2011 NISSAN ROGUE Complaints

CAR WON'T ACCELERATE ON FREEWAY AFTER DRIVING FOR AN HOUR. ALSO DOESN'T ACCELERATE AFTER LEAVING FREEWAY AND AT A STOP LIGHT. SCARY AND ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT

WHEN WE DRIVE OUR ROGUE FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR, THE TRANSMISSION STOPS WORKING AND THE VEHICLE LOSES ACCELERATION. IT WILL HAPPEN WITHOUT WARNING AND IS DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE. IF WE PULL OVER AND LET IT SIT FOR A MINUTE, IT GOES BACK TO NORMAL. IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS, BUT REPEATED CALLS TO NISSAN RESULT IN BEING TOLD IT HAPPENED JUST AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AND WILL COST UPWARDS OF $3000 TO REPLACE. THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS BY NISSAN FOR THIS PROBLEM ON EARLIER MODELS, BUT THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE 2011 MODELS AS WELL.

MY CAR HAS 67,000 MILES AND NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION... GETS HOT AND FAILS LOSING POWER AND MAKES NOISES... NO ACCELERATION ALMOST HAD ACCIDENT. THIS IS SCARY AND UNFAIR I HAD IT LOOKED AT AND THE CVT TRANSMISSION IS FAILING.

JUNE 23, 2016 - I WAS DRIVING ON I-75 FROM ATLANTA, GA TO ORLANDO, FL GOING ABOUT 70 MILES PER HOUR. AFTER DRIVING ABOUT AN HOUR, THE CAR BEGAN TO DECELERATE NO MATTER HOW HARD I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR. I HAD EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM BEFORE, BUT EACH TIME I HAD TAKEN THE CAR TO NISSAN, THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETECT THE PROBLEM. I HAD EVEN TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ON JUNE 14TH TO GET IT "CHECKED OUT" BEFORE MY LONG DRIVE. DURING THAT VISIT, I AGAIN COMPLAINED OF THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO MACON, GA TO ANOTHER NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS THE TRANSMISSION. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND A TRANSMISSION COOLANT NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. I LEFT MY CAR THERE (JUNE 23RD) AND AS OF TODAY, JULY 10TH, THEY ARE STILL WORKING ON MY CAR. FIRST THERE WAS A DELAY IN GETTING THE PART, ALTHOUGH THEY PROMISED THE PART ON JUNE 24TH. NOW THEY ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE MACHINE USED TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION. ALTHOUGH THEY PROVIDED A LOANER, I STILL WANT MY CAR. AS OTHERS HAVE MENTIONED, THESE TRANSMISSIONS ARE A KNOWN ISSUE IN NISSANS AND IN MOST CASES, YOU WILL NOT HAVE AN ISSUE UNTIL YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR WARRANTY. NISSAN HAS ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY (110,000 MILES) ON ALL MODELS THROUGH 2010, BUT NOTHING ON THE 2011 ROGUE. MY CAR WAS AT 93,000 AND > 5 YEARS, SO NOW I AM STUCK FOR CLOSE TO $5000 TO GET IT REPAIRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO 40 MPH. THE VEHICLE EMITTED A NOISE IN THE REAR BEFORE THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE ONTO THE ROAD SHOULDER. THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AFTER THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,347.

JUNE 20, 2016: TRAVELING AT 70 MPH ON I-70 IN COLORADO, LESS THAN 50 MILES WEST OF GRAND JUNCTION, CO, MY 2011 NISSAN ROGUE, SUDDENLY LOST POWER ON A GRADUAL UPHILL CLIMB. NO ENGINE LIGHT OR WARNING LIGHT WAS NOTED ON THE CONSOLE. ON STEEPER INCLINES, THE ROGUE WOULD NOT EXCEED 35 MPH. HAD TO ACTIVATE THE HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS TO AVOID VEHICLES, INCLUDING SEMI-TRAILERS, FROM RUNNING INTO THE REAR OF THE ROGUE. THIS WAS A NERVE-WRACKING SAFETY CONCERN ALL THE WAY TO GRAND JUNCTION. TOOK THE ROGUE TO THE NISSAN DEALER IN GRAND JUNCTION. THE DIAGNOSTIC REVIEW CONCLUDED THAT THE ROGUE REQUIRES A NEW TRANSMISSION AND COOLER. $4655 TOTAL. THE ROGUE HAS 59,750 MILES. HAVE BECOME AWARE THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION IN NISSAN VEHICLES, INCLUDING THE ROGUE HAVE A HISTORY OF FAILURE. AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE, MY WIFE INFORMED ME THAT SHE HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM ON A TRIP FROM DENVER, CO TO RENO, NV IN MARCH 2016.

NISSAN HAS HAD AND CONTINUES TO HAVE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, THEY DID A RECALL FOR TRANSMISSION FAILURE UP TO YEAR 2009. I HAVE A 2011 NISSAN ROGUE WITH 80,000 MILES AND I JUST RECEIVED A CALL SAYING THAT MY TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS CVT TRANSMISSION HAS ALWAYS HAD PROBLEMS AND NISSAN KNOWS THIS BUT THEY WONT AND KNOW ONE IN THE GOVT WILL DO ANYTHING TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE.

AT 67,000 BOTH CV BOOTS ARE BLOWN, HAD TO REPLACE, NOW THE CVT ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION, NO ACCELERATION, TRANSMISSION GEARS REVERSE AND DRIVE, I WANT A REFUND. 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

PLEASE REMOVE MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT FOR VIN # [XXX] THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN SOLVED AND THE WARRANTY COMPANY IS REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. JUST FOUND OUT THE GOOD NEWS TODAY. THANK YOU! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I BOUGHT A USED 2011 NISSAN ROGUE IN OCTOBER 2015. ON OCTOBER 28, 2015, AFTER ABOUT 2 HOURS OF DRIVING DOWN AN INTERSTATE, I HEARD A LOUD NOISE. I LOOKED DOWN AND SAW MY TACHOMETER WAS REVVED UP IN THE RED ZONE (6) AND THE CAR WAS MAKING A LOUD, FRIGHTENING NOISE AS THOUGH THE ENGINE WAS ABOUT TO BLOW UP. I LET OFF THE GAS AND THE TACHOMETER STAYED AT 6. FRIGHTENED, I PULLED OVER SEVERAL LANES OF TRAFFIC AND OFF THE ROAD. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND SAT THERE SHAKING. AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES, I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND THE NOISE WAS GONE. I PULLED BACK OUT ONTO THE INTERSTATE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, WHICH WAS EXCEEDINGLY DANGEROUS AS THERE WERE ONCOMING SEMI'S APPROACHING AT 70+ MILES PER HOUR. IT SLOWLY PICKED UP SPEED AND I DROVE 40 MPH BECAUSE IF I WENT FASTER THAN THAT, THE TACHOMETER WOULD JUMP BACK UP INTO THE RED ZONE. I MADE IT TO A REST STOP WHERE I SAT FOR A HALF HOUR WITH THE CAR OFF. IT HAPPENED AGAIN IN NOVEMBER 2015 ON THE WAY TO VISIT MY SON TWO HOURS AWAY. THIS TIME, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CODE INDICATED THE CAR NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. IT IS STILL HAPPENING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT ALWAYS COME ON AND IF IT DOES, IT TURNS ITSELF OFF IN A DAY OR TWO. I COMMUTE TWO HOURS TO WORK AND BACK A DAY AND WITH THE WARMER (70 PLUS) WEATHER, THE PROBLEM HAS WORSENED. I HAVE TO STOP HALFWAY TO WORK AND HALFWAY BACK TO LET THE CAR COOL OFF. I'VE ALSO NOTICED A "STUTTERING", IN WHICH THE INDICATOR ON THE TACHOMETER MOVES RAPIDLY BACK AND FORTH AROUND THE ONE AND A HALF MARK AND THE CAR SHAKES. THIS GOES AWAY AT HIGHER SPEEDS BUT OCCURS WHEN I AM INCHING ALONG IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. I TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALER YESTERDAY (6.8.16). WE WERE FINALLY ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM (AND GOT VIDEO OF THE TRANSMISSION REVVING UP AND STAYING AT 5 AND THE LOUD NOISE WHILE LOSING POWER DOWN TO 20 MPH). WARRANTY COMPANY REFUSING TO PAY SO FAR.
