASK TO PAY FOR A TRANSMISSION OUT OF POCKET THAT I KNOW IS DEFECTIVE AND IT WILL CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT ONE DAY. MY CAR IS AT HUDSON NISSAN CHARLESTON SC 29406 WITH A PRICE TAG OF $5101.00.

I LIVE IN THE DENVER AREA, AND MY DAUGHTER IS IN COLLEGE IN UTAH. SHE COMPLAINED FOR THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS WHILE IN SCHOOL THAT THE CAR WOULD SPORADICALLY JUST STOP ACCELERATING. SHE ALSO SAID SHE HAD NOT CHANGED THE OIL IN A WHILE, SO I THOUGHT THAT'S WHAT HER PROBLEM WAS. SHE THEN CHANGED THE OIL, AND CONTINUED TELLING ME THAT IT WOULD JUST STOP ACCELERATING, AND SHE SAID SHE WAS SCARED TO DRIVE IT, BECAUSE SHE FELT SHE WOULD GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. HER SCHOOL IS IN SOUTH CENTRAL UTAH, AND THE CLOSEST NISSAN SERVICE CENTER WAS 100 + MILES AWAY, SO I RECOMMENDED SHE TAKE IT TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC, WHO FILLED IT WITH TRANSMISSION FLIUD. I THEN TOLD HER TO TAKE IT TO THE NEAREST TRANSMISSION SHOP, (PROVO, 100 + MILES AWAY), AND HE TOLD US ABOUT THE NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUES, AND IT WOULD BE $3900 TO REPLACE. THE CAR NOW HAS 123,900 MILES ON IT. AFTER RESEARCHING, AND FINDING OUT THAT NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 120,000 MILES, WHICH I KNEW THAT THE CAR WAS OVER THE WARRANTY, BUT DECIDED TO HAVE IT TOWED TO KEN GARFF NISSAN, NEARBY. THE VERDICT, REPLACE THE CVT TRANSMISSION AT MY EXPENSE, FOR $4600. I TOLD THE TECHNICIAN THAT WHAT'S THE USE OF PAYING THAT MUCH MONEY, AND THEN HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPEN AGAIN. HE EXPLAINED THAT NOW THEY ALSO INSTALL A CVT COOLING UNIT, WHICH IS SUPPOSE TO FIX THE PROBLEMS. I LET HIM KNOW THAT THAT'S WHAT NISSAN SHOULD HAVE ORIGINALLY DONE, RECALL THE TRANSMISSION, AND INSTALL THE COOLING UNIT. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS, AND FILED A COMPLAINT. THEY CALLED THE NEXT DAY, (TODAY), AND SAID THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING, AND CLOSED THE CASE! THE INVESTIGATOR SAID THAT THIS ONLY HAPPENED IN THE ROUGES FROM 2003 THROUGH 2010. I LET HIM KNOW THAT THAT WAS NOT TRUE, AND IS HAPPENING TO SEVERAL OTHER MODELS WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION, UP TO 2015! HE SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BUT TO PUT ME IN A NEW VEHICLE!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED SEVERE FRONT END VIBRATION WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE FAILURE WAS CONFIRMED; HOWEVER, THE REMEDY WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED NEW TIRES. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS DEFECTIVE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 115,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR A YEAR NOW. THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. THE CAR REVS UP WITH NO APPLIED ACCELERATION. IT WILL SLOW DOWN TO 45 MPH AND I'LL HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD CUT IT OFF AND RESTART THE CAR AND IT'LL STRAIGHTEN OUT FOR ANOTHER 30-45 MILES AND REPEAT. IT'S PRETTY DANGEROUS BC THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE. I'VE READ A LOT OF FORUMS AND IT SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM IN MOST NISSANS. NOT JUST THE ROGUE. I FEEL AS IF THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE ON IMMEDIATE RECALL.

I WAS DRIVING IN HIGHWAY CONDITIONS (55MPH IN 55MPH ZONE) WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY DECELERATED AND WOULD NOT GET ABOVE 30MPH. CARS BEHIND ME HAD TO SWERVE AROUND ME IN ORDER TO GET AROUND ME WITH THE SUDDEN DECELERATION. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT OFF THE HIGHWAY & ONTO LOCAL ROADS. EVERY TIME I HAD TO ACCELERATE AFTER A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, THE CAR WOULD NOT INITIALLY ACCELERATE DESPITE ME PUSHING FULL DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR. THIS REPEATEDLY ALMOST RESULTED IN MY BEING HIT BY CARS BEHIND ME. I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY MAKE IT HOME. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT I AM BEYOND THE WARRANTY EXTENSION (ABOUT 9,000 MILES PAST THE 120,000 EXTENSION), SO I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL WITH THE # OF COMPLAINTS ALL ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. ALSO, IF THE MANUFACTURER HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY, DOESN'T THAT MEAN THEY MUST BE AWARE THAT IT IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM?! IT IS SO DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING AT 55 AND SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING DECELERATE SIGNIFICANTLY. IT IS A WONDER THAT NO ONE HAS BEEN HURT (& UNFORTUNATELY PROBABLY ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS). THIS APPEARS TO BE WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR & MODEL OF ROGUE.
Power train, Jun 12, 2016
THE 2008 NISSAN ROGUE WE PURCHASED IN MARCH 2009 HAS EXPERIENCED CONTINUAL CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURES. THE FIRST FAILURE WAS MAY 2009 AND THE CVT WAS REPLACED. THE PART WAS FOUND TO BE MALFUNCTIONING AFTER DETERMINING THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY AND WAS EXPERIENCING HIGH RPMS WHILE DRIVING. THE CVT WAS REPLACED AGAIN IN APRIL 2014 AFTER LOSING FUNCTIONALITY IN A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION OCCURRED WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE EXPRESSWAY AT WHICH POINT THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY EXPERIENCED HEIGHTENED RPMS, BEGAN DECELERATING AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE GREATER THAN 20MPH. WE SAFELY EXITED THE EXPRESSWAY AT AN APPROACHING EXIT AND COASTED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP LESS THAN THREE BLOCKS FROM THE EXPRESSWAY EXIT. NISSAN RECENTLY ALERTED US THAT THE CURRENT CVT TRANSMISSION IN OUR VEHICLE WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN DESPITE HAVING ONLY 20,000 MILES SINCE THE REPLACEMENT IN 2014. NISSAN HAS DECLINED TO COVER THIS FAULTY PART IN THE VEHICLE AND HAS OFFERED INSTEAD TO PROVIDE A LONGER WARRANTY IF WE PURCHASE A BRAND NEW VEHICLE INSTEAD. IF THE CVT FAILS IN THIS VEHICLE, IT WILL HAVE BEEN THE THIRD TRANSMISSION DURING OUR OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE, REQUIRING A FOURTH TO BE INSTALLED.

I WAS HEARING & FEELING A NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING SO I TOOK MY CAR IN TO THE NISSAN DEALERS SERVICE CENTER TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. THEY STATED THAT MY TRANSMISSION AND TRANSFER CASE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NISSAN HAS EXTENDED THE TRANSMISSION WARRANTY TO 120K MILES BUT DOESN'T BACK THE TRANSFER CASE OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT RELATES TO THIS KNOW ISSUE. THEY SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE FOR ALL ISSUES CONCERNING THIS MATTER.
Power train, Mar 16, 2016
VEHICLE STARTED WITH A WHINING NOISE WHICH EVENTUALLY WAS FOLLOWED BY LOSS OF SPEED/POWER. ACCELERATION AFTER STOPPING WAS REDUCED TO A CRAWL, ALSO GRINDING NOISES AND SHAKING AND VEHICLE WANTING TO STALL. I AM NOW UNABLE TO DRIVE AS I AM FEARFUL OF DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES. THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW AND STILL OWE $6500, AND A NEW TRANSMISSION RUNNING APPROX $3000 THE EXPENSE DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. NISSAN KNOWINGLY SOLD VEHICLES TO CONSUMERS TO FILL THEY'RE POCKETS PUTTING ALL AT RISK AND FAIL TO SUPPORT THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT!

"DEFECTIVE CVT TRANSMISSIONS" I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND TO HAVE A LIGHT KNOCKING COMING FROM SOMEWHERE IN ENGINE CHECKED. I PAID FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD THAT I FELL UNDER THE RECALL BUT NOT WITH CURRENT MILEAGE 131,099. I WAS TOLD I HAD TO PAY TO REPLACE CVT TRANSMISSION.
