Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2008-2013 Nissan Rogue vehicles manufactured March 7, 2007, to November 26, 2013, and 2014 Nissan Rogue Select vehicles manufactured September 23, 2013, to July 2, 2014. The affected vehicles may experience an electrical short in the harness connector due to a mixture of snow/water and salt seeping through the carpet on the driver side floor near the harness connector.
An electrical short can cause a vehicle fire.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the kick panel wiring harness connector and will if necessary install a new harness connector and waterproof seal, free of charge. The recall began on February 26, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.

NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011 ROGUE VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM AUGUST 17, 2010, THROUGH OCTOBER 30, 2010. THE CIRCUIT BOARD MAY NOT HAVE BEEN INSTALLED IN THE CORRECT POSITION ON CERTAIN ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) ASSIST CONTROL UNITS. THIS MAY CAUSE ADDITIONAL STRESS ON THE SOLDER OF THE TERMINAL TO THE CIRCUIT BOARD RESULTING IN THE SOLDER CRACKING AND SEPARATING COMPLETELY FROM THE CIRCUIT BOARD.
AS THE CIRCUIT BOARD FAILS, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FEATURE WILL STOP FUNCTIONING, INCREASING THE FORCE NEEDED TO STEER THE VEHICLE AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
NISSAN WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE EPS CONTROL UNIT IF NECESSARY, FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING DECEMBER 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

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.

I BEGAN TO DRIVE THIS 2011 NISSAN ROGUE AND NOTICED WHEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, WHEN IT TURNED GREEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS ACCELERATOR AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER AND OVER AGAIN. WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING A SPEED OF 70 MILES MY CAR BEGAN TO LOOSE POWER, AND SPEED. IT WENT AS LOW AS 40 MILES AND I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT. I WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN HIGHWAY SPEED. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR INDICATORS EVER CAME ON. NEITHER WITH THE FIRST ISSUE, OR THE SECOND ISSUE. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING. I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 6 YR OLD WHO HAS SPECIAL NEEDS THE FIRST TIME. I BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY THINKING THAT WOULD HELP. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN, WHILE DRIVING WITH MY TWO BOYS AND TWO GRANDSON'S IN THE CAR. I AGAIN LOST POWER AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY ON THE HIGHWAY. CARS WERE FLYING BY ME, AND I FELT HELPLESS AS THIS VEHICLE WOULDN'T MAINTAIN A PROPER HI-WAY SPEED. VERY DEBILITATING. SCARY WHEN YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER YOUR VEHICLE SPEED, AND CAN'T ACCELERATE. NISSAN STATES THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THE CVT. THEY HAVE AGREED TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION AS IT HAS ALSO FAILED. BUT REFUSE TO PAY FOR THE WORK?? PLEASE HELP, AS I AM SURE I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON GOING THROUGH THIS RIGHT NOW. SO IF THEY REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION WHO'S TO SAY IT WONT HAPPEN AGAIN???
Vehicle speed control, Engine, Jul 11, 2017
WHILE DRIVING LONG DISTANCES AT HIGH SPEEDS (75-80MPH) THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING EVEN WITH GAS PEDAL FLOORED. THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY DECELERATED TO 50 MPH AND MAXED OUT AT 60 MPH. WE PULLED THE CAR OVER AND CHECKED ALL FLUIDS, WHICH PROVED NORMAL. WE TURNED THE CAR OFF TO LET IT COOL FOR A FEW MINUTES. ONCE THE CAR WAS TURNED BACK ON IT DROVE NORMALLY FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND THEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. THIS PATTERN CONTINUED FOR THE ENTIRE 7 HOUR ROAD TRIP. ONCE WE TOOK THE CAR INTO A NISSAN SHOP, WE WERE TOLD THAT NOTHING WAS FOUND DURING DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. WE WERE ALSO TOLD THIS WAS A REOCCURRING PROBLEM WITH NISSAN ROGUES DUE TO OVERHEATING OF TRANSMISSION/TRANSMISSION FLUID. IT WAS EXPLAINED TO US THAT NISSAN HAS NOT MADE A RECALL ON THIS, BUT HAS ONLY PROVIDED WARRANTIES FOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES ON 2008-2010 MODELS. UNFORTUNATELY MINE IS A 2011. THIS PUT MY FAMILY IN VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS AS WE WERE ON INTERSTATES WITH CARS AND SEMI TRUCKS TRAVELING AT VERY HIGH VELOCITIES. SEMI TRUCKS WERE HONKING AND FLASHING LIGHTS AT US OUT OF ANGER AS IT PUT THEM IN DANGER AS WELL. THIS COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED A ROAD RAGE INCIDENT.
Power train, Vehicle speed control, Apr 26, 2017
A COUPLE OF TIMES WHILE DRIVING THE CAR STOP SUDDENLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND THE ENGINE SLOWLY DIED. THIS IS QUITE WORRYING BECAUSE I AM NOT SURE HOW I WOULD COPE ON A BUSY INTERSTATE ROAD.
Vehicle speed control, Apr 18, 2017
MY 2011 NISSAN ROGUE HAS EXPERIENCED ACCELERATION PROBLEMS AFTER DRIVING IT ON THE HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT 70 MILES. IF I HAVE TO BRAKE ON THE HIGHWAY, THEN IT TAKES MY CAR A LONG TIME TO ACCELERATE BACK UP(RPM'S ARE HIGH) AND SOMETIMES CANNOT GO ABOVE 50 MPH AS CARS ARE WHIZZING BY ME. ONCE THIS ISSUE STARTS, IT CONTINUES, EVEN IF I AM AT A LOWER SPEED OR FROM A STOPPING POSITION. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS! I HAVE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND SAID THAT NISSAN IS ADDING A COOLER KIT TO THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THEY THINK THE PROBLEM IS FROM THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING. THEY WANT ANYWHERE FROM $800-1,200 TO INSTALL THE COOLING KIT. WHY SHOULD THE CONSUMER HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS IF NISSAN IS HAVING TO ADD A KIT TO COOL DOWN THE TRANSMISSION? OBVIOUSLY, IT'S A DEFAULT IN THE TRANSMISSION AND HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY ON LOTS OF VEHICLES. ACCORDING TO A WEBSITE, NISSAN HAS AN EXTENDED CVT WARRANTY FOR 2003-2010 NISSAN ROGUES, BUT NOTHING AFTER THAT EVEN THOUGH NEWER CARS (2014) ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. DO PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE FIRST BEFORE THEY DO A RECALL? IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND HARD TO RECREATE AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO GET THE TRANSMISSION WARM AND THAT USUALLY TAKES A LONGER DISTANCE TO DRIVE. ALSO, THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS THAT COME ON TO INDICATE A PROBLEM SO THIS MALFUNCTION JUST CATCHES YOU BY SURPRISE! I HOPE NHTSA GETS INVOLVED AND TELLS NISSAN TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ON THEIR DIME, NOT OURS. I WILL NEVER BUY A NISSAN AGAIN AND WILL BE SURE TO WARN MY FRIENDS OF THIS DEADLY SITUATION.
Power train, Vehicle speed control, Apr 18, 2017
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
Vehicle speed control, Jan 19, 2017, crash
I WAS AT THE STOP SIGN ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN FROM A BANK PARKING LOT, WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE TO THE LEFT WITH GREAT SPEED TOWARDS A MAJOR HIGHWAY JUST A FEW FEET AWAY. I TURNED MY WHEEL TO THE LEFT SO TO AVOID GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY AND BE HIT BY TRAFFIC. MY CAR WENT OVER THE METAL FENCE , THEN OVER A HILL AND ENDED UP ON TOP OF ANOTHER SET OF NEW CARS AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. BOTH SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE CAR IS TOTALED. THE CAR TOTALLY LOST CONTROL....AT THIS TIME I DO NOT HAVE PICTURES OR A POLICE REPORT AVAILABLE.
Vehicle speed control, Dec 24, 2016
AFTER BEING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT AN HOUR, THE CAR WILL NO LONGER ACCELERATE. IT WILL HOLD A CONSTANT SPEED BUT WILL NOT INCREASE. IF SPEED DROPS IT WILL NOT INCREASE BEYOND THE CURRENT SPEED. CRUISE CONTROL KICKS OFF. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR OVER HEATING. MECHANIC COULD NOT DIAGNOSE.
Power train, Vehicle speed control, Fuel/propulsion system, Sep 28, 2016
CAR WILL STOP ACCELERATING AFTER DRIVING FOR 45-60 MINUTES. LOUD WHINING NOISES CONSTANTLY. NISSAN HAS REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND THE SERPENTINE BELT AND IT STILL HAPPENS. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR BACK MORE THAN 8 TIMES AND THEY WILL NOT FIX IT!! PLEASE HELP! I'VE ALMOST BEEN HIT MORE THAN 5 TIMES WITH MY TWO CHILDREN IN THE CAR BECAUSE OF THESE ISSUES.
Vehicle speed control, Sep 14, 2016
SINCE PURCHASING MY 201 ROGUE IN 2012, WITH 4,000 MILES ON IT, WHENEVER DRIVING FOR MORE THAN 35-40 MINUTES, HAVE TOTAL LOSS OF ACCELERATION. HAPPENS ON HIGHWAY, DURNING DRIVING AROUND TOWN AND FROM A COMPLETE STOP. OCCURS NO MATTER THE TIME OF YEAR OR THE WEATHER CONDITIONS. RESEARCHED AND FOUND ON LINE THIS HAPPENS TO MULTITUDES OF OWNERS OF NISSAN 4CYL VEHICLES WITH CVT. NO FIX HAS BEEN NOTED, JUST WAITING FOR A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR DEATH, BEFORE NISSAN OR GOVERNMENT DOES ANYTHING. CAN NOT AFFORD TO JUST GO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE. WILL NOT EVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN 4CYL WITH THE CVT. DISAPPOINTED, CONCERNED AND HOPING I AM NOT THE FATALITY,
Electrical system, Vehicle speed control, Aug 26, 2016
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE UPON COMING TO A STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TO BE INSPECTED BY A DEALER AND A MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.
Power train, Vehicle speed control, Aug 23, 2016
WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH ON THE NEW JERSEY TURNPIKE, THE CAR SUDDENLY DROPPED IN ACCELERATION TO 40MPH. PRESSING ON THE GAS CAUSED THE RPM TO REV, HOWEVER NO CHANGE IN SPEED OCCURRED. UPON INQUIRING ABOUT THIS ISSUE, I CAME TO FIND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN'S CVT COMPONENTS THAT THE COMPANY IS AWARE OF, HOWEVER NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS, SUCH AS HEAT WAVES, USING THE CAR FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD OF TIME, AND TRAVELING UPHILL HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED TO TRIGGER THE LOSS OF ACCELERATION. THIS COMMON FLAW FOUND WITH NISSAN CARS IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AND WILL INEVITABLY RESULT IN THE LOSS OF LIFE.
Vehicle speed control, Jul 30, 2016
WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH CRUISE ON ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE CRUISE CUTS OFF AND THE CAR LOSES ACCELERATION. I PRESZED THE GASS PEDAL AND RPMS WENT UP BUT VEHICLE STILL DID NOT ACCELERATE. I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO GO OVER 40 MPH. I WAS TRAVELING WITH MY FOUR CHILDREN AND VERY LUCKY THAT THERE WAS T ANYONE BEHIND ME SO INWAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER.
Power train, Vehicle speed control, Engine, Jun 13, 2016

I PURCHASED THIS USED CAR 1 YEAR AND 3 MONTHS AGO. UNSAFE I HAVE MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. VEHICLE CAN BE AT 60 MPH, AND THEN DROP TO NOTHING WITH NO WARNING. I WANT A FULL REFUND OF THE PURCHASE PRICE I PAID FOR IT I AM TERRIFIED TO KEEP DRIVING IT

WHENEVER I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, AND MY VEHICLE IS ON CRUISE; THE CRUISE MECHANISM DROPS OFF AND THE SPEED STARTS TO DECLINE. YESTERDAY, THE VEHICLE WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO ZERO AND THE VEHICLE JUST COASTED ALONG THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. ONCE THE BATTERY WAS DISCONNECTED AND RECONNECTED; THE VEHICLE WILL RUN AGAIN, BUT THE RESET ONLY LASTS FOR ABOUT A DAY OR SO. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO MY VEHICLE WHEN TRAVEL INVOLVES LONG DISTANCES SINCE 2013 NOW. YESTERDAY, WAS THE FIRST DAY THE SPEED WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN COASTING ALONG THE HIGHWAY.
Vehicle speed control, Aug 14, 2015
THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS CAR OVERHEATS AFTER DRIVING (SLIGHTLY) UPHILL FOR OVER 5 MILES OR ANYTIME IT'S DRIVEN OVER AN HOUR. THIS CAUSES THE CAR TO LOSE ACCELERATION. MOST RECENTLY, IT OVERHEATED SO BADLY THAT I COULD PUSH THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND IT DIDN'T MOVE AT ALL. I'VE SINCE LEARNED THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF, BUT IS NOT OFFERING TO FIX THE PROBLEM OR STATE A RECALL. THEY WILL INSTALL A TRANSMISSION COOLING KIT FOR $850 AT THE CONSUMER'S EXPENSE. THE EXPENSE ASIDE, CONSUMERS NEED TO BE MADE AWARE OF THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DEFECT AS LOSS OF ACCELERATION AT HIGH SPEEDS CAN CAUSE DEADLY ACCIDENTS. NISSAN NEEDS TO BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS.
Vehicle speed control, Jul 28, 2015
I WAS DRIVING FROM DENVER TO RATON, NM. ON I-25 OUTSIDE PUEBLO, I WAS GOING ABOUT 80 MILES AN HOUR UP A HILL. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND THE SPEED QUICKLY DROPPED TO 45 MPH. I HAD THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I HAD TO PUT MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON, SO OTHER DRIVERS WOULD KNOW I WAS HAVING CAR TROUBLE. THIS HAPPENED ON FOUR OR MORE INCLINES INCLUDING RATON PASS WHERE I COULDN'T GET THE CAR OVER 25 MPH UNTIL I WAS GOING DOWNHILL. ON THE RETURN DRIVE, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. ON MY DRIVE TO BRECKENRIDGE A FEW DAYS AGO, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE AND QUICKLY LOSING SPEED ON THE FREEWAY IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I WILL GET A DIFFERENT CAR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. ONCE I STARTED RESEARCHING ONLINE, I SAW SEVERAL OTHER ROGUE OWNERS' COMMENTS ABOUT THIS KNOWN BUT IGNORED ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING ON A LONG ROAD TRIP, TWO HOURS INTO THE RIDE MY 2011 NISSAN ROGUE DECELERATED AND WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 60 MPH. I WAS GOING ABOUT 75 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT DECELERATED, WHILE I WAS FLOORING THE GAS TO 60MPH. THE GAS PEDDLE WAS COMPLETELY FLOORED AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS FIGHTING TO STAY AT 60 MPH. THE CAR STARTED VIBRATING WAS LOUD SOUNDING LIKE IT HAD NO POWER. THEN WHEN I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND CAME TO A STOP THE CAR WAS VERY DELAYED TO ACCELERATE AT ALL, AS IF IT HAD NO POWER. I REFUELED AT A LITTLE OVER A HALF TANK AND FOR THE FIRST TIME THE GAS GAUGE DID NOT REGISTER THE CORRECT MILES OR MOVE THE DIAL. ONCE I BEGAN DRIVING AGAIN, AFTER 20 MINUTES THE CAR AGAIN SLOWED AND WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 60MPH. ONCE RESTARTING THE ENGINE THE GAS GAUGE DID READ ACCURATELY. THIS OCCURRED ONCE BEFORE WHEN THE ROGUE HAD ABOUT 70K MILES ON IT AND THIS LAST INCIDENT THE CAR HAS 96K MILES. ON THE FIRST OCCASION THE ROUGE WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 50MPH. I BOUGHT THE ROGUE BRAND AND HAVE KEPT UP WITH THE REGULAR MAINTENANCE. THIS NEVER HAPPENED WHILE LIVING IN NY AND SEEMED TO START WHEN DRIVING OVER AN HOUR OR SO ON THE HIGHWAY, IN THE FLORIDA HEAT. I DID NOT TAKE IT TO GET CHECKED OUT AFTER READING VARIOUS FORUMS THAT IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE NISSAN WILL NOT FIX.

WAS DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE WITH CRUISE ENGAGED. CRUISE WOULD ABRUPTLY DISENGAGE CAUSING THE SPEED TO FALL RAPIDLY, AND ACCELERATOR WOULD CEASE TO WORK WITH GAS PEDAL PUSHED TO THE FLOOR. WOULD ALSO DECREASE SPEED WHEN CLIMBING HILLS. NEAR COLLISION TOOK PLACE AND THIS IS MY FAMILY CAR IN WHICH I ALWAYS HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN WITH ME. THIS HAPPENED ON MORE THEN ONE OCCASION AND WOULD RESULT IN MY HAVING TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESET THE VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE HURT OR KILLED. PROBLEM PERSISTED AND LEFT ME STRANDED IN AN INTERSECTION AS WELL. DEALER SAYS IT'S THE TRANS COOLER FAILING TO KEEP THE TRANSMISSION FROM OVERHEATING AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. REPAIR WILL COST BETWEEN $1100 AND $1300. CALLED CONSUMER AFFAIRS AT NISSAN AND THEY HAVE DECIDED IT'S NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE VEHICLE THAT HAS CAUSED THIS. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW FOUR YEARS AGO AND ONLY HAS 72,000 MILES. THAT RESPONSE IS UNACCEPTABLE. HAD I KNOW THE TRANNY WOULD FAIL WITHIN THAT TIME I NEVER WOULD HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. MY RECOMMENDATION, DO NOT BUY A NISSAN. THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. ALL MODELS OF ROGUE BEFORE THIS HAD THEIR CVT WARRANTIES DOUBLED TO 120,000 MILES BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM SO WHY NOT THE 2011? IT'S THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM! EXTREMELY UNHAPPY AND WILL BE FIGHTING THIS. I WILL BE CONTACTING THE BBB AND MY LAWYER. IF YOU'RE HAVING THIS PROBLEM THEN FILE A COMPLAINT. THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN AGAIN, AND WILL BOYCOTT THEM TILL THE END OF TIME. POOR VEHICLE, POOR SERVICE, POOR RESPONSE TO CONSUMER'S. STEER CLEAR IF YOU'RE SMART!

TWICE NOW, LAST AUGUST 2014 AND JUNE 2015, TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON AROUND 70 MPH, VEHICLE DECELERATES ON ITS OWN. GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, BUT STILL LOSING SPEED. HAD TO GET TO NEXT EXIT AND TURN VEHICLE OFF FOR FEW MINUTES BEFORE PROCEEDING. SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED, TOOK TO NISSAN DEALER. COULD NOT REPLICATE PROBLEM BUT RECOMMENDED A TRANSMISSION COOLING UNIT BE INSTALLED AT COST OF ABOUT $1300, WITH NO GUARANTEE THIS WILL FIX PROBLEM. MILEAGE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS 58,600. SECOND TIME AROUND 74,000 MILES. NISSAN CVT WARRANTY EXTENSION DOES NOT INCLUDE 2011 MODELS. ENDS WITH 2010 VEHICLES, ALTHOUGH THIS VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING SAME PROBLEM AS PREVIOUS YEARS MODELS.
