| Description of the problem | Shortly after purchasing a 2008 nissan rogue sl awd, i began experiencing a grinding, rattling noise coming from which i now know is the cvt transmission. Started at less than 3000 miles, very faint and inconsistent but becoming much louder, more consistent and unmistakable. After the third trip to my dealer about this noise and several other issues i am having with my 5 month old vehicle including a major water leak, they finally got on the phone to nissan usa. The service manager advised me that nissan is aware of this transmission "issue", they are working on a fix, there have been many transmissions replaced but that is not correcting the problem. I was told to sit tight and wait for nissan to come up with a resolution. I was told that the vehicle is safe to drive because there have been no reported failures from this issue. My problem is, which rogue owner with this problem (and it seems like there are many) is going to be the first one to have a transmission failure at highway speeds? I currently have less than 5,000 miles on my rogue and don't trust it. |
