| Description of the problem | Was returning from trip north carolina back home to tennessee once about hour away felt car just start slowing down car wouldn't accelerate when pushing on gas. Was able to get to right hand lane and get off interstate just before car went to a crawl. Car was making whining noise while trying to move car from highway. Car came to stop and unable to move again. Had car towed back to my house sent to shop to find out that transmission had malfunctioned. Doing research on transmission found out the nissan rouge is using cvt transmission and that nissan extended the warranty to 120k or 10 years. My research also found out that other nissan owners of rogue and muranos were having issues with cvt transmission. When i found out that about the warranty i called nissan consumer care to inquire about this. I was told my model and make qualified under warranty and that mileage didn't matter. Nissan decided not to assist me with repair and replacement of transmission. I tried to tell nissan about letter that stated they would decrease cost even above 120k. They refused to do so. I had no warning sensors that there was problem with transmission. This could have been a bad accident if the transmission had of went out during heavy traffic. It appears reading about other owners experiences with cvt transmissions that nissan doesn't want to own up to having a faulty transmission. Even speaking with mechanics from outside and with nissan that this transmission is faulty and many have issues and complainants about it. |
