I took my Nissan rouge in September 2021 to a mechanic to check my car. I explained I was driving to From Tampa to Orlando in the i-4 and I could. Or accelerate, the car speed stayed at 40 mph speed , and not going more than that. I had to pull over because my car was almost wanting to shut off. Very scary situation. After my mechanic checked my vehicle, he advised me that my transmission was faulty and that I should not drive it far distance as I did. The worst part is that my Nissan never gave me any warning of the issue. My mechanic gave me a price of over $3000,which I could not afford. Now I have a car that has a bad transmission and no money to fix it.

DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HER 2014 ROGUE WITH 64,000 MILES ON IT TO COLLEGE OVER 800 MILES AWAY WHEN IT KEPT JOLTING AND CAUSING A RISE IN THE RPMS. CAR WOULD DECELERATE FROM 65 MPH TO 40 MPH WHILE GOING UP AND DOWN HILLS OR TRYING TO PASS SEMIS ON THE HIGHWAY. FINALLY HAD TO DRIVE 40 MPH TO THE NEAREST TOWN WITH A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND LEAVE VEHICLE THERE AND GET A RENTAL CAR TO DRIVE THE REST OF THE WAY TO COLLEGE. NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT CALLED AND SAID SHE NEEDS AN ENTIRELY NEW TRANSMISSION AT ONLY 64K MILES. THIS IS APPARENTLY A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSIONS, AND NOT JUST ON THE SENTRA AND VERSA. NISSAN SHOULD BE ASHAMED THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ACROSS THE BOARD YET HAVE FAILED TO RECALL AND/OR EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON ALL MODELS WITH THE SAME CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUES. MY DAUGHTER COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. NOW WE ARE FORCED TO PAY $4200 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION OR LEAVE HER STRANDED AT COLLEGE WITHOUT A VEHICLE.

THIS HAPPENED ON 3 OCCASIONS BEFORE I TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. WHILE DRIVING (TWICE ON THE FREEWAY AND ONCE ON SURFACE STREETS) THE THE CAR BEGAN TO ABRUPTLY LOOSE/DECREASE SPEED DESPITE MY ATTEMPT AT MAINTAINING SPEED BY ACCELERATING, THE CAR'S RPM METER BEGAN ACTING ERRATICALLY, AND THE ENGINE BEGAN MAKING A SOUND AS IF STRUGGLING. IN ALL CASES I HAD TO PUT ON MY HAZARDS, MOVE OVER/PULL OVER AND I HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF IN HOPES THAT IT WOULD "RESET." WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALER I WAS TOLD MY TRANSMISSION WAS OVERHEATING REPEATEDLY AND FAILING INTO A SAFE MODE. THEY SAID THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE NISSAN CVT (ROGUES) AND REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM UNLESS A TRANSMISSION COOLER SYSTEM WAS ADDED TO FIX THE ISSUE. I WAS TOLD A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN EXISTED AS IT WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM BUT WE WERE NEVER MADE AWARE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE. INSTEAD OF NISSAN PROACTIVELY LETTING CUSTOMERS KNOW THIS SO THAT WE COULD FIX IT OR ISSUE A RECALL TO PREVENT UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS THEY JUST IGNORED IT. I WAS TOLD TO CONTACT NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS WHICH I DID AND SPOKE WITH A WOMAN NAMED "LAURA" WHO AGREED TO PAY FOR A PORTION OF THE REPAIR (70%) BUT WOULD NOT SEND ANYTHING IN WRITING, GIVE ME HER LAST NAME OR DOCUMENT THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND SAFETY HAZARD. SHE STATED THAT THEY WERE AT NO OBLIGATION TO EITHER BE PROACTIVE OR COVER THE FULL COST OF THE ADDITIONAL COOLING SYSTEM AS THERE WAS NO RECALL IN PLACE.
